10:04 am
smoky mountains national park. well, president obama is searching for level political ground right now after yesterday's once again weak weak jobs report. g.o.p. blasted the economic policies and the move caused the latest slowdown, according to the labor department. if you missed it, unemployment at 8.2%, this week. just 80,000 jobs created in the entire month of june and that's the third straight month of weak growth. and doug mcelway is tracking that from washington, not great news for so many people. >> that's so true, jamie, today the romney campaign is not only counting on the disappointing jobs numbers, but a couple of comments from the obama camp and appeared to inm mies the i am tactffactactf- minimized the impact. and the president called it a step in the right direction and david plouffe said it was
10:05 am
quote, what was expected. with millions of americans facing what even vice-president biden calls a depression, it's clear president obama is simply out of touch with the difficulties facing middle class families. in his weekly radio address, the president did not mention the jobs numbers and instead, folks saying on the side of the transportation, student loan bills. >> for months i've been calling on congress to save half the money we're no longer spending on war and nation building at home. and work to be done building roads and bridges and wireless networks and hundreds of thousands of construction workers ready to do it. the same thing is true for us. and the bill i'm about to sign is vital for millions of students and their families. >> and the republican response, representative ann marie burkle honed in on two key targets, and the meager jobs outlook and the president's health care law. >> the court's decision and
10:06 am
yesterday's jobs report add to the urgency of repealing the president's health care law in its entirety. next week, the house will vote to do just that. >> reporter: indeed the house vote is seen only, as virtually no chance of passage in the democratically controlled senate and even if it did, all on the senate. >> all eyes on those numbers, doug, thanks for tracking it, kelly. >> let's talk about that issue, the weak jobs report, it's front and center in the race as you can imagine for the white house, and the president seeing mostly on private sector jobs growth. with mitt romney calling the latest jobs figure, a kick in the gut for the middle class. >> their prediction was unemployment would be at 5.6% now, instead 8.2%, millions and millions of families are struggling and suffering, because of the president's
10:07 am
policies have not worked for them. >> all right, so joining me right now for a fair and balanced debate on this issue, fox news political analyst angela mcglowan and christopher and hahn, a fox news contributor. and the presidential election is just months away. how much does the weak jobs report bolster governor romney's chances to defeat president obama in november, angela? >> oh, we're doing very, very, well, kelly. it's the republican's race to lose right now. unfortunately, we're going against a liberal spin machine, a macavelian politician and we don't have our message together. now, love the fact that mitt romney said that the jobs report was like a kick in the gut to the middle class, he is that the way to do it, mitt. let's get down in the trenches and that's what we need to do, kelly, to win. >> chris, i know you have something to say about that, but let me get to angela's
10:08 am
point there. and she went on about how romney, and of course, saying this is a kick in the gut of the middle class, but some of his friends in the republican circles say he should be releasing some sort of specific plan that would let people know just how he intends to get us back to working again, as well as democrats, and they just, plus plouffe wants it assert that mitt romney is the most secretive candidate since-- >> axlerod. >> governor romney is playing keep away with the plan for the american people. he doesn't have any plans for the american people and his position is to smile and say the president is out of touch. he says the president is out of touch. and hops on his jet and goes and checks the swiss bank account. >> ooh. but that said these numbers aren't good. nobody is going to say these are the greatest you could have. but he was losing 600,000 jobs
10:09 am
a month when the president took office and created 4.4 million in the last 28 months and that's-- >> christopher, that's-- >> and it is better than losing jobs. >> president obama said after 11 trillion dollar stimulus package, that, and mitt romney said, if that's the unemployment rate would be down 5.6% and now, it's at 8.2% and the people that are hurting most here, are minorities. blacks, latinos, women and the young. >> angela, to your point, it is-- and let me get in a question here because we've got a limited amount of time. >> sure. >> jamie: then of course you have president obama who said the 80,000 jobs last month is still moving in the right direction, but he acknowledges, angela, and chris, that more work still needs to be done and that means congress has to get off its apathy as well. >> apathy. >> jamie: and move with the transportation bill. >> well, the transportation bill will be helpful, but it's not going to be the bang we
10:10 am
need. what we need is the passage of the president's jobs bill and teachers and firefighters and police officers back to work. and what we're seeing right now in this country is a contraction of public sector workers, where most of the jobs losses are coming from. >> christopher the policy-- >> the private sector adding jobs, but the manufacturing sector growing like never before. >> and if you don't recall, when nancy pelosi was speaker of the house, we did pass a 26 billion dollar bill to help with state workers, with firemen, with teachers, the whole nine yards and we still have high unemployment rate with state workers. >> angela, let me add to what you're talking about, chris, i know you're listening in. ann marie burkle of new york, we saw mcelway speak, said the president needs to stop juggling down on policies that hurt business. and what do you expect the president will do, chris, in the coming months? >> listen, i think the president needs to continue to push congress to pass this jobs bill and the president
10:11 am
needs to do everything in his power executively in the next months to create jobs, but that said i don't think a lot can be done between now and november to change the way our economy is going. i believe we will have a bad jobs report next month. yes, and the next month. >> and three months of good job report leading up to the president-- leading up to-- >> angela, quickly. >> and the stimulus packages and he said that the shovel ready programs weren't shovel ready yet and kelly, to answer your question, 28,000 construction jobs were lost last month and that's what president obama has done for us. >> kelly: thank you, and i appreciate that correction as well. >> and they actually did. and the obama administration, clearing up afghanistan and the united states newest
10:12 am
non-n.a.t.o. ally and that move making a political statement about afghanistan's future and the u.s. troops leave at the end of 2014. and secretary of state hillary clinton visiting with talks with hamid karzai. >> my message today is very simple. the transition is on track. and afghanistan is standing up for itself. of course, it will need support and we are pledged to continue our support and to work with you to get more international support. >> dominic denatale is streaming live for us. >> it's compelling how the security forces have come in in order to be i a warded this designation. and you have from the kupt that's been given it so far. and they were saying today some 25% of residential areas in afghanistan were now upped the responsibility of after gone forces and that's quite an achievement in itself.
