empted by federal law and president obama who fought the arizona law claimed his own victory. a patch work of state laws is not a solution to our broken immigration system. the white house decided to the end the federal partnership with arizona to crackdown on illegal immigration leaving the state with few options. >> what they said to arizona is drop dead arizona, drop dead go away we are going to ignore you. >> reporter: and the impact really goes well beyond just arizona five other states passed similar laws the court was sympathetic to a degree saying the state's frustrations about illegal immigration are not a andable but this is state issue. tony and allison. on the campaign trail today president barack obama heads south, he will speak at fundraisers in atlanta and

>> i think it is philosophical the people, the board members, the rector and other board members who want president sullivan to go, say she is too slow in making changes, that she didn't have a long term vision, that they liked her personally, it is just that the higher ed is in such a state of flux in the nation with less money to spend on schools she needed to have some dramatic changes and cuts and she wasn't working fast enough to do that. now president sullivan would argue she did have a long term vision and was working fast enough and that you can't make these changes too quickly that they do have to be gradual. >> right university meets today we have heard strong words or directive from the governor he will ask for their resignation if the decision is not made but my question when reading that story is a decision -- hasn't a decision been made is he asking just to revisit? what does the governor want to see. >> the governor see it is board is split and as of yesterday

when i was doing reporting the board really was split. there is you know, 15 members now, because someone resigned so it is looking like 8 to 7, 7 to 8 depending which way the vote will be close, today they are going to decide basically whether to reinstate president sullivan what governor mcdonald is saying, whatever happens something needs to be done, to go forward, they need to have a president and they need to be unified tomorrow if not, that is when he is going to step in. >> any indication what might come out of this meeting and how many hours have you blocked off, where you go in there and cover what is going on today. >> well, their last meeting was almost 12 hours i didn't anticipate that i have locked off the rest of the day it -- blocked off the rest of the day it starts at 3:00 p.m., will start as open meeting but they can close it at any time. we had reported in this mornings paper the people that are for president sullivan staying, feel optimistic or i

should say cautiously optimistic they have the vote. there were any number of numbers yesterday, 8, 9 votes for her and of course it is a 15 member board they need 8 people and they were feeling pretty good but it is so close it could go either way. >> it has been suggested anita. politics might be rearing its ugly head. half the board was appointed by former governor cain, half by current governor mcdonald, how much of a role does that play and with that one resignation does it matter>> there are politics in everything but the board, switched along who is not for president sullivan there were two people involved the director and vice director who have since resigned one was appointed by republican bob mcdonald the other by democrat tim cain not sure if it is that i think it is more of a business model the board of

visitors is made up of business people and they prefer a business model compared to what traditionally happened on campus, academia and how that is done. i think it is more philosophical than political. >> bottom line which also rears its ugly head thank you for joining us anita is virginia political reporter for the washington post. >> thank you. >> she really has a good handle on it. >> yes, she does. we will follow her reports. >> time 7:38 a.m., tuesday morning, still ahead facebook under fire for changes to your account. this time involling your e-mail address. kate middleton is further down the food chain -- not thed to chain but the royal chain -- not the food chain but the royal chain wait until you hear what she has to do when her prince isn't around ♪

[ male announcer ] it started like this... i speak the language of business.

i know how jobs are created. [ male announcer ] but it ended like this. one of the worst economic records in the country. when mitt romney was governor, massachusetts lost 40,000 manufacturing jobs. a rate twice the national average. and fell to forty-seventh in job creation. fourth from the bottom. instead of hiring workers from his own state, romney outsourced call center jobs to india. he cut taxes for millionaires like himself... while raising them on the middle class... and left the state two point six billion deeper in debt. so now, when mitt romney talks about what he'd do as president... i know what it takes to create jobs. [ male announcer ] remember, we've heard it all before. i know how jobs are created. [ male announcer ] romney economics. it didn't work then, and it won't work now.

stand a provision that allows police to check the immigration status of detainees if they have reason to believe the person may be illegal. more on this, senior editor at human events conservative newspaper david has been covering the court. thank you very much for coming in. >> my pleasure. >> you can call this a split decision overall impressions any surprises. >> it was surprising the way they split the decision it is hard to tell from arguments you never know where the supreme court justices will go. somewhat surprising. >> the tact they let the most con tree -- the fact they let the most controversial provision stay what does that mean for the state? >> they left open -- arizona -- someone can sue or bring it back to the supreme court once it is enacted as law. it is not exactly over i think we will probably see something

like this again in the supreme court soon enough. >> that is interesting because a lot of times we look to the supreme court here is the final word on this, this decision, i am not faulting them it is a complicated issue but really seems to leave the door open still for more interpretation and challenges. >> it does. it was rather animated i guess and he spoke about how states have to do the job the federal government won't do but it is complicated,. >> with his decenting opinion, fairly animated and harsh words seemed to be directed toward the obama administration and some of the other justices was that a surprise. >> i was there when he reads it, he is animated it is surprising to hear him go after some of the other justices that

hard. frankly i think that happens with him frequently. other justices have complained he is animated and emotional and did bring politics into it. very recent about obama's decision to allow younger immigrants to not be deported. that was rather surprising because you hope they rise above politics but didn't in that case. >> a broader question, is this version of the supreme court a fairly political supreme court? >> i am not an expert but i don't think so. perhaps when he was reading his dissent he mentioned politics i don't know if their decisions are driven by politics or not i doubt it is any more political than we like to think than in the past we romanticize the past i doubt things have changed much in that sense. >> let's talk about potential implications this was a big

