>> steve: we don't know where they're going to sit yet, but the entire dugger family will be here live. >> gretchen: how many kids do they have? 19 now? log on for the after the show show. we'll see you tomorrow. >> steve: so long, everybody. bill: we have a big two hours ahead g. morning, everybody, he lied from day one, now a fallout from the anthony weiner after he admits sending racy photos to multiple women. what is the next step for tk-plts, what do they do now? good morning, i'm bill hemmer, welcome to "america's newsroom". how you doing ali. alisyn: i'm alisyn camarota, after days of denials weiner finally apologizes to the

public and to his wife: >> i haven't told the truth. and i've done things i deeply regret. i brought pain to people i care about the most, and the people who believed in me. and for that, i'm deeply sorry. and i apologize to my wife, and our family. as well as to our friends and supporters. i'm deeply ashamed of my terrible judgment. bill: it was a remarkable statement from yesterday. so when ris days numbered? doug mckelway, what happens now? >> reporter: all it takes for a formal investigation to commence in the ethics committee is a referral from a member and we have that from minority leader nancy pelosi saying i am deeply ice a-- disappointed and

saddened for anthony's wife, his staff and his constituents. what happens in this procedure is secret, deliberate and methodical. the commitly will take time and we won't know much of what's happening but a subcommittee investigation will be impaneled, that panel will issue a report and if it recommends punishment the entire house would vote to punish him. keep in mind representative weiner has addressed the issue of wrongdoing. here's what he said. >> i don't see anything that i did to violated the rules of the houser the oath of office that involved in the constitution. i engaged in online conversations with people that included photographs and it was a mistake to do that, but i don't believe that i did anything that violates any law or any rule >> reporter: weiner said yesterday that he will fully cooperate with this ethics committee investigation. bill. bill: you know doug, these house rules on ethics are

pretty specific about what constitutes a violation. they're spelled out and written out. what about in this case, based on what we now know? >> reporter: bill there, are key passages in the house ethics committee manual which could come into play here. read this one, for example. it says anything supported with official funds is an official resource, including congressional offices. now, listen to what nanc agree broussard, one of the women who engaged in sex conversations with weiner has said, she told radar magazine i gave him my number and he called me from otherwise office and we proceeded to talk dirty for a few minutes, a few days later i tried to call him back but the number wouldn't connect, saying it was a recorded message that, it was an outgoing congress line, only. that would seem to constitute a misuse of an official resource but there's speculation that weiner's interviews last wednesday with many networks, including this one, all in furtherance of what he admitted was a lie could also ab misuse of

resources. outside of the ethics committee process, the next few days will be absolutely critical as we see whether there are calls for his resignation, whether that gains momentum. bill: thank you for that. karl rove reacts to this in about an hour, too. alisyn: the press conference was so bizarre, on so many levels, including this one, before anthony weiner even got to the podium, conservative blogger andrew brightbart grabbed a microphone and telling the crowd he felt vindicated. he said he was looking for an apology from weiner for his blame the messenger strategy. >> i can't imagine a more humiliating thing to have to do than that press conference. he made his bed, he's going to have to lie in it. alisyn: and breitbart got that apology which he says he accepts. he thinks there should be an investigation saying there are ramifications or should be for falsely claiming that other people are doing

something illegal or wrong. bill: the irony of his presence, he was in new york selling a book and got a message weiner was going to have this press conference, he walks into the room and all the reporters started asking him question. then they requested him to go to the microphone because they could not hear him. breitbart later said he had no idea that was being broadcast on television at the time but several networks took it and his reaction there and there's more reaction from weiner's friend and mentor and boss, new york senator chuck schumer, standing by weiner, but also expressing disappointment, quoting now, i am deeply pained and saddened by today's news, by fully explaining himself, apologizing to all he hurt and taking responsibility for his wrongful action, anthony did the right thing, end quote. alisyn: new york city mayor michael bloomberg also giving his take on this scandal suggesting that everyone should stay focused on more pressing issues and leave the congressman's future in voter's hands.

>> it's up to the constituents. listen, it's time to get back to the serious business in this country. we have problems with our budget, with the immigration , the world around us has a lot of wars going on and revolutions. time to get back and focus on the serious things. alisyn: what bloomberg says is significant because weiner was considered a favorite to succeed bloomberg as mayor in 2013. he lost his last bid for mayor back in 2005. bill: he had a war chest built up, today -- too, about $5 million. for context, we have reported on at least 15 sex scandals by active members of congress in the past 30 years. that's about one every two years but in new york alone there have been a number of lawmakers involved in those scandals, chris lee, looking for women on kra*eugs lis, posting a picture of himself without a shirt, he resigned within hours, congressman eric massa resigned in the face of allegations he sexually hared a male

staffer, he fought it for some time, former governor eliot spitzer admitting to seeing a prostitute, he resigned in the state of new york, also. the big question now, what was weiner thinking? and the congressman, even asking himself that question during his mea culpa yesterday. how does a high profile politics lie about this? keith ablow. alisyn: can't wait to ask him those questions. first he called it a bump in the road, new new reaction from president obama on last week's disappointing jobs dat kwrarbgs the president saying, quote, we don't know yet what happened in terms of this particular blip. take a look at his interview yesterday. >> we were on the verge of going into a great depression, those who are still unemployed, my main message to them is every day i get up and ask myself what more can i be doing to give them a shot. what else do i have within my power to make sure that jobs are being created,

businesses are succeeding, small businesses are succeeding, and people are able to live out the american dream. so what they should know is they've got a president who's on their side. alisyn: now, another member of the president's economic team has resigned, austan goolsbee, the chief economic adviser, leaving his post later this year. stuartstuart varney joins me. do we know why tkpwa*ls bee is leaving? >> the timing is interesting because it follows a week of absolutely terrible news on the economy and now he is leaving the administration after seven years as an adviser to barack obama. he join the senate campaign pack in 2004. well now he's gone. that means the entire economic policy team that put together the recovery policy, that put together the stimulus plan, every single one of them is gone. that would include larry summers, cristina romea, jerked bernstein and austan goolsbee. all of them, gone. where does that leave us?

