10:00 am
that was before i got into the water for a mile swim, i'm not going to lie. we ended up making it through. this guy is rob, he did the entire triathlon, 25 miles and a six-mile run with an american flag. we'll have more online about rob. jon: thanks for joining us. jenna: "america live" starts right now. >> reporter: a fox news alert on what was going to be a local election now getting national attention as a possible sign of trouble for the president's 2012 campaign. welcome to "america live," i'm shannon bream in for megyn kelly. a critical recall vote in the state of wisconsin in two weeks. they are finally getting a crack to dump governor scott walker after he passed new rules to hold hostage the state's
10:01 am
taxpayers. it pitts him against tom barrett. the dnc and the president's re-election team have taken new interest, promising more money, more support as walker starts to gain in the latest poll. why is this such a big deal nationally? joining us now, chris stirewalt fox news digital politics editor and host of power play on foxnews.com. there were off the record democrats complaining that the dnc was leaving them high and dry and they needed help. sounds like maybe they are getting it? >> go are getting the help but it took them going and making that stink publicly and creating that. there is a an adjective we have in politics, to be cocleyed. what happened to her, martha coakley, the president and democrats distanced themselves from here so she was left in the lurch because it looked as if it
10:02 am
was going to be a difficult election. democrats decided they did not want to be cockleyed. they said, we need the money, the republicans are all over this place, you better get n. what that means is that for the democratic party they have a lot nor clout and credibility in this race now that they are coming in in a big way. shannon: how much is this going to be about the fall? what happens with scott walker is going to say a lot about what could happen in the fall to president obama and mitt romney. things have changed over the last couple of cycles. >> the state has pretty clearly moved to the right. but for the republicans it's still not an easy pick up for them. they would like to see this election turn out as a ratification of scott walker. he's got the endorsement of the big newspaper in milwaukee now.
10:03 am
the momentum seems to be with him in this rematch with tom barrett. the republicans would like to say not only can we win this race, here is the coalition and organization that we have to deliver the state's electoral votes in the fall. shannon: i talked to the rnc chairman about this last weekend. he wouldn't give me numbers but he used the words heavily invested. how much do republican -t republicans stand to lose if scott walker gets the boot. >> it sends a chilling signal to republican governors across the country, this is important for them from a practical point of view. one other thing this is important for, wisconsin doesn't identify voters by party. you don't know who plays for which team. they have a list of people who
10:04 am
will never vote for mitt romney ever. they can focus on the other half of the electio electorate. shannon: how much did democrats have to gain if they actually pull this off? it's not just scott walker who is going to be in contention there are other state lawmakers who have been targeted as well. >> they get the flip side of what the republicans are losing. they get the slang o to say we turned the ship around. government union workers can bring considerable bare on these elections. so there is that. but really, when you're the one who launched the recall, you have a higher burden of proof. you have to do more, because you started it. >> all right.
10:05 am
chris stirewalt, always fantastic political insights. we'll see how this plays out. a recent poll shows walker building a small lead over barrett. the numbers are from a law school poll. walker has a 50% advantage to barrett's 44%. for complete, fair & balanced coverage of the 2012 campaign log onto our website foxnews.com/politics. in chicago we've got rowdy new protests breaking out as demonstrators are trying to disrupt the nato summit. we are told they are today targeting boeing headquarters in the windy city where the company is holding its annual meeting. many activists are angry that boeing makes fighter jets and helicopters and they got tax incentives to locate to chicago. >> reporter: the last of these planned demonstrations, really tends to indicate that the
10:06 am
demonstrations are losing the steam. i look up at the chicago river to where they have gathered on washington street, it is happening without a lot of sound and furry and numbers of demonstrators. a hundred or less right now. they are hanging out in the front of boeing headquarters right now. they claim victory. they say they have shut down boeing in the process. what happened is earlier in the week the management of boeing just told the people who work at the headquarters here in chicago just not to report to work. so without a lot of numbers they stand in contrast to what we saw over the weekend. what we saw were the demonstrators showing up in the street with their numbers in the thousands. and the segment of the demonstrators who wanted to have a clash with police over the weekend ultimately got one. they got one when they arrived at the end of the planned march and tried to keep going into mccormick place. they tried to keep going and the police drew the line and said you're not going to go any further. that's when we saw plastic bottles thrown at the police
10:07 am
officers, sticks thrown at police officers, they were struck by the sticks. they plucked the agitators out of the crowd. some of the police officers arinjured and demonstrators were also injured. shannon: thank you, mike tobin live in chicago. almost eight months after her chilling disappearance stunning new claims in the case of missing baby lisa irwin. the little girl allegedly snatched from her crib in the middle of the night as her mother slept in another room. now her parents are revealing new information they say could lead to a possible break in this case. trace gallagher is live in los angeles with more. hi, trace. >> reporter: shannon, this case has been running ice cold now for months and months and now suddenly we get this fascinating twist. remember baby lisa disappeared on october 4th. on november 6th her father reported his debit card had been stolen and it was successfully used for a fraudulent charge of $69. now when jeremy checked out the company the charge was made to
10:08 am
it came back as an online company in the u.k. that specializes in legally changing the name of you or your child. now we also checked it out, and the card came back to a company that is an office supply store, but the office supply and the legal name change are registered to the very same person, megyn kelly talked to the parents and the attorney about this claim. listen. >> just another could he west dense in this case. could it be nothing, an empty plead? perhaps. but when you start adding things up, when you sake that unbelievable coincidence where we have a missing baby and there is a fraudulent charge on some website that actually changes childrens names, which is unbelievable to me that that exists -- >> reporter: we contacted the kansas city police department. they said, we have been investigating the debit card lead, however we are not optimistic it will turn into anything more than stolen card numbers at most. other than that very few leads
10:09 am
and even fewer promising ones. keep in mind police have said many, many times that the parents are not fully cooperating in answering all the questions, but now the parents say, they are the ones not getting enough information. listen. >> we understand that they have a job to do. the kcpd has a job to do, f.b.i. has a job to do. it's been almost eight months since we've seen our daughter. we want answers and we want lisa and we are not going away until we get answers and she's coming home. >> reporter: the police and parents all have very little to go on in this case still. shannon: it is not over, trace, thank you very much. coming up later in this program our very own megyn kelly brings you a powerful new interview with baby lisa's parents, you saw part of it there. today they shared one of their first national interviews in months and made the most emotional appeal yet to bring their daughter home. here is a little bit of that compelling conversation.