10:13 am
when it comes to the status of most -- i'm sorry, non-n.a.t.o. ally, how pivotal for afghanistan in the next 18 month, here is what she had to say. >> this is the kind of relationship that we think will be especially beneficial as we do the transition and as we plan for the post 2014 presence, because it will open the door to afghanistan's military to have a greater capacity and a broader kind of relationship with the united states, particularly the united states military. >> reporter: and the afghans as a result of this designation, have access to surface u.s. weapons and also eligible for certain things up to this point. and of course, financing afghanistan, one of the most

was not as widespread as where a pro economy movement is fueled by resentment over perceived domination by-- >> tripoli. >> jamie: and extra pressure on president obama to get our economy moving again. what can we expect to see from the white house coming up? >> here is what else, george zimmerman is out on bail entree -- on trayvon martin and the medical report on his injuries. our legal debate. >> and just kept swinging and just, i kept yelling, help, help. he put his hand on my nose, other hand on my mouth.

10:32 am
coat, kelly, it's going to chill out when you get there. meanwhile, if you've been following the trayvon martin case, an accused shooter george zimmerman made bail. 100,000 bond. new medical records were released that reveals more about his injuries, the night trayvon martin was shot. a physician's assistant detailing how it was believed that zimmerman did not suffer head trauma as he claimed when he spoke to the police and only sought medical treatment because he needed a doctor's note for his job. what impact does it have on george zimmerman's case saying he was defending himself? here now is vicky sigler, a civil attorney and adjunct professor of law, good to see you. and joey jackson, former prosecutor criminal defense attorney, he does it all. >> how are you, jamie. >> jamie: good to see both of you. thank you. let me ask you what the medical records tell about the
10:33 am
case, i believe there's a new twist. there could always be a twist and this could be spun how many different ways, right? that's what lawyers do, we spin. but any type of evidence of injury is significant, it's significant because the defense can now argue right with clarity that listen, my client here, mr. zimmerman was in eminent fear of his life and black eye, broken nose, and in terms of the head trauma, that's more of a medical term. if you have gashes in the head we can logically conclude that they have some trauma. whether it raises to the definition of medical trauma is another story. the defense will spin it suggesting that this is why he acted in the way he did. in a fatal way because he thought he was going to die. and the prosecution of course will spin it quite differently, as we know. >> i'm going to spin it, tell me if we're right or wrong. we heard him in the video that was released by the defense, saying that my head was bashed against concrete so many times i thought i was going to die.
