inside america's news headquarters. >> heather: i'm heather childers. u.s. and afghanistan striking a new security deal as american troops fight the more decade long war. will it impact the u.s. plans to pull out in 2014. >> gregg: plus we are learning brand-new details just what happened with secret service agents and prostitutes in colombia. why one lawmaker today says the president's security was more compromised than we horjly shot. >> heather: possible new clue in the search for remains of etan patz, is once again capturing headlines today. a live report at the scene of the investigation. >> gregg: we began with breaking news out of iran making a bold announcement today claiming it has cracked the codes of our spy drone that they captured last year. they claim they have begun building an exact copy of the

american drone. sophisticated aircraft is called the rq-170 sentinel. american officials say the aircraft malfunctioned and landed automatically. concern now is that iran will exploit the technology and use it against the u.s. here is john bolton former ambassador to the united nations talking on fox news about the importance of that drone. >> this is significant loss for the united states in terms of both the technology of the stealth grown itself. but also it's intelligence gathering capability. >> gregg: k.t. mcfarland. do you think the iranians have the ability to exploit this technology? >> within the intelligence community they say they don't think iran can do something as reverse engineer this drone.

the iranians face this. they are always bragging. couple years ago. they said this had a cure for aids and they didn't have any gays in iran. so they make bold announcements but i think the problem is they probably have sold or given the drone to the chinese or the russians. they do have the ability to reversion engineer it. is this intelligence compromised i think we have to assume that it is compromised. >> gregg: when it fell into their hands, the presidents reaction was to ask them publicly to return it. his alternative had been to launch an air strike to destroy it. was that the wrong decision in your judgment? >> here is the thing. you don't go ask, pretty please, give it back. if you are trying to negotiate with the iranians you don't beg them. you have something to trade. we have nothing to trade. so what they should have done is blown it up.

destroy it on the ground. keep that technology out of the hands of those who could use it probably the russians and the chinese. why is this important? because there are two critical technologies that were on that drone. one is the paint that is used on the surface of the drone that makes it stealth. it makes it invisible to radar. second is the ability of that drone has magnification to look on the ground and see things in detail. we don't think those other countries have which they could make use of. >> gregg: mitt romney said the president was weak and timid. dick cheney was very outspoken, it was a terrible mistake. help us understand -- wouldn't his defense department and national security advisors have said, this is no-brainer, just destroy it, order an air strike. it can done very quickly. we don't have to worry about it.

>> how do you know they didn't suggest that? whatever the deliberations were in the national security council. they may have given that as one option. my understanding that was one of the options but the president chose instead to ask the iranians to give it back. it's naive to the extreme if he thought the iranians were going to bif back a crown jewel they had just captured. >> gregg: let's assume for a moment they can exploit the technology. you you are doubtful about that but nevertheless would they be able to use it against us? >> here is the thing. we are already in equivalent with the war with iran. a war of sat lights and spying and sabotage and assassinations. if the iranians have the ability to realize where we are looking at them. using this technology for what? we're trying to use that to find

out where there nuclear weapons facilities are. we know they are buried deep under ground. if we don't have the ability to do that quietly, secretly without them knowing, it jeopardizes our intelligence gathering. the whole keep, especially right now is intelligence. we want to know what are they doing, where are they doing it and how far along are they. and if it's compromised that is serious. >> gregg: k.t. thank you very much. >> heather: another fox news alert for you. brand-new video out of syria showing a cease-fire that is in danger of collapsing. government forces pound ago suburb of the capital city of damascus with heavy military and machine guns. this new eruption of violence coming one day after they voted to increase the number of petition monitors to 300. the observers visiting one of

the rebel controlled cities in syria but they are losing credibility with the people they are supposed to protect. check out the reaction they received from protestors. they are speaking in arabic but the anger is very clear. [ speaking arabic ] >> heather: cease-fire was put into place more than a week ago. it's the longest of rebellions in the middle east. united nations estimates that nearly 9,000 people have died since the protests started last march but activists say the number is much higher. >> gregg: major development in the war in having a, the u.s. and afghanistan finally reaching an agreement on leadership. u.s. role in afghanistan after the withdrawal of american troops at the end of 2014, document awaits the signatures of president obama and hamid karzai. world affairs contributor

dominic is streaming live. >> it's been nine months of very hard bargaining with the afghans to get this deal. there were many stumbling blocks along the way but now the agreement, it's finalized in draft form and addresses everything from a military and security to politics to economics and cultural aspects of dealing with the afghans going forward. by that mean civic to human rights on the ground here. we won't get much detail once it's actually finally public because apparently it's been very loosely worded. we'll see a degree of memorandums of understanding coming out. include memorandums on the lasting number of u.s. troops that will stay in afghanistan beyond the 2014 drawdown and how much money the united states will commit to afghanistan every year. of course, this agreement is a

lasts for the next ten years, basically ten years after 2014 all the way to 2024. it's a big, long term commitment. prrbt is on president obama and hamid karzai to seal this deal before may. that is when they are collectively decide in may, many countries will pull back that support. afghan forces may reduce how many people in the army and police. it could affect the stability of the country in the long run. very pivotal agreement made. >> gregg: dominic, thanks. >> heather: we have brand-new information revelations about the prostitution scandal involving the secret service in colombia including information about the 12th secret service agent involved. he wasn't staying with the other 11 agents at the hotel but much

