10:00 am
because of time, but thank you for sharing. that's going to do it for me here in washington and make sure to tune in to fox news sunday tomorrow and he's talking to senior advisors and make it a great day, everybody, thanks for watching! >> and a fox news alert on the growing public outcry ahead of a critical turning point in america's health care system. right now, with the nation's capital. there's a tea party rally, trying to repeal the health care law and it's now underway. thousands uniting in what they say is their last minute push against the president's overhaul, and great to have you here everyone, i'm jamie colby. >> i'm gregg jarrett. welcome inside news headquarters. several groups for and against the president's health care plan 48 hours before the u.s. supreme court hears the oral argument whether it's constitutional. and doug mcelway is live in
10:01 am
washington with more. >> it's only two days before the supreme court hears the oral argument charging the affordable care act and on that day, a crowd i would estimate at about a thousand people have come out in the rain here to upper senate park, for a rally that they're calling it the road to repeal rally. we've heard from many tea party activists today. at about 11:16 this afternoon and expected to hear from a key figure in the fight against the affordable care act. that being general cuccinelli the first of the state attorney's general to file a lawsuit against the affordable care act. on this two-year anniversary, conspicuous axis of celebration or anniversary among supporters, especially including the president of the united states, who was in south korea, as we speak. but yesterday, the minority leader of the house defended the affordable care act. here is nancy pelosi. >> there are people out there who oppose the bill who are anti-government idealogs who
10:02 am
don't think government should have a role in clear air clean water, public safety, public transportation, health care, medicare, social security, medicaid, any of it and no, but they love their medicare. except they don't realize that that is a public role there. >>. >> reporter: meantime senate minority leader mitch mcconnell took to the floor and most americans agree health care changes are needed and explained how we got to where we were. >> among the raising costs, health care for families, and job creators and taxpayers, and exposure of too many families, to the potentially catastrophic health care costs and millions of americans. yet, rather than solving the most pressing problems in the old system, the democrats partisan health care law has made many of those problems
10:03 am
far worse. >> now, when the oral arguments get underway tomorrow, or excuse me 10 a.m. there will not be a spare seat in the supreme court, in fact, we heard yesterday that people were already beginning to cue up outside the supreme court building for a chance at one of the seats and some people pay others professional line waiters to get their spot in the supreme court for these crucial arguments, greg, back to you. >> very british of you, queking up. >> and republicans are vowing to repeal the law even if it's upheld by the supreme court. and this past thursday the house voted to kill a key part requiring a federal medicare board. new fox news polls showing most americans are on the same page, 31% saying it should be repealed entirely and 28% saying only parts of it should go and 22% think expand it.
10:04 am
just 14% saying leave the measure as it is. and robert house is a former advisor to then senator joe biden and also a member of the obama biden transition team and president and ceo of fox global. and angela mcglowan an analyst, great to have both of you, and i think this is one of the most important topics i've been able to chat with a political panel with in a while and america seems to care. robert, you first. if the court rules it unconstitutional, what is president obama and his team going to do? >> that's a good question, i think i would be surprised if they did, quite frankly. i drove in this morning, past two big crowds and both of them were at movie theaters to see the "the hunger games" and the crowds on the mall weren't, but the hunger games crowds were huge. and they are he' covered in
10:05 am
obamacare and they're getting to stay on the health care for a longer time. mammograms free, protective care for free and insurance abuses and those are parts of the act that members of congress, unfortunately, mcconnell and the republican congress have not tackled. >> jamie: what about the cost though, robert? the cost of the program is being tackled. i am 'm going to ask angela abo that and employers hiring folks. can you take the issue in isolation. >> yeah, you know, the cost of health care is on everybody's mind. whether you have insurance or don't have insurance. at the core of romney care, if you can pay for it you can-- >> romney care? >> yeah that was romney's position. i don't know if that's reasonable to mcconnell yet to endorse romney, but the question of cost is real. and the panel that the house voted to do away with, their
10:06 am
