7:00 am
wind". >> dave: sinatra, a million youtube hits he has. also a record deal and we'll talk about where he'll take it. >> juliett: he's singing at the blue note. a big place in new york city. >> clayton: will my vacation be okay, rick? >> rick: for the fourth time, it is fine, i need to hear it again. >> clayton: thanks for juliett being here, foxnews.com for the "after the show" show. >> eric: a "fox news alert," major developments in the battle for libya, rebel forces saying they are less than 20 miles from the capital of tripoli. and, there are reports that there are cells that were activated inside tripoli by those against muammar qaddafi. that, of course, is the main strong hold and it comes days after rebels retook the city, of zawiya. celebrations breaking out on the streets, and, it could be just
7:01 am
days before we know what muammar qaddafi's fate will be, good morning on this sunday morning, i'm eric sean. >> jamie: i'm jamie colby. good to have you with us, this is america's news headquarters and we understand president obama is getting regular updates on the situation in libya. those rebels, eric was telling you about, 600 fighters set out for zawiya towards the capital of libya and, this is in tripoli and you can hear the gunfire as the rebels claim to have launched the first attack on tripoli with the help from nato and you know tripoli, is where muammar qaddafi's headquarters are, and, meanwhile, qaddafi's government is calling for an immediate cease-fire, saying it holds the u.s., the u.k. and french leaders all responsible for every person killed in the capital. fox news's producers is joining us by phone from tripoli, to tell us about the very latest. what are you seeing and hearing? >> caller: jamie, the chaotic
7:02 am
events in tripoli last night just occurred, and, forces loyal to muammar qaddafi fought gunbattles across the city with sympathizers of the opposition in many districts and from our hotel we could hear the mortars and gunfire, as well as frequent airstrikes, now, the strikes we are told were planned for months and officials in benghazi say, break away groups came into the city, infiltrated and created a lot of chaos last night and they were told it was done with nato cooperation and designed to undermine the rent jeep's hold on t -- regime's hold on the capital and there are casualties on both sides, and... (inaudible) within a relatively short time and it goes to show, they have a lot of influence and support here in the capital and now, the city is quiet, an occasional boom and, bombs are dropping, but nothing like last night and rebels, as you said, aren't wasting time celebrating the recent
7:03 am
victories, and we are told they are headed this way and got within 20 miles of the capital and are meeting stiff resistance on the coastal road. now, reporters are traveling with them, and they say they e aroar aroare buoy ed by the recent victory and the next couple of days will be decisive. >> jamie: they have made progress towards tripoli now for months and this is where they wanted to be. can you put it into perspective and tell us how significant it is that they have reached this location and what type of resources they have with them, and have left in order to accomplish what they hope to, in tripoli? >> caller: as i said earlier, it may have been couordinated because it happened when muslims an libyans were about to break the fast the calls wrang out on the mosques and, the mullahs said go into the streets and rise up and this is the time, the zero hour and it may have
7:04 am
been because zawiya felt it was the trigger for this event, we don't know but, certainly, many think the rebels moved too quickly and acted too early and got a bit of a pounding last night and as i say, the rebels coming towards the city, 20 miles away and, there is talk that it might have been too soon and the fact the rebels are closings in from outside and there are districts within tripoli, holding out against the security forces, it is significant. >> jamie: thank you so much for joining us, from libya with the latest there. this is certainly a developing story and fox will cover every minute of it. thank you so much. eric? >> eric: it appears, of course, qaddafi's days could be numbered, the foreign minister this morning calling for a cease-fire, but he did not indicate what muammar qaddafi would be willing to do, to get one. but, if he falls, who would take over? and could the result be worse
7:05 am
than he had been, john bolton, former u.n. ambassador and fox news contributor, joins us every sunday at this time. good morning. >> good morning. >> eric: a lot of libyans are waking up, saying, whoa, what happened, why is this the zero hour and why are we suddenly now at the tipping point. >> it has not received much publicity, basically none, but, there is every indication that this combined offensive by the rebels from the east to the west and the south was planned and heavily influenced by nato. and, that the advance of the rebel forces has been prepared day by day, by heavy nato bombardment and now we see it coming back again in tripoli, so, that raises the question, if nato could be so effective as we always knew at least hoped it would be, why have we waited five or sick months to gx month under way, number one and number 2, the fall of qaddafi, if it
7:06 am
comes in the next few days was only partially due to the rebels and that indicates potential trouble ahead, without nato's guidance will be difficult to see if the rebels can hold their alliance together and the recent assassination of general eunis, chief of staff, a defector from the qaddafi government remains an unsolved mystery and the future once he goeses is unclear. >> eric: you predict, potentially there could be chaos within the national transition council? >> i think it is distinctly possible. look, i favored getting rid of qaddafi from the beginning of this but it is always a two part maneuver, first get rid of the incumbent and, second, replace him with somebody who would be favorable towards us and towards the west in general and unfortunately, in the past five to sick months, there has been precious little activity by the u.s. or other nato members, really to prepare the way for that.