more sensitive location. steve centanni has more from washington. >> reporter: another secret service, indeed, being investigated. one who was staying at the same hotel president obama was using during his stay. the scandal erupted when 11 secret service agents came under scrutiny for bringing prostitutes to their hotel rooms. now a 12th agent has been implicated at hilton hotel according to the associated press. joseph lieberman says it raises further questions. >> we don't know at this point what that 12th agent is being charged with and why he is being put on administrative leave. now you are in the hotel where the president of the united states was going to stay. it gets more troubling. >> reporter: so far no hard evidence the presidents security was compromised during the trip

but the chairman of three different congressional panels are filing questions that the secret service chief, mark sullivan and top advisors weighing in he was surprised by the scandal. >> i must say that in my experience, the secret service has been completely professional so impressive. i always felt like they were willing to do anything to protect the president and the people around the president. so this was really disappointing. >> reporter: so far six agents have lost their jobs over the allegations and congressman peter king who chairs the committee says others will leave in the near future. >> heather: steve, thank you very much. >> gregg: new fallout from some recent comments by ted nugent. cancelling his scheduled appearance at fort knox, kentucky. here is what he said.

>> i'm telling you right now. if barack obama becomes president in november i will be either be dead or in jail by this time next year. >> gregg: we should point out the secret service, he has determined he is not a threat to the 'president. >> heather: extreme weather causing dangerous conditions as we move into the beginning of the week. a tornado ripping through parts of southwestern minnesota is happening yesterday. residents say they are thankful to be alive. >> we could see the tops of houses blow away. >> you could hear stuff overhead and see things flying. >> heather: in the northeast another storm most this hour, that could bring more than a foot of storm. is that right, maria? concerned about widespread power outages. >> we are looking at storm

system, it's centered flight and spinning off the coast of the southeast. it's this storm system that is going to track up the coast and produce more rain across the northeast and late tonight into tomorrow morning, they are going to deal with significant snowfall and very late in the season. we're talking about heading into the month of may. we're going to deal with the rain in areas like new york city boston and airport, an hour on average in delays. it's going to continue to track northward and continue to intensify. you will start to experience stronger winds in the overnight hours into monday morning along with heavy areas of rain. rain is good news because we are in a drought out in the northeast from maine down to the mid-atlantic but when you get this much moisture you are talking about flooding concerns. there is a flood watch in effect for areas like philadelphia, to new york city and portions of the city of boston. so again flooding concern out

there but along the interior portions of the northeast, we had a cold front bringing cooler temperatures. heather, this is where we're going to pick up significant snow, foot in the higher elevations in west virginia and parts of upstate new york. >> heather: we'll keep an eye on it. thank you. >> gregg: president obama's proposed budget could help the economy but hurt him much later on. why the non-partisan budget office is sounding the alarm. >> heather: breaking developments in cold case that have haunted investigators finding potential new leads in the disappearance of etan patz. >> gregg: still ahead a celebration turned ugly. riot police responding to violence at one university. how it all begin straight ahead.

>>. >> heather: welcome back. time for headlines, french president nicolas sarkozy making it past the first round. he was among those casting ballots today. partial results showed that he

finished second. >> riots breaking out at kent stated university in ohio. police used smoke bombs, flash grenades and pepper gas to break up the crowds, plus this --, yeah terrifying a trip through a mcdonald's drive-thru. propane tank accidentally blows up in the back of a truck injuring the driver. >> gregg: there is a brand-new report on a future of the nation's fragile economy. according to the national budget office, president obama's proposed budget would decrease economic growth and lead to high deficits down the road but it would give us a quick fix in the short term. let's bring in brenda butner and senior business correspondent. it would not only long term

damage job growth but economic growth? >> it would be economic, yes, and that is key to jobs. long term, that is the issue here. it's not short term. >> gregg: why? >> because basically a deficit crowds out all economic growth from the private sector and that is where you get the job growth. essentially you are using government funds to fund things. it's not, you can't print money forever. >> gregg: government has to borrow that money. borrow dollars away from the private sector? >> exactly. also key to this whole thing is called a height in capital gains tax rate. most people think big deal, it's for wall street but the way companies raise money is by going to wall street when you are buying a stock you are buying a part of that company. they are able to hire more

people and buy more things. if you put a tax on investment profits people are not going to buy stock. we've seen it before. it will happen again. people will not buy as much stock. so companies, businesses are not going to be able to hire as many people, to buy as many things. that could have a devastating effect on economic growth. that is perhaps the hidden bullet in this whole report. >> gregg: capital gains has fluctuated depending on whether congress raises it or lowers it. i was looking at graph every time it's raised people hold on that their stocks because they can't pay the capital gains tax. so they hold it and that deprives the marketplace of needed dollars? >> and they don't buy. you see it happening. >> gregg: it doesn't help the federal coffers? >> when people are not buying stock, they feel less rich.

there is a wealth effect, too. they are going to hold on to their money beyond their stocks. >> gregg: deficits under obama's proposal would grow more by $6 trillion. republicans estimate that their budget would produce deficits of $3 trillion over the same period. are they accurate? >> it's hard to tell. when you go way out and these go ten years out, who knows? they put the really hard choices in the last few years. i don't know that anyone is going to make a difficult decisions about social security and medicare which are the bulk of the budget. they put off those decisions until then. they are politicians, both sides of the aisle. >> gregg: kicking the can down the road. >> absolutely. >> gregg: thank you very much. brenda, good to see you. you can catch brenda every

