Joins "DaySide" hosts Juliet Huddy and Mike Jerrick for what promises to be a lively hour of informative fun!

Here's what we have on tap for Wednesday:

Tears of joy turn to tears of sadness, as families in West Virginia learn that 12 of the 13 trapped miners were dead, just hours after news spread they were alive. The only survivor, 27-year old Randal McCloy Jr. is in critical condition, we’ll talk to his brother-in law who has been at Randal's side in the hospital.

The Sago mine had over 200 alleged safety violations in 2005, but did any of those violations play a role in this tragedy? The Labor secretary has promised an investigation into the cause of the explosion. FOX's Kelly Wright is live in Washington with a report.

Plus, we’ll also hear from Geraldo Rivera, who’s been talking with miner’s families in West Virginia.

And, with over 200 alleged safety violations at the sago mine last year, what are the legal implications of this tragedy? We’ll ask Bob Massi, a FOX News legal analyst.

Then, the political corruption investigation in Washington gets interesting after a one-time powerful lobbyist pleads guilty and is naming names. Why some politicians are concerned what lobbyist Jack Abramoff has to say. We’ll have analysis from FOX News political analyst Susan Estrich and radio talk show host Mike Gallagher.
