>> and our is it legal team takes a look at the sarah palin hacking trial as well as some brewing legal challenges to the arizona immigration crackdown. >> laura: caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. ♪ >> laura: hi, everyone, i'm laura ingraham, reporting tonight for bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us. to boycott or not to boycott. that is the question. and that's also the subject of this tonight's talking points memo. congressman raulgrijalva who represents tucson has announced a boycott of his own state arizona. because he opposes a new immigration law: >> this is quite possibly the most bone headed way for a congressman to represent his districts that i have ever heard of. i'm congressman rijalva vote for me and i will vote to put our state out of business. hurts the citizens and businesses he is supposed to represent. he has a long history in the radical open borders movement and never met immigration enforcement law that he actually supports. if he had accepted our invitation to come on the factor, i would have asked him if he thinks america owes reparations in the form of territory to the people of mexico. and our favorite sanctuary city, san francisco, also might lend the arizona boycotters support by joining the effort. city attorney dennis herrera recommends that the city by the bay terminate contracts with arizona businesses immediately. it's all nonsensical. look, people have a right to lodge their opposition to this and any other law they think is unfair. this is after all what hundreds of thousands did during the health care debate. but the proposed boycott of arizona is a cheap publicity stunt, not to mention illogical and counter productive. those of us who support arizona's crackdown on illegal immigration should encourage our own states to adopt similar measures. after all, if states can't help enforce the very immigration laws that congress has passed, then the concept of national sovereignty and the rule of law are totally meaningless. that's the memo. now to the top story tonight reaction. with us now is alfonzo ago glar. the executive director of the latino partnership for conservative principles and congressman steve king, a ranking member of the house immigration subcommittee. gentlemen, good to see you. congressman king, since you are sitting right here, let's start with you. this boycott is intended to do, what? i would imagine to intimidate people from supporting this law which, as far as i can tell, is wildly popular but continue to tim date because they are using dollars. is there anything wrong with that? >> well, it looks like the case is that, that he is trying to scare the businesses out of arizona or he is trying to get the businesses to change their position and press the legislature to reverse the law that was just signed by the governor the other day. i'm wondering if we look at the map of congressman grijalva's congressional district if we haven't already mexico judging by the voice that comes out of him is he advocating for mexico rather than the united states and against the rule of laugh which is one of the central pillars of american exceptionism. >> bill: alfonso, as far as i understand your position, you are against the boycott but also you are not crazy about the law; is that right? >> exactly. look, i think this law is terrible. i think it discriminates against latinos by allowing the police to suspect anyone that looks like undocumented immigrant, whatever that means. and, frankly, i think it hinders law enforcement efforts. i think law enforcement officials should be focusing on criminals and drug traffickers, not on undocumented immigrants who the vast majority are good, hard working people who don't pose a threat to our society. they should focus on the drug traffickers. now, having said, let me say that arizona is in a desperate situation and the federal government has not acted. and we're in this situation right now because president obama has not shown leadership. he said he was going to deal with immigration issue the first year of his administration and he hasn't. i think that as republicans, as conservatives, we need to propose a uniquely conservative alternative to immigration. >> laura: i get what you are saying and congressman, you can respond to this. i'm trying to figure out whether states have any recourse here. if the citizens of the state believe that the people who are there illegally should not be there and they have every right to believe that after all, they are a state. they have a right to say that, is there nothing they can do without incurring the wrath of the open borders crowd. >> they would incur the wrath of the open borders crowd unless they advocate for complete amnesty. it gives the authority to establish a uniform naturalization law. but this arizona law works within those parameters. it fits underneath the umbrella. it doesn't challenge federal law. it actually conforms to federal law. every law enforcement level throughout the history of this country has always supported every level. the supreme court cases support that as well. so this is a lot of full men nation about something that is a political position not a logical legal position. >> laura: