>> kimberly couldn't get her one more thing. >> i'm going to go splurge on doughnuts. >> arthel: hello, everyone. i'm arthel neville. welcome to brand-new hour inside america's news headquarters. >> i'm gregg jarrett. glad you're with us. i'm in for rick folbaum. topping the news, president obama is kick off an historic trip to south africa that is rich with personal meaning, but not everybody is rolling out the welcome mat. we're live in johannesburg. >> arthel: the good guys not resting until they got their man. suspect wanted for a brutal home invasion that was caught on tape. >> and an endless wave of electronics as the gadgets keep on coming. "consumer reports" is here. they're plugged in for the best ones to enjoy wherever you go

this summer. >> arthel: we're going to begin with an extreme weather alert on the dangerous heat wave punishing much of the western united states. temperatures today soaring well into triple digits, with highs reaching 118 degrees in phoenix. 114 in las vegas. death valley, the hottest place on the planet, hitting close to 130 degrees. that's just shy of the highest reading ever recorded. dominic deany taliban is live in santa monica. not too bad there. it's typical of the june gloom in. l., correct? >> yeah, that's right. some of the clouds burned off and people are starting to feel the temperatures pick up. nice breezing is helping keep everybody cool. if you're on the inland, certainly not the case at all. you were talking about triple digits. we're seeing local records being touched if not broken in most parts of the west today.

you mentioned last vegas. it got so hot that a rock concert, people were taken away because of the extreme heat there. medical experts saying people have got to be on the lookout for the first signs of heat-related illness and that first sign is fatigue. take a listen. >> if you're feeling tired, if you're not feeling like yourself, if your thinking gets a little fuzzy, that can be a sign of heat exhaustion. excess sweating can be one sign, but you also can have heat exhaustion without sweating. if you feel exhausted and fatigued, get out of the heat as soon as possible. >> get out of the heat as soon as possible. in nevada, it's not just humans, but also animals are suffering there. we're hearing of one animal protection agency that's set up sprinkle systems for horses out there as well. warnings to anybody who owns

animals, pets, don't leave them in cars. that's what people are saying. in california, they've set up air conditioning centers for people to come to and try and cool down there. we understand some people managed to bring their dogs to keep the family together. everybody trying to stay calm. this hot weather makes -- it's due to go on through july 2. that's tuesday. and they think sunday, tomorrow, is going to be the hottest day of all. back to you. >> arthel: you can not mess with the heat and you have to be careful if you get tired. thank you very much for that report from santa monica. president obama is in south africa right now. he's on the second leg of a three-nation african tour, attending a state dinner with the country's president there. and earlier today, mr. obama meeting with the family of nelson mandela. as the iconic antiapartheid leader remains hospitalized. ed henry traveling with the president joining us live now from johannesburg. what's the latest on the form president's condition?

>> great to he sue. there had been a lot of speculation about a possible meeting between these two men who share the bond of being the first black president of each of their nations. but today president obama decided it was a better idea to actually place a phone call to the wife of nelson mandela who has been at his bedside at the hospital here in south africa throughout this entire ordeal. he's on life support right now. bottom line is the president also decided to meet directly with some family members of mandela and at a news conference today, i asked the current south african president about how nelson mandela's condition is and he suggested he might be getting a little better. >> as we have seen even in the country and abroad, everyone is wishing mandela well. a speedy recovery. and the doctors who are attending to him are doing everything and these are very

excellent doctors who are dealing with him. so we place our hopes as well that they will do better. we hope that very soon he will be out of hospital. >> he says they're hopeful the 94-year-old former president will be able to get out soon. the other thing president obama is dealing with is the fact there are some protesters protesting u.s. foreign policy. they're upset about the use of drones to target terrorists. the president also at a youth town hall here in south africa and got pointed questions from students who were wondering about u.s. efforts to fight terror in this continent, gregg. >> the president is keeping an eye on violence elsewhere, right, ed? >> no doubt about it. on the other side of this continent from where i am right now, in egypt, you've seen over the last couple of days a real explosion and violence of protesters rising up against the current president, mohammed

er.si, who you will remember is bottom line is they're moving forward towards a massive demonstration on sunday. president obama today said that he is monitoring the situation very closely. >> our most immediate concern with respect to protests this weekend have to do with our embassies and conflicts. so we have been in direct contact with the egyptian government and we have done a whole range of planning to make sure that we're doing everything we can to keep our embassyies protected and our diplomats and personnel there safe. >> the president added it's his top priority in this situation to make sure that the embassy personnel are safe. remember, he took a lot of heat for the situation in another part of africa, benghazi, libya, when ambassador stevens was killed and three other americans. he's making sure in this situation he's on top of it. remember that an american student, only 21 years ole, was

