child tax credit and the mortgage interest decks. >> reporter: the plan cut receive sits -- deficits >> reporter: eliminating all tax deductions as a starting place for instance, then people can add them back in as long as they can show how they'd be paid for. analysts praise the efforts for dealing with painful realities. >> time to get specific and real. that's exactly what the cochairs of this commission did by putting out a comprehensive, detailed plan. i think it is a wake up call. >> reporter: interest groups especially those on the left, megyn immediately blasted the entire plan especially raising the retirement age to 69 by 2075 and other changes in social security. a liberal group called democracy for america sent emails to members saying the cochairs of the commission declared war on social security. a group called usa action called the plan a reprehensible travesty and railed against the slashing of our safety net. analysts note the changes fall hardest on wealth year taxpayers who will have to pay more into the system and get less when they retire. these actions are aimed at preventing that. the co-chair said yesterday the solutions are 0 are on the table and let americans start to chew on them. many didn't take a nibble before attacking the plan and say they can't swallow it no matter what. megyn: thank you. there's been a lot of reaction to this proposal in particular to the idea of eliminating the popular child tax credit and the mortgage interest deduction that you can take on your tax returns. cogging -- coming up we'll take a closure look at how this may affect millions of americans and whether or not this will ultimately help or hurt the country. also developing in washington today we are getting word that minnesota congresswoman michelle bachman is heading her bid to become the fourth most powerful person in the republican house leadership. she was facing a tough fight to become the gop conference chair. she plans to advance tea party ideals through the tea party caucus. we are on verdict watch right now in a landmark terrorism trial. we are awaiting word from the jury on the fate of this man, akmed ghalani. he is accused of a bombing that left 224 people dead. david lee is outside the courthouse. >> reporter: it's worth noting, this is veteran's day, a federal holiday, nevertheless the judge who is presiding over this case is requiring the jury to deliberate today. yesterday the jury got the case, they deliberated for about 2 1/2 hours, this morning they deliberated for another 3 hours. they are enjoying lunch, deliberations willee zoom in just about one hour's time. the jury has a large task at hand. there are 285 different counts to consider, among them multiple counts of conspiracy, a count of attempted use and use of a weapon of mass destruction as well as 224 counts of murder. one count for every pers who died in those twin blasts. the jury sent a note to the ju judge today to ask the judge to provide testimony that pertains to the search of the suspect's home. it's in his home that the detonator like the one used in a blast in tanzania was located. they say proper search procedures were not followed and that the detonator in question was only found during a second search, the suggestion being that someone had planted it at the defendant's home. if the suspect is convicted here of the most serious charges, megyn he faces the possibility of life in prison without parole. the justice department has not sought the death penalty in this case. and lastly, megyn, as just about everyone knows by now there is a great deal more at stake here than just the fate of one man. it is expected that if this is a successful prosecution it could pave the way for other former guantanamo bay detainees to be tried in a civilian court. megyn. megyn: david lee miller, thank you. this is fox news alert, a three-day drama on the high cease has -- seas has and ended. thousands of cruise ship passengers are setting foot on dry land. they are just now disembarking in san diego. you can see these are the folks we've been reporting on for the past couple of days. 4500 people spent their luxury vacation drinking cold water, the horror and dining on spam and pop tarts and sandwiches. but did they have alcohol, claudia. >> reporter: yes, they did. this is southern california's version of the chilean minor rescue. we had a huge crowd out here this morning to see how the high sea drama would end. we have dozens of people looking happy, tired, disembarking from the ship. we also saw one person being loaded onto an ambulance and taken to a nearby hospital. no word if the person was a crew member or passenger. the people are getting off the ship in groups. among those waiting for a certain passenger in group number three is jerry vanlewan from riverside. your son, brian, was on his honeymoon, you spoke to him very briefly a few minutes ago, what did he have to say? >> he said are you here yet? i'm getting off the group in group 3. he said okay got to hang up now. >> reporter: people have a choice, they can either take a bus to where they parked