10:10 am
>> i want to give you the last word, deborah and give you a chance to address if somebody out there has your baby and they are watching, what would you like to tell them? >> please do the right thing for lisa. she deserves to be home, with her brothers, with her mom and dad, it's not right. you think you deserve her but you don't. she deserves to be with us and we deserve her. shannon: coming up we'll bring you that full interview. hear what they have to say about the possible new lead in their daughter's disappearance and what lisa's mother has to say about the and shraugt of skeptical media over the past few months. some people are getting a lesson in free speech when it comes to our president. >> you got to realize this man is wanting to be what obama already is, okay. there is no comparison. shannon: we are going to tell you why one teacher suggested
10:11 am
that criticizing the commander-in-chief right here in the united states is enough to get you arrested and what happened when her diatribe was caught on tape. an update on the two hikers still lost in the wilderness of mt.~everest. the so-called traffic jam that led to the deaths of three others. the g.o.p. throwing a new hurdle into the race as house republicans go after the war on coal, demonstrating that the white house's plan to white bush-era coal mining regulations could cost thousands of jobs across the country. >> no one is surprised that the obama administration is continuing the war on coal but this is also a war on jobs, and the coal industry employs thousands of people in eastern and southeastern ohio. mr. speaker we all want a cleaner environment but we need to make sure that the policies
10:12 am

shannon: a pair of republican senators are raising concerns today about a lavish judicial conference planned for hawaii. judges from the 9th circuit scheduled to meet up in maui this august. taxpayers set to pick up the million dollar tab for travel and lodging at a luxury resort. senators jeff sessions and chuck grassley sent a letter to the judges asking why necessity felt they needed to hold the event in hawaii, and that was unrelated to the business of the court. >> no coal plant here in america. >> if somebody wants to build a
10:16 am
coal fire plant they k. it will bankrupt them because they will be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that is beingee milted. shannon: the republican national committee released that ad last week raising new questions about the president's approach to coal. a group of house republicans are suggesting that the obama administration is planning to make some changes to the coal regulations and it could threaten thousands of jobs in several states. lou dobbs anchor of lou dobbs tonight on the fox news network joins us to talk about what the republicans are calling the war on coal. >> it is nothing less than that shannon, and it's a war that the administration is winning and the american people are losing. governor romney has styled it that they want energy from comes from above the ground, while he wants one that kaopls from above the ground and below it as well. over 40 herz of the electricity generated in this country comes from coal. it is the cheapest energy source
10:17 am
available. $30billion is what we spend for coal-fired electricity. and this administration is as you just demonstrated there, is waging an all out battle. and by the way, they are winning in another way, and investors are losing in another way. looking at the top prices of the top coal companies in this country, they've dropped not a half, but in many cases they are down by just about 30% of where they were when this administration walked into office. it is devastating what is going on. shannon: what about the other side of this the folks that will say, coal may be one of the cheapest but it's also one of the dirtiest and we have to have epa regulations to protect our waterways and children and those kinds of things. we've heard a lot of talk from this administration about that side of this argument. >> there is really no argument to be had. everyone wants clean water and clean air, but why no emphasis on applying the technology that is available to cleanup those
10:18 am
plants. the utility industry in this country has gone to immense expense to bring clean air as a result of firing up coal plants. i mean, this administration is wasting tense of billions of dollars on solar panels that are being built more efficiently in china and spending not a dime on advanced technology to cleanup coal. it's ridiculous. shannon: g.o.p. members of the house natural resources committee have been investigating this. they've uncovered what they think is a plot to destroy the coal industry. they have recordings and other things and they've sent subpoenas to the interior department. they say this administration is ignoring the subpoenas, won't come to the table and even discuss this. >> when will republican congressional investigators actually understand that this administration will lie? you just put on air, the president of the united states and the vice president of the united states, there is no
10:19 am
conspiracy to prove that he had confessed saying that you will go bankrupt if you try to build a coal-fire plant. joe biden saying there will be no coal, not in america. think about the jobs that they are destroying as well, the jobs, 86,000 jobs in the coal industry. there is a multiplier on that of just about four. which means over 300,000 jobs indirectly are affected as they destroy the coal industry in this country. think of the billions of dollars that coal company investors have lost, the coal companies themselves, and guess what, we have that disruption as we try to sue plant coal with other energy sources. it's a war against reason as well as a war against the american people. shannon: you mentioned disruption. could this potentially disrupt the president's re-election campaign? because you're talking about key states, the top states that involve coal, places like pennsylvania, west virginia, wyoming, ohio. a lot of the states impacted by
10:20 am
those jobs. in pennsylvania alone we are talking about 20 electoral votes. >> absolutely. as you look across the range of fossil fuel sources, this is an administration that is waging a war against domestically produced crude oil as well, so that expands even farther. now we are talking about montana, north dakota, south dakota. we are talking about the heart of the country, the largest producing state of course is texas, oil-producing state. this is an administration that has -- that surely has lost its capacity to reason when it takes on fossil fuels. it is really trying to devastate what is already a very tough industry. and by the way, coal is now one of our major exports. crude oil, refined petroleum products are now for the first time in 60 years being exported by the united states. on every level this administration has its head focused inexactly the wrong
10:21 am
direction. shannon: it's interesting to note that the campaign website for the president now mentions coal specifically and how it can work as part of the plan. we'll see the administration says it's part of their all of the above approach. good to see you. you can catch lou on the fox business network every night. lou dobbs tonight heirs 7:00 eastern time. the democratic mayor of newark, new jersey got national attention when he slammed the president's re-election yesterday for knocking mitt romney's business investments. he was not the first of the president's allies to criticize attacks on governor romney's time at bain capital. the man responsible for the bombing of pan am 103 may have died this weekend but the anger of the families of the victims has not. there were 270 of them. they want to know about the deal that released him from jail in 2009, just how it went down and the search for answers on that is just ahead. >> 441 completely innocent
10:22 am
people from 32 countries, including from seven of the members of this council were murdered in an act of blatant, cold-blooded and brutal terrorism. still have doubts about taking aspirin for tough pain? listen to what mvp justin verlander thinks about it. i would say the source of most of my muscle pain would be in my shoulder. my trainer kevin rand recommended it to me.