killed yesterday caught up in some of the cross fire over some of these protests in egypt. a lot of strife there right now. >> ed henry traveling with the president just after midnight in johannesburg, thanks very much. >> arthel: new trouble for the irs official at the center of the agency's political targeting scandal. a house committee voting along party lines that lois lerner waived her right to read a statement declaring her innocence before a congressional hearing last month. remember that? now she could be called back to capitol hill at any time. molly henneberg is live in washington with the latest. molly? >> hi, arthel. lois lerner's attorney, william taylor, is pushing back, saying the house oversight committee is a, quote, highly polarized forum and that lawmakers voted along straight party lines. taylor said in a statement,

quote, she meaning learner, did not give up her right to refuse to testify by stating her innocence. she had requested that she not be required to appear at all and was forced against her will to invoke her rights in public. when she was forced to do that, she was entitled to say what she said. learner came before the house oversight committee on may 22 to explain what she knew and when about the irs targeting conservative groups. she spoke for two minutes and 40 seconds at the end, invoking her fifth amendment rights. but not taking any questions from lawmakers. that infuriated republicans who spoke before the vote yesterday. >> yes, she has a constitutional right to remain silent and she could have invoked it, but she did not. and we have a constitutional obligation to provide oversight. >> democrats insist that she had every right to do what she did. >> this is first and foremost lois lerner an american citizen

invoking one of the most sacred privileges enshrined in the bill of rights, her fifth amendment right to protect herself. >> republicans say they still want lois lerner to answer their questions, but so far, there has been no official request for her to appear before the committee again. arthel? >> arthel: molly, thank you very much. so the question remains, will lois lerner be forced to return to capitol hill to testify? what rights does she have? our political panel ed rollins and doug schoen will be here to take a look at the next steps on this ongoing investigation that's going to happen a little later in the show with gregg. >> police and the f.b.i. arresting a suspect in a brutal home invasion in new jersey. this horrific attack captured on a nanny camera in the victim's home a little over a week ago. investigators say the video shows 42-year-old sean curtis repeatedly punching the woman in the face, smashing her to the floor, her three-year-old daughter cowering on a couch. the suspect now faces charges of

attempted murder, robbery, burglary, child endangerment. the victim's family has issued a statement praising the hard work of law enforcement officers. >> arthel: the first week of george zimmerman's second degree murder trial wraps up with two neighbors and a police officer taking the stand. the witness is did he tailing what they saw and heard the night trayvon martin was killed. they're using the testimony to build dueling testimonies. now more from sanford, florida. >> the first time i heard something, i didn't think anything of it. >> he saw the first part of the struggle. >> i literally took one step outside the door onto the concrete slab. >> he says he heard someone calling for help. >> it sounded to be the same voice. >> goode told the court he saw one person on top of the other.

>> i could tell that person on the bottom had a lighter skin color. >> one goode's 911 call was played. one of the jurors looked over at trayvon martin's parents. goode told prosecutors that he couldn't determine who punched who. >> what did you find? >> no fault. >> a firefighter emt, as well as an officer testified about what happened when they arrived to the scene. >> you state -- he stated that he was yelling for help and nobody would come help. >> after he was handcuffed, he asked jonathan to call his wife. during that conversation -- >> kind of cut me off and he said, just tell her i shot someone. >> his medical records were read in. >> difficulty with falling and maintaining, we started to exercise intensely with mma, but this has not helped. >> were you able to determine mma as being mixed martial-arts? >> yes. >> both went back and forth about his injuries. >> it may not be caused by trauma. >> it could be. >> consistent, all of it, with being hit on concrete, is it

not? >> it could be consistent, yes. >> and it expert in charge of surveillance cameras also testified, but the shooting was not caught on video. valerie boey, fox news. >> thank you. >> arthel: i want to let everybody know to please stick with fox news channel for more on the george zimmerman murder trial. next monday and tuesday, our own greta van susteren will be inside the courtroom. she is going to be reporting live on all the latest developments, monday and tuesday, right here on the fox news channel. surprising new details on the ten-year-old pennsylvania little girl who had a double lung transplant earlier this month. sarah murnaghan, her parents now revealing that she underwent a second transplant just three days after her initial surgery on june 12. her mother says the new transplant was a success. sarah was even able to take a few breaths on her own, but placed back on a ventilator due to partial paralysis of her

