1:11 pm
mother. rather than talk in detail about the search for her daughter and efforts that are underway, she lashed out at the media and the media was essentially endangering her family disclosing where they live where the abduction took place. now she says the father is going to know this and he is a convicted sex offender currently behind bars. what is notable here, ironically days ago, the grandmother made another accusation against the media and to police and media were not doing enough because she said j.c. is black. they say when it comes to this investigation, it's completely colorblind. >> nothing could be further from the truth. this is a beautiful little five-year-old grl. the police department and the community's efforts have been unwavering from the very beginning. it doesn't matter what the color of her skin is, her nationality it would never make a
1:12 pm
difference. >> also in attendance was the grandfather. he took the opportunity to say that he welcomed the support of both the media and the police. >> heather: now finding this little girl, hopefully finding her safe and sound. how is the investigation going. >> reporter: the authorities have not said anything new. they say a great deal is happening behind the scenes but what is notable here is that, again, as i mentioned the father is a convicted sex offender. he is now behind bars. the mother has been convicted of abusing her own children. he served about half of an eight-year sentence and three children were recently taken away by child protective services. police department is aware of these facts. they are not letting those elements overshadow this very broad-based investigation. nothing is being ruled out. towards that end they are still looking at a report that one resident, when jaycee disappeared saw a dark-colored chevy in which a child may have

for cash, not to mention the feds, there is little they can do to fix our nation's crumbling infrastructure but now some are turning to the private sector to do the work. many projects like rebuilding public roads and bridges being done by private companies with no taxpayer money. brenda but never, anchor of bulls and bears joins us. i was surprised, there is a great article in the "washington post." 70 infrastructure projects being privately funded and buy. how do they do it? >> it's very interesting. in the last five years, they spent $180 billion. you have to look at the states, they are firing firefighters and teachers. they november money for this. the federal government doesn't have either. so private money is going in to building roads, rebuilding
1:22 pm
bridges, taking over a lot of these projects. they are more efficient and they need the income so it works well. >> gregg: in chesapeake, virginia they spent $10 spend it to investors and then they charge a toll. investors get their money back. everybody is a winner, right? >> exactly. >> gregg: is there something that prevents the private owners from gouging motorists? >> i mean when you drive through the lincoln tunnel and pay $12 toll. >> gregg: big difference. >> you've got the city and state -- i don't know. exorbitant tolls aren't only pay paid by the private companies. >> gregg: milton friedman often said governments are wasteful and thankfully so because were
1:23 pm
they not so, they would likely be no such thing as private free markets. this may be the prime example of it. the government doesn't do it well but private enterprise does. >> there have been some disasters. there was an expressway in california that went bankrupt because it was built at the wrong time. they used taxpayer money as a bridge loan basically. they had to write it off. taxpayers had to bring it off. >> gregg: we could do witness airports, subways and water systems? >> some of the money is coming from foreign sources and there is controversy about that. a lot of states and local municipalities are saying no to this. so some states are much more friendly. virginia being one of them. some states are just saying no. you wonder about that because there is -- a lot of this is
1:24 pm
being paid for on the federal level by the gas tax. that hasn't been raised since 1993. in today's dollars it would have to be 29 cents to buy the same thing. so there is no way that that is going to pay for what we need. >> gregg: at a time when governments are overburdened it may be a solution. brenda, thanks very much. calling 999, businessman her man cain is surging in the polls but will something the presidential candidate just did compromise his proposed tax plan? we'll be talking with fox news political panel coming up. >> heather: and holidays just around the corner, possibly a glimmer of hope to talk about for the dismal jobs market. what do you think about that, brenda? we'll have a live report coming up. >> gregg: i've already done christmas shopping for myself.