10:23 am
i was kind of skeptical at first, but i tested it out, and bayer advanced aspirin relieved my pain fast. feeling 100% every start, every fifth day, i think definitely gives me a little bit of an edge. but don't take his word for it. put bayer advanced aspirin to the test for yourself at fastreliefchallenge.com

shannon: breaking developments following a deadly start to this weekend's climbing season and mt.~everest. search crews discovering the body of a fifth climber following, quote, overcrowding in the so-called death zone of the world's tallest peak. another climb era local tour guide still missing. all were reportedly part of a large group of 150 climbers trying to make their way down after they had already reached the peak when they were suddenly slowed down by an unexpected windstorm. trace gallagher is live in los angeles. >> reporter: this could now be the second deadliest day ever on
10:26 am
mt.~everest and the deal is is that friday and saturday were the first clear days of the spring climbing season so there was literally a rush to the top of the mountain. 150 climbers on saturday alone reached the summit. so there really was a traffic jam going up and down. the climbers are always advised not to try to reach the summit past 11:00 in the morning, yet at 2:30 in the afternoon a lot of climbers were still trying to go up the summit. going that last mile can take up to 12 hours. experts say because of the rush to get to the top some climbers don't save enough energy to get back down. they run out of oxygen, they get weak, they get altitude sickness, and we now know that five have confirmed to have died on saturday up there. one man from germany, a korean, a canadian woman, as well as climbers from china and nepal, and they are still missing a nepali guide up there. it was back in 1996 when eight
10:27 am
climbers died in one day. that was the book "into thin air" when they got hit by a snowstorm. this time they believe it was a windstorm that came up and blinded a lot of those climbers and a horrifying day on mt.~everest. they are still looking for that 6th body. shannon: that is a fascinating book with an inside look of how tough you have to be to actually pull this off, trace, a good inside picture. thank you. sobering facts on mt.~everest. a total of 236 people have died on its unforgiving slopes. the peak usually has hurricane cain-strength winds that can below at 118 miles her hour or nor. it can drop to 100 degrees below zero. on a good day, temperatures of minus 15 degrees. students learning the limits to free speech at least in one classroom with one very determined teacher. >> if you're going to talk trash about one side you have to talk trash about the other. >> let me tell you something,
10:28 am
you got to realize, this man is wanting to be what obama already is. okay. there is no comparison. shannon: the teacher suggested that criticizing the president is enough to get you arrested. what does the school think? we'll show you. a third top democrat takes issue with the obama campaign's attacks on bain capital. while newark, new jersey mayor corey booker walked back the comment after he called the attacks nauseating, the damage was already done. we'll take a look in a fair & balanced debate next. plus we are two days away from the big meeting between world leaders and iran as the head of the nuclear watchdog troop takes a tour of the country's capitol. what can we make of that and what might it mean for that critical meeting?
10:29 am
10:30 am
10:31 am
10:32 am
shannon: tracking a couple of developing stories at this hour including facebook shares dropping sharply on the first full day of trading. some investors are down 25% from where they were friday afternoon. on top of that problems with the nasdaq computer advice terms left investors uncertain about whether purchase orders were filled. they say they are changing its procedure for initial public offerings. the supreme court will not reduce the $675,000 verdict against a boston university student who illegally downloaded
10:33 am
30 songs and shared them on the internet. they refused to hear an appeal. he was successfully sued by the record companies for illegally sharing that music. millions of posting their pictures after watching a rare ring of fire eclipse. the moon passing in front of the sun leaving a golden ring around its edges. the president's re-election team defending its latest line of attack against mitt romney to the president's own support erts. it started with the president's former car czar steve ratner challenging the ad. now another high profile ally of the president publicly condemning the bain capital campaign. corey booker lashed out at the strategy going so far as to call
10:34 am
it nass kwraeuting. >> from a very personal level i'm not about to sit here and indict private equity. we are getting to a ridiculous point in america, especially i know i live in a state where pension funds, unions and other people investing in companies like bain capital. if you look at the totality of bain capital's record they've done a lot to support businesses and grow businesses and this to me i'm very unfor thible to me. this kind of stuff is nauseating to mow on both sides. it's nauseating to the american public. enough is enough. stop attacking private equity, stop attacking jeremiah wright, this stuff has got to stop. shannon: here for a fair & balanced debate, brad blakeman and dic dick harpootlin. >> this made we very happy. mayor pwaoerbg is certainly not a tea party person, he's mayor
10:35 am
of an inner-city, newark, new jersey. he has to deal with investors every day as he pointed out in pension funds and city investments. he's quite right to point out that the president is barking up the wrong tree by in one breath demonizing wall street and convenient you're capitalists and in the next breathtaking as much money as any president in history for his campaign coffers. this is due police a tee at its finest and finally he is being called out by democrats, enough is enough. shannon: somebody else who may have got even to calls, mayor booker himself. we don't know what happened after that appearance when he had that to say. this is what he had to say last night, check it out. >> let me be clear, mitt romney has made his business record a center piece of his campaign, he's talked about himself as a job creator, and therefore it is reasonable and in fact i encourage it for the obama campaign to examine that record and to discuss it. shannon: all right, dick. nauseating and then reasonable, come on.
