>> reporter: and you've got more community groups and labor groups joining these protests, megyn. now as they go on each day kind of has a different theme, again, taking a live look down there. they were expecting upwards of a thousand people. we can't really tell you how many, but it looks to us more like there are a hundred, few hundred people at max that are now kind of protesting, this is on the upper east side in new york. this theme today is aimed at maintaining new york state's 2% tax on millionaires which is slated to end this year. the idea was to march on the homes of the five of the city's wealthiest businessmen. this, again, is more tape earlier. they're holding some protests down there, this is in lower manhattan. again, they were going after five of the wealthiest businessmen in new york. the plan is to present them giant checks to show them how much less these men would pay if this 2% tax ended. the five, as you said, who are being demonstrated against are rupert murdoch, jamie dimon, the ceo of jpmorgan chase who did not back government bailouts. remember, he refused to bail out bear stearns at first. david koch, a longtime libertarian who believes in drastically lower taxes and limited social services. john paulson, he's a hedge fund manager. again, we're looking live again as this protest moves to the upper east side in manhattan. john paulson, a hedge fund manager who made billions betting against subprime mortgages, howard philistine who invested heavily in banks and hotels. the protesters were suppose today host a news conference earlier, it never materialized. all they said is they are simply trying to get their message out. tomorrow, seiu will protest for better jobs, megyn. megyn: trace gallagher, thank you. and a fox news alert from the campaign trail. there is breaking news now in the race for the white house. our own campaign carl cameron confirming a big development with the gop field. carl? >> reporter: hi, megyn. well, there's a big debate tonight of the republican candidates, and there will be somebody making news beforehand. the current governor of new jersey, chris christie, who has been the summit -- subject of tremendous speculation today will come to dartmouth college and here at the event site he will endorse mitt romney, the front runner in the polls. chris christie will give his support to mitt romney for president. this is for mitt romney sort of following a pattern. after former minnesota governor tim pawlenty dropped out of the race, it took only a matter of days before he threw his support behind mitt romney. chris christie said he would not run for president only a matter of two weeks ago will emerge on the stage with mitt romney at his side and formally give his endorsement to the national front runner. another sign of romney's ability to coalesce the republican support across the country. he has been racking up endorsements very aggressively, trying to take advantage of rick perry's slide in the polls and solidify a perception that he is the inevitable nominee. a juggernaut front runner. the addition of chris christie to his team with today's endorsement expect inside a matter -- expected in a matter of hours is a very big deal. megyn: it sure is. carl cameron breaking that news first. thank you so much. chris stirewalt joining me now, host of power play on foxnews.com live. chris, this was an endorsement the perry camp told me explicitly it would like to have. alas, for them it was not meant to be. >> i don't think it was probably ever meant to be. certainly, chris christie and mitt romney are both more moderate kinds of republicans from the northeast, and as carl points out, they appeal to the same sort of republican establishment. obviously, we knew that it would have been bad for romney had christie opted to get in the race, they would have been competing for the same votes, so this sort of recapitulates romney's position in the race. what's interesting is the timing of this. this seems like a strange moment for the front runner to roll out what may be the most important endorsement he has for some time. i wonder why now, and it may have something to do with the fact that we've seen this surge this polls for herman cain of late. megyn: i want to talk to you about that because that is a huge political headline today. herman cain has been rising in the polls, and our viewers know that by now, but they may not know just how high he has risen. look at the latest polls, ladies and gentlemen. the latest gallup poll shows herman cain is tying mitt romney just about, look at that, almost right at the same level as mitt romney. compare that to a month ago when cain was pulling just 5%. and here's another poll, south carolina 26% of voters there now say they would prefer to see cain as the nominee, neck and neck with romney. and take a look at virginia, another key state. they're saying there it would be a bitter battle between cain and romney who both come in at 21%. look at perry, a distant third, at 11%. chris, for those who believed that herman cain was a flash in the pan and not a real contender, they need to think again. >> well, clearly, mitt romney's going to have to think again because it's been an unalloyed good for the romney campaign. if you look at those numbers, mitt romney hasn't gained any support and, as a matter of fact, has lost support in the gallup poll. he has not benefited from the severe downgrade in rick perry's status to the third place. herman cain's picked up all that support, mitt romney hasn't been able to capitalize on that. at a serb point -- certain point, herman cain goes