anything scott walker needs from the rnc, scott walker is going to get from the rnc. >> walker has the full support of the rnc. stop it right there. just remember that. walker has the full support of the rnc. the republican presidential candidates, wait a minute, they're a little bit careful. what's full support. mitt romney and rick santorum have voiced support for walker but they're not showing at any campaign events with him because he could be legally toxic with their campaign. they can't afford to be seen in public which somebody that could be a huge liability after june 5th. this is why i cover wisconsin as much as i do on "the ed show." this is all about citizens united. there is absolutely no way the democrats in this state or as walker loves to say, the union bosses whoever the heck they are, as if there's this money just pouringnto this state from the clouds. it's raining dollars for democrats, that's not the case. what we saw here was 30,000 volunteers in the winter time go across the state and get signatures. the boots on the ground. now, i don't think tt these groups that

voters there are riveted by the scott walker deal because the scott walker deal is a rodeo. it is actually exciting. he would be only the third governor in united states history to make voters so unhappy that they went back to the polls and fired him before his term was up. republicans, over time, had been inching toward possibly winning the state of wisconsin in a presidential election. at this point in the state, though, even if that were true, even if that were happening, i'm not sure wisconsin would even notice, let alone care. joining us now is dan vice, political writer for "the milwaukee journal-sentinel." when last we spoke we were interrupted by mitt romney giving his victory speech. i thank you for sticking around and coming back. >> that's fine, thanks. >> you have been covering the republican primary as well as covering the recall on the ground. you talked earlier about the fact that the walker recall has sort of put the republican primary in the shade. we can see that a little bit in the polling results and in the sort of worried we that some conservative news o

voters there are riveted by the scott walker deal because the scott walker deal is a rodeo. it is actually exciting. he would be only the third governor in united states history to make voters so unhappy that they went back to the polls and fired him before his term was up. republicans, over time, had been inching toward possibly winning the state of wisconsin in a presidential election. at this point in the state, though, even if that were true, even if that were happening, i'm not sure wisconsin would even notice, let alone care. joining us now is dan vice, political writer for "the milwaukee journal-sentinel." when last we spoke we were interrupted by mitt romney giving his victory speech. i thank you for sticking around and coming back. >> that's fine, thanks. >> you have been covering the republican primary as well as covering the recall on the ground. you talked earlier about the fact that the walker recall has sort of put the republican primary in the shade. we can see that a little bit in the polling results and in the sort of worried we that some conservative news o

by extending the election, it gives scott walker the advantage by allowing scott walker to do this.the thing that surprises me today, the poll numbers has scott walker ahead. what explains this? clearly the sentiment seems to have shifted back to him to some degree at least. how do you understand that? >> he has been by himself on the air for three months with $12 million in television. that's a ton of money in wisconsin. he's in little markets buying thousands of points, repeating these lies that he said he fixed the budget. he didn't. he's working on jobs wisconsin and job loss but he hasn't had any opposition on the air. to be unopposed on the airwaves, being at 50% we have yet begun to fight and scat walker is still at this danger number. we're feeling pretty good about this. >> there is this issue sort of festering notion of a grand jury investigation relating to activity during the time that scott walker was the county executive in milwaukee. what is that? is there any real possibility that that will rise to his level or even if it does, do so by the time of the recall vote? >

conservative argument more often what exactly is the conservative argument nowadays in america also scott walker's war on labor was dealt a major blow last week as anti-union law was declared unconstitutional all the fares for the political fight of his life how might this ruling affect his chances of surviving a recall election in the bad state and corporations in america used to care about the best interests of their communities and country their role in society has changed how have corporations become predatory monsters preying on americans and our wallets. you need to know this with mitt romney way ahead in the polls in wisconsin which holds its primary on tuesday it's looking more and more like the republican primaries wrapped up calls for rick santorum to gracefully drop out of the race are growing louder and president obama's reelection team is now focusing solely on wall street's favorite guy mitt romney early polls indicate that romney will need a lot of billionaire money however to defeat the president november among registered voters nationwide president obama leads romney forty nine to

public policy polling has walker at 50%.om barrett, who many people think that he's going to get it, at 45%. and there's also a fight starting to break out in the democratic party. >> they're wrestling for it. >> okay, they're wrestling for it. why is walker ahead, if he's gotten all this negative publicity? >> ed, $12 million worth of spending over the last year. and the democrats have not begun to counter that. governor walker keeps saying that he is the subject of a huge negative ad campaign by the quote/unquote big labor bosses, but that has not been there. that's not reality. >> so he's lying? >> well, let's just say he's not -- well, let me put it this way. john deen, the watergate figure, said the other day that walker is more nixonian than nixon. >> the founder of the united with wisconsin, the group that led the movement for the recall walker, what's that mean? >> he was endorsed by barbara lotten, by congresswoman guinn moore, by lina taylor. so he's getting a lot of useful endorsements. and the united wisconsin mo