their car, most of them parked in long beach where the cruise left on sunday, but your son said come on down, dad and pick us up. >> yes, he did. >> reporter: what is the first thing that you all are going to do when you reconnect. >> probably go get him some food. >> reporter: did he sound hungry when you spoke to him them. >> i imagine he is hungry. >> reporter: usually on cruises people worry about gaining weight. not this time, huh. >> not this time. you served. >> reporter: you served as a member of the air national guard for many, many years. you know these kind of mishaps can happen at se ash. what did you make of this disaster and how were your dealings with carnival with this. >> i wanted to find out their itinerary. they couldn't answer that if i had the option to pick him up. we waited for their call, the kids to find out what they wanted to do. when our son called this morning and said pick us up, i guess he had the option, away we went. >> reporter: thank you very much for talking with us. i hope you can reconnect with brian and his bride very soon and happy veteran's day to you. >> thank you. >> reporter: and if he can speak to us when he gets off the ship we'd love it if you could bring him over. megyn in the last hour we spoke to paul patrick whose sister sabrina was on the ship. we saw her walk by. she was clearly tired and a little bit upset. a lot of people wanting to go home, take a hot shower, get a hot meal and put this vacation behind them. back to you. megyn: at the end of the day i guess somebody was taken away in an ambulance. by and large these folks were fine. they had to eat a little spam and have a few pop tarts, and their vacation was ruined. it's not like we're talking about the titanic. they are safe, their vacation ruined. >> reporter: you're absolutely right. one person loaded onto an ambulance, we don't know the details about that. everyone else appears to be okay, no one was hurt in the fire, that is good news. by the way the ship will stay here in san diego for repairs, and we are just waiting for people to come off so we can get a bit more information about what this ordeal was like. megyn: they have a great deal to tell about their honeymoon. claudia could you and, thank you. is barack obama a one-term president? just ahead the top two signs that that could be the case. he be a one termer. new reaction for two top republican women on their political futures, could you say 2012. former howard dean manager joe trippi is here. you'll hear the folks behind selling the pedophile's guide. >> it's a guide to love and pless ir, it's not a guide to abusing children. to try lifting one of these. a unique sea salt added to over 40 campbell's condensed soups. helps us reduce sodium, but not flavor. so do a few lifts. campbell's.® it's amazing what soup can do.™ megyn: the website amazon.com igniting a furious debate over where decent society draws the line. critics are calling for a boycott after the retailer briefly stood behind a decision to sell a guide book for pedophiles. >> reporter: the title of the book is still up there, the "the pedophile's guide to love and pleasure." when you click on it it says it the book is no longer available. it looks like amazon first defended the book and now row moved the back. the author of the book phillip greaves says amazon is reviewing the book and he is confident they will put it back up. when amazon was bombarded with criticism they said amazon believes it is censure ship not to sell certain books simply because we or others believe their message is objectionable. this book was selfhaoeufp published through the kendelle-book system. there are a number of misspellings in it. the author says, i'm quoting, this is my attempt to make pedophile situations safer for those juveniles who find themselves involved in them by establishing certain rules for these adults to follow. the book, by the way, details how to practice safe sex with children, how to avoid prosecution. in fact here is phillip greaves on penalties for pedophiles. listen. >> if it was just something that the child didn't have any problems with, maybe a fine of some kind. but if it was actual, physical harm or mental trauma, oh, a few years in jail perhaps, prison. >> reporter: we should note we went back and checked his background, megyn, phillip greaves has not been prosecuted for any sexual offenses or criminal offenses. before the whole controversy started that e-book was about 158,000 in the top seller list, now it's in the top one hundred. megyn: oh, my god. what is amazon saying now, nothing other than the page is done. >> reporter: the page is done, but the title is still up there. megyn: and the last on the record statement from amazon.com said we are not taking it down because we believe it would be censure ship. we don't want to censure the man who is showing how to abuse "little children." >> reporter: you can't have books on you that promise you to -- prompt you to violate the law. they've taken a number of books and videos down because of that. they've defended this book. they've taken