they care about the cash. they haras you into making a quick decision with all those calls and he felt males, and if they can't get you online, they show up on post. one of the worst examples of this is a college recruiter who had the nerve to visit a barracks at camp lejeune and enroll marines with brain injuries. just for the money. these marines had injuries so severe, some of them couldn't recall what courses the recruiter had signed them up for. that's appalling. that's disgraceful. it should never happen in america. i'm not talking about all schools. many of them, for-profit and non-profit, provide quality education to our service members and our veterans and their family, but there are some bad actors out there. they'll say you don't have

to pay a dime for your degree but once you register they'll suddenly make you sign up for a high interest student loan, they'll say that if you transfer schools, you can transfer credits but when you actually try to do that you suddenly find out you can't. they'll say they've got a job placement program when, in fact, they don't. it's not right. they're trying to swindle and hoodwink you. and today, here at fort stewart, we're going to put an end to it. we're putting an end to it. the executive order i'm about to sign will make life a whole lot more secure for you an your families and our veterans, and a whole lot tougher for those who try to prey on you. here's what we're going to do. first, we're going to require colleges that want to enroll members of our military or veterans on your families to provide clear information about their qualifications and available

financial aid. you'll be able to get a simple fact sheet called know before you owe. know before you owe. >> [applause] >> and it will lay out all the information thaw need to make your own choices about how best to pay for college. second, we're going to require those schools to step up their support for our students. they need to provide a lot more counsel. if you've got to move because of a deployment or reassignment, they've got to help you come up with a plan that you can still get your degree. >> [applause] number three, we're going to bring an end to the aggressive and sometimes dishon esrey cruiting that takes place. we're going to up our oversight of improper

recruitment practices. we're going to strengthen the rules about who can come on post and talk to service members. >> and we're going to make it a lot easier for all of you to file complaints and for us to take action when somebody is not acting right this is about making sure you succeed, because when you succeed, our country succeeds. it's that simple. after all, at the end of world war ii, so many americans like my grandfather came home to new opportunities. because the original g.i. bill, by 1947, half of all of all americans who enrolled in college were veterans and you know what, they did pretty well. they rose to become presidents. and supreme court justices. and nobel prize winners. and they went on to become scientists and engineers and doctors and nurses. # million americans were educated under the original g.i. bill. and together, they forged the backbone of what would

become the largest middle class that the world had ever seen. they built this country. they turned us into that economic superpower. and we can do it again. we faced tough times, gone through the worst recession since the great depression, two wars, but you know what, we have faced tough times before. and all of you know something that america should never forget: just as you rise or fall as one unit, we rise or fall as one nation. just as you have each other's backs, what's always made america great is that we have each others' backs. each of us is only here because somebody looked out for us. not just our parents, but our neighbors and our communities and our houses of worship and our vfw halls, each of us is here

because we had a country that was willing to invest in things like community colleges and universities and scientific research and medicine and caring for our veterans. each of us is only here because somebody, somewhere, had our backs. this country exists because generations of americans worked together and looked out for one another. out of many, we are one. those are the values we've got to return to. if we do, there's nothing this country cannot achieve. there's no challenge that's too great for us. there's no destiny beyond our reach. as long as we're joined in common purpose and common resolve, better days will always lie ahead and we will remind everybody why the united states of america is the greatest country on earth, and as i look out at this sea of incredible men and women, it gives me

confidence that our best days are still ahead. god bless you! god bless our armed services! god bless the third division! god bless the united states of america! thank you very much! >> [applause] >> mig there you have it, president obama and the first lady, michelle obama, addressing the troops down in fort stewart, which is in hinesville, georgia, speaking about his executive order to protect the troops from things like scams, targeting college benefits provided to military veterans, promoting his g.i. bill in front of a military audience and there is speculation in today's "washington post" this was a visit that had two purposes: one, to promote that agenda, and secondly, to promote an agenda of reelection, hope to go target military families who tend to vote,

who tend to be very tuned in to things politically for obvious reasons, and you can see the president, about to sign that order, down in georgia. if you'd like to see more of that, you can watch it live, streaming on foxnews.com. in the meantime we want to get to other news for you now, including this: >> an alert coming in on new signs about our economy and they are not good. suggesting things are slowing down and the new challenges that that would create for president obama's reelection effort. welcome here to "america live" everyone, i'm megyn kelly. the new data on the gross domestic product released just hours ago, the gdp as it's called is a measure of all the goods and services produced in an economy. sort of like the doctor feels your pulse to see how that's doing this, is sort of the pulse of our economy. in the final quarter of 2011 we saw 3 percent growth. but for the first quarter of 2012, it slowed to 2.2%. economists had expected and desired better numbers than

that, about 2.6% growth, they were projecting. again, we are at 2.2. the obama administration now reacting, saying the economy is moving in the right direction, but saying more is needed. chris stierwalt is our fox news digital politics editor and host of "power play" on foxnews.com. chris, it's going in the wrong direction. and this plays into a theme that we've been seeing from the pundits lately, which is folks who support president obama saying, you know, sort of don't believe your lying eyes when you see you're unemployed and your neighbors are unemployed, we're coming out of the recession, the economy is growing, we're creating jobs, then the other side saying i don't feel it, i don't feel it, and these latest gdp numbers seem to suggest a lot of people don't feel it. >> well, a lot of people don't feel it, and certainly, what you saw, you could have a juxtaposition to what you just saw, the president giving a campaign-style speech in georgia, talking about scientific investment and echoing the stump point