specific charge was to address the cost and how to contain costs. >> angela, let me let you weigh in, because you have the economy, right, and this is like education, too, but you basically have the economy, you have jobs and you have health care, you say in talking to our producers that the election itself is an eternity away. >> yes. >> but if you get sick ap you're not covered or you don't have a job all these months, you're going to make the connections, do you think between the two issues as they impact each other. >>? you're going to, and robert with all due respect. more americans care about health care than the hunger games because it's impacting our pocket books. you have the national federation of independent businesses against this because they say that the obama administration is forcing them to buy a cadillac type health care, and they only have a kia budget, what they're going to do, lay people off or they're not going to hire people. and max baucus, saying it will
10:07 am
not increase government, it has increased government and going to cost the american people 390 billion dollars. it's expanded government, jamie, where you have 1700 new regulations of the department of hhs. and speaking of boards, it created 159 more boards, to oversee our health care system. >> jamie: robert, then let me ask you this, the deficit, the president continues to insist here for five more years and i'm going to get the deficit under control and then you do look at the stunning numbers that this health care plan will cost the american people, many of whom are going to be mandate today buy health care when their houses are worse less than they paid. i know i'm a debby downer presenting that scenario, but i hear it so much when i'm out and about. >> right. those people, if they don't have health care, they walk into an emergency room, and they get health care treatment. and somebody pays for that. so, the idea that if we don't, if we don't insurance people
10:08 am
somehow they're going to live in a fantasy world where it's not the case, we are paying for the uninsured. so, some states have laws that require you to wear a helmet if you ride a motorcycle and a seat belt in the car, if you get hurt. >> robert, yeah, sure, go ahead. >> when in history have the federal government's forced you to buy a product? that's why they're saying that the federal mandate is unconstitutional. so, what's going to be the next thing, you're going to force them to buy life insurance policies? because eventually we're going to die. the argument here is, it's in person-- did i believe that people should be insured? yes. but we shouldn't have to force people to buy into the government system, that's the argument. >> whatever the supreme court decides, robert, it will be interesting to see how they define mandate and what the government can and cannot mandate. i think angela's point is well taken, if it's this now what could it be later? you have no concern about that? >> we have social security, we
10:09 am
have medicare, the idea that the federal government has no role in health care and helping people is absurd and completely with precedence, so, i accept the notion that the government has a role here in health care, because, you know, mcconnell's tease was thoughtful in that he does a nice job of identifying the threats and the challenges. >> robert, the government, the government is supposed to protect the consumer. the government is not supposed to mandate things, so, does the government-- this is what i don't like about liberals, you turn things around. republicans are not saying that we don't want people to be insured. republicans are not saying that we don't need health care reform and in mitch mcconnell's speech millions of people were uninsured, but we want to do it the right way and you and i both know that rahm emanuel and the obama administration and speaker pelosi pushed this thing through the house and the-- >> quick question, 15 seconds, if this is ruled constitutional, i'm thinking cash for clunkers and thinking
10:10 am
administratively, do you think that this administration or any administration could actually pull off the enforcement? >> they can pull off the enforcement, but the bottom line is this: if you have a republican congress we can overturn laws. if you have a republican in the white house, you can overturn laws, but i think they're going to rule this unconstitutional. >> jamie: all right. there are arguments, top teams on both sides of the issue, all eyes will be on the supreme court this week. thanks, guys, so much. >> thank you. >> thanks a lot. gregg? >> and on the campaign trail, primary voting underway right now in louisiana. none of the candidates are campaigning there today. but rick santorum is looking to rebound after losing illinois, to rival mitt romney. and this is one might argue, newt gingrich's last stand in the south and 20 delegates are up for grabs and chief political correspondent carl cameron is live in the big easy with more, hi, carl. >> well, louisiana is going to the primaries today and we're
10:11 am
more than halfway through, according to the gingrich and santorum campaigns, they argue that louisiana represents the equivalent of half time, for those necessary for the nomination. more than 25 states voting in territories, et cetera and mitt romney has won the majority as well as the delegates. not anywhere near the 1144 needed to clinch the nomination and here in louisiana, rick santorum is favored. the former pennsylvania senator has been ahead in virtually every poll the last couple of weeks before louisiana and spent the majority of his time campaigning in the state and his campaign at super pack that supports him have been putting on lots of ads on, and for mr. santorum this is a must-win. he's expected to have victory and essentially allowing expectations and the romney and gingrich campaigns have been down playing their expectations, for mr. santorum keeping his argument going he's the only alternative to mitt romney is essential.