10:36 am
>> well, i mean it's newark, what can i tell you. when my republican friends are holding newark out as their hope it demonstrates how desperate they are. mitt romney's record, again he's not a job krao creator, he's a job destroyer. one of the businesses that bain capital bought, bankrupted it, the partners of bain made a hundred million dollars in the process of bankrupting it, they put thousands of people out of work. we find out this morning that they did not pay the federal pension benefit fund back, and they made all kinds of money off the backs of the taxpayers. shannon: that's a very behavior that corey booker was defending yesterday saying that private equity firms, this is what they do, they make profits for their shareholders and you can't assume mitt romney was interes
10:37 am
involved in all of these companies. some of this when it happened he wasn't even there any more. >> that's like saying capitalism is good or bad. there are capitalists with conscience. there are people like warren buffet who has a conscience about how you make money. then you have the gordon gecos of the world. >> he owes hundreds of millions of dollars of back taxes. >> human beings do not matter. mitt romney said it best, he said corporations are people. he thinks that a corporate entity that doesn't cry, doesn't have children, doesn't try to put groceries on the table every night is the equal of a human being. that is the basic problem here. >> let's talk about this corporation. shannon: the supreme court also thinks that corporations are people, just for the record. >> for only the 1st amendment they can't have babies. >> the president of the united states nationalized a car company, general motors, became
10:38 am
government motors, under the president's watch as the steward of our shares in that company what happened to that company, dick? tens of thousands of jobs were lost. there is no more pontiac. there is no more oldsmobile, no more stat urn on their lines. what about that? >> there is a general motors. >> in the decision has this government made how do you compare that to what mitt romney did in his entire career? you talk about job losses not only in the private sector did the president bleed jobs but when he had an interest in a company for us in general motors he destroyed divisions of a car company. so, come on, dick, let's be fair and let's talk about the decisions that this president made as opposed to the decisions that bain capital made while romney was there. >> mitt romney said -- shannon: let me just ask you this. >> mitt romney said let general motors go bankrupt. shannon: we know you don't like mitt romney clearly and it's valid to have campaign ads on both sides who question the records of both individuals who want to be commander-in-chief
10:39 am
for this country. for the re-election campaign how troublesome is it to the president and his team when you have sroebg folks like meijer booker, and harold ford jr. who said he would have stood by the comments and won't have walked them back. and steve ratner, his car czar, does the white house just hope folks will stop talking? >> i know this is shocking, people really don't care wha what we say, brad. they care if we are better off today after 26 straight months of economic growth and of job kraoe aeurbgs ar creation, are we moving in the right direction, or do you want to go back to the policies of george w. bush and give him a third term by electing mitt romney. it doesn't matter what corey booker says or steve r atner says. shannon: i have to leave it there. i care what both of you say. >> and we care that you care. shannon: moving on.

the plan who planned the bombing of pan am 103 blue people out of a clear blue sky but british and scottish officials saw it fit to let him go spending three years in the company of loved ones. what happened to answers on that decision. "america live" first reported on the case of lis of missing toddler lisa irwin. today her mother, father and their lawyer sat down with an emotional conversation with megyn kelly on a new lead. >> i spoke with your client as well. there was no questioner leon that the initial report was that show had last checked on the baby at 10:40, joe. when i sat down with her, i said actually i don't know whether i checked on her at 10:40 or not. i went to bed at 6:40. you're getting lost in the weeds. i know my viewers cared about

shannon: florida has long been known as a popular spot to retire. a new investigation has turned up 53,000 dead people registered to vote in the sunshine state. florida is now calling on county elections supervisors to get their houses in order. the state was allowed to check social security files for the first time ever, thanks to a controversial new law passed by the g.o.p.-controlled state house. officials discovered more than 53,000 deceased people still on the voting roles. an attorney for the state says counties have seven days to remove those dead voters. the only man one victoriad in the 1988 bombing of pan am flight 103 was laid to rest today. abdel baset al-megrahi happens friends and family were at the funeral. they were at his side for the
10:45 am
last three years as well nursing him through prostate cancer. a deal with scottish authorities secured his release from prison. it allowed him to return to libya where he lived for years, not months as his doctors had predicted. he even out lived moammar qaddafi. it caused outrage around the world. the funeral is seen as the latest injustice for the families of 270 people that he killed, that includes the family of alexander loenst erbs in. this is father is one of the founders of victims of pan am 103. thank you for joining us today. >> it's nice to be with you. shannon: you have so many unanswered questions, i know. do you feel like we have learned anything about the deal that sent abdel baset al-megrahi out of prison in 2009? >> i think that we learned that fairly early on. it was quite clearly a deal between the british government
10:46 am
and the libyan government to release abdel baset al-megrahi in return for bp getting rights to drill for oil in libya. moammar qaddafi made it very clear to the british that if abdel baset al-megrahi died in prison they would never be allowed to dig for oil in libya. so they figured out a way to release him because he did have prostate cancer, and they released him on grounds that he should die amongst his family and friends, which is something he never considered when he blew up 270 people without allowing them to be anywhere near their family and friends. shannon: and that certainly has to be something that bothers you greatly, your own son alexander, not with his family or his friends or any comfort at all at the time that he passed. >> that is true. the fact that he was killed,
10:47 am
regardless of where or when, was just a terrible injustice, and the injustice continues when the man found guilty of murdering him was released after spending i think eight or nine years in prison. it's the equivalent of maybe a week for every person that he killed. shannon: are you worried about the wider case here, and the fact that with abdel baset al-megrahi's death there may be some questions still unanswered for a lifetime? scottish officials, many of them say they are still looking for other possible suspects, still working on this case. do you have any confidence that any one else will be called to account for what happened? >> if you had asked me that question before they released abdel baset al-megrahi i would have said the scotts are so tenacious they probably would find whoever else was responsible. they did a great job in investigating the case original leave. but once they released abdel baset al-megrahi it became clear
10:48 am
that it was a political issue. i kind of lost confidence in their desire, never mind their ability, but their desire to really find out who else was behind the bombing. clearly abdel baset al-megrahi was not of the level in the libyan security forces that he made this decision an did it all on his own, clearly there were people above him. of course moammar qaddafi is no longer with us, but others as well, and they just have never been indicted, and now it appears never will be. shannon: with his death this weekend, bringing this horrific event back to the headlines, and as we look at the video of the wreckage that was left there, what do you want to be for most on people's minds when they have this reminder this weekend of what happened so many years ago? >> that we are all potential victims of terrorism, and somehow we've got to stop that. there are people out there that are willing to kill anybody for
10:49 am
political or fanatic, religious reasons, and somehow we have to put a stop to them. shannon: peter lowenstein we thank you so much for sharing part of your day for us. we know the loss of your son alexander is a chapter that will never be closed and we wish you the best in your recovery. >> thank you very much. shannon: a north carolina teacher getting national attention after telling her students that criticism of our current president was quote, just not allowed. >> if you're going to talk trash about one side you've got to talk trash about the other. >> no, darling. you have to realize this man is wanting to be what obama already is. there is no comparison. shannon: up next trace tells us what the school is now saying after that teachable moment result ned media calls from coast to coast. two days away from the meeting between world leaders and iran. the head of the nuclear watchdog today is taking a tour of
10:50 am
teheran. what could we make of that and what could it mean for wednesday's meeting? c'mon dad! i'm here to unleash my inner cowboy. instead i g heartburn.