speeches, talking to military families. he wants to be talking about that, he doesn't want to talk about a slowing growth rate because that plays into mitt romney's hands because romney argues yeah, maybe things are getting a little better but president obama has made it worse, made the recovery weaker and made it take far too long. megyn: you need to have 3 percent, that's what they say, generally a 3 percent growth in gdp to sort of start the engine moving again towards recovery, towards what we're used to in this country. you know, we're at 2.2. it's lower than they projected and lower than we add all hoped it would be. the problem for the president politically, chris, if it stays at 2.2 or goes down, does the -- do the american people pay attention to those numbers or is it more, as i suggest in my first question, more of a feel? >> well, it's definitely about the feel. these numbers are how we measure what people are likely feeling out there. we take survey, overwhelming majority of respondents in the latest fox news poll

said they thought the economy was still in the resession, but numbers like this not only tell what people are feeling but what they're likely to feel in the future. i point you to this, a recent financial times study they did of employment data in the swing states. in the swing states, job growth is even slower than in the rest of the country. they're having a much worse time in the states that will decide the election than they are at large. so when you see numbers like this and you see these problems, you get a sense of why the president wants to talk about anything but the economy, especially on a day like this. megyn: you know, that's fine, you know, seven months in advance, we have seven months to go until the big election. when do the people -- is there a point at which they stop and say this is the marker i take with me into november? >> so we're rolling with about a # percent undecided right now. that 8 percent is going to shrink and shrink and shrink. they will probably, if president obama is lucky, they'll split even lerks they'll probably go a shade to the challenger. the second quarter of the year, if the president sees a number like this in the second quarter of the year

or, as you suggested, worse, if things get worse and people are really hurting and these problems are accelerating, what you'll see is those undecided voters who are generally moderate, and the persuadable voters here, they're going to break hard against the president. that could be big trouble for him by the time you get to the middle of the summer. megyn: they're looking for trends, you know, are we going up, down, are we stagnant. chris stierwalt, thank you sir. >> you bet. megyn: we got brand new fallout after a top administrator from the environmental protection agency attacks the oil and gas industry. remember this from yesterday? >> [inaudible] >>

i want him, meaning the judge, to explain to me how he can let someone that's facing crij charges just go home. i'd like to see her stand trial. now, we would tell you the reasoning for the immigration judge's decision to let her voluntarily deport herself, but we can't, megyn, because those documents are not public. if they don't rule to hold her on monday without bond, she could leave as early as next week. megyn: wow. trace gallagher, thank you. >> reporter: okay. megyn: an alert coming in now, on a developing story. the showdown over the fast & furious botched gun running operation is now about to reach a critical boiling point. republicans in the house now say they will file a contempt order against eric holder. they are preparing the documents, they say. if mr. holder does not comply with their demands in connection with this operation in the next few weeks. go --gop lawmakers have been

megyn: well, the white house yesterday declined to quall for the resignation of an epa md consider -- administrator caught on tape touting his policy of, quote, crucifying oil and gas companies. but four more republican congressmen are now demanding that that administrator, al armandaras, step down in the wake of these 2010 comments just made public this week. >> [inaudible comments]

>> megyn: one of the congress machine now calling for this epa administrator to go is steve scalis of indiana. congressman scalis joins us now. thank you for being here. the guy apologized, he said it wasn't an accurate representation of his polices and he said at the time it was a crude way to describe the policy. why is that not good enough? >> well, megyn, of course if you look at what he said, this is his philosophy and the unfortunate thing is he's carrying this out. he's the regional director of the epa in an area where there's oil an gas activity and he's made it his mission to crucify energy companies and these aren't all companies that are guilty. they didn't violate rules and the epa goes after them, they crucify them, later

they file charges and the damage is done, and what's most concerning is this is a pattern by the obama administration of an antibusiness attitude and you've got regulators like this carrying out a radical agenda, rather than enforcing the rules and there's no place in the federal bureaucracy for people who are more focused on carrying out their own agenda than enforcing the rules of the laws that congress passes. megyn: is it antibusiness or pro environment because this guy's suggestion is that look, we've got limited resources, i can't go after all the law breakers, and if you look at the full contest of the remarks he was talking about, not just targeting rand rom companies but companies that they believe are law breakerrings, and setting an example so that given they have limited resources, other companies will fall in line, clean up their act without having to spend more taxpayer dollars. >> it's more in the lines of intimidation and antibusiness. it's not pro environment. because there are a lot of environmental groups that want to run jobs off to china and other countries and that emits more carbon and other things.