al upon so he one thing you said earlier the law allows police to pull over anyone who looks like undocumented alien. that is absolutely not the case. the law is very clear and i would say the law sin credibly specific about what is allowed. you must, in the course of a regular police contact with an individual, have a reasonable suspicion not based solely on race, that the individual is in the country illegally. race cannot be a sole factor and the police already have to be in engagement with the individual. so the idea that police are going to be roaming neighborhoods saying you in the blue sweatshirt i want to see your papers. that's not how it's going to go down. >> not really. let's be practical here. in practice something else is going to happen. let's put that aside for a second. >> laura: that's the law. we keep putting aside the text of the law i don't mean to interrupt. that's very frustrating for me a lawyer. the text of the law actually matters. we are a country trif laws. the fact that we have hundreds of thousands of people in arizona who are there illegally, i want to know what your proposal is. you are king for a day. what would you do to remove the people who have in arizona illegally. what would you do? >> what we need is a uniquely conservative plan that is consistent with what ronald reagan believed in. that's that is let's secure our border. let's put all of our assets in the border. additional fencing, additional border patrol. but at the same time we need a guest worker program. because at the end, the root of the problem is. >> laura: so you would give them amnesty. that's fine but your answer is to make them legal. my question was very specific. this is the no spin zone. my question to you is if the people of the state want people who are there illegally to leave and they ask the government, governor, you have got to help us. we have a problem. our schools are overrun, our emergency rooms overtaxed 1.3 billion-dollar a year cost. we don't have the money. you are saying you can't do anything. once you cross the border you are untouchable? you can't be touched by law enforcement? >> laura, they didn't pass the law because of undocumented immigrants they passed the law because of crime. they want to fight drug trafficking. how are you going to top drug trafficking by going after people who. >> laura: i think there are a have a right of reasons. >> law enforcement enforcement it make informs no sense. >> 90% of the illegal drugs in america come through mexico. if you look at giuliani's broken windows effect. fix the window and break up the mob osen the street and end murder. we do it with immigration law. if we do it everywhere we won't. >> laura: i think arizona will be the first of many states to go down this road. >> i hope so. >> laura: next on the rundown could arizona and its boycott actually have a negative financial impact on the state? our fox business experts are on the case. later, a massive discrimination suit against wal-mart says the retailer pays female workers far less than their male colleagues. is it legal will analyze when we come back. xú@ honda accord and y stand behind their powertrain for up to 60,000 miles. chevy malibu stands behind theirs for up to 100,000 miles. which makes it pretty clear whose standing out front. a consumers digest "best buy" two years running. chevy malibu. compare it to anyone and may the best car win. during the spring event, qualified lessees can get a low mileage lease on this new malibu ls for around $199 a month. call for details. see your local chevy dealer. hi, i need to start saving on car insurance. money a bit tight?

[ gasps ] that's cold. making sure you get a great deal. now, that's progressive. call or click today. hour lawyer continuing now with our lead story. economic perspective on the proposed boycotts of arizona. joining us now from new york charles, a fox business senior correspondent and author of the book the sell out. charles, it's great to see you. first of all, i always think about these boycotts and, look, people can boycott if they want to boicketd. not boycott. it's a free country. can a could the effect be in an already difficult economy when arizona was maybe, maybe just starting to turn the corner on issues like real estate starting to come back? what could this mean for the people of arizona? >> right, you know, the subprime crisis hit arizona very hard. a lot of those subprime mortgages were in arizona. listen, i think there is a potential for this boycott to actually nap a major way. listen, i just work for a company, i'm here now, but my old company i couldn't walk 2 feet without seeing something to celebrate the green agenda. the point is corporations right now, big business is much more p.c. than ever before. i could see businesses, you know, glomming on to this issue in a purely p.c. fashion. that being said, laura, as know the country as a whole, legal immigrants, if you talk about one issue, that kind of unites people a lot of people are against illegal immigration. this cuts both ways for corporate america which, you know, likes to be neutral. is very p.c. in that -- in many other regards. but this could cut both ways. >> laura: i'm personally considering bringing