>>. >> heather: breaking developments in a decades' old missing child case in new york city. six-year-old etan patz disappeared while walking to his school bus stop. 30 years later they are digging

up a up a home basement and new evidence has reportedly been found. live from the soho neighborhood with more. >> reporter: first sources that are close to the etan case investigation say that investigators have found a stain on a wall in the basement that they have been digging up behind us for the past four days. that potential evidence that will be taken to f.b.i. lab for further testing. they did pick that up with luminal process picked up blood but the not foolproof. they did not pick up clothing or bones have been found. they are not talking about potential suspects and not calling the handyman as a suspect. they say unrelated molestation case is a factor miller. he is said to have access to etan the time he disappeared and concrete had freshly poured after he vanished.

miller's work basement was searched but never dug up. he maintains miller innocent he has absolutely no responsibility for the terrible tragedy of etan president z and he grieves for his fate. prime suspect has jose ramos convicted already behind bars in prison. he is scheduled to get out in november. there was never enough evidence to convict ramos for etan's disappearance. f.b.i. has wrapped thing up in for the day and brought in tents in preparation for high winds that are expected this later. >> heather: meantime, we told this intense search in tucson, arizona for a missing first grader. isabel stel la was last seen in

her bed late friday night. her father discovered her missing. they are calling it suspicious and possible kidnapping. dozens of officers and various agencies are helping with the search. she is described as just under four feet tall weighing 44 pounds and hazel eyes. >> a showdown on immigration law heading to the supreme court this week. justices will have to decide whether the law interferes with the powers of the federal government by giving police too much power to pursue illegal immigrants. during an election year, the case carried big political stakes. take a look at this fox news poll in a brand-new poll out. immigration law has overwhelming support by a margin of more than 2-1. let's bring in our legal panel, david schwartz and kesha

schwartz. the state of arizona is usurping federal authority because they are requiring among other things illegal aliens to carry registration papers to prove that they are here illegally. here is the thing. how it could be usurping federal law because that is already federal law? >> right. that is one of the points. we do have a clause that says that federal law is authoritative law. but the federal law requires that already. i think that what people are failing to realize this is more of an enforcement of that old law and not so much of an expansion. >> gregg: isn't arizona enforcing existing federal law but doing so at the state level? you know the u.s. supreme court courted has said in many matters there is concurrent authority? >> for sure the state can help enforce the federal laws that

are already on the books. however, the state can't, they can't propose their own legislation. they can't enacted their own laws to preempt the federal law. >> gregg: what if the federal law conflicts with the federal law? >> it absolutely does. when you have such a comprehensive statute as the federal immigration statute is, it is within the sole discretion of the feds. the proper approach would have been to lobby congress and carve out certain areas. >> gregg: the lower court said having police check on the status of suspected illegals during a lawful stop places an undue burden on the feds. since when is enforcing federal law an undue burden? >> right. it disagree with that. as you stated, if they are lawfully detained, the police have an obligation to check their status as part of law. i do see a probable prob if there is no probable cause.

i think one of the issues with this arizona law is that it has to be make sure it's not racial profiling. >> gregg: this undue burden. look, we have new device called computers. on average to check the database on some of these registrations takes on average, takes 81 minutes. it's not an undue burden. >> look, it's not an undue burden but the bottom line, gregg, we can't run down the slippery slope of having each state enact their own immigration laws. we need one policy in this country. one set of laws and that has to be done at federal level. >> gregg: supreme court has said that states may take some steps to increase the enforcement of federal immigration laws. in fact the fourth, fifth, eighth and ninth and tenth courts have upheld. >> you can do that enacting

legislation. you can enforce the federal laws that are already on books, the state can work hand in hand with federal authorities. >> i think to alleviate this issue, like david said, maybe there needs to be a lobby in congress, all these states are trying to enact their own laws on immigration, there is a problem nationally. maybe the federal law needs to be looked at again. >> gregg: arizona's verification law was upheld constitutional, how is this different? >> it's not different. i think the problem again, people are not looking at the federal law, saying this is the exact same thing. but parts of this law that come up that is unconstitutional. >> gregg: now, police are allowed to stop people on the street, not because they look hispanic but only did if there is lawful stop, a traffic

violation of some sort, grabbing a suspected thief. do you still worry though about racial profiling? >> you alleges have to worry about racial profiling. the bottom line is we have certain constitutional standards adds as to when you can stop someone and when to arrest someone. those standards to have apply to everybody equally. you can't carve out separation. >> gregg: let me read the law amendment to get rid of the racial profiling. a law enforcement official may not solely consider race, color or national origin. not to be considered an alien that is naturally present? >> does it get rid of it? >> it's a slippery slope. i think if the law is not even more specific, you will have two officers that will say okay, this person of looks of this descent. they are here illegally. you have to be careful.

>> gregg: i want to ask about the court itself. kagen is not going to be deciding this case because she was solicitor general in the obama administration. she was involved in some of the litigation in crafting of this. so does that give the advantage to arizona here because you're going to have more conservatives than you will liberals? >> absolutely. she clearly would have voted with the obama administration. she helped write these briefs. she had every reason to get herself on out of hearing this case. >> think there will be mixed ruling. i don't think the law will be thrown out. >> gregg: some of it will be ruled constitutional and some of it will be struck down. >> i think it will all be struck down. >> gregg: i think it will be mixed bag. good to see you both. >> heather: it's surprising new study about the life expectancy for men and women which group will live longer in the decades to come.

in a matter of hours, the much anticipated trial of john edwards begins, but you won't believe who is on witness list of the prosecution. we'll talk with our power panel straight ahead. today, we stand against the tyranny of single mile credirds. battle speech right? may i?