at the end of the day they've had a pattern, not in what they say but what they do, in going off companies that don't violate rules, that are not found guilty of anything, yet the damage is done because they seek out to crucify the companies. just to make an example that look, we're beating up on people that produce energy in america, and if that's their agenda, go join a private group and try to change policy. but the law of the land is clear, and they're not supposed to be policymakers. this guy was appointed by barack obama, and we understand what president obama's agenda is, but he's supposed to be implementing policy as an epa administrator, not pushing his own radical agenda. megyn: mr. armandaras talks in those remarks about how he does it, how he makes examples out of these companies he believes are law breakers or violating the rules. take a listen: >> [inaudible]

megyn: so he's saying the philosophy as you find them and you make your public image take a hit or two and the companies get in line. you say that he's unfairly targeted the companies he's doing that to. do you have examples, congressman? >> we've got -- there are a number of examples of the epa, and not just in -- in a number of areas actually going after companies, filing charges that end up being bogus. they pull back the charges but they make a lot of inflammatory statements and defame the individual companies and in the end they don't even bring charges or else the company is completely exonerated, yet the damage is done because the reputation is harmed and in many cases they have to shut down the projects and american jobs are lost in this process by the way. so it's a pattern. it's not just something that they're doing to try to go after people who break the

law but if a police officer accuses of you something, that's one thing, but there's a process. there's a court process. if you're innocent of those charges you shouldn't be crucified, to use his terms, because he wants to set an example and carry out a radical agenda. there's supposed to be a system in place where if you're innocent you shouldn't be attacked and crucified by your own federal government. megyn: so far the administration, the white house has refused to call for him to step down and epa administrator, lisa jackson, spoke out today, i'm reading it now, and said he has apologized, he's acknowledged his comments were wrong, she says they were inflammatory and they don't comport with the administration's policy, but it does not look like they are asking him to step down. in fact when she was asked should he be punished, she simply said we'll continue to review it. congressman, thank you very much for being here. >> thank you megyn. megyn: all the best. well, we have what may be someful biggest fallout yet from the fast & furious gun running scandal. we've confirmed a short

megyn: some harsh new criticism lesmed against president obama by the speaker of the house, john boehner, mr. boehner accusing the president of inventing a, quote, fake fight with republicans over the issue of student loan rates. so he, president obama, can score political points with

voters in an election year. take a listen: >> for the president to make a campaign issue out of this and then to travel to three battleground states and go to three large college campuses on taxpayers' money to try to make this a political issue is pathetic. and his campaign ought to be reimbursing the treasury for the cost of this trip. these are the types of political stunts and frankly, they aren't worth and worthy of his office. this is the biggest job in the world. and i've never seen a president make it smaller. the president keeps attempting to invent these fake fights because he doesn't have a record of success or a positive agenda for our country. it's as simple as this. the emperor has no clothes. megyn: now alan coomes, host of the alan coomes show and

mike gallagher, syndicated radio host and fox nice contributor. the house just passed the student loan bill to extend the low interest rates for a year, despite a white house veto threat. they're arguing -- everybody wants to extend the low interest rates on the student loans. it's a question of how you're going to pay for it and they have different ideas on that. in any event this has turned into this big issue and mike, the house speaker seems to be saying the reason we're talking about this now, the issue on which everybody agrees except how to pay for it, about student loans interest rates, other than jobs, spending and the economy and so on, is because the president is trying to distract us. >> there's a perception that a lot of americans have, megyn, that speaker boehner is sort of cozy with president obama, that there's been back room deals cut, and i was surprised at the intensity behind speaker boehner's comments yesterday on my radio show. he said the same thing. i mean, he was very vocal in his criticism of president obama. i think speaker boehner is clearly fired up about this and of course i happen to

agree with him. i know this has alan shocked, but i do think he's right. i mean, if everybody agrees, if both parties agree at not raising the interest rates of student loans, why is president obama going around doing these campaign-style speeches, condemning republicans over rising student loan interest rates? i got an idea, president obama, why don't you condemn the colleges? you're standing on the campus of the university of north carolina, why don't you start with them? you went off the oil companies, you go off the banks, pharmaceutical companies. he doesn't want to go after colleges because that's his base, the liberal intelligence sha, the -- intelligentsia. >> megyn: the president has been going on jimmy fallon -- >> oh my god, how dare he. megyn: there seems to be agreement about it. >> something you mentioned a few moments ago, it's not whether or not to do it, it's how we pay for it. what republicans want to do

is go to the prevention and public health fund and take money out of that, which would send money to localities to help fight prevention of disease. megyn: is that what he's been talking about? >> the very part of the bill that republicans like grassley and others have praised when the affordable care act was passed. it's not what should be done about the student loans, but how we pay for the student loans, and that's where the battle is. megyn: is that what he's been talking about on the college campuses or is he telling the students we've got to keep the interest rates low, trust me, i'll do that for you? >> yeah, but you know, it's part of the campaign for president, which is i believe the other side is doing as well. every president gets criticized for going on the campaign trail and talking to their base during a reelection campaign, and the other side always says they should refund the taxpayers for this. all that is done legally, all that money is -- it's all monies toward the campaign, come out of different funds, and this happens every single president, every single campaign. i wish you guys would come up with something new, mike.

