4:33 pm
have on the race important the white house and matt shap joins us and joe sestak. thanks for joining us today. matt i'm going to start with you is this purge list an attempt to protect the voter list or to sway the outcome of the election? >> no, it's an attempt to make sure that the vote that happens in florida in november is one the american people have confidence in. i spent over a month during the recount in the presidential election of 2000, when races are close, voter fraud can make a difference. not just fraud but the small decisions that are made on which ballots are accepted or not accepted can make a difference, florida is doing the right thing. i think the obama administration is looking like old style chicago hat hacks when they try to stop people in florida to make sure that the american principle is upheld.
4:34 pm
>> heather: kind of harsh words from matt? >> i applaud the governor of florida to make sure that one of bedrocks of accurate voter lists are actually that way but also know that the obama administration department of justice did the right thing. by the national voter registration act of 1995 no state in the union can try to have a wholesale purge of the voter list within 90 days of election. the election is in august for the primary in florida. second, i think that you cannot have accurate voter lists that could harm actual people who are on the voter registration and kicked off. that is why the republican resigned in february and said, i can't go by this process. we're relying upon inaccurate databases too close to the election. u.s. secretary of state wrote to the government and said we don't
4:35 pm
have the means to know with accuracy whether we have the right types of databases. can you help us? my point is and that it leads to portray execution. let's getable rat databases but not try to do it outside of the law within 90 days of the election. let's do it right as democrats and republicans together. >> heather: let's take a closer look at the numbers. a search of the database, it turned up an initial list of about 180,000 people who were registered to vote but could be possibly non-citizens. florida has 11 million registered voters and hispanics were most liking to be flagged, 59% of those singled out were hispanic that account for 13% of the active registered voters.
4:36 pm
matt, does this unfairly single out groups? >> in a recent poll, 60% of americans said voter fraud is real. black congressman who second barack obama's nomination in denver three years ago who is now switched spearts and is republican said he has seen voter fraud in the african-american communities in the congressional district he represented. there is no question that voter fraud occurs in this country. it could even occur in florida. the fact that these election officials are trying to take these appropriate steps to make sure their voting record is as clean as possible, they are just human beings. there is always going to be an error rate. the good thing, i tell your viewers, if you are told that you are not on the voting role, go ahead and vote. you cast what is called a pro vigils ballot. these people won't be denied their chance to vote.
4:37 pm
at the same time shouldn't we balance out by taking the thousands of people that have no legal right to vote. >> they are voting illegally. that is fraud. >> heather: and florida's voting registration say take 2000 and governor george w. bush 500 vote victory over vice president al gore won the white house in 2008. president obama won by 2.8%. 2012 looks just as close if not closer. 29 electoral votes up for grabs. what is the significance of state. >> it's very significant. it's the process. the association of county supervisors of all the 67 counties said we're not comfortable with this. after they were given the 2600 voters, maybe 180,000, maybe
4:38 pm
2600 we should check on. after they did the first 500 they were finding world war ii vet that fought in the battle of the bulge and won the bronze star. i know it's a battleground stated but i care after 31 years in the military that we do this right. if you want to focus on something, remember 5% of the vote in florida of overseas voting is military. 18% of their vote were uncounted. make sure they are counted. >> heather: thank you very much. we do know it will be a close one. >> gregg: is it all for naut. saber rattling from iran's supreme leader whether international talks is a waste of time. a new statements from the rogue regime and what the world can do

well. sanctions are taking their toll on the economy. iran is growing internationally isolated. all these things spell trouble for the regime down line. when he says these things about israel, yes, there is animosity but there is vulnerability. >> heather: you mentioned sanctions, last three and a half years obama administration increased sanctions with tough language but no impact. what further actions should we take or could we take? is there any further sanctions left. why should we believe they should work now? >> there is the upcoming european oil embargo in july. that is going to be very tough for them to exported oil and earn cash. we have the upcoming talks in moscow starting mid-june. we'll have to see what happens during those talks, whether iran. for iran to make compromises

bail so the fact he didn't review it doesn't matter. >> gregg: but the state of mind and honest and credibility is what is important. prosecutors also claim that zimmerman failed to tell the court about the second passport which he failed to turn over. >> it's a really big issue. i was former judge. when an individual comes before the court and they say, i can be released into the community. i have the connections in this community. i am not a flight risk. these are our finances. judge expected to take that person at face value. they understand it's very formal proceeding and now the judge says, the judge says there is initial showing what he said it was not truthful. so it is devastating for zimmerman and he has a huge media base looking at everything that happens. >> gregg: david, if the judge decides zimmerman was dishonest
4:54 pm
can't that impeach his credibility. after all he gave statements to police which will surely be introduced as evidence? >> no, that can't be used against him unless he takes the stand. biggest thing here -- >> you know something. >> his statement will come in but through law enforcement. >> medical evidence proving that his defense is legitimate. that proves it was a point blank shot, it was death match. >> gregg: now are arguing. i want to argue the procedure here. mercedes, i wanted to say it to you, out of court statements can be impeached even if he does not take the witness stand, right? >> he doesn't have to take the witness stand. what the law officials will come forward and say the statements he made, it will impeach his credibility, not directly because he will unlikely take
4:55 pm
the stand. but all signs are showing that he won't take the stand and you can do a direct impeachment but you can marshal in evidence through statements he made. >> i think, gregg, there is no doubt he will take the stand because he has nothing to hide because this case holds water based on the evidence. >> gregg:ness the case gets dismissed before it gets to a jury and i bet he has a 50/50 chance that may happen. good to see you both. >> heather: and items you have in your medicine cabinet could it prevent cancer. brand-new research coming up. stay with us. instead i g heartburn.