7:07 am
so i think whatever efforts are underway now, are hopefully not too little, too late but i think we are at risk, number one, of chaos and, number 2, of the wrong elements taking control. >> eric: that, assumes that he will leave and what do you think he'll do? you dealt with his regime for years and they did have some sense back in the early part of 2,000s when they gave up, the weapons of mass destruction and the other times, he seems like he is nuts. >> the regime is shattering, no doubt and including some people i negotiated with to get rid of the nuclear weapons program and all of which shows, again if we wakted-- acted swiftly five months ago, it might be over and, for what it is worth, my opinion is he'll leave when they carry him out feet first and if he dies and his son is killed or others in his regime, a lot of the animosity we see in the military conflict is really
7:08 am
tribal and regional and will persist after he goes and that is another complicating factor to add in, even if the rebels take control. >> eric: you think he's going out in a box, he'll either be killed or -- once they get their hands on him, it is over? >> a prediction subject to empirical verification but i don't see him leaving, i don't think he'd feel safe against the criminal court indictment and has ruled libya 40-plus years and will go down with what is left of his troops. >> eric: u.s. ambassador, john bolton, thanks and always great to see you every sunday here on the fox news channel. jamie? >> jamie: president obama defending his performance on the economy and the debt crisis, saying he's aware that americans are frustrated and admitting things are not improving as fast as he'd like and here's more of what the president said earlier today, on cbs sunday morning. >> president barack obama: what it says is i'm the president of
7:09 am
the united states and when people are not happy with what is happening in washington, i'm going to be impacted, just like congress is. and, you know, i completely understand that. we expected that and that frustrates people and you have an unemployment rate that is still too high and an economy not growing fast enough and, for me to argue, look, we have actually made the right decisions, things would have been much worse had we not made those decisions, that is not that satisfying if you don't have a job now and i understand that. and i expect to be judged, a year from now, on whether or not things would continue to get better. >> jamie: imagine how things might have been if i hadn't been in the white house, is that what we'll be hearing again from the president? as he hits the campaign trail for re-election? the president's handling of the economy and the debt ceiling are some issues that are angering liberals. there is new concerns, too, the president needs to shore up his base, ahead of the election. what does he need to do exactly? the editor of "campaign and
7:10 am
elections magazine", and joins us now. good morning. >> thank you for having me. >> jamie: how secure does the president feel about his base? >> there is definitely concern. whether it is more a question of support or enthusiasm, i think is sort of ultimately what we're going to see develop the next year. i think with the last of the democratic party, if these folks who supported president obama in such large numbers, sith such enthusiasm in '08 are not sufficiently mobilized and energized for 2012, you could potentially see a problem, it is not a matter of folks on the left, i think, migrating to whoever the republican nominee is, that is highly unlikely. but, will they hit the ground and knock on the doors for the president with such enthusiasm next year as in '08? it could be an open question. >> jamie: that is interesting you bring that up, you not only
7:11 am
need endorsement of organizations, you need the individual citizens willing to go out and canvas their neighborhoods. also, you mentioned when you mentioned the liberal base, and, that the president will claim, i'm sure that he has done certain things that should please them, like don't ask, don't tell and if you think the debt ceiling debate didn't go your way, imagine if i hadn't gotten at least what i got, but you have congresswoman maxine waters saying the jobs numbers that are dismal, are, quote, unconscionable and hispanic voters that filed a formal petition with the obama administration, for deportation. how critical are groups those people attract. >> the african-american vote, in terms of the enthusiasm level there, and, the percentage of turnout, is obviously key for president obama. in any number of swing states to pad his vote totals and if you
7:12 am
are talking about hispanic voters, that is an entirely different equations but, also, for president obama, he spent enormous amounts of time courting the constituency and not only in 2008 but since he has been in the white house and any cracks in the president's base, are going to be great concerns to the white house. and i think you will see a lot of sort of trying to shore these folks up. and shore those votes up as we head into 2012. and i think you have already seen some of that, with what we have heard from the president on immigration reform in the past week. >> jamie: let me ask you the money question, it is estimated, president obama will raise a billion dollars for a re-election campaign and it may cost that much to get everything you are saying get done, in this economy, if there are that many disaffected democrats, how realistic is it he can raise what he needs. >> it's certainly much harder. the question, really, is, when you look at what happened in
7:13 am