it's the same argument. mike mike -- megyn: speaker boehner's attack was two fold and you've hit it on both issues, saying you've diminished the role of the presidency, by fake fights on the student loan, and parading around the country, mr. boehner's words on campaign trips aboard air force one. >> alan, it's not just you guys, meaning us on the right. my goodness, the front page of the times, the herald sunday and "new york times", gently taking the president to task for all the expensive campaign trips. i mean, to some degree you're right this happens every election cycle and the president gets blamed. the president is in full blown reelection mode. >> that's right. >> everybody knows it. but i think mitt romney's spokesman was right when he said that this president is flailing around. when you're picking a fight with republicans when there is no fight, when everybody agrees we're not going to raise student loans, there's no fight. >> the fight is how you pay for it. that is the fight. >> megyn says -- megyn is

right, he didn't say that. >> you can't do the legislation unless you find a way to fund it. that's where the fight is. megyn: let me jump in and ask you, let's say that's a legitimate disagreement and what the president has been devoting his time to. why is that? look at -- that's an issue. students care and parents of students care, but is that an issue that deserves a week of the president's attention, given what we have in this country right now when it comes to the jobs problem? >> i -- it isn't the on thing he's done in seven days. >> it's what he uses the microphone for. >> it's a good issue, it's one of many things the president does in the course of the week, he gives speech, the media extracts a sum of sound bites and says this is what the president is doing this week, as if that's all that's on his plate. come on. >> may i tell you why, megyn? he wants their votes. and he needs to rev all the college kids and say you're entitled to free education! may i get an amen! >> he had a revival the

other day when he said can i get an amen. that's great -- here's a man who has found religion. he hasn't found a church in washington, d.c., but it's -- >> oh, mike -- he hasn't found a church so he's not a good religious christian. so he -- he shouldn't be president of the united states. what kind of a christian is he, right mike? what kind of a christian is he? megyn: just as we shift into fifth grier -- gear, they're wrapping me! >> that's fantastic. >> may i get an amen, brother! >> megyn: have a great weekend. >> okay guys. megyn: coming up, it's like something out of a horror film, a couple claims the house they rented is haunted so they take legal action against their landlord. we brought thaw case in kelly's court a while back. however, the landlord is now fighting back with a very interesting accusation of his own. that's in today's kelly's court. plus, from former presidential candidate to potential prison inmate.

they do, in a huge percentage of marriages, and so what happened to john edwards, like many passionate people, it seems, he was moved in a passionate way by another highly successful person and they had a child together. i really object to this being the way we select leaders. we couldn't have gotten a civil rights movement off the ground if martin luther king were held to the same standard. he would have had his character assassinated because of his sex life. it's absurd. megyn: is it just his sex life? or is it the lies he was telling us in trying to be a man of family values, in cheating on a wife? i mean, cheating on a spouse is never good. cheating on your dying wife while she has cancer, really bad. >> very sad. but i can tell you, sadly, if you choose to call it sad, it is not that union common. and what do you do when you have an affair? well, unless you have an open marriage, you hide it. i'm talking about millions

of americans who then want to get up on their high horses and criticize other people and get into their bedrooms for their own purient interests. this isn't about splicing and dicing according to character our candidates. this is about americans want to go use others' sex lives to get high on erot sism themselves. that's what this is about. and you know what, he's not volunteering for it. didn't volunteer for it, it was a private matter between him and a woman, and they have a daughter. megyn: does it become our business as he runs for office? >> never. mug mig it's not that he just had an affair on his wife who had cancer, but you know, the sound, according to andrew young was edwards is say to go rielle hunter, just wait, elizabeth will be dead soon, she'll be dead soon, we can be together and everything is going to be different. >> listen, mark sanford was a good governor, martin luther king was a great leader, for all i know, there are female politicians and leaders who also have had affairs, and i think

princess diana advanced certain causes that had social values. in fact it is none of our business what kind of sex life people conduct. the right thing to do in general, if you're going to have an illicit liaison is to keep it secret, because why would you publicize it? and listen, marriage is tough. i've healed lots of marriages, even after infidelity and i a little say infidelity is over a reason to end a marriage. there are lots of good reasons to keep it going, like your kids, who seem to love, by the way, their dad john edwards very much. megyn: so you don't see this as an issue at all for america to be judging a would-be president by the fact that he's having an affair on his cancer stricken wife and gets done respect to fund the coverup, all the while -- >> i think it's no more relate vanity to me as taxpayer and me who wants our military to succeed than i would think of my neurosurgeon and his

behavior toward his wife as to whether he can take a blastoma out of my head. megyn: is honesty important in a politician? >> the way a person conducts him or herself in his sex life or her sex life has no bearing on how they will conduct themselves in other facets of their lives. it's a fal takes -- fallacy. no bearing. megyn: i talked to o'reilly and he was calling edwards a sarcy sist. >> so a o'reilly, so am i, so are you. >> and with a $400 hair cut and obsessed with the i feel pretty hair. does that not play into this? >> narcissism gets a bad wrap. you know who are narcissists? in order to write a best selling novel, you have to be a narcissist, in order to win the pulitzer prize, you've got to be a narcist, -- narcissist. to suggest that john edwards has a narcissistic

personality, i haven't evaluated the guy, but there are arguments against t his adult daughter seems really on his side and to feel like they have a special bond. was she fooled by him, was rielle hunter fooled by him, is he going to be a terrible dad to his young daughter? these stories are long. if that little girl they had together turns out to be the first female president of the once and -- of the united states and i hope it doesn't take that long, by the way, we're going to feel dumb and say wait a second, i guess they were supposed to have her, look at what she became. megyn: very interesting take, as always, doctor ablow, thank you very much for being here. >> all right, thank you. megyn: taking your thoughts on t. follow me on twitter at megyn kelly. up next, what happened when a politician in one massachusetts town said no to the pledge of allegiance and instead, read a poem.

