inside the home but from outside and i believe that baby is alive. >> but a scientist has a different theory and he joins me right now. >> i want to let our viewers know you have a long histories of locking as these cases and have seen your theory before. what is it? >> when megyn got the information from the mother she was drinking and was drunk and passed out, it falls into a typical category of moms or parents sleeping on babies while impaired and have been described in the bible and through history which is why cribs were developed to protect babies from parents sleeping on them when they sleep together. >> you say in new york you have seen a dozen of these cases? >> yes. >> they never go to the police so, maybe the police are not

thinking this or are they? great not go to the police? >> these considered accidental deaths. in general, they are accidental. the mom may say i slept on the baby but they are not treated as crimes but, unfortunate accidents and they do not get a police investigation. >> do you think the police are looking into the theory? >> yes, that is why they are looking for the body with the equipment because what happens after? usually the parents will explain this to the police but if the mom panics as happened sometimes, doesn't want the father to know, and disposes of the bed, then the disposal of the baby could be a crime. >> so, you believe the theory is emboldened by the fact she miss add question on the polygraph. do you know where lisa is. >> she missed that question, where lisa is, and i suspect

that if she slept on the baby accidentally and disposed of the baby, that's, she knows where the baby is. >> you have a theory of what her lawyer who was on the show on tuesday, should tell her how to explain the baby's death because if it is an accident it is a misdemeanor not a felony. >> in many states, disposing of a dead body is only a misdemeanor, it isn't a further crime. and, the death itself is an accidental death. the mom, while intoxicated, puts the baby if bed with her rather than the crib because her husband isn't home, and accidentally sleeps on the baby, that is an accident and not a homicide. >> from your experience with the o.j. case and the other cases you have seen do you think this will come to a final conclusion? >> yes, i think the police will fine the baby soon in the next couple of days and i think she is not going to be charged with murder but she could be charged

with lying to the police or something like that. >> veteran interesting, doctor, a board certified we forensic psychologist with many years of experience. >> still ahead, she is married to a convicted murderer but still has a seat on the school board and is refusing to sit down. >> movie that sells the story of female basketball players who reserved everybody wrong. and g rated. i can take my kids to it! companies you're just a policy. at aviva, we're bringing humanity back to insurance and putting people before policies. aviva life insurance and annuities.

prosperity. you increase the incentives people have because the more they work the more they earn the more they keep. and, it raises more money for the treasury. that reduces the deficit. >> it would hurt h&r block. >> they don't want this. and phil gramm and steve forbes have proposed this and gotten nowhere when they ran for president. >> will it get somewhere now? >> steve forbes never was the number one guy in the polls at herman cain is right now. >> so, will mitt romney new feel pressure to adopt some kind of flat tax? >> i do, that is my prediction. have a fantastic show, stuart varney. >> think you. >> and now a couple of headlines, a 9-1-1 scale moments after a crazed gunman opened fire at his former employers at

student groups they cannot force members to practice the same beliefs. what? but does that policy actually violate the u.s. constitution? and we will talk to anchor of "freedom watch," judge napolitano. judge, so, they do not want to discriminate. they had a problem this last year and they are saying, essentially, an atheist could lead a bible class. >>judge napolitano: vanderbilt is a private university but it accepts federal funds for a variety of sources and that requires it to behave as if it were the federal government. the first amendment says no government may interfere with the free exercise of religion so, vanderbilt cannot interfere with the free exercise of religion so if jewish group wants only jews in that group they can do it and the same for any religious organization and it is protected in the first amendment freedom of association, that also is the freedom not to associate.

so, for religious purposes, and we are not talking about would you it is next to if class or where the locker is in gym we talk about whom you associate in your free team to share values, the university cannot compel you to associate and it cannot prohibit you from association so it is protected under the first amendment. what is wrong with them? >> what is wrong with them? >>judge napolitano: i suspect nonsense calls political correctness where everyone has the right to join any organization whether they share the values of the organization or they don't. political correctness is not protected under the constitution. >> the way vanderbilt with have you behave not organizations, a republican could lead the young democrats. and that is not going to work out. >>judge napolitano: it will not work out. it dilutes people that want to associate with like-minded individuals because of shared values and it says we will tell

you where you can go. you scant go where you want to. it is authoritarian and violates human liberty and if it gets into court vanderbilt will lose. >> but all the groups but four are complying. the university is saying "we are continuing to explore the issues raised and student groups that wish to practice their faith are welcome at vanderbilt." >>judge napolitano: this is a great university and it is a shame. they should know better. they should stop. >> i imagine some of the religious groups will take their groups off campus. >>judge napolitano: they cannot touch they. they should have to comebly with the constitution like everyone else. >> we will watch you tonight at 8:00 on the fox business network. and the former chairman of the house intelligence committee wants the president to return his nobel peace prize. our political panel weighs in on this, but, first, have you ever been dumped like this?

gadhafi. >> and is it still prevalent? >> at the moment we understand gadhafi's body has been delayed with the burial because the international criminal court wants to exam the body at this time. celebrations now are over for the moment. it's very peaceful here in tripoli but the transitional counsel that controls the country, they are planning a major party tomorrow when they officially announce the whole country has been liberated. as for gadhafi's body, you spoke about misrata and we understand his body was put on a hood of a car overnight and transported around the city. we also understand his body went house to house and fighters were photographed with his body. so it's pretty gruesome there in misrata at this time. but there is concern that some

of gadhafi's soldiers still will fight but we understand his hometown of sirte is quiet and people are preparing for the party tomorrow. back to you. >> thank you very much. it's interesting, and i note some of the graphics are just that, graphic. but the headline in the new york post today, gadhafi killed by a yankee fan. the picture there is of a guy in a yankee cap and apparently there he is right there. he's holding gadhafi's gun. this is a guy who apparently dragged gadhafi out of a sewer. and you did some research into why he was wearing perhaps a yankee cap. >> it turns out a lot of the clothes that we send out and put in those clothes boxes are taken by an organization called world view and given to third world country. so, for example, the t-shirts that were presented up to say new england patriots super bowl champions where the giants trial beat them, what do you do with them? you send them to another country. that's why a guy in a bruins jersey was pounding on gadhafi with his shoe.