the governor office, gor walker is pointing to -- governor walker is pointing to the success they hadly. and something that the unions are staying away from. about how things changed in the state. >> yeah. i think it's a fascinating situation. wisconsin has been interesting for two years now. they have been a complete war internally. it's a highly polarized state. in that sense, it's a microcosm of what is going on in the country. to that extent, this started as a budget fight. crippling budget deficit. walker made choices that many found controversial. as the economy is starting to improve nationally, certain conditions are starting to get better, might see some of the wind shifting back a little bit in walker's favor. so, it's interesting, there have been so few successful recall campaigns. this is the third. if it's successful. the only other one that us remember is gray davis in california. similar situation in some ways. they had a huge horrible budget deficit. he made, he tried to address it through a variety of ways, including the vehicle licensing fee that people really flip o

walker go home! >> they didn't stop walker from finding big money in oklahoma and elsewhere. bob perry the texas financier he cut two, $250,000 checks to walker at the event. two. this is not just about wisconsin, however. what happens there could have major implications for other state races. republican oklahoma state senator david holt when he was at that event summed up the sentiment saying: that we can do this. hum. now we turn to madison wisconsin and kathleen falk. she is the democratic candidate for governor, and hoping to become the state's first female governor. i'm so glad to be able to welcome here inside "the war room." thanks for joining us. >> it's an honor to be with you governor grandholm. >> it's exciting to have you here and have you follow tammy baldwin. and of course as you know this gubernatorial issue has captured everybody's attention. scott walker has been raising hundreds of thousands of dollars from these conservative donors including the koch brothers. doesn't that make you nervous? >> well, it is not wisconsin's values. >> governor walker has been

walker's economic problems don't end there. is at number 42 on the bloomberg economic evaluations which rank states based on tax revenue and income. illinois is at number three. now, in the face of disasterous economic numbers, scott walker ran to the safe haven of the right wing news max with an excuse ready to go. >> i firmly believe that you're going to see a dramatic takeoff after june 5th because businesses feel like we're in the right direction. i think the big thing people are working for is to have the certainty of knowing this sort of positive for job creators is going to continue, and that's why after june 5th, after these primaries are done when lunts governor and these senators prevail, it will be a message that now is the time to add jobs, and they will. >> people in wisconsin are saying, we better not do any business until after we find out if scotty boy will stay on as our governor. he can't deny the job numbers. they are the worst in the country. he is saying small businesses are sitting on their hands waiting t

mitt romney's here row is scot walker. tonight, i'll show you what mitt would do to america with walker's playbook. >>> and sean hannity is all bent out of shape because i proved how out of touch he is. sean, there's more where that came from tonight. this is "the ed show." let's get to work. >>> and of course, your great governor. what a hero he is. scott walker. >> mitt romney's hero has caused a job disaster in wisconsin. now americans have to decide if they want scott walker's train wreck on a national level. tonight, illinois governor pat quinn on the success of his state and america's choice. >>> the presumptive nominee's presumptive pick for vice president can't get it done without a teleprompter. >> free to become prosperous. i left my last page of the speech. >> republicans are playing games with student loans. >> you've got one member of congress who compared these student loans to a stage three cancer of socialism. >> you won't believe what boehner and his gang are trying to pull. >> stage three cancer -- i don'

they documented this to catch the walker and warn other pet walkers. >> so many use this service.y friends are dog walkers. this is not bad. i know it's a hard industry to be a part of. >> reporter: as you can see in the video, after she takes the key back, she walks into the house to find a happy wilson and proof he hadn't been let out of his crate and there is wilson and peed, peed only. tape totally intact. door not open. >> reporter: matt auckland, fox 5 news. >> something to think about. the owner said she didn't want to expose the dog company because it took swift action after seeing the video. >> as a dog owner, you know when they haven't been walked. >> i need to go. >>> big new developments in a decades old murder in our area. did the key witness help send the wrong men to prison? details of what unfolded in court yesterday. >> big help to keep some post offices from being shut down at least for now. we believe keeping kids healthy can start with healthy hands. with the lysol no-touch hand soap system healthy hands can be automatic. for healthy tips and more, visit lysol.

walker can blame protesters all he wants for the job loss. once again, somebody else's fault but he can't hide from the poor policies and opportunities driven people out of the state. responding to what walker said about him last march. >> we're building high speed rail from chicago to st. louis. because scott walker turned that down in wisconsin, his predecessor, jim doyle, was all for it. we would have a route going from chicago to milwaukee on to madison. he turned it down. we got part of their money to put more people to work in illinois on rail. one company left wisconsin and came to our state of illinois to manufacture railway cars. >> there you have it. walker likes to complain about all the outside money being used to defeat him. he has no problem asking new yorkers for outside money, 950 miles away. this is a national election. no question about it. in fact, it does say the most important non-presidential election of the decade. walker didn't say that. the "wall street journal" did, back on january 28th of this year. this flyer has a

