jon: here's our must-see moment of the day. aw. a little baby gorilla. 3-month-old tiny is making his debut at the london zoo. his name is tiny. he's 1 foot tall. jenna: baby godzilla right there. jon: that's right. thanks for joining us. jenna: "america live" starts right now. megyn: i love him. i love tiny. thanks, guys. tom news alert, everyone. the most dramatic sign yet of how bad the budget crisis is getting, as the wisconsin legislature meets, the governor says that they're ready to call out the national guard. welcome to "america live." i'm megyn kelly. governor scott walker is trying to fill a budget hole without

raising taxes. he is saying that he's ready to mobilize national guard troops if he needs to to deal with the fallout from the union workers. trace gallagher, is this unprecedented? i think it is. >> reporter: it is, indeed, megyn. the state of wisconsin has 175,000 public employees. experts say most of them are going to be very angry if this passes. even republicans who support this are saying this may set off a firestorm at the state capital, which is why the governor, scott walker, says he's willing to mobilize the national guard for "whatever repercussions arise." the governor is going to take away collective bargaining rights, meaning that salaries will be frozen.

any other increases would have to be voted on. the contracts would last one year. public employers could no longer collect union dues, but workers would have to contribute 5.8% of their salary to their pension fund, 12.6% to healthcare costs. here's governor walker. listen. >> what we're doing is eliminating the requirement that governments at the state and local level have to collect dues. i would much rather make these modest changes than lay thousands upon thousands of state and local employees off. >> reporter: wisconsin has had collective bargaining for 50 years and the democrats in the state, their hands are pretty much tied because the republicans control both the state assembly and the state senate by pretty fair margins. here now is a public employee weighing in. >> the governor's budget repair

bill's purpose is to destroy the collective bargaining. >> reporter: fire and police are exempt from the bill. megyn: the aquisition is that it's payback to cops and firefighters that got behind this governor in his race for the statehouse, which is what has so many of the other workers ticked off, claiming it's political payback by the governor to those unions, but not to their unions, would have been shut down when it comes to collective bargaining. it's quite a unilateral action. he needs control of the legislature, but it's republican-controlled. we're going to be joined by a democrat from that state next hour. also, we'll have late-breaking details about what we've learned about his plan and what it means for the unions and

whether this could happen in other states sometime soon. another fox news alert. president obama sending a new message to the iranian people about an hour ago, saying he hopes they will have the courage to express their thirst for freedom. today their thirst for freedom brought out the riot police. megyn: the iranian government cracking down on opposition protesters in tehran and other locations. two people have been killed, many others injured and arrested. steve centanni is live in washington. as we watch the pictures from iran, we're reminded, it is no egypt. >> reporter: that's right. and offering very little comparison to egypt. in iran, appeals for freedom

were met with violence and oppression. two people were killed in an opposition rally monday. an opposition website said that 1,500 people were arrested. president obama commented on the situation at today's news conference. >> send a strong message it our allies in the region saying, let's look at egypt's example, as opposed to iran's example. i find it ironic that you have the iranian regime pretending to celebrate what happened in egypt when, in fact, they have acted in direct contrast to what happened in egypt by gunning down and beating people who were trying to express themselves peacefully in iran. >> reporter: and the iranians

accuse the u.s. of meddling in domestic affairs. there will be a committee to decide how to deal with the opposition leaders. iran has tried scores of activists in connection with mass protests in 2009. if you remember, more thanity people were sentenced to prison terms, ranging from six months to 15 years. megyn? megyn: steve, thank you. we're getting a warning from pakistan today. the u.s. should expect trouble if an embassy worker is freed from pakistani custody. raymond davis is accused of killing two pakistanis. he said that it was self-defense, that they were trying to rob him. it's sparked protests in pakistan and increased tensions between our nations. pakistan, of course, crucial in connection with our war on terror. massachusetts senator john kerry is scheduled to meet with pakistani officials today.

the u.s. argues that davis, seen earlier, has diplomatic immunity. now this is turning into an international diplomatic crisis. we'll have much more on this in a live report upcoming. this alert out of washington. president obama wrapping up a news conference in the last hour, trying to defend the $3.7 trillion budget proposal to critics who say it doesn't go nearly far enough. >> we've piled up, racked up a bunch of debt and there's a lot of interest on that debt. in the same way if you have a credit card and you have a big balance, you may not be adding to principle. megyn: mike emanuel live at the white house. this press conference was scheduled this morning. the president's budget was

criticized from those on the left and those on the right in terms of not doing enough to tackle spending. what did the president say about that today? >> reporter: you get a sense that the president's team was stung by "the washington post" calling him "punter in chief." neither party wants to go first in terms of laying out an entitlement plan, fearing it will put a bull's eye on that plan. here's the president on that issue. sfwl -- this is not a matter of you go first or i go first. it's a matter of everybody have a serious conversation about where we want to go. and then ultimately getting in that boat at the same time so it doesn't tip over. and i think that can happen. >> reporter: i had a chance to