2010, with these outside groups, that formed on the right, we are going to see the same thing now in 2012 with the number of outside groups that formed on the left, specifically, to support president obama's reelect and to support house and senate democrats. so, a lot of money is going to be fund into groups on the democratic side in 2012, that quite frankly didn't exist a few months ago. so, how much money those groups can actually raise, and how much impact they could have, i think that could potentially be the equalizer. but, i don't think there is any doubt president obama will raise a heck of a lot of money, will it meet their expectations? we have to wait and see. >> jamie: they threw out the number pretty early on, shane, nice to meet you, the editor of "campaign and election" magazine, come back and keep us posted. >> thanks for having me. >> jamie: eric? >> eric: as the president indicated the economy will be front and center when he runs for re-election, next year and now, there are new fears we may
7:14 am
be headed towards a second recession. look at the dow's performance, this week alone. the 4th week of losses on wall street. while we have been officially out of a recession, they say, for two years now, the giants morgan stanley warned this week the u.s. is dangerously close, they say, to a double dip. fox business network's brenda buttner is live to break it down, they say we are stronger than 2008 and the dow jones down 400 points and unemployment 9.1%, how will we know if we're in a seconds recession? >> well, technically, a recession is two consecutive quarters of contraction in the gross domestic product. but, basically, what you have to think about is how people are feeling. and, people are having a tough time. unemployment is stubbornly high. we cannot get below 9%. and the other problem is, gross domestic product, which is basically all the goods and
7:15 am
services that a nation produces, is very, very low. the first quarter of this year, it was below a half percent, near 3%, for the second quarter, and those are not the kind of numbers that we need to get us out and get us into a recovery. so, the question may not be, just, are we headed for a recession but, you know, what kind of recovery is this? a jobless one? people cannot find jobs and until they can find jobs they cannot spend more, although, spending is a little bit higher. but, there are some positives out there, as well, profits seem to be doing well. and, of course that is on the back of those who have been unemployed. most companies cut costs to get those kind of profits, but they do have cash. interest rates have never been this low. so, you know, there are some positives out there. but, a lot of economists are saying there is not going to be a recovery coming, we're going down again. >> eric: you mentioned the
7:16 am
interest rates, are low and that is a positive sign however, we are shifting into third gear, but we are slowing down and last year, a 3.9% predicted growth and now 0.04%, do you expect a double dip? >> i have to. i worry about it. unemployment is the key here and we are getting no income growth. prices are rising, that is about the only thing that has been rising and people can't get jobs and plus they were unemployed so long they are running out of benefits. so, the spending itself, which is the driver of our economy will be difficult to find and if companies are not spending, if, indeed, they continue to cut, as we saw in many companies last week, bank of america, just one of them, it will be difficult to come out of this. now, usually you see some sort of a recovery as you get closer
7:17 am
to an election. especially when democrats are in control of the white house, because they want to see, they basically want people to feel good and it is usually the economy, stupid and i think it will be this year as well, but i'm not clear we'll be in any kind of a recovery. >> eric: the president plans to unveil his new plan after his martha's vineyard vacation in september. >> we'll all be listening to that. >> eric: thanks, brenda. jamie? >> jamie: a "fox news alert," out of the middle east. a fourth consecutive day of lengthless shelling on southern israel, militants in hamas ruled gaza strip are trading fire and one person at least is dead and a dozen others critically injured. leland vittert is live on the ground in a town severely hit hours ago. what is the latest? >> reporter: the issue here is, there's a saying in israel, the
7:18 am
only thing we need to start a war is for a rocket to hit a school and that is exactly what happened, i'm at the top of a school gymnasium and you can see the damage from the rocket and if we walk down you can see where it went through and went through the roof, down into the gymnasium and you can man how many casualties there were had school been in session and thankfully, they are still on summer break but they've been trading these volleys of fire and it was not a good scene last night. the warning sirens went off just as people in the neighborhood were breaking the sabbath and you can see, where the ground missile came in, this was destroyed and you can see what it did to the side of the house there. these are truly weapons of terror, destruction and killing, as random as it is instantaneous and they have razor-sharp
7:19 am
shrapnel, but inside gaza, where they make these, they've taken some of the technology they've used for suicide vests and pack these missiles with ball bearings, so as it explodes, this is what goes out and the man who died in the attack was standing where i am. and with its say he was actually lifted off the ground, by the force of the explosion and he was doing what you are supposed to do, taking cover behind the wall and you can see what it did to the wall, an d i incredible amount of damage, one ball-bearing, pulverized this area here and that happened to the man who was killed. >> i checked for pulse, couldn't find the pulse, and, i decided, there was another guy, who was quite obviously conscious and i had to make' decision. >> the people in the house were able to take cover and were they in the kitchens, you can see what would have happened, the refrigerator torn apart by the shrapnel, as they headed up the
