>> with us now fox news anchor martha maccallum. there is a poll on spanking children, correct?e from? >> well, it's been done by pediatrics and a number of different polls and studies that she talked about have been done over the years. basically it shows that most people agree that spanking is okay. that some form of corporal punishment used for discipline is okay. 71% of whites in this country believe that it's okay. only 27% believe it's not. 82%, the number is a little bit higher among blacks and 15% believe that it is not good. but i don't believe we are talking about the adrian peterson case when we are asking this question of american citizens. we're not talking about someone who has been indicted on child abuse charges and whose child was identified by a doctor as having lacerations on his hands, his begs and his back. so that's the difference. >> you go. you can't beat a child in this country or you will be charged in this country or you'll be charged with a crime. taken a stick, which is akin to a whip off a tree and whipping it like this. >> that's abuse. >> all righ
