6:00 am
looking out for you. number one "new york times" best seller. have a great weekend, greta is next. see you monday. >> greta: tonight, did you see who has a new bus? the rnc. this bus has a name. the fire nancy pelosi bus. tonight bus is albuquerque, new mexico. what is with the bus? chairman steele joins us live. what is with this bus? >> bus is a way to communicate a very important message that it is time to take this country in a different direction. we want people to get on the bus and be part of this transformative moment. you have seen this grass roots energy for the past year and a half. it is important when i became national chairman for our party to be on streets of america in neighborhoods and communities. for the last six weeks of this campaign we wanted to get on
6:01 am
the road. go directly to the people a chance to lift up our candidates. we are here in albuquerque. we had a chance to talk about the leadership of susan martinez and a host of candidates running here. we are excited. >> greta: i imagine some republicans are cheering you on. are you getting pelted with any potatos along the way? >> no. we had some protesters that came out today to protest at the bus. i welcomed it. i love. that is part of the excitement of democracy where people express their points of view. the crowd was small and those who are looking for freedom in a different direction supporting candidates here in arizona turned out in big numbers. our victory centers are operating at full throttle. the energy is real. it examine exciting. -- it is exciting. i think this is a good time for the country to have a
6:02 am
discussion about not just the policies but the direction of this country the fundamental principles that still matter the constitution and things like that that are still important us to. >> greta: washington has cleared out, it is like a ghost town here. not only that, rahm emanuel is also leaving. what do you make of now the normer chief of staff going back to chicago and running for mayor? >> well, look he's gonna have to go back before the voters. rahm is no stranger to that he's going to have a competitive primary for that job. it is not an automatic. even though the send-off that he today from the president seeped like a mayoral endorsement. but again, the white house whether it is rahm emanuel leaving or you know, the congratulatory tone of the administration for work they think the american people
6:03 am
support. again, reemphasizes how out of touch they are. there is no discussion about jobs coming out of this white house. certainly out of leadership. they a chance, a chance greta, to say definitively that the bush tax cuts would be kept in place at last for a two year period of time. they couldn't even get that done. these folks ran out of washington without passing a budget for our nation. how incompetent is that? how do you go to the american people, go back home and say reelect me so that we can think more about what we should be doing. the country is ready for people to lead through action. that's what i chait about what the republican leadership did last week, kevin mccarthy, my good buddy put out this pledge to america. that clearly said legislative there is how we intend to lead. i think that inspires the folks to pay closer attention to what our candidates are talking about and what they will do when they get elected
6:04 am
this november. growth the message you are talking about the republican leaders came out with last week was cutting spending, small government. basically things that the tea party says. a couple years ago you had your shot at it and you didn't do that. why should the voters now believe you when you come out with this? >> well, because i think a couple of things has happened. one we've learned from that blunder. when you step away from a principle, that's a foundational principle when it comes to tax and fiscal policy to keep government small, to make sure the tax base is not over liburdsome for businesses and families. >> greta: i know that's your principle. the problem is, you got to have the do with it. >> right, that's my point. >> greta: the american voters are raw. a lot of voters are not convinced the democrats are going to do that or the republicans. >> i understand that completely that is part of why we have been on the road talking to voters and
6:05 am
showcasing our candidates who are emerging, consistent with those principles. committed to that idea of those very things that the voters out there want. so, i think to the point are asking when you are looking at the leadership that is emerging whether it is a joe miller or a christine o'donnell or john bore la or -- or borelli, martinez, this leadership understands what the voters have been saying for the past 18 months. [ talking over each other ] >> they are prepared to make themselves accountable for that greta. >> greta: curious, you mentioned joe miller you got up in alaska, you've got a republican united states senator, lisa murkowski still the senator she didn't win the republican primary. rather than rallying and getting behind the republican party many say she has gone rogue. so it doesn't look like your party is on a total message. has she gone rogue on you?
