tv   America Live  FOX News  October 8, 2010 1:00pm-3:00pm EDT

1:00 pm
>> jon: have yourself a great weekend. jenna: "america live" starts right now. megyn: this is fox news alert, big news on the intelligence front. you will see it right here moments away. president obama about to announce another high profile shakeup of his team. you're looking at live pictures from the rose garden where a news conference is about to begin just hours after fox news confirmed that the commander-in-chief's top national security adviser general james jones is stepping down. the president expected to announce that the deputy national security adviser tom donilon will be jones' replacement. that news and what it means. just the lateness a rash of departures we've had. rahm emanuel. christina romer. larry summers, and on it goes. you'll see it here moments away.
1:01 pm
another fox news alert, the nation's largest bank is now halting foreclosures in all 50 states, all 50 states. and it could have a huge impact on the economy, the housing market, and you the taxpayer. welcome to "america live," everyone on a friday, i'm megyn kelly. this is becoming one of the biggest financial stories since the near total collapse of the u.s. economy, with billions, perhaps trillions on the line the foreclosure process appears to be melting down at this hour. stu varney, anchor of varney & co explains why this is such a big deal. what exactly is bank of america doing, stu. >> reporter: halting all foreclosure proceedings in all 50 states period. calling a halt, that's it stopping it. jenna: not just the -- megyn: not just the 23 states where there were issues with the paperwork. >> reporter: no, every state. it looks imminent, a general nationwide freeze on all foreclosures. that looks to be something that is about to happen.
1:02 pm
if it does happen i think it will, that would drastically slow and already slow, very important real estate market. remember, megyn, one-third of all the homes for sale at this moment are homes which have been foreclosed on. as we speak the housing agencies are sending out emails saying, take those homes off the market, thousands of those emails are going out. that means those homes are no longer for sale. you have frozen a big chunk of the real estate market with significant implications for realtors, real estate agency companies, title insurers, for home buyers, for banks, for taxpayers. it will have an impact on the overall market, the overall economy i should say, slow it down, just on a day when we've lost 95,000 jobs. megyn: we keep looking at the economic numbers and it all keeps coming back to housing, the housing market has not recovered, nothing close to it.
1:03 pm
and as soon as that tax exemption for first time home buyers expired back in the spring the housing market really dovetailed downward. the numbers over the summer were horrible. how does this play in? >> reporter: yes, let me give you a couple of numbers here. so far this year 700,000 houses have been repossessed. that means those people are out on the street, the banks have taken them back, they are gone. they've been repo sewed by lenders. a freeze on foreclosure proceedings means that many of those homes will not be for sale. we are repossessing 2,954 homes each and every day. megyn: wow. >> reporter: if that process is now halted, then the people in those homes right now will probably get to stay in for an extra year or maybe less, but it will be a significant period of time. megyn: who takes a hit on that? the reason they are being looked at for for close is they are not paying. who takes the hit? the bank sits there and doesn't get paid month after month after
1:04 pm
month while this foreclosure halt is in place? >> reporter: yes, if the bank has possession of the home they cannot sell that home so they can't get anything on that home, it sits on their books as a declining asset. megyn: how does that affect other mortgage owners that are with the bank. the banks don't like to hold the hit they like to pass it along. >> reporter: that's a stretch to say that other mortgage holders within the same bank will be directly affected. i'm not sure about that: the bank's books will take a hit. if those mortgages that are owned by the taxpayers through the agencies, fannie and freddie, then the taxpayer takes a hit because there are no monies coming in on the mortgages and it's no longer being repaid and they are not being sold. megyn: it's a big deal to take somebody's house from them, on the other hand they've gone the opposite extreme. >> reporter: there is no he's he solution to this, there is no
1:05 pm
quick fix. it doesn't exist. this foreclosure freeze is inevitable, because the paperwork in many cases is faulty. if you're going to go through the legal process you've got to do it right. that's why they are stopping these foreclosures. there is no fix to this, can't do it quickly. megyn: would have been nice if they could have got even it right from the begin. that's wishful thinking. stu, thank you. fox news alert we are going to the white house now in the rose garden where we expect the president to make the announcement that general james jones is calling it quits and we have a new national security adviser coming in. >> restore american leadership in the world. over the past 20 months that is exactly what we've done. during this time i've relied every day on the advice and counsel of my national security adviser general gym jones. when i talked to jim about taking this job shortly after the election it was a difficult decision for him.
