[laughter] jenna: almost friday? jon: friday tomorrow. jenna: i was guessing. jon: thank you for joining us today. jenna: "america live" starts right now. megyn: fox news alert, two big polls that show three growing challenges for the president's re-election team. welcome to "america live," everyone, i'm megyn kelly, a thursday here at fox means that's payday. we are getting new analysis from the big polls released this week, first from a washington post/abc news poll. we are now learning that the president is slipping with independent voters. the abc politics blog calling it a, quote, clear and independent danger. add to that a new quinnipiac poll shows just 34% of independents approve of the president's handling of the economy. both polls reveal that president obama's approval rating among blue collar white males has now sunk to another historic low. chris stirewalt is our fox news

digital politics editor and host of "power play" on foxnews.com live. blue collar white men not backing this president is not a surprise, but the independents, that's what the battle is all about, who's going to win them, and he's showing slippage there, chris. >> well, he's showing slippage and strain. for the president he had a pitch that said that he could rescue the economy. he's tried to move the goalpost, he's talked about the challenges, he's blamed the republican, done all these other things, but when you're talking about moderate independents particularly, these are practical people, pragmatic voters. they're not ideological, they're results oriented, and if they don't think that barack obama's getting the job done, they don't feel the ties of connection to party and other things, and they're willing more than anybody else to take a chance on another kind of candidate. megyn: he is winning with -- the president tends to be winning

with single folks, young folks, he's winning with black voters, but more and more we're seeing romney support with catholics, with married people, and then they're showing according to this abc news pom, chris, that the president's margin among groups like blacks and hispanics in particular is shrinking a little bit. hispanics? now he has a 29% advantage over mitt romney, but it was at 40 in april. how on earth did his support go down in the wake of his june announcement of the more relaxed immigration policies? >> hispanic voters are not monolithic, and as a matter of fact, in that same quinnipiac poll when they talked about is the president's 2010 health law a tax, does it constitute a tax hike, 60% of hispanics said, yes. so the idea that somehow immigration is a panacea for political problems with hispanics is not accurate. but let me put the flip on this, if i may, is that when we talk about romney only polling at 30%

or so with hispanic voters, when we look and you mentioned earlier the problem with white working class men, no college education, white voters without college degrees in general, the president's crisis here -- this is a crisis number, a historically low number for democrats, you have to go back to walter mondale to find a performance this bad -- it's the same as the way romney is with hispanics. the president -- if the president gets skunked, he ends up with more than 100 electoral votes in rust belt, i-70 corridor states that have such large populations of these voters. and if they are so sharply against him, he can't make it over the finish line. megyn: why is that voting bloc so heavily against him, the noncollege white men, you know, white men who haven't gone to college, why are they so heavily against him? you know, the president has been accused, and we're going to talk about this later because he's

accused of it again, of engaging in language that his critics call class warfare, you know, demonizing the rich, i'm the guy who's going to protect the middle class and the blue collar workers, and these blue collar -- at least the white blue collar workers seem to be saying no to that, they seem to be rejecting that. why? >> the president never move today the middle after his midterm shellacking. he did not go back to try to coalesce his party and wring those clinton or reagan democrats back into the fold. here instead the president has gone out to try to get his numbers in those other groups, these democratic, liberal-base groups that you described, he's been trying to pump those numbers back up to where they were in 2008. and as he's done that, he has alienated these very same heartland voters who should be open to a democratic argument, and that's why the president is so deeply committed to such an intensely negative character attack on mitt romney. megyn: chris stirewalt, thank

you, sir. well, after hitting the campaign trail yesterday, the president is at the white house today. he sent vice president joe biden to speak in his place at the naacp convention happening down in houston, a day after mitt romney spoke to the same group. he was booed a few times by the crowd for challenging the president on his health care overhaul. mr. biden offered a fired-up defense of the law. >> he cut, he cut $100 billion, $100 billion from the federal debt over the next ten years. providing access, affordable health care to 30 million americans, eight million black americans who would never have had insurance! [cheers and applause] this is a man, this is a president who has the character of his convictions. megyn: well, that was a very different message and very

different reaction from what happened yesterday, as i mentioned. here's governor romney addressing the crowd about 24 hours ago. >> if our goal is jobs, we have to stop spending over a trillion dollars more than we take in every year. [applause] and so, and so to do that i'm going to eliminate every nonessential, expensive program i can find. that includes obamacare, and i'm going to work to reform -- >> boo! megyn: awkward? [laughter] he did get a standing ovation at the end of his remarks, but some pundits are suggesting those boos may have been exactly what governor romney was counting on. so was this really a political calculation, or was it simply a case of being politically honest and having an honest reaction? we'll talk about whether this was a smart move for mitt romney

just ahead. we have new developments today in the high stakes showdown between the united states and iran over a suspected nuclear program in the islamic state. the navy, the u.s. navy is now sending new assets to the straits of hormuz, a critical part of the persian gulf. this is a stretch of ocean where some 20% of the oil travels each day. iran has threatened to block the waterway, and now the u.s. navy is sending dozens of unmanned seafox mini subs into the persian gulf. their mission? to take out the kind of floating mines iran has used in this area in the past. later on we'll be joined by fox news military analyst general jack keane on what we're doing here and the message america is sending to tehran as the standoff over iran's nuclear ambitions and a possible military conflict continue to loom over the middle east. another alert coming in, big developments today as we're