it down temporarily. the author thinks they will put it back up. if they do we will get back to you. megyn: we are waiting to hear from you just in time for the holiday season to find out if you think it's appropriate to be promoting a book that is an instruction manual for pedophile. we look forward to hearing from you. you have until 3:00 p.m. we'll happily update the story, trace won't we if they get back to us. >> reporter: okay. megyn: megyn kelly at foxnews.com, if you have thoughts on that one. in three minutes we will share two growing signs that president obama may have an uphill crime. joe trippi weighs in on the forecast right after this break. you are looking at history in the making, look at this picture, six of the top talk show hosts of all time, all on the same stage, including our own geraldo rivera. later this show you will hear what he told oprah winfrey about one of his most infamous tv moments. >> directly beneath me a massive concrete chamber has been discovered. >> three, 2002, one [explosion] >> we've blown down one wall. we've pulled down another. we are digging in, we are getting there. we're finding out what is happening. the mystery of al capone's vault. megyn: a florida family getting a bit of a shock this week at finding that mom has been living a double life. the woman on the left is paula carol, the fugitive who escaped prison while serving a five-year sentence back in 1975. on the right sharon brown, the identity she's been living as for nearly 35 years. outside court her son and her husband are standing behind the woman they say they know now. >> my dad called me the day i got arrested, and it was her birthday. when he called i thought it was a joke. as it came out i couldn't believe it. i mean when you hear the story this is not the woman that raised me, it's not the woman i know as my mom. >> she'll make it. it won't be for christmas but she will here be home. megyn: this week a court sentenced paula carol for one year and one day in jail for her decades old prison break. how about that? done with the 2010 midterms and off to the 2012 campaign trail we go. new reporting now on the road to re-election for president obama. while recent presidents have had a good track record of winning second terms few others have faced the challenges this president does, like a huge unemployment rate that may not go down any time soon. joe trippi is a former howard dean campaign manager. there is an interesting article that says there are two main problems for president obama that most of these p-ps presidents that have one re-election have not faced. no president since fdr has run for re-election with the unemployment rate above 8%. how big a problem is that? >> it's a big problem. megyn: politically for him. >> it's a huge problem, it's one of the reasons democrats lost the house so badly in the last election last tuesday. what we don't know is where is the economy going to be two years from now? the one thing it has to turn significantly within the next year to 18 months. people just don't feel it six months before the rehrebgs. megyn: in terms of numbers, what do you start to feel it we are at 9.6 now. when barack obama what's elected that day unemployment was at 6.5%. 6.5, now it's at 9.6. it would have to get back at 6.5 for people to feel it? >> it would have to get to 7, 7 1/2 and it would have to do so at least six months before the election. people don't feel in their own lives -- in other words if it turned today, they won't feel it in their own lives for like six months. there is a tkrog there. megyn: how is he going to do that? i know the republicans say he hasn't been focused on jobs he's doing healthcare. president obama would say, yes i have been we're starting to make a recovery. how does he make a recovery and fast. >> he has to keep the case and make the recovery happen as quick as possible. any president really would try to do that, i'm sure he's trying to do. the other factors is who are the republicans going to nominate. harry reid was supposed to be unelectable, he was not supposed to win a re-election. the republicans i think nominated a very flawed candidate sharron angle as christine o'donnell in delaware another senate seat that was supposed to clearly -- megyn: as a democrat who are you most afraid of on the gop side. >> i don't know. sarah palin may end up being the sharron angle -- not christine o'donnell. i'm saying there could be a flawed candidate. she may be unstoppable if she goes for it. megyn: jed bush, huckabee, romney. >> i think romney would be a strong candidate. huckabee would be strong. can any of those people get the nomination, can they beat sarah palin? there are a lot of factors, clearly the economy is one of them. as we saw in this last election you tphopl in it a flawed candidate it can be of big benefit to a democrat, such as in harry reid's case. >> the. megyn: the second thing that he points out as a problem for president obama is an essential feature of successful presidents in the past is they find ways to broaden their coalitions. he points out that president