diaphragm, a complication of surgery that is not allowing her lungs to expand. she is scheduled for another surgery on monday to address that problem. sarah got the new lungs because the first set failed within hours. >> we were told that there was a 50% chance that she would die in the surgery. but we were told that there was a one in a million chance she would live on the current lung she had. so we didn't feel like there was a lot of decision to make there. it was all scary, but seemed very clear that we needed to go ahead and take this risk. >> she is certainly a courageous little girl and sarah's story made national headlines after her parents sued the department of health and human services over an age requirement that actually prevented her from being put on the adult donor's list. then a federal judge order the department to suspend that policy. and our best wishes to little sarah. what a courageous little girl.

>> arthel: our thoughts and prayers with her and her family. okay, we are just getting started. we have a jam packed show. college students already drowning in debt when they graduate. now about to go even deeper. we're going to tell you why and how you can beat the higher cost. >> new details on a third arrest in the aaron hernandez nfl murder investigation. we have a live report. >> arthel: plus, it could be dajavu for lois lerner. will the irs official who has become the public face of the targeting scandal be called back to testify? our political panel breaks it all down next. bulldog:

bulldog: time to celebrate with your mates, grill a few dogs... eh, hot dogs. bacon burgers... dashchund: mattress discounters' 4th of july sale ends soon? bulldog: that cloud reminds me... radio: the tempur-pedic cloud collection-- bulldog: that's it! radio: now with 48 months interest-free financing-- basset hound: free financing? radio: or get a queen-size sealy gel memory foam mattress for just $497. bulldog: that's a ringer of a deal! radio: mattress discounters' 4th of july sale ends soon. ♪ mattress discounters

>> arthel: welcome back. the largest gathering of latino policy makers, addressing the crowd in chicago, the republican national committee chair says his party is leading the discussion on immigration reform, although the outcome is still unclear. >> like you, i recognize the need for immigration reform because our current system is broken. we can all agree on that and it has to be fixed. it's important to recognize that

republicans are taking the lead in this policy discussion. we don't know what the final product is going to look like, but i join you in hoping that the men and women on capitol hill will get it right. >> arthel: don't miss this fox news sunday, two members of the gang of eight who helped draft the immigration reform bill senators john mccain and charles schumer, together with john roberts, he's in for chris wallace tomorrow -- and john will also talk with two key congressmen, trey gowdy and another on the bill's prospects in the house, tomorrow on fox news sunday. >> gregg: the official at the very center of the irs scandal may be asked to make a curtain call, if you will, on capitol hill, forced to answer questions about the agency's giving extra

scrutiny to conservative groups seeking tax exempt status. lois lerner, there she is, refusing to answer questions at a congressional hearing last month, invoking her fifth amendment right. but a new resolution from the committee finds that she forfeited her right to remain silent, that's what they claim -- when she made an opening statement declaring her innocence. reaction to the resolution split along partisan lines. >> lois lerner is, in fact, a poster child for thumbing her nose, a federal bureaucrat thumbing her nose at congress. >> i think that is a constitutional right to thumb your nose at the government and i think considering the fact that congress' favor ability rate something 6%, there is probably a lot of americans that would use a different finger with respect to congress today. >> gregg: i wonder which finger that is? let's bring in ed rollins, form

national campaign director for reagan and bush, and ed schoen, both are fox news contributors. doug, let me start with you. you're the lawyer and you know lois lerner, whether anybody likes it or not, has the law on her side. it's not a question of what she said or how long she said it, but where she said it. she didn't say it in a court of law, in which case she would have waived her fifth. no, this is a committee hearing. you can invoke the fifth at any time. >> right. we have all have the presumption of innocence. we all can invoke whatever we want and to just declare that she didn't do anything wrong, to me, on a basis of both substance and procedure doesn't violate any statute, law or norm, and she can invoke. gregg, i think it's sad as a democrat that we're getting into procedural issues than the issue of what did she do, what did she know? when did she know it. >> gregg: ed, i wonder if republicans are falling into it. darrell issa can force her to appear, but he can't make her