10:12 am
he faces a particularly tough and steep climb as the romney campaign is making that argument virtuely every hour on the hour. he has the argument he can lose in that state and delegate count as well as the states and popular vote. for romney, there's the possibility of possibly overprfove overperforming. and he the romney's campaign's assertion, a statement by rick santorum amounts to santorum's willingness. at the romney campaign is taking offense to santorum's assertion, romney and obama are the same and the country might as well stay with what it has. romney has been trying to drive a wedge between the party regulars and santorum denies it and newt gingrich actually went to college at tulane in new orleans and played time trying to play a
10:13 am
favorite neve knew role, but hasn't got a lot of money and momentum in the polls leading up to today's vote. so for newt gingrich this could be another defeat in the south, essential to his campaign strategy and that could be another nail in his political coffin and gingrich ar nude that he'll never reach the 1144 and neither will santorum and ron paul. and essentially they could block him. but none of the candidates are here today and none are planning to have results parties, almost foregone conclusion that santorum will win here in louisiana tonight. >> carl cameron live in new orleans, thanks, carl. greg, thanks so much. we're taking a look at a string of severe storms tearing through illinois. take a look at the funnel cloud that touched down in jackson, another twister carving through the nearby jefferson county and that
10:14 am
storm ravaging one home and killing its owners and neighbors are left stunned. >> it's just like it came in on the house and left everybody else alone. >> and i don't understand that, of course, but you don't understand nature. >> and it's just going to do what it's going to do. >> incredible damage there, and meteorologist maria molina live in the fox extreme weather center. >> more of this to come. >> yes. >> we're looking at severe weather today. and it doesn't seem like a major story, but we still have to take those warnings seriously and that's going to be across parts of virginia into southeastern parts of georgia and pretty much what is on the severe weather, the very same system fitting in some moisture and also some rotation for the other storms across parts of illinois and ohio and reports across parts of western kentucky down into alabama and georgia and 18 tornados were reported yesterday and we could look at more severe weather today. and aside from severe weather, the storm system is going to bring in a damper for your
10:15 am
saturday across parts of the northeast, down to southeast and also looking at light to moderate rainfall, and some of that will be moving into portions of new york city later on this evening and it will continue to rain out there throughout the overnight hours and sunday and it's going to be somewhat of a slow mover and big time rain and flooding. and we have a risk for severe storm right now across southwestern portions of virginia and north carolina and it's in effect in 8 p.m. eastern time and to be in that area and not looking at a widespread tornado threat and we still have the slight chance there. main concerns, damaging wind gusts and further off to the south, portions of southeastern georgia and northeastern florida, we have another watch in effect until 7 p.m. eastern time. otherwise, the other big story, jamie, how warm it's been out there today and another warm day across the midwest and 24 degrees above average and we're expecting a high of 76 degrees and i want to point out one city in particular, chicago, because we have a streak of record
10:16 am
temperatures or temperatures that tied the record, all of those shaded in yellow, basically where we saw the record temperatures and jamie, take a look at the 21st of march and 87 for the high recorded and almost 90 degrees, it's crazy. >> absolutely. i hope they get continued good conditions in a bad area, thanks so much, maria. >> did you break out the summer clothes yet. >> 'cause it-- >> hello. >> it's happening for us all. >> we'll take it. >> and those shorts that worked for you last summer. >> hold on folks one second. not today. >> not today. sometimes i do. >> that's true. we're going to talk about the weather coming up, and new serious concerns about the impact of the health care law, could have on america's job creators. we have a brand new report saying it will be a negative blow. what part of the fine print could be causing some of the companies to shed workers. >> if it happens can they turn that trend around. >> plus, he testified underoath. he had absolutely no idea how one point to billion dollars
10:17 am
in customer funds disappeared. now, former mf global ceo and former new jersey governor john corzine is in the hot seat and new e-mails are revealing about him today. >> i remain deeply concerned about the impacts of the unreconciled unfrozen funds have on mf global customers and others. i simply do not know where the money is or why the accounts have not been reconciled today. i habe a cohd. i toog nyguil bud i'm stild stubbed up.