6:06 am
>> i understand what the agony of defeat is about. after all, i grew up a roman catholic black conservative from washington, d.c.. you know defeat a lot, it is not the easiest thing in the world, so i get that. there comes a point where the campaign for office ends after a primary. we need to come together as a party and support the nominees of our party who are going to carry that standard for us through the fall. i appreciate senator murkowski's effort. the fact of it is, the republican party has its nominee, that's joe miller. we are behind him and we are going to work very hard to make sure he comes to washington to fill that seat to make sure that harry reid does not have the tools. in fact, we hope that seat is the difference between being in the minority or the majority. be that as it may, the fact is, that voice is important to be there. i think that the commitment that our candidates have made to the votes, by looking them
6:07 am
in the eye and saying we understand we've learned from the mistakes of the past and committing ourselves to working towards solutions that you want. i think is a positive step. the last point you made on the tea parties, that's a synergy that is working together. we have a common interest. all this noise about opposition between tea party and the gop is just crazy. it is not -- that's not the reality out there in america. >> greta: 30 seconds left. are you going -- the rnc are you throwing yourself behind christine o'donnell? how much money are you giving her to help with her campaign? >> we have absolutely committed to her race. we have two victory office there. two of the 352 victory offices, we have fully staffed around the country. we are competitive now 100 congressional districts around the nation. >> greta: how about her? >> she is part of that commitment we are making to win. we put resources on the ground we it fully staffed. we are working with her to do
6:08 am
fundraisers with her over the next couple of weeks. we are fully committed to christine's success as we are commit odd to every republican nominee winning this year. that's the difference between whether we continue to grow wealth and prosperity or redistribute it as the obama administration and the others want to do. >> greta: chairman steele, thank you. >> you got it. >> greta: an american gunned down on the u.s./mexico border, in the water. the american man was shot in the head while jet skiing yesterday with his wife on falcon lake a body of water separating texas from mexico. the attack happened on the mexican said of the lake. what did happen? joining us on the phone ap reporter. tell us what the facts are as we know them tonight? >> right now, the game wardens
6:09 am
have been searching the u.s. side of falcon lake all day. >> they've called off their search for he tonight. as of right now they don't know where david hartley might be. they've only been able to search the u.s. side of the lake. the search is going to continue tomorrow. >> greta: tell me what happened? >> thursday, david hartley and his wife tiffany, they both had jet skis and they took a trip to some old mexican ruins on the mexico side, obviously. they were there sightseeing, taking photos. when they were about to leave, as they were leaving, they were approached by two boats and armed gunmen in the boats. tiffany hartley told authorities they didn't talk to them, they just saw their weapons and immediately began to turn their jet skis toward the u.s. side and started to flee back. as they fled, tiffany hartley said her husband was shot in
6:10 am
the head from behind. she said she turned around to try to rescue him, but as she did that, she can hear bullets whizzing by. rescue wasn't possible she told police then she rode her jet ski five to six mimes back to u.s. soil and called for help. >> greta: there any eyewitnesses and have they recovered his jet can i -- his jet ski. this poor woman lost her husband. i have to ask, any suspicion other than what she said? >> no, authorities haven't said that right now they do believe this was pirates out at falcon lake. this was the five incident at falcon lake this year that has been reported. so authorities do believe her story is what happened. >> greta: did they ask for anything? >> no, they didn't ask her for anything. in the four previous incidents this year those boaters all told police that the pilots
6:11 am
had asked for things. they asked for money, drugs. in all those cases, the american boaters were able to get away, without incident. in this case, tiffany hartley told authorities they just saw the gunmen, never spoke to them, rather than just turned around and tried to make a run for it. >> greta: paul, thank. >> there are bad signs coming out of pakistan. militants have set fire to more than a dozen nato tankers. pakistan has just shutdown down our main supply route to our troops in afghanistan. why is pakistan doing this now? ambassador bolton next. >> if you are making a 2012 obama campaign sign. there is a problem you should know about. >> next rush limbaugh gets animated, literally. animated, literally. you will see it min activia is better than ever! hey, you guys. want to try activia's great new taste? isn't this the yogurt
6:12 am
that, you know... helps regulate your digestive system. ooh, i think i'll pass. no, no, no! trust me. it is beyond tasty. mmm! wow! i can't believe it, i love it! mmm, this is really good! new best tasting activia ever! ♪ activia now you can join the fight against breast cancer every time you enjoy an activia. give hope with every cup of activia.
6:14 am
>> greta: we've taken you to pakistan with our cameras so it is no secret pakistan has been double dealing the united states. tonight more bad signs. armed militants torching more than two dozen nato tankers carrying fuel to our troops in afghanistan. today's attacks one day after pakistan closed a major border crossing shutting done a major supply route to our troop s. john bolton joins us live that was in retaliation to a helicopter crossing over into pakistan and killing some pakistanis. this isn't getting any better. >> no, look it is a very complicated situation in pakistan. the population is largely hostile two the united states, because of -- because of radical islamist teaching in the schools over a long period of time. the democratically elected government is corrupt and incompetent. the military is more on our side but it too has its share of infiltration by political radical islamists.