ask the president about job creation, which is a number one concern for many americans. a lot of people see tax increases. that will hit employers, whether it's energy, payroll taxes, or higher income tax. and the president said, there have to be tough choices made. i went back at him and said, sir, what if they say cut spending before you raise taxes on anybody and he said there will have to be an adult conversation between both sides, a signal that there may be compromise there. perhaps some of the tax increases and spending proposals in that budget are negotiable. megyn: he said to you there needs to be an adult conversation on that. another reporter asked him about a deficit commission that came out with recommendations that were promptly ignored and the president said, well, the deficit commission provides a framework for conversation and basically said that his critics

need to be more patient. thank you. >> reporter: thank you, megyn. megyn: click on foxnews.com, it's your resource for what it means for your wallet. again, foxnews.com/politics. you will see it laid out right there. embarrassing and worrisome, all at the same time. serene branson tongue-tied. i take it back. i don't think it was embarrassing. she suffered a heath problem. some are wondering if she had a stroke. she is saying that nothing happened and she's doing fine. our doctor has a warning for the rest of us about what it could mean for young people in general. serious new questions after a top security official tells a reporter that a weapon of mass destruction was found on u.s. soil. see what happened when we did a little more digging. plus, new reaction on a

controversial case out of california. a muslim student group shouting an israeli diplomat off the stage. we'll hear from the district attorney who is being called a bigot just for filing these charges.

everyone has someone to go heart healthy for. who's your someone? campbell's healthy request can help. low cholesterol, zero grams trans fat,

and a healthy level of sodium. it's amazing what soup can do. megyn: new reaction now in a controversial case we showed you yesterday. there are new calls today for a california district attorney to drop criminal charges against members of a muslim student group on the u.c.-irvine campus that interrupted a speech with calls of "baby killer" and "war criminal." watch. now over 100 university faculty members are demanding that the

district attorney drop charges, even professors at other universities are expressing outrage. one yesterday on this show leveled serious accusations against the d.a. >> i think the district attorney is targeting these students because they're muslim students and they're expressing an unpopular point of view. in my opinion, this amounts to limiting their speech based on content, which is prohibited. i question the d.a.'s motives behind this prosecution and i think his likening them to the ku klux klan shows his motivation, if anything else. megyn: joining me now, orange county d.a. we wanted to give you a chance to respond.

her point was that they've been dealt with by the university and don't need to have the police look into it. >> what we have here is a situation not of a demonstration or somebody just attempting to indicate their point of view, but it's a conspiracy to stop the speaker from getting his ideas across at all and to completely shut down not just the speaker, but anybody from being able to listen to him. it's a violation of the law. it's a violation of the law that we have to not disturbed or disrupt lawful meetings. i don't think it matters what the particular group is, if it's a religion or another political group. we have a clear violation here and i think it's important to

uphold the first amendment by bringing this charge. megyn: she came on saying you were targeting the students because they're muslim, you don't like their point of view, and there's another person named katie escobar, a fourth-year urban studies major at the university and a member of students for justice in palestine, saying it smacks of "islamaphobia." and that hecklers at other events have not been criminally charged. last year norman finklestein and heidi epstein were interrupted by people hurling personal insults at them. cynthia mckinnie was interrupted in 2009 and police did nothing there. she thinks that it's because they're muslims. >> it's not. these people have every right to speak and to demonstrate and to get their points across in

any lawful manner and they were asked to keep their disturbances or at least their demonstration lawful, which they had every right to do. this went beyond that. it's a conspiracy to shut down the speaker. it was well planned and executed with the idea to stop him from speaking, to stop anybody from listening to his speech and to stop him from ever wanting to come back to this campus to give a speech or share his ideas. i think it goes well beyond demonstration and getting your points of view across to attempting to shut down another person's freedom of speech and the right that the people have on campus to hear those ideas and exchange ideas. megyn: let me ask you this. the law professors that wrote you the letters asking you to dismiss, and professors in general, over 100. they say, look, we suspended

this muslim student union for a quarter. they've performed community service. there's been a rift on campus between jewish students and this group and we're just now starting this healing process. the last thing we need is to reignite the fire by having a case in criminal court. your response to that? >> my response is that these people need to be able to accept responsibility for what they did. these are misdemeanor charges. it's not a big, serious felony case. we used discretion to charge misdemeanors to, like i say, hold them responsible. the fact that there was discipline on campus or by the university, of course, that will be considered heavily in what the remedy might be in the case. megyn: what is so wrong with what they did. the professor that was on here yesterday said, he kept

speaking, he had bodyguards. he stopped a couple of times, but he made his remarks and they made theirs? >> i think he's wrong. i think they did shout him down. one person at a time shouted him down, got arrested, and took up the entire meeting. i disagree with the professor that said that. we've had discussions with the university chancellor and other professors. we're following the law here and i have a beauty to do that. i have a sworn duty to uphold the constitution and freedom of speech is a big part of that. so what we're doing here is to protect the speech to share their ideas with the rest of us. megyn: the defenders of the students are very worried about freedom of speech now. they weren't that worried the day that the ambassador came to

speak at u.c.-irvine. the professor yesterday said that your spokeswoman said, "if we were silencing the ku klux klan, nobody would be bringing us the charges." the very fact that she likened the muslim student union to the k.k.k., proves the point that there's a bias on the d.a.'s part. >> that's a stretch. the point being made by our spokesperson is that it doesn't matter who it is. if they're violating the law, they're violating the law, and we'll, of course, bring charges. megyn: thank you for being on today. all the best to you, sir. >> thank you. megyn: we're getting what may be the best news we've heard in a while about our oil future. the breakthrough that could

change america's energy situation for decades to come. we're learning more about the man who terrorized new york for 24 hours with a stabbing spree. i'm robert shapiro. over a million people have discovered how easy it is to use legalzoom for important legal documents. at legalzoom we'll help you incorporate yr business, file a patent, make a will and more you n complete our onlineuestions in minutes. thewe'll prepare your legal documents and delivethem directly to you. so start your business, protect your famy, launch your dreams. atlegalzoom.com we put the law on your side.