. >> heather: a surprising study that may alarm many women. men are closing the gap when it comes to gains in life expectancy. 20-year study possible reasons why the life spans of men are improving. so let's bring in power panel, judith miller, k.t. mcfarland and jehmu greene. i have to add that our cameraman in the studio, all men are doing a dance. because they are happy about

this news. [ laughter ] >> heather: what is hag, what are we doing wrong. >> if you stop smoking and you don't lift heavy things in construction sites and you live healthy life, male or female you are going live longer. >> men are living healthier lifestyles now. >> women are smoking more and men are smoking less. the amazing thing about it is that it's all about lifestyle. it's about cholesterol, it's about being overweight, it's all about smoking. that is what is making the difference. >> and catching up to women but i think if you look at the fact that women sometimes, last to go to the doctor in of their family. they make sure everybody is

taken care of first. it comes to heart disease, many times, pharmaceutical companies were testing medications, women were included in the tests and doctors prescribe different medications when it comes to heart disease. so it's important that women are included to and how we instruct our doctors. >> if most women, if aware kid gets a i can, you will take a doctor. if you get strep throat do you get checked? no. everybody else first. >> how few more women doctors. few more women cardiologists. we know that women do not survive heart attacks as well as men do. >> heather: before we move on to the next topic. i wanted to point out.

despite the gender gap, between african-americans and white americans is growing smaller. so that is good news. >> all good news. >> heather: speaking of women, a bold move by the vatican cracking down on on the sisters, accusing the largest organization of catholic nuns of straying from teachings and promote radical feminist themes. >> i think the church, vatican is so out of touch with american women and what has happened. in 1975 there used to be a 135,000 men. now, we're down to 56,000 nuns. and that is shrinking and there are more nuns over 90. >> the catholic church has crisis. because there are fewer priests and nuns. they are going to have to listen to women, to nuns. they are going to have to probably debating, do you let

priests get married. there has to be something to figure out how to get more priests and more women into the clergy. >> i think at the end day, god isn't sexist. no religious institution should be either whether it's the catholic church or islam. we have to really appreciated the fact, yes, the nuns and bishops have come together recently to protest the republican budget. >> whoa! >> it really isn't. >> they work together when it came to healthcare to because some of these issues. they were divided over healthcare when it comes to budget and how they were looking at social deficits. >> but the problem boils down to this. the nuns leadership conference which has been called to task on this.

they have not extended a lot of energy on other priorities that the bishops hold dear. working to end abortion and gay marriage. vatican report says that is unacceptable to them. so when you talk about separation of church and state, should the nuns be involved with that. >> bishops went to late night meeting with nancy pelosi in the middle of the healthcare act, they are clearly in it. if they're going to to do it. why can't the nuns have their own stance. you go nuns. [ laughter ] >> the american called church because it's so large, because it's so wealthy has always been its own thing. liberation in 1970 where latin priests were getting involved. in 1980s we american priests getting involved in the nuclear movement. >> and one of leaders of the

death penalty movement whose very moving work, dead man walking led to a reconsideration of death penalty in many states. are we going tell her, no, you can't be an activist for issues like this. i think the vatican overreached here. >> looking at the future of the church, the role that women and girls are playing across the world, if they suppress women's voices it's going to undermine the respect of the institution. >> heather: i'm not catholic. i don't know if you are catholic. i'm not catholic so i'm not entirely comfortable telling what they should do. it's a good conversation. coming up next, an explosive trial expected this week in north carolina as john edwards faces a jury. could his mistress testify? our power panel weighs in next. only $79.99 for a lucid by lg ?

away and be with his family and see him ever again. >> or his $400 haircuts anymore. >> and secret service can use money to pay for hookers. [ laughter ] >> moving forward, what are the implications that come out of this in terms of political campaign financing. open records and that type of thing. >> that is the whole reason, you can't take money to use it. you have to use out campaign related activities. he didn't. he a girlfriend or out of wedlock, he misused campaign funds. >> heather: nothing else to say jehmu? >> a feminist group called spark movement is lashing out at legos over the new line of toys designed for girls. the group says the they hyper

sexualize girls depict go them with breasts and stereotype girls roles. i'm going to start with you. because you sounded the spark movement. >> when i was media center, this is one of last things to get off the ground. this is a girl fueled movement. this is to fight back against the sexualization and girls in the media. just like i said. you go nuns, you go girls. we are living in such a hyper sexualized world. these are just toys, youngest ages, where they are just now finding their identity. this is also a way of showing girls. >> about the toys. >> let's show the toys. >> i did a little bit of research and i went to a toy shop and i said, who buys legos,

he said the boys only buy legos. so only boys by legos. >> what about the girl legos. that is lego company trying to get girls in the market. >> choking hazard there. but what is wrong with this? >> the girls are decorating their home and they are doing their hair. and boys wanted to fight alien invasions. >> but they are not buying the toys. >> they are in hot tubs and in the beauty par loser lor. that is the problem, while the men are building the satellites. >> they are legos. so can't they be interchanged and you take one of the le governs and interchange them? >> these are the formative years where you are just start finding out what you are identity and

what if you are girl that doesn't want to play with your hair. sha shiams you away from being a scientist. it's a danish company, usually we haven't seen that level of sexism from scandinavia. >> you can't make girls buy the legos you want them to buy. their moms aren't buying the legos. this is lego company trying to appeal to little girls. >> ken and barbie did very well too but it doesn't mean a progressive person wants to buy her daughter. are we going back to the 1950s and mad man? legos for girls is something kind of 1950s idea. what girls want. >> i totally disagree.