megyn:y all still talking about that ablow segment, twitter at megyn kelly, what do you think. a massachusetts city board getting barraged with calls and e-mails after a local official decides to skip the pledge of allegiance at a meeting opting instead to recite a poem. there wasn't was a -- no! you can imagine, it did not sit well with some folks and trace gallagher has more. trace. >> reporter: the chairperson of the council was actually sick, she called in sick so the vice chair ran the meeting, melissa fraytag, and at the request of the chairperson, she read a people that was actually with -- it was quite nierks but when it came time for them to actually do the pledge of allegiance, it never really happened. listen: >> thank you very much for coming, our poet laureate, fine poem, on that note, then, we have to vote to accept a donation.

>> the pledge of allegiance? >> no sitting chair so i'd rather not tonight, thank you. >> reporter: i'd rather not tonight, right? she said pledge of allegiance. go back and look at board members on the left side of the screen, watch their faces because they look at each other and turn their head and shrug their shoulders like what in the world. look, here's the deal, fraytag says the meeting was running late, she had to move it along but 2 1/2 years ago this was adopted as board policy, she was on the board, opposed it at the time and now she decided as chair to skip it all together. the other board members say she didn't just opt out, she opted everyone out. listen: >> we have said it every meeting i've been at, but she took it on her own liberty toss omit it. >> she did block the rest of us from actually saying the pledge of allegiance. she didn't want to participate. she had every right to not do that. >> reporter: melissa fray tag says she's got 50 vulgar messages and threats and is afraid to go home.

here's mixed reaction from the town. >> it's the beginning of a slippery slope, when you don't say the pledge of allegiance. >> with so many issues, why are we worried about that one? >> reporter: by the way, fraytag is not running for reelection. she's been accepted into a graduate program, megyn. megyn: the poem instead of the pledge. beans, beej, the magical fruit -- no! trace, thank you! >> >> reporter: sure. megyn: coming up next, fast & furious fallout in critical stage, as a report surfaces that -- i'm still laughing at my stupid joke! darrell issa is here. are they about to hold eric holder in contempt? that's next. settlement or annuity over 10 or even 20 years? call imperial structured settlements. the experts at imperial can convert your long-term payout into a lump sum of cash today.

megyn: fox news alert. bombshell reports over the showdown over the fast and furious gun running scandal.

the house oversight committee is reportedly considering a contempt of congress citation. there was a report in the "l.a. times" that they drafted a proposed contempt of congress citation. that it's 48 pages. it's being drown up by congressman darrell issa. they had meetings in the top speaker's office and they were given the green light to move towards contempt of congress for eric holder. we are getting differing information from congressman darrell issa's office. congressman darrell issa is here. but this all relates to the "operation fast & furious." gop lawmakers have been claiming for months that attorney general holder has not quooptd their investigation and refused to give them the document to which they say they are entitled. welcome, everybody, i'm megyn

kelly. these reports are that it is a 48-page citation. it's in the works. it details the doj's alleged refusal to work with congress. it allowed guns to be shipped over to mexico, trafficked into mexico in homes of tracking the weapons to drug cartel leaders. instead hundreds of guns vanished, scores more turned up at crime scenes and two have been links to the murder of two border agents including brian terry. congressman issa will be with us in a moment and we'll ask him about this report in the "l.a. times." did they have this meeting in speaker boehner's office. have they drafted a 48-page citation against the attorney general of the united states. that's coming up.

president obama's reelection campaign raise something eyebrows, producing an ad questioning the presumption nominee mitt romney's courage. suggesting he would not have had what it takes to give the order to take out usama bin laden. flashback to the debate between hillary clinton and barack obama. this is the clinton ad that caused all the controversy three years ago. >> it's the toughest job in the world. you need to be ready for anything. especially now with two wars. harry truman said it best. if you can't stand the heat, get

out of the kitchen. who do you think has what it takes? megyn: joining us now to explain all this, our chief white house correspondent ed henry. >> reporter: the irony is rich because the obama camp was angry when the clinton camp was using bin laden and the war on terror in some of those ads. now the obama camp is turning to former president bill clinton to defend president obama and lay out how bill clinton believes he showed a lot of courage in making the decision to go in and get usama bin laden. this is a video clip of an interview released today by the obama camp. >> he had to decide. that's' what our president has to do. you hire the president to make the calls when no one else can do it. >> reporter: inside the white house they say it shouldn't be

raising eyebrows that they are pointing out the president made a gutsy decision to move forward and get bin laden. vice president biden was giving a speech where he went after mitt romney and noted previous quotes where mitt romney suggested it wouldn't be a good idea to go into pakistan and used that to attack romney and suggested he wouldn't have had the courage to do what it takes to get bin laden. the romney camp said they believe president obama has abdicated his leadership and it's clear the obama camp will be using this aggressively and the romney camp will be pushing back. megyn: chairman darrell issa is with us on this fast and furious breaking news. thank you for being here with

us. let's start with this report in the "l.a. times" that says house leaders, republican house leaders have drafted a proposed contempt of congress citation for the southern general of the united states. is that true? >> the working documents we believe the "l.a. times" have originated in our committee and are part of ouron going options in trying to get the truth in fast and furious. megyn: they speak of a 48-phage draft citation being drawn up by you and your office. >> by definition we made it clear repeatedly including when attorney general holder was before our committee that our patience is limited. though he agreed he was going to cooperate. he also caveated with a whole list of things he wouldn't do. the most notable thing is congress was lied to. the american people were lied to on february 4 of last year.