megyn: a frightening discovery near a playground in colorado springs. someone found a live grenade that still had the pin in it all wrapped up in tape. police say if this thing would have exploded, it would have killed anyone within 15 feet. people that saw the grenade cannot believe their eyes. >> i felt like i am glad to be alive today. >> did it scare you?

>> yeah, it's scary. kids are here. what if it had gone off? >> it's crazy. megyn: like parents don't have enough to wory about. you are worrying about broken bones, scrapes, bruises. that grenade has been destroyed, but police are trying to put the pieces back together to try to do tests to figure out who left it in the park in the first place. politicians have been talking about the need for energy independence for years. now word comes it may be closer to becoming reality. we're learning about a new drilling method capable of tapping into previously out-of-reach oil fields. critics call it environmentally questionable. supporters say it could reduce the amount of oil we import. eric bolling, joins us. what is it? >> reporter: this is the

traditional method of drilling, straight through the rock. here's the new method. it goes down a ways and turns. it's able to access oil fields on horizontal fields. since 2007, tens of billions of dollars have been invested into three or four pockets and they're finding it a fantastic way to get oil out of the ground of the e.p.a. is looking into it as to whether or not drilling this way there cause the oil -- here's what happens, they shoot what are into the rock and bring the oil or natural gas out. they're concerned some of the water may drop into the water table. in 2004, the e.p.a. found this method safe. this could really, really help out our dependence on foreign oil. megyn: why? how much can it speed up our own processing? >> bingo. two billion barrels a day

within the next four or five years. right now, megyn, we drill eight to nine million barrels a day of our own oil and we buy 12 million barrels of oil a day. megyn: how concerned is the e.p.a. about the oil potentially getting into the water supply. nobody wants that. is it legit? are they very, very concerned about that? >> reporter: sure, but look at my chart. both drill to the water table. it's below both the oil pockets. either method technically could produce oil into the water table. again, it was found safe in 2004 and now they're going to look at it again to see if some of it causes it to drop down. legitimate concerns, but if they find it safe, it could be

a very, very positive method. megyn: that could be big. eric, thank you. you can check out eric on fox business network monday through friday, 9:00 p.m. eastern time, except thursdays, where he's on at 10:00. the nephew of a dalai lama set out on a mission yesterday and now he's dead. more information on the tragedy that took his life. the assistance port director in san diego suggested that a weapon of mass destruction was intercepted. he said, not at that point, but made clear someplace it happened. we'll show you what we found right after the break. >> you are looking for the dirty bomb, looking for a nuclear device. >> correct. >> have you ever found one? >> not at this location. >> but they've found them?

with the media. now we've gotten a look at the entire interview. trace gallagher live in our west coast newsroom with more. trace? >> reporter: as soon as we did this story, every state and federal security agency began working overtime trying to knock it down, saying that the property inspector was nervous or flat-out wrong. we went back to look at the interview to see if he was taken out of context. he was not. we checked to see if there was creative editing or cut short. he was not. i want to play you the sound bite again. watch his eyes and listen when the p.i.o. starts to jump in, right. >> specifically, you are looking for the dirty bomb, a nuclear device? >> correct, weapons of mass effect. >> have you ever found one?

>> not at this location. >> but they've found them? >> yes. well -- >> offcamera, the public affairs officer interrupted. >> you never found one in san diego? >> not at the port of san diego. >> have you found one in san diego? >> we're just talking about the port of san diego. we'll follow up later. >> reporter: again, the p.i.o. said she will follow up. this is al haller. he is a customs and border protection officer. he's in his mid 40s. his pay scale is about $90,000 a year, which is a high position within this administration. he has act -- access to a great deal of information. we cannot find any record of

him doing any prior interviews. and customs and border protection issued this statement after the story ran yesterday. >> reporter: very adamant in their denial. he said there were weapons of mass event, not in san diego, but somewhere, didn't specify. and now they're saying, absolutely not. megyn? megyn: so al had not done any interviews prior to this one and you can bet he won't be doing any now. >> reporter: he won't be doing anymore, that we could find, we should say. megyn: he says it's so. now you have officials saying he's wrong, "simply inaccurate." we'll let our viewers judge who

they believe on that. did he look confused? trace, thank you. fox news alert out of the white house right now. white house awarding the presidential medal of freedom to some very familiar faces. leading the list, former president george herbert walker bush, he and 14 others receiving the highest honor for a civilian. molly henneberg joins us. >> there is symmetry there. yes. former president george h.w. bush will be the sixth former president to get the medal of freedom award, which was established in 1945 by harry s. truman. the last time a president was honored was 1999 when president