obama has lost support in every conceivable subgroup basically, young voters, liberals, conservatives, college grads, post grad professionals, on it goes. he's going in the wrong direction. >> the first thing i'd say about that is i don't think any path start -- president started with this broad support base. he had -- he had amazing numbers. i think they were all going to shrink. i think the question is, what does he do now? does he pivot, does he work with republicans? is there, you know, combined sharing of the problems as we move forward and working together on solutions in a way that bill clinton did a lot of right after his -- the defeat democrats suffered in 1994. megyn: how big of a problem is this for him. they didn't know him very well, they knew him as the candidate. they know him late bit better now. they say one of his main problems is he doesn't connect with people. they like him, they think he's a good guy but they don't feel a connection with him. >> i think the one thing he has going for him is personal tpaeufrb built -- favor built. they don't approve of the job he is doing. progressives think he wasn't progressive enough and conservatives think he was far to the left. how he maneuvers, particularly on things like the deficit and the spending is going to be very important to his re-election. again i think it may come down to who do the republicans nominate. are they going to be pragmatic. it's really interesting when parties are really powerful they tend not to be very pragmatic. they were pragmatic when they are out in the wilderness for a bunch of years. they want to step back and say, no we'll compromise, take a candidate that is not perfect. megyn: right but they are not going to go for somebody like john mccain this time around, they think he was too moderate for them. >> that's what i'm say. they feel strong, they may actually pick a sarah palin. megyn: which you'd be happy about that would be awkward if you sit next to her on a panel. i'm going to play this tape, show. a tough new proposal to tackle our nation's debt raising concerns for millions of americansment this plan is getting bashed by the left and right. one part of it calls for raising the tax bills on middle class families by thousands of dollars a year. in three minutes we'll see if there is any way out. plus a special honor this veteran's day for corporal jason dunham. he threw himself on a grenade to save the lives of other soldiers in his unit. today you will hear from the men he saved just ahead. >> i was flying wing on the section leader. he was going to go down, so i made the decision to make a crash landing close to his airplane and pull him out of the cockpit. i wanted to pull him clear of the plane so that anything happened he'd be all right. i'm really talk about what it means, it is the symbol of the ooh -- about what the medal means. it is the symbol of the united states fighting man. i'm robert shapiro. over a million people have discovered how easy it is to use legalzoom for important legal documents. at legalzoom we'll help you incorporate your business, file a patent, make a will and more. you can complete our online questions in minutes. then we'll prepare your legal documents and deliver them directly to you. so start your business, protect your family, launch your dreams. at legalzoom.com we put the law on your side.

rand paul -- megyn: that is already starting to become the talking point for some on the right, rob. now it's like the sign my mom put on our kitchen cupboards when i was growing up, lack of planning on your part does not justify an emergency on my part. and the response you're hearing from people like chris is, you know, you, barack obama went and spent 800 billion on the stimulus and you pushed through a trillion dollar healthcare plan. you did all these things. now you say there is a debt emergency and i have to lose my mortgage deduction over it. and you say what, rob. >> barack obama did spend that money but it was money that was forced to be spent on account he had nothing to do with. i think many people will forgive him that. but besides, don't touch my mortgage tax credit even though it doesn't mean that much toward a mortgage ownership. more important is look at the grand scheme, the idea of deduction on taxes. 50% of the deductions artaken on any itemized tax return by the average on 10% of the population. they control roughly 80% of the wealth of the united states. let's go to a core principle, let's keep the wealthy wealthy and the poor, poor. megyn: you can make use of that, you don't have to be some millionaire to make use of that. a lot of folks take advantage of that and it helps a lot. >> the income that would be garnered is extraordinary. the money is actually there to be garnered. >> it is there to be garnered. megyn: let chris respond. >> that goes to a fundamental rule view. i notice our liberal friend went for the class warfare approach to all of this. it is there to be garnered which pre poses -- presupposes that the money belongs to the government and the government is going to take it away