not saying he's a brew in fan. we gave him free clothes. and the hat probably turned up in one of those situation where world view delivered free clothing. >> interesting to know. >> when you go overseas you might say another met fan. >> you don't think it's an american message then? >> i think it's benevolent america saying we are done with stuff. >> let's bring in a former yankee, and fox news contributor, john. good morning. >> good morning. glad to be here. >> now that he's out of the picture, all of those weapons that he has stockpiled over the last 30, 40 years, where the heck are they? >> i think there's a big concern particularly for what are called man pads, the man portable err defense systems, the rocket launchers that can be used to bring down airplanes. unfortunately there's some reporting they have already turned up in the gaza strip, having made it out of libya

through egypt. and i certainly think in the past several weeks, and increasingly now, we ought to be helping the rebel authorities try to locate those weapons and secure them so that more don't slip away. no question about that. >> what's the role now of the united states and nato for that matter, mr. ambassador? i was reading as soon as last night that they are leaving. >> well, they are going to declare that the mission is over and in terms of military involvement i think that's right. but as you mentioned a moment allege, the process of national reconciliation of libya is going to be very, very difficult. just to take how gadhafi died, as an example, if in fact he was killed in pros fire, that was one thing but if he was taken alive and killed by the rebels, that's going to have another implication. i'm not making a moral judgment, i'm just making a political judgment that qaddafi's followers will take that

adversely to take the least. but there are a lot of competing agendas. what the u.s. ought to do, what we should have been doing more of the last six months is quietly behind the scenes finding political ways to help empower those who were pro american, pro democracy, to help buttress their political strength against the al-qaeda supporters and others. >> the whole operation, we paid for 80% of it itself even though they led from behind. do you think the $33 billion frozen in this country of libyan assets, the first thing we should do is take our $2 billion out? do you think they should offer that? >> i think he with can work with them on that. i don't think it requires a lot of new foreign aid to help reconstruct libya. the high priority has to get their oil production back on line and get that flowing into

international customers and get the revenues from that. i don't think economically they will have difficulty, i think the really hard question is the political question, can they form a stage, nonradical government, or is there a risk of descending into anarchy like we see in somalia. >> if you are part of the taliban or hamas, whatever, you are thinking let's move to libya. there's a new whole fertile ground there. >> it's a big opportunity. >> and who is going to put on a suit and wind up at the united nations from over there? >> i'm encouraged because they cheered our camera crews when we came there and said pro western things but the rebels seemed to i press a lot of our journalists with being sincere and wanting a little bit of freedom. even though it's only the first phase, the first phase worked well in iraq and afghanistan, in libya it look longer, but let's hope we can get some tracks there. >> thank you very much for joining us live from the bureau. >> thank you, sir.

>> for the second time in two weeks the senate rejected a

portion of president obama's jobs bill. and these three and two democrats and an independent joining republicans in opposition. so where does this leave the president's plan? did he know this was going to happen anyway, why did he do it? our panel wants to way in. author of the book "when you wish upon a star" judy collins and here. comedian, actor joe piscope is here and larry o'connor. welcome to all three of you. let's start with you, if we can, judy. the jobs bill gets voted down. another portion of it. do you think the president is surprised? >> no, not after the last few months, couple of years, i don't think he's surprised at anything that the republicans are doing. >> so it feels like he's been -- joe, if the president wanted the republicans to vote for this, shouldn't he have asked him? >> if it was bill clinton, it would work out. >> because he would bring them in the oval office and find out what they needed. >> and i said it before on your program here, it's so easy how to bring jobs to america and we

can't pay for it now. this is a whole another stimulus package. the question is did the first stimulus package prevent us from going into a deep depression as opposed to a recession? did it work at all? my answer and no and why would we do it again. it's puzzling to me. i don't understand it. >> but is it politically smart. now it looks like republicans are not. >> and he didn't do it in a way that would make it go through and get it past. this has been a political charade from the very beginning. that's why he's giving speeches in front of bridge. you don't get things done in washington by standing up and say what did he say this week? maybe the republicans didn't understand it, so we will break it into pieces. >> but don't worry, he will go on the tonight show so that will make it better. >> he will get the leno treatment. >> and steve wynn went on a

thing with the president on the conference call. >> spend and brian the public, bankrupt this country, and until it stops the citizens of this country are in tore more hard times. and fancy speeches aren't going to change that. >> this is not the first time, judy, that steve wynn has gone off. a self-made multi-millionaire. what's the significance of that? >> i don't understand this concept of blaming the government for everything when the rich are not paying taxes. i mean, that puzzles me right there. you know, i'm -- i'm an fdr democrat. i was raised in a family where we felt that people should pay back. you know, they should give back to the society. they should want to support people with good healthcare. they should want to give people jobs. they should want to stop the wars. i'm a gal who grew up protesting against the vietnam war and singing about it. i think this occupy wall street business is helping us all kind

of think what's going on here? why are we not taxing the rich? why are we not getting out -- >> by the way, the top 10% of the country pace 70% of the taxes. you want them to pay 100 percent? >> it's ironic you would say you are an fdr democrat. >> i am. >> because this president has done nothing new since fdr. he's bringing forth proposals and rhetoric that stevenson would use. >> i liked him myself. >> this is the brilliant, brilliant genius you are. she is so -- >> what a suck-up. >> i know you are going to sing now. >> and bring manufacturing back to the united states of america. how does the president miss this? >> that's true. >> you have to talk. warren buffet, you have $30 billion, come to cam ten, new jersey. and give your jobs. get buffet to come in.