carter and president ford received it. four first ladies have received the awards as well. 41, as he's known, is being honored for his one term in office and his humanitarian work out of office, for example, the fundraising effort to raise money for the asian tsunami and hurricane katrina and haiti earthquake. 15 people will get the honor today and they come from a wide range of fields -- megyn: we're seeing our former president walk in with some assistance, but he's looking good. he's coming in to take his seat, as are the other recipients. molly, go ahead. my apologies. megyn: i'm >> reporter: i'm glad you let our viewers know that. you also will have warren

buffett, john lewis, john sweeney, president of the afl-cio from 1995 to 2009. yo-yo ma and bill russell. they will be honored in the east room today. it should be getting under way any minute. megyn: who decides who will get these medals of freedom? >> reporter: it's a group of people, but the president ultimately decides. these are president obama's choices. he's advised by a lot of people about who should receive this. megyn: we're seeing, obviously, a range. john lewis, no conservative, and then george bush, no liberal. it seems to be a nonpartisan-type thing. >> reporter: that's one of the things about this medal of freedom. it is also bipartisan, nonpartisan, a civilian honor that presidents can give out to

people they select. and it's a wide spectrum of people. megyn: we're looking at some of the cast of characters coming out here, including i think that's dan musial in the red jacket, baseball hall-of-famer, that was screen right moments ago. there will also be basketball hall-of-famer bill russell, warren buffett, yo-yo ma and maya angelou. let's listen to president obama. ♪ >> thank you, so much. everyone, please be seated. and welcome to the white house. some of you have been here

before. this is one of the things that i most look forward to every year, a chance to meet with and more importantly honor some of the most extraordinary people in america and around the world. president kennedy once said during a tribute to the poet robert frost that "a nation reveals itself not only by the men and women it produces, but by the men and women that it honors, the people it remembers." i agree. when you look at the men and the women that are here today it, says something about who we are as a people. and we award this medal to congressman john lewis. it says that we aspire to be a

more just, more equal, more perfect union. when we award it to a jasper johns, it says we honor the imaginitive. when we award it to a warren buffett, it says, we don't like to be so humble and wise and maybe make a little money along the way. [laughter] and when we award it to former president george h.w. bush, it says that we celebrate an extraordinary life of service and sack river ice. -- sacrifice. this year's medal of freedom recipients reveal the best of who we are and who we aspire to be. in 1970, john adams and a handful of unpaid attorneys and law students set up an environment law firm in new

york city. for 36 years, john is at at same desk, but the group he co-founded, the natural resources defense council, grew well beyond him. our first obligation is to the environment. if people want to protect the environment, we'll support their efforts. if not, we'll play hardball. with more than one million members, they've won cases and helped to pass laws to clean up our air, water, protect our forests, wildlife, and keep our climates safe. "rolling stone" put it best, "if the planet has lawyer, it's john adams." as a girl, marguerite anne johnson endured trauma and

abuse that led her to stop speaking. as a performer and writer, poet, maya angelou found her voice, a voice that's spoken to millions, including my mother, which is why my sister is named maya. by holding on amidst cruelty and loss, allowing it expand to passion, ability to love, by holding on to her humanity, she's inspired countless others who have known misjustice and misfortune in their own lives. i will not try to say it better than maya angelou who wrote, "history, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived. when faced with courage, need not be lived again.

lift up your eyes to the daybreaking before you. give birth to the dream." in 1942, an 11-year-old boy from omaha, nebraska, invested his fortune in six shares of city services preferred at $38 a share. the stock soon droned sharply, devastating his holdings. true to form, the boy did not panic. he held the shares until it rebounded, earning a small profit. things got a little better after that. today we know warren buffett as one of the world's richest men, but one of the most admired and respected. unmoved by financial fads, he's doggedly sought out value, put his weight behind companies with promise and demonstrated

that integrity isn't just a good trait. it's good for business. yet for all the money he's earned, you don't see warren buffett wearing fans yes suits or driving fancy cars. instead, you see him devoting the vast majority of his wealth for those around the world who are suffering, sick, or in need of help. and he uses his stature as a loader to press others of great means to do the same. a philanthropist is a lover of humanity and no word fits warren buffett better. i should point out, is he so thrifty i had to give him a white house tie the last time he was here. his was looking shredded. when bill gates came, he wanted one, too. [laughter]

it's been noted that jasper johns' work playing off familiar images have transfixed people around the world. historians will tell you that he helped to usher in the artistic movements that define the latter half of the 20th century. many would say, he's one of the greatest artists of our time. yet he says, i'm just trying to find a way to make pictures. like great artists before him, jasper johns pushed the boundaries of what it should be. he didn't do it for fame or success, though he earned both. he said, "i assumed that everything would lead to complete failure, but i decided it didn't matter. that would be my life." we're richer as a society

because it was. and, jasper, you turned out fine. when you are among the youngest of nine children, you develop a sense of empathy. when those children are the kennedys, you develop a sense of diplomatic skills just to be heard. those traits helped jean kennedy smith follow her siblings into public service. when president kennedy visited ireland in 1963, he promised he would be back in springtime. it was left it jean to return for him. as ambassador, she helped brave young men and women see past the scars of violence and mistrust and come together to forge a lasting peace.