10:52 am
10:53 am
moment in north carolina but it's generating lots of interest. a teacher is getting nation until attention after being caught on tape yelling at one of her students for criticizing president obama. even telling him he could, quote, get arrested for speaking ill of the president. trace gallagher is live in los angeles with the story and the fallout. hi, trace. >> reporter: hi, shannon. it sounds like this social studies teacher is an obama supporters but we'll let you decide that. the fact is i the talk in the
10:54 am
class was that mitt romney was a bully in high school. and a student said didn't president obama acknowledge that he bullied someone in high school. she said, not that she knew of. then the shouting began. >> that is disrespect. that is disrespect. >> you're disrespecting romney, you don't even know that. >> mitt romney is a presidential candidate, he's not the president. >> he's just a man, obama is no god. he's still a man. >> let me tell you something. you will not disrespect the president of the united states in this classroom. >> reporter: she went onto warn the student that if he spoke ill of the president he could get arrested. well the student reminded her, that is not exactly how it works, that speech is protected by the first amendment. if he actually threatened the president he could get arrested, and then the conversation turned to george w. bush.
10:55 am
listen. >> i want to tell you something about me. as a teacher i'm not supposed to allow you to disrespect the president of the united states, i'm not. >> i didn't disrespect him, i just asked a question. >> you do, you always do. >> i have different beliefs. everybody talked about bush, everybody did. >> because he was. [bleep] >> if you ever -- wait, wait, if you ever said anything bad about bush while i was in office -- >> get out a minute. do you real lights that people were arrested for saying things bad about bush? >> reporter: clearly one of the students recorded this whole thing on their phone, put it on the internet and this thing has gone viral. the school has been inundated with comments from people around the country, but the school has decided not to identify the teacher, not to discipline the teacher, not to even suspend the teacher at all. they said simply that this is something that teachers need to
10:56 am
take into account to make sure they are professionals in the classroom. a lot of parents by the way not quite happy with that response. so we'll see if it ends here. but this is getting a lot of play around the country, shannon. shannon: i'm guessing that is not a civics class where they would have learned about the first amendment? i don't know. we'll find out. >> reporter: a social studies class, and the kids actually showed that they are listening, right? they know a lot about the constitution and about current events. shannon: classrooms are a good place to have those debates, trace, thank you. >> reporter: okay. shannon: we have got some major breaking news on a title wave of new lawsuits filed today against part of the president's healthcare lawsuits. one of the biggest stories of the day is just three minutes away. plus the romney campaign nearly tied president obama in donations last month and the president's superpac pretty much nonexistent. so what happened to the 2-1 fundraising edge democrats had back in 2008? we'll take a look more closely at that when we come back. and the food police, laying down the law. why a teeny little mistake with
10:57 am
a soda machine is costing one high school $15,000 in fines. >> it's kind of ridiculous. i mean it's soda pop, it's not going to kill us. it should just be a choice that we have. >> now it's just the drinking fountain, that's all we've got. that's not fun. all energy development comes with some risk, but proven technologies allow natural gas producers to supply affordable, cleaner energy, while protecting our environment. across america, these technologies protect air - by monitoring air quality and reducing emissions...
10:58 am
...protect water - through conservation and self-contained recycling systems... ... and protect land - by reducing our footprint and respecting wildlife. america's natural gas... domestic, abundant, clean energy to power our lives... that's smarter power today.

11:00 am
shannon: a fox news alert. a major development in the fight over the president's healthcare law. one of the largest roman catholic archdiocese in the country and the most prominent among the institutions filing a lawsuit. archdiocese of new york and notre dame, just two of 43 plaintiffs suing the obama administration claiming that the mandate to provide birth control
11:01 am
pills, morning after pills and abortions violates their religious freedom. >> reporter: today the archbishop of new york made good on his vow. his action one of dozens of lawsuits, a coordinated action that also includes the university of notre dame, the most prominent roman catholic school in america. under the authority of healthcare, kathleen sebelius is forcing them to cover birth tropical which is violating their deeply held ridge beliefs. in a statement cardinal dolan said we tried to negotiate with the administration and legislation with congress and there i is still no fix. time is running out and our precious ministries and fundamental rights are running out so we have to resort to the
11:02 am
court now. >> we bishops have been bolstered by a good number of people, many of whom are not catholics. constitutional scholars and legal experts who have approached the bishops conference and individual bishops to say we are on your side. we feel passionately about the present techs of ridge freedom. we believe we should pursue this legally. we are on your side. count ounce. and we are going to take them up on that. >> reporter: the obama administration has been push a religious exemption. but it applies to institutions that primarily serve and employ catholics. but hospital, soup kitchens, homeless centers, they don't qualify because they don't discriminate against non-catholics that come to hem for help. a catholic university in ohio dropped all of its health
11:03 am
insurance not only because of of the birth control mandate but because of the overall cost. taxpayers may have to pick up the health costs of those students. and another catholic university in florida appears to be doing the same thing. dropping all of their insurance. shannon: to give you an idea of the size and might of the catholic institutions. new york's archdiocese covers 370 parishes and is home to 7 million catholics. the archdiocese of washington which covers 140 parishes and is oklahoma to 600,000 catholic parishioners. those are two of the 43 plaintiffs now suing this administration. new fundraising questions cropping up in the race for the white house. we got reports that governor
11:04 am
mitt romney nearly tied with president obama in general donations and the president's super pac numbers continue to struggle it's a far cry from the 2-1 fundraising edge the democrats had in 2008. bob, should the president's team be worried about these numbers yet? >> i think democrats are very worried that romney is starting to catch up and the super pac for obama has not gained traction even after the president flipped as far as embracing the super pac. romney feels -- the romney supporters feel like they have some momentum. obama still has the money edge but the super pack has been disappointing for obama. shannon: all throughout the primary season it seems like the gop super pacs are raking in tens of millions of dollars. >> a lot of republicans are not
11:05 am