>> won't just give the money and give it to the government, get them growing. >> i would like to go on record that everything steve wynn is absolutely perfect and everyone should go to the wynn. >> our panel sticks around whether they like it or not. we've locked the door. the former chairman of the house intelligence committee wants the president to return his nobel peace prize. should he? looked like one twin wasn't ready to take a nap. one behaving badly and escaping for freedom. how will this end? cups in cribs, pay attention.

>> all right. it's time now for your news by the numbers. first, 3300 -- or rather 3300%. i thought that was wrong. that's correct. a nutty number. that's how much air-traffic control airs have spiked since a new training company has took over. a top faa official reportedly chose the company because her boyfriend was an employee. go figure. next, $1 billion, that's how much money the government spends each here on community college students who drop out. and finally $3 million, that's how much that rv costs. a luxurious home on wheels boasts 430 square feet filled with top of the line furniture and touch screen controls. brian, it could be at your house by the weekend. >> wouldn't be surprised if it ended up there, more on that later. and 346789uammar gadhafi's death starts a new era in libya.

and now the chairman of the intelligence committee wants president obama to give back his nobel peace prize. he said it came as a result of his continuation of programs started by president bush. back with our panel, larry, do you agree with the sentiment? tongue firmly in cheek. >> i think we start giving back things because the it didn't live up to the presidency, he should start with the presidency. but that's not going to happen. and i think president obama deserves to be in the same category at al gore and others as nobody peace rise winners. >> joe piscope knows this, he has to respect what he cass done with the drone strikes in pakistan, taking out pen -- bin laden, and as of right now he looks good.

>> i agree. he's like a hawk. does that take away the peace prize? there in lies the problem with the g.o.p. stop with the petty nagging, take away president obama's nobel peace prize. it was like romney and perry the other day. it was embarrassing. i'm a life-long democrat but i understand you guys sometimes. why with the pettiness? this guy, i know he's running for office and he's trying to start up the fire a little bit >> you don't think it's necessary? >> no. >> and he never asked for the peace prize. >> you have to get to the real issues. >> so, judy, i'm sure you don't think he should be giving it back. but are you disappointed for someone that they talked about being anti-bush being so much like bush? does that disappoint you. >> i think music can change the world. >> there you go. >> no livens on broadway. >> and i have a new children's book called "when you wish upon a star." you know when that came out, in 1940. i think if people went into the congress, both houses, and did

democratic libya that stands as the ultimate rebuke to gaddafi's dictatorship. >> what does the future hold in libya? and our involvement there? arizona senator john mccain is live with us from d.c. it's a ranking member of the armed service committee. good to see you, senator. i remember after the first efforts were happening in libya, you were one of the few politician that is came on this show and outrightly said that you supported the rebels in libya. what made you so sure that they were doing the right thing, even from the beginning? >> well, i think, gretchen, that they were part of the arab spring and that gaddafi obviously was one of the most brutal and oppressive dick taketors in history. and by the way, i will like to give the administration credit for their effort but i most of all would like to express my appreciation to the british, the french, the unite the arare. and if they had used the full weight of u.s. air power this thing would have been over a lot

earlier and spared a lot of wounded and dead. >> do you stand by your comments where you called president obama on foreign policy naive? >> i think there's a number of actions that he has taken that i don't agree with. i respect his role as president of the united states. but, for example, we will be completely out of iraq because of their mishandling of that. that's the number one goal of the iranians, is to get the united states completely out of iraq. his plans for withdrawal from afghanistan, and in the words of every military leader, increase the risks and i'm very concerned about that. there's a perception that the united states is weaker and is not leading. it's called, at least in the administration they call it leading from behind. i don't agree with that role for the president of the united states. >> one thing the president tried to be leading on in the last couple of weeks is the jobs bill that he has put forth. i want you to take a listen to something that he said on monday because i don't think you are going to like it very much. listen to this.

>> maybe they just couldn't understand the whole thing all at once. so we are going to break it up into bite-size pieces so they can take -- take a thoughtful approach to this legislation. >> so he was talking about you, senator, because you are a republican. your response? >> well, my only response is no matter how you slice it up, it's the same bologna. we have seen this movie before in stimulus one. the one that they all assured us that unemployment would be at 8% maximum, and remember the summer of recovery. it's the same old philosophical differences we have. they believe that government creates jobs. we believe that business creates jobs. and we have a jobs plan that we think is very effective and would bring our economy back. they have got more of the same. >> let me ask you this, senator because some people ever strategizing or saying that the administration did it on

purpose. they put out this massive jobs bill knowing that the republicans, and frankly some crashes would not like it so they could come back later and do just what you heard the president do. now we have senator harry reid after last night's defeat of this part of the bill saying every week he's going to bring forth one piece of the pie. is this all part of a strategy to keep getting a no, no, no from republicans? >> sure it is. and that's why we will have a side by side proposal that's part of our jobs plan that most republican senators and, of course, there's been a lot of good proposals coming out of the house, as well, we will put side by side. forks the next time they have one piece of his jobs plan, we will have, for example, a proposal for a moratorium on federal regulations or maybe unleash offshore drilling or many, a simplified tax code. there are so many proposals the americans support out there. gretchen, all know what is

holding up our recovery is uncertainty on the part of large businesses and small where the next regulars are coming from, where the next tax is coming from and total uncertainty. our proposal will give them that certainty and it has also to do with cutting individual and corporate tax rates and giving them a simpler and fair tax code. gretchen, one minute, and i apologize for this, in libya, we could help with the wounded. we could send a hospital ship over there. they have 30,000 wounded. they can't handle it. we could be assistance to them. fly some of their wound to our hospital in germany. next thing we need to do is make sure their militias is brought into a national army. it's a serious problem, different militias running around. >> exactly. >> and the other thing we could do is help them build democracy. they have never had a democracy. we did a very good job after the berlin wall fell helping the former eastern european countries building democracies. we can help that way. >> right.