my entire radio staff on a long weekend retreat to one of the great spas in like care-free arizona just to lodge my support for what they are doing. >> listen, i'm all for an arizona spa. i have no problem with it. >> laura: come on. here is what i don't get. you have congressman who are supposed to be representing the do tucson area, right? and he is pushing this boycott. now, you are a congressman, you are supposed to be representing the people of your state and presumably the people of the state, who are legal residents of the state. but, instead, we see that congressman grijvala lee janses lie in the open radical open borders movement. >> he is so ideological he doesn't realize he is taking food out of the mouths of immigrant families who work down there and need that business to be down there. like you said before, arizona was really hard-hit by the great recession. it was the place, one of the epicenters of subprime lending and subprime loans that blew up and businesses were really hurt down there. to be a congressman from that area and calling for a boycott of business in arizona you have got to be -- you know, you have to be out of your mind. >> laura: it's the dumbest thing i have ever heard. incredibly idiotic. >> put it this way, we have near live 10% unemployment few for the past two years or year and so many months that the president obama has been in office, guess what his major sort of legislative achievement was. it wasn't getting unemployment down, it's passing health care reform which became -- you saw very high unemployment. there is an ideological agenda here which trumps good economics. >> laura: charles, i want to move on to economics. it looks like now for the first time the parties are basically tied when it comes to how the public judges their handling of the economy in economic matters. for a couple of years, really four years the democrats have been riding high in the polls. now it's even. what does that mean as we are slowly moving out of this recession. >> a lot of confluences here. outrage at wall street. what the average american really has seen over the last two years is. this wall street has done very well. right? wall street, low interest rates, all the guarantees that the administration gave to the banks to allow them to be too big to fail. allowed them to make a lot of money. goldman sachs made $3.4 billion. >> laura: million is a bonus. >> that's a bonus for lloyd blankfein. guess what the average mainstream american got? they got a stimulus package that was supposed to keep unemployment around 8%. unemployment went to 10%. >> laura: charles, you are being very unfair, i believe the obama tax cut, how many dollars a week did you end up getting like 12 bucks a week? >> 12 bucks a week. can you buy three beers at the pub with that one. >> laura: yeah, come on. >> i don't know which pub. maybe you have to go -- >> laura: not in new york. we didn't each get into michael bloomberg chiming in on the arizona debate either. that's for another segment. >> we have a lot of problems in new york city. >> laura: we appreciate it, charles. directly ahead, our barack and a hard place duo will debate president obama's get out the vote strategy for the mid terms. and, later, the sarah palin hacker trial is in our spotlight all coming up. >> laura: in the barack and a hard place segment tonight, as we told you last night the president is already starting to rally the base for the midterm elections. with his unpopularity soaring after the health care rammed through, will he actually hurt the democrats he is trying to help? joining us now from new york our barack and hard place duo dr. monica crowley and alan colmes. hey, guys how are you? alan always teases me. i had to finally get him back. all right, guys. let's talk about this new strategy that was unveiled or maybe it's an old strategy that's been newly deployed. president obama trying to appeal to the base whip up the base in that dnc video over the weekend. alan, i want to start with you. you are advising the president? >> i am? >> arizona case, is it smart to do this video? >> he, first of all, his ratings have not gone down. he has stayed about the same with health care. they have not gone up. he has not taken a hit in the numbers. it's taking a while for health care to kick in. 32 million people getting the benefit haven't received it yet. so, as time goes on, and as more people get ahold of this and get the benefit of it, i think you will see the numbers going up. but they haven't done down yet. >> laura: i like how you are keeping the faith on health care. you are still waiting for that dead donkey bounce. >> you want to talk down the economy and talk down health care. you want to talk down everything he has done. >> laura: i'm talking about the numbers. i'm talking about the facts. gallup, fox, rasmussen, quinnipiac. it's all bad. >> who has said they don't want obama to campaign for them, anybody? >> laura: first of all, i will ask your family friend here. let's talk about the fact, monica, that only one campaign stop so far has been scheduled. it's for the same person. two stops for barbara boxer. nothing else as far as i can tell on the schedule for any candidate except boxer. and