talk. it goes through a federal judge, then it gets dragged out forever. then he gets accused of showboating. why not just grant her immunity? let's cut to the chase? >> i would grant her immunity. first of all, she said she's innocent, both violating a law and any irs regulations. she's the key to finding out what is going on here. certainly she knows who ordered her or who basically -- if no one ordered her, someone did this and even the president himself has said this was inappropriate. i would think they would want some kind of a deal to where she could basically tell her side of the story and she's not at this point the victim. she's basically someone with the knowledge and you want her knowledge. >> gregg: doug, does the continuing image of a top irs official clamming up about an abusive government effort to punish conservative groups, does that just kind of reinforce this per vasesive sense of corruption

and vindictiveness that taints and diminishes president obama? >> absolutely. look. bottom line, we have three scandals. we have the a.p. and the intrusion into r. james rosen. we have benghazi. we have the irs, the nsa. bottom line, gregg, we look like a country that is under siege by our government while we look weak and impotent overseas, it works to the disadvantage of the u.s. and the president. >> gregg: president obama, ed, how did he get to the bottom of this? he hasn't lifted a finger to do it. he appoints this feckless new commissioner who promptly awards $70 million in bonuses, which smacks of a payoff, then he appears before congress to answer questions, doesn't answer the questions. he's evasive. maybe the president doesn't want to get to the bottom. >> i can't make that charge. a lot of republicans might. >> gregg: you would be tempted

to. >> i would be tempted to. >> i would certainly say it. >> really? >> yeah. >> what i think is more important is the irs is a very, very important agency in everyone's life. it's going to become more important with obamacare. you have to basically clean up your image. most dreaded letter anyr than tn mail check, which is very seldom s when the irs sends you a letter. so unless you basically restore the trust, the 100,000 plus people who work there deserve, then i think to a certain extent, you'll have a damaged agency and a damaged government. >> gregg: you think the president doesn't want to get to the bottom of this, why? >> i've not seen any evidence that the president has said to his senior staff, let's find out what happened, where it happened. he said to a now compromised eric holder, do an investigation. we don't know where that is going. we don't know what the f.b.i. is doing. gregg, ed and i have been around presidential administrations. i've sat with the president, so has ed. bottom line, i don't have a sense of seriousness and purpose. >> gregg: ed, is this scandal evidence that the irs is either

too incompetent or too untrustworthy, or maybe both, to handle the implementation and the enforcement of obamacare? >> i think the trust is the critical issue here. i think people -- the idea that they have our tax records and know what everybody makes at this point in time, what everybody owes in taxes is scary enough o a lot of people. but the fact that you're going to make determinations on people's health, i think really frightens people and unless they restore the confidence, they're going to have a hard time. >> gregg: if the irs, doug, cannot handle a mere 1700 tax exempt application, how in the world can they handle 7 million applications for obamacare, tax credits, subsidies, not to mention compliance and collections of tens of millions of americans? they can't do it, can they? >> you should be reassured as i am but the fact that they're adding, 16, 17,000 special employees to help with the glut of applications. >> gregg: all of which will be union workers. >> precisely. look, i share your view.

i think and i suspect ed shares my view that obamacare needs to be revised. we need to expand health care for all americans. we just shouldn't do it this way with an unwieldy program. >> it should be a health and human services. >> absolutely. >> gregg: 76% of americans in the latest poll said leave the irs out of this. obamacare thing, they can't handle it. >> couldn't agree more. >> gregg: ed and doug, thank you so much. they'll be back tomorrow at 5:30 p.m., eastern time when we meet with our political insiders. so stay tuned for that. arthel? >> arthel: a lot more to come on this saturday afternoon with interest rates on student loans set to double in just 48 hours, what you can do to cope with the extra burden, as well as the options universities could consider to reduce costs for everyone. >> gregg: plus another twist in the murder investigation unfolding around the former nfl star aaron hernandez. what the arrest of a third

suspect now means to the case and all the latest details coming up in a live report. >> walked into our police department and turned himself in. he approached our communications officer and stated that he was earnest wallace, that he had seen news reports where he had warrants out for his arrest and wanted to turn himself in hey.

they're coming. yeah. british. later. sorry. ok...four words... scarecrow in the wind... a baboon... monkey? hot stew saturday!? ronny: hey jimmy, how happy are folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico? jimmy: happier than paul revere with a cell phone. ronny: why not? anncr: get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more.