>> and again, i want to thank the british and the french for their leadership. >> and it's interesting to get your take on what the next step should be in libya. senator john mccain, always great to have a chat with you. have a great weekend. >> all right. thank you. >> coming up next, no child left behind gets a makeover but is it actually a step back in the effort to reform education. we talk to a woman fought to reform dc schools, michelle reed." and gladys knight and the pitches had the former number one song in 1973 "midnight train." ♪ going back to find ♪ a simpler place in time that's good morning, veggie style. hmmm [ male announcer ] for half the calories -- plus veggie nutrition. could've had a v8.

>> good news. democrats and republicans can

work together on capitol hill to get something done. that's got news. here's the bad news, unfortunately what they agree on is scrapping teacher evaluations from a bill that overhauls no child left behind. former d.c. schools chancellor michelle rhee is the founder of "students first" and she joins us live. good morning. >> good morning. >> a whole bunch of teachers organizations and principals organization got together and wrote letter to the senate and say we have a lot on the line here. you've got take teacher evaluations out. are we going to go forward if we don't have teacher evaluations? >> i think it's hugely problematic if we around moving in the direction of making sure we are improving teacher evaluations. as long as we have systems across the country where we have kids who are failing, lots and lots of american kids who are failing, but all of the adults are being rated as doing an excellent job, we are going to

have a very significant problem and while i really commend our federal legitimate laytors for wanting to have bipartisan agreement on this bill, i think that in the name of cooperating, we've lost all semblance of accountability. >> plus there are no standards in this overhaul. no standard going forward. it's pretty much willy nilly, every locality gets to decide on their own, right? >> that's right. they have put some language in saying everybody just needs to see continuous improvement. but that is hugely problematic because at the end of the day we want american kids and american schools to be the best in the world. and the only way to do that is to have standards that we are reaching that every child, regardless of where they live, is expected to reach those standards. but kids in memphis today are not competing begins the kids in detroit. they are going to have to compete against the kids in china and india. so we have to have a set of national standards that every child in every state is expected to meet.

if we are just allowing everyone to sort of do their own thing, this wild, wild west theory of change is not going to get us to the point where we want to be, which is number one in the world. >> absolutely. and right now we are behind estonia and iceland and places like that. it's crazy because we spend the most. >> that's right. >> michelle, over the last 48 hours or over the last 24 hours the president's jobs bill, the little bite-size part that would have gone ahead and bailed out teachers and some first responders, as well, it has been defeated. we were talking in the break, and you made a really good point about this particular piece of legislation going down. >> yeah. i mean, look, everybody wants more dollars put towards education, but i think that what the american taxpayers know is that simply putting more dollars into a broken system is not going to -- not going to solve the problem. so, you know, if we had said we want more teacher jobs; however

we are going to tie it to something like getting rid of last-in, first-out polls, then i think people would have felt more comfortable we were heed in the direction of fixing the broken system. but just throwing more money at the existing system, everyone knows that's not going to do anything. >> michelle rhee joining us today from the beautiful city of nashville, tennessee. have a great weekend. >> thank you. >> what do you think? e-mail us. shouldn't there be some accountability? shouldn't there be evaluation necessary we love teachers, but still, e-mail fox and friends. now this world war ii memorial is getting evict the because it includes a statue of jesus. and gaddafi's brutal reign of terror comes to a bloody end but what happens now to libya? geraldo rivera has visited the country. he's live in the studio.

officials that he wanted to die and his final words, game over. an autopsy confirms the ohio farm owner who released 56 wild and dangerous animals shot himself. it also reveals he was bitten by one of his big cats after he took his own life. according to new reports, thompson owed about $70,000 in back taxes. 49 of those animals he released, including tigers, were shot dead. government officials trying to tear down a world war ii memorial because it's too religious. the knights of columbus say they were ordered to take down the memorial in montana's big mountain because it contains a statue of jesus. the u.s. forest service says it violates the separation of church and state, but they admit nobody ever complained about it in the nearly 6 oyers it has been there. the knights appealing the decision. here we go again with another one of these stories. something that's been there forever and sudden low one person has a problem and it will

probably have to be taken down. >> steve: one person who knows a lot about gadhafi, has followed him for decades is geraldo rivera and he joins us live. when you heard the news yesterday during our program, gadhafi, first we heard he was captured, it was true. but then within the hour he was dead. >> he was dead and the way he died, contrary to many of the american newspaper headlines, gadhafi is a coward and all the rest, i think his death will prove problematic because he fought to the death, like saddam hussein and his sons in iraq and that will help the legend live on. >> steve: his golden gun in hand. >> he died better than he lived. and i think there is real trouble ahead for this nation. three separate tribes really control it. throw three very different groups held by his crazy personality. and now that glue is removed. however, horrible it was, now libya has to build the country.