5:02 pm
steal the thunder. and the p.r. machine wanted this all about the queen so this morning when the reports were coming out about when she would be where, what time the boat would launch, there was no pension of when the rest of the royal family would be joining in the fun and clearly throughout they wanted the queen to be front and center. she is the sign of stability for the british people. today there was a new poll that came out in london and the papers saying that 35 percent believe she is the most important monarch in the entire history of the great country of great britain and people feel she is more in touch with their lives by overwhelming margin, who understands you and your problems better, the queen, or politicians? and 35 percent say the queen and only 9 percent say "politicians." so interesting news.

5:05 pm
we can attend the economy. >> a congress decided there is a political advantage in putting ideology ahead of country. >>reporter: democrats pointing out congress has not passed the president's job initiative and saying he should an ailing economy and put it on the right track creating four million new jobs. but on the g.o.p. side, they are pointing to the dismal numbers and squarely blaming the president saying he is trying to avoid responsibility for a lack of job growth on his watch. >> when you don't have a good record you attack your opponent and try to shift the blame. what the president needs to do is say how we will repair the economy. he was the guy that was going to unite the country. >> and governor romney said americans have put the largest economy in the hands of a president with no executive leadership experience. >>gregg: thank you, steve,

fire was set. four of the victims were in the back cargo area of the s.u.v. and the other in a rear passenger seat. investigators say there is evidence that suggests other people were in the vehicle that made it out alive and perhaps the people responsible for setting the fire because the front driver seat and the front passenger seat both empty when investigators got there. >>heather: thank you, casey, from los angeles. >>gregg: parts of the northeast are coping with severe weather this weekend. the threat could linger for several days. in pennsylvania they are cleaning up the remnants of a tornado from friday night with high winds knocking down power lines and damaging several homes. >> devastation. complete shock. >> terrible. never had anything like this happen to me.

important. opposed to desktop and the internet. but mobile is hard to make money on which is important when we look at the economy, of course, as we talk about. so we have to be patient making money with mobile but mobile is spreading. so, that is an interesting dichotomy. >> when the old folks get on the site like facebook you know it goes downhill. old folks like gregif? >>gregg: that is not true. i am an old folk. >>heather: he is a friend. one of my friends on facebook. the pictures are interesting. >>gregg: you saw those, right? >>heather: you can catch brenda on "bulls and bears," every saturday at 10:00 a.m. on fox news channel. i want to know about the pictures. >>gregg: big changes coming to