taking a very close look at a major new document dump in the george zimmerman/trayvon martin murder investigation. the prosecution revealing today some critical, unseen evidence, key witness interviews and a first look at what fbi agents determined when it comes to a possible hate crimes charge against mr. zimmerman. keep in mind trayvon martin's family believes his race had something to do with this murder. trace gallagher live in our west coast newsroom with more. >> reporter: 280 pages, megyn, and a lot of this we have seen and heard before, but make no mistake, there are some big takeaways here that will be used as fuel for both sides when this goes to trial. the fbi interviewed a number of former or current sanford police investigators including the lead investigator in this case. this is important, because remember, chris sor reno is the one a month before george zimmerman was actually charged

with second-degree murder who recommended he should be charged saying, and i'm quoting here: just the act of following him was the instigation and nothing else. but sorina went on to tell the fbi that he said, quote, zimmerman's actions were not based on martin's skill color, rather or based on his attire. the total circumstances of the encounter and the previous burglary suspects in the community. remember, there had been a rash of burglaries in that area. going on to say local gangs referred to the community as goons were typically dressed in black and wore hoodies. he ended by saying that george zimmerman was, quoting again, overzealous and having a little hero complex but not as a racist. now, the fbi also spoke to many of george zimmerman's former coworkers, all of them saying they saw no indications that he was racist. even his former girlfriend, who accused imin court papers of being violent, or hitting her

several times, went on to say that he was not a racist, and her quote is this: that she observed zimmerman as he socialized and played basketball with white, black and hispanic men. zimmerman never exhibited any biases or prejudices against anyone and did not use racial epithets of any kind. now, there was a quote on george zimmerman's myspace page after he moved from virginia to florida where he wrote and, again, i'm quoting: i don't mind driving around scared to hit mexicans walking on the side of the street. soft ass, wannabe thugs messing with people's cars when they ain't around. keep in mind, george zimmerman is half hispanic. so as you look at these 280 pages, megyn, this is a racially-charged case, but there sunt seem to be a common theme of racism when it comes to george zimmerman, including to the cops and the people who knew him best. megyn: very, very interesting. trace, thank you. and we're going to have much

more on that in today's kelly's court and more on the new evidence we have just become privy to. we are also learthat the int looking into the fort hood massacre that left 13 people dead is supposed to land on the desk of the director of the fbi today. but we may not see this report for weeks. why one lawmaker believes that the administration here may be trying to stonewall until after the election. we'll have a live report. and former fbi director louis freeh has wrapped up his long-term, in-depth investigation into who knew what about a former football coach sexually abusing young children at penn state. and the conclusion is in's scape bl. the university officials concealed the sexual abuse, the rapes of little children to avoid bad publicity. what does this mean for the school, for the victims and for the possibility that more people could be facing criminal charges, right after the break.

>> taking into account the available witness statements and evidence, it is more reasonable to conclude that in order to avoid the consequences of bad publicity, the most powerful leaders at penn state university -- mr.s spannier, paterno, schultz and curley, repeatedly concealed facts from the authorities, the board of trustees, the penn state community and the public at large. ushing my kids in a stroller when i had my heart event. and i've been on a bayer aspirin regimen ever since.

megyn: well, they were more worried about the reputation of their storied school than the countless lives destroyed by a child predator. a scathing new report finds penn state officials and the late iconic football coach, joe paterno, knew for more than a decade -- as far back as 1998 -- the unspeakable things jerry sandusky was doing to young,

defenseless boys or at least had good reason to know but chose not to intervene lest the school be subjected to bad publicity. david lee miller live from are our newsroom with the details on this report just released today. david lee? >> reporter: megyn, the 276-page report condemns school officials including former coach joe paterno for concealing critical facts about jerry san sandusky's child abuse. the investigation led by louis freeh says officials covered up the scandal because they feared bad publy listy. investigators pored other more than three million documents, identified as exhibit 2i, handwritten notes kept by gary schultz. when sandusky was investigated in 199 l, schultz wrote, and i quote: is this opening a pandora's box? other children? according to the report, joe paterno knew about that incident

but did nothing. the evidence shows that mr. paterno was made aware of the 1998 investigate of sandusky, followed it closely, but failed to take any action even though sandusky had been a key member of his coaching staff for about 30 years and had an office just steps away from mr. paterno. >> reporter: laettner 2001 after paterno was told that san sandusky was spotted sexually abusing a young boy, the athlete you can director was planning on reporting that incident to authorities but apparently changed his mind. why? apparently, he spoke with joe paterno. tim curley wrote, and i quote: >> reporter: the paterno family in response to this report issued a statement a short time ago. it said in part:

>> reporter: and on a positive note, the man in charge of the investigation says he believes changes at penn state in the wake of the scandal should make parents comfortable sending their children to the school, but everyone has a responsibility to blow the whistle when they see wrongdoing. megyn? megyn: david lee miller, thank you. for more now on the fallout from this scathing report, we're joined by tom klein, the attorney for one of jerry sandusky's victims and matthew manginoa former pennsylvania district attorney. gentlemen, thank you both so much for being here. >> sure. megyn: i mean, it's just so disturbing when you hear louis freeh who is, you know, above reproach on this point the finger directly at these penn state university officials and say they did it, they covered it up, and they did it because they wanted to, a, be humane to sandusky and, b, prevent bad

publicity for their school. tom, your thoughts on where this leaves us now? >> i was in the press conference room today, i heard mr. freeh and his conclusion that the conduct was reckless and callous disregard of the victims. my young man followed the four men who were in charge here, curley, schultz, spannier and paterno, by just six months when he was molested. and the words that came out of from freeh's mouth were literally chilling. a monoutal and close call failure at penn state at the highest level. megyn: i mean, you've got, you know, senior coaching staff, senior, senior, i mean, the most senior -- paterno and then the university president, exchanging e-mails about an allegation of child rape, and they have spannier, the university president, talking about the downside for the university, that it could become vulnerable for not having reported it. but the humane thing to do is not to, mike.