i suggest the state department now surge, the way we surged troops, let's surge diplomats, let's flood that place. try to encourage them to get these armed militias together as one national army, troy to not -- try to be libya. >> brian: it could be dangerous. because it was quiet in iraq right after the invasion and then things started sprouting up. this is really the first phase of a long journey. what are we obligated to do? we didn't take the lead. we never declared war. >> is that a bad thing that we didn't take the lead? i think the ending justifies the means. i think president obama, whatever his failures are on the domestic side has proven to be one of our most efficient warrior leaders. he has successfully taken out pip laden, al-awlaki, now gadhafi dead, cost us really church change relatively speaking. we didn't lose a single soldier or airman or sailor or marine

and that's a good thing. >> gretchen: i think the majority of americans were against boots on the ground, at least going into libya. i'm not sure -- >> i'm not sure what senator mccain is talking about. >> gretchen: but what he said on the end of that super view is exactly what you're saying. and maybe it's more pallattable to send in help now because this is more of a compassionate effort instead of a war effort. right? >> compassion is fine. i'm a very compassionate person, but i'm much more worried or preoccupied by where are those shoulder-held guided missiles? where are some of these arm amounts? i want to control what was a vast military capability and -- remember, he was our best friend from 2006 until this revolution started. we can conveniently forget the fact -- >> steve: the pan am thing. >> remember, he was basically closured from pan am once he gave up that doctor what's his

name. they basically cleared him in 2006, condoleeza rice went there, they embraced and -- >> brian: because he gave up -- he said you can take my weapons. i want no part of this. and they did. they're somewhere in the u.s. >> all i know is that the hard job, the doable job begins right now. we've got to keep our eye on these groups. we've got to really be everywhere, shoulder to shoulder with them. we have to -- remember, i met all the new leaders when i was in benghazi. they are not a drown that immediately inspires confidence in their pro-american attitude. >> gretchen: they shot at you. >> aside from that. >> oh, and then they tried to kill me. a lot of people try to kill me. >> steve: a lot of versions of how he died is it might have started with cross fire. >> oh, cross fire bologna.

his cross fire was like this, bang, bang. >> steve: but you were shot at from both sides. >> it was amazing and i've never been with a more ill disciplined military unit. they were gangsters. many of them escaped from the penalty. they armed themselves. >> gretchen: let's hope they can pull it together. i got to move to the next topic because this is an amazing theory. i know you know dr. michael bodien, expert. he was on the show earlier and he says he has a theory as to how that baby lisa, pictured here, the missing baby in missouri, how she died. here is his theory. >> i think that when megyn kelly got the information from the mother that she had been drinking, was drunk, had passed out, it falls into a typical category of moms or parents sleeping on babies while impaired by drink or drugs. one question she says she missed is the one where lisa is. i would suspect that if she

inadvertently slept on the baby accidentally and disposed of the baby, she knows where the baby is. >> gretchen: talking about missing the polygraph test question. >> two quick points. i think that bravo to megyn kelly for illicitting the information that she was drunk. i think it's very, very important. a blockbuster. and bravo to michael bodien because i think the theory has legs. it is a possibility. i believe it is virtually and have been saying since the beginning, virtually impossible for this to have been an outside job. nobody -- it's not like an apple pie you put on your window sill so it cools off. the baby was asleep in her nursery. it was very unusual that the father was working at that hour in the middle of the morning. it would have been impossible virtually for a stranger to look in the window and say aha, this is an unguarded infant and let me snatch it. so i think it's entirely possible that it was a death. i think most of these infant deaths, barring domestic violence where there is a

stepfather or boyfriend involved, they are accidental oftentimes. and i think there is the panic after the accidental death to cover up, which incidentally, hiding the body after an accidental death is only a misdemeanor. she should have come forward and admitted something. whether she rolled over the child, which is possible, or in some other way neglecteled the child, i think that's also possible. i think it's barely possible that through some incident of rage or temp that are she did something to the kid, i think that's the least likely option. i think it is very likely that this was an accidental death, a panicked cover-up. >> steve: all right. we'll be watching tomorrow. >> thank you, thank you. >> steve: thank you very much. geraldo rivera weekend, 10:00 p.m. eastern time. >> gretchen: coming up on the show, governor rick perry way down in the polls. but governor bobby jindal is still throwing his support behind him. we'll talk to the louisiana governor next. >> brian: need a wing man to go out on the town?

how about asking grandma? how about that? this grandma and granddaughter tag team taking dating to a whole new level. [ female announcer ] so you think your kids are getting enough vegetables? yeah, maybe not. v8 v-fusion juice gives them a full serving of vegetables plus a full serving of fruit. but it just tastes like fruit. v8. what's your number?

i'm a dad, coach... and i quit smoking with chantix. knowing that i could smoke during the first week was really important to me. [ male announcer ] along with support, chantix is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke -- and personally that's what i knew i needed. [ male announcer ] some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these, stop taking chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of depression or other mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if youevelop these, stop taking chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, tell your doctor if you have new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack.

use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. these are the reasons i quit smoking. [ male announcer ] ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. >> brian: he's been the governor of louisiana for the last four years of dealing with everything from the recovery of new orleans after hurricane katrina, to last year's gulf oil spill, to reducing the state's budget. it has not been easy. >> gretchen: but this weekend governor bobby jindal actually faces a reelection date. the governor joins us live from baton rouge. good morning to you, governor. >> good morning, guys. thank you for having me back. >> gretchen: you're welcome. this is a little bit of a different kind of a system that you have in louisiana. tell us what's going to happen on saturday.