the president again went to iowa today. >> yeah. and i would just note, laura that barbro boxer's numbers did not move at all after the president's stops in california. let's think about this, before barack obama's adding big triumph on health care, let's look at his track record. okay, so he went to new jersey, the republican won. he went to virginia, the republican won. he went to massachusetts, and the republican won. and that was when his job approval was still 50 above. now he is down 43 to 47% 48% job approval. i cannot imagine what the unpopularity of health care reform, laura, that nobody in america wanted, with nearly 10% unemployment rates staying steady, with endless bailouts, with trillion-dollar deficits as far as the eye can see, with 13 trillion-dollar national debt, and the list goes on. i cannot imagine any vulnerable democrat wanting the president to come into his swing district or swing state and campaign for him. >> alan: who has set don't come? i haven't heard anybody say it. >> laura: congressman colmes representing the eighth district of south carolina. i'm just making it up. would you in a close race asked president to campaign. >> absolutely. >> laura: really? you want to lose? >> home sales up 27% last month. you have got ford now showing a profit. you have got div m paying back. you have got the banks paying back. that was the bush bailout i didn't hear conservatives complaining about. lawyer layer i did. i hated it. >> feathers in his cap very successful presidency and it's getting better all the time. >> here is the kicker, laura, all the issues i laid out from the failed stimulus to the unemployment rate to health care reform that nobody wanted, it all reflects underlying issue which is a general unresponsiveness by the democratic party, including the head of that party, barack obama to what the american people want. and i think any democrat is really rolling the dice, they are taking a huge gamble if they are going to choose to bring him in to have him campaign for them. >> laura: can we actually think about hollywood? when i think of you and monica i think of hollywood and the red carpet and academy awards. new study came out. north carolina state, i believe, about the power of celebrity and that especially recently the george clooney involvement and maybe spielberg and those types, that it doesn't have the cachet politically to move numbers as it might have in years past. alan, should obama keep going into the hollywood well for support? is that going to help? >> alan: how did oprah do for him. >> during the campaign oprah did really well for him. it's not the landscape that it was 16 months ago. now do you want them out with you? do you want them out now. >> i don't care about that i don't think most people vote because of celebrity status. although it's been estimated by university of maryland a million plus votes went to obama because of oprah. both sides do it. everybody wants their celebrity friends. a lot of country artist perform and sing -- sang for george w. bush. >> pat boone. he has a couple. >> alan: everybody tries to get the hollywood angle. >> they took a look at young people how think would be swayed by jay-z and beyonce coming out for obama and actually young people in particular were not swayed by celebrity endorsements. in a lot of these cases the celebrity backing actually hurt the candidate. >> laura: young people see celebrities 24/7, no biggy. jay-z and beyonce are in the situation room, whatever. i mean, they don't care. monica and alan, it's great to see you. plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. is obama's debt commission gearing up to break one of his major campaign promises? we will tell you what we know. and the aclu plos a -- plots a course to break that arizona immigration law. is it legal? we hope you stay tuned to those reports. so-called debt commission convened for the first time. the president said that everything has to be on the table to tackle the national deficit. and over the weekend, bowls, the commission's leader told "fox news sunday" he wouldn't rule out anything, including a national sales tax or any other tax. what about the president's campaign promise not to raise income taxes on the middle class? >> i want to see a show of hands. how many people here make less than a quarter million dollars a year? [cheers] >> all of you who raised your hand, making less than a quarter million dollars a year. you will not see your taxes increase one single dime, not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains tax. no tax. i will not raise taxes for anybody making under $250,000 a year. >> we can't raise taxes on the middle class during this economy. >> laura: the tape does not lie. joining us now from capitol hill is congressman general hencerling. is he a member of the debt commission. congressman, you all met and you are meeting once a month and then in december the recommendations come out. conveniently timed after the midterm elections. what can we -- from what you have seen and heard so far. the v.a.t. tax is a thing that everybody is talking about. are our fears justified? >> well, i don't know, laura. i mean, i approach this like i approach most projects in washington, high