from you. that's what we need the discussion on. it's not just the american liberals, it's the left that is in charge now. i was actually going to sound kind of a bi-partisan note and say that the $13.3 trillion debt was built up by both parties, but this kind of class warfare and the rich need to pay through the nose stuff is over with. all right. everybody is going to have to pay. there is going to be pain on everybody's part, and this report by this commission is only going to get the conversation started. but as long as ae we start with this, oh, the money is there to be garnered and the witch are too rich, and how much money is in the hands of too few that's this redistribution of wealth european democracy stuff that nobody is going to be comfortable having a discussion of. megyn: is this all academic? maybe rob went to the class warfare place but the debt commission really has not. yes they want to tax the rich more, but they also want to tax the middle class, rob. i mean richard tr u.n. ca the head of the aflcio this plan just told working americans to quote, drop dead and nancy pelosi came out and said this is simply unacceptable. trust me she wasn't advocating on behalf of the rich. forcing president obama over at the g-20 to come out and say, hold on, hold your fire, we're going to have to make tough choices and let's not really criticize the plan until we have all the options on the table. rob. >> i agree with former speaker pelosi, yes, that's exactly where we should be. >> technically she is still the speaker. >> there is enough pain to be shared by all. the middle class is very much concerned with their fair share is just their fair share. let not look at percentages but look at -- let's not look at dollars, let's look at percentages of income that is actually taxed. >> for god sake, the top 1% -- rob, the top 1% currently pays 39% of federal income tax, the lowest 47% of households don't pay any income tax. you know, again, you're back to the class warfare then. the problem is not so much a revenue problem it's a spending problem. the government has been growing up with politicians taking other people's money which your so enthusiastic about doing more of to payoff their constituents so they can continue to get reelected. the system is broken to the point where we need to take a look at the very existence of the federal government, its reason for existing. we need to go back to constitutional principles and decide what it is that the federal government has business doing and what it doesn't have business doing and that's where we need to start. megyn: they are talking in terms of cutting back spending they are talking about potentially cutting the federal workforce by 10%, reforming potentially medmal law which is something that republicans have been calling for in connection with the healthcare debate. lower corporate tax rates, raising dividends and capital tkpw*eupbs. even the commission doesn't have the 14 of the 18 member vote to force congress to vote on this. it's a trial balloon they floated out here. the real report comes december 1st. we'll see where it goes from there. chang you so much, chris and rob. >> thank you. >> thank you. megyn: a 14-year-old girl has sex with an 18-year-old boy. she says it was rape, and later kills herself, and now the charges have been dropped because the victim is dead. does that sound right now? that story three minutes away. and is sarah palin eyeing a run for the white house in 2012? she has said something new. coming up meghan mccain joins me and will give us her take on whether sarah palin is a possibility. >> after prayer full consideration and literally pulling the family, that's what it would take, because it's great sacrifices on a family to even offer yourself up in the name of public service as a candidate ... ld be fatal. but plavix helps save lives. plavix, taken with other heart medicines, goes beyond what other heart medicines do alone, to provide greater protection against heart attack or stroke and even death by helping to keep blood platelets from sticking together and forming dangerous clots. ask your doctor if plavix is right for you. protection that helps save lives. certain genetic factors and some medicines, such as prilosec, reduce the effect of plavix leaving you at greater risk for heart attack and stroke. your doctor may use genetic tests to determine treatment. don't stop taking plavix without talking to your doctor as your risk of heart attack or stroke may increase. people with stomach ulcers or conditions that cause bleeding should not use plavix. taking plavix alone or with some other medicines, including aspirin, may increase bleeding risk, so tell your doctor when planning surgery. tell your doctor all medicines you take, including aspirin, especially if you've had a stroke. if fever, unexplained weakness or confusion develops, tell your doctor promptly. these may be signs of ttp, a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, reported sometimes less than 2 weeks after starting plavix. other rare but serious side effects may occur.