jean also founded the d.s.a. program, helping people with disabilities to discover the arts. today her mission has spread to 50 countries and touched millions of lives, ensuring that the family business remains alive and well. by the time she was 21, gerta klein had spent six years living under nazi rule, three of them in con sensation camps. her parents and brother had been taken away. her best friend had died in her arms during a 350-mile death march. and she weighed only 68 pounds when she was found by american forces in a bicycle factory. she survived. she married the soldier that rescued her. as an author, historian and

crusader for tolerance, she's taught the world that it's often in our most hopeless moments that we discover the extent of our strength and depth of our love. i pray you never stand at any crossroads in our own lives, but if you do, if the darkness seems so total, if you think there is no way out, remember, never, ever, ever give up. that would be familiar to our next honoree. students first refused to leave lunch counters 51 years ago this february. "if not us, then who? if not now, then when?" it's a question that john lewis has been asking his entire life.

it's what led him back to the bridge in selma after he had been beaten within an inch of his life days before. it's why came and again he faced down death so all of us could share equally in the joys of live. it's why all these years later, he's known as the conscience of the united states congress, still speaking his mind on issues of justice and equality. and when parents teach their children what is meant by courage, the story of john lewis will come to mind. an american that knew that the change could not wait. an optometrist from new york, tom little could have sought a lucrative career. instead, he worked in

afghanistan. for 30 years, amid invasion, civil war, terror of taliban, spread of insurgency, he and his wife libby helped to bring afghans the miracle of sight. last summer, tom and his team were ambushed and senselessly murdered. today we remember and honor dr. tom little, a humanitarian in the truest sense of the word. a man that dedicated his life to others and dedicated his life to the scripture, "no greater love than this for a man to lay down his life for his friends." yo-yo ma has been a concert cellist since the age of 5. despite being a late bloomer. [laughter]

he win the on to record over 75 albums and win 16 grammys, which means i'm 14 behind him. while yo-yo could have settled for being the world's greatest cellist, behind that, is his zest for people. i can attest to that. he's trained and mentored students from lebanon to korea to the iraqi symphony orchestra. a member of my community on arts and the humanities, he's been named a messenger of peace by the u.n. "when we enlarge our view of the world, we deepen the understanding of our own lives." for sylvia mendez, a life-long

quest for equality began when she was 8. outraged that she had to attend a different school, sylvia's parents linked arms with other families to fight in court, a case that would pave the way for brown vs. board of education. when a classmate taunted sylvia saying that mexicans didn't belong that, she went home in tears, begging to leave the school. her mother told sylvia, don't you realize, that's why we went to court. you are just as good as he is. sylvia took those words to heart and she's made it her mission to spread a message of tolerance and opportunity to children of all backgrounds and walks of life. growing up in communist east germany, theres with a dream of freedom and became the first

east german to be chancellor of germany. to me, she's a trusted partner and friend. to people around the world, the story is an inspiration. everything is possible, she said. something that the world has seen again in recent weeks. freedom does not come about of itself. it must be struggled for and defended anew every day of our lives. chance letter merkel isn't here today. she will be visiting me for a visit -- official visit soon, so i look forward to presenting that award when she gets back. stan musial, his brilliance, hitting five home runs in a single day's double-header, leading the league in singles, doubles, triples and r.b.i.s over a single season.

three world series. first ballot hall-of-famer. worthy of one of the greatest nicknames in sports, stan the man. my grandfather was stan, by the way. i used to couple him the man, too. stan musial made that brilliance burn for two decades. stan matched his hustle with humility. he retired with 17 records, even as he missed a season in his prime to serve his country in the navy. he was the first player to make -- get this -- $100,000. even more shocking, he asked for a pay cut when he didn't perform up to his own expectations. you can imagine that happening today.

[laughter] stan remains to this day an icon, untarnished, a beloved pillar of the community, a gentleman you would want your kids to emulate. i hope i've given baseball nearly as much as i've gotten from it, stan wrote in his memoirs, knock ing it out of the park one more time. when bill russell was in junior high, he was cut from his basketball team he got better after that. in 13 seasons with the boston celtics, he won 11 championships. a record unmatched in any sport. won two while serving as coach and he also was the first

african-american ever to hold such a position as a coach in a major league sports team of any sort. more than any athlete of his era, bill russell came to define the word winner. and yet whenever someone looks up at all 6'9" of bill russell -- i just did and i feel small next to him -- and asks, are you a basketball player? he gets this more than you think. he says, no. that's what i do. that's not what i am bill russell, the man, stood up for the rights and dignity. he marched with king. he stood by ali. when the restaurant refused to serve the black celtics, he

refused to play. he kept on focusing on making the teammates who he loves better players. and made possible the success of so many that would follow. and i hope that one day in the streets of boston children will look up at a statue built not only to bill russell the player, but bill russell the man. the bronx-born son of irish immigrants, john sweeney, was shaped by three things, his family, his mother was a maid, his father a bus driver. the church taught him obligations to ourselves and one another.

