patti ann: and i'm patti ann brown. well, in this tragic story, the driver of that bus is dead, and 20 people have been sent to the hospital, some of them air lifted from the scene. bill: there is videotape of this incident from a cell phone. look at that fireball on the highway near waterloo, new york. this from a person driving by in a car. write to jamie colby in our newsroom now, what caused this one? >> reporter: showing that video is really amazing because it's incredible there were any survivors. a tractor-trailer rear ended a tour bus, and both became engulfed in flames on a highway in new york. it actually took firefighters, bill, 45 minutes to just get this massive blaze under control. the driver of the tractor-trailer's now identified as a 59-year-old man from michigan. he was killed. and of the 52 people on that bus, at least 30 had injuries ranging, we're told, from minor to serious. two were confirmed as critical. it is miraculous that 22 people walked away from that bus without any injuries, but the death

patti ann. patti ann: rich edson, thank you. jon: for more on the raging battle over the debt and decifit, let's talk to senator jim demint, the influential republican for south carolina has been dubbed the king maker when it comes to electoral politics. he's also the author of a new book tiedel \dollars/{^ed} "the great american awakening". you've heard the president in his news conference and in his statement say hey, i'm here, i'm ready to go to work, congress needs to come to work to get this debt deal done. what's your take on that? >> john, it's hard to swallow. we've known this for six months, the president has yet to send a proposal to congress suggesting any type of spending cuts, in fact, he sent a budget over that increased our debt $10 trillion. so it's hard to take him seriously on this, and the whole debt commission that he started, he ignored, this biden task force that he started was designed to kill time, because even the president last december said we can't raise taxes in a down economy. now they put him back

patti ann: and i'm patti ann brown in for jenna lee. we are on verdict watch in the casey anthony murder trial. the jury deliberating for its first full day. the seven women and five men spent six hours discussing the case yesterday. jon: of course they are charged with deciding whether casey anthony, the woman you see there, killed her 2-year-old daughter, or if, as the defense claims, little caylee drowned in the family pool, an accident that snowballed out of control. phil keith live in orlando for us. casey anthony's attorney was not in court this morning. why, phil? >> we don't know. apparently jose baez was running a bit late, as all of the spectators were exiting the courtroom after the judge asked the jurors whether they had headed hiheeded his admonitionst discussed anything about this case after they were released from court last night at 6:00pm. everybody left, the jurors went back into the delib kraeugs room. then jose baez walked by, maybe they got caught in traffic or were taking care of something unrelated here. casey ant

>> thanks, patti ann. let's welcome our guests. i am here with dye anne ma -- macedo. -- her name is portuguese for she is is on business news. ann coulter, columnist and author. her latest book is called "demonic" and a book of exer civil frtz demon's point of view. and he is on late knitel vision, and so andy richter couldn't be here, and so we have bill shultz. it is word play, people, you can't beat it. >> hi, pinch. > you are not that fake ombudsman, are you? they may help with your endeavor. they say to works on yorks o face, oh for outraged. >> are you not welcome. >> are you not welcome. >> too short. >> get him off my screen. >> they reaped financial gain while arousing disdain. i speak for congress. >> yeah, working for the people ain't cheaple. they earned 3.4 times more than the average full time worker and are among the highest paid lawmakers in the industrialized world. their annual salary, $17 4,000 and they make about 285,000. meanwhile the average worker earns about 50k. i believe that is half. their lofty salaries

patti ann: right.l, because they say it would just stifle the economic growth. what's your response to that argument? >> well, i don't think there's any evidence to that. right now, you know, our corporations are sitting on about $2 trillion in cash reserves. their profits are up. why are they not investing? it's not because they're not getting a tax cut that would provide additional money on top of that two trillion, it's really because we have high unemployment and because there's an apprehension that if they make more goods, we won't have consumers to buy them. so there needs to be some aggregate consumer demand here, and obviously, we've got to try to get people back to work. but if we want to have long-term fiscal stability when we have a gap between how much we're collecting in revenues, about 16% of the gross domestic product, and we're spending about 24%, then, obviously, you've got to bring that spending down and bring those revenues up. patti ann: what is your stand at this point on entitleme

patti ann: judge alex and ann marie and joey, we're going back to the courtroom where the prosecutor is speaking again, let's listen in. >>... and the 31 days preceding it and that is tony. that is all she wanted to do when she called her parents, aside from cut them out. i want tony's number. you have learned during the course of this trial that casey anthony is the only person who had access to every, single piece of evidence discussed by mr. ashton today. and yesterday. the duct tape. the laundry bag. the blanket. the shorts. the car. there is no evidence that anyone other than casey anthony was driving around in that car that began to smell, to the point, where she is texting her friend, amy, i think my dad has run over a dead animal. she texted that to amy 15 minutes before her boyfriend, tony, picked her up. so you would think if your car smells like there is a dead animal plastered to the front of it, maybe you check the trunk. maybe you see if there is a garbage bag or a trash bag in the trunk. that trash bag was placed there as a decoy. you heard testimony from catherine san