hopes, low expectations. i mean, the truth is, we have a spending crisis more than we have a debt crisis. the debt is the symptom. spending is the disease. we got to get control of spending or we are going to become greece without the gnc and the parthnone. we don't need any more taxes if you try to tax your way out of this problem, completing the transformation of united states to europe by employs a v.a.t., ultimately the taxes would have to double on the next generation and at that point, you know, our children and grandchildren they're living in smaller homes, driving older unreliable cars. they are competing for fewer jobs and shrinking paychecks and their lives are limited to small timid dreams. i mean, this is america. this shouldn't be happening. and so i hope that we don't see it, but at this point you know, we are just getting started. i agree everything has to be on the table because as soon as i take something off the table, they are going to take something off the table and we might as well not meet. >> laura: there is a sense, i think, among a lot of folks who have followed washington and i have been following politics for a long time. that there is this sense of inevitability, that something big and something really expensive for the working people of this country is going to be recommended at the end of all of this. now, the breakdown of the committee, 10 democrats, right? eight republicans. how many do you need to adopt a recommendation? >> well, you need 14. but the truth is, laura, two thirds of the people who are on the commission were either appointed by the president or they are of his party. so if you were actually going to design this for success, like the 9/11 commission, you would have had it split even steven. so it's not -- it's got a short-term focus. >> >> laura: the fix is in you are saying? >> it could be. this could be an exercise in sweeping most inconvenient topic under the carpet before the election. it could be laying the predicate for a v.a.t. tax. and then i suppose there is a slide possibility that that people could negotiate and put on the path of national sanity. i'm not holding my breath yet. >> laura: if they were going to do that congressman ryan and entitlements and what we do about it say a recommendation is voted on and you get the requisite 14 members to vote for it, then what happens with those recommendations? >> well, theoretically, -- procedurally, absolutely nothing. congress is not obligated to vote on it now, the speaker of the house, the senate majority leader claims that in a lame duck session of congress these recommendations will be voted on. you know, we will see if that happens. but, again, what we have here is a spending crisis. we're on the road to doubling taxes on the next generation if we don't somehow control the spending crisis. and the question is, you know, are the american people now engaged enough. and i hope that they are to try to put a stop to the spending crisis. >> laura: well, and congressman, lindsey graham said today that he doesn't see any movement on this immigration reform bill until now about 2012. he is not going to support it he is ticked off by the way it was handled. do you agree with that they are not getting anywhere with immigration at least not this year, maybe not even next? >> you know, laura, i don't know. it's no surprise to you that the senate majority leader doesn't consult with me with what he is going to do. certainly they have their challenges over in the senate, not the least of which is that a big wall street bailout in credit constriction bill is in the senate. it's the last thing we need huge credit crunch when we are losing jobs, where we lost more jobs in a generation to have this bill come in and turn us into a perpetual bailout nation. >> laura: they have a lot of other damage to do on the united states. i appreciate it congressman, thanks a lot. represent our interests in that commission. and in a moment, will opponents of the arizona immigration law be able to block the action in court? sarah palin faces her alleged attacker in court. will her testimony seal his fate? is it legal is next.

they will bring it in both state and federal courts? >> absolutely. they will claim due process. the aclu is saying this due process the quote, unquote ability for local and state police officers to pull someone over on reasonable suspicion, you know, takes away due process from those folks. the problem that they are going to have, the aclu is going to have with an argument like that though laura is that really, if you look carefully at the law, it's drafted to mimic federal law. it's just saying, look, there is a federal law on the books. we are going to make sure that states and local cops follow the federal law. >> laura: kimberly, i think people who have spouted off and fan this law people haven't read it it's carefully crafted. incorporating the federal statutes, federal responsibilities. not to trump federal law but merely tone hans it and really, you know, enforce it. >> that's the key. because if in any way it contradicts federal law, a specific case and tailor it to the facts of the case to try to make their best argument, meaning the aclu. if it mirrors