you have to ask that question. that means there's somewhat of a policy vacuum at the top, there's a good deal of confusion about what is exactly happening now. as you heard from the president, we're not happened with this particular blip. but voters appear to know and feel very strongly what's happening. 57 percent of them say we're not yet out of the recession. alisyn: and stuart, it seems as though there was a bit of a delayed reaction from the president. you and i talked about this last week, that he came out and was trumpeting the success of the auto industry at the same time that other people were going wait a second, there are all these indicators the economy is heading south so now he's talking about it. >> yes, there was confusion at the very top about exactly what is happening with the economy. seems like we hit a brick wall, all of the sudden, with this week of dreadful economic news on housing and jobs and the strength of the economy, and there is confusion at the top of that, exactly what is going on. some blame the weather or the japanese situation, others say look, it's a policy, fundamental failure

of policy. there is confusion about kpa exactly happened, and more confusion about what we're going to do about it. bill: the stock market is going to open in about 20 minutes, the drum beat of economic news sending wall street on a bit of a bad streak, the dow hitting its lowest level in 2 1/2 months, closing down about 60 points yesterday, that's the fourth consecutive down day for the dow. it's the longest losing streak since august of 2010. and the lowest close since the last week of march. we may go below 12,000 for the first time this summer. alisyn: we need to talk about extreme weather, strong winds sending a -- spanning a massive wildfire. the smoky haze traveling as far away as iowa. three hundred sixty-five square mile wallow fire has been burning now for more than a week. people who live in the area are bracing for the worst. >> we packed up everything that we could. memories and clothes. >> i don't know if i'm going

to have to start over again or not. >> this is our life lihood. this is our life. >> when they tell us to leave, we have to leave. we don't want to leave. i'm going to cry. we don't want to leave. but we know it's for safety's sake, we have to. >> this caused a lot of people a lot of hardship. i have nowhere else to go. alisyn: such a sad situation anita vogel, what is the latest this morning? >> reporter: good morning, alisyn. this is a fire that has more than doubled in size since saturday, and it is still raging. zero percent containment on this so far. late last night, governor jan brewer declared a state of emergency for certain affected areas. we're talking about flames that have scorched close to 240,000 acres of eastern arizona. it is a sparsely populated pine forest with small towns gutted all throughout. so far, four buildings have burned, they could be homes or outhouses. right now authorities just don't know.

three hundred fifty other structures are threatened. luckily no injuries, though, to this point. the plays has prompted more than 2000 people to evacuate, and with no end in sight, it is also sparking a lot of fear. >> we wanted to stay, but we ended up leaving, because it was getting worse and worse. >> we'll just keep going and we'll just stay here and just keep an eye on where the fire is going and just pray, pray, pray. >> reporter: and officials believe they know the cause of this fire. they say it was sparked from an abandoned campfire, about a week ago, alisyn. alisyn: we understand, aneat that, officials in arizona have had to take pretty drastic measures to keep people safe. what are they doing? >> reporter: this crossed the wire, we learned that officials are closing the entire 2 million-acre coronado national forest on thursday, this is a popular area for hiking an camping, but officials say because of the unprecedented fire conditions they have to close it. right now, this is considered one of the

largest fires in arizona history, temperatures again today expected to be very warm, with wind gusts of up to 45 miles per hour, those winds not expected to die down until thursday. alisyn: oh boy. anita vogel, thank you very much for the update. bill: so much going on right now. some of the top stories we're watching on tuesday morning. also in a moment here, a key health care overhaul challenge heads to court. will the new law suggest up -- set up an epic battle between the states and federal government? we'll talk to a man who launched that lawsuit. alisyn: forensic experts giving new and disturbing testimony in the casey anthony murder trial. it could be some of the most damaging testimony so far, and we are hraofbg at the -- live at the courthouse. bill: she was supposed to start her summer internship, now this woman, age 20, with a dangerous heart condition is missing. what happened to lawrence fire? >> i watched her walk half a block.

that was the last person that saw her. >> it is not impossible she left and has gone somewhere but at this point we feel it's unlikely and we feel there's been some sort of foul play.

al protestors taking to the streets in yemen's capitol city today, but this time it's in celebrate over the departure of yemen's president. the president is in saudi arabia, getting surgery, we're told, for injuries from an attack on his compound. protestors have been trying to oust him for months. thus far it appears he had every intention of returning to power. bill: so the latest challenge now to the massive health care overhaul heads to an appeals court in atlanta, 26 states this week, more than half the one -- country, challenging the mandate that would require americans to buy insurance and bill mccollum, former attorney general in florida, is the first too tile a

lawsuit -- to file a lawsuit challenging the health care law. he joins us from the state of wyoming. you think this case at the moment is the stronger. why? >> i think it's the strongest because first of all you've got the 26 states involved and secondly, there are two strong features about this case. number one, it's a challenge to the individual mandate that we've all discussed so much that requires an individual to buy a health insurance policy or pay a penalty and there's a big huge issue about whether it's constitutional. we don't think it is. it's the first time in history, if it is, that the federal bottom has ever been in the position for the constitution to interpret to buy a product or pay a penalty. secondly, we also have involved in this a challenge to the constitutionality on the basis of the mandate of medicaid provisions in here, the com an deering of the state's assets, and we're engaged with a number of parties, not just the states that are involved in this, several individual plaintiffs, the national

federation of independent business. so you put it all together, this case is ripe to go on to the united states supreme court. bill: the supreme court in the end. so fark it's 3-2. >> and 3-2, there are case that is have ruled to uphold the law. so you're down one at the moment. >> well, it really isn't like a baseball game or a hockey game. it's the end of the game that matters only. it's what the united states supreme court is going to decide. i have no doubt it's going to be the u.s. supreme court. now, the court of appeals, we're going to hear tomorrow, that's going to hear this case is very important, the 11th circuit in atlanta, a 3-judge panel that's going to hear this, and the arguments are going to be honed there, it's going to be interesting, because two of the judges there are appointees -- clinton appointee, one is a reagan appointee and i expect tough questions and we'll see this take shape more. bill: three of the judges, two appointed by clinton, one by president reagan.

is this going against new. >> unfortunately this issue seems to be point thank way. there's a viewpoint of how do you interpret the commerce clause, how broadly can you interpret t i think the founding fathers would turn over in their graves if they thought it could be interpreted as broadly as this. what's to keep the federal government from, as judge synsent, to -- what's to keep you from buying broccoli and requiring you to buy broccoli to your health? what's required you -- what's requiring you to buy anything? we've never had that before. so is interstate commerce to be broadly interpreted like that. bill: what the government will argue is the uninsured are a burden on the insured and that's within the power of congress to regulate that the -- to regular rate -- regulate and i know it's a big constitutional issue. i've only got a few seconds to respond, but do you think that argument can fly in this court? >> i think it's possible it can fly in any court but i think we're going to win at the end of the day, i think

it's probably going to be a 5-4 decision in the supreme court and will rule in our favor, because the fact of the matter is you can have some same type of argument being made with regard to the burden that shifted, let's say, for example on credit cards, you've got credit card companies, certain people don't make their bill payments and the costs are shifted to somebody else. so the argument can cross any number of things in commerce outside of health care. and they're trying to make this sound like this is something unique or special and it's just not. bill: i am out of time but thank you for your time, bill mccollum. we'll see how it goes, the rest of the country is waiting on this. you know that, sir. thank you. >> my pleasure. alisyn: we have breaking news. we're getting new reports of heavy blasts in libya's capitol of tripoli, near qaddafi's compound. nato getting close to getting the leader? we're live in benghazi for you.