1:06 pm
he had just retired from the military, had a wide range of family obligations, but because of his patriotism, his dedication to keeping america safe we were able to agree that he would serve. we asked that he would serve for about two years. i am extraordinarily thankful to both he and his wife diane that they agreed to make the additional sacrifice to our country. jim has decided to step aside as national security adviser later this month and he will be succeeded by his very capable deputy tom donilon. the american people owe jim an unbelievable debt of gratitude for a lifetime of service. as a marine in vietnam he risked his life for our country and was highly decorated for his courage. as commandant of the marine
1:07 pm
corps he led our marines into the 21st century and won widespread admiration within the corp and beyond. he helped the nato alliance prepare for the new pheugs of our time. given the multiple crises that we inherited jim has drawn on all of these experiences as national security advisers. the list of challenges that our country has faced these last two years is daunting. since my administration took office we have removed nearly a hundred thousand troops and ended our combat mission in iraq. we've refocussed on the war against al-qaida and subjected its leadership to relentless pressure. we are pursuing a new strategy to devote the resources we need in the fight against extremism in afghanistan and pakistan. we've reestablished relations with russia and signed a historic new start treat tree. we have build a broad coalition
1:08 pm
to hold iran accountable and applied pressure through top new sanctions. we have renewed the push for piece in the middle east, and reestablished our leadership in the pacific rim by take being the lead in forcing a response at the global level to the economic crisis. in between we've responded to a range of crises like haiti, and the floods now in pakistan that are required from us as leaders in the world. in short we've spared no effort to keep the american people safe while also repairing old alliances, building new partnerships and restoring america's leadership in the 21st century. through these challenges jim has always been a steady voice in situation room sessions, daily briefings, and in meetings with foreign leaders. also representing our country
1:09 pm
abroad with allies and partners in every region of the world. at the same time he has led an unprecedented reform of our national security staff here at the white house reflecting the new challenges are our time, he put new emphasis on siper -- cyber security, development and climate change and made sure that homeland security is fully integrated into our efforts. serving as national security adviser is one of the most difficult jobs in our government, but through it all jim, like the marine he has always been, has been a dedicated public servant, and a friend to me. after a lifetime of service i know this was also an enormous sacrifice for the jones family. many of them are here today and i want to thank them as well. jim, like your father, and uncle and generations of jones' who served before you you complete this assignment knowing that
1:10 pm
your country is safer and stronger. i thank you and the american people thank you. i am also proud to announce that general jones will be succeeded by his deputy and one of my closes advisers, tom donilon. tom has a wealth of experience that will serve him well in this new assignment. he has served three presidents, and been immerse ned our national security for decades. over last two years there is not a single critical national security issue that has not crossed tom's desk. he has helped manage our national security team and the policy-making process, and won the respect and admiration of his colleagues in the white house and across the administration. he has a probing intellect and a remarkable work ethic although it's one that depends on a seemingly limitless quantity of diet coke. tom, however, is not the only valuable member of the donilon team who works at the white house. his wife kathy who is here has
1:11 pm
done an extraordinary job as joe biden's chief of staff. i'm grateful to the donilon family for all the work that they've already done for our nation and for agreeing to take on this additional responsibility. we have some huge challenges ahead. we remain a nation at war. we will not rest in our efforts to disrupt, dismantle and defeat al-qaida, and above all we are committed to tpoerpbling the kind of american leadership that can shape the world in the 21st century just as we shaped the world in the 20th, a world of greater peace, a world of growing markets and expanding prosperity. a world of shared security, a world where american leadership enlists the support of old allies and knew partners while advancing the values that helped keep us safe and make america the beacon of the world. that is the kind of american leadership that jim jones has always stood for and the kind of
1:12 pm