alert. right now a dangerous spring nor'easter is slamming the east coast affecting millions, soaking rain, gusty wind and power outages and, yes, snow. all not mix. our meteorologist is live in the weather center with more. maria: heather, good to see you. 1 fruit foot of snow in interior northeast incredible stuff from the storm system with a lot of lack of moisture across the northeast so it is somewhat a welcome news but with this much moisture, in the northeast in a short amount of time you are talking about noting concern and big-time snowfalls accumulation of over 1' and this late in the season, and we are already in spring the trees have their leaves and the snow will weigh down the branches and we could be looking at tree branches down, tree damage, plant damage, and, also, power outages. we will track the storm system

which right new is bringing in a lot of moisture into the northeast. the center is actually right now centered off the coast of the southeast and the moisture is well ahead of it so we will have the moisture from the atlantic ocean to portions of new england, boston getting in on the rainfall. new york city outside of our studio, we have images of the rain coming down outside. and it has been a soggy day. a "slow go" on the roads. be careful everyone. and the airports looking at delays because of the storm system because we expect 2" to 4" rain in new york city and the rest of the northeast. we have flood watches across new york city and through boston because of how much rain we expect. the wind will pick up. as we head into overnight. but we do need the moisture. that is the good news. as far as snow, it will pick up tonight into tomorrow morning, so a slow commute in upstate new york, and over 1' possible in

higher elevations but lower, less snow. >> after a year of tense negotiations, u.s. and afghanistan officials have now agreed on a leadership plan for the future. the pact promises america's support after the withdrawal of u.s. troops at the end of 2014. and now the latest from kabul. >>reporter: after months of hard negotiations with afghan and the united states but we have a strategic partnership agreement. certainly in a final draft term it has to be run by washington, dc. this is what the agreement which is loosely words, says, this is about building security. this is about building democracy. it is also about building social capacity. such as human rights and civil laws. what they will decide in terms of crucial things such as u.n.

troop numbers after the combat mission ends in 2014, and how much financial assistance the united states will give afghanistan, that is part of the separate negotiation protest. it was important to get this on the table so, really, afghanistan and the united states could move on in their relationship. we expect president obama to work on this in may at nato summit in chicago, and the deadline is because the international community has to decide what sort of dedication it will give to afghanistan in terms of the military support and financial support and afghans have been pushing for this. a huge sigh of relief for america and now things can move forward in afghanistan. we will have a sense of where it is going. >> thank you, from kabul, afghanistan. thank you. >> iranian military leaders claim they are on the way to building a spy drone like the

one captured by the united states. an official says they were able to hack into the drone's memory and retrieve all of the intelligence data. american officials insist the drone's intelligence value is limited and iran claims it shot it down in december but the military officials say it malfunctioned. >> a new round of primaries will be held this tuesday in five states: new york, pennsylvania, connecticut, rhode island, and delaware. for news -- fox news will have complete coverage throughout tuesday. with the g.o.p. nomination wrapped up by mitt romney, speculation is growing over who the v.p. choice could be. and now peter reports from washington. >>peter: four years ago, wealthy americans boosted senator obama's campaign by writing big checks but that is

not happening so much because some on wall street feel president obama has unfairly singled them out for political purposes. that is according to a report in "new york times" on friday that blames the bad economy and absence of a democratic primary for lack of excitement. so 59 percent of the obama's campaign $196 million has been from small donors contributions of $200 or less. that is part of the reason they are off the pace of 2008. but that does not mean the obama campaign is having money trouble. the romney war chest has $10 million. but obama has $104 million cash and the manager says they will figure out how to make it work with the small checks. >> people build the organization $5 or $10 at a time to take on romney. we will have to dig deeper and

move faster. all of us working together. >> super pac's will help governor romney bridge the gap with the president between now and september, and priorities usa action which backs the president made just $2.5 million. >> thank you, peter. >> we are just seven months away from the presidential election as allegations of voter and election fraud pop up all across the country. people accused of stealing your vote, faking absentee ballots and new election fraud charges even touching the race for the white house from 2008 all in our one hour special "stealing your vote," at 9:00 eastern tonight. thank you for joining us. how bad is it? >> we track the cases and it seems the new cases of election fraud are popping up every week,

such as the case of indiana democrats charged with forging presidential petitions from the 2008 race, and a conviction, a republican campaign worker for robo calls that were aimed at suppressing african-american votes and an outspokenned former congressman says stealing elections is simple. >> how easy is it to steal an election? >> if you have someone that is nefarious enough, it is relatively easy to do it. >> former alabama congressman, a democrat, urochorda vis said he would estimate that the number of clean votes he would need to overcome the dirt votes cast against him and he said there are a variety of ways to steal an election. >> fake absentee ballots. >> fake the names of debt people. >> that has happened. >> so it sounds easy to do. >> if you have an intent to do it, if you are willing to do it, it is a fairly easy thing to do.