7:20 am
stairs they would have been cut down by the same shrapnel coming in. since this morning when the school was attacked and the israeli air force bombed one rocket team, they said was preparing to fire a rocket, things have been calm and the israelis made a point of showing restrain restraint and they were trying to end the violence, before the israeli school year starts we are waiting to see whether there are more rocket attacks or whether everybody calls it a day and goes home, jamie, back to you. >> jamie: leland vittert, live for us, thanks. >> eric: what is going on at sporting events? let's look at the latest, it happened in san francisco. fans from two teams fighting it out during a game and the violence continued outside the stadium and when it was over, shots had been fired. and coming up, karl rove offering the latest on the record of the obama administration. and the promise, he says, the

7:24 am
>> jamie: welcome back, a former white house senior advisor taking a look at the political
7:25 am
landscape ahead for all of us in the 2012 election. former president bush advisor karl rove speaking on fox news sunday, about president obama and how he is hang the economy. >> when the president passed the stimulus bill he said unemployment by this time would be 6% and, 5 million more people would be working, nearly 5 million more people work working today than are working and the president's approval rating this week integr gallup on the econos 26% and this is the 7th or 8th or 9th time we've heard him talk of producing a plan and each time he has gotten around to tossing an idea onto the table it has included more spending, defenda deficit and debt and the american people are fed up with it. >> jamie: joining us, is bret baier, filling in for chris wallace on fox news sunday. >> good morning to you. >> jamie: when you talked to karl rove, the president also
7:26 am
finger-pointed to congress saying things are not happening because of them and does karl rove have a feeling the president could resolve some of these issues? >> i don't think so, judging by what karl said, and also fleeon program, bill burton, and both men head up significant groups that, on either side of the ideological spectrum are trying to raise money to elect republicans and democrats on the other side. and, burton saying that the president has been halted by congress since the election in 2010 and there were a lot of fireworks in fox news sunday, you'll see at 2:00 p.m. eastern time if you missed it this morning between rove and burton on the issue of the president's handling of the economy. clearly, the polls are showing that there is a lot of concern and whether the president can turn that around with a speech or plan after he gets back from vacation on martha's vineyard is
7:27 am
yet to be seen and that is what the head-to-head was about. >> jamie: do you get a sense from burton when the president will be in full re-election campaign mode? >> well, jamie, i think there are a lot of people around this town and the country who believe he's already there. the midwestern bus tour arguably wouldn't have happened most analysts believe if he wasn't in the position he is now, in the policies, and dipping into 39% in the gallup daily tracking poll a couple times over the past couple of weeks, clearly the administration believes he is better on the stufrnmp, withe folks outside of washington and gets fired up and feels better and a part of that is re-election and you cannot deny that. >> jamie: talk about fair and balanced, it will be fascinating to hear both sides, i bet there were fireworks and you also have a special report tonight, i hope everyone will take the time to watch. about... and with former vice president dick cheney, here he
7:28 am
is in the one-on-one and we'll give a little clip, speaking with president george w. bush, bet's interview with the former president about dick cheney. >> as the 2004 election approached, cheney was willing to do more than take a back seat. he was willing to step aside, for a new running mate. >> he offered to step down in 2004. >> he did. i was impressed that the vice president, during the election would say, if you think you can strengthen the ticket, i will move on, no hard feelings. >> it was a noble gesture on his part. >> every vice president ought to do that for the president. >> you gave it thought. >> yes, absolutely, i thought about it and decided, no, didn't make any sense. >> jamie: bret you sat down with the people that were closest to dick cheney. did you learn anything about him that you didn't already know? >> i spent, well, about a decade
7:29 am
covering the vice president, covering the white house and traveling with him around the world. and i learned a lot over that time and this special digs into talking to folks and their stories about the former vice president and, defense secretary donald rumsfeld, the chest to him and secretary of state condoleezza rice who had the most fights with him in the white house and david addington, who never has done a lot of interviews about the vice president, the counsel to vice president cheney and of course, former president bush and we talked to a lot of folks around him and it started months ago with the documentary unit and we put together an hour, and this is before his book launch came out, and, it kind of timed out and, we have a lot of interesting facts and a lot of interesting stories and anecdotes from people who worked with him for a long time. >> jamie: a lot of us are excited to see it. bret, thanks for joining us, this morning. to tell us about that. and, a fiery fox news sunday.