fired up for romney, but they are fired up to defeat obama. hollywood has not stepped up to the plate as far as the super pacs. we saw bill maher give a million doll parse but that has not been followed up. we are 169 days to go before elect so the time is now. shannon: the president had some high-dollar fundraisers. most notably at the home of george clooney. he says he respects the right of same-sex couples to get married. do you think that announcement will show up that's in that community come forward to put their dollars behind this president? >> i think he could get a slight bump. but i don't think it will be that significant because of the change of positions on super pacs in general. still we haven't seen the dollars. could there be a lot of donations from day activists? there could be. but the difference between obama's campaign and the super pac is it's unlimited to the
11:06 am
super pac. there is only so much you can give. i don't think you are going to see a major shift. shannon: how tricky is it with the super pacs not being directly linked to the campaigns but want to go advocate on their behalf. sometimes they get into hot water. >> >> it's very tricky, especially if the super pac does something embarrassing like the jeremiah wright controversy. and romney had to distance himself from that. many within the washington beltway think obama is the favorite and he's going to win. that could change things for obama's super pac. but it will be tricky. as ads come out. the campaigns will be asked, what do you think of that. shannon: thank you. pressure is mounting to find out who leaked information about a failed terror plot in yemen to
11:07 am
bomb a u.s.-bound jetliner. some calling the leak criminal and kree onous. peter king is asking the fbi for a full investigation too find out just who is responsible. mike emanuel is live in our newsroom. >> reporter: there were concerns the release of that sensitive information may have compromised u.s. operations against al qaeda. congressman king wrote mueller today saying this was handled in the most restricted manner possible about it intelligence community and the white house which means it would have had to a emanated from a small universe. that makes the leak all the more distressing which is why i believe an investigation of a security breach of this magnitude must even come bass everyone who had access to this vital information. the fbi director said he, too,
11:08 am
is concerned about how this information got out. >> leaks such as this threaten ongoing operations. puts at risk the lives of sources, makes it more difficult to recruit sources, and damages our relationships with our foreign partners, and consequently a looks like this is taken seriously and we'll investigate thoroughly. >> reporter: democrattic congressman adam shift said this leak has been devastating. >> if the published reports are accurate you can imagine what operational impact that would have and what that says about sources and methods. and to have that information needlessly disclosed serves no valuable purpose. >> reporter: there have been recent prosecutions for leaks including bradley man hog was accused of leaking a massive amount of information to wickly leaks and there have been prosecution of cia officers and a former skeen year executive at
11:09 am
the national security agency. if there is bipartisan interest in investigating this leak, somebody may be held accountable. shannon: we are two days away from the big talks between world leaders and iran. the head of the u.n. nuclear watch dog is meeting with iranian leaders in tehran. what does it mean in a nuclear showdown. ambassador john bolton is next. nature's fury up close where a tornado makes work of wind mills and tears through homes. what happened to baby lisa. her parents are saying there is a new lead in the case. today they were on set or an emotional interview to describe this new clue. andw what the last 7 months in their lives have been like. >> it's been 8 months since we have seen our daughter.
11:10 am
we want answers. we are not going away until that happens. until she comes home. megyn: do you feel like they wasted time taking such a hard look at the two of you? >> absolutely.
11:11 am
11:12 am
11:13 am
shannon: dramatic video of a tornado touching down in kansas over the weekend. you can see it ripping through that rural area, bending wind mills it also damaged several homes, ripping the roof off one of them. fortunately we are told in injuries were reported. we have new questions what in the showdown with iran over its nuclear program. the watchdog chief seen here is in tehran today in hopes of getting iran to provide more access to international inspectors. this is happening two days before a new round of talks between iran and the west. what is this development today
11:14 am
signify if anything. ambassador john bolton has spent a decade in efforts to keep nuclear weapons out of iran's hands. what do you make of this? it sounds like the timetable fear these meetings was sped up. is something going to happen in advance of wednesday? >> i believe the obama administration and our friends in europe will do everything they can to reach a quote-unquote deal during these negotiations. we can see the outlines based on allowing iran to enrich uranium up to reactor grade but foregoing enrichment beyond that point in exchange for what iran probably wants which relief from economic sanctions. i think that's a bad deal but i think the administration want it and will try to achieve it. shannon: even though they said the sanctions don't hurt us, we laugh at them, do you think they
11:15 am
have made an impact. >> i think they are having some impact though i wouldn't overstate it, versus having impacts sufficiently great to cause iran to give up its nuclear weapons program. that the sanctions are nowhere close to. if they can use some paper concessions to get a deal that alleviates the effect of the sanctions they would take it in a heart beat. shannon: you know better than most what has and hasn't happened because of the sanctions. there is worry from israel which is closer geographically to the issue than we are. an interview with benjamin netanyahu said they will be the first ones to have nuclear weapons and not play by the rules. >> the political imperative for
11:16 am
the obama administration to get a deal so they can declare victory is so high i'm worried they will lose the substance of the deal in order to get the political spin. that wereys israel as well. if we effectively legitimize iran's uranium enrichment capability, we have given away and given iran a big leg up towards nuclear capability. shannon: why would we do that. >> i think the administration believes as do many europeans is that iran can be talked out of its nuclear weapons program. i don't think iran is ever going to be negotiated out of it program. they have shown that the last 10 years. they have used these negotiations to their advantage and our disadvantage. i'm afraid that's about to happen again. shannon: the talks that will happen wednesday involve russia
11:17 am
as one of the players. there are a lot of folks who think russia is not on the u.s. side when it comes to tracking down on iran. >> while both say they don't want iran to have nuclear weapons they have prevented the sanctions from taking plates last 10 years. they have been a major source of weapons to iran. they love to sell nuclear he actors to iran. russia is not our friend on this issue. shannon: legendary u.s. battleship heading for its final mission. the u.s.s. iowa. have the food police gone too far? one high school is being fined $15,000 for forgetting to unplug a soda machine. trace gallagher has that story. don't miss it. >> it's ridiculous. it's soda pop. it's not going to kill us. it should be a choice we have.