10 months later when they admitted it was an outright lie. we included in the subpoena the necessary request, tell us how that lie came to be and tell was happened during the intervening 10 months. the attorney general has flatly refused to give us any documentation after february 4 and he refused to give us the kind of information necessary for us to understand who works at justice today, particularly here in washington, who was part of this failed program, part of the decision, made decisions and wanted this program, and is still working there and the president should not have confidence by any means in those people. megyn: we appreciate you coming on being here. i want to just ask if you are comfortable answering that, if there is a 48-page draft citation of contempt you or your office have prepared. >> there is a document. of course, we have gone through and made the case for the various reasons that we have no

choice left unless the justice changes their position and changes it quickly so we can get legitimate discovery. 12 secret service agents made a terrible lance in judgment in cartagena. nine of them today are gone. in many ways a worse lapse in judgment that led to the death of brian terry and countless others in mexico. those people still have their jobs and we don't even have their names for sure. megyn: the "l.a. times" further reports there was a meeting in house speaker john boehner's office and the republicans on your committee were given the green light to proceed towards a contempt citation. that would be a step further earlier when you were upset with mr. holder. you have been just set with him for a while. he says it's political and he

says he has given you what you are entitled to. but if speaker boehner gave you the green light to go ahead with the contempt citation -- has that happened? >> the speak letter have to confirm some things. all the members of my leadership agree that the american people are ebb titled to documents in discovery that we haven't been given. he has the view that he gives us what he thinks we need. for those of us old enough to remember. richard nixon thought there were a lot of things we weren't entitled to that ultimately the american people are glad congress got. this is the same situation. it's about what happened after brian terry died, after these weapons had long since been denied and congress says the american people have to know and hold people responsible. megyn: what is the time frame on this? in your estimation, the attorney

general has been delinquent on his responses for months now. what is the time frame that you still see as available for the justice department to comply before they actually do get hit with a contempt citation? >> though we have a few other options for additional discovery, we are to a great extent stalled because of the coverup and stonewalling from the justice department. we have thoughts on who might be responsible and we aired some of those names. but the president knowing the truth and taking quick, decisive action, that will take the kind of discovery we are not getting and the justice is holding. these are legitimate documents that not only we have the right to know, but the american people have a right to know who decided and who covered up. megyn: president obama visiting the troops today and thanking

them for their service. at the same time his reelection campaign makes a new push to gain the votes of military families. will he get them come november? coming up we'll speak with a former air force general and former army colonel on that. it was like a scene out of a hollywood movie when an airplane passenger showed up with a rash. they lock down the plane and squarey doctors in rest -- pes per rayer toes swarm onboard. we have a video maybe you have seen before. does aspirin even work on headaches?

also with me fox news military analyst retired general tom mcinerney. the president appeal together troops. last time around he lost overall the veteran's vote but he won veterans who are younger than 65. the younger ones went for him. how do you think that will turn this time around? >> that depends on whether governor romney and the republican leadership can get serious about the military vote and military families. obama isn't much of a president. but he's a brilliant, ruthless, shameless campaigner. an and his advisors realize as commander-in-chief he can take air force one and give a campaign speech at every u.s. base in the world as long as he doesn't call it a campaign speech. while governor romney who hasn't

shown much interest in the military, can't hold a campaign event on a military base. they haven't figured out the extent of the military vote is up for grabs. if governor romney listens to the washington generals and talks about doubling down in afghanistan on the assumption that civilians make that soldiers make more war because the military people have had it. the people who have to actually fight have had it with afghanistan. megyn: last time around senator obama was campaigning on getting us out of these wars and he won the younger veterans. this time around he increased the troops in afghanistan but has set a deadline for withdrawal. we are all but out of iraq. he's not running against a decorated war veteran this time around. what do you glean from that?

>> i'm delighted that he's interested in the military vote and the family vote. i think that's a plus. now in direct contrast to that is:he doesn't get the absentee ballots out in the states he's not going to get that vote. if he's trying to get the votes and he doesn't get the states to get the ballots out on time that will be a problem. the strategy we have in afghanistan is not a successful strategy. we can still win with a smaller number of troops. we need to go to a counter-terrorism strategy. and ralph alluding to governor romney. if romney listens to the gins they will want to double down. that not going to win. the sergeants, the airmen, the soldiers, mat reens, the sailors, they understand we are not going to win hearts and minds in afghanistan and we need

to shift to a counter terrorism strategy. so governor romney is going to have to be able to articulate that in a proper way. on a day in and day out basis, these troops see this administration has taken our military apart. our aircraft, our helicopters, our vehicles, tanks, ships, they are all obsolete now. and the fact is we need more investment in the military. he has taken out over a billion dollars. megyn: ralph, what drives the vote among military men and women? is it all military? >> there is the veterans' vote, the older guys and gals who lean strongly conservative. there are the active duty people who lean conservative but can be suede either way. and they are smart and they listen to the policy statement. the third is the family vote. the spouses. they are a prime target for

obama as he has figured out because they are tired of seeing their spouse go away time and again, then listen together spouses when they come home complain about the hopelessness of afghanistan. obama is clever. he's a guy that doubled down in afghanistan, now he's taking credit for undoing his own policy. i see governor romney god bless him is absent without leave. he's not standing up on foreign policy issues in an intelligent way and he doesn't seem to know our military with any way. megyn: how do you think those folks will likely assess the choice that they have? >> the jury is still out. they are going to assess it -- they are very bright, they are very smart. they will see through any veneer of placating them and trying to play to them and give them certain benefits because they know what's going on day in and day out.