scott walker. thank you. >> oh, what a hero he is. mitt romney might want to check out the local papers in wisconsin before praising his hero, scott walker. here's the headline the people of wisconsin woke up to this morning, "state job losses worst in the united states." for 14 months i have been telling you on this program about the dangers of this radical governor in wisconsin and his agenda. all of the warnings are now memorialized in these numbers. and that headline. from march 2011 to march 2012, wisconsin has lost 23,900 jobs. the bureau of labor straatistic says that wisconsin is the only state in the nation with statistically significant job losses over the past year. now, 17,800 of these jobs were from the public sector. 6,100 of these jobs were from the private sector. no other state in the country has lost more private sector jobs over the last 12 months. the numbers don't lie. how would you like this to be your state, your numbers? this is what huge tax breaks for corporations does to your state. this is what happens when

walker is a much more volatile player. romney and santorum are glad to talk about how they agree with walker. they are big for the anti-union stuff. they're big for the cuts. but to actually be photographed with scott walker at this point is a rather dangerous thing. and i think walker and romney both understand that. that picture comes back to haunt both men. if, by chance, walker is defeated in a recall or if he runs into big legal trouble, that's embarrassing for romney. by the same token, walker is going into a recall election where he's going to desperately be trying to present himself as a moderate figure. so he really doesn't want a picture of him next to presidential candidate who's had to run hard, hard to the right. so bottom line is, i think they've sort of decided to keep their distance, but they've talked eacher

my friends are dog walkers. not all are bad. this is a hard industry to be a part of, but people need to be aware of what is going in and out of her house. >> reporter: in the video after yogi takes her key back and walks into the house to find a happy wilson and proof he had not been let out of his crate. >> there is wilson and -- peeed on me. tape totally in tact. door not open. >> reporter: all right, it's important to point out this is just one dog walker and there are many legitimate loving dog walkers out there. yogi carol, the owner this case, didn't want to expose the dog-walking company she used because she said it took swift action after she showed the owner this video. brian, can you imagine, she's upset about this. >> and it was like svu dog walkers. >> nice. >> and what caused her to be suspicious? >> things didn't seem right. she looked and the leash had not been moved, the treats hadn't been moved and did that tape trick the day before and decided, well, the tape was still in tact and that is when she decided to s

my friends are dog walkers. so they're not all bad.now this is a hard industry to be a part of, but people need to be aware of what's going in and out of their house. >> reporter: after yogi takes her key back she walks into the house to find a happy wilson and proof he hadn't been let out of his crate. >> there's wilson. he peed, peed only. safe intact. door not opened. >> matt ackland reporting. the owner told us she didn't want to expose the dog walking company because it took swift action after seeing the video. >>> imagine going decades without changing a light bulb. laura evans with your fox 5 top five. >> philips has introduced an head light bulb that uses 10 watts of electricity and -- an electrolyte bulb that uses 10 watts of electricity and lasts 20 years. the government hopes it will eventually replace the old incandescent bulbs in most homes. it does come at a price, 60 bucks, but many utility companies are offering rebates bringing the price down to under 30. no. 4, burger king is pledging to get all of its eggs and pork f

i was with scott walker. toe to toe with him time and time again, and i heard him talk about how he was going to create jobs, but in 2011, under the leadership of scott walker, the state of wisconsin lost more jobs than any other state in this country. >> john, as we look down the line at the general election fight, has the walker recall controversy taken the state off the electoral map for republican at this point? >> i think it has. the polling suggests that wisconsin is leaning very strongly toward barack obama, and there's also something else. what has happened as regards governor walker, this fight over labor rights has moved a substantial portion of union members who tended to vote against their union endorsement and back republicans more deeply do the democratic camp. i think that's helped president obama a good deal. >> john, great to see you this morning. thank you, sir. >> pleasure. >>> at least one government agency is likely wishing what happened in vegas had actually stayed in vegas. the general

everywhere. >> i think scott walker will end up being a hero.e took the $2.7 billion deficit and turned it into a surplus and all he does was have the public employees pay a small fraction toward their pensions and a small fraction toward health insurance. things most people don't have. he stood up for the working families in his state, and if he gets replaced, the contrast will be sharp and it will be negative toward his replacement. >> john, i want to know the effect on taxpayers everywhere outside wisconsin, all across the united states, if governor walker is recalled. >> well, it can potentially be broad if this vote predicts something else, something bigger across the country. public employee unions work for the taxpayers. the idea that they can vote themselves higher benefits turns democracy i think into tyranny. if the wisconsin voters vote the wrong way and this goes national, it will be a scenario americans work for the government rather than the government working for the people. it's a very dangerous signal. >> do you reject that comp

. >>> scott walker is running scared. he's mailing lies across america.now he's calling in the heavy artillery. >> you know, something may go down tonight, but it ain't going to be jobs sweetheart. >>> tomorrow is the white house correspondence dinner. tonight, we're looking back at some of its greatest hits. >> paul ryan couldn't be here tonight. his budget has no room for laughter. >>> good to have you with us tonight. thanks for watching. republicans are stuck between a rock and a hard place in the fight over student loans. the gop wanted interest rates on some student loans no double in june. well, today, they voted oen a bill in the house to keep the rates where they are. house democratic leader nancy pelosi pointed out the president forced the republicans to act. >> the point is that on the floor of this house at this time on this day, the republicans have folded because the president made the issue too hot to handle. that's why the bill is coming to the floor today. >> there's only one problem. the bill in the house is a complete sham and republica