>> family, faith, fidelity to the common good. these are the values that made john sweeney who he is. the values at the heart of the labor movement of the world's greatest middle class. finally we recognize our last recipient not simply for the years he spent as our 41st president. we honor george herbert walker bush for service that spanned nearly 70 years from a decorated navy pilot, he nearly gave his life in world war ii, from ambassador to the united nations, cia director, u.s.

envoy to china, the vice presidentsy. this life is a testament that public service is a noble calling. he expand his service to new immigrants and people with disabilities. he reduced nuclear weapons. he ex-prime ministered a dictator from kuwait. when democratic revolutions swept across europe it was the steady hand of president bush that made possible an achievement once thought impossible, ending the cold war without firing a shot. i would add that like the remarkable barbara bush, his humility and decency reflects the very best of the american spirit. those of you who know him, this is a gentleman. inspiring citizens to become points of light in service to

others. teaming up with a one-time political oh own don't champion relief for the victims of the asian tsunami and hurricane katrina. then in the 80s, he decides to jump out of airplanes. he explained, it feels good. these are the recipients of the 2010 medal of freedom. so now it is my great pleasure and honor to present them with their medals.

megyn: what a moment for our former president and 14 others at the white house this afternoon. a non-partisan event honoring the service and contributions of so many. names we are familiar with and some we are not familiar with. the president singling out our former president george herrer walker bus -- georgeherbert wal, gentleman. when he got in his 80s he decided to jump out of airplanes. and talking about angela merkel. representative john lewis. poet maya angelou. a beautiful ceremony at the white house to reck these their

contributions -- to recognize their contributions to our country. good for them. we have a fox news alert. we are getting brand-new reaction to what could be the most dramatic budget standoff we have seen to date. welcome, i'm megyn kelly. the wisconsin state legislature meeting in special session as governor scott walker tries to close a $3.5 billion budget gap without raising taxes. he is targeting union powers to negotiate certain benefits. basically shutting count ability to collective bargaining. now he's putting the national guard of wisconsin on alert for any state core service disruptions. i.e., prison staffers who decide if we can't engage in collective bargaining we'll walk off the job. and there has been talk of

strikes. peter barka says calling this a power grab is an understatement. thanks so much for being here with us. we have been seeing this play out in many states where you are in the red big time. and you have got more and more governors saying i don't want to do it, but i have to do it. we heard chris christie in new jersey saying this. what your governor in wisconsin says is i don't have anything to negotiate with the unions. he says we are broke. we don't have any money to offer. so what choice did i have. to him you say what? >> two years ago we faced a budget deficit almost twice as large and we found a way to close the gap without permanently ending virtually all collective bargaining rights for employees. wisconsin values are governors of both parties have the courage to sit across the table with their employees and negotiate in

good faith. that's what we expect him to do. megyn: he would be going through the motions because he has nothing he can offer to those unions. he can't give races. h -- he can't giveraises. and he says that's a reality your state right now. >> we had a contract that just came forward and that's -- employees understand they have to engage in shared sacrifice. it's another thing to permanently and 50 years of labor history in the state for collective bargaining started for miewf this pal workers. megyn: the governor's response is if he doesn't do this he will have to lay off 6,000 state employees and remove 200,000 children from the medicaid

program. >> not true. the governor states that but that's not the case. as i indicated two short years ago we faced a budget deficit far more significant than this and we found solutions. megyn: did you raise taxes? >> we closed loopholes in a couple different categories. megyn: so that's a yes. this governor has a different approach. he's a rep. republicans. he doesn't want to raise taxes. he said i'm not going to hit the taxpayers with a tax hike. i'm going to make these unions pay some money towards their healthcare and pensions. >> they agreed to do that. the issue is not about benefits at this point. it's about basic rights as working people. megyn: but the point of shutting

count collective bargaining, what are they going to collectively bargain over if is' not salary and benefits. >> nurses who work in hospitals have safety issues that they confront. emts. teachers who cheech our children have ideas about curriculum and improving student performance. those are things we always bargained about. if he shuts this down for two years or four years until we are in a better fiscal position perhaps people can understand it. but we have tens of thousands of people protesting in our capital because that's not we did. he's permanently ending 50 years of sitting across the table and collectively bargaining. megyn: this goes through the state assembly. he's asking for the state law makers to pass it.

do you think he will? he has the republicans in control there. >> he does have to pass it. but unlike the governors in ohio and new jersey to authored a regular bill, going through the process. they had hearings over a period time. he's trying to ram it through the legislature in six days. unprecedented. i have been involved in politics for 0 year -- involved in politr 30 years and i have never seen anything like it. megyn: all the best to you. we have a fox news alert with breaking news on a new federal push on breast feeding. that's becoming political. michelle obama promoting breast feeding as part of her campaign to fight child obesity.