>> we've got an open primary. everybody runs regardless of party. i've got nine opponents, democrat, we don't have any republican opponents. independent, others. if you get 50%, plus one, you win election in the provide marry. four years ago for the first time in our state's history as a nonincumbent, i won election in the primary. we didn't need a runoff. our goal is to win again tomorrow. we're running on a record of fiscal conservativism. for the last four years, we've cut government spending 26%, cut government spending $9 billion, got fewer state employees than we've had in over 20 years, yet at the same time, our credit ratings are higher than they've been in 25 years. for our unemployment rates below the national and southern average. southern business development, three years in a row rated louisiana the best state in the south for economic development. for 12 months in a row, we've seen private sector employment go up. 12 months in a row we've seen government jobs go down. so louisiana is headed in the right direction. we made the tough choices, unlike washington, d.c unlike president obama, we understand government doesn't create jobs.

when you cut government spending, when you cut taxes -- by the way, we enacted the largest income tax cut in our state's history. that's how you create good paying private sector jobs. >> steve: fantastic. i don't have to tell you, over the last year or so, a lot of people have talked about you for perhaps running for president or vice president. you're not running for president, but you are supporting somebody who is and that is rick perry. what did you make of the debate the other night, because a lot of people have said, you know, that's just not helpful the way the top guy, mitt romney, and rick perry went after each other. >> couple of things. one, presidential politics isen kind of like sec football, it's a contact sport, tough battle. for too many years, the republican party has preselected our candidate. i'm glad there is a rough debate because that will make our eventual nominee stronger. the reality is, we need somebody strong enough to beat president obama. i am supporting rick perry. the reality is, i think either of those guys, both of them have

been governors, both would be better than president obama. i'll support whoever is our nominee. the reason i'm supporting rick is you look at thinks track record in texas. they created half the jobs created in america the last couple of years. president obama, we lost 2 million jobs. governor perry, he created 2 million jobs. he enacted tough tort reform. he understands what it's going to take to get this country back on track. now he's going to propose this flat tax proposal. seriously cutting taxes, revamping the tax code. here is the fundamental difference between governor perry and president obama. president obama never had run anything other than his campaign before he was elected president. we don't just need another good debater. we need somebody as a governor, as a business executive balanced the budget, made tough decisions. >> brian: i don't have to tell you, the polls aren't looking good, unlike about a month ago. look at this, mitt romney out in front, according to the last ap poll. herman cain second. overall in popularity. rick perry down to 13, although he's got $17 million.

he's got ron paul with 8%. overall, the tactic of bringing up mitt romney's lawn care company, rick santorum said i don't really understand why he brought it up. do you understand why he brought it up? >> well, two things. one, i think both governor perry and governor romney understand that president obama has failed to secure the border. and i think at the end of the day, both these governors understand that we can't continue to have an open border. we need to use whatever it takes to secure our border, stop this problem of illegal immigration. the answer is not amnesty. and i think both understand that. >> gretchen: before you go, because one of the things rick perry slid in the polls from people say is because of his in-state tuition for illegals. do you agree with him on that? >> i don't. he and i aren't going to agree 100% on everything. but i respect the fact he spent $400 million of texas taxpayer dollars to help secure the border. we're not going to agree on 100% of everything, but i do agree he's cut tax, crepted jobs and that's the track record we need for america. >> steve: listen, we know you got a busy weekend. you got that open primary

tomorrow. the candidate has to get 50%. i read there was a poll by wwl, the tv station down there, if the election were held when they did the poll, you would get 57%. so i think you'll have a good weekend, governor. thank you very much. >> we're hoping. i want to remind all your viewers to vote. thank you. >> steve: sure. >> gretchen: we'll see you soon. >> brian: especially if you're in louisiana. >> steve: if you're in oklahoma, you might be puzzled. >> gretchen: she's married to a convicted murderer. so should this woman be allowed to have a seat on a school board? that controversy straight ahead. >> brian: then she's not the sweet talking cookie baking grandma. she's a straight talking grandma who has taken the dating scene to a whole new level. that's right. just ask her granddaughter. they're together and they're here next. sweetie i think you need a little extra fiber in your diet.

carol. fiber makes me sad. oh common. and how can you talk to me about fiber while you are eating a candy bar? you enjoy that. i am. [ male announcer ] fiber beyond recognition. fiber one.

>> steve: here you have now some "fox & friends" headlines from our control room. a judge told her to follow probation orders or face jail time, but that didn't stop lindsay lohan from showing up nearly an hour late for community service yesterday. she said she got lost. yeah, sure. her supervisor sent her home. she's expected to attempt to make up those hours later on today. we hope she does. apple co-founder steve jobs regretted his decision to delay cancer surgery in favor of alternative remedies. that's just one of the revelations in a new biography about him. that book will hit the shelves on monday. gretch? >> gretchen: navigating the singles scene is tough, but it

can be a lot easier with a wing man. caylee and her grandmother, gail, are out to prove exactly that. they're both single and exploring the world of on-line dating, sharing their journeys on caylee's blog. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> gretchen: i love this. you say you always admired your grandmother as so many of us do with our grandparents. but what was it that suddenly blinked in your mind to say, hey, i think she could help me date? >> well, it was her dating. first of all, she's too entertaining to be alone, for one. and her stories are so funny, i wanted to hear more of them. so i said, you should on-line date. she said, you're single, you should be on-line dating. so we kind of mutual bullying on both parts, i got it started. >> gretchen: you sort of tell it like it is, gail. so tell the story about how one of the guys you dated -- i guess he was a little younger, in his 50s, what did he say to you? >> he said to me, well, he started to talk about things like do i own my car and this and this and this, different

things that were indicating to me i would not be possibly not be interested. but he was a lovely gentleman and i liked him. so we had a very nice conversation and one of the things -- of course, he understood that i was older than he was. and he said, i think that men that are older want a nurse or a purse. >> gretchen: and you said? >> and i said, really? i had never heard that before. now, since then, i've discovered almost everybody but me had heard of it before. >> gretchen: nurse or purse. you didn't go for that? >> no. >> gretchen: some of the tips you've come up together of the manage your expectations. what do you mean by that? >> i mean just go into it knowing that you -- you might not meet your soul mate, but you can have fun. you can meet friends, you can learn about yourself and other people. you can learn about what you're looking for. but don't go into it with i'm going to meet my husband. go into it with, i'm gog have fun. >> gretchen: you say lower your expectations as well, gail? >> absolutely. because you're going just to have an enjoyable time while