leadership that tom and my national security team will work for in the years to come. i want to once again personally thank jim for his outstanding service and ask him to say a few words. megyn: you have the president making the news there. we will stream this live on foxnews.com if you'd like to hear the remarks from mr. donilon and general jones. the president saying goodbye to general jim jones a friend and a loyal servant for a couple of years now at the white house and saying hello to tom donilon who will take over as the national security adviser. what does this tell us? what is the real story behind this shift? james is here with the heritage foundation and an expert on homeland security and counterterrorism. james, than that you for being here. the story is that general jones he needed to go, he's tired, two years into the administration, it's not that unusual for staffers to get tired and want to move on. there are other reports that this is about jones' views on
1:13 pm
public policy including the war in afghanistan sro*s those of donilon. >> well, i mean, this is not a new story. we are chaining the cast of characters but the script is the same. there is an obama doctrine, most observers believe general jones was never a central pivotal influential, donilon is much more influential. there is a small group that really make all the decisions, they focus on their pet issues and ignore everything else. the fact that he's no longer there, boy in terms of how we do foreign policy, national security not much is going to change. megyn: do you think it's truly irrelevant that it's basically jones wants to go? if kt mcfarland who is a fox news contributor and worked in several administrations says she thinks this is signaling a policy shakeup because particularly the news in afghanistan has not been good. this guy jones was somebody who
1:14 pm
had supported a reinforced troop presence there where as donilon seems to feel very differently about our presence in afghanistan. >> yeah, i think general jones, quite honestly was there because most observers would say because he was a sorry tired military finger -- figure. but he wasn't terribly influential. there are a couple things that matter when you're the adviser. one is the secretary of state and secretary of defense. we have two figures that are powerful in gates and clinton and very inch few even shall and get along together very well. when that happens the adviser becomes less important. and the nfc adviser is not looked at as someone who is driving the agenda. this is a guy who was a four-star general, he commanded all kinds of things e. was in charge of everybody and now he's just basically a suit that they send around doing stuff. so, you know, not surprising that it wasn't a good fit. megyn: there you have it.
1:15 pm
james is telling us it's really no news, it's a shift, it's not going to change policy. on that note, james i bid you ado breaking news in the case of this american couple allegedly attacked by drug cartels on the border ten days ago. we are now learning that state troopers happened to stop the couple who came under fire just hours before the incident. kris gutierrez is in texas where the search for the body is underway. this new headline is a little strange. does it this i anything to do with what happened on the lake, the fact they were stopped a couple hours earlier. >> reporter: let me put it in perspective for you meg pheug. we learned from our sources down in houston the heart lease were pulled over because they were driving a pick up truck that had mexican license plates while they were pulling a trailer with two jet skis that had texas plates. that became suspicious.
1:16 pm
the heart lease lived in reynosa, so they lived in mexico, so they would have had the mexican plates. everything added up. the state troopers went on his way, the heart lease continued on their way. according to the dash cam video that we are trying to get our hands on right now it shows that timeframe would have been roughly an hour and a half before the alleged shooting took place on the lake behind me. speaking of that lake yesterday i went out with the county sheriff gonzalez out to the area of the international boundary. we didn't see a single mexican boat on that side searching for david hartley and the sheriff suspects he knows why, watch that. >> just beyond that pillar right now is the mexican side of falcon lake. u.s. authorities cannot legally venture into those areas to search, however that is the area that tiffany hartley says she and her husband david were jetskiing last week. officials down here in texas say that is a known area for cartel members. in fact the sheriff here is actually reaching out to the
1:17 pm
zeta cartel for assistance. >> through print media, through television, in english and spanish telling these people, all we want is a body, that's all we want. we can't prosecute, it happened in another country. it didn't happen in another county or state it happened in another country, we can't prosecute. >> reporter: back to the video i want to highlight that i'm told according to the texas department of public safety no sigh takes were given because they apparently didn't do anything wrong. again it's all on video. we're trying to get our hands on it. when we do we'll bring it to you live. megyn: that was an hour and a half prior to the time in which tiffany hartley says her husband was shot on the lake? >> reporter: you're exactly right. and rio grand city is roughly an hour from our location. it takes five minutes to get over to that side of the border. megyn: yes interesting that -- very interesting that will become important. new complaints from the president that conservative groups are funneling millions in secret donations to help republicans in the midterms.