>> and there are the felons who voted in minnesota and we deal with that issue. >> and acorn? >> acorn, we deal with that. i sat down with the founder of acorn and asked him about it. >> voter registration officials hated acorn. hated acorn. they felt the group was conducting illegal activists with the fake names. >> too bad they were never able to prove any of that. >> the founder of acorn ran the organization for 38 years starting in 1970. he claims they got a bad wrap for -- rap for voter registration drive. >> by law and wherever we are, we were correct. >> what do you do about the thousands of folk voter registration names? >> the huge problem is that if someone tried to vote. >> we do not know if someone

did. >> we are sure they did not. >> there were no convictions but you want elections of honesty and credibility and that is the basis of this wonderful democracy. >> so we will tune in to the special report. you have con a lost work on it. thank you. tonight, the exclusive special "fox news reporting stealing your vote," 9:00 p.m. eastern on the fox news channel. >> police in tucson, arizona, are holding a news conference on the status of a missing six-year-old girl today and asking the community to continue to do everything they can to look for the young six-year-old last seen in her bedroom friday night and discovered missing on saturday morning. casey, do investigators have any solid leads? >>reporter: that is what they are talking about.

sadly, they do not. tucson police say they have received numerous tips from the public but unfortunately nothing has panned out, really. not only have investigators been scouring the east tucson neighborhood with k-9 units but they have been stopping the traffic coming in and out of the neighborhood looking inside cars for the six-year-old girl. the f.b.i. and the u.s. marshals office is involved. neighbors have been going door-to-door in the last 24 hours passing out flyers with her picture. here is her uncle. >> you do not think anything like that would happen to you and you wake up one morning, and you are in that situation. you are angry. upset. frustrated. confused. >>reporter: both of her parents lived inside that home where the girl went missing so it is not likely we are dealing with a custody dispute,

something we spree too often sadly with the missing children cases but we got news that this press conference was starting, really, about two hours ago and tucson police announced it, we hoped we would have better news report that she had been found, but, so far that is not the case. >> was there an amber alert that was enacted? >>reporter: no, there hasn't been, and that was confusing for a lot of people because after all we are dealing with authorities call this "suspicious disappearance," and a possible "abduction." so i asked the tucson police early ier when -- earlier when we spoke to a sergeant and some is what they said. >> we issue only an amber alert or the criteria is you have some sort of suspect description or vehicle or a last known location, even clothing

description and in this case we simply don't have any of that stuff. >>reporter: for now, 100 police officers from multiple agencies are searching while the family continues to hold out hope. >> thank you, casey, from los angeles. >> you could be paying for another big bailout coming up but not at home. u.s. taxpayers could pay even more to help europe out of their financial woes.

>>heather: we could be having tough economic times in the united states but that has not stepped world leaders from wanting us to to bail them out of the their jams with the imf wanting a $400 billion increase to help the european union with the financial crisis, and part of that is from uncle sam. so far, u.s. officials have refused the new request and now, the host of "bulls and bears," and a senior business correspondents joins us with her take. how would this benefit us for do this? >>guest: well the ... it is

hard to say it would benefit us. but, europe cannot fall, obviously. and it is one of our chief export trading pans so we need to prop them up in some way, but we have said "no" to this and the $400 billion has been raised and pledged by other countries and the united states and canada have said no. if we want to add more than the $65 billion that we have already backed in terms of loans we would have to go to congress and there is no way anything like that would pass right now. but the argument is, we would help europe. we have to keep them propped up right now and it is very important to our own economic recovery. now, why does uncle sam always the one who ends up holding the bag when hour economic crisis, we went through 2008, who took care of us? we d it was the federal reserve. we argue that european central bank is wealthy enough that

europe nations are wealthy enough to take care of their own. and greece and ireland and portugal have been forced to accept the i.m.f. funds. >>guest: they were not forced they said "thank you," but they are forced to take the austerity measures. that is the rub. they may not be able to accept that not end. we have seen the riots in those countries which because they do not want to take on what it means to take on this additionalled help they will have to change their way of life. and it is not at all clear they can do that so there will be additional funds going into europe and that is when the i.m.f. will come to uncle sam with hat in hand and say "lebanese give us some more loans." >>heather: will we fold? >>guest: i don't. i don't know. it is hard to say.

it depends on how bad the crisis is. it could be very bad. >>heather: thank you, brenda. >>gregg: music therapy is gaining national attention for the role it can play in medicine especially as it was used in congresswoman gabrielle giffords' recovery following the assassination attempt on her life and proving its effectiveness on patients is creating a new demand. and now, live from atlanta with more. >>reporter: him low. a whole new demand because it is treating a variety of illnesses from alzheimer's disease to pediatric cancer. and musical therapists say it is complementing a patient's normal treatment. >>reporter: jim is fighting auto immune disease in asheville, north carolina, and gets a treatment every two weeks by i.v., a dreaded process.

until the hospital introduced music therapy. >> i am more receptive to being here. i am not as concerned we with how fast it is dripping and what the pump is doing. >> studies have shown that it alleviates pain and it enhances what the physicians are doing. >> hospital hired a full time musical therapists who played requests songs for patients who are undergoing treatment, and she serves as a plusant -- pleasant distraction. >> you can see the we special reaction of someone not focusing on the disease and the illness, and thinking about music. >>reporter: when so many are going through is much a little added therapy is not just music to the ears. it is treatment for the body.