the i.r.s. has reversed itself and will allow breast pumps to be tax writeoffs. moments ago republican congressman michele bachmann challenging that idea saying these efforts give new meaning to the term nanny state. sandy is a fox news contributor. and panel, thanks so much for being with us. michele bachmann criticizing the first lady. her office says, we are working to promote breast feeding. in particular in the black community which according to the first playedy where babies never get breast fed, even if the first weeks of life. >> there is nothing wrong with promoting breast feeding. 75% of american women already

breast feed. we are talking about a problem that is specifically in the black communities. so for you to change federal law and i.r.s. regulations and start forcing businesses to make acome daightss for nursing women at their own expense to promote it in the black community is the problem i have with it. this is the nanny stayed on steroids. megyn: she made reference to a separate thing under the healthcare reform act more and more businesses are required to give nursing mothers private space where they can express milk. the first lady and the i.r.s. have made efforts to facilitate breast feeding and you are seeing politicians say butt out. >> you know better than i do the significant benefits that breast feeding has. it's very good for the baby it's good for the mother. what this tax credit is doing and also the federal work rules

is it's helping even out the playing field. it's alloying some women who don't have access to breast feeding to make the choice to breast feed their children. 30% of working women stop breast feeding if and they say the reason is their boss doesn't give them the time to breast feed. they don't have a break and they don't have the time to breast feed. if we know the significant benefits why not try to make it available to all women. this is a personal choice. if you look at low income mothers. breast feeding, nursing supplies can cost between $500 to $1,000 a year. a low-income mother won't be able to afford -- megyn: you know how much formula costs? a lot more than that. >> that may not be the case. it's fundamentally unfair to not give the opportunity to lower income women to have the

option -- megyn: what i'm saying is you are going to spend $1,000 a year on formula. at least several hundred. why don't they get a writeoff? why is it just the breast pumps? >> i think the difference is -- formula, i don't know how much it costs. maybe it's $5 every week. megyn: more than that. >> if you want to buy a good breast pull it will cost you $300. maybe welfare will cover formula about it won't cover the base pump. why as an economically disadvantaged woman, you make the decision to go back into the workplace. if you don't have the $300 for the breast pump you are not going to be able to go to work or to breast feed your children. >> it's just nonsense.

low-income women don't itemize deductions first of all. south won't help too many people. michelle obama wants to help women in the black community, i'm in favor of that. but to force employers to provide a place for mothers to nurse and time off to nurse or to pump is not right. talk about fairness. you are going to make business owners at this name our economy accommodate nursing mothers at their experience? i say equal pay for equal work does not apply here. megyn: what is a nursing mother suppose to do. you are trying to give your baby breast milk. what are you supposed to do? >> are you supposed to go into the bathroom stall to breast feed your child? economically this makes sense. there was a study published by harvard medical school that stated 90% of american women

were able to breast feed their children we would see savings of $13 billion a year annually in lost wages and healthcare. megyn: let me ask you this, sandy. is there a point to be made that the first lady should not be opining on this because there is a lot of pressure on women to breast feed and it's not the easiest thing in the world to do. and when they aban don't there is a significant -- and when they abandon it, there is a stigma attached to it. >> i'm not so concerned about that. i am concerned, however, with her trying to dictate and impose her ideas on women of all stripes which is what i believe she is doing in this case. i think breast feeding is wonderful. to the point of wet or one should have a room. if a boss doesn't accommodate if you want to pump you should find a different boss.

but to give time off to do it -- megyn: the bosses weren't doing it. you work in the newsroom. you are sitting in a cubby. if you are a nursing mom, what are you going to do, whip out your breast pump in your cubby with dozen of people watching you? >> we need to talk to roger ailes. >> they gave me an office. >> i feel for my fellow women in the newsroom. >> you can't impose that on employers. megyn: i can and i apparently have. thank you, ladies. by the way, not right now, not today, but soon, i'm going to have a little special comment of my own on what you should and should not say to a pregnant woman. i did this right give had my

son. my second pregnancy has brought a whole new host of experience. i'll give a place holder until i get the that special comment. you look great. that many all you have to say. no more comments about another woman's body. especially if you don't know me. dot comment on my body. okay. we are learning more about a strange and disturbing death on a florida highway. the nephew of the dalai lama hit and killed by a car as he was taking part in a charity walk for tibet. >> reporter: he was killed on flagler beach about 7:30 last night. the highway patrol is trying to investigate how he died. he was only 3 minutes away from

a restaurant called tj's seafood shack which is where the rest of his colleagues were meting. the florida highway patrol says it's unclear if he what is on the road or just off the road. and they are still talking about charging the driver in this case. though they said no alcohol appears to be involved. more from the tibetan restaurant. his late far it is the brother of the dalai lama. the dalai lama issued a statement saying he's saddened about it death of his nephew. but the florida highway patrol is investigating this accident. megyn: now to a medical question getting attention nationwide. california kcbs reporter branson was reporting live from if the grammy award when she suddenly

had problems speak. some some of the doctors who watched this clip say it looks like branson may have had a stroke. watch. >> a very, very heavy -- we had a very -- [inaudible] meg dr. marc siegel is a professor of medicine at nyu medical center. my heart goes out to her. there is clear there was something medical going on. that wasn't nerves. it's not an embarrassing moment. she was suffering from a health issue and it raises questions what that health issue is. she says she is fine now. but having tests. and whether other young people need on worried about this if they suffer similar symptoms. >> we all searched for words on tv but this was well beyond that. i'm not this person's doctor.