you're together. you're not going to marry this man. your going to just spend time with him. >> gretchen: so many times what happens when people go on-line is there is an anonymous quality, so people don't always tell truth. they fib a little about their age or weight and height. you say be yourself. that's not a good idea. why? >> i do think you should be yourself. completely. i think especially on the profiles, you can initially start off by being -- saying you're six foot when you're not. saying your into travel when you never really travel, saying you read books, but you don't read. you need to be honest because it's all going to come out in the date regardless. >> gretchen: your third tip is have fun. here is what else i want to talk about. there is a difference in generations here in age. were there any similarities that you both found in on-line dating? >> absolutely. i find that the gentleman wants to have someone to talk to, whether he's younger or older, he wants someone that's going to hear what he says. that's very important. >> gretchen: for you? >> yeah, when going on on-line

dates, it's the same thing where we both feel nervous in the beginning. we both feel the anxieties, is he going to like me? am i going to have anything to talk about? then you organic crow begin to have a conversation. >> gretchen: what are the differences between 24 and 75 and dating? >> one, that she mentioned, pause i don't worry about if he's going to like me as much because i feel like i am what i am and he will either like me or not. but if we have a pleasant time together, that's fine. so the time we're together. >> gretchen: caylee, what have you learned from your grandmother as far as dating? >> just be relaxed, have fun. there is no rush. i'm 24. i'm not looking for a ring on my finger. neither is she. just have fun. have fun. >> have a nice dinner with someone. >> gretchen: yeah. >> enjoy the conversation. >> gretchen: you created a blog out of it and it caught on fire. great to meet the both of you. you're very charming. >> great to meet you. >> gretchen: have a great weekend. say good-bye to batman this halloween. take it isn't so. a school superintendent telling

>> brian: you're shot of the morning, the mayor of new york city putting a shovel in the ground and his foot in his mouth. >> why don't we throw some dirt. i can't wait for the last one. you have no idea. >> brian: after being elected three times, he's had enough of these ground breakings. i don't know about the christenings on those ships. he jokeeled that he might just throw a shovel full of dirt at the press as you just heard. i guess he's tired of it. but no one asked him to run for a third term and change the constitution of new york. >> gretchen: come on, everyone says those kinds of things. they just don't always have the microphone on. you know the brand, jack daniels whiskey. but did you know the company created hundreds of jobs in lynchburg, tennessee and brought in countless dollars to the area? >> steve: now some trouble for

jack's bar tab after 145 years in business, the county wants to add a $10 tax on each barrel they produce to raise tax revenues 'cause right now revenues are thin. jeff is a jack daniels master distiller and joins us from lynch burg. good morning to you. >> good morning, thank you for having us. >> gretchen: great to have you. >> steve: it's an american legend, the distilleries there at jack daniels. are they punishing you because you are successful, because tax revenues are down, they need more money? you're rolling out the barrels and they want to slap a $10-barrel tax on every barrel? >> well, you know, i think the people who are advocates for this barrel tax have cited the fact that we should do it simply because we can afford it. but we feel like as a company that through our property taxess and through other charitable

donations we're giving to the county, that we're already doing our fair share and we're a very good community citizen. i think our employees are proud to work here and also proud of all the things we've done for lynchburg over the years. >> gretchen: let's put it in perspective for our viewers. you employ more than 450 people. your also responsible for more than one third of all the taxes paid in that county already. why is it that there seems to be this philosophy that they keep coming back to the same people to pay more? >> well, i think over the years -- if you look at distilled spirits, which whiskey would full in that category, about 50 or 60% of what you pay when you buy a bottle of jack daniels is already some form of tax. so a lot of people kind of see our industry and our product as kind of low hanging fruit or as an easy target. but we feel like there has to come a point at which enough is

enough that, we compete against products that are produced in other countries that don't have barrel taxes placed upon them and we're trying to compete in a global marketplace. so we're not going to roll over when someone suggests that we should pay an additional tax and we already pay as much as we do. >> brian: here is what charles rogers said who led the campaign for the new taxes. lynchburg are the people have been involved in the success of the jack daniels brand. the value of that brand world wide is due in no small measure because they have marketed our town and people successfully. charles? your reaction to what charles said? >> well, no doubt you can't separate the jack daniels whiskey from the town of lynchburg because a lot of our employees are second and third generation. so much of what is jack daniels starts with a spring located here in lynchburg. so it's not that we have any inclination or desire to ever leave here. i think it's important that jack

daniels as part of its history and roots and part of the consistency of what people know and come to expect that we're able to stay here. but i do think that we've been very generous to try to alleviate some of the things -- we provide a lot of tourism, providing tours here at the distillery is attracted 200 or 250,000 people a year. most of those people come in and spend money -- spending money with the local merchants. we feel like that's a great benefit. i know there have been issues recognitioned that it's difficult to find parking around our square, but our court square was designed in 1870. clearly taas very small and -- it's very small. >> brian: i don't think the parking is the issue in this case. but thanks so much for joining us and telling us about this story before you ended up in finland. >> steve: that's right. and literally got jack daniels over a barrel, so to speak, because they can't leave town. by the way, our own john roberts will be following the jack daniels story throughout the day on the fox news channel. let's take a look at your headlines on this friday

morning. the trial of michael jackson's doctor, conrad murray, resumes later on today. the defense will cross-examine the prosecution's final witness, a propothol expert who says murray gave jackson so much propothol, it kept flowing into his body after he was dead. later today, murray's lawyers might call the first of their 15 witnesses and the jury could get the case by the end of next week. >> gretchen: a fancy new electric car, the kind leonardo dicaprio drives, is being built in finland with a lot of help from your tax dollars. the company got a $529 million loan from our government, but it's being made overseas because it says it doesn't have a factory in the united states. the company says some of the money is being used for engineering and design work done in america. a little birdie told me that car only gets 20 miles per gallon. >> steve: great. controversy in california. school board member refusing to step down after admitting she married a convicted murderer.