from being a spoiler on the right who allows romney to continue to progress, and at a certain point becomes a genuine threat mitt romney, and we may see that play out when they debate tonight airing up in the new hampshire. we may see herman cain get treated a little differently. megyn: you know, with all due respect to mr. cain, it's not that he's been given a pass at these debates, but by his fellow candidates he mostly has, right? so the questioners target mr. cain, but the fellow panelists on the stage have not really taken aim at him. they've been taking aim at romney and perry mostly, those two. that could change tonight. in particular, romney may be dweerg up his game plan to go after the author of the 9-9-9 plan. >> maybe too soon because republicans just love herman cain. he connects with them in a visceral way, he's talking the talk that they want to hear and sticking to attacking obama and not attacking the rest of the field. the moment that you see mitt romney go on the attack against herman cain will be an implicit admission on the part of the romney campaign that they are having trouble putting together their coalition. megyn: it's no accident that the campaign is, quote, rolling out this endorsement now. this is something they likely knew they had, and they choose, these campaigns do, when they're going to announce their big endorsements. but one does have to wonder why now, and that is a huge news story today. chris stirewalt, thank you so much, sir. megyn: back to the campaign trail in a minute, but i want to bring you back to our breaking news on our top story this afternoon, and we are getting word from missouri that dozens of emergency workers are now searching a well. it is under a deck at a vacant home not far from the home where baby lisa irwin vanished according to her parents a week and a day ago. joining me now by phone is ray reid of kcmo radio in missouri. ray, two significant developments today at least, and number one is this search. what do we know about why they are searching this well? >> this seems to be a site that investigators just kind of stumbled upon during their canvass in the neighborhood. they came upon this home that's been vacant for over two years. the home itself is collapsed, they've had to make sure it was safe and also do an air quality assessment before firefighters could rappel down. there's no specific tip that sent them to this home, it's less than a half mile, just a few blocks from the irwin family home, and they want to leave no stone unturned. megyn: so there's nothing specific in terms of a tip or a dog scent trail or anything along those lines that led them to this well? >> >> no. this is investigators trying to explore every option. the local crimestoppers has received over 1,000 tips related to this case with about 300 of those being forwarded to investigators. megyn: and, ray, these are live pictures coming back to us of the search of here they are at this vacant home underneath the deck, again, searching this well near the home of this missing baby. she's been missing now since last monday night when her mother said she put her down in her crib after 10 p.m., and when the father came home from an overnight job at 4 a.m., they say the baby was missing. ray, i want to shift to the other piece of news today, and it could prove to be significant. police took their investigation to a nearby grocery store, the test value foods -- festival fooz, where now they are reportedly saying that deborah bradley, the mother, and an unidentified man were seen buying wine, paper plates and napkins about five hours before lisa bradley -- i'm sorry, deborah bradley said she put her baby in the crib for the night. they're saying the mother and an unidentified man was buying wine, plates and napkins. what do we know? is. >> well, we're just beginning to learn that story. police are coming out with those comments this morning. we do know that over the course of the past week that certain individuals we can best describe as criminal informants all along have been telling us they wanted us to look more closely at the mother and perhaps some relationships and associates that she has in the community. megyn: oh, boy. ray, have we heard anything more about -- our local affiliate was reporting on friday when we went on air that there were phone records that they, a law enforcement officer was saying showed a 2:30 a.m. phone call on the mother's phone at the time when she claimed she was sleeping. she said she put the baby down at 10, she went to sleep, she didn't awake until 4 a.m. when the husband came home, and we heard from a source that at 2:30 a.m. her phone records showed she was making a call. any update on that? >> we do not have an update on that. again, that just points to the earlier comments by the family that mysteriously all their cell phones disappeared during this incident. megyn: and now the family of the mother, the family of deborah bradley is suggesting that they believe and perhaps she believes that she will be arrested sometime in the near future. >> and they made that claim to another network this morning of which they're speaking exclusively to, but the kcpd, captain steve young, has called that absurd and says he has had no conversations with investigators about any arrest coming. megyn: ray, thank you so much for the update. we will stay on this, and we will have that captain young back on the program in just a short time, and we will ask him all of these questions. in the meantime, we've got this fox news alert for you, live pictures coming in from new york city as wall street protesters