i mean, is this guy, spannier, likely to face criminal charges? >> well, i mean -- megyn: sorry, that's for mike. matthew. >> go ahead, matthew. >> yeah, it's certainly a possibility, you know, that curley and schultz are facing, you know, charges in this particular case. but this report is scathing, that these people, the very leadership of the university let sandusky have unfettered access to predators. you know, unrestricted, unsupervised access to the facilities and to the football program knowing that he was a predator. it's really hard to fathom. megyn: that he retired in 1999 with a retirement package that included credentials to come back on campus, ongoing access to the school. they knew he was affiliated with this second mile charity, and they knew about at least one prior incident with boys. and sure enough in 2001 another incident was reported. how high does this go in terms of liability now? does penn state get in trouble

civilly or otherwise because of the actions of these coaches? >> well, the freeh report is a road map, a resource manual and a guidebook to not only the civil litigation that is, of course, going to begin very shortly including a claim that i intend to file on behalf of a young man who was the direct victim of this misconduct, but it also is a road map to the now-future investigations by the department of justice, by the ag's office, the ncaa and the department of education. penn state is hardly finished with this. the most staggering thing that comes out of today is that in 1998 and again in 2001 these four men who mr. freeh described as running the university knew and consciously, deliberately and collectively made a decision not to report it to authorities. my word, that conduct is, indeed, as mr. freeh said, beyond the pale.

megyn: i want to talk to you about the paterno family reaction, suggesting it was just a matter of misunderstanding and misinterpreting the actions of this, of sandusky, as now reported by several people, and we'll get to that in a minute right after this break if you gentlemen will stand by. we'll get to that next.

megyn: rejoined now by tom kline, the attorney for one of jerry san sandusky's victims, ad matthew man jgino. the report talks about how when one of the incidents wassed to these coaches, they sat down and came ip with a proposed plan including reporting the incident to the attorney, this is the 2001 shower incident. they decided they were going to go report it to the authorities. then the report by louis freeh says then mr. curley consulted

with joe paterno, the storied, famed coach, much beloved, and they changed the plan. they decided not to make the report to the authorities. he says they not only failed to protect that child victim from 2001, but they created a dangerous situation for other unknown, unsuspecting, young boys who sandusky lured to that campus. this isn't -- people got so upset when people attacked joe paterno. louis freeh says he is responsible, he is responsible along with these other men, is he not? >> well, there's no question that that's a very damaging part of the report, and it's very unfortunate because it did enable a predator to continue to prey on young children. mr. freeh also said that he wished he had an opportunity to interview coach paterno which he did not. but they clearly say in the report there was no concern for the victims, no empathy in the leadership, including coach paterno, let this predator have

unfettered access to the university knowing that he had preyed on young children in the past. megyn: they knew! >> that's extremely unfortunate and damaging. megyn: there were two incidents that they were aware of, they had the guy retire, they gave him an all-access pass back to the campus, and he's bringing young boys! i mean, it boggles the mind, tom kline, but the family of joe paterno comes out and says, look, to suggest he knowingly would have allowed child rape to go on, no sane human being would condone that. it was a question of not understanding what was actually going on. >> well, i have sympathy for the paterno family in the sense that they are, you know, looking at this finding, and they know e that they've just buried someone who they loved very much. but the fact of the matter is that the evidence is overwhelming that joe paterno did not do the right thing here. it's a sad and difficult conclusion for many of those who loved and revered the coach to

come to, but that's the fact of the matter. the fact of the matter is that in february of 2001, putting aside 1998, in february of 2001 he knew, and mr. curley turned around and changed his plan to go to dpw, quote, after talking to mr. paterno. there's documentary evidence in the e-mail exchanges. and then six months later, six months later -- put aside the penn state community or the family of mr. paterno -- six months later a young man who i represent who has deep motional scars for the rest of his life was assaulted by mr. sandusky in the same shower just six months mr. paterno knew about this. there has to be a day of reckoning on these kinds of things. and the thing that's caught america's attention on this whole matter is how sordid it is and just how mistaken and misguided and how so far off the moral compass of leadership of a

major american university could be. that's, i think, what we're all focusing on today as americans. megyn: tom kline, matthew mangino, thank you both so much. >> my pleasure. megyn: this is from freeh. in order to avoid the consequences o publicity, the most powerful leaders at penn state repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to sandusky's child abuse from the authorities and everyone. although concerned to treat the child abuser humanely was expressly stated, no such sentiments were ever expressed by them for sandusky's victims. moving on. governor mitt romney, he spoke to the naacp convention yesterday in houston, we told you about it earlier. well, there were a couple of awkward moments when the crowd booed him. but was that what the republican candidate was counting on when he went there? right after the break see who's

suggesting that and why. plus, new detail on a bernie madoff-type swindler who was said to have killed himself right after the feds started to ask questions about his alleged scam. today new ed that he may have been well and still enjoying other people's money. and our limb pick athletes are the cream of the american crop, so why are they dressed up in some made in china sports sportswear? ♪ are you receiving a payout from a legal settlement or annuity over 10 or even 20 years? call imperial structured settlements. the experts at imperial can convert your long-term payout into a lump sum of cash today.