7:30 am

♪ >> jamie: you wait all week and it is time now for "sunday house call." with us, "sunday house call" host, dr. isadore rosenfeld, the rossi distinguished professor of clinical medicine at the wild cornell smell center. doc, good morning. great to see you, thanks for coming in. let me start off, a new study out this week indicates sleeping the patterns may be linked to memory problems and dementia. and the study actually came from researchers at the university of california, at san francisco and they found older women with sleep apnea are more likely to
7:35 am
develop dementia. so let's talk about the link. why? >> well it has to do with the nutrition to the brain, and, people who have sleep apnea are not nourishing their brain as well as people who don't have sleep apnea and, after a period of time, in older people, the presence of sleep apnea results in memory impairment. what you... if you or your roommate notices or are aware that your sleep pattern is not right, you should really get a sleep study. in virtually every large institution, hospital, so on, they have sleep centers who can -- where they can identify the nature of your sleep problem and advise you as to how to correct it. >> jamie: you said women, though. women more than men? >> apparently in the study, is
7:36 am
women more than men but i think it affects everybody. if you look at me, i didn't sleep last night and i don't know what i'm talking about today! >> jamie: so far, so good, doc, you've got it together. >> eric: and a study has to do with memory loss, a lot of research shows that lifestyle factors can actually reduce the risk of alzheimer's disease. and, you may remember, if you saw last week, he told us how daily exercise can help with that but now a sweeping review of research that shows that actually moderate drinking can slash the risk of developing alzheimer's. they claim, so, doctor, what is considered moderate and what type of alcohol are you talking about and why didn't moderate drinking reduce alzheimer's. >> alcohol is nutritional. for people who are addicted and are alcoholics, we are not talking about those. but for men and women who enjoy an occasional drink, one or two ounces a day, that in some way
7:37 am
improves their memory. it may dilate the brain vessels, it is nutritional. but, the problem is, when somebody listens to me say this, and have never taken alcohol before, i don't want them to say, i'm going to start drinking now, because that is going to improve my memory. but, moderate alcohol, is nutritional. it is relaxing, and, i think if you drink moderately, you should know that that improves your memory. >> eric: we've heard of the benefits of red wine. >> that is very prominent and, it is like everything else. you know? even exercise, which is good for you, you can do too much. weight loss, you can lose too much. everything in moderation. and that includes drinking. >> eric: when you say one or two ounces, you are talking about one glass. >> one, a couple glasses a day of wine.
7:38 am
it relaxes you, it is good for you, nutritional, and, it improves your memory. over the long term. >> jamie: watch the calories, though, doc. anyway, you are talking about what to eat and what to drink and we want to you say heart healthy and you may want to kid adding more potassium rich foods to your diet. so, doc, what foods are you thinking? >> basically, we're talking about fruits and vegetables. there is no question, that fruits and vegetables taken on a regular basis are very good for your circulation, and, especially, to your brain, and there are studies that show that people who take vegetables regularly, have a lower incidence of stroke. >> jamie: the only potassium rich food i know of are bananas. >> that is good. they are very good. can't carry them with you, you know... they are great. >> eric: all right, doctor, did
7:39 am
your mom ever warn you when you were a kid don't sit close to the tv set, you can ruin your eyes? straight ahead we'll find out if that is true. remember that? plus, what is going on? i mean, there are sporting events and fights breaking out all over the place, the latest at an nfl pre-season game and it wasn't the worst of it, wait until you hear what happened after the game. is it a pattern? why is it happening? kim and james are what you might call overly protective. especially behind the wheel. nothing wrong with that. in fact, allstate gives them a bonus -- twice a year -- for being safe drivers. dollar for dollar, nobody protects you like allstate. a network of possibilities. in here, the planned combination of at&t and t-mobile would deliver our next generation mobile broadband experience to 55 million more amecans, many in small towns and rural communities, giving them a new choice. we'll deliver better service, with thousands of new cell sites...