she is accused of lying to voters, telling them she was divorced when, in fact, her husband, jason garcia, was just released from prison after serving 27 years for murder. garcia admits she was dishonest, but says she's not stepping down. >> gretchen: leave your costumes at home, kids. the superintendent of schools banning them a school. he says they're a distraction that cut into educational time. many students and parents are booing his decision. they say they see no problem in having a little fun just for one day. let's go outside to brian who has some very special guests. >> brian: i absolutely do. great guests behind me would are tremendous athletes. january 12 of last year, haiti was devastated by an earthquake th people. out of that destruction came a minor miracle, an inspirational haitian soccer team of injured amputees. joining us is the coach, along

with the vice president of communications for the knights of columbus sponsoring this. andrew walter. thanks to both of you for coming down. >> good to be here. >> brian: how did this all happen? devastation happens, you're in haiti and you go to help out. >> so after the earthquake, i ce to help my brothers and sisters. when i get there, i just don't -- i was coming to help the people. so i come to help them. at the same time they really like my idea, the way i'm working and they hire me. i'm working with them to support the people. i was working like volunteer. right now i'm an employee. >> brian: andrew, they all wanted jobs. but he decided listen, if they can do an activity, that could be better to get the activity going. how did you get alert to do what he was doing, which is forming a soccer team of amputees? >> after the earthquake, we went into haiti with a lot of wheelchairs to the project

hospital and met the folks and they were great. they said what we really need in addition to the wheelchairs are prosthetics. so we started a program called healing haiti's children and basically made available to any child who was injured in the earthquake a prosthetic limb and two years of physical therapy, 700 have done it so far. >> brian: you're their coach. how do you coach a team. they can't use their crutches. that's the rules. they can use them to get their balance, but not kick the ball. these guys are good! >> after the injury, they not work because they used to work with both natural legs. so they don't have legs. they're use walker and they use crutches. when they still use crutches, and then they still fell down. so i told them, you can walk faster. we show them how to use on the crutches. >> brian: look at them! they're fantastic. they helped you out last night and you also went over to walter reed and inspired those soldiers. here is the question. i know you're the coach.

what are the chances of these guys keeping it away from me if they formed a circumstancele and keep it away? could we do that? >> yes. >> brian: you guys try to keep it away. i'll try to steal it. listen, we're going to come right back out. steve and gretchen, i'm going to work out a little bit and then you can come back outside. okay? >> steve: very good. excellent. all right. very nice. all right. straight ahead, buy a house, get a visa. it's a good deal for foreigners trying to get into the united states. but is it a raw deal for americans? we're going to talk to peter johnson, jr., our legal analyst coming up next. >> gretchen: plus, from melrose place to our own place, josey by set heading to the curvy couch with a book every parent should. >> steve: now a preview of the weekend. >> coming up this weekend, the shocking announcement that giuliana rancic has breast cancer, raising questions about fertility treatments and a

a house worth at least half a million dollars, or half a million dollars worth of residential property here in the u.s. but is the deal to help foreigners a raw deal for people in the u.s. of a? on this friday, let's talk to fox news legal analyst, peter johnson, jr. >> come on down, steve. come on down. >> steve: we got a lot of houses! >> buy the brooklyn bridge. i think at first blush, a lot of us say, this idea really stinks. are we selling america to the highest bidder? are we saying to people in china and mexico and india and great britain and canada, say, come on over. we can't afford this stuff, so you might as well buy it. we don't have the capacity to get a loan, to get a mortgage. we don't have the capacity to make the payments, so come on in on a three-year renewable visa. >> steve: let me tell you something, there are a lot of people desperate to sell their houses and they don't care if the money is from canada or if the money is from another area.

>> the emotional reaction is that we are self-sufficient americans and that we should have the capacity when we build these luxury homes to sell them to each other. we don't have that capacity now. so the proposal is an interesting one and it deserves real consideration because what we did last year is $82 billion in assets came into the united states buying our american real estate. 66 billion the year before in cities like phoenix and miami, 44% are done by foreign investors. the issue becomes, aren't they going to do it anyway without this visa? there is an estimate by the real estate industry, though, that if, in fact, this passes, it will triple the amount of foreign real estate investment. so we're talking about something like $240 billion come into our

economy every year. >> steve: for people look not guilty and thinking, wait a minute. are the senators trying to provide a way for people to buy citizenship, that's not the case. this is a visa to live in the united states. if you want to work in the united states, that's nervosa over in that department. >> absolutely correct. i think given the very tough economic times we're having and the problems that people are having, 9.1% stated unemployment and really twice that in a lot of communities, it's something we need to look at, as much as we hate it. >> steve: could this be a back doorway in for people into the country 'cause all you got to do is say, okay, here is my visa, i want to go visit. >> there is always a back doorway. we have some of the most dysfunctional immigration policies in the world. we've had it historically. but we're paying the price in this country on a lot of issues for crime and cost and for paying people to come in across

borders that we don't want here that we want them to be here legally. we don't want them to be here illegally. there is always that opportunity. but we need to look at this. is this going to help joe and jane american who are having problems? is this going to make our economy stronger or are we giving the country away to folks who we shouldn't be giving the country away to? we've got to look at it really carefully. i haven't seen the bill yet. i'll come back once i've seen it. >> steve: there is a lot to talk about. now something to think about over the weekend. good to see you. straight ahead, from melrose place to our place, josey bisset heading to the curvy couch with her new book every parent should have. we're trying to sell a lot of them. first let's check in with bill hemmer who currently does not have a book but would like one. >> she came to the right place to sell those. good morning to you, happy friday. there are new polling numbers that will have one candidate reaching for the stars and another reaching for the