so both sides either -- obama or the romney side. the jury is still out, both sides can still win it. megyn: gentlemen, thank you. you heard congressman issa talking about potentially charging attorney general eric holder with contempt of congress in connection with the "operation fast & furious." scandal. is that something they can win? new developments today on a wildly popular story of a new jersey couple, the house they rented and the ghosts they say are living there.

megyn: a happy ending for the puppy known as cactus jack. it started horribly last week when the 8-week-old puppy became stuck in a cactus in arizona. fortunately someone heard his cries for help and removed nearly a 5 gallon bucket of cactus needles from him. the puppy known as cactus jack. the humane society reported 73 people took part in a raffle to adopt him. >> his new family is sarah

mesersmith. >> the thing that true pie heart to it was the fact that he just kept wagging his tail through all the hard times and heartache and pain. megyn: sara is his new owner. she says she is excited to be taking home her new best friend. on a delta flight last night. dozens of passengers told you have to stay on the flight on the runway in chicago. the cdc is sending in health crews wearing masks, gloves and body suits. we said respirators, but that wasn't right. all because of a mysterious

rash. officials were worried it was monkeypox. this is unbelievable. >> we are told passengers began panicking and pulling their shirts over their faces. the scare happened when delta flight 3163 landed at chicago's midway airport. there were concerns over a minnesota woman having monkeypox. apparently she had been in uganda finalizing the adoption. one of the children has been take to the hospital suffering from sores. she called her mother during a layover and her mother got the stories mixed up. the hospital then alerted authorities. tension began building among

passengers. paramedics examined her, taking pictures to be sent to federal health officials. >> you think am i going to make it off this plane. >> is it airborne, is it topical, what is it? do you cover your mouth? >> reporter: the plane was quarantined for three hours. the cdc cleared her at 6:00 after determining her rash was likely from bedbugs. megyn: you know who i need to talk to is bill hemmer. he confessed he won't even put the airport blankets on. that's how paranoid he is. i would pay good money to see his face head been on that plane. my assistant says if you take like a fabric softener sheet and

rub it on your mattress, that's supposed to help. and no static cling. while this incident may have been a big misunderstanding we are learning more about the disease. monkeypox is apparently scary as all getout and a rare disease similar to smallpox. it can be fatal. it can create bumps that look like bedbug bites it can be spread by infected animals and humans. another scene straight out of a horror movie. a new jersey couple claims the house they leased is haunted. so they take legal action against their landlord. the landlord added a new and interesting wrinkle in the claim he just filed of his own. that's in today's "kelly's

court." you heard chairman is a -- chairman issa over potentially charging eric holder with contempt of congress. if they do this, what are the implications? how would it work? what are the next steps? our panel debates right after this break. >> brian did ultimately come home that christmas. we buried him not far from the house that he was raised in just prior to christmas day. the lexus rx. why settle for a copy when you can own the original?

megyn: the family of usama bin laden has been deported from the place they were living in recent years. you are looking at video of the former al qaeda leader's family leaves their home in pakistan. they were ordered out of the country days before the anniversary of bin laden's death. they are planning to live in saudi arabia where they have strong ties to the saudi family we are told. it's been one year since the navy seals raided the compound killing bin laden. the chairman of the house

oversight committee confirming to fox news that the committee has drafted a document that would hold the attorney general of the united states in contempt of congress for stonewalling, they believe, their efforts to uncover the facts behind the fast and furious operation. if this happens it would be the most aggressive challenges to a cabinet official. can they do it? and what are the implications. joining me julian epstein and presence piecey. there was a report in the "l.a. times" that got detailed about the advance steps this committee has taken. issa confirmed they do have a document, wouldn't deny the report about speaker boehner authorizing with a green light. let me start with you on this, fred. is it time?

there seems to be an impasse. they want a bunch of document, attorney general holder says they are not entitled to it. what is the next move if not this? >> that's the only move. the attorney general says they are not entitled to the document. we don't let -- it's the attorney general and the doj don't get to say what they are turning over it's predicated on the subpoena. megyn: mr. holder says this is political. he says he's holding what is not responsive and that's the end of it. if issa and the republicans in dong go forward with this, how would they do it? >> first of all the first analogy to a normal case where there is a subpoena is a

terrible analogy and it's wrong legally. the attorney general has provided 7,000 documents to the committee. he testified about 7 times. he provided numerous witnesses. some of the witnesses they made available the committee hasn't interviewed yet. the reform committee is asking for things they are probably not entitled to, things like grand jury material. megyn: we know all that. >> no we don't know all that. megyn: we discussed it's times. today's discussion is not what they are arguing over. it's about how it would move forward if they need to move forward. we understand issa thinks he's entitled to a bunch of stuff and holder says he isn't. >> if you have a good case it's difficult to enforce. if you have a bad case it's difficult to enforce. the way you do it is the committee would vote to enforce