1:30 pm
gop's presidential contenders. the target, her man cain's 999 tax plan. he is raising more eyebrows by amending his proposal to allow for some exemptions, opportunity zones, not to mention poverty level exceptions. does that compromise the spirit of what is supposed to be a flat tax plan? let's ask bill clinton pollster, doug shone and matt, let me start with you. if the 999 is a flat tax and if a flat tax is by definition devoid of exceptions knowledge isn't her man cain undermining the very premise of his plan by carving out exceptions? >> yeah, i think to a large extent he is. this is the problem with all these flat income tax proposals. there still has to be a whole complicated conversation about what type of income would
1:31 pm
qualify for these tax rates. although he makes it sound simple when you actually look behind it it will be incredibly complicated. >> gregg: simplicity is never a simple concept. he has insisted that u.s. households will not see their taxes -- will see their taxes cut i should say. let's look at the plan. under the current tax system, if a family makes more than $22,000 they pay no federal income tax right now. but under cain's plan they would be over the poverty line and would not fall under his exemption they would be paying a new 9% income tax, and new 9 am tax on purchases, isn't he wrong on the analysis? >> i think he is. some independent studies under his original plan, 84% of american households would pay
1:32 pm
more. as you suggest correctly under the revised plan, those between 22,000 and psychiatrist is the limit would be paying something and ultimately for those between 22 and 50 and 60, they would be paying 9% on their income, 9% on their purchases, that being a regressive tax to be sure on consumption. so i think the her man cain plan is crafted probably yet needs another cut. >> gregg: it will get more retooling. but matt, two weeks ago on fox news sunday, cain absolutely insisted that his tax plan was not regressive. it did not hurt lower or moderate income americans, but now he is he suddenly changed it to lessen the burden on that very group. isn't that an admission he is wrong or is this a guy who has squishy convictions once it's
1:33 pm
put under the spotlight? >> i don't think he is a man of squishy convictions but the problem is for someone who a businessman and not someone who spent a lot of time in government, getting the details right in tax policy is incredibly complicated. >> gregg: some of his answers and plans don't make any sense. >> he has not had this problem on this topic and abortion. >> gregg: and foreign policy. >> this is one of questions the republican field faces, president obama has incredibly week numbers and the parties that are strong position to win back the white house, they have to make sure the person they nominate they can go toi to toe and pretty smart debater. >> i wonder if the rise of 999 plan and other tax overhaul
1:34 pm
plans, rick perry is going to come out with flat tax this next week, does that suggest to you that americans truly are hungry for a simple flat tax, maybe more so now than when it was first proposed by steve forbes 12 years ago? >> i think couple reasons, tax system is unbelievably complicated and frustrates most americans. second, i think we need to move to a system where we tax income at lower rates to encourage spending and consumption. we get rid some of the deductions so that we can get more money into the system. i think a flat tax or a tax like what was proposed on bipartisan basis in 1986 by ronald reagan an and bill bradley where the top rate was 28% makes a lot of sense in these economic times. >> doug, let me stick with you for a moment. about cain's maybe lack of
1:35 pm
answers. do you think there is a lack of preparation by her man cain? >> i do. i think somebody running for a president has an obligation to have clear answers on foreign policy, on social issues like abortion. on tax policy and the fact that he keeps changing his position or clarifying is disquieting. notwithstanding he is leading the polls and that says something profound about the republican electorate. >> gregg: that has been changing a lot the last two or three months. doug, matt, good to see you both. >> heather: it was to be a christmas miracle but the holiday shopping season is offering a glimmer of hope for the struggling jobs market. as the holidays inch closer and closer, stores all across the country they already hiring tens of thousands of temporary workers to help with the busiest shopping days of the year. casey stegall is a lot live in los angeles with more on this good news.
1:36 pm
>> when it comes to economy we will certainly take that good news. the retailers are expecting to rake in big bucks this holiday season. in fact they are predicting holiday sales will grow nearly 3% this year over last. if that rings true, consumers will be spending about $466 billion in the next couple of months. so many of the biggest retailers bulking up staff to handle that rush. macy's will hire the largest number looking to add about 78,000 temporary workers to their payroll which is 4% more than last year. toys 'r' us the world's largest toy company will add 40,000 and kohl's, both 5% increase. >> the amount of hours is between few hours up to about 20 hours. typical job is unloading a truck
1:37 pm
processing freight, stocking on the sales floor and cash register duties. >> the world of retail is not growing as fast as some sectors, it is a slow and sure process. sales have been on the rise for 15 months in a row now according to the national retail federation. the industry has added 100,000 permanent jobs just within the last year. >> it's important to keep in mind just because you start off in a seasonal employee in roo tail doesn't necessarily your job will end in january. if you do a great job, they want to add permanent jobs might look at you as a candidate for something long term. >> reporter: overall it is estimated half a million temporary workers will be hired all around the for the holidays which could hopefully put a dent in the national unemployment

news contributor. thanks for joining us. michelle obama's favorability rating. let's take a look at a poll. this particular poll which was august 18th through the 22nd on 2011, 70% view her favorably so people like her. >> they like her so the campaign wants to get her out there, out in front as a campaign season. can she really make a difference. >> i think she made a difference last time. look she is 20 points ahead of her husband in popularity. she is some shrewd about sticking to issues that are patriotic. for example, she is pro family, she is active for them and she is against obesity. the more political she gets she becomes part of the campaign and that could cut in the
1:44 pm
popularity. >> heather: can a first lady be really the make on or break for presidential candidate do you think? >> the poll numbers show how resilient she is. back in 2008 she was 30% approval rating so the qualities to go from 30 to 70% really will show the impact she will have. one thing we have to watch out for, let's say in advance of all of work she will be doing on campaign trail, let's not have the radio host and cartoons that will come out. we know she will be attacked so much. can we just stop it? the big part the role in first ladies play have been undermined and have been mean-spirited. >> do you really think president obama is going to role out joe biden? really she is more popular
1:45 pm
because of obama because his policies are failing because of high unemployment and government assistance that is up substantially. this could backfire because the message to american people that the obamas are elite they are living large in the white house. what we see they are going on vacation, lavish vacations where unemployment is through the roof and more and more men's are on government assistance. >> heather: they are trying to counter that, hence the recent trip. >> which was a photo op. why would associated press photographer happen to be there at target when she was there. >> do think the tactic work but if the intention is to bring the obama family in to the regular family type atmosphere. we have the same issues and same problems. take them out of the white house and bring them to the kitchen table, will that philosophy work