bill: some 200 teachers in texas protesting over proposed to cuts in school funding. here's how it went: about a week ago, the state senate in austin passed a bill for $4 billion in cuts in texas, teachers now slamming republican lawmakers for not tapping the state's rainy day fund or closing loopholes in the state's business tax for revenue. alisyn: fox news alert for you now, ramping up the pressure on libyan leader mo maal qaddafi. -- moammar al qaddafi. as you can hear there,

several huge explosions heard near the tripoli compound, phoebg seen billowing in the air, the blasts appear to be a rare daytime attack by nato forces. fox's dang springer is streaming live from the port city of benghazi. dan, what's the latest? >> reporter: alisyn, it certainly has appeared that nato has been more active in the last several hours. last night nato planes took out an important national intelligence command center and today as you were showing in that video, a massive strike today, 26 explosions were heard, some of them, extremely cloud, believed to be those 2000-pound bunker buster bombs. that happened about 11:30 this morning so that's a short interval between last night's attack and this morning and they targeted moammar qaddafi -pts compound which not only houses the presidential palace but the guard and revolutionary guard and for that reason the western

media is not allowed to shoot any video to see the damage. alisyn: dan, we hear the air strikes. what's going on with any diplomatic activity? >> reporter: well, it's really ramped up today and ramped up with two different nations on the fence. china had a delegation, they left quietly, did not have any sort of news conference but russia has a diplomat in town, mikhail margolaf, is in benghazi, meeting with the council. russia is sending mixes messages, last week the president of russia said qaddafi lost his legitimacy to lead and had to go but margolof says he's in a unique position because it's kept its relationship with tripoli. it will be interesting to see what he will do, if he will try to negotiate a ceasefire. alisyn: seems like things are reaching a head. dan springer, thank you very much, and keep us updated.

bill it's 27 minutes past the hour. first he tried to brush it off last week. >> is this twitter picture in question a picture of you? >> well, let's remember this twitter picture in question is a hack or a prank that someone posted on my twitter page with someone else's name in it, who says she never got it, she doesn't know me and i don't know her. we're trying to get to the bottom of where the picture came from and get to the bottom of what it does and who it's of. we're concerned about saying anything definitively. bill: it went from there and now we now it was a complete lie. why did he do it, what was he thinking? dr. keith ablow annizes in minutes. alisyn: casey anthony sits in silence during a new round of testimony. coming up, we'll hear from one forensic expert said about the smell of human decay coming from casey's car. for now, head to fox news.cole and check out the most read stories. we'll be right back.

bill: we are now hearing from one of the women at the center of the anthony weiner scandal, megan broussard, from texas, said she had a sexually charged conversation with weiner that lasted about a month, she talked about that with sean hannity about that last night. >> when that photo of his private areas came in, you know, you're a 26-year-old girl, this is a 46-year-old

congressman, recently married, what did you think then? >> i just felt at the time, there's got to be something, there's way more girls out there, this is not just me, there's nothing like oh, this is so special about me, but you know, there's just a lot more girls. but i thought at the time like this is something regular, he's done all the time. he's comfortable. bill: turns out she was right about that. you can see the entire interview on hannity, 9:00 eastern time. she has a lot more to say. alisyn: this isn't going away yet any time soon and in fact anthony weiner's news conference answered many questions but raised new ones and now just like bill clinton and john edwards and many others, weiner finds himself at the center of a salacious sex scandal that he first tried to cover up. so what exactly are these politicians thinking? thank goodness we've called in dr. kao*eb ablow, psychiatrist and fox news medical a teamer. dr. ablow, we have so much to analyze this morning.

let's start with the -- >> indeed. alisyn: let's start with the lying. let's remind our viewers of what anthony weiner said last week. >> i can definitively say that i did not send this. i can denyivetively say it looks -- looks a lot like a prank an joke about my name. i can say with certitude i have hired someone who is going to come in, deconstruct this as best they can to make sure this doesn't happen again. alisyn: dr. ablow, where are these politicians like clint on, i can go on, think they can publicly lie and get away with it. >> i think there's an arrogance of office and there's arrogance of character, where these folks believe that somehow, because they're so glib, so eloquent, faster than your average rabbit, that they can outsmart the media or outsmart the american public that's the bad part of it, the lying. they think literally if they're glib enough and

eloquent enough to put one over on the american people. alisyn: here's what's interesting about what anthony weiner did. he wasn't ambushed, he invited reporters, dozens of them, into his office last week, where he repeated the same lie over and over in front of television cameras, in terms of what he was thinking, let's listen to him now explain what he was thinking: >> i don't know what i was thinking. this was a destructive thing to do, i'm apologetic for doing it, it was deeply, deeply hurtful to the people i care about the most, it was something that i did that was just wrong, and i regret it. alisyn: dr. ablow, he talked about self destruction. is that what this is? >> no, look, this is somebody who thinks that his own version of events should trump reality. this is in a very different way -- nobody has been killed here but this is scott peterson trying to put one over on the american public when lacy, the

pregnant wife, went missing and he was holding press conferences and doing a search, thinking wrongly, because this is someone who is not attached to the truth. maybe other people don't know the truth, either. that's the problem. since they don't have regard for the truth, they figure well, maybe fiction will work here. it doesn't work. the truth always wins. alisyn: having said that, i thought that in watching the press conference yesterday that he seemed very genuine, he seemed actually authentic and what he said seemed heartfelt but i'm not the expert. what did you see when you watched this? >> given what came before it, the fact that he was willing to try to dupe the american people, that he was willing to tell lies in front of cameras, which is tough to do, by the way, that's why sometimes television talk shows reveal so much about the participants because it's tough to lie to a camera, unless you're anthony weiner or some of these other folks what do i think? i think he was upset that his job is in trouble. i think he was upset that his wife is perhaps angry with him. i think he's sad for himself. do i believe that he feels

genuine contrition and guilt? no, i don't at all. alisyn: why? >> why? because given what came before it, his willingness to lie about these things, given his entire demeanor and willing to engage the media with such an aggressive fashion, i understand the fall from grace, i get that it hurts when you skin your knees, when you were trying to climb in someone's window and rob your house, you fall down and it hurts, and you might cry. okay, i get that, and i commiserate -- i'd commiserate with him when he were in my office but he's an elected official, i wouldn't take this to be guilt or internalzation. there's sadness about the fact that he's need to go suffer now. alisyn: there's so much there, i wish we had a few more hours. but of course, that's a different show. dr. keith ablow, thank you for your analysis. >> thank you alisyn. be well. bill: in the meantime,

watching the monitor now, where court is back in session in orlando after bombshell testimony in the casey anthony trial. there's a live look, a detective from florida on the stand in a moment, a key prosecution witness saying that sample -- air satchels that casey's car had a, quote, overwhelmingly strong odor. >> what do you recognize that odor to stph-b. >> i recognized it as a human de composition. >> that you smelled? bill: and from there, the defense attorneys went after that witness. phil keating is live in miami now. when did this i guess -- i guess rather what did this witness provide for the state's case, bill? >> reporter: well, what he provided was unprecedented testimony in a u.s. courtroom, judge bell vin perry, despite repeated okays by the defense team, pretrial objections, is allowing this evidence for the first time. it's air tests, air sample evidence, which allegedly finds human decomposition.