megyn: new reaction to governor romney's speech to the naacp convention, getting cheers and jeers as he made a major pitch to one of the president's most loyal constituencies yesterday. while speaking to the traditionally democratic voting bloc, governor romney stuck to his campaign promise to repeal the president's health care law. which was one of the moments that did not go over so well with the crowd. >> if our goal is jobs, we have to stop spending over a trillion dollars more than we take in every year. [applause] and so, and so to do that i'm going to eliminate every nonessential, expensive program i can find. that includes obamacare, and i'm going to work to reform and

save -- >> boo! megyn: well, romney later came on fox news and told our own neil cavuto that his message has not and will not change. >> oh, i think we expected that, of course, but, you know, i'm going to give the same message to the naacp that i give across the country, which is that obamacare is killing jobs, and if jobs is the priority, then we're going to have to replace obamacare with something that actually holds down health care costs as opposed to causing more spending for the government and more spending for american families. megyn: so was this a calculated move, and could this be good for mitt romney? joining me now, simon rosenberg, president and founder of the think tank, ndn, and mark neaten, who's a fellow at the american enterprise institute. hi, guys, welcome back.

the theory is, depends on who you ask, mitt romney wanted to get booed so he would look tough, like he's an honest messenger, and then you have got others on the right saying he didn't want to get booed, and by the way, he got a standing ovation. let's just start with nancy pelosi's theory ont. >> well, i think it was a calculated move on his part to get booed at the naacp convention. megyn: but then she doesn't go on to really explain why, simon. do you agree with her? >> i don't know, you know, honestly. i want to give mitt romney some credit for reaching out to the naacp. i don't think it was an easy event for him, and, you know, i think as we were discussing there were some awkward, difficult moments. getting booed in politics is never good -- megyn: it is awkward, isn't it? awkward to watch. >> look, i think it reinforced one basic truth which is the republican party has grown very distant from people of color in the united states. the people of color will be the majority in this country in a

generation, and it's something the republicans are going to have to structurally fix in the 21st century. megyn: it wasn't like mitt romney took to the lectern, and they were like, boo, mitt romney, republican! they were booing when he said things about policies they like, like obamacare. >> that's exactly right. he was applauded, actually, 15 times and only booed a couple times. look, i think nancy pelosi's comment is patently silly. they used to criticize president bush for not going, and now mitt romney does go. they treat him terribly and boo him after inviting them into their house. i think the speech did him a lot of good. i think it sent a message to independent voters that he is willing to reach across the aisle and engage groups that disagree with him and he wants to be the president of all americans even if they're not going to vote for him. i think he did a lot of good with conservatives by not pandering, but delivering the same message to the naacp that he does anywhere else. and i think the really

interesting question is not why did mitt romney go to the naacp, but why did barack obama not go to the naacp? he hasn't been there since 2009. and maybe he didn't want to answer the question, you know, why is the african-american unemployment rate 14.4%, double the national rate? why he didn't want to explain his opposition to school choice which is keeping african-american kids trapped in failing schools. and i bet you for sure he didn't want to explain his newfound support for gay marriage, because if he had, then we'd be discussing why barack obama was booed instead of why mitt romney was. megyn: well, we're going to talk with an african-american reverend who has an issue with that later in the program, and talk to him about his thoughts on the president not showing up. but this particular segment's focused on mitt romney and his, you know, was he antagonizeing simon because he says, look, this is my speech. i'm going to repeal obamacare. everybody's heard him say it.

so do you think there's any merit to the notion that whether he calculated it or not, it was a good thing for him to stand up, look the folks straight in the eye and say this is what i'm going to do. i know you like it, but i don't. >> look, as i said earlier, i think it was a smart move for him to do this. he also spoke in front of some latino organizations. but while it looks like he's attempting to bridge the gap, i don't think he actually did bridge the gap. i mean, i think that's, i think the optics are good, but the reality i don't think he's going to gain very much with african-american voters or latinos. in the many ways the awkwardness reinforces the distance that mitt romney and the republican party has with this important part of the american community. so i think it was a good try. i don't think he netted very much, and i just want to say barack obama spoke via video today, joe biden was there yesterday, the obama team has been there in great numbers. he did speak to all the things

that marc talked about, so i think it's unfair to say he didn't show up. he took questions afterwards today, so he was very visible and present. megyn: well, he was visible, but he wasn't present. that's not technically -- >> he's as present as we are in television. megyn: i'm not present in somebody's home right now, nor are you. [laughter] but nor is your point, marc, accurate that the audience was terrible to him. as i mentioned, the guy got a standing ovation at the end, and here is a little bit of that. listen for the organ with. >> thank you so much, and god bless every one of you. thank you. [applause] ♪ [laughter] megyn: first of all, does anyone have any thoughts on the organ, is there, like, why? [laughter] i'm looking for like a casket, it sounds like a funeral parlor music, although they don't really play music at funerals,

do they? anyway, i'm rambling. but, marc, you know, why are they giving him a standing o if he's so offensive. i like obamacare but, you know what? the guy showed up, and good for him? >> well, i think that, look, he was interrupted by applause 15 times during the speech, and, look, he addressed all the issues that, quite frankly, joe biden didn't address in his speech today. joe biden was talking about eric holder and suggesting republicans wanted to take away the right to vote. mitt romney got interrupted by applause when he talked about his plan to get african-american kids out of failing public schools through charter schools. he talked about how the system of free enterprise, and it was applauded then, how free enterprise is the solution for communities stuck in violence and despair. so he addressedded all of these issues. and simon's right, you know, one speech is not going to bridge the gap, but it was a good step, and he's not going to convince african-americans to vote against the first african-american president, at least not most of them, but he sent a strong signal that he

intends to be the president of all americans, and that was worth doing. meg yeah. we'll see. there is an african-american reverend, as i said, coming on later who has real issues with the gay marriage thing, and some folks are talking about romney possibly choosing condi rice as a vice presidential nominee, and that changes things as well. guys, thank you both so well. >> thanks, megyn. megyn: kind of like wedding music, right? like sort of in vegas. ♪ okay. anyway, coming up we've got a dramatic new twist today in america's showdown with iran. why is the u.s. navy sending some small weapons to the persian gulf that pack a very big punch? general jack keane joins us in moments on his thoughts, with his thoughts. plus, new detail on a madoff-type swindler -- remember we'reny madoff -- who supposedly killed himself just as the feds started asking questions. today new evidence that this guy may be alive and well and still