1:18 pm
we did some digging on what the liberal groups are doing. the other side of the story ahead. this duke university student put out a powerpoint presentation ranking the 13 men she slept with while at duke in great detail. it's gone viral with their names. what rights do these young men now have? plus, you have never seen a police chase like this before. when the cop catches up the suspect reaches for his gun, what happens next is truly unbelievable. three minutes away.
1:19 pm
1:20 pm
1:21 pm
megyn: fox news alert a rescue
1:22 pm
now underway in broward county for two private contractors who are injured and trapped inside of a water tower. look at this picture. harris faulkner has the news, she is at the breaking news desk. >> reporter: 150 feet into the wear that water tank had been emptied so maintenance work could go on by the private contractors. they were on scaffolding inside the tank and it gave way. they were working with sandblasting materials, dangerous chemicals, and what the city officials have explained to me is that this is a complicated and dangerous rescue because of the curvature of the walls inside the tank. once they lower some of broward county and hollywood city's best rescue workers into this tower they'll have to then climb along the curved walls to the guys who are down at the bottom. those two workers are down at the bottom and rescue them and bring them out. their injuries are serious. one has a leg injury. the one who had been unconscious for over an hour is now conscious. both men are conscious, that is
1:23 pm
the good news but the rescue attempt goes on as these men have climbed 150 into the air to be lowered into that tower. fingers crossed that they can reach them. they have been able to ventilate some of the chemicals out of there and get water down to the men but it's touch and go. megyn: what a task they have in front of them on friday afternoon, harris, thank you. new details on what is being called a sweetheart healthcare deal for one of president obama's key political backers. teachers unions, will now be exempted from some of the new rules over the healthcare overhaul. what about the rest of the country? alan colmes is host of the alan colmes show and my guest now. this is the united federation of teachers. it is one of his key political backers. they have come to president obama to the health and human services secretary, and said can we please have a waiver from parts of the healthcare law and the answer was yes you can and the accusation is it's political bay pack. >> this is a one year waiver
1:24 pm
that goes to a million people not just in this union also fast-food restaurants like mcdonald's and jack-in-the-box where the insurance companies are offering limited benefit plans and basically would have given the consumer, either raised rates or not given them any insurance. this is to protect the consumer. it is not simply to those who gave money to the obama campaign. it's only for a year until such time as 2014 when the rest of the plan kicks in. i would prefer the whole plan kick in right now. this is for consumer protection. it's not a give back only to those who gave money to the obama campaign. megyn: the reason the administration is granting the waivers is because these unions and mcdonald's and jack-in-the-box have come to the obama administration and said we are going to have to drop our healthcare. >> it's the insurance companies that are doing this. megyn: this is well published last week mcdonald's went to the administration and said we are going to have 115,000 people we will kickoff the medical plans unless we get these waivers. >> wait the insurance company is
1:25 pm
doing it not mcdonald's. megyn: whoever it doing it the obama administration is persuaded. solis even the criticism has been the healthcare plan is essentially falling apart before it even gets started. there are so many problems with the bill we already have millions of people, hundreds of thousands who are getting exemptions under it. >> this is a temporary fix to handle the insurance companies, this is why i favored a single payer plan or a public option to compete with these insurance companies. megyn: sorry but that is gone it didn't happen. >> i am making the argument that this is what should have happened. from a progressive point of view many of us oppose what has happened because we would have had a better plan the other way. the insurance companies that handle jack-in-the-box and some of these unions are saying we're going to raise rate and not insure the temporary workers. the administration is stepping in and saying we are going to protect these consumers from the insurance companies who are falsely saying we are going to
1:26 pm
jack up rates. megyn: the insurance companies are lying and the obama administration is going along with it. >> where the real death panels are they need to have regulation. megyn: if you do say so. >> i do say so. megyn: i'll give you the last word. >> thank you. megyn: kathleen sebelius is coming under fire because she was speaking to an aarp conference and she said that next year, quote, there will be more medicare advantage plan for you to choose from. >> right. megyn: well that is not true. >> correct. megyn: senator chuck grassley sent her a note saying that is not true and what are you going to do about it. and instead of saying i'm sorry i messed up they quietly went on the web and changed the version of the speech to accurately state there will be more meaningful choices instead of there will be more medicare advantage plans. now they've changed that again from instead of there will be more choices there will be better choices. all quietly done. >> not quietly i don't agree
1:27 pm
with that. wait a minute people make mistakes. they acknowledged the miss take. the hhs is saying the fact that the speech has been updated hud have been clearly indicated on the website we are in the process of updating the website as quickly as possible. this is knit picking. megyn: no the critics say this speaks to a greater lack of transparency when it comes to the healthcare overhaul. they find a problem in particular one that is going to affect seniors. they misstate the facts then when caught in it they don't say you know what aarp we screwed up we said there would be more medicare advantage plans and that is true. >> i totally disagree with how it's being framed. they said we screwed up, they acknowledged it. megyn: after they were caught. >> when they realized they had made a mistake they responded. megyn: after it hit the press after grassley raisette -- raised it with them. grassley is saying they should issue a prompt correction. >> he is playing politics.