and this has never been entered into a court of law. that's have jose baez, casey anthony's lead counsel calls this nothing but junk science, the doctor with the lab in tennessee, known as the body farm because they spend a lot of their time studying dead human beings, he testified that evidence of decomposition is not all he found. >> you were shocked. why? >> we have never seen chloroform in that level in environmental samples before, at least i never have in 20 years. >> now, you did say that chloroform can be aby product of decomposition, right? >> yes. in human decomposition, we have seen chloroform in a concentration level of parts per trillion. so very small amounts. >> chloroform is incredibly crucial for the state's case

here because their entire theory is that casey anthony, mother of caylee, used chloroform, made little caylee fall unconscious and duct taped her nose and mouth, to suf date and -- suffocate and kill her, dumped her in the car and dumped her in the woods. that's why chloroform is so important, the crime scene tech, the same one who testified friday, about finding 12 hair necessary that vehicle, including one, the left side of the trunk liner of casey anthony's car, which he says showed signs of human decomposition. bill: all right. okay, phil, thank you for that, phil keating live in orlando. if there's one thing for sure, this judge runs a tight ship. they start at 9:00 every day but that testimony from yesterday is the first time evidence like that has ever been entered into a courtroom before and we'll see whether or not it works. alisyn: riveting stuff and it appears at the moment very damming for the defense. meanwhile there's new outrage after a supreme court decision on illegal immigration, should illegals

get the same state perks as illegal -- as legal citizens? bill: and now poll numbers on the national economy which may lead to a very familiar question. >> are you better off than you were four years ago? is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was four years ago?

>> are you better off than you were four years ago? is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was four years ago? is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was four years ago? is america as respected throughout the world as it was? do you feel that our security is as safe, that we're as strong as we were four years ago? if you answer all of those questions yes, why, then i

think your choice is very obvious who you will vote for. bill: that statement came in the final week of prsident reagan's campaign to defeat jimmy carter. that was 1980, and right now, tough economic times, impacting president obama in the polling, hitting a new low in his approval rating. mary ann marsh is former adviser to senator john kerry and tucker karlson is editor at the daily caller. how are you two doing today? ter esp panel annual good morning to both of you. i guess you get to ask the question are you better off than four years ago, i first tucker and then mary ann, how would americans answer this question, are you better off today than you were two years ago, what they say? >> we know the answer, which is not many would say they're better off than two years ago, the wrong track, right track, the question, is the country moving in the right direction, is the central question that all political consultants look at moving into a political race, particularly a reelection campaign and those numbers are awful for

the president, and it's not as if the white house has more tricks in its bag, the bag is empty and they've tried everything and it hasn't worked. it's typical to see where the obama campaign makes its ground, what's their claim for why we're not doing better? that's not clear at all. bill: let me work for an explanation in a moment. but mary ann, i want you to answer that question, too, two years ago, better off or not? >> well, i think that if you're a middle class, working poor, the answer probably is no, in 12 months from now, for those folks, the answer has to be yes for president obama to get reelected but remember, every election is a choice, and barack obama is going to have to run on his record and the republican nominee is going to have to run on theirs, and if it's mitt romney as the republican nominee, he's going to have a very tough time running on his record in terms of creating jobs, because when he was governor of massachusetts, massachusetts was 47th in the country creating jobs, and he made his fortune in venture capital where you go in, buy companies, fire people and walk away with millions of dollars, and i don't think

that's going to stack up too well, either. bill: romney poll is in the "washington post", abc conducted it, it shows romney with a slight lead over barack obama. it's 47-47 right there, but among likely voters he has a two or three-point edge. tucker, back to your point about right track and wrong track. >> because every presidential cycle, we look at that figure to figure out whether or not the country is moving in the right direction or not. >> right. bill: in this poll, it's 2-1 that say the country is on the wrong track. >> that's right. bill: how do you tap into that head wind? >> well, it's tough if you're the president. especially this president. because you own the economy. you spend a trillion dollars in tax money, trying to juice the job -- produce the jobs numbers and it hasn't worked, virtually not a single member of your original economic team is in place, austan tkpwa*ls bee just announced he's leaving after less than a year and the job. the picture is chaos and failed policy, and you

really have to, if you're the president, have a story you can tell people, reelect me because i did such a great job and on the economy specifically, it's, again, very hard to see what obama's case is. this is a referendum on him because all reelections are. bill: mary ann, make that case for reelection. >> it won't be an easy one. and it's going to be -- it's not a one step process, it's at least a two or three step process. if people are feeling better, put aside the unemployment number when is certainly important and all the other indicator, people have to feel better about their own personal circumstances, and he will then have to argue had i not taken these steps we would actually be worse off. you have to make that case first, you then have to hope that you're in a position where people feel better, and then you use the metaphor of bin laden and others to say we need to finish the job, that's why i deserve a second term, we're turning the corner, we're going in the right direction now, you don't want to take a chance on someone else like a mitt romney who's

going to have a tough time defending his record, you need to stick with me. bill: we saw two other numbers in the polling do you approve or disapprove of the way he's handling the can economy, 59 percent disapprove, in addition, do you think the recovery has been strong or weak, this is stunning, 81 percent say weak. mary ann, thank you. tucker, thank you as well. terrific panel today. you both mentioned mitt romney. what do you think about this? go to foxnews.com/"america's newsroom", this is an unscientific poll as we say in the business, ali. who would you vote for if the 2012 presidential election were held today, president obama or mitt romney? those results a bit later in our show. you can log on in our website, online for you right now and cast your vote, see what other people are talking about, too. alisyn: look forward to those results. meanwhile there's been a sobering statistic about the mortgage crisis in this country, the homeowners who have been hit the hardest, and what they did to get themselves there. bill: also, police say she was last seen, walking alone, just a few blocks

from her own apartment. what happened to this 20-year-old college student? there is one clue, in the search for answers, next.