of me, i have girls that want to beat me up because of him. >> reporter: that's why samantha first came to fox earlier this month. this all started when she told police that she was ripped by joe. >> i said i'm hurting -- you're hurting me. there was a point where i sweurpld and he pulled me back down by my legs and i cried and he wiped my tears and told me everything would be okay. >> reporter: after he was charged with statutory rape samantha claims students at the high school turned on her. alternate the same time police and prosecutors didn't believe her. they said the prosecutor keisha glen tried to talk her out of it. >> they were treating her like she was the defendant and not the victim, and they were breaking my tkouts down. >> reporter: her alleged attacker then took to twitter calling her a liar and that she ruined her life. one of samantha's full friend tells us from there the teasing only got worse. >> at lunchtime people would throw stuff at her, the seniors would throw stuff at her and call her a liar. >> reporter: samantha couldn't take it and tried to commit suicide. that time she failed. she spent four days in a psychiatric hospital. her mother tried to switch her school but continue. samantha convinced her she was strong enough to go back. that was monday. monday evening samantha went into her room, wrote a date on the wall, the date of her alleged raeupl and then hung herself. >> my daughter is dead because nobody wanted to listen to her, and the people who should have stood up for her didn't. >> reporter: it gets worse from the family the abuse and harassment satisfactory man in a put up with and eventually forced her to take her own life was for something. the wayne county prosecutor dropped the case against her alleged rapist claiming it can't go forward without a victim. >> it's ridiculous, there is no reason why the charges should be dropped. the incident obviously happened. because of the outcome doesn't change the fact of what the guy did. >> i hope people will now know that what they did was wrong, and what they did drove her to this, so it's all their fault. >> i want to know how they are sleeping. i want to know, because i was up all night with all three of my boys, and i couldn't sleep a wink. i won't sleep for a longtime. megyn: next hour you will hear the boy's side of this story, and in "kelly's court" the charges were

think wink the presidency is a $64,000 question. megyn: do you remember back at the st. paul convention when your dad got the nomination. i was there. i had seen barack obama had got the nomination. i said there is no way the republicans can top this. then sarah palin came out and the energy, they loved her. >> oh, yeah. megyn: so do you believe that she really could win the republican nomination for sure? >> i think there are many variables in any campaign. i have a hard time bon tiff indicating right now this second. i want to know who she is going to put together for her team, who is going to run her campaign. how hard is she going to hit at new hampshire, is she going to go to iowa. megyn: you saw behind the scenes, you had more abg test to -- access to her than any of the rest of us did. do you think she is the real deal, does she have the substance to be the leader of this country? >> i don't know. i don't understand what she is doing if she wants to be the leader of this country doing a reality show. it's not the path i would take if i was advising someone to run to president. obama made everything possible, he was a pop culture president. maybe this is the most expensive political ad of all time. it's entirely possible. i'm on team romney, i continue to think he's a good candidate. megyn: why do you like romney, you could have had romney last night you didn't go for him. >> i think he's keeping himself away from the far right. megyn: he has romney care in massachusetts. >> he does. the people that i see are probably running right now. again i want to see who is going to come out. megyn: who do you like after romney. >> after romney i don't know. i love bobby jindal. i think it's highly unlikely he'll run for president. i like him a lot. megyn: he says i haven't made any decisions. >> that means they are running, i'm sorry. megyn: even when they say no it means they are running. barack obama says i'm not running i'm not running, now he's the president. you're no fan of christine o'donnell and she was on the tonight show and was asked about her political future. here is what she said. >> would you run again? >> i don't know if i'd run again. i'd like to keep that option open. but right now, again, like i said, our country is facing serious issues, whatever i do i want to be able to continue to advocate for those issues. megyn: she has run three times, she's lost three times. could she do it successfully a fourth? >> no, not at all, are you kidding? no. megyn: tell us how you really feel. >> i think she has a great chance of having a great reality show, a book, maybe a commentator ship somewhere. running for office i don't think she can win. megyn: meghan mccain is allowed to have her opinion. we invite all opinions on this show. what is it about her that you don't like. >> the inexperience: i think to run in office you have to be successful in every field. that's why i liked meg whitman so much she was an even credible business woman, she could have helped this country. when you fail at things that are not simple but part of life i don't think you have the capacity to run for senate. i think she would be a great reality star. megyn: did women candidates, did republican female candidates take a hit thanks to that candidacy. >> i don't know if republican candidates did. i think any female candidate can come and change the image, so to speak. i don't know if she helped things. megyn: meghan mccain, dirty sexy politics check it out. thank you lady. house speaker nancy pelosi calling for a vote on the