megyn: new federal charges against a fugitive banker who may be hiding out now south of the border. 46-year-old aubrey price is missing after allegedly stealing $21 million from the montgomery bank and trust. could be more than that. a bank that he was running before he allegedly took the money. after he disappeared in june, price wrote letters to his relatives saying he was despondent and wanted to end his life, jumping aboard a ferry and jumping off in the middle of nowhere. but the fbi thinks mr. price is very much alive and well and may be hiding out in venezuela or guatemala. my next guest, bill daley, is senior vice president of control

risks security consultant, welcome back. >> good to be here. megyn: so old aubrey confess today running a ponzi scheme like bernie may dow. he just used your proceeds to pay somebody else off until the scheme collapses, and that's apparently the position he found himself. >> and much like madoff, they wanted to transfer money and put it out into other investments, and lo and behold, he's not available, can't get in touch with them, where's the money, and house of cards starts to collapse. he actually moves his family -- which planning stages for several months from florida down to georgia. it's around where his wife's parents' live. he's going to take a ferry from -- megyn: he writes a letter to his family saying i'm going to take a ferry trip from key west to fort myers, board a ferry headed to fort myers, florida, and i plan to jump off somewhere along

the way and end my life. >> this gives me a little suspicion, maybe too old in this business to take things for the face value of it. so he writes this letter. of course, he's admitting to things, then he goes to the trouble of going to a ferry, buying a ticket, buying dive weights and all of a sudden apparently disappearing. to me, there's a little bit too much more to the story like where is the rest of the money? megyn: not just where's the money, where's the body? >> well, it could be anywhere, you might think, you know, from key west to fort myers. i think he's alive and well and living off some accounts he has squirreled away somewhere. megyn: how much money is gone, and how much have they, you know, is there reason to believe he's got half of this 40 million, and he's down in venezuela spending it? >> well, here's the interesting point. the company he was associated with purchased this montgomery bank and trust company back in 2010. and at that point he started access to their funds. now, why internal controls fell

apart is yet to be seen, how he got access to this money. moved it over into other brokerage accounts and allegedly set up in the ponzi f type scheme. before 2009 he was collecting for about 115 individuals $40 million in this kind of investment fund. so there's a lot of millions of dollars out there yet unaccounted for, and what was he doing with it? traveling to central america, i say he knew what he was going to be doing somewhere down the road and had plans in order to facilitate his lifestyle after his, quote, death. megyn: want to show the viewers, this is full screen number two where he talk abouts about his depression. i'm emotionally overwhelmed and incapable of continuing in this life. this is the purported, you know, suicide note and confession to his crimes. how does the fbi go about finding out whether he is alive? well, i mean, part of this is not just follow the money, follow the credit card trail.

apparently, he did make sure he had a credit card trial because he bought these diving weights and the ferry ticket -- megyn: matches up against his notes. >> poof, i'm gone. so they need to go back and look and say what was he doing when he was traveling to guatemala and venezuela where he, appantly, had some real estate holdings. what accounts he may have had down there. megyn: i see. start sniffing around to the contacts he had, and someone eventually's going to say i know old aubrey. >> and the fbi can use the local police -- megyn: do we grease hands down there to try to get this done? >> with we use our goodwill and charm.

megyn: a fox news alert on a dramatic new twist on america's growing showdown with iran. there are reports out today of a major military move in the persian gulf. the u.s. navy sending dozens of special unmanned subbed into the region to stop iran from taking any action to close the strait of hormuz. one of the most important oil choke points in the world. 1/5 of the world's oil supply passes through that body of water. if iran blocks that route it could potentially send the cost of oil through the roof.

the sub is designed to take out floating mines which iran has used in the past. it carries an underwater tv, sonar and explosives. what's going on here? joining me the general chief of staff for the army. >> this is the toughest neighborhood in the world for naval command. he knows what the iranian's capability are and what they would likely do. an has to make sure he's got the mechanism to defeat all of it. one of the things they would do and is a low cost, low-risk strategy on their part is to put mines into the straits of hormuz. what the general has to do is make sure he has capability in place to deal with that before it gets out of hand and tankers are sunk and we have the place blocked up and tied up.

these submersibles are part of that strategy. he has counter mine ships and fighter aircraft he brought into the area. what he's trying to do is he wants the iranians to see this and he wants them to know full well the united states military takes this threat serious and they intend to beat it. if you come out and start doing this, you will be at war with the united states. at the end of the day iran does not want to be at war with the united states because we have the only military capability that can force a regime change. megyn: the reports out today are that we are rushing dozens of these unmanned underwatercraft to the persian gulf. why the hurry, why now? >> i think there are a couple things happening. the iranians have a growing frustration with the economic sanctions. they are providing economic

setbacks for them and they are frustrated by that. i would imagine inside the iranian military we are picking up some signals about some people who have advocacy for taking some kind of action. so that's one thing. the other thing that's operating is the israelis have watching what's going on with the diplomatic talks and the impact of the sanctions. what is the likelihood the iranians will voluntarily give up the program. in the back of everyone's mind is the israelis are probably running out of patience. i think they remain convinced at the iranians would not give up the nuclear capability just because of to economic setback. megyn: what happens now between the sea fox submersibles and iranian mines? is it a showdown or do we take out these mines prior to any attempts about it iranians to use them. >> if the iranians put mines in