bill: developing right now in "america's newsroom", fire crews are battling on out of control brushfire in miami, fireiters hoping backfires will help stop the fire from spreading. they could use rain there. california's ethics board says it will not investigate whether or not the former governor arnold schwarzenegger used campaign money to carry out an affair with a housekeeper. the board rejecting a request from democrats for a probe. president obama, welcoming german chancellor angela merkel to the white house this morning where he will say good morning! the president honors merkel with a state din they are evening. -- state dinner this

evening. alisyn: you're so international bill! meanwhile, shocking new numbers out of the state -- on the state i should say of america's homeowners, a new report finds 30 percent of americans who took out a -- 40 percent of americans who took out a second mortgage are now under water. jerry willis from the fox business network joins us. 40 percent of the second mortgages are under water. what's the significance of this for the country? >> look, it means more debt and it means more people are under water on their mortgages. let's take a look at the proportion of the people with helocs, it's 38 percent compared to just 18 percent of people who have just the single mortgage, the original morton their house, so it puts you more in danger. what's more, it makes it more difficult to get a credit card, it makes it more difficult to get a car loan. these are 10 percent of the market, these helocs. alisyn: do what -- what do people do in that situation? >> you've got to pay down debt as quickly as can. the problem with a heloc,

skwroeuts outstanding so you want to pay as much as you can and as quickly as you can. they're much harder to get. people aren't taking them out now. these are a hangover from the boom. al for the people that took out the second mortgages, do we know why, were these for luxury items, cars, necessity? >> both. the bad news is a lot of people put vacations on these helocs, they put cosmetic surgery. you can't imagine the uses. but there were some out there who used them for medicare uses, then they were borrowing this, against their equity, they had to pay it back. this makes you more likely to default at the end of the day. alisyn: bad housing news last week. is this connected or yet another bit of bad news? >> i think this is really bad news. prices going into a double-dip, prices lower than the previous low for housing prices. we were expecting the market to be rebounding by now, right, and it hasn't done that. prices down 4.2% quarter over quarter, just not really good news there. people are looking for prices to rebound, but now they keep pushing out that

date and pushing out that date. americans really nervous about what is really their largest store of value, bigger than the 401(k), any pension. it's really their home equity that they rely on. alisyn: jerry, thank you very much for explaining this. you can see more of jerry on the fox business network, it airs week days, 5:00 p.m. eastern. bill: in a moment, alisyn, it's a massive wildfire burning out of control in arizona. they say the smoke trail can be seen in iowa. now word of a new health risk for people who don't even live in the state of arizona. we'll explain all that in a moment. alisyn: he started out denying the whole thing. >> my twitter feed says this, from one guy that put this in, i put this out that i was having this interview with you and here's what he said, quote, seriously, how does rep weiner not know what his own drawers look like. that was the question. >> fair enough. alisyn: well, we now know he was lying through his teeth, but he says he will not

quit. so how long will anthony weiner last in congress? coming up, karl rove is going to weigh in on the fallout.

bill: there's an ethics probe and political uncertainty facing yet another member of the united states congress bitten by scandal, democrat anthony weiner admitting he sent inapproriate pictures to women on the internet after lying about it for a week: >> i regret not being honest about this. this was a big mistake. i was embarrassed. i was humiliated. i'm still to this moment. i was trying to protect my wife, i was trying to protect myself from shame, and i really regret it. bill: brand new hour of "america's newsroom".

i'll bill hemmer. martha is working later. how you doing al sip? alisyn: doing well, great to be with you. what a day that was yesterday. now nancy pelosi is calling for an ethics investigation, others are calling for his resignation but weiner says he's not going anywhere. >> i am not resigning. i have made it clear that i accept responsibility for this, and people can draw conclusions about me, are free to do so. i've worked for the people of my district for 13 years and poll fiction for 20 years, and i hope that they see fit to see this in the light that this is, which is a deeply regrettable mistake. bill: karl rove, good morning to you, how you doing up there in boston? >> i'm fine, hemmer, how you doing? >> fine. simple question, can he survive? >> if nancy pelosi calls for his resignation, he can't survive. if nancy pelosi calls for a referral to the ethics committee he can survive as long as they take to deliberate and the ethics

committee moves slowly. the house rules, the rules of the ethics committee call for a member to act, quote, at all times in a manner that shall reflect credibly on the house. this obviously does not reflect credibly on the house. but he can survive if he is stubborn enough and tone deaf enough to row main there but if the leadership were to turn on him, no. bill: just for a moment, before we move to the next point, i want you to listen to nancy pelosi from 2008 about cleaning up washington, okay? roll this now: >> keep our promise to drain the swamp that is washington, d.c., to let sunshine disinfect the congress. bill: does the disinfection tan, is it sprayed, and in which direction? the way you make it sound, it's her call, if she cranks up the pressure, she can force him out. >> she can do it. when chris lee, republican from buffalo, was found to put a picture of himself,

bare chested picture of himself on the internet the house and public -- republican leadership said resign today. when fark foley sent messages to underage male pages, they said resign today, even though we know it means it's impossible to us -- for us to nominate somebody to hold your seat in the fall of 2006 so nancy pelosi, if she did want to drain the swamp, this is a swatch, i mean, this man lied aggressively. this was not a disagreement about policy. he went out and time and time and time and time again this week, has aggressively denied, lied about whether or not this was him texting a picture of himself in his underwear, and if isn't swamp-like behavior, i don't know what it is. "the new york times" this morning called his behavior, quote, profoundly squalid and offensive. when you get "the new york times" calling it that, it says something. bill: from an ethics standpoint, if you use your office in a manner like

this, then it's clearly a violation of ethics. when he called in reporters, including bret baier, last week from five different networks, into his office to conduct these interviews and then deny t. is that in itself a violation? >> well, you know, it's an amorphous standard, the manner that reflects credibly on the house but this does not reflect credibly on the house. he lied. he was known before this incident as being aggressive and hectoring and nasty and mean and not a likable guy, so you'll see very few stepping forward, nobody in the congress stepping forward and trying to make exculpatory statements on him. does this reflect badly on the house, that's for the members to making and the members' leadership to make. this guy might be able to survive. what's interesting is his district is -- president omabacare he'd it 55-44, that means this district could be in play if the congressman attempts to run for reelection.

he could face a challenge in the primary and he could face a challenge in the general election and he's stubborn enough and has a big enough ego, in all likelihood i wouldn't be surprised to see him trying to hang on and run for reelection. bill: you think about a survival strategy, and i think you pointed out chris lee lasted three hours, and gone out of the congressional district, 26, of new york and you wonder whether or not there is proof in fighting this over a long period of time, and whether or not that works. but as you point out, democratic leaders will -- i've got to run. go ahead. >> yeah, he's ineffective. he'll be able to vote, but there's no member who's going to pay attention to him, he's lost his credibility. he was speaking about running for mayor of new york, that's now a joke. but it's amazing to me that former speaker pelosi has not asked him to resign. this reflects badly on the democrats. bill: we will see if that position stays the way it is or whether or not it changes. thank you karl. enjoy boston. karl rove with us this morning. alisyn. alisyn: so you may be getting the impression that