have now showed up outside the home of a corporate executive. can you imagine this? they're upset about the taxes that millionaires pay, among other things. whose particular house this is, i cannot tell you, but we looked up most of these five executives, and they employ hundreds of thousands if not tens of thousands of people. stu varney minutes away on what's behind this, and should they be going to people's homes. to be more environmentally aware, we are now printing on the back sides of used paper and we switched to fedex cause a lot of their packaging contains recycled materials. tell them what else fedex does. well we're now using more electric trucks and lower emission planes. we even offer a reusable envelope. now, can't we at least print on the back sides of used paper? what's the executive compensation list...? [ male announcer ] sustainable solutions. fedex. solutions that matter. megyn: fox news alert, want to take you now to missouri where we have live pictures coming back to us of a search at a nearby home, a home that is close to the home of little baby, missing baby lisa irwin. here's a reporter on site where they are searching a well under a house. let's listen. >> only be down there for a specific amount of time before they bring 'em out, clean 'em up and search again. we're going to have continuing coverage of this as it develops. working for you live in the northland. megyn: there you heard he was explaining how they are getting the workers into the well. it appears now that they are actually sending people down into the well where they are confirming that they're searching for this baby, but not confirming exactly why. our earlier radio reporter said they didn't have a specific tip that she had been brought there, but we will continue to monitor that. we've got the live pictures coming into the control room, and we'll update you as soon as we have anything. fox news alert now, the so-called millionaires march is now taking place in new york city. hundreds of the occupy wall street protesters fired up and taking their message right outside of the homes of some of the top five business executives here in manhattan. stu varney is host of "varney & company" on the fox business network, and nina easton is a fox news contributor. she's the neighbor of a bank of america executive who had this done at his own home by seiu protesters, and she witnessed it all. let me start with you on that, nina. >> yeah. megyn: forget what they're marching for. is it appropriate to have hundreds of people storming the private homes when they're not going to corporate headquarters, the private homes of these individuals? >> right. yeah, this happened a year and a half ago. and, you know, megyn, i am a firm believer in the right of protest. it's very much a part of the social fabric of this country -- megyn: and here's the one on screen right of what happened to your neighbor, the bank of america executive. go ahead. >> yeah. but, again, when you take a protest out of a public street and you go up and you surround my neighbor's house and what was his, he was guilty of simply being a bank of america executive at a time when congress was debating wall street reform. was he treating his employees badly? no. was he guilty of something awful? no. he simply was an executive of bank of america. we had close to 700 protesters swarm across my lawn, onto his lawn, circle his home and terrorize his son who was inside. i think it's a case of where these guys can't get their, they can't get their, what they want, their agenda passed, they can't get what they want through legal means, so they go ahead, and they trespass, and they, in this case in the new york now where they're trying to get, up the media attention on it. in this case where, when they protested my neighbor's home, by the way, as you recall, megyn, there was no media with it. they just brought along -- megyn: they department want media -- they didn't want media attention. >> they knew we'd all be criticizing it. they did not bank on the fact that i actually lived across the street, i wrote about it and commented on it afterwards. megyn: stu, it's the same group in part, seiu union, who's joined with these occupy wall street protesters in helping them get organized and go to people's homes. they seem to be upset, the seiu president had a piece out saying the one demand they have is to create jobs. is that how you do that? >> i don't think so. it look like a clear alignment of president obama who wants to tax the rich and the demonstrators who are now going to the homes of the rich. they seem to be closely aligned in terms of policy, object i haves and now -- objectives and now tactics. i would have thought this was rather dangerous for the president to align himself so cleary with a movement -- clearly with a movement that is correct get out of homes and go to the private homes of executives. megyn: one of the homes they're going to is jamie dimon, a bank that was on it own two feet. >> he runses a bank which employs 250,000 people. do you think he's going to employ more people? the basis of this protest at jamie dimon's house is they hate the banks -- megyn: even the ones like jpmorgan chase that helped alleviate some of the financial crisis. >> they hate all banks. it's a blanket dislike, a blanket distrust. i have to stress it is surely dangerous for the president or leading democrats to align so closely with this kind of demonstration. megyn: well, certainly nancy pelosi's thrown her support behind them, the president was begin the opportunity to comment and did not condemn them. what do you think?