the straits of hormuz, that's an act of war and we would absolutely get on it quickly as soon as we detected it. these sea fox submersibles have the capability to detect and destroy. we would be all over it quite frankly. we got surveillance watching iranian base and observing what they are doing from the imaging capability. but the iranians will know that we would not destroy the mines, we would destroy the bases from which those mines are coming from. the iranians understand that. there will be a high price to pay if they are going to put those mines in the straits of hormuz and try to disrupt oil production and oil is tribiewtion in terms of the world economy. megyn: does this suggest we the american government knows something the american people don't know about how things are going with respect to these nuclear negotiations? might they believe military conflict is more imminent with

respect to israel and its plans or iran and its plans? >> well, i don't doubt for a minute that we have some pretty good intelligence on what iranians are thinking in terms of what they are doing with military capability and the signals we can pick up from that. we have very good intelligence system out there and when they focus on collection like they are focused here they are going to get some information. and certainly they are not going to share that with the american public at large and reveal to the iranians what we have. i can't say for certain if military activity on the part of the iranians imminent. my thought is they are flag it but at the end of the day they are not going to risk war with the united states in my view. megyn: for the reasons you stated which are always interesting.

general jack keane, always a pleasure, sir. as we are beefing up our presence in the persian gulf here is what the iranian navy looks like. it included 18,000 people including marines. they have 74 combat ships along with 30 subject a reasons. the u.s. navy estimates there are patrol boats in and around the strait of hormuz. more questions about the attorney general of the united states and whether he could end up losing his law license after the d.c. bar association received a complaint against mr. holder for alleged ethics violations. he's already been held in contempt of congress for refusal to turn over subpoenaed document. >> reporter: by refusing to comply with the subpoena from congress is the attorney general

obstructing justice and is that a violation of bar code ethics. a formal complaint was filed with the bar association alleging that he violated the lawyer's code of ethics by quote engage in conduct that was dishonest and interferes with the administration of justice. >> it's true that things come to the bar panel that have a political aspect to them. as an investigator you go to where the evidence threeds. >> it's something that should be studied about it bar association. it doesn't have to be a criminal conviction. just the allegation of the attorney general doing these things is problematic. >> reporter: holder is not alone. former president bill clinton lost his license for five years.

the supreme court said he lied about the lewinsky affair. president nixon got disbarred for obstructing justice in what for gate. spiro agnew lost his license. as did f. lee bailey, o.j. simpson's attorney for mishandling client money. holder says these claims can only be described as frivolous. the bottom line is the bar screening committee will evaluate the complaint and have a wait and see the tude to see what happens in court before dismissing this or moving forward with a full investigation. megyn: thank you so much. in recent days we have been covering the story of how three california cities have had to approve bankruptcy proceedings because they could not pay their bills. yesterday this broadcast hosted a debate on the pension

liability that has spread across cities and towns. today we are learning about more than two dozen cities in particular that could be in trouble in the very near future. peter barnes has that story live from d.c. >> reporter: there are many more struggling communities out there burdened with big expenses and employee pension obligations and possibly facing bankruptcy. one way to spot them is through their bond ratings. take a look at this map we put together. there are four cities that have junk bond ratings from two of the three major debt ratings companies. detroit is the biggest followed by littlefield, texas and two cities in rhode island. then there are 22 localities with a junk bond rating from at least one of the ratings firms. >> what they did primarily in the first year or two was to cut

the low-hanging fruit. to the extent they could raise fees, charges that would provide additional support they did so. the economy provided a little bit of relief but not a lot. so as the slow economic growth has continued on, they have not been able to grow their way out of the problems here. >> reporter: his firm is a big muni bond investor. he says that 10 cities he's following right now have less than 30 days of cash in the bank. megyn: thank you, sir. new evidence in the trayvon martin murder case. the prosecution releasing critical new documents in their case against george zimmerman including an fbi report on whether race did play a role in this shooting.

naacp's convention coming together today and every day to bend the arc of the moral universe towards justice. megyn: that was a video played at the naacp convention in houston, texas. they said the president could not make it because of scheduling issues. but some have note the public schedule today appears to be empty. the question is whether the president is taking the black vote for granted in this election. reverend, thank you so much for being here. you are there in houston. do you think the president is taking the black vote for granted? >> i think he is. i'm confident he is taking the black vote for granted. megyn: why? >> we have been so catering to the president i think he thinks

because we are black we are going to vote for him. megyn: is he on to something in his approval rating among blacks is 96%, 97% which is not the same as it is in the general community. >> i think he's taking us for granted. i think with him announce support for same-sex marriage will change the dynamic. megyn: i know that's a big issue for you. i don't know about the approval ratings. i now it's a big issue for you, the president personally endorsing gay marriage, though he hasn't made that part of his platform for he election. do -- for reelection. do you think that's just an issue for a small group? wouldn't we be seeing that in the polls by now? >> i don't know that the polls that we are seeing are correct. i do know that we have polls

also. our polls do not show that he has that great a percentage of the black vote. so i don't know if the polls you are looking at are accurate. some of the people that you are asking might be not being honest because i know some of the black americans struggle out of peer pressure they are saying they will vote for him but thousands are saying they will not vote for him. megyn: do you think they will wind up voting for mitt romney or stay home? >> i don't know. i'll be candid. many of them are saying they will stay home. but they will not cast a vote for obama. they are saying they will stay home. we don't know how it will fall. we still have some time to go before the day of the election. if mitt romney can do the right thing, some might vote for him, i don't know. megyn: why is it important for the president to show up

personally at the naacp convention? he did it in '09. he sent the first lady in '10. now this year vice president joe biden and the president sent the video message. why is it important for him to be there in your judgment? >> it was important for him to be there because he should have been there. i think he would have been there had he not taken the naacp for granted. the naacp pandered to the president and i don't think he counts them as being important because he already has them. but if you look at why the naacp voted for same-sex marriage. it was a few of them. had they left it to the masses of the members of the naacp they would have lost. they had to do it in the cloak of darkness. i think the president is making a serious mistake by taking the black vote for granted and i