10:22 am
>>. >> there was a very dangerous and deadly new crime wave sweeping our country. the so-called robbery by appointment. that's when criminals show up to buy things over the internet and in one case the man was actually killed for a diamond ring. >> casey stegall joining us live. tell us more. >> hey, jamie, good to see you. that incident that you're talking about, happened in washington state where a man was shot to death after crooks showed up at his house supposedly to buy a diamond ring he was selling online and the reality is, that's just one of many horror stores that are starting to emerge across this country. because doing business on the internet these days, is about a whole lot more than just protecting your identity. and securing your personal information, with millions of people turning to the sights like craig's list and back page to sell their goods and
10:23 am
so are the goods posing as buyers as sellers. the problems so huge in some cities like oakland, california, for example. police launched a special task force to investigate these specifically. >> it's not a big city issue, it's a worldwide issue, so, all police, all police officers are going to have to have some training and that's from the beat cop on up. >> now, earlier this year, police were able to arrest two men, they say, assaulted a potential buyer, looking to pick up an ipad off craig's list. he was robbed at gun point, look at this in a georgia grocery store parking lot. the guy was wearing a hidden camera, and cops were able to nab their suspects, but experts say you've got to use common sense. meet in a public place, to do these transactions, and don't go alone, and try to vet the person you are meeting face-to-face if you're the seller. many of the same rules apply.

>> you have big pieces of furniture, instead of inviting them into your house, upstairs to your bedroom to look at them. put them into the garage or outside on your patio if the weather is good so that people don't have to go into your house to see them. >> l.a.p.d. says it's always good to go with your gut. if something doesn't feel right, and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, jamie. >> jamie: good to know. casey stegall, thanks so much. great to see you. >> when former mf global ceo john corzine was drilled by congress about the nearly 1.2 billion dollars suddenly missing from customer accounts, well, he said he had no idea how that money langed to disappear. well, new e-mails are suggesting a very different story. the bombshell developments coming up next. >> putting our legal hats on. not that you have to, he did it under oath. >> that's the problem. lying to congress underoath,
10:25 am
might be a charge. >> we'll get the details on that. plus, a new report that claims president obama's health care law seen here signing it, is having a negative impact on jobs. what it is exactly about the law that may force some companies to shed workers. >> and a top commander in afghanistan, now is calling for a slower exit from that country. but, is keeping u.s. troops there past their withdrawal dates really what we need to do? we'll talk about it with a gentleman coming up. ♪

customer funds. now, in an e-mail obtained by congress, former employee, edith o'brien states that corzine gave her quote, direct instruction to transfer 200 million dollars to an overseas account. chief washington correspondent james rosen joining us now in washington. joining us with the latest on the details, also, the former new jersey governor, hi, james. >> there's a lot involved here, jamie. when the new york brokerage aj commodities firm collapsed in the last week of october. marked the 8th largest bankruptcy in history. customers, farmers, agri business types were out 1 1/2 billion in customers funds supposed to be kept separate or segregated from the firm's own moneys. went missing. six investigations by lawmakers, federal regulatory agents and department of justice are underway, trying to determine if somebody improperly raided the customer accounts to make up for cash
10:31 am
shortfalls, elsewhere in the firm. the form governor and senate from new jersey, a democrat, swore underoath he did nothing to encourage the inappropriate rating of the so-called segregated accounts. >> i do know that i never authorized anyone, used customer funds to make a loan for a transfer of funds, i never intended to, nor said anything construed to do that. >> and the house financial services submarine committee on overnight and investigation says it's unearthed an e-mail from assistant treasurer, edith o'brien, saying that 200 million was taken from a customer account and transferred it an overseas account to make up for shortfall, that directly contradicts mr. corzine's testimony, not commenting, and they'll face the pnl's

questioning at a hearing on wednesday, jamie. >> a lot to watch in washington, thanks, james. >> thank you. >> new developments now, a new shooting massacre in southern frach. and questioning the older brother, saying they found traces of what could be an explosive material inside his car. the 29-year-old apparently telling police he was quote, proud of his brother. he murdered thee jewish children, a rabbi and soldier in a separate gun attack in the span of eight days. he was killed by sniper fire, after a standoff with police. a u.s. soldier accused of killing afghan officials have been officially charged with 17 counts of pre-meditated murder and robert bales facing counts of murder and assault. if found guilty he could face the death penalty. he's accused of leaving a u.s.