>>heather: north carolina is looking at legislation to license professionals along with nevada and north dakota and about to dozen other states looking at similar legislation. >>gregg: great idea and great story, thank you, elizabeth. >>heather: coming up the latest polls show a tight race shaping up. how will both sides try to break what looks like a dead heat? our campaign insiders will weigh in. and the first missing child whose pictures appeared on a milk carton and now a disturbing new discovery in the search for etan patz. ♪ hey, dad, you think i could drive? i'll tell you what -- when we stop to fill it up. ♪

>>gregg: and now police in new york city uncovering possible

new evidence, a suspicious establish on a basement wall in the search for the remains of etan patz who vanished in 1979 while walking to the school bus stop. and new concerns in syria that the fragile ceasefire there is in danger of collapsing. as reports of government troops firing on the suburbs of damascus. and a mysterious explosion heard across a large spot of nevada and california this morning prompting a flood of emergency calls. witnesses reported seeing a fireball streaking across the sky at the same time. it was likely caused by a meteor. >>heather: more holds will roll surrounding the secret service. there is still a lot to be learned about what really happened in the colombian hotel and law makes will get to the bottom of it. a dozen agents have been implicated and six have lost their jobs. and now from washington, steve,

what more do we know of the latest agent to be placed on leave? >>reporter: we knew of 11 and now there are 12 agents involved and this wasn'ted in a -- and this man was involved in a parate incident. most of the agents who were involved in this scandal had rooms at the same he tell brought initial altercation took place that brought the attention to the agents' misconduct but there is a new and troubling twist to the story. >> what was striking and significant to me is that the 12th agent now on leave as of friday, was not staying at the hotel brought other agents were staying, but at hilton. and the hilton is significant because that's where president obama was going to stay. >>reporter: lieberman is one of free committee chairmans with serious committees for secret service director sullivan. the pentagon also investigating since 11 u.s. military personnel

have been accused in the same scandal. >>heather: what is the obama administration saying? >>reporter: everyone is embarrassed and shocked. even the president's top re-election advisor, david axelrod said he was disappointed with the secret service. >> i was surprised. people being what they are you never totally surprised in any organization things can go wrong. but i must say in my experience the secret service has been completely professional, so impressive. >> president himself was briefed by the director sullivan on friday in the oval office. >>heather: thank you. greg the race for the white house is looking razor thin with the latest national poll possible obama and romney

matchup has the president with 45 percent of registered voters and romney with 46 percent, with the latest pole giving president obama a slight edge with 47 percent and about three points higher than romney and now our campaign insiders, former pollster for clinton, and pat caddell, a former pollster for jimmy carter. and the president had many advantages, should he be way ahead? >> well, if i were president obama i would be worried that i'm not further ahead of a damaged report leader, presumptive nominee. there is a lot of ammunition for obama to use against romney, but with the economy, each week we

talk about it on our segment that the economy is a little weak. this week, obama's numbers go down. when he has a good week on the and he goes up. it is tied together. he has to be worried to death that the economy is softening and if it doesn't improve by election day he could be defeated. >> that is right. we know there is data in the polls showing a greater correlation between how people see the economy and their vote for president than any time they have measured this in history. gallup is our index that goes back the furthest. that is true. and i think the president, i would be worried because if you look inside the polls, he has such advantages on a lot of intangibles such as ability, whatever, but he is not getting a big enough lead. he had a big lead before.

this is a referendum on the president or a choice? right now when it is this close it is looking like a choice. >> speaking of definition, obama is seen as the protector of the middle-class and romney the guy who can fix the economy. >> the problem for obama, the economy is the issue. man to man, president obama, beats romney but this is not a personality choice as much as the obama campaign will try to make it that but about the direction of the country. and the polls you cited are critically important to the definition of the race. but neither candidate has defined the future. where they want to take america. so we have this. >>gregg: in he the president has six-point lead but look at this: 71 percent of obama voters are voting for him and 63 percent of romney voters say they are voting against

president obama. with just 29 percent saying, well, i am voting for romney. almost the same in florida. similar phenomenon that a majority of romney voters are voting against president obama. pat what does that tell you? all that right now this is the reason we are seeing this close race is that it is pretty much right now more a referendum on the president and his performance. romney is not getting people to vote for him because -- and he has real problems for that sheehan alternate to a president who has mixed reaction from the american people. and that is why the people voting for him are for him. this is what needs to be changed. there is room to redefine the campaign one side on the other. i feel for obama, why fear for him but i fear, i fear they are so into what i saw and tried to do in 1980, and this is much

more like 1980 they are walking away from what the future will be and pinning their hopes on just a vicious negative campaign against romney. trying to make it a choice. >>gregg: and one more ohio stat, 70 percent of ohio voters dissatisfied with how things are going in the country today and congressman, given that unhappiness, should the president disapproval rating be higher than it is? he barely is underwater, he is in the 40's. >> but here is the secret. inside the republican party of ohio is a civil war that has been going on between the governor and the state party. they are very unhappy with both sides. republicans, the name, the brand, is damaged at the moment in ohio. romney is inheriting some of that. he needs to win ohio. obama doesn't have to win it. romney must win ohio. she in trouble there.

>> speaker boehner unleashed a scathing condemnation of president obama in a sit down interview this week saying "he's failed to lead, he lacked any courage to help tackle economic problems." here is more. >> the president checked out last labor day. he spent the last six months campaigning from one end of the country to the other steady of working with members of both political parties here in washington, dc, to address the serious challenges that our country faces. >>gregg: he has been around the block a few times, but i cannot recall a speaker unleashing on a president quite like that. >> no, two are three reasons. first, independents are the key swing group in ohio when speaker boehner is saying, i tried to compromise. we triad grand bargain but he upped the ante. and he is flying -- playing off the statistic that 56 percent

think we are, the country, is off on the wrong track. what the republics and romney are trying to do, not define the race on their terms with a vision for the future but to say it is all obama's fault. >> this is the first time i have seen the republican leadership mount an attack on the president that was anywhere in the ballpark which is he's not leading. we were willing to compromise. rather than whatever they have been doing they went right at the achilles' heel. he is not a real leader that is why it sounds effective. he has been attacking the republicans with such end vehemence this is reciprocal. >> 38 straight months of unemployment above 8 percent and he added $5 trillion to the debt, gas prices have doubles and the keystone xl pipeline is haunting him, now, and home sales are down, and housing in a free fall that is tough to run