11:20 am
11:21 am
shannon: a mississippi prison on lockdown after a deadly riot. it began at adams correctional facility in natchez. many families of guards and inmates were praying they were all right. >> they said it's some kind of riot. me and my descrairt been out here since 6:00 trying to find out something. the teargas and all. i just hope he's okay. shannon: it took tons of
11:22 am
reinforcement to get that situation under control. police blame gang activity for starting the riot. the food police are working the banned beverage beat. uncle sam slapping the school with a fine of $15,000. the crime? accidentally selling soda at a vending machine during lunch. >> reporter: this is davis high school in salt lake city. the federal law says during the lunch hour you have to turn off the soda vending machines. they turned off the machines in the cafeteria but they forgot about the vending machine in the bookstore. they were find $15,000. the principal calls the law
11:23 am
disingenuous because while they can't buy soda they can buy sports drinks and candy bars, as long as they have nuts, because nuts are healthy. >> we can sell a snickers bar, we can't sell starburst or skittles, but we can sell ice cream and the snickers bar, the milky ways, all that stuff. >> reporter: speaking of nuts, the students cannot buy soda at lunch but they are more than welcome to buy soda before lunch and drink it during lunch. the school says they will have to cut back on some of their art program and they are losing money in the cafeteria because instead of eating in the cafeteria the students are going off campus to get burgers and fries and all together now, a coke. shannon: the reasoning about the
11:24 am
different foods, i will admit i played into that. dark chocolate, joan tie oxidants, good for the heart. i consider it like taking vitamins. >> reporter: a milky way? shannon: that might be stretching it. the women's vote will play a pivot all role. -- it will play a pivotal role. that debate in five minutes. baby lisa irwin disappeared from her family home as her mother slept some 7 months ago. now her parents say there is a new lead in the case. they sat down with megyn kelly today in one of their first national interviews in months. that's 10 minutes away. megyn: do you feel they have wasted time taking such a hard look at the two of you? >> absolutely. i understand initially look at
11:25 am
us. this world is a messed up place. obviously someone came in and stole my child. i understand people like that exist. you see it on the news as well. but after about a month or so and with all the things joe just mentioned, you would think they would start looking elsewhere.
11:26 am
11:27 am
11:28 am
shannon: we are tracking developing stories including a homicide bomber in yemen killing
11:29 am
96 people and injuring hundreds more. it happened near the presidential palace during a military parade rehearsal. al qaeda in yemen calling it revenge for u.s. attacks on its followers. it's been a year since the tornado in joplin, missouri. tropical storm alberto is not expected to hit georgia or the carolina coastline. in the battle for the women's vote a former news anchor is getting attention for taking president obama to task on a campaign theme she calls con desendsing to women. she wrote, quote, the promise of his campaign four years ago has give up way to something. a failure to connect with tens
11:30 am
of millions of americans many of whom are women who feel economic opportunity is gone. obama is trying too hard. he's employing a tone that's degrading and con desend. most women don't want to be pat on the head or treated as wards of the date. marjorie is a democratic strategist. welcome. de derks what do you make of this op-ed? what do you think? >> i think campbell brown has it right. i'm so sick of this rhetoric about women having a seat at the table and being there and you can do it. president obama saying you are smarter than we are. if you have to say it it sounds like you don't think it. as far as a seat at the table why do we own the buildings that table is in. this is just wrong.
11:31 am
we are americans. what women want is jobs and a strong economy and a strong country. we don't want to be talked to like we are second class citizens. it's not right and that's where he has gone. campbell brown hit the nail on the head big time. shannon: campbell brown makes reference to this life of julia character that talks about how the government impacts a woman's life from childcare through her life. do you think that was a good strategy? campbell brown calls it silly and embarrassing. >> i think what they are speaking to are concerns everyone has when politicians are speaking. i'm always reticent when it's campaign season. we are seeing democrats and republicans campaigning hard for women. the obama campaign strategy has been one about focus on women and it's been an interesting time. there have been a lot of
11:32 am
policies tha and we have special interest groups calling for focus on policies related to women. i agree what women care about is the economy. that what's we are seeing in the polling related to women and to men. but what the obama administration is talking about in terms of the economy, the paycheck fairness act is related to economy, it's related to women because it's about giving women -- giving them legal cover for pursuing fair paychecks. >> that's different than julia. this was so insulting. why wasn't it jack? fit was jack it would have looked like he was a sleark. that's insulting for the government to help julia throughout her entire line. shannon: where is an appropriate ryan to draw in trying to appeal to this group of voters? >> i heart concern. there are a lot of women who feel like they don't like to be
11:33 am
singled out as a special interest group. and the challenge is there is a reality gap. while i would be the first one -- because do i all of my work and most my work with women to say we don't have to have this conversation about equality, we are equal. the reality is women are only 3% of ceos of companies. we are making 77 cents to the dollar. if you are an hispanic woman you are making 52 cents. shannon: there was a gender grab last time. will mitt romney be able to close that. >> romney talks about woman like americans. he doesn't make a separate but equal argument. he's respectful to his wife. he's pro economy, he's pro jobs. he's anti-d.c.
11:34 am
he's respectful to women. >> i think he will do very well with women. >> i think one of the important things obama is highlighting in terms of policies is how we need policies that cover us to allow us to improve the economy. what he talks about within the healthcare bill, not a perfect bill, but one aspect of it would give men and women -- mitt romney created jobs, 3 1/2 years of total epic failure when it comes to the economy. he's a good community organizer but he cannot do a good job with the economy, it is what it is. shannon: how much danger is there with it being viewed as to paternalistic. they are trying to address policies direct at female voters. but is there a line in seeming too paternalistic. >> how much does ought government get involved? i think there are basic
11:35 am
necessities in order to improve the economy. and for many that's healthcare coverage and access to healthcare and for many it's having that insurance coverage up to the age of 27 when a lot of our young people are employed or the paycheck fairness act, making sure women and men are being paid equally in their jobs. >> it's funny how during the anniversary -- >> i will say one other thing. i agree that i love that mitt romney is so respectful of this wife. one thing that i see as a strong suit of the bawms. president obama is a father and has two daughters. i know in my own family these are issues my father wouldn't be focused on. but because of having two daughters he's talking about women need to be in leadership. you can sight as paternalistic or giving us a boost that unfortunately we do need in the economy. i think that what the policies are focused on.
11:36 am
>> he's great dad and husband. but that's not the point. the economy is in the tang and he's responsible for it. women want a great success story like all americans. unfortunately barack obama has not been able to deliver. shannon: we thank you both for a spirited debate on this. not over yet. she saw battle in key moment in american history. one final mission for a legendary battleship. what happened to baby lisa. the little girl vanished from her family's home 7 months ago as her mother slept nearby. now a sit-down with megyn kelly. they are revealing what they say is a new clue and an answer to one key question. megyn: some of my viewers will be look aught and saying they wouldn't have taken such a hard look at you if you had been
11:37 am
honest about your drinking. >> i did tell them that. 20 year? call imperial structured settlements. the experts at imperial can convert your long-term payout into a lump sum of cash today. right? get. out. exactly! really?!