5:30 pm
votes. and 270 needed. but that is a drop from a few weeks ago when he was at 253. many states used to be blue. now they are in the yellow column, a toss up. what happened to the lead? we bring in campaign insiders, doug, pat caddell, a former pollster for president carter, and john leboutillier, a former republican congressman for new york. i can tell by the body language, pat, you want to get into this right now. what is going on here? why the drop? >> what this is all precedes the economic numbers we had on friday. the president's situation has been in decline if a few weeks. we are seeing it close up. the republicans are rallying behind romney faster than anyone thought they would. the president has had a rough time. he faces a june that could be
5:31 pm
the cruel month of all but we now see not only the national shift but the electoral college. right now obama is not jumping as high as he was. >>gregg: doug, pat is right, this is not taking into consideration what happened on friday, unemployment numbers went up and all the other unemployment numbers the last couple of months were revised down. >> i saw that, pat is right. the electoral map is moving die knack -- die -- dynamic. virginia is trending down, and you move the toss ups to governor romney, and you have a tie race or governor romney lead. >>gregg: what confuses people, congressman, if the president gets low approval ratings as he did in handling the economy, why is he tied?
5:32 pm
>>guest: well, he is the president. romney has come out of the republican primary somewhat damaged but that seems to be getting better. there is good will toward obama as a human being but the lead, he is under 50 percent so he is going down into the lower 40's. we will look back on last friday the day 9 unemployment numbers as the day this race made a huge turn. >>gregg: maybe it is a blip. >> no, this race now is changed dramatically in the last few months as the numbers in the economy have changeed. the movement of undecided is people moving off obama and committee have not yet passed on to romney but they are in motion and they are in motion. >>gregg: you guys hammering romney saying he is way behind, he only -- now, it is different. >> what we have been saying the
5:33 pm
three of us with you is romney, the race is sitting there for him to take if he would come out and show what he will do as president. he hasn't done it yet. the "wall street journal" --. >> the "wall street journal" advantage on criticism. >> it is what we have been saying. campaign insiders here. we know what he is against, obama's policy but we have no vision of what says vision for america is. >>gregg: but the president is criticizing republicans saying you blocked everything i wanted. isn't the opposite true? >> he got everything he wanted the first two years when he had total control of the house, the senate and the presidency but he does not mention that. the other problem he is wanting to blame bush. romney, we keep saying he should position as the outsider but the "wall street journal" article you referenced and, also, the --
5:34 pm
there are several pieces on this. everyone is saying the same thing: he needs to go beyond being cautious, the dare to be cautious campaign, put it out there. greg it is not in his nature. >> this is what challenges the winners. you do not play defense. >>gregg: i want your reaction from david axelrod. the statehouse in massachusetts, here it is, the clip. play this. axelrod trying to make the case for obama against romney right in front of romney's former statehouse and it ended up badly. >> a disaster. the most harebrain scheme giving us an indication of what is going on inside the obama campaign which is mayhem. they don't know what they are up
5:35 pm
to. the whole bain thing --. >>gregg: i thought he had a great campaign four years ago. >> he did, but the problem he faces now he has no theirive for his own campaign. forward is a weak slogan, and sending your chief strategist to boston to attack the opponent is a sign of desperation. >> you do not have surrogates but there was bizarre. axelrod double downed today this morning when he was on "meet the press," he was even more negative on romney and he does this taking place not context of bill clinton putting a torpedo through the obama strategy, a huge blowing it up. >> when he talked how spectacular romney's career.
5:36 pm
>>gregg: i want to play a clip. this is romney himself, the candidate. take a listen. >> i have noticed we have gone to a number of events and you have been with you and most events i go to or many of them, they are large groups of if you will obama supporters heckling me, and at some point you say, sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander d they heckle us we will not it is back and play by very different rules. >> this plays into obama's hand because obama is looking for a vicious negative campaign, no argument on either side, so he can use his turn out machine to get his vote out. so, romney's tit for tat does get the base. >> and he believes like the obama campaign this is about negatives. attack. attack. attack. romney has a chance to step up and say i am a leader because
5:37 pm
what is obama's real problem? a sense he has not had real leadership. that is the issue with swing voters. >>gregg: look at washington post-abc poll. the president has a net positive. flip to governor romney who has a net negative. all thank you is our point. all thank you is why in all the polls of the states we were talking about, nevada, colorado, iowa, as pat and doug said the voters have left obama, he now is around 41 percent, and they have not gone do romney. they are parking themselves in "undecided," sitting there, waiting to be sold by governor romney. if i am governor romney i want to sit down with the american people and tell themmer here is why i want to be a president. >> what obama is doing, a romney negative, by staying negative
5:38 pm
obama can win. that is incorrect, i believe, but that is how they are operating. >> president's job approval is reversed. negative. the presidents are judged on a job. this, romney's numbers are up substantially. but romney has to do what john was saying, and doug, he has to take advantage. there is still type to shape his image and the next 60 days is the critical period for mitt romney to make a case. >>gregg: a lot more to talk about. could be a couple interesting out comes including wisconsin as to who could win the big surprise in november. be right back. bugs. ortho home defense max. with a new continuous spray wand.

5:44 pm
perhaps, but the political contest is taking on maybe a national importance, getting the attention of president obama. governor romney. that is because the outcome could echo deep into the presidential campaign something of a crystal ball for november. right now the polls show governor leading his opposition by eight points. i was stunned today when i heard one of romney surrogates say, wisconsin is wisconsin. he should have been saying, are you kidding, wisconsin is the microcosm of the united states. >> this is the hugest event of 2012 leading up to the presidential election. this has so many ramifications. not just in wisconsin. which we all agree puts this state in play for romney to possibly win in november. if romney wins wisconsin all three of us believe romney will be elected president.

>> but he has not been competitive, obama, the republican national committee chairman has a host of republicans campaigning there. the unions are emfeebled. >> did the president not go to help barrett because he knew he would lose in the way he he did not help in 2010? >> his numbers are still positive. he did not go because he did not want to hurt the campaign. it is about itself. bill clinton went there to campaign different than in california with gray davis but the point is, the president has been absent. the unions are upset. but the real stakes here, a few months ago when they turned in 900,000 signatures everyone said walker was gone or it would be bad but this is a great movement for the unions and a democratic party. but obama campaign put a huge field organization, labor put a huge effort and the numbers are breaking not only because of what the local politics there,