8:02 am
president obama updated as the days unfold. anti-regime protests are erupting in several neighborhoods as rebel cells have been activated inside the capital to fight gadhafi forces. heavy machine gunfire and explosions ringing out and reports of snipers firing on civilians. right now we do not know where muammar gadhafi is. his regime is demanding a cease-fire and lashing out at nato and rebels. dominic di natale is streaming live in one nation where gadhafi could end up if he leaves, unless killed. what is the latest? >> reporter: eric, we were speaking to a rebel leader, saying it could be hours. he believes we were 72 hours away from the fall of colonel gadhafi after 40 years ofñqb dictatorship. he told us the rebels had
8:03 am
between 12 and 15,000 troops waiting for a final push on the city close as 15 miles#p outside. in recent hours we heard they are making closer moves towards the center where the libyan army is pro ing we believe gadhafi as he remains defiant in the center of the capital. -- however, overnight fresh nato airstrikes combined with coordinate attack on certain libyan -- neighborhoods. casualties on both sides. no indication what the numbers were. they managed to capture a town which is a key oil refinery town on the coast, and a city to the east that means the capital is surrounded on the eastside, westside and southside. which means there is now pressure on those libyan troops in the center of the city.
8:04 am
there is a small element to the west of libya near the border that seems to be under government forces control expected to fall within the next 48 to 72 hours. if tripoli falls then gadhafi falls. no one knows where he is now. there was talk last night that he escaped the country and had come to tunisia. a convoy of 15 land cruisers spotted were the defections of the oil minister, the third top government official, top supporter to defect and abandon gadhafi in the past week. we are hearing that there was a disruption among the civil service protest there is people ready to resign. they've managed to negotiate with the rebel leaders to stay on running ministries and various government departments. so the moment gadhafi does fall there will be a smooth transition. we'll see whether that
8:05 am
happens. the feeling is momentum to the rebels strive forward indeed they are expecting some form of final push on the capital in the coming hours. whether that will oust gadhafi once and for all, we'll see. >> eric: we'll stay on it. dominic, thanks so much. >> jamie: if gadhafi goes he wouldn't be the first to be, mubarak, tunisia's president saddam hussein ousted before being put to death in 2003. also the president of romania was removed after 24 years in power. as well as the shah of iran and emperor of ethiopia. >> eric: battle of libya putting new focus on the con have you beened mastermind of the pan am 103 womb --
8:06 am
bombing. two senators that the man convicted of blowing up the pan am flight over lockerbie scotland. that killed 270 people. many students coming back to the united states from their time in london. many in the new york area. he was released two years ago. when doctors said he had prostate cancer and only three months to live. guess what? he's still alive. reportedly was spotted at a pro-gadhafi rally in tripoli last month. >> jamie: president obama right now is working through his trip to martha's vineyard hammering out a new jobs' plan he will unveil to the nation next month. caroline shively with more on that the president presents his jobs' plan everybody is waiting to hear what it is once congress returns after labor day. >> you think they can get
8:07 am
anything done? >> reporter: the president says yes. even after his bargain with john boehner sunk. listen to the president speaking to cbs. >> the president: i absolutely can do business with him. the issue is not whether i can do business with john boehner. the issue is whether we are able to come to an agreement can he sell it among his fellow republicans inside the house of representatives. so far that has proven to be difficult. >> reporter: he took a swipe at congress saying there have been times we congress was dysfunctional, full of vitriol and politics so this isn't unique to our time. >> jamie: has he responded to his approval ratings, especially on the economy? >> reporter: he did. he says his numbers are a reflection of the people's unhappiness with washington as a hole. last week it deposited -- a whole. last week it dropped to below 40%. >> the president's approval
8:08 am
rating this week gallup on economy is 26%. there's a reason why. his policies have fail this is the 7th, 8th, 9th time we've heard him talking about a plan. each time he tossed an idea out it has included only more spending, more deficit, more debt and the american people are fed up with it. >> reporter: critics question whether the president should be taking a a vacation right now. his aides point out he travels with a full working white house. >> eric: a lot of jitters about the economy many wall street taking everybody on a rollercoaster ride last week. fears of a potential double dip recession. how does this change the landscape of 2012? gretchen hammel and ryan clayton. gretchen, let me start with
8:09 am
you. if we get a recession, a double dip. is it curtains for the president's reelection? >> i my it is going to be more than the president in trouble. i think republicans and democrats alike. if this economy continues to lag we will see another change election like the past two cycles. >> eric: people want something done. they hear promises. they saw the stimulus package. they saw the plan that was passed a few weeks ago. they want action. they want results. >> they do. they want action, results. they want congress to work together, republicans and democrats to produce economic policies that get businesses investing beginning. right now businesses holding on to a lot of cash. because of the uncertainy. they need to be investing those dollars in their companies and hiring people. until washington can restore certainty and put economic policies in place that do that, we will continue to have an economy that lags.