this story is not going away? congressman weiner's confession is not the end of the story today. we're getting new details from some of the women that he was in contact with, and fox's eric shawn is here with more. what are we learning? >> reporter: there is much -- more, much more. anthony weiner sent racy photo and sex texted half a dozen women but now there are details. in of the women are going public destroying a bounty of sex message and photo they received from the married congressman, radar online reports las vegas -- las vegas dealer lisa weiss has 200 sexually explicit messages from weiner, including sexually graphic overt messagese cannot report here, weiss admits she started the contact, sending him a facebook message that she fell in love with him for yell at republicans, meanwhile another woman, 26-year-old texas megan broussard sent

photos of herself and wao*pier sent him photos bare khefplt dollars and this one. last night, the mother, an army veteran, spoke with hannity. >> i just felt at the time, there's got to be something, there's way more girls out there, this is not just me, there was nothing like oh, this is so special about me. >> there are kaults in the new york city newspapers for weiner to quit right now. the republican in this race in november received 41 percent of the vote. his district is a heavily democratic one in queens and brooklyn and new york city. where despite the scandal, we found opinion was split. >> he said he lied to the public. if he would have told the truth and said i did it, admitted it, maybe he couldn't have been trusted but it shows we can't trust him. >> they're making too big a thing of it. it's a sad thing that people in his position make

mistakes like that, but don't make it bigger than it is. >> weiner insists he will not resign and will run again, he insists he cannot break the law and will now try to earn back the trust of those in that district that have sent him to congress. alisyn: thank you for keeping your eye on the pulse of this. bill: we're hearing from the neighbors of that 26-year-old woman from texas, she has come out public, megag broussard, says that weiner met her on facebook and after she commented on one of his speeches, they exchanged more than 100 messages, her neighbors saying it is a sign of the times. >> where we are this day and time, with the media and everything, and twitter and facebook an everything, it's just part of what we're about, this day and time, and unfortunately, this gentleman got caught up in something like people that believe they can continue to do these kind of things. bill: wao*pier insists he

has apologized and will fully cooperate if a house inquiry comes his way. alisyn: we're asking what you think, in our you decide poll. what should congressman weiner do now? so far, 90 percent of you think he should resign. 5 percent say let him stay. and nearly 4 percent of voters think he should stay, but face reprimand. those are pretty overwhelming numbers. bill: while we're on the air, you can vote online now, right? on the road to 2012, republican presidential candidate tim pawlenty on president obama's home turf today, unveiling his own economic plan, university of chicago. he is the former minnesota governor, expected to criticizeing -- criticize the white house and take a stance on issues likely to define the primary season. steve brown has more on that with a preview, live. good morning. >> reporter: hey there bill, good morning. yes, we're here at the university of chicago where president obama spent time as a law school professor, and this is where tim

pawlenty is going to basically unveil his economic vision. taking a look at some of the highlights of what pawlenty will be talking about today, in terms of individual tax rates, if you pay zero now under pawlenty's plan, you would pay zero for those making $50,000 or less, or $100,000. in a marriage, you would pay 10 percent in federal tax, 25 percent for everybody else. business tax is reduced from 35 percent to 15 percent. and no taxes on capital gains, interest income dividends and estates. now, while all of this suggests a massive overhaul of the tax code, not everyone obviously is going to be pleased with this particular proposal. we point specifically to the successor to pawlenty, that would be governor mark dayton who says i think it's eye ironic that he, pawlenty, is talking about a fiscal plan when he left the state a mess, they had a difficult time putting together a budge but what pawlenty's aides have told

me in the past about this particular charge is pawlenty did deliver balanced budgets to the state of minnesota and they did actually cut spending in the state of minnesota, that is something that mark dayton, governor now, has yet to accomplish and is working on. bill. bill: steve, thank you. alisyn: turning to forensics in the casey anthony murder trial, what the prosecution plans to introduce just moments from now. we're going to ask an excellent expert legal panel about all of this. bill: they're living in the country illegally. but california is giving them a big break on a college tuition. today, the supreme rules on a controversial immigration law. we'll hear from the court. alisyn: she set out for a friday night on the town with friends. twenty-year-old lauren spier has not been seen since. >> when is -- this is what it takes in a situation like this, when someone is missing, we know that someone, somewhere, had the information and knows what happened. one, they are either going to maybe tell somebody or

mention something to somebody, or someone that was with them, let thembuilt bye know.

bill: we have now found a tkpwroeft town where a small american city used to be, residents fleeing hamburg, ohio, fearing the river might be about to burst and the army corps of engineers working to reinforce the barrier, also building a secondary wall. >> it will flood clear up main street for several feet. they said it's supposed to only get 6-10 feet in the fire hall and this is a ride from the -- a 6-foot rise from the fire hall, maybe more. it would be 8-foot hire. maybe we won't even have any. we don't know. bill: folks in the middle part of the country have been dealing with this for weeks. now it's the missouri river at issue, more than 500 resident necessary that town were ordered to get out. the local fire chief says if that levy is breached, part of the town could be under 10 feet of water. alisyn: the highest court in

the land, now rejecting a challenge to a california law that allows illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition for college. as you may know, state college costs less for people who actually live in that state, and now, illegal students can get that same perk, for example, at the university of california, in-state students pay just over $11,000 a year, meanwhile, out of state students pay $34,000 a year. california congressman brian bilbray is chairman of the house immigration reform caucus and joins us now. hello congressman. what do you make of the supreme court decision that basically what their rationale was, in siding with these noncitizen students, was that the law is based on graduating from a california high school, not on citizenship? >> it's rated on spending three years getting a free education in california and graduating, and even if it means those three years you

were breaking the law while you were doing it. the fact is what this does is create this situation where, again, we're send ago signal around the world that california is going to reward you if you illegally come here or if you smuggle your children into the state, and look, we've got to remember that when this law originally passed, it was so braisingly a scheme to try to circumvent the federal law that the universities refused to implement it unless the legislature passed a separate law to hold them harmless. every attorney in every university said look, this thing is terrible, but they worked it around, they've worked the system, and it's a good example of the fact that there are special lobbyists, there are special lawyers for people when who are illegally in the country but the average american citizen like my children, when they return to washington to come back and get their education in california, american citizens, born and raised in california, were told sorry, you don't get in-state

tuition unless you're willing to show your tax return to document it, but if somebody is illegal, actually, a whole system of separation and discrimination, but discrimination against those who are perceived to be legally in the cup as opposed to those who are admittedly illegal. alisyn: the illustration of your children is particularly eye ironic, because they could have saved that $23,000, the dif he thinksal between in state and out of state, except that they go to high school in virginia to be closer to be when you're in session in congress. so they can't take advantage of it, even though they're from san diego. it seems as though this law is flawed in a few ways. >> it's flawed because what happens is the legislatures are being manipulated by activist groups and lawyers that are manipulated for one small group but the average american citizen, even my children get blocked out, and alisyn, this got to a point, when my daughter was ready to transfer from one school over into the public