1:28 pm
megyn: shouldn't she go back to the seniors she misled. >> i don't think it's purposef purposeful. >> reporter: the aarp members may not have time to check the website. kathleen sebelius had said all along you don't like the healthcare form because you're mismiss informed, uri lying on misstatements of the critics of this bill. she made a misstatement. >> they corrected the mistake, it's public, it's on the website, they changed the language, said they are sorry and they correct edit. it's never going to be enough, never enough. megyn: we'll see it it's enough for chuck grassley. >> i hope it's enough for us. megyn: i've had enough of you. >> i'm sure you have. megyn: thanks for being on. an israeli driver being attacked by stone throwers, nowhere to go. one of these palestinian children gets hit by the car. live on the scene just ahead with what happens next. for the second time this week a

1:36 pm
there. they put their lives on the line. it's not like your job or my job. >> reporter: bowles says every time he pulls over somebody, even if they e a pedestrian, he thinks, what's going to happen now. you are always wondering, does he have a gun. he turns around and started firing and the officer had fallen down, couldn't get his gun out. megyn: they have wives and husbands and children they need to worry about. not to excuse bad behavior, but another perspective. trace, thanks. >> reporter: you bet. megyn: a big fight is getting uglier on the campaign trail. president obama ramping up complaints that conservative groups are secretly funneling tens of millions into the elections and democrats are being outsent 7 to 1.
1:37 pm
but a report says liberal groups have compiled $250 million for the democrats. what about that? jason lewis is a her to of "power divided is power checke checked." this has been like an increasing narrative we have seen with president obama and nancy pelosi. president obama says the democrats are getting outspent 7-1. nancy pelosi says it's 8-1. and she actually said they were being outspent $200 million to $7 million. the republicans were spenting $200 million. and the outside groups were only spending $7 million and it turns out this is not true. >> this would make a strawman blush. the afl-cio and seiu announced their campaign pledge of $88 million for this cycle alone. in is running around saying we
1:38 pm
are only going to spend $7 million? i mean, seriously, folks. of course, the new report you mentioned anywhere from $200 million to $250 million total coming from democrats. the campaign media analysis group says democrats have spent far more on actual advertising than republicans. so you have to wonder where are they getting this money. maybe they are borrowing the money, but i doubt it. megyn: it doesn't seem like if you look at these numbers, it does not seem like democrats are being outspent 7-1 or 8-1. >> the real issue is the hijacking of our democracy by shadow groups. nobody knows where that money is coming from. it's coming from oil companies and hedge funds. the supposedly grassroots tea party group is being bankrolled.