2:22 pm
specifically his name is dave camp: >> heather: are there business -- are their business practices unfair and what can we do about it? >> china is a mix of capitalism and communism. they can do what they want. i think for years they have -- their currency has been under valued as much as 40%. it is much less expensive to buy their goods. that's why everything is made in china. a lot of solar companies are
2:23 pm
saying they are dumping, basically, all of their solarç panels on our market. that's one way they are doing it. they can basically set wages. they can do whatever they want. is that fair is it not fair? i don't know. they are not known for their human rights policy. >> heather: we can't control that. what can we do on our end? >> we can set tariffs. we can do what -- that's not exactly fair on our end either. we would prefer not to have to do that type of thing.ç >> heather: if they are not playing fair. >> yes, but slowly we've been trying to get them to set the

memorialç celebrating the life of dan wheldon. he was killed last sunday during a crash at a race in las vegas. he was 33-years-old. president obama's decision to pull out all u.s. troops from iraq raising a number of questions. some critics are asking if the iraqis are prepared to defend themselves and what is to stop eye from trying to expand its influence? let's ask fox news contributor michael goodwin who wrote about it in today's column. the president in the end decided to ignore the advice of his own military commanders even those on the ground who strongly urged him to keep 10 up toç 20,000 troops beyond this year. without those forces michael, is it all together possible that iran will be now free to exert its will on iraq and expand iranian dominance in the middle east?
2:32 pm
>> i think absolutely. iran is already there. they are arming and training the militias in june for example, the bloodiest month this year for american troops, iranian-trained militias were thought to be behind the killing of 13 american troops. that's the sort of thing that is not going to stop once we leave. our troops won't be there. but there is no reason to think iran is only fighting to get us out andç then not do anything with the opening that we will have left behind. also, many members of the iranian government are close to many members of the iraqi government. both are shiites. iran clearly has talked about creating the shia crescent being the leader of the islamic revolution, especially among shiites. there's every reason to beef that iran will take advantage of our departure to expand its influence. >> gregg: you remind us in your column today how tehran
2:33 pm
has spread its tentacles of terror: . >> gregg: look, did saddam hussein for better or worse, when he was in power, act as a buffer? >> absolutely. iraq and iran fought a long war shortly after the islamic revolution in 1979. which broke american relations with iran. that war lasted eight years and it was a terrible war for both sides. i think what it did wasç it really hemmed in iran in terms of iraq would not be part of the iranian sphere.
2:34 pm
saddam for all his maniacal sides and brutal habits, certainly, i think served a larger purpose. who knows frankly, whether the bush administration ever discussed this. but the fact that once we removed saddam, we did open iraq to iranian influence. now, if you believe saddam had nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction that might have been a chance worth taking. the end result today is that iran is now has even more of an open door to the arab world. >> gregg: john mccain said today this is aç serious mistake. he said we could have negotiated an agreement on immunity for the troops which is of course what the president is using as a hook for our departure. do you suspect the president didn't sincerely try to negotiate that immunity? >> well, i don't know for sure. but, certainly the way he announced the pull-out friday,
2:35 pm
it certainly seemed as though he was happy to have the pull-out. maybe he was just putting a good face on a bad situation. but i found it strange today, hillary clinton on all the morning shows, including fox, talking about how iran shouldn't miscalculate our commitment to iraq.ç that doesn't ring true given we are pulling out and we didn't try hard to stay. it is hard to say we have a strong commitment. >> gregg: was it a "tell" as they say, that almost the first words out of the president's mouth was i'm fulfilling a campaign pledge? >> that does give up the game. another side is that don't forget the president is drawing down heavily our troops in afghanistan, almost the entire surge will be gone by next september. i think that if you are in afghanistan and you are worried about the taliban, worried about pakistan, worried about al-qaeda, america is leaving, as we have
2:36 pm
done in iraq and signaledç we've done in afghanistan, i think it makes it hard for afghans to side with us. because it looks like we are short-termers there. that's the sort of thing that sends a signal to iran, come and get it. we are leaving the field to those who want it. >> gregg: michael goodwin always great talk talking with you. to our viewers, for more on michael's views check out his column on today's "new york post" you can fan it on their website. >> heather: a win under the friday night lights lands a coach in the hospital. after a trip to the er and some metal plates in his head that coach is right back in the fight. atlanta has more. >> reporter: friday nights for more than 30 years coach daniels has been on a football field. the press box is as close as