6:15 am
nonetheless this is the country we've got to work with on one side of the border with afghanistan to destroy taliban and al-qaeda. >> greta: when i read that a major supply route for us to get troops -- to get materials, everything, fuel, whatever to our troops in afghanistan i thought what is a major supply route we'll just use another one. then i read it supplies 80%. then i thought who is shutting this down? who did the torching of the nato tankers? and it is islamic militants. do you think that the pakistani government or military was at all complicit with the tar. ing of those tankers? >> i think it is possible. what i would say is, don't believe that the government, the civilian side or the military is completely unify. they are split, fragmented, at odds with each other on religious and other grounds that is the one of the reasons this is so hard. it is not the case that dealing with pakistan as an
6:16 am
ally is necessarily different from dealing with fractious difficult allies in other wars. imagine, remember franklin roosevelt trying to deal with charles degall and the free french during -- charles de gaulle and the free french during world war ii. >> greta: the fact never nuclear weapons, look what happened in mumbai with -- it is said that the pakistani intelligence has helped the terrorist groups they went into mumbai and killed 168 or something that just rattles of course understandably india. i think is different. >> well it is worse. for the reason you mentioned. at stake here is control over pakistan's arsenal of nuclear weapons which reports put it between 60 and 200 that's a lot of nuclear weapons with respect to possible conflict with india and even more dangerous the notion that a radical pakistani government
6:17 am
could give a handful of those weapons to terrorist groups who could detonate them anywhere in the worm. when all is said and done, i come down to the nuclear weapons. it is very unpleasant. he i don't have much good to say about the pakistani government except, they happen to be in the same place as taliban and al-qaeda we need their help to crush those resistance forces. >> greta: in terms of the supply route that has been shutdown do you think it is momentary where they want to each us a lesson or are we going to talk about this a week from now? >> i say this not to justify the pakistani conduct. i think what they are trying to do the most benign explanation is to show to the militants in their own country they can stand up to the united states. that may be satisfied as a political proposition by a relatively brief closure. we are fighting a war in afghanistan in a land locked country without much
6:18 am
infrastructure we have to go in by land that means through pakistan. >> greta:er in helping their own terrorists and sending a signal to their people -- they are not sending a signal to people the americans are there as their partners. i don't know how that makes it any better. >> if we could be rational with the pakistani government particularly the pro democratic forces in the country and the government we should be arguing to them, i hope we, expect we are, they ought to be just as much against the radical islamists as we are. there isn't going to be any free election once pakistani taliban and al-qaeda take over. so i think their interests are lined with ours. the flat truth is they don't necessarily see that it way. >> greta: certainly is disturbing. >> it is complicated. it is not going to get any better. >> greta: that makes it even worse because it isn't great now. ambassador, thank you. >> thank you.
6:19 am
>> greta: next, gloria allred is here. she at the center of a huge controversy in california. she says she has the smoking gun, but does she? gloria is next. >> a star is here. to be buy keith goes on the record about his new album, record about his new album, "life on the road" brbride ] the wedding was just days away. but my smile just wasn't white enough. now what?