8:10 am
>> eric: what is it going to take for washington to restore certainty? gretchen? >> i think it will take them putting together policies to reducing spending. to not talking about a lot of different tax increases that they are talking about. i think revenues should be on the table. there are a lot of tax loopholes that we can close. free trade agreements they need to pass so american businesses can sell goods and products to other countries outside this border without tariffs. >> eric: ryan what the chances of that happening? >> american votes know who is to blame for the tea party recession. they are never going to forget who held our economy hostage. like john boehner, eric cantor and paul ryan, they played politics with -- just to make -- played politics just to make a point. what they did was they crashed our economy. now they are going to be held
8:11 am
accountable. american voters will never forget who is responsible and never forgive them for it. >> eric: they blame president obama that he's responsible because he's in the man in the oval office. >> what president obama did was stand up to the extreme elements in the republican party and struck a bipartisan compromise what he needs to do now is focus on putting americans back to work and rebuilding the middle class. the only way fix our deficit problems is putting americans back to work a jobs program. >> eric: the chances of that jobs program passing? >> if republicans in the house decided to start working with the president rather than against him and stop catering to the extreme almosts in the party we are all going to keep getting burned if they keep doing that. they need to silence the extremists. we have to work to the. republicans and democrats and independents, to accomplish that. >> eric: gretchen fire of the tea party caucus. explosive words.
8:12 am
others say the tea party is trying to deal with the debt. >> ryan always uses that rhetoric that drives that wedge between republicans and democrats. his comments are not helpful. they are fueling the fire of what is going on in washington. not doing anything to help have a constructive conversation. he says he wants a constructive conversation then he uses those words again the tea party and everyone else. the tea party he should do pr for them. the issues they raise are concerns across the board%with all americans. if you talk about the deficit, democrats, republicans, independents, across the board are concerned. it is not just the tea party issue. >> eric: finally, you have the president with his speech after he returns from his vacation. ryan, what do you expect he will say? >> instead of listening to the tea party extremists he hope he's listening to people like warren buffet who says you
8:13 am
have to raise revenue to run a government. we need to take the money from wall street that they've horded close those tax loopholes start taxing the rich and make them pay their fair share. >> eric: what number is the rich? >> the top 2% of americans pay less taxes and the rest of us combined. buffet says he pays less than his secretary does and he's a multi-billionaire. is that fairness in america? i don't think most americans think it is. >> eric: that will have to be the last word. we'll what the president says in september. again, ryan, thanks. -- gretchen, ryan, thanks. could there be new hope for the two jailed in iran. iranian authorities arrested them on the border. that happened in 2009. they were charged with illegal entry and espionage. now they've been sentenced yesterday to eight years in
8:14 am
prison. their lawyer is promising a full appeal. could this latest move give them the shot they need at being released? former spokesman for the last four u.s. ambassadors to the united nations. thanks for joining us. >> thanks. >> jamie: we don't know the jails of why they were there. we know what they were charged with. did you hear -- hear specific facts that went into the finding of their guilt? >> it is a good question. i don't think that they are admitting much. that could be a strategic mistake. first, as an american citizen, i can't imagine what josh and shane's families are going through everyday thinking about their sons, loved ones, brother, in an iranian prison. its got to be a terrible process. as a former diplomat, i have to say there's a glimmer of hope. now the iranian courts have
8:15 am
decided and sentenced these two, they should admit they entered the country illegally. the facts will they ended the country illegally. maybe they were completely innocent and didn't understand where the border was, i'll give you that. but i don't think that you can argue with the fact that they entered the country illegally. certainly if had people from iran enter our country illegally, we would say the taxes show that >> jamie: i'm not sure what we would do about it. millions enter illegally and we don't deport them let alone put them in prison for all this period of time. they were convicted of spying. we haven't learned anything other than the fact there was an unmarked entry on the border that they've crossed. what can be done right now? their lawyer from iran, says he will appeal. generally, from what i've seen in research, appeals there do at least lighten the sentence.