details on the trials of terror suspects at guantanamo bay. a brand-new hour of "america live" on a thursday. welcome, i'm megyn kelly. the obama administration waiting until after the election to decide where and how to train these detainees. but two military trials have already been held at gitmo with some surprising results. >> reporter: what most people don't realize is the two terrorists convicted in the last six months got light sentences, a maximum of eight years. a detainee who confessed to helping osama bin laden escape was given just two years as a plea agreement with the military. the impact of the ieds were used against u.s. forces in afghanistan. he admitted to killing a soldier. under a plea deal cad are will e out on the streets much sooner. >> the military jury sentenced him to 40 years in prison after admitting to murdering an american soldier. the secret deal which was done without the jury knowing it was he would serve 8 years, most which would be in canada which means he could be paroled next year. >> reporter: khadr's case was like that of chess shire. cheshire could get up to 30 years for those threats and supporting an al qaeda affiliate. they say no one is ignoring the detainees have already been held for 7 or 8 years. but the contrast is strike. 30 years in virginia for making threats and 8 years in a guantanamo court for killing an

teachers at a leadership convention saying controversial things. one teacher who was taped reportedly using the "n" word and joking about how heard it is for teachers with tenure to be fired. now that teacher is being punished. trace gallagher has more from our west newsroom. >> reporter: that was at a hilton hotel in east brunswick, new jersey. that's when the video was recorded. the new jersey school district is taking action against one of the teach us because of the comments she made. we are talking about a special education teacher, 38 years old, been teaching for 14 years. she used a racial slur saying we had a teacher that just recently like you "n" word, talking about the teacher talking to another student. the teacher has been demoted but he is still teaching. he went on to talk about teacher tenure saying this. the superintendent of schools there even though others said she was outside school grounds, the superintendent of schools came out and said this was bad. this was professionally insulting. now she has been getting nine days' suspension and her next year's pay will also not happen, her increase will not happen. she makes about 90,000 a year. the next quote you saw was that same tape talking about chris christie. here is christy in response. listen. >> i'm not surprised by what i saw the teachers union doing and saying. >> reporter: they said they would love to talk to you but you won't. >> i think they did in the video, don't you? >> reporter: the teacher has apologized and she deeply regrets those comments. us spended for 9 days. no pay increase

jason dunham. it is a beautiful destroyer. 510 feet long. 10,000 -- nearly 10,000 tons of one mean missile destroyer. it has nearly 400 evenlessed men and women, and i'm told that every single one of those men and women on this ship know the full story about jason dunham. april 14, 2004. he didn't know he would be mortally wounded that day. he had no idea he would save his brothers' lives. a few days before he was talking with other machines. he told them his helmet would probably stop a grenade. no one those would have a chance to put that theory to work. it did work. i spoke with jason's mom and dad. debbie tells me her son when he joined the marines, he left home as a boy, but when he came back from boot camp he was a man. i asked if pain helped to ease the pain of losing her son. >> people will tell you it will get better with time. it's a lie. what you will learn how to do is find a way to move on and live through each day, and what you did yesterday may not be the same that you

this has little chance of becoming law. but quiz why this bill and why now. michelle malkin is the author of "culture of corruption," and she is a fox news country tbiewtor. megyn: she she and harry reid go again. he wants to take it up in the senate. but the critics say it has no chance of passing. what are they doing? >> they are giving some sense of paying back a huge lobby, the open borders lobby. just to pull back and set the context. the open borders lobby is feeling neglected. they are feeling empty handed after two years of hope and change. during the 2008 presidential campaign obama made comprehensive immigration reform, quote-unquote, a huge blanket amnesty one of his top political agenda items. it was put on the back burner because of the stimulus and the healthcare bill. and of course the democrat had to go crawling back to this lobby during the mid-terms to drag harry reid across the finish line along with a lot of other endangered democrats. so both harry reid and nancy pelosi feel the need to engage in more gesture politics even though everyone knows it's dead on arrival it's been dead on awriefl for years, every since they pitched it. it date back to 2005, 2006. megyn: but harry reid garnered 90% of the latino vote. sharron angle's approach with the commercial she ran hurt her with that group. but now it's working. so as a political matter can the republicans wind up losing because they further alienate the latinos? >> well, that many a good question. it