on. >> so why shouldn't we republicans be able to win? we should be able to beat that guy. >>greg: you should be way ahead. >> we don't have to be ahead in april but be ahead in november and it is not impossible we will be ahead but we have been talking, the three of us, this has sometimes the feel of 1980 where reagan was never ahead of jimmy carter until the end and, then, at the end it was an explosion, a land side. ♪ [ slap! ] [ slap! slap! slap! slap! ] [ male announcer ] your favorite foods fighting you? fight back fast with tums. calcium rich tums goes to work in seconds. nothing works faster. ♪ tum tum tum tum tums

and chris wallace asked him about that controversial comment on fox news sunday. >>chris: what did you mean when you said romney doesn't talk that way? >>guest: well, he has the right prescription for america, he is meeting the objective i hoped our party would meet and offering specific, positive, constructive remedies for our debt problem and our slow growth problem. as things go i encourage him to express the very same principles more often from the standpoint of the young, the poor, those would have yet to start up the ladder of life. >>gregg: doug, was he walking it back? >> he was walking back a bit but not all the way saying not only does this have to be a vision but this has to be an inclusive republican party. the problem with the republicans, the primary electorate is so conservative,

that romney, being severely conservative, as he characterized himself has not been inclusive like reagan. >>gregg: do you think daniels was telling the truth? >> absolutely. he has walked the walk. he did it in the reply of the state of the union which we talked about which was impressive for that terrible thing to try to have to answer the president but he did. he talked of constructive idea for the republican party. about the crisis of the country with the deficit. and, about helping the disadvantaged. one of the things republicans need to understand is empathy matters in politics. having attachment to voters showing you care and be able to speak to those who do not speak for themselves it deeps the republicans from being so hard edged and crass. >> did you notice how daniels was dressed today? that is a message in and of itself.

>> but that is daniels and romney ought to heed him. >> as least he wasn't wearing a sitter vest. >>gregg: congressman, you and your colleagues have put together a checklist for the candidates and i want to quickly name romney's checklist you have put together. one is a turn around expert who will turn around the economy. project a positive inspirational message. here is what i want you to answer, look and act like a president. stop trying to be likable. is that what daniels was saying? >> he was sayings you have to inspire people with a positive message. you put up the people against obama are voting for romney and heel get all the anti-romney votes but sitting out there in all of the states will be about 7 percent of the vote who were undecided. they can be won over, in part, by an inspirational message from

governor romney. he has that in the background where he can say good things he will do, not just trash obama. we are already indo that. we can go beyond that. that is what daniels needs to talk about. >> and he had an opportunity this weekend and didn't use it when the space shuttle was retired, the president is for all federal spending except for space and cutting defense, for romney to talk about the idea that we can have this, we can do things, would be very positive. it is about american exceptionalism. he doesn't use it. another is the corruption going on, the "wall street journal" said people feel president obama has not changed washington and they think romney would change more. >> and now the checklist for the president to be fair and balanced. you have the following, use all the presidential powers to goose economic growth, using

surrogates, and commercials and super pacs and out.org state by state on the ground. >> they are doing the third one, they have an aggressive grass roots campaign and spent a lot of money on, and heck of one in ohio. >> huge. >> what bears most common is the first. we do not have an idea from the president what his vision is. we have a lot of attacks, we have a lot of positions. and covering their positions on figure but ultimately we don't know where the president is going to take the country in the second term. talking about 1988 if we don't have a vacation for the -- have a vision for the country going forward the president runs that risk. >> they will ask what makes the next term different from this other than you are not you are opponent? we suffered in 1980 from not producing that message. and the obama administration has abandoned it in favor of what i call being a short order cook. >>gregg: and now two sound

sides, obama and then romney. i wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. >> president is a nice guy but we cannot afford him for four more yours. >> a review of the respective themes. >> absolutely. the president is playing the class warfare thing given a dig to the rich guy, romney, right? that is not presidential. really, it isn't right for a president to attack his fellow american whose is done well. unpresidental. and the other, that is romney being smart. he is saying, he is a night guy. but he is not up to the job. that ultimate limit is what will take down obama. >>gregg: thank you, gentleman, good to see you. our campaign insiders, thank you. you can get more from the campaign insiders every monday at 11 a.m. at 11 a.m. and follow them on twitter.

is brilliant. >>guest: this is elegant. based on, started out in rats they looked, they bread rats for depression and anxiety and extracted gene merle in the brain and blood and compared to known kids who had depression and found a correlation, 11 or 12 of biomarkers and not like cholesterol but with a gene trait, a trail, that told you these kids truly have something wrong that requires an earlier intervention. this is really important and very elegant. >>heather: you talk about early intervention what is the risk associated with a test like this of discrimination, future discrimination? >>guest: look, there are false positives. you could be marked as having some gene disorder. that is a real problem.

you need to make certain that the tests have very few false positives. it will be a cost involved. right now we are confused. we cannot tell which the young adults are going to go on to major depressive disorder with the risk of suicide. it will take about five or ten years to be available but it is the beginning, what is so amazing is the nature of the research. they are looking at gene biomarkers for depression, but they had a revelationary way to look at breast cancer based on gene, so it will help us decide who has the disease who is at risk for the disease, and which treatments are likely to be more effective. this is personalized medicine. one size doesn't fit all. not everyone with depression needs to be treated. it will help us personalize it. and save us a let of money and a