so we can't say she had a stroke because we have been told she got better. strokes don't occur unless they lasted more than 24 hours. a brief episode might be something called a krans cents is keep -- a transient ischemic attack. but this was brief if she was better and went home. i agree with the doctors who say she should have been seen. i think she should have. don't know her. but this is the kind of a situation that does appear fires appear neurologic. we talked -- megyn: searching for words but gibberish is what's coming out. >> you want to say something, but different word or gibberish

comes out. megyn: i want you to comment on two different things. number one, when she starts to speak she is okay. she is fine. she is smiling. the first couple words are fine, then it quickly goes down hill. you can see when the first gibberish comes out, she knows the words aren't right and she tries to right -- to it on the right track and can't do it. i want to ask you your thoughts about that. >> a very, very heavy [inaudible] tonight. we had a [inaudible]. megyn: she starts out we had a very, very, then it's gibberish. then you can see her recognizing something is not right, but she can't get it back on track. >> that level of awareness at that moment.

if it's a partial seizure or migraine. stroke also possible. but then we would have to hear in the news reports that she continues to have this problem. megyn: a my grain? >> a complex migraine, you are not getting enough oxygen to the brain. i'm not talking about her specifically. i want to bring another problem. in general when someone is having something like that you think of drugs as a possibility. cocaine. i'm not talking about her. but they will give you symptoms like that. megyn: i'm not talking about her either. no one is remotely suggesting drugs. but back in the early 80s, jessica savage went on and had an infamous meltdown on the air. she was on medication and she had what became an epic meltdown. she was thick tongued. she couldn't get her words out. how when you are evaluating this as a doctor do you tell the difference between someone who

is thick tongued, maybe nervous. it is a big night. she is an experienced reporter, but sometimes you just get nervous, and something that's medically significant. >> it lasted more than a second and the meltdown that occurred became gibberish. you could see her trying to find the words and not being able to find the words. to me that person needs an mri of the brain. megyn: if the showed nothing, if the brain comes back looking normal. and you go and have an mri, do you need to be more worried than the average person about a stroke? >> you need a neurologist to weigh in on this. i'm saying migraine but that's a diagnosis of exclusion. the raped onset, by the way, makes me not think of a severe thing. this looks more like a very rapid thing it am not a stroke if it goes away quickly.

if it's transient it can be treated. but a neurologist has to be involved. it looks newe -- it looks neuro. megyn: her station is saying she did foul with a doctor it looks like she pursues reepgd and yoga so she does relaxation activities. all the best to you. >> she has to foul. megyn: she -- she has to follow up. megyn: she may save lives with this. the italian prime minister is facing the possible loss of his office in the wake of bombshell allegations he paid a 17-year-old for sex.

sparked by his political opponents. all right. mercedes, he says that ruby heart stealer and he did not have sexual intercourse it is a crime to have sex with a prostitute under the age of 18 in italy. sex with a prostitute is not illegal. but sex with a prostate under 18 is. she is 17. why did he allegedly pay her $9,700 in cash, give her a diamond necklace and an audi sportscar. >> she even said i got the $9,400 the first time we met. that a problem. megyn: you meet the prime minister of some country and before you know it he's giving $10,000. >> what about that phone call to

the police department? did you make that phone call? i know she has $4,500 she kind of stole. she is a nice girl, she is a sweet girl, let her go. megyn: they say not only did you have sex with a prostitute under the age of 18, but you interestu interfered and tried to get her out of jail. he says, well, i only did that because i thought she was the niece of egyptian president hosni mubarak. >> easily defendable. this is a vast left-wing conspiracy. here is the facts. the age of consent in italy we know to be 14. it is true you cannot pay for sexual relations if the person is under $18. -- is under 18. they have to establish they had a relationship that was not found upon twist being

exchanged. she is a belly dancer and has danced for him many times. it's plausible if not probable he was giving her gifts for the services she was rendering during those parties. megyn: she must be one hell of a dancer. does this cut against or for the prosecution's case? apparently with all this -- when you have a long history of liking the young ladies in the middle of a divorce, but there is this woman naomi, a school girl who calls him popsy. he visited her coming of age party and gave her a $6,000 euro gold and diamond necklace. another girl who is 28. she is one of the original four show girl candidates to be put forward as a government official, i guess, and then on

the list goes of young women he wants to make government official and lavishes gifts upon them according to the press reports in italy. does that help or hurt the prosecution's case? >> i think he loves being called poppy. it's nasty that this woman said that. the defense will come forward and say he has relations with young women. why would he need to pay for sex when he has all these other women. i can see that being the defense. come on, joey, you know that's what the defense is going to say. he's the prime minister, he has all these women at his beck and call. why would he pay for sex? megyn: he's paying something according to the prosecutors. they got this trial fast tracked which is unusual in italy. you have to pve there is that much evidence. the judge said you convinced me. let's go to trial immediately.

they say they have proof he made payments or aides made payment to a significant number of young women including her. >> his taste is women is almost endless. he's a billionaire and very generous guy. but let's not forget ruby said she did not have relations with him. megyn: they both denied it. >> trials often come down to proof. whether it's a jury or three judges they do in italy. who is going to prove and establish that there was sexual relations here? megyn: joey you have done a beautiful job of defending him. a better job than his actual lawyer who when told sylvio berlusconi would be tried before a panel of three female judges said, great, women are always welcome. sometimes even agreeable.

thanks, panel. one final word for our viewers. $9,000 to ruby heart stealer along with a diamond necklace, a experts car and get out of jail free card. it does not look good. he has a long history of wooing the young ladies. if he wooed her into bad's likely head for prison. w