11:40 am
he would never give up on any of us. shannon: the disappearance of a 10-month-old baby for the first time in months the parent agreed to face the media. megyn kelly picks up the story from there. megyn: 7 months ago "america live" reported on the disappearance of a 10-month-old baby girl that the media would refer to as baby lisa. it attracted enormous attention in part because of a powerful news conference with her parents and because of the shock and unusual nature of the claims that someone had broken into a house and kidnapped a little baby while her family slept. at the height of the investigation hundreds of local county, state and federal law enforcement were involved in
11:41 am
searching extra -- searching a veens and a local river. i went to the irwin home and sat down with an extensive interview with lisa's parents. now the legal team says they are trying to draw attention to what they believe is a new lead in this case. her parents are giving their first national media interviews in months. they join me now. welcome all of you. thank you for being here. debra, let me start with you. it's been a few months since you and i sat down together. i want to know how you are. >> there is no words to describe what we feel and what goes through our minds every day. there is not a second of the day that it don't think about her, wonder where she is at and how she is doing and what kinds of
11:42 am
living conditions she is in and who has her and how long it will take to get her home. megyn: i think a lot of our viewers would be wondering how they could function. >> you don't have a choice. if i fall apart then i can't finally a. then i'm no good to my two boys who are home waiting for her, too. megyn: you say you believe there is a new lead in the case that relates to an attempted use your debit card about a month after lisa went missing on november 6. what did you see. at what company was your card attempted to be used? >> on november 6 my debit card was used successfully for a web site that allows you to change your name and change children's names online over the internet.
11:43 am
and from what i understand they are accepted about it united kingdom passport company. it went through and appeared to be a legitimate purpose. they charged $69 to one of my cards. and we are wondering what's going on with that when i didn't -- and we found out about it in the middle of december. and we haven't heard anything. we just keep getting the standard repeated it's been checked into, we are checking into it. but, you know, i think it's time that we get some answers from somebody. megyn: this is from the police saying we checked into this. megyn: we checked into this. first we pulled up stationery company. bedid see the name was somehow connected to a web site that
11:44 am
allows you to change your name or your baby's name. but jeremy's debit card wasn't stolen on the nightly a went missing. >> you are right. but there are so many coincidences in this case. this is another one that has to be answered. there are ways to find out who attempted to make that charge on that credit card to make it appear that -- deflect attention away from someone else, that they were trying to change their child's name. that's why the credit card company stopped it. there were thing not matching on the addresses. you can find out the ip address of the computer that attempted to do that. we don't have that power. we turned this over to the law enforcement agencies. we haven't heard thinking. could it be an empty lead? perhaps. when you take that unbelievable coincidence where we have a missing baby and there is a fraudulent charge on some web site that changes children's
11:45 am
names on the internet which is unbelievable to me that that exists. when you couple that with the 11:57 call that night, 11:57, half-hour, there is a call to megyn wright who is jersey joe's on again, off again girlfriend. someone megyn says sheen to the know debra. that's the first time that phone dialed megyn wright's number. so you say does jersey joe have something to do with it. when you have three human beings who have nothing to do with this family. month made identifications of post midnight an individual walking with a baby with just a diaper on. megyn: we spoke with the

neighbors and they maintain that's what they saw shortly after you said she went missing, that they saw a man who was balding which jersey joe was on the night in question. with a baby right around the time that she would have gone missing. but the police say they have moved on from jersey joe. >> how can you move on from something like that? we understand they have a job to do. but it's been almost 8 months since we have seen our daughter. we want answers. we want lisa. we are not going away until that happens until she comes home. megyn: do you feel like they wasted time taking such a hard look at the two of you? >> absolutely. i understand the initial look at us. this world is a messed up place. obviously someone came in and stole my child. i understand bad people exist. you see it on the news all the time as well. but after about a month or so and with all the things joe just

mentioned, you would think they would start looking elsewhere. maybe they have and i don't know about it. i talked to the fbi over the phone consistently. almost routinely. but it is frustrating when you feel like you are not getting any answers. where are they looking? what are they doing? megyn: some of my viewers will be listening to you thinking they wouldn't have taken such a hard look at you if you had been honest about your drinking at the beginning. >> i was honest. just because i didn't say it on tv doesn't mean i didn't tell the cops. megyn: did you tell them you were blacked out? >> yes, i did. >> i said i put her to bed at 6:40. i said i wasn't sure if i checked on her when i went to bed at 10:30. megyn: when you speak to the media you said maybe i didn't check on her. it was a reversal and it was a big one.
11:48 am
i understand how that looks. what people don't get. when you are faced in a room with all these cameras and it's not like it's hard to remember because you are telling a story. i'm telling the truth. but sometimes when you are talking to somebody and all these cameras are in the room you fumble over your words. it was an honest mistake. i have not lied this entire time. >> i'll jump in before do you your cross-examination. i'm tired of hearing people condemn her. she is a woman who lost her baby. for 10 seconds someone walk in those shoes and sun what she has been through. you saw that initial press conference where she couldn't even speak. she always maintains she put her to bed at 6:40. the question was did you check on her when you went to bed. she didn't wall that that at first. the point is she doesn't recall.
11:49 am
megyn: i remember this. what happened is she originally told law enforcement that she last saw the baby at 10:40. that was the time line we were dealing with according to the comes. >> that's what the comes have put out there through some folksperson. but i spoke with the fbi, i understand the time. megyn: and i spoke with your client as well. but there was no question early on that the initial report was that she had last checked on the baby at 10:40. when i sat down with her she said i don't know if i checked on her at 10:40 or not. we are getting lost in the weeds. i know my viewers cared about that point. i want to give you a chance to address it. i'm just asking what my viewers are worried about. it's not a cross-examination. >> this is why we have lost so many precious moments in this case. you have live witnesses

identifying a man calling from a cell phone, three human being seeing a baby after midnight in kansas city with just a diaper on. i think it was misguided from the beginning. >> it's all about entertainment and people will pick it apart and speculate. it's the way things are. i had no idea until this had happened and we were on tv ourselves. megyn: thank you all. shannon: part two of that incredible interview including what upset the i are wins the most set to air tomorrow at this very same time. you do not want to miss it. up next, unof america's famous battleships getting ready for its final mission. we'll tell you what's in store for the u.s.s. iowa *.