6:20 am
6:21 am
. >> greta: with election day closing in fast the race for california governor has just been turned on its head. republican whitman's long time maid an illegal immigrant said whitman new she -- knew she was in the country illegally and was abusive to her. whitman denies it. when she learned the news he fired the woman immediately. gloria allred is represent
6:22 am
being the maid and says she has the smoking gun. gloria allred joins us. you know i like you gloria, but i think this is absolutely unthinkable. let me tell you what you have done. one, you are getting your client deported by putting a big neon sign i'm here illegally, signed documents falsely and i've done that under penalty of perjury saying this is my social security number. that is the first thing. the second thing is i think your for instances from this social security document. i think you got it wrong. i think it helps meg whitman and her husband because i think that's the more reasonable for instance and you would get barbecued if you took it to court. on the eve of an election to raise something like this which has the possibility of smearing unfairly, calling someone a liar and subverting the electoral process. all three things, you know i like you but i think all three things are rotten. so go ahead, respond. >> well you have asked three things. which would you like me to
6:23 am
start with? >> greta: take your pick they are all bad. let's talk about the social security document or the document where the social security administration, start there the. >> all right. here's the heart of it -- two days ago meg whitman, when we said she had notice that she was possibly hiring or continuing to employ, i should say an undocumented worker namely nicky, my client the housekeeper in her home, i said that she received that letter on april 22nd, from the social security administration, warning her or suggesting to her that there might be a mismatch in the social security number, which is usually a clue that you might have an undocumented worker working for you. what happened was meg whitman used the following words in response to what i said, quote to the associated press, "we
6:24 am
never received that letter be or the notification." she also denied it to the "los angeles times" and "the new york times." when i -- what i did yesterday was simply show she did in fact lie. because she said we, meaning -- wait, here the letter. she said, we meaning her husband and herself never received it. here it is. it's her address on it. it's got her name on it. it's her husband's handwriting on it. >> greta: gloria this is almost al this is where you get barbecued in court. it has her husband's handwriting on it. her handwriting is not on it. and it says nicky that's the housekeeper, check on this, thanks. that shows that the husband didn't have a clue. that's why you get barbecued in court. this doesn't show meg whitman knows it. it showers husband was confused by it, turns it over to the housekeeper and the housekeeper sits on it because she knows she has this big fat
6:25 am
lie. >> no, that is not true. here's where you are wrong greta. first of all meg whitman said to the public and the press before i showed this letter. we never received that letter. she saying, flatly denying that her husband ever received it. [ talking over each other ] growth gloria if this -- >> greta: gloria if in ever went to -- >> it is not going to court. >> greta: another horrible thing to do, why smear her and call her a liar. there's no prove she ever got it! >> well, you know the lie is she denied -- >> greta: and the husband says he doesn't remember getting this document several years ago. it is like -- it is insane that you assign this knowledge to her. >> greta, she didn't say on wednesday that they didn't remember getting it. she denied, we never received that letter or notification is
6:26 am
what she said to at associated press the "l.a. times", "new york times" and so forth. she was clear they denied receiving it. she didn't know i had a copy of it with her husband's handwriting on it that is a lie that shows character. >> greta: the thing that doesn't have her handwriting but her husband's doesn't even hurt either one of them it actually helps her, because it says, nicky please check on this because they don't have a clue that your client has lied to them. they've been duped. now you have what you have done is you have outed your client told the world here we've got this undocumented person in the united states now under penalty of perjury has lied big neon sign come arrest my client look, she has kids born here in the united states. blown up huge and we are on the verge of an election. >> two points. one, when he gave nicky, and
6:27 am
said, nicky please check on it. he never asked for it back. if you look at the form, which i have right here, the government is telling the employer, fill in the information above and return this letter in the enclosed envelope. it is the employer's job to do what the government says. >> greta: then scream about the husband. i don't agree with you. i think you -- [ talking over each other ] for god's sakes this isn't meg whitman this is her husband, a surgeon at stanford who doesn't though anything about these documents would be my guess. >> he's a neurosurgeon who somehow can't recall. let me address your other point. besides the fact that a multi-millionaire somehow doesn't think -- >> greta: is blackmail that's the problem gloria. you are blackmailing, she looks like the creep because she is the rich person against the person who is here illegally who is gonna --
6:28 am
[ talking over each other ] >> greta, hold on. that is complete defamation of character. >> greta: your client lied! >> no, no. >> greta: your client is the liar not meg whitman. >> greta, i would appreciate it if you let me respond that is defamatory to accuse my client or blackmail. meg whitman didn't even pay for'vmyzi2ufdñuxt her for all e worked. >> greta: why do you do this? you referred to your client as rosa parks because she lied and duped meg whitman into thinking she was legal. rosa parks wars an enormous hero to many in the country and ought to be. not someone who lied on a document, dupe add employer and outed her on the eve of an election and accusing her of having knowledge of something her husband wrote and it was innocent to begin with! >> i'll tell you why she is
6:29 am
rosa parks. she is rosa parks and very admired by a lot of people who are latinas and latinos and others who are not, everyone appreciates the huge risk she taking. i want you to know, she appreciates those risks too. she understands that these are enormous risks she's taking by speaking out i know a lot of people like you and a lot of people on fox news channel would like her to be silent -- >> greta: now gloria, don't you dare do that to me. you know i've vented more people than you have in situations -- i've represents more people than you have in situations in terms of people who need representations. don't try to pull that stunt on to say she shouldn't speak out because she is taking a risk somehow she could be deported. she has chosen to do this greta. she is well aware --
6:30 am
>> greta: gloria, i think you chose to do this. i don't buy it. if this women knew that she runs the risk of being deported and maybe she made an admission of lying under oath, i don't know. if she did that, i don't know what you are advising this woman. i would never advise an client to out yourself. you have kids born here in the united states and now she's got this personal mess. >> greta, since you have no idea what the were because you never heard any of the conversations between my client and myself. for to you conclude that i must have told her that he has to do it. growth i didn't say that. >> or -- >> greta: i didn't say that >> or should do it. >> greta: you know what, my goal is not to hurt the client. my goal is to help the client. gloria we gotta go. >> my goal is to support her what she wants to do. >> greta: gloria, thank you. >> next, pop quiz.