depend by what you mean, it's working. if you mean by it the promise of passing massive amnesty. but how many times can they make these promises, fail to deliver and still feel entitled to the open borders vote. megyn: they will say i tried several times and the gop is not letting this through. >> from what i understand, within the open borders group there is plenty of grumbling. even in chicago and illinois is a mentioned, that was the ground zero for giving birth to this dream act idea. even there there has been disgruntled democrats who are challenging rahm emanuel for not getting the dream act through. megyn: should the democrats be focusing on this? it's a short session. does it hurt them to be after the voters according to the democrats, the main message that was sent last tuesday was we need more jobs, for them to be focused on this instead of jobs measures? >> no doubt about it. that's why you have d.c. insiders and democratic strategists talking about how quote-unquote out of sync -- out of sync with the electorate by pushing this kind of thing through. if you look at details. it's worrisome and it should be to all law abiding people. the yched enticing and inseason i advising illegal aliens into the military as a path to citizenship. the fraud mechanisms are weak. there is no age with the student bailout part of it. folks who are as old as 15 who already have plenty of roots in their own countries would be able to avail themselves of what he acceptingly is an illegal alien student preference program. they would not be able to qualify for pell grants but they would be in line competing with law abiding citizens and the permanent residents of this country for work study program and federal scholarships. megyn: the dream act would provide a path to citizenship, give citizenship to kids who came to this country illegally before they were 16. there are

>> they don't. i do not understand. you don't have to have a victim that is going to take the stand to testify. if you did in all rape cases, you wouldn't be able to prosecute many of them because a lot of the women who are raped don't want to take the stand. don't want to be raped again in the courtroom. because she is unavailable, i.e., dead, hearsay doesn't apply. so the testimony she gave to the television station, that would come in. so they already have got her testimony megyn: her testimony to the television station was she admitted they had sexual intercourse which she described as rape. but she took it a step further and tried to allege that he forced her to. and that's what got the bullying started from what i can read. that's when the students turned on her and said it wasn't. your prior story was it was consensual. you stated you wanted to lose your virginity. does that factor into the statutory rape charges? >> it doesn't. lis raises a good point and i'm in accord with the for the following reasons. you see this in domestic violence cases where you have a husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, when it comes time for trial the victim recan't and they don't want to testify. prosecutors throughout the country are saying we are moving forward in the absence of your testimony and we'll prove our case. the fact that there was no forcible compulsion is not the issue. i think it is a missed opportunity for the prosecution. finally i think what happened is any 14-year-old perhaps when her mother found out would say he forced me to do it. perhaps she may have changed her story thereby trying to placate the mother. megyn: you can't blame the 14-year-old, the mother, you can't blame her either. she was obviously distraught even before her child killed herself. she went to the media. >> michigan is one of those states that does not have an anticyber bullying law or any kind of bullying law. megyn: the boy sifts was consensual from the start. listen to this boy. >> we arraigned for her to come over it was supposed to be a mutual thing >> reporter: do you feel responsible for what happened to samantha kelly? >> i don't know how to answer that. a little tbit, yes, i wish she didn't die. her parents are the ones responsible. megyn: he's referring to the fact they brought it public and the bullying started and she took her own life. can he be sued? can the mother go after him? can she go after the bullies? anybody to claim wrongful death? >> she can go after the school, she can go after him. she had gone to the school and complained to the principal. what 14-year-old girl is going to run to the principal? it just doesn't happen. you can bring a wrongful lawsuit. but i don't understand to get back to the prosecution why that isn't happening. why they dropped this case. what a terrible message that sends >> now it's a more difficult thing when it comes to the wrong actual death. to you establish the proximate cause of death. but for the bullying would the death have occurred? even if you answer that it would have. now you have to establish whether it's foreseeable it would happen. and it's difficult to say because you are social someone so much that they would take their life. that's why it would be hard to do >> there needs to be a law in michigan which is one of the only states that doesn't have one against bullying so you can narrowly define that. megyn: a lot of kid get bullied brutally and they don't kill themselves. but on the mother's side, the girl tried to kill herself and failed and the bullying continued. the students continued to torment her knowing she had tried and failed could have foreseen. he was 18, she was 14. clearly statutory rape. a lot of states have a romeo and juliet exception. should there have been that here?