issue, immigration, there is a lot of talk about the latino vote and where that might go and how the candidates appeal to it. what might each of the campaigns take from this decision. >> it was split so i am not sure too much. i have to say mitt romney seemed timid he didn't come out and say i agree or disagree with the decision even though on the question we spoke about, on asking for immigration papers it was clear the court agreed, even mitt romney couldn't get onboard for that. that is troubling for republicans other than that i don't see much change if this is an issue that moves you ed in y you are already your partisan beliefs so i don't think it will change your mind much. latino vote is a broader larger problem for republicans long term. >> is that maybe why romney is being a little cagey with how he talks about some of these issues? >> perhaps but doesn't come off well i think you want at that position, president, you want leadership and want to know

where your candidates stand, broadly, and you know, he is so timid on it it is surprising. >> very interesting, you were in the court thanks for coming in to talk to us appreciate it senior editor with human events. allison. it is now 8:21 a.m., tuesday morning, coming up next we will go live to panama city florida for an update on tropical storm debbie. >> later pushing new parents to their fitness limits, holly morris, at an all new mommy boot camp we will be right back our cloud is not soft and fluffy.

blowing people are getting out of hotel rooms they have been trapped in those rooms for 2 to 3 days with lots of ugly wind and rain but it blew out of here last night as the track of the storm changed we thought this was going on the where all the worst of the weather hit but that storm 70 miles away from here, it is just dumping that wind that rain, on there. also inland, tallahassee they are getting hammered with street flooding a lot of the most popular beaches here on the gulf are getting spared now. it is a gorgeous day in panama city beach these vacationers thought they would have to cancel their plans, 40 rooms were cancelled for the night because of this weather but right now it is shaped up well in panama city the problem to the east of us where it is just sort of stuck and dumping weather and causing some flooding, particularly street flooding in some areas, we are live on panama city beach, justin grey, fox news.

>> doing well i am excited to know how to eat my salad because i could eat salad every day. >> salads are wonderful and you talked about the supreme court and health care reform and obama care no one is talking how to deal with the obesity epidemic that is what we have to deal with. one of the great things to do is eat fruits and vegetables. none better than having a salad and salad is chock full of entities that are great for your body. now i am going to ask you a question allison. >> okay. >> when you have that beautiful salad you go to the super market you heard dr. mike or dr. oz or some body they said really cut back on your fat what dressing do you pick? >> honest? i love cesar dressing. >> cesar dressing. okay well, a lot of people will

eat something like a fat free cesar dressing, that is a mistake and the reason is, you need a little bit of fat, to absorb those unbelievable newtry cents in the salad. so they did -- newtry cents in the salad so they did a study a couple weeks ago and found the mono unsaturated fats like olive oil and canola oil were the best the reason for that is that itallowed absorption of the nutrients, you didn't have the load it up even olive oil orca know la oil has -- or, canola oil has calories. you want to use some dressing with either olive oil or,

canola oil as opposed to corn oil because that you tend to have to use a lot more to get those nutrients absorbed. >> i am good with a little bit of olive oil and vinegar can i just do this? >> perfect. that is like an italian thing. >> okay that is what i will do. still eat that good salad. let's talk about high blood pressure in our children. my sense it will be linked to that problem we are just too over weight as a society even our kids. >> this may be the first generation that doesn't live as long as their parents. there is an epidemic of childhood obesity and one of the things we are seeing is a dramatic increase in the numbers of kids these are kids under the age of 18, with high blood pressure, 3% of kids under the age of 18 now, have high blood pressure and you want to talk about a perfect storm coming, you are going to have all these kids that are obese, with high blood pressure

developing strokes and heart attacks later on in life and all of under the circumstances old people, are going to be old and in need of health care and this is going to be a perfect storm, older americans needing health care and young people being unhealthy so we have to deal with this and deal with it right now. >> so how can families how can our doctors, pediatricians how do we start to tackle this? i know it is a big question what is the short answer. >> the short answer is, make sure your kids get checked by their pediatricians if they are above the scale, off the chart you need to start working with them on how to eat less, eat salads, do the right thing and exercise if you do those things early on in life they won't have a problem. there was a study not long ago that showed moms had little in the way of a concept of whether little johnny was over weight or not they got it wrong most of the time they thought he was

fine. we need to nip it in the bud now. >> dr. mike always a pleasure talking to you you are wonderful see you next time from philadelphia. >> love you allison. >> all right. tony over the you. tony we were showing pregnant women, that was clearly not the right topic for the kids with high blood pressure we apologize. >> thank you. coming up olympic hopeful, michael phelps falls short in his first big race but a rematch is not far away. later the hit musical memphis takes the stage in dc. this morning we are talking to one of the stars she has local roots. we will be right back.

training all filled with dance. >> you have done film work too small roles in hair spray, big mama's house movies like that, do you hope to do more in the world of film? >> yes, film is amazing long hours, but it is such a great pay off you know, just being able to see yourself in something that seems so far from you watching it on tv and realizing that if you just go audition and do your best you know, very easy attainable actually. >> well, we -- i know it is a lot of hard work we are glad things are going well for you we hope they continue to go well for you whitney is in memphis at the kennedy center through june 30th, shows 7:30 plus matinee on wednesday june 27th and saturday, june 30th and 1:30 p.m. performance sunday. when you are on the stage you work. >> mm-hmm.