federal law and again it was carefully draft sod it would survive constitutional challenges. right now on its face it appears that they have done a good job in drafting it. so the problem is that people haven't really enforced the federal law to the extent that they could. so arizona is saying we are going to put some teeth to it. adopt it in our state and see if it survives constitutional muster, fourth amendment challenge and 14th amendment. >> the other thing that people are not talking about is it not as if you can be walking down the street and be pulled over for no reason. the law only kicks in is if the officer is already in quote unquote legal contact for you. for example have you been pulled over for traffic violation or you have run a stop sign. at that point then, the reason suspicion standard comes into play. so i agree with kimberly. i think it will pass constitutional muster but look for the aclu, laura, to set up a case where somebody is pulled over and the reasonable suspicion is an issue. look for that. >> that will be the challenge for the supreme court in that regard. >> laura: kimberly, what people also don't notice or pay attention to is the fact that under federal law if you are a resident alien, you are required to carry your green card. >> right. there is no new requirement here. >> laura: people say well you are asking people for their papers. you can't do that well, how do we exactly determine when people are here illegally then. number two. the federal law already requires that people have their green cards on their person. >> right. it's a very important distinction. it's not establish agnew requirement. they are saying you know the green card you are supposed to have work visas, be prepared to show that documentation if, again, there are some circumstances that cause a police officer, a law enforcement individual to come up to you. it's like do you have some identification? who are you? they can argue that there is an interest in doing that, knowing who we are dealing with and whether someone has criminal record or something they should, perhaps, be detained for. >> laura: let's go on to the palin hacking case. this is interesting. the trial involving this -- he is a brat, very very least. david kernel. lis, was he actually -- tell me if i am wrong. i think i read sr. that he was actually playing the victim card here at the trial? >> oh, yes. absolutely. he said, look, it's really sarah palin. sarah palin obviously is the victim her family it's really her fault because her access code wasn't good enough. it wasn't secure enough. so, you know, a bimbo like me could get into it, not me, me. kernel. i'm calling him the bimbo. it's really her fault because she didn't have a better access code. don't put your daughter's name or somebody that you know or your husband's name on it. it was too easy. he didn't testify, which is not supposed to be held against him but will. he put on one witness who said he was mentally disturbed, yeah, i think so if you are hacking into the sarah palin's address. >> he didn't even like her politics. he was looking to get dirt on her. he invaded the privacy of her family, her children, the whole thing. a message needs to be sent. these crimes are happening far too frequently. gives yahoo a bad name because they can be compromise sod easily like they did in this situation. he is look at four years for the counts. should he get that? no. nevertheless, he should be convicted. he better open his mouth and throw himself on the mercy of the court and beg for probation. >> he has got to apologize completely. >> laura: i don't know who is giving him advice. if you are his lawyer. >> bad advice. >> laura: you can't plead well, she is really not that bright. that's is like the worse thing you can possibly say. i don't even know who is giving him advice. lis, doesn't this raise the general issue of the expansion of the cyber crime, we will call it an industry in the united states of america? right? we are really not prepared, are we for the on slot of cyber crime? >> that's that's right. that's why we don't know what to do with these cases. it's very difficult to prosecute them. fortunately this guy made it very easy because he didn't even say he didn't do it. he didn't say it wasn't me it was some other joker. he didn't say that he played the victim card sarah palin which is not smart enough to get a good access code. >> punish him and send him his-to-his room and pull the cord from the computer. >> laura: step away from the computer. >> away, away. >> laura: we have more in the unruly is it legal segment in a moment, including a landmark sex discrimination lawsuit against wal-mart. and lindsay lohan's father waging a legal battle against his daughter. those reports coming up. ♪ [ male announcer ] we make them beautiful. ♪ we make them tougher. ♪ we make them legendary. we make them better... ♪ to make your life better. ♪ and we've never made one... quite like this. the 100% electric nissan leaf. ♪ the 100% electric nissan leaf. like, keep one of these over your head. well, i wasn't "supposed" to need flood insurance, but i have it. fred over here chose not to have it. ♪ me, i've got a plan. fred he uh... fred what is your plan?