6:34 am
the president. 54% would vote for someones. joining us dick morris. of course i should say we probably don't know if we polled all republicans or not but we assume it was across the spectrum. nonetheless, let's talk about the races. what do you see as the three most important races going into the midterms? >> first, about that poll. what i found was fascinating only 41% of the democrats sampled say they would definitely vote for obama for reelection. 74% said they probably would or definitely would. a quarter of all democrats said they would vote for somebody else. which is terrible performance for him. back to your the three most important races are nevada, washington and new york. >> greta: why, let's start with nevada? >> okay. the republicans now have leads in eight states.
6:35 am
north dakota, arkansas, indiana, colorado, pennsylvania, illinois, west virginia and wisconsin. leads in those states. theé that is tied at 44-44. it has been died -- been tied since august 1st. my feeling is harry reid is dead in the water that he's been doing a huge amount of advertising. hasn't been able to move up. most of the undecided goes against the incumbent. then you come to -- that's -- >> greta: let me ask you about. we are off camera we talk to people, both speaker gingrich and karl rove say that senator harry reid is going to lose this race. i've been out to nevada, at this point i think a lot of it is tea leaves. i still think he's going to win by a sizeable margin. he always wins close races.
6:36 am
i wouldn't be surprised if he surprises everybody. >> well, it is not a close race right now. because the -- if i say you are going to be mary to the same person next year and you tell me you are undecided it doesn't say good things about your marriage. when you asked people do you want harry reid to stay on on only 44% say yes and 44% want angle and 12% want undecides -- >> greta: schoppe going to go out and vote? that's the probe -- except, who is going to go out and vote? that's the problem. any way. >> every index shows republicans are much more enthusiastic about voting this year than democrats are. >> greta: that i agree. i've seen that. >> with nevada we only get nine seats. the republicans need 10. i think the most likely 10th seat is in washington state where dino rossi is fighting
6:37 am
patty murray the incumbent democrat. rossi just came out with an ad that is so funny. he says, battery murray says she is fighting for washington. our question is, which one? i thought it was just great. originally, rossi had a little bit of a lead then he lost it and murray was ahead. now rossi is coming back and retaking the lead. that will probably be the 10th seat that is the crucial race now in the country, washington state. >> greta: how about([ç wisconsi? >> wisconsin has won already. feingold is six or seven points behind the republican john. they have to work hard and keep fighting. wisconsin is one of the eight states that republicans lead in that are take aways. the other possible 10th seat is in new york state. where dioguardi who won the primary is only one point
6:38 am
behind gillibrand, who never really was elected. she was appointed to fill hillary clinton's seat. dioguardi has an excellent shot at over taking her. you've got to look at nevada. they have to win that, that's the 9th seat. for the 10th seat it could be washington, new york, it could be connecticut where blumenthal is only four points ahead of mcmahon. and it could be delaware, mcdonnell could come back and it could be fiorina against boxer. the most likely two for the 10th seat are washington and new york right now. >> greta: dick, thank you as always. it is going to be a long month. thank you. >> thank you. >> greta: coming up, the inside story on country music megastar toby keith's new album. he goes on the record, next. >> the one and only rush limbaugh guest starring on a

"toby nice to see you and thank you for joining us. >> good to be here. >> greta: sighting moment, i've been able to get a copy of the music. tell our viewers, what is so different about this one? >> well, i had more songs to pick from. that's the only difference. i write every year at the end of the year i put my brand on 'em and we record 'em. it's the same thing. i didn't do any movies the last couple of years so i had more time to write. i had 50 songs as opposed to 15, 16, 20. >> greta: do you like writing better than performing or performing better than writing? >> they are different. i like doing both. i write a lot by myself.