school, california is so loaded up with students and running out of money that they weren't allowing u.s., even state students, to transfer into a system that they admitted had illegals, not only going to that school, but getting in state tuition. so when you look around and say come on o'clock how much difference does it make, you tell your young daughter that sorry, you're not going to be able to go to that public school because there's not room in there because california believes those who are illegally here need to be in line first. remember, alisyn, what are we training them for? to go to work illegally in this country? there's the kind of mixed messages that no wonder people come here illegally. you've got people putting out the welcome sign and saying not only will we welcome you in, we'll put new line before american citizens. alisyn: you've made a compelling case. why did the supreme court endorse it yesterday? >> because what we've got, they played this game of saying we're finding something besides residency

as a way to be able to allow you to come in, and they say if you've got three years into a public school, even if you're breaking the law during those three years, we'll allow you to have in state tuition. they've worked around that aspect. that's one of the reasons why when washington passes a law from now on, we can't try to explain that, took -- look, we don't want people being rewarded for illegal residency. we've got to tell them flat out, if somebody is not legally in the country, you cannot give them a public benefit, you cannot use public funds to subsidize or benefit those who are violating our immigration laws in this country, and states should not be subsidizing and rewarding people for breaking the federal law. that's the separation of powers. arizona is not the state that is violating separation of powers. it's california. alisyn: congressman bryan bilbray, you obviously have a vested interest in this law and so many other states do as well, they're following california's lead and other states will take up this question, also.

thank you very much for coming in. >> thank you very much, alisyn. bill: he makes a compelling case, huh? twenty minutes past the hour. fifty-four thousand new jobs in the month of may. that was it, america. about 70,000 fewer jobs than expected. now the veteran political analyst james carville says if it does not get better soon, something really bad could happen. alisyn: smoke from the raging inferno in arizona filling the air hundreds of miles away. dr. marc siegl and the health risk, an how far the smoke screen can spread. >> i don't have a lot of hope right now. that fire was heading right towards me and the wind is blowing right that way. it's just a bad situation.

alisyn: here's what's developing in "america's

newsroom". time is running out to discover what caused the world's deadliest e coli outbreak, the world health organization says the source of the contaminated vegetables is not found in a week, we may never know. japan is doubling the estimate of how much radiation leaked from its crippled nuclear plant, a new report shows that nuclear fuel melted through not only reactor's core but also through inner containment vessels. >> a rare sight to see in hawaii, the big island's biggest mountain is covered with snow, just a few days before the official start of summer. bill: come on! alisyn: it's true! bill: wow! serious new concerns over some of the worst wildfires arizona has ever seen. haze from the raging flames now spreading to five different states. arizona, of course, new mexico, colorado, nebraska, kansas, and the state of iowa, all affected. health officials now warning about that smoke. dr. marc siegl, member of our medical a team,

professor of medicine at nyu's medical center, how you doing? >> good morning, bill. bill: what's the issue here, what's the warning? >> the concern is when you get very, very close to the smoke it can really irritate people who have asthma, underlying lung disease or heart disease who need the most oxygen they can get and they may not know they have those problems. this morning in colorado, it's still not that bad, air quality is moderate, which isn't bad but this can come in in a hurry and the rule of thumb is if you can't see more than 5 miles looking down the road from where your house is and the smoke is in your way, that means there could be a problem. for most people, it will just mean irritation to the eyes, watering nose, things like that, but for people with asthma, lung disease, heart disease, those are the people you have to watch out for. bill: what are the particles in the smoke that folks like you talk about? >> first the problem with the smoke is, of course, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide but we call it par lick lat matter, the parts that get in there and

irritate asthma or your lungs, sulfur type compounds, several irritating compounds are in this and they run the inspection rum but once they get in there they can cause asthma to occur, and people may have have asthma and not know with, people with emif seema, smokers, they should stay indoors, wash their nose and throughout out and if they use medications for asthma, use it more frequently than they usually do. bill: do they feel these conditions or do it ahead of time? >> they will feel these conditions but you have to be aware that visibility is the first thing that goes, so when you see the smoke coming in, that's when you start using the inhalers, that's when you start staying inside. bill: good to have you on. thank you mark. alisyn: just into "america's newsroom". new calls for anthony weiner to step down. who is saying he needs to resign? bill: she went out for a night with friends and has not been seen since, where is this 20-year-old student

with her friends. police say they suspect foul play, they searched nearby woods and dumpsters for any sign of the petite college som sophomor. she never made it home and her keys were found a blockade way from her friend's apartment where she was last seen. >> i watched her walk about half a block and didn't watch any further. that was the last person that is saying they saw her. alisyn: hundreds of volunteers spent yesterday searching downtown blooming ton, wooded areas, construction sites and lakes in the area her parents and sister, her older sister, they all traveled together over the weekend from their home in westchester new york to join in on the search. her dad case that he and his wife usually get a phone call from her every day, and his daughter has a medical condition making the days looking for her especially stressful. at just 4 to the 11 and a hundred pounds lauren has a heart defect that can cause

ned both sides went head-to-head over a researchers testimony about the odor of human decomposition that was found allegedly in casey's car. here is the prosecutor questioning him. >> do you have an opinion whether there was a decomposing human body in the trunk of that car at some point. >> i do have an opinion. >> what is that opinion. >> i can come up with no other plausible explanation other than that with what we found. bill: w lis wiehl. the gentlemen on the stand testified before monday this has

never been introduced in a trial. you think this is a huge mistake. >> they follow a 1993 supreme court test, the frye test. if you're going to put scientific expert testimony in front of a jury it must be generally accepted within the scientific community. the expert said he's not sure which scientific committee he would commit into. nor get about the united states, no one in the world has ever used this test. it hasn't been pier reviewed. bill: how did they are attorney go after him on that, was he successful or not at poking holes at his credibility. >> i think he was a little ridiculous to go through the chicken and the beef. the expert said the rottin a roo

is indistinguishable from a decomposing body. he should have gone into that. >> dna is one of the most powerful pieces of forensic evidence that a prosecutor or defense can bring into a case. so, all sciences new, this particular rear much eris pine nearing a farm of -- a body farm in tennessee, i know it sounds horrible but it's true. he has analyzed at least 50 bodies and he said he'd never smelled the clear form as bad as when he opened that trunk and smelled the clear form coming out of that. bill: could they have found ao better witness. >> this guy is really the pioneer and at the forefront of a developing field. bill: here is what he's -- i know exactly what you're going to say. it sale comes back to the who, the what, the where, the why, the how, all of that. >> all of that is missing. liz is right.

the dna took some time. this is the first time that the chemical vapor sniff test was ever introduced. dna was rejected dozens and dozens of times by the court before it was finally accepted. >> we don't know that this wasn't rejected. >> there is no pier review, no articles on it nothing, he's the only person who does it. bill: let me ask you this, if he's right is this case going to be thrown out or overturn. >> no. no forensics are information. the hair, the follicle is important. what will be critical for the prosecution's case is her reaction, her testimony, the jailhouse calls, all the things we've heard. bill: if you took all the science out, can you get a conviction? >> it would be harder but you could still do it and that's the test on appeal. would the jury -- on appeal can a judge say the jury would not have found a person guilty but for the forensic evidence. i don't think you get there. >> here is the problem i don't think they needed the science.