[ female announcer ] only flood insurance covers floods. for a free brochure, call the number on your screen. >> laura: part two of our is it legal segment tonight. we will begin with the ninth circuit of appeals clearing the way for a massive class action lawsuit against wal-mart. some female employees are accusing the retailer of paying men more money and promoting them more often. we are rejoined by fox attorneys and fox news analysts lis wiehl and kimberly guilfoyle both in new york. we have got to leave time for the lindsay lohan story. >> we have got to get to that for sure. >> laura: lis, let me start with you, the ninth circuit the judicially liberal court of appeals in the united states. >> most reversed. >> laura: 6 to 5 on the panel rules this suit could go forward. didn't comment on the merits of the suit but that the class is actually valid. tell us about this story that goes back to 1998. >> six women in different wall matters who sued say we are discriminated against we are suing for the 1.5 million female employees that go back to 2000. the court in the six decide the most liberal court in the country ruled in this very divided opinion that the case could go forward and that these six women could really represent such a large class. and that's where i think we are going to have a problem with this. the supreme court is going to have a problem with this because you are talking about one of the biggest corporations in the country, six women representing 1.5 in 8,000 different stores worldwide? that's a tough class to make. >> laura: i think it's now the biggest retailer in the world, wal-mart. >> right. >> laura: kimberly, think about this. it's six women, and it's wal-mart. if it were six women and it was google, you just wonder, google based in, you know, out in the left coast and wal-mart represents kind of middle america, you know, a lot of these people these elites don't like wal-mart. it smacks of something that doesn't seem quite fair to me. >> i mean, look, these women have a good case, it appears. the court didn't rule on the merits. but, again, coming from the left coast, and having dealt with the ninth circuit, it was pretty compelling that they have made it on a 6-5 ruling. because that shows that this was kind of a tough issue for them that perhaps they think it might be a little bit overreaching, overbroad to say that six women shouldn't represent that many wal-mart employees. wal-mart is in big trouble. you are talking about a substantial amount in damages if this case goes forward. and it is the biggest quorption that anyone can really think of when you associate wal-mart they better settle. >> laura: lis, do you think they will settle this before going any further. >> they are looking at billions of dollars of loss here. they have got to settle. >> laura: blood -- flood gates open. trial lawyers to come feeding on the next prey. >> trial lawyers feed on prey? i never thought of that. nobody. >> laura: nobody likes trial lawyers. we have important issues like this lindsay lohan. people see lindsay lohan. i guess she is in these celebrity shows or magazines. she is all over the place. her father has concluded that she cannot take care of her own affairs. she has an addiction problem according to him. he wants her estate to give him conservativeship of her affairs. now, lis, how easy is this to do? first of all we saw it happen with brittany spears. >> very difficult. you are talking about a 23-year-old here. she is of age, lindsay lohan. you are not talking about not such the best role model in the world. father michael has already in and out of rehab by himself. now he said he is all concerned. he wants the money. i think even if he were able to prove, which he sent the cops over to lindsey's house and her sister's house and they found no abuse. even if he were able to approve abuse or anything like that, the court would step in and say, okay, we will put lindsey's money in somebody else's hand, michael, not yours. somebody who has not got an addiction problem himself. >> yeah. they may appoint someone else as conservator. really shouldn't someone intervene? the mom has been in charge somewhat with lindsey. >> laura: enabler. >> the sister getting the same six tattoos. kicked off another movie. submit the case by clicking on tmz.com there is a wealth of evidence to suggest she is out of control. >> the dad is no better. >> laura: it has to be a family member. does it not, lis, to even go down this road of conservatorship? do you have to be a primary family member to do this? >> if there is a family member that is responsible enough. in other words, the court can step in and look at guardian ad litem thing. other thing she is an adult. how can you step in unless you can show she is completely out of control. >> laura: is he not ward cleaver. like father like daughter. >> he is sober. >> laura: she is very talented young woman. it's a very sad issue. we hope she gets help if she needs it? >> we sure do. >> laura: one other. this video is like many videos that end up on television. it's just kind of sad and i guess some people find it funny. i think this is the youtube you boob moment of the day. this teacher actually decides to approach a student 15-year-old named sam rubio. he says hey, let's go into the bathroom and box. lis, the teacher, i think he taught middle school. >> ninth grade. >> he has now resigned his position. a liability here? could there be liability here? >> absolutely. especially laura because this wasn't the first time. this was the third boy he had gone boxing in the restroom with. wouldn't the school have been on notice after the first two times that something is a little weird here where he is taking a 14-year-old into the restroom and boxing with him? >> yeah, it's very odd and it's inappropriate. whatever happened to going and getting an education? what's wrong with this dumb dumb. want to go fight and let's hide? he knows he is doing something wrong. that's why he goes into the bathroom. >> the kids don't have a choice. teacher says let's go in the restroom and fight. >> that teacher is going to be seen in like a cage fight near you. a neighborhood near you. >> lucky he wasn't charged with assault. >> i have this crazy concept that teachers should help students master the whole subject, verb, direct object thing before they move on to boxing. >> total lunancy, ridiculous. >> p.e. teacher, hello. what's the deal? >> laura: teacher now needs to go into detention. >> with lohan's father. >> laura: exactly. pinheads and patriots on deck. the singer sting is in the mix. wait until you hear his solution to the so-called climate crisis when we come back.
