i could be doing right now. megyn: yeah. reporter: so i was psyched, i was fired up, and we re going to see you down the road pretty soon in the all of this. megyn: i m looking forward to all of that. i personally was disappointed you didn t take your 4-year-old son paul s advice, i heard nothing about robots or sharks. i don t know why, but if people want to know what i m talking about, go to foxnews.com/ what special? reporter: special report. and, listen, i probably would have gotten ripped for that question too. [laughter] megyn: that really is a mickey mouse question he wanted you to ask. reporter: that s right. it really is. megyn: thanks, bret. reporter: see ya, megyn. megyn: well, you re not done with bret baier, not by a long shot. this saturday contest that we re waiting for could spell the end for a handful of these campaigns. bret baier will be anchoring our special saturday coverage of the iowa straw poll. who will survive and who will not?
did you feel what i felt? kelly, foxnews.com. thank you panel. one of america s top skiers may have fixed his chances of competing in the olympics. obviously, we have breaking news on that. it s all because of an ugly incident on an airplane in mid flight. plus, he used to fight fires. now he just fights. the controversy over how one of new york s bravest is getting a free ride for life from the taxpayers. next on kelly s court.
yeah. [laughter] megyn: are you suggesting pawlenty is less than dynamic? yes. i m saying megyn: stirewalt says he was very liberal in many of his things as governor, immigration of minnesota, and now i think megyn: but my question is are these independents going to hold things against pawlenty? they re upset with obama and house gopers. i think they re probably waiting to see, get more definition about what the race is going to be. there s too many unknowns. too many unknowns to really know how it s all going to fall a year and a half there now. we re in the summer, a year and a half away. people are going to the beach. i m not sure most people are paying attention right now. megyn: well, i think they pay attention on the big news days, they watch. i really feel like i can speak to this because i was the average news viewer for the past four months. [laughter] and you know, don t they, when there s not a lot of news, and there s something big happening.
progress on those issues. alan colmes is host of the alan colmes show and my guest now. welcome back. megyn: thank you v.. it s a pleasure to see you again. 70% say he has failed to solve our problems or made them worse. poll change. polls change all the time. megyn: over a year before the election, but if you re advising president obama, how do you get him to turn this around? i would say stay the course. my advice is, hey, did you see that republican debate last night? you re fine. megyn: you weren t threatened? is. 59% don t blame obama for the economy and 61% say he inherited the economic problems from george west w. bush, so i can sw you polls that would mitigate megyn: i think you re right, but the thing that interested me more was the independent numbers because everybody looks at those. he s losing some support on the left, i m sure you ve seen that. but where are they going to
it is an important decision and they may get enough votes to do that. but i do think there s a good chance that this will be decided by the supreme court. megyn: and that is something that sort of, you know, back of the hand, legal pundits have been saying, the obama administration may want to avoid because of the stacking of the court, as i just described it, you got four liberals, four conservatives and kennedy, who you know, he s more moderate, but he leans right, so it s sort of cocktail nap canning if you re cocktail napkin out your chances, you don t them, you are a supporter of the law. in any way, george, thank you. appreciate your perspective. like to talk more about it. mig all the best. bye bye. megyn: got another fox news alert, welcome everyone, by the way n. a busy second hour of america live , i m megyn kelly, we are getting word that confidence in the american economy has fallen to the lowest level in 30 years, a key index measuring