10:33 am
military post and fatally shooting 17 people including nine children. >> meanwhile, one top military commander suggesting that the united states needs more troops on the ground there. despite the president's calls for a faster exit. the general saying he believes a significant number of combat troops will be needed to fight insurgents in 2013. so, is a slower withdrawal, what we really need? joining us now is retired u.s. army major general bob scales, a fox news military analyst, good to see you. what's your opinion on that? >> well, i think, i think general allen is right. i think we need to sustain our presence there to 2013. frankly, greg, i don't think that's going to happen. i think the u.s. force numbers are stable through 2012 and the campaign season which continued will continue through october and i think the president, probably october, november, will reconsider the strategy for 2013. but the best guess that i'm
10:34 am
hearing from my friends is the last all in fighting season, for the united states and afghanistan, is this year and all bets are off for 2013. this is so far the longest american war and look at the polling data. you see that and congress and the white house and everybody seems to be fatigued with the 10 1/2 year battle. and i want to quote juan williams and people can check out the column on foxnews.com website, but he says, quote, our afghan partners are corrupt, increasingly unreliable and some appear to be in league with the taliban and the terrorists we're supposed to be fighting against and encouraging the very pourses that are keeping afghanistan destabilized. is he right about that? >> he's right about much of that, greg, look, it's not a question of numbers. i think as juan says, war is essentially a test of will i've been saying on fox for the last ten years and the
10:35 am
real question up in the air is who is on whose side. and how much of the taliban has infiltrated the military and how loyal is the military. and how good is the partnership between the united states and the afghan army. how much of the afghan army will remain fighting in the 2013 campaign season when they take over in the majority of the fighting. i have to be honest with you. right now nobody knows. we know that it has to go well and our training has to increase this year because as i said before, in 2013, we start a whole new ball game. >> how do you think that the taliban will react once, you know, we either pull back to bases, or leave entirely? >> i'll be honest with you, i'm less worried about the taliban, fairly consistent the last couple of years and more worried about the afghan army. remember the experience of the soviets, it wasn't pleasant. the question is have we built up with the afghan military.
10:36 am
competent enough and well built enough to stick with this and not suddenly melt in 2013? the reports i've been getting lately are fairly positive despite the unpleasantness of the past few months. as i said, as the u.s. backs away from the closed in fighting. afghans move in to take over, we'll see what happens here. >> is nation building not even possible in a place like afghanistan? yes, to some extent it's worked in iraq although time will tell. but afghanistan, before we ever went in there, even the soviets were saying, nothing works there. >> yeah, i've been to afghanistan, as you know, and i've talked to leaders over there. and the answer to your question is mixed. look, this is a country where the military has ill literacy rate of 90%, it's a medieval country hasn't been conquered in years. and whether the united states
10:37 am
will make any long-term difference. what i've seen is a level of competence in the afghan military in the last few months or so that's extraordinary. the real question we have to ask, can this primitive. relatively backward country be able to resist the approach of the taliban next year and sustain themselves? as i said to you, news lately has been better than in the past, all bets are off for 2013. >> gregg: general, thank you very much. >> thanks. >> gregg: jamie. >> jamie: all right. criminals. >> gregg: beware. >> jamie: listen up, criminal, ford unveiled the next generation of police cars, in many ways the 2013 interceptor, you see it coming, it's a significant improvement over police cruisers of the past, got to tell you and fox's gary gastelu took it for a spin in this week's car report (siren sounding). i don't normally do a public service announcement, but the next time you see one of these
10:38 am
in your rear view mirror think about slowing down. this is the 2013 ford police interceptor, the new cop car that ford hopes will help maintain the strangle hold it has on the police pursuit vehicle mask. now at that the iconic crown victoria has been retired after 20 years on the force. powered by a choice of v-6 engines, including a high-tech twin turbo, the front or all wheel drive cruiser is as different from the voun vick. they loved the crown vick because of the dependable. can this compete on these levels. >> yeah, we feel confident it will compete in the durability world. we've done excessive testing on the vehicles and we've been testing with real world officers on track and in actual street performance testing and we've proven to ourselves that it meets or exceeds all of the crown vick durability requirements. the new interceptor comes with
10:39 am
factory installed strobe headlines, upgraded drive train, cooling systems and can be ordered with ballistic skin on the doors and while even the v-6 can outhustle it on the track. it does it with a better than 20% improvement in fuel economy, but the twin tour goe, with 365 horsepower, 113 more than the crown vick has. it's more than equipped to take on the stand from chevy and dodge, trying to get in on ford's act. i would admit i'm probably not the most qualified person to evaluate this as a law enforcement vick, let me put it to you this way. your police department would replace it with unone of these-- >> gary gastelu, fox news. >> no word if they let gary go. if you want to learn more about the 2013 ford police interceptor, i don't know if you could drive one yourself. go to fox car report.