>> arthel: funeral service held in boston today for the victim in the high profile murder investigation swirling around former nfl star aaron hernandez. hundreds of people turning out today to pay their respects to odin lloyd, the 27-year-old semi pro football player found shot to death last week. this just one day after police arrested a third suspect in the case, ernest wallace, carlos

cortez and hernandez, all now in custody. laura ingraham live with more. >> hi. family and friends streamed into the church of the holy spirit in boston's neighborhood today where odin lloyd was remembered. some members of lloyd's team, the boston bandits, showed up for the funeral in their team jerseys. they were also heard chanting lloyd's name as pallbearers placed his casket in a hears outside. the last known suspect involved in this case is now in custody. 44-year-old ernest wallace turned himself in yesterday without incident in florida. he will be charged with accessory after the fact. wallace has not spoken with investigators about loy's murder. he's awaiting extradition to massachusetts. former new england patriots star aaron hernandez has been charged with lloyd's execution-style murder. hernandez has been denied bail twice and awaiting trial behind bars. we spoke with someone from the bristol county sheriff's office who told us hernandez remains in a 7 by ten cell by himself.

his demeanor, calm and cool. and he has no special protection at this time. investigators say they now have all three men they believe were in the car with lloyd the morning of his murder, including carlos ortiz, who you see here, who was taken in custody on a charge of carrying a firearm without a license. prosecutors say lloyd was shot in the side, chest and back around 3:30 a.m. june 17, his body discovered roughly a half mile from hernandez' home in north attleboro. boston police were back in hernandez' home friday and trying to determine if he was involved in an unsolved double murder from last july. investigators now believe that odin lloyd may have had information about hernandez' alleged role in that case. the story continues to develop. arthel? >> arthel: indeed. thank you very much for the update. >> gregg: a little off the field drama for the indianapolis colts. police in washington, d.c. busting safety joe lafazen on gun and alcohol charges. cops say the 25-year-old and two

others began to run when officers pulled them over for speeding. he and another passenger ending the night in jail where they'll be until there is a hearing. that's scheduled for tuesday. the driver of the car got away. the team saying it has no comment until it has more information. >> arthel: get ready to pay more if you're in college or financing your child's education. who wants to hear that? interest rates on stafford loans set to double next week. after congress failed to reach a deal to lock in the opportunity 3.4% rate. there is still time for congress to act before monday's deadline. but many analysts say that's unlikely. the president of culpbomb is here. >> thanks for having me. >> arthel: out of the gate, what's the first thing that parents can do or students can do, 'cause you're looking at an average of extra $2,600 a year, or $216 a month if you break it down. >> if nothing gets done, very

simple, costs are going to go up to the parents and students and they're going to have to start looking at dollars in different places, whether it's where they live or how many classes they take. it's a darn shame because in the last week we've had this immigration bill that they put all kinds of give aways in, billions of dollars, yet they can't get something like this done to the most important thing and that's our future, the students. >> arthel: we don't want to make this political, but i'm just saying that apparently most of the democrats wanted to lock in the current 3.4% rate. maybe for two more years, while congress can debate a fairer solution. do you think this is good strategy and if not, how would you advise congress on handling or setting these student loan rates? >> at this point in time, time has run out. i would give it another year for right now. but the big issue is the cost of colleges has gone up 7% a year for many years right now. the reason they're able to do that is they are subsidized.

no matter what happens, if a student can't pay, they still get paid. that's got to change. they need to share some risk and if they did, i promise you, it wouldn't be 7% a year. it would be more like the inflation rate. >> arthel: you mean they, the university should share some risk? >> yes, the university. if that doesn't change, costs are just going to keep skyrocketing and student loans just going to keep going up and up and up and it's already out of hand. >> arthel: yeah. gary, the a.p. released a 2012 analysis of college grads. 25 and younger, half of them are unemployed or in jobs they don't even require a college degree. so what do you tell these young people? do they become perpetual students, wait for rates to drop? what do they do? >> that's the problem right now. it's pretty much a vicious cycle. you go to college, your expectation is if you graduate, you'll get a good job and there is not enough gotta jobs out there. thus the loans don't get paid back and you enter the cycle. there is no great answer. the economy has got to get better. there has got to be more jobs

and better jobs. not the ones that are paying 8 to $12 an hour. if it doesn't change, we'll be in this soup for a very long time. >> arthel: , you lead me to my next question. the long-term impact on our economy, if people can't afford college, then our potential work force will be mostly comprised of high school graduates, while you have other countries focusing on higher education and engineering and technology, to name a few. it's got to hurt us in the long run because if we can't compete for jobs in our own country, let alone around the world, if we're not prepared. >> well, i think somewhere along the line we have to hit the wall. i have one son that just graduated. i have one going to college next year. so i know what this is all about. we've got to hit a wall on cost. it's just gotten too out of hand and the numbers are outrageous at this point in time. the ability for students to pay back their loans, some of them in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