1:39 pm
the big story here i think is the fact that the right wing fat cats abandoned the republican party. they are fun can the tea party and those folks together with a billion dollar corporation are going to spend $300 million in this election which is something 2/3 of the american public are against. >> 527 groups coming out of the failed mccain feingold did disclose their billions. that was coming from george soros and others on the left hijacking democracy. the league of women voters which is a left wing group, and they lobby and they campaign. so i don't know where you get this sort of monopoly on hijacking democracy when you have got a litany of 527 groups funded by left wing billion
1:40 pm
airs. you have the league of women voters together same tax status and the karl rove groups. >> are the unions spending money? you bet they are. it's the only way hard working teachers and firemen and get their voice heard. megyn: it's fine for hem to get their voices heard. but you have got the president obama and the speaker of the house of representatives saying it's not so. that they are being outspent 7-1 or 8-1 and blaming the nefarious conservative groups for trying to buy the election when the facts are that you have got unions on record already saying they are experiencing between $200 million to $250 million. >> the right wing groups spent early money putting together a barrage of tv advertisements that we are quite sick of hearing. the labor unions are waiting to spend their money, they are holding out for the ground game to get out the vote.
1:41 pm
megyn: they have chosen a different strategy. >> it's about when that money is being spent. megyn: you are not speaking to my point. the president and nancy pelosi may be misleading the american people on this. >> i think it's when the money is being spent. >> the democratic governor's association in 2009 raised $223 million mostly from corporations including exxon mobil. until until this year goldman sachs has give up more money to democrats than republicans. let's back off this whole corporate takeover of democracy. you need to look in your own backyard it, your party subsidizing wall street or bailing out gm. come on. >megyn: got to leave it at that. i know you clearly have more to say on both sides.
1:42 pm
thank you so much. for decades now we have seen stone throwing in the middle east. but we have never seen an incident quit like this one. just ahead we'll show what happened after things got really bad here. tiffany hartley says her husband was killed by mexican drug gangs and says she may be willing to take a lie detector test. wendy you are in if i says there is very good reason to doubt her story. she is here right after this break. >> are you sure your husband got shot? >> yes. tylenol 8 hour lasts 8 hours. but aleve can last 12 hours. and aleve was proven to work better on pain than tylenol 8 hour. so why am i still thinking about this? how are you? good, how are you?

1:47 pm
polygraph. the most important thing in law enforcement when polygraph questions couple. it's how people react when it comes up. why was she hedging? why may she take a polygraph instead of course i'll take a polygraph. it doesn't mean she is guilty, but they are important. she said when she first described what happened that her husband was shot in the back of the head. she said she witnessed it. then she was on one news program, and she has been doing a lot of them, pointing to the front of her head saying he got shot here. it makes no sense. then of course the most -- then the other thing is folks are saying, when are we going to hear about whether they rented the jet ski, where they got them. what we know which is negative

another heart attack could be lurking, waiting to strike. a heart attack that's caused by a clot, one that could be fatal. but plavix helps save lives. plavix, taken with other heart medicines, goes beyond what other heart medicines do alone, to provide greater protection against heart attack or stroke and even death by helping to keep blood platelets from sticking together and forming dangerous clots.

ask your doctor if plavix is right for you. protection that helps save lives.

2:25 pm
one. americans are enraged about the way healthcare was passed and being shoved down their throats. though there is no national narrative on that. the president himself. they are ceding that. the republicans are saying anybody but them. i think that will work. real event. today's unemployment numbers. losing jobs. this crisis in housing that affects almost every american. megyn: one in five homes the mortgages are in trouble or facing foreclosure. one in eight people are on food stamps. >> this is the reality of america today. a cbs poll this morning. this is driving everybody. americans -- the american way of life our traditions and values, things we stand for are disappearing. 66-32 agreement. that's what is driving the it's a sense of loss.

2:27 pm
congressman dingell, he and his father held that seat in michigan they have for -- since 1932. he's now behind according to the detroit free press poll. you see there have been other indications -- other congressmen yesterday. what the democrats claim and what they do. yesterday the democratic house campaign committee put $200,000 in a massachusetts district, the tenth district trying to hold that seat. you are not spending $200,000 defending your base seat unless you are in real trouble. but republicans may leave a lot on the table. this is not yet resolved. but i think it's going to blow wide open. the tide is coming. megyn: thank you. one mid-term race, racy pictures have surfaced much a female candidate for the house of representatives. the pictures get worse than this. she says it's a political smear.