the contempt citation. if the floor votes to actually hold the attorney general in contempt there are two procedures the house would follow. one would be to go to the u.s. attorney and ask for a criminal contempt procedure. that's unlikely to happen given the u.s. attorney general is in charge of the u.s. attorney. the other way would be to go to the courts to seek a writ of mandamus. if you have a piece of information that's relevant to the investigation that the justice department is holding back. when you go off grand jury materials and ongoing investigation you will never win that fight. they won't win this fight. >> i disagree. 302 materials get turned over all the time. i stand by my analogy. the doj does not get to tell

what the scope of the subpoena will be. congress has the inherent power to -- though they wouldn't done it since 1934, to haul holder out and ask him to answer for his conduct and it's punishable by one year in prison. >> you are incorrect. megyn: as a practical matter the republicans control the house. this vote originates in the house. i don't want to say it's all political and they will vote along political lines. but let's assume that does happen. they decide to hold the attorney general in contempt. you say they go to the u.s. attorney whose boss is eric holder or oh go to a federal judge. does the judge exercise independent discretion in deciding wet there is probable cause? >> no, there would be two procedures if necessity dough a civil suit.

a writ of mandamus, you could get a declare torry judgment that the materials in question are not privileged. megyn: i'll let you get in, fred. >> grand jury materials which the congress would not normally get. or you could essentially ask the court even join the department of justice to refer the material to the justice department, to the committee. but i'm telling you given the broad nature of this request, i can guarantee this will not be successful. megyn: once they get past this point. >> here is the problem. historically when there is an issue between the executive branch and legislative branch the courts have been loathe to get involved in these things. i'm not so sure i agree. holder is not --

megyn: are you saying the judge is likely to say okay, i have gotten this contempt citation from congress if we get to that point. here is your rubber stamp and he turns on eric holder and eric hold hears got to comply? >> no. my guess would be the judge would punt and say this is a fight between the executist branch and the legislative branch and i'm not going to get involved in this. megyn: if the citation for contempt goes forward and the judge signs off on it, then does eric holder have to comply? does he have to fork over the documents? >> then there is a standing court order and if he doesn't comply he is in contempt of a federal court order. megyn: if he doesn't, what is the penalty? >> he would have to. i don't think the justice department would resist if there is a court order. megyn: how extraordinary would this be? >> this happened under the bush

administration when the judiciary committee went after the firing of u.s. attorneys about it justice department. they went after josh bolton, mayor yet meyer. and -- harriet meyer. but there the judiciary committee was going for a specific piece of information. at the end of the day the white house and the judiciary committee worked out a resolution where they had interviews -- when i have such a broad request for information that includes information that is privileged or exempt you can't prosecute a case intelligently. megyn: they say the house they rented was haunted. we told but this new jersey couple suing their hollywoods suing their landlords.

>> 110% i believe what they are saying. megyn: we had a ghost expert on this program who also believed in them. now the landlord is fighting back, filing a counter suit for $15,000. their bogus claims are scaring away potential new tenants for him. joining me, kimberly guilfoyle and jonna spilbor, a defense attorney and one-time former prosecutor. they are back and now the landlord has said i'm not taking this lying down. you people are a bunch of liers and not only have you cost me rent you are costing me future tenants because this story wound up on "kelly's court" now the people's court wants to have it on and nobody wants to live here. >> somebody call ghostbusters. i don't believe he has a complaint. he has to prove actual damages that he tried to rent the

property and he's out the money they would have paid if they honored the lease. i think they still have a case. i had some fun with the emails and comments about it. megyn: there is precedent in new york state recognizing some properties as officially haunted for purposes of the law. so for all you naysayers. can the landlord sue them for $15,000 for the possible loss of tenants. >> he can sue them because it's hard to get out of a lease and you can't get out after lease because you see dead people. i have some say there may be several people who want to rent that house if they think it's haunted. kimberly is right. megyn: apparently he hasn't met them. the landlord says he can't rent it. it's not like they quietly said we can't live here. they put it on tape and circumstance circulated it --

they circulated it and offered sound bites, evidence like this one. >> get out of my house. >>it is kind of scary, i wouldn't want to move in there. but they do have a case. this case on point in new york. what is the whole point of them making this up? they are spending more money by staying in a hotel than if they honored the lease. >> the lights are going on and off. they hear noises, sounds like somebody is there. so the ghost expert you had on said this is a liar level of ghost inhabiting the house. megyn: they talk about unintelligible whispering. the din of something lumbering 7

feet below. lights on and off without human intervention. they come home and find their clothes and towels ejected from the closet and all over the floors. even making those allegations, that can get you sued? >> you betcha. it sounds like they are living with a teenager. but i think the landlord -- this is a gray case for people's court. they will both end up winning some and losing some. megyn: no they are not. >> i think they will. this couple hired a ghostbuster, even the ghostbuster even said i can't say you are living with ghosts. >> paranormal investigators said they believe the house is inhabited by ghosts. megyn: they were very credible. we'll be right back.
