senator bill payne and i had the opportunity to meet with a family of michael snyder, an albuquerque man who was murdered by his wife, and then secretly buried him at his home for eight years. michael's sisters terri and laura, as well as michael's mother alleen, are here today. please stand. [ applause ] michael's wife said, he had simply gone missing. simply had left, and sadly, her secret was kept long enough that the statute of limitations had run out. so this killer will serve only a few years for a murder that should have kept her behind bars the rest of her life. that is not right, and we are going to change the law and fight to ensure that no one is able to murder someone in our state and get off easy or get away with it completely by simply letting out the -- the clock run out. that is wrong. i am confident that we can work together to solve our pressing public safety needs. the democrats, republicans, and andy. we can do it. strengthening megan's law to ensure sex offenders can not live in secret in our neighborhoods, allowing amber alerts to be issued when them in harm's w

henry payne editor of the michigan view.com and bill ballenger, inside michigan politics.r being here. jack, let's put the groundwork out there. how is this shaping up ahead of tuesday? >> well, it's shaping up as a race between mitt romney and rick santorum. it appears that romney may have pulled a little ahead and maybe the governor formed some the establishment, but you never know who is going to vote in the primary. >> henry, there seems to be a battle between the conservatives who may have a problem with mitt romney and have shifted to santorum and it seemed in recent days that perhaps romney made some headway getting people to come his way. >> i think it's smart on santorum's behalf. romney is a local boy, well-known here, entrepreneur, fits michigan's business culture and santorum, i think has done effectively, he's come into the tea party base and the tea party here is very strong and he's talked relentlessly about romney care and that's where the tea party base mistrusts romney. >> bill, your thoughts? >> well, i think everything has been said so far is absolutely

bill: president obama says there is no silver bullet. is there or is there a chance of relief. charles payne. fox business. first the news, it has gone up yet again. >> it has gone up yet again. bill, according to aaa $4.25 by may. that is the summer driving season. demand will go up even more. we don't know what will happen with some of these outside forces. geopolitical tensions coming out of iran. certainly something big is brewing there. also policies, bill. they play a huge role in all of this as well. bill: they certainly do. you're saying 4.25 by may on average? >> on average, 4.25 by may. a lot of people now, i talk to experts every single day, almost sever single one says 5 bucks is not out of the realm of possibility. bill: president said yesterday outside forces is at work here. is he right or not? >> he is right. sometimes the president and frame things in nefarious way. outside forces are at work here demand, global demand is higher. one of the strange ironies because of our weak economy we're driving less than we have before. also, urbanization, social networking we can get int

charles payne has the pain null truth on the fox business network. how are you doing my friend? >> reporter: i'm okay. bill>> reporter: a lot of it is going to entitlements, social security benefits, medicaid, medicare. defense spending a lot of it is unaccountable. some of it goes into pet projects, what you might call pork, alternative energy. our government spends, spends, spends. bill: and keeps on going. let me give our viewers a sense, put this on the screen. this is some of the annual spending you'll get every year. this is 770 billion on social security. medicare is 560 billion. medicaid $262 billion, and then you've got other manned stor manned story spendinmandatory spending. defense spending $680 billion. that cannot be sustained. >> reporter: we are spending a trillion dollars a year to service what we owe, not to bring it down. bill: absolutely. that last figure could go to a trillion. >> reporter: it absolutely could. listen, our economy is slow, cbo comes out today and says it's probably going to get slower next year. that's less revenue for the government. the real key, the real pivotal key

charles payne a fox news business anchor and a regular on varney & company. how are you doing. >> i'm doing great. billant to do. >> even 10% we talk about everything being quote unquote fair and even. an even 10% cut across the board on income. which is a little different than his payroll we got from the federal government. i think it is a brilliant idea. the notion that we can keep more of the money we earn and put it back into the economy the way we want to put it back into the economy to me that is the kind of stimulus we need. bill: you think that is a big stimulus for the economy, whoever you are. >> absolutely. if you listen to the narrative, particularly out of washington, it's been that somehow food stamps and welfare have a positive multiplier, that somehow an extra 20 bucks a week into a household via the payroll tax cuts ace good thin. but what about thousands of dollars coming back into people's pockets? by the way this is money they've earned. this is the operative word here, this is money that you have gone out for and worked hard for and sweated for and you get to keep more of it. bill:

bill: mitt romney wasting the no time putting focus on president obama after his victory in florida last night so where do we go next? >> another era of america crisis thomas payne is reported to have said, lead, follow, or get out of the way. well, mr. president, you were elected to lead. you chose to follow and now for you time for you to get out of the way.