think the naacp has made a serious mistake by pander together president and endorsing same-sex marriage. megyn: reverend owens. thanks for your thoughts. the growing mystery viewngd missing mom from ohio after her boyfriend and kids return from a north carolina vacation without her. why the police are looking for that boyfriend and what her family is saying. a foot news alert. someone is going to paid extra for that. probably not me. could we see a break through that would make your shoes more comfortable? even when you first buy them. don't miss this. okay, team! after age 40, we can start losing muscle --

police are calling her boy friend a person of interest as some of his recent behavior is raising more concern. >> reporter: the reason she was hesitant to go with her on again, off again boyfriend to the outer banks much north carolina is because he was already convicted of domestic violence against him. but she went on the trip with him anyway. the boyfriend came back to ohio without her. he dropped the two kids off at his family's and then he fled. listen to his brother calling 911. >> i want to report a possible murder. my brother was in north carolina with his ex-girlfriend an came back and said he strangled her and dropped the kids off and left. >> reporter: the boyfriend is a person of interest. they have his cell phone and they are following his atm

transactions but they have very little else to go on. here is the sister of the victim making this plea. >> they need to know where she's at. that's all we ask. >> reporter: police in two states are involved in this. police are in the process of getting search warrants to go inside the boyfriend's home. the sheriff's department is scouring the beaches where they stayed. but the sheriff says some of these beaches are a perfect spot to dump something you don't want somebody to find. the two kids 13 and 3 years old. they have been very little help in the investigation because authorities say they have been kept in the dark. but they are fully aware that their mother is missing.

megyn: hours ago we received hundreds of pages of new evidence released in this case against george zimmerman in florida. they include the results of an fbi investigation whether race was the motive in the shooting of trayvon martin. we'll take a look at what they found in today's "kelly's court." one of the president's top fundraisers raising concerns the president is sending a message that successful americans should be punished for their accomplishments and having money makes you a villian. this is one of his supporters saying this. is he right? is that what the president is doing? we'll take a fair and balanced look at that question after the break. >> michelle and i have been in your shoes. we didn't come from wealthy families. i wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. michelle wasn't. but somebody gave us a chance.

>> we used to live, folks, we used to live in a country where people wanted to be millionaires. we used live in a country where people wanted to improve. they wanted to earn more. and instead today we live in a country where people want to get a government check.

there are too many people who do. but it's not just that. the people that do want to become millan airs, the people that do want via work to improve their standard of living are said to be bad people. megyn: that was rush limbaugh yesterday accusing barack obama of upending the american dream with a tax on the wealthy. the same week when one of the president's top fundraisers said almost the same thing. suggesting the president is demonizing success. don peebles has raids $200,000 for the president's campaign but he says the president has awakened a sleeping giant with repeat attacks like these. >> the tax cuts i'm proposing are tax breaks for million airs and billionaires, tax breaks for oil companies and hedge fund

managers and corporate jet owners. i did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of of fat cat bankers on wall street. the people on wall street still don't get it. they don't get it. michelle and i have been in your shoes. we didn't come from wealthy families. i wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. megyn: joining me the deputy editorial page manager. david webb, and sally colmes who is a political blogger and fox news contributor. i'll give this to you, sally. you heard that he believes he's standing the american dream on its head. we used to be a country where you wanted to be a million air and the president is now shifting it somewhere we demonize the successful. >> he couldn't be more wrong.

the american dream has always been about fairness. opportunity is the essence of the american dream. right now our tax code unfairly benefits the very, very wealthy and penalizes the middle class. if you are a cop or construction worker you are paying higher percent average your income in taxes than millionaires and billionaires and hedge fund managers. that's not right, that's not american. megyn: percentage of income. there is no question the rich are paying more in bottom line income. why should the middle class teacher pay more in terms of percent because he doesn't have the loopholes abductions that a rich guy does. that seems to be what obama is arguing. >> no, he's not. we use sally's argument that the tax code is the problem, why didn't the president when he had control of congress go for tax

reform. don peebles and the wealthy supporters like cory booker, saying don't attack capitalism and free markets. they are look at a president, that approach kills jobs. we need tax reform that's for sure. but this is a class warfare by going after some sets and trying to get that 2008 amalgamated vote to get him back in office. megyn: we talked about this yesterday and talked about how his dad viewed this demonization of the rich. listen to president reagan, this was before he was president reagan. >> we have so many people who can't see a fat man standing beside a thin one without coming to the conclusion that the fat man got that way by taking advantage of the thin one. >> he gets right to the point.

the issue donohue's people are raising is whether barack obama is creating a substantive political problem for himself. people having problems getting money out of wealthy democrats. we are in july and people are beginning to pay attention to the campaign and what the candidates are saying. we have been talking about millionaires and billionaires and the wealthy. the president's tax proposal is to not extend taxes for individuals making $200,000 and couples making $250,000. he wants their rates to go up. that's their taxable income. that's before taxes. those are the people that are beginning to focus on this and say wait a minute. i worked hard to make it up to $200,000 or $250,000. is he talking about me, too? i think people are becoming uncomfortable with the president's proposal.