it will never happen. guess who ends up eating that in more than likely the taxpayer. we don't want that to happen. so i think something's got to give and they need to get together with the universities and our politicians and come up with something much, much better. >> arthel: not to mention i know personally some kids who are very smart and would like to go to college and either can't afford it or working two and three jobs to pay to get through college. it's ridiculous. gary, thank you so much and congratulations to your having two kids in college. or one graduated. >> thank you so much. >> gregg: we'll say congratulations really earnestly when they're all done. >> arthel: that's true. >> gregg: all right. in the meantime, landmark victory for gay marriage as it gets a big boost from the u.s. supreme court. but will it become the law of the land? susan estridge will be joining us coming up next. and the best gadgets for folks on the go this summer as the weather turns warmer.

>> arthel: a pair of landmark rulings from the supreme court on gay marriage, firing up activists and politicians on both sides of these hot button issues. the plaintiffs in one of the cases getting married yesterday, just hours after the state of california lifted prop 8. this week's historic decision setting the stage for a state by state battle. susan estridge is here, a law professor in political science, professor at the university of southern california. she's also a fox news contributor. susan, good to see you. >> good to see you, art. >> arthel: thank you. let's get to the follow-up because the question i have for you right out of the gate here is where do we go from here?

first we talk about the supreme court gay marriage cases. can we anticipate speed bumps and road blocks in implementing these laws? >> well, the gay marriage cases are very interesting because in a sense, what the court did with these two shifting majorities and one on purely procedural issue standing is they came up with this conservative result, as justice rehnquist, the late chief justice would say, which is they left it to the state. so all the action now goes to the states, as you pointed out. we're going to have political fights and we'll have initiatives and we may have people bringing suit under state constitutions. but the federal government has effectively said look, on doma, whatever the state does, we'll respect. standing issues, states, you don't want to defend your law, we're not going to consider it. so it's really up to the states. it's almost exciting. >> arthel: yeah. but that's what i'm talking about. you're going to see speed bumps

and road blocks in many cases. let's still stick with the supreme court. as you know, they struck down a key part of the voting rights act. landmark civil rights legislation, so 15 states no longer have to get advance approval from the justice department or a panel of federal judges for all changes to voting laws, procedures, and polling places. right. your reaction first and then how do you think this rule will go unfold? >> -- ruling will unfold? >> speed bumps. [ laughter ] you're right. this one i see the speed bumps. what this means in practice is that in the 15 states which dated back decades that had traditionally practiced jim crowe tactics, the feds won't be looking over their shoulder in advance. it makes once again how politics works at the local level. i think it's fair to say that a lot has changed. i think you're going to have to see some vigilance by political

groups. and you still do have the prospect that somebody who does feel disenfranchised could bring suit after the fact. but what i hope we see from these two decisions is the kind of resurgence of the recognition of how important politics is, that it matters at the local level, and that this gives people something to really get engaged with. >> arthel: we definitely will hear a lot more to come on that one. you mentioned the word politics. let's talk about congress. the senate passing major immigration reform. now what happens? >> now it probable lea dies in the house -- probably dies in the house. that's a problem. the -- i heard the chair of the republican committee just before i got on saying we're leading the debate on immigration reform and i thought, that's right, because you're debating with each other. and that's a problem for republicans right now. they're on both sides of this bill. it's historic legislation. no one gives it a lot of chance in the house. i think the challenge for the republican party is they're

making this transition and transitions are really hard, so you're hitting speed bumps and i think it remains to be seen whether the republicans come out of this looking like they're moving forward on immigration, forward being towards more reform, or whether they're holding fast on immigration and that's big stakes politics. >> arthel: tomorrow, i don't know if you heard earlier, but we mentioned that tomorrow john roberts, who is filling in for chris wallace, he has an exclusive show covering all the bits and pieces of that particular topic. so check that out, susan. good to see you. thank you. >> good to see you, art. have a great weekend. >> arthel: you, too. and i want to remind everybody that you can read susan estridge's syndicated column in newspapers across the country, that's every wednesday and friday. >> gregg: when you say john roberts will be filling in for chris wallace tomorrow, you mean the chief justice is going to be filling in? >> arthel: john roberts, you know who i'm talking about. the great correspondent.