10:34 am
claiming trayvon had actually instituted that and done that. now you hear the physician's assistance saying we didn't need a cat scan, we didn't need this, didn't need that and he came the next day to a medical clinic after refusing treatment to get a note for his boss. have we strengthened or weakened his case. >> for the prosecution, hammering out the fact, no credibility whatsoever and made up the serious injuries and didn't have such strong injuries that he would be in imminent fear of bodily injury that's what the prosecution is going to argue. i think it's going to be the medical experts are going to be battling, because obviously, george zimmerman was stating what he thought he felt and what actually trayvon martin did. really, is that accurate or not? so that's going to happen. and i think the medical challenges that are arising really are supporting basically the defense's claim
10:35 am
that he was in bodily fear that he was harmed. however, because he didn't get additional treatment when the event happened, that could hurt him. i guess there's arguments on both sides. >> it's interesting that you bring that up, where he sought treatment, when he sought treatment and what treatment was recommended. that's somebody's subjective vision, let me throw this at you, joey, it seems to me if he's claiming he had massive injuries and doctors doesn't agree. he may have to take the stand and explain himself. >> you know what, jamie, he almost has to do that. in the normal course of event we talk, should the defendant testify and if they do, does it strengthen on weaken? essentially there are two witnesses and we know there are others who with state, but he'll explain why he felt it necessary and appropriate to use physical force. i believe whether it's immunity hearing before the
10:36 am
trial he can hit a grand slam in the immunity hearing, but at trial itself. he not only has to explain his medical condition, but why he took the action he did. >> sure, state of mind. vicky, this is what fascinates me about the case completely. i'm a lawyer in one places i'm a lawyer in florida, the stand your ground law, that allows this judge to actually hear this case before it ever gets to a jury and tell everyone what decisions that the judge gets to make. >> the judge actually gets to make in this matter whether or not this case even will go forward on the criminal side and civil side. if there's an immunity gearing which we ultimately believe there will be, there he a no reason why there wouldn't be, this judge could ultimately slow out the case and george zimmerman would not be prosecuted by a jury and that's huge. really, we're shocked here in new york because you know, we're not used to that so i think, as the judge has a great deal of power in this
10:37 am
case and the world is watching, so, for us, the stand your law ground, we hope it's not vigilanteism, whether or not george zimmerman had the right to use self-defense and the judge making the ultimate decision not the jury. >> jamie: and let me put up this point last, kelly and i were talking about it during the break, the judge is not happy with george zimmerman and his wife, even have lied under oath in court, the judge. >> it's amazing, jamie, and you know, really, if you read the decision, he really exscore yated-- talked about how he manipulated the system and flaunted the system and here is why it's so significant. this judge essentially said that mr. zimmerman has zero credibility. he would be testifying before that judge when the judge makes the decision as to immunity, mr. zimmerman and if the judge already stated that the credibility is lost, then the attorney has a decision to
10:38 am
make. does ehave the immunity hearings knowing how the judge feels about his client and if he does have it, does it telegraph the evidence that he has, that the defense has and the prosecution at trial, once is denied crushes him. >> joey, you're so right. the legal team is going to be thinking long and hard about this, what the next move is going to be. >> jamie: i'm not on that legal team, i would be so furious that the prosecutor offered a plea deal and whether or not they recommend that zimmerman take it. we'll follow this one. take care. >> you, too. >> kelly: good stuff. jamie. the dismal june jobs report is not good, but pressure on the president to do more to boost the economy. and what more can be done? we are going to take a closer look next, a sign of the times for one cash strapped city. the legal fallout in the largest bankruptcy of its kind for a u.s. city. . >> this is the beginning of what could be a very complicated case. by and large, he decided that

federal reserve to jump start the stalling economy and happened after the labor department reported it stuck at 8.2% with just 80,000 jobs created last month. and so what more can be done to turn things around? that's the big question that everyone is asking, republican critics, for example, to let the private sector take the lead. >> the american people know what has to be done. get washington out of the way. empower the individuals and small businesses, let them flourish, but the president refuses to change course, he's doubling down on policies, that are holding us back and making things worse. >> and then, joining us right now the founder and managing partner of cargill investments. he has a whole different look at this, mickey, thank you for joining us. the president says it shows that the economy is moving in the right direction, the bottom line, is this good news or bad news? how should americans perceive this? >> well, i think it's really
10:44 am
neither, kelly. when we look at the numbers, now, you want to see a bad economy, all we have to do is look back at 2008 and 2009. our economy is good an environment today, is strong, but there's nothing political about that. and you know, i hate seeing these politicians trying to take credit for job growth. they have nothing to do with job growth. capitalism will flourish if we can get a few things out of the way, government stepping aside. and for instance, not having an ever changing tax policy. for every year, we're here at mid year and at the end of the year, not knowing what taxes are for the next year. >> so, you're saying, politics, politicians get out of the way and let the economy do what it has to do naturally, in order to boost the jobs and getting corporate america back on the right track? >> well, there are things that they can do. you know, there are certain, capitalism will flourish, but there are certain things that government has to do to help us and to help capitalism kind

obese, those patients have to heart disease, less complications or less chance of death or chance of getting one of these pumps, left ventricular device. >> jamie: why? >> they don't make it clear. the theory behind it maybe they have more of the fatty tissue that can be fuel reserves and the heart can go on longer, maybe more muscle around the heart to pump longer and one other theory is that maybe the doctors more attentive to obese patients and having real heart failure and jump in compared to normal. and at this point these are theories. >> jamie: that's fascinating. >> it is. it doesn't tell us, hey, go out there and gain weight. that's not the point of this. the point is the research behind the findings are always going to help us in finding the underlying disease and is it inflammation that causes the heart disease and trying bring this altogether. and my message is, they're