they had four other witnesses that said it is an indistinguishable smell, it is the smell of a decomposing body. when you call him as an expert you put him on a pedestrian on . >> the mother said it sounded like a bad pizza. so you really have to put something on that is an expert. >> case me should thank the judge every day for this. bill: keith sullivan, thank you, lis wiehl always good to see you as well. the case continues live in orlando. alisyn: wait until you hear this frightening prediction from a famous democratic politico. >> if 54,000 new jobs is the new standard it will be a very, very rough 2012 for president obama. if this last jobs number is an indication of future job numbers it's going to be very, very rough. alisyn: he actually went onto predict civil unrest, and lou

to be closed if the ruling is not favorable. bill: so we'll see if in the end it holds up in indiana. it is the first state to cut government funding for planned parenthood. they were worried the money would be used for abortions. a ruling expected in about a month. alisyn: last week he called the dismal report on job growth just a bump in the road, only 54,000 jobs added in may. 70,000 fewer than expected. austin goolsby is resigning. and they are saying a few more bad months of job growth could be catastrophic for the president and the country. >> there are humanitarian -- you know, you're small enough to see this. and if it continues we are going to see some civil unrest in this country. i hate to say that but i think it's imminently possible.

alisyn: lou dobbs is the anchor of lou dobbs tonight. hi, lou. alisynhe called this apossible d we could see civil unrest. do you think that is dramatic. >> reporter: there are 20 million people in this country who are unemployed. the issue of unrest is a separate issues. let's deal with the humanitarian crisis. we've had over 20 million people in this country, under employed, unemployed or have given up look being for employment for two and a half years. now suddenly the man who said is the economy stupid a wakens to that? his comments about unrest, i think whatever mr. carville's view of poe tension fo poe po pe

been torn up in the absurd policy direction of this administration. alisyn: what does it look like? if things get worse, why does it look like? are there food lines, homeless people, i mean what are we looking at in the future? >> right now we have a social welfare system that is holding up millions of people, and that is all to the good. what we do not have is an economy and a congress, and a president focused on creating prosperity and creating jobs and wealth. for the life of me, i cannot begin to understand why it isn't the for most focus of the republican party given that this president and the democratic part see have abandoned any emphasis on job creation and restoring prosperity. alisyn: carville said some else. he says if the job numbers say 54,000 per month which is what we saw in may that was such a shocking number for everybody that the president is in trouble

in 2012. that's the obvious. he says if it stays at the average of 160,000 jobs that the president will be okay. do you agree with that assessment? >> it's not even close. historically we know there has to be an unemployment under 7.2%. the only president to be reelected to a second permanent was franklin de delano roosevel. that is not in the cards for this president. is most recent gallop approval tracking poll which was yesterday showed him at 51%, net 51% which is remarkable given the condition of the country, the mood of the country, all of our g erbs o political challenges, two wars and a time limited, scope limited military action in libya. it's remarkable that he's held up. that will not be the case with higher energy prices, with persistent high unemployment.

alisyn: lou dobbs always get to have you. you can watch lou of course every night of the week, 7:00pm eastern time he's the ann of lou dobbs tonight on the fox business net work. bill: we will be there. in a moment there "happening now" rolls your way in 12 minutes time and jenna lee is working on a lot of stuff in the newsroom. good morning. jenna: we are working on a lot of stuff. we have details in the scandal of a new york congressman. do you know you owe more than a half million dollars in government promises? how does that work exactly? we are going to tell you, plus zombie consumers, steve moore of the wall street journal will tell us who they are. are you a zombie consumer, bill. bill: some days i feel like it. just tell me what to do and i'll walk down that aisle. tell me what to buy and i shall. see you, jenna. serious concerns over illegal immigration, why some states and local governments are bucking

the feds on checking immigration status.

alisyn: a georgia man is counting his bless insurance this morning after an encounter with a robber that almost took his life. these two golden medallions stopped a bullet from entering his chest. mr. singh the victim says he and his wife were working at their convenience store when an armed man entered demanding money. his wife was unable to open the safe, that's when he pushed her to the side and the suspect opened fire. mr. singh is recovering from cuts and bruises.

police are on the search for the robber. thank goodness for bling, bill. bill: that is one lucky necklace. getting word now on the fallout from anthony weine anthony weins conference. he said he made it all up, everything was a lie. questions came for 30 minutes and weiner stood there and took a lot of shots. the head of the rnc came out 20 minutes ago and said he should step down and resign immediately. we'll see whether or not that is the case. alisyn: after a press conferene he is standing firm. some cities are on the verge with a major break of the federal government. the law says they are required to check the immigration status of anyone arrested and share

that information with the feds. many of those local governments say they will ignore that law. massachusetts opting out yesterday, los angeles voting to decide today, william william la jeunesse has the report. >> reporter: this is the cornerstone of the president's immigration policy which says for illegals here you work hard, keep your nose clean you get to stay, you break the law you go home. now the latino lobbyist is pushing back and undermining that policy and the rule of law. under the program a criminal's fingerprints are run not just with the f.b.i. but also dhs. since 2008dhs ran about 8 million fingerprints. 500,000 of those were immigrants, mostly illegals. 200,000 were scheduled to be deported. about three-quarters had existing criminal convictions from murder to shoplifting, the rest typically arrested for

misdemeanors like driving without a license. now it is this group, the final group that some are refusing, some states it is are refusing to turn over to the feds, even though supporters say even nonfelons can be dangerous. >> if you come into custody for any crime that you have allegedly committed you're going to be properly identified, and we are going to use our partnership with the department of homeland security to protect our communities from that type of criminal activity and behavior. >> i wanted to make sure also that we do not create a system that starts to target people for very low level offenses that will clog the system. >> reporter: the feds say about 70% of those who are being deported are convicted criminals, but at this point in time there is this major push back by states and it is really undermining the president's policy and kind of the deal he

made with republicans that said we'll take care of the criminal aliens, for the rest maybe we'll have amnesty down the line. if the states buck this trend the whole foundation of the agreement, if you will, then breaks down. back to you. alisyn: sounds like they are having a man power issue as well. thank you for following that for us. bill: we mentioned this story, a fox news alert, earlier in the hour, we are waiting on a police news conference in blooming ton, indiana. we expect at that news conference this woman's parents to talk. that is lauren spierer ladies and gentlemen 20, missing since friday on the campus of indiana university, and there are very few clues to go on. we know she has a heart condition, that has always been a concern from the first moment. alisyn: and she needs to take medication every day. this is particularly troubling that she's been gone this long. bill: the news conference begins in a number of moments. we are right back as we await on that after this.