megyn: remember joe the plumber saying i want to work my way up. >> we are getting lost in the rhetoric and missing the math. we are not raising anyone's taxes we are we are making them equitable and fair. megyn: the rhetoric is also an issue. the president apparently met with some historians and said help me to communicate this message in a way that people don't say i'm guilty of class warfare. but then he goes out there. we have a few sound bites. his to the last one in particular. control room saying which one? which one? you know what i'm talking about, jay in never mind. i'll tell you what he said. let me give you the exact quote. we cannot --'s talking about tax cuts for the rich saying we have to ask the wealthy to pay a

little more. we can't have a culture that just encourages selfishness and look the out for yourself and not look out for anybody else. his point is we can't have a society where the wealthy are paying less than their fair share and the middle class is carrying the burden. it's selfish for them to pay almost half of what middle class families are paying. what we are say together middle class is suck it up. you are struggling you are unemployed. we are going to cut medicare, cut education for your kids. we are going to cut food stamps. >> let's look at the reality. when you look at what peebles said and talk about overseas accounts. it many not illegal. why are we demonizing this. the wealthy do this all over the

world. america was built on opportunity and advancement and striving to do better, not on this idea -- this false socialist notion of fairness. we are built on achievement and the krealt creators in our economy are saying if you are going to take us down while we are giving you money, how can we support you. megyn: what is a fair shot in this country? president obama keeps saying i want everybody to have a fair shot. do they not have a fair shot now? it used to be if you are born into nothing, you can become successful. now it seems to be you owe more. if you get up to that level you owe more. >> the top marginal rate is 35%. i have to dispute sally's idea that people making that level of income aren't paying taxes. the i.r.s. status. the top 10% are paying 40

percent of all taxes collected. megyn: let's keep it simple. i don't understand math at all. but she is trying to say you are paying a higher pore portion your take home pay as a middle class person than a rich guy. they do loopholes. >> people who are in business for themselves or sub chapter s corporations are paying those top marginal rates. everyone is not escaping taxation. the idea that anybody should be able to make more money and retain more of that money is called opportunity. >> last year the top 400 income earning americans paid a real percentage of 18%. that's what they paid. 18%. forget what the marginal tax rate is.

megyn: are you not groopg them all together? there are lots who paid 39%. >> that's the average. some paid less, too. ronald reagan said it's crazy for a bus driver to pay more than a millionaire. do you agree with ronald reagan? >> sally would take the fat man and say you have got to go on a diet and i'll take as much as i want. the problem is the progressives never define what is fair share. we hear flowery speeches and talks of fairness for everyone. how do we get the lower rung up. there are be lost jobs. is that what they are telling us their policies are for? megyn: the rhetoric as sally points out, the wall street fat

cats. the selfishness. that was the president's words. you can't have a culture that encourages selfishness and look out for yourself. is this having a political backlash? this guy was calling up -- calling up all these publications to rip on the president. >> let's get something straight and whatever sally says, she knows this is true. we are in new york city and manhattan. those guys down at goldman sachs and morgan stanley give more money'charitable organizations in this city than you can imagine. these institutions would collapse fit weren't for the charitable donations they were getting from the guys down on wall street. selfishness? i don't think so. they give a tremendous a. their income. megyn: i want to give sally the last word. is that a mistake for him to

paint the debate in terms of selfishness. would he do better to say i want to bring everybody together. the fair shot language and stop the dreg tory messaging? >> we could have brought other quotes. he said it's not about punishing success. it's helping everybody be successful. we are talking fair share. >> what is the fair share number? >> i think i'm being explicit. the wealthy should pay the same tax rate. >> give america a number now. >> you don't have to bully me. >> what is the number? >> i think most americans want to see the wealthy pay the same share. megyn: we got to go. a pleasure as always. coming up after the break.

racist. but no evidence that came from an independent state and separate federal interview of all witnesses that know george zimmerman. in fact his ex-girlfriend with whom he had to seek a restraining order against him said he's violent. but racist? no. megyn: how does this play into the case? right now he doesn't stand accused of any hate crimes. >> i don't think we'll have hate crime charges, but this is racially motivated. the evidence that came out further bolstered that. it says it wasn't based on skin color. his attire was a hoodie. he had iced tea and skittles and a hoodie. megyn: mark, let me tell the viewers what the investigator concluded. zimmerman's actions were not based on his skin color, rather

his attire, the total circumstances of the encounter and the previous burglaries in the area. the local gangs addressed as goons typically were dressed in black and wore hoodies. >> there are previous burglaries in the neighborhood and some of those individuals went around wearing dark colored hoodies like the one trayvon was wearing. but the bigger issue is not whether he may be profiled because of his skin color. the issue is whether they can prove second degree murder which required ill will, hatred, spite, where the heck is that evidence? megyn: does this stuff about even the conclusion that it was based on attire, does that come into evidence? >> all this will come into the ill will. the reason why the second degree is charged is the prosecutor believes she'll succeed in a

second degree conviction because he was racially motivated in going after this person, trayvon martin and shooting him with a gun. i mean it's all the clear here. >> megyn, saying it so don't make it so. where is the evidence? in reality, i don't know if this guy is a card carrying member of the kkk. i'm just dealing with evidence. where is the evidence in this case that is was racially motivated? >> that's my point. his attire. the fact he went after a skinny little kid wearing a hoodie and shot and killed him. he is a kid. he was not as big as mr. zimmerman. that is what killed this case here. the worst part is there is only scratches. zimmerman only has scratches on

his head. that's not pummeling his head into the sidewalk. >> here is what's not subject to dispute. we know his nose was either broken or punched to the excellent were bruising consistent with someone being pummel in the nose. we have cuts to the back of his head and stains showing he was on the ground and this child you talked about was on top of him committing an act of violence. we also learn there was a bullet hole in trayvon that showed soothe around -- showed soot around the bullet hole which would show it was at close range. megyn: thank you both so much. coming up. brand-new shoes. they feel great in the store. but sometimes when you get them home it's a different story. you have to break them in. now new technology could change all that. we'll walk you through it next.