8:16 am
i agree with you about the families. what can be done? what options do you think are available? >> well, on the espionage they should fight back, absolutely say this is ridiculous. i think the iranian government knows that these three young college kids are not who the cia would send into iran. we're not that dumb and the iranians are not that dumb, they understand that fully. i think you appeal that and strongly. i would suspect now that the courts have found and again through this process, that now the political process can take over. and the families should be not going through the u.s. government, but directly to the iranian government via the swiss or someone else. the attorney inside. >> jamie: it makes sense. thn't know what they with th couldn't appeal fully. with your period of time tease, is there a bigger -- with your expertise is there a bigger
8:17 am
issue s the iranian government doing this get the attention of the u.s. to have the u.s. back off their supposed innocent nuke deal? >> i don't think so. i don't think the iranians are going to treat this issue in conjunction with the nuclear weapons issue, the illegal nuclear weapons issue they are pursuing. i think the u.s. government is right to not bring this issue to the forefront. they are two issues. the u.s. government if they are going to talk to the iranians in some sort of conversation with a group of people, they are not going to talk about the hikers, they shouldn't. that is not the priority issue. i think the glimmer of hope is now the courts have issued their verdict the political process will take over. i suspect the politicians in iran will commute the sentence or free them. i bet they will be home by the end of the year. they need to push back. and they need to say that we are not spies. we ununequivocally not part of
8:18 am
any espionage ring. they should admit -- admit they entered the country illegally and say we don't know where the border was that would give the eye wrap -- iranian government and the political leaders the ability to be the heroes. we've seen time and time again the iranians will cut a deal. when they push back on an appeal process that now the time is right for the iranians to come in and give some goodwill. >> jamie: i have to leave it there. we hope you're right. we would love for them all to come home. sarah showered must be sad about this as well. -- >> thanks jamie. fox extreme weather alert. reports of a possible tornado in georgia. severe winds tearing through roofs like tin foil knocking trees to the ground.

8:27 am
will a loaner consider you? what can we do to get their attention? >> actually, that's something that has not been reported well either. yes, you can. there are programs out there, federal s that will allow you to go to 125% of the value of the property. they will let you exceed what you owe. fannie mae has to own that loan. that is a little restriction, but yes. most people, you make a great point, they are underwater, they can't either sell, write a giant check to leave or in some cases can refinance. it is kind of clogging up the market a bit. >> sounds like it is worth shopping around. what if if you are not secure about your job, which many are in that situation now. certainly if you don't have one it is tougher. what do you tell the lender when you are applying if you know in the text month you might lose your job. are you on -- in the next month, you might lose your
8:28 am

8:37 am
ira, they are going to review on a case-by-case basis, 300,000 people in deportation proceedings. if you don't have a criminal record, you get to stay. what do you think? >> this is amnesty. the administration is making immigration policy. under our constitution, it is congress that legislates policy. the administration's job to carry out those laws, whether they like those laws or not. what this administration has said, we done like the laws congress has passed. we are going to decide that everybody in this country here illegal but has not committed a crime is going to be eligible to stay in addition to withholding deportation. the administration is going to grant work authorization to people who have cases dropped. and over time to people who never had cases initiated. this is more allowing them to stay and not deporting them in is granting them legal status

8:39 am
it is not amnesty they are doing something under the law. >> they are not doing something under the law. the fact of the matter is, congress did not pass the dream act. they've not passed amnesty because the american public has been opposed. just because the president would like for them to have passed it doesn't mean he can act as they they have. these trampling on the constitution, wielding dictatorial powers. he does not have the this authority. congress makes the law. the president can't decide that -- this is not about priorities. every police department in the country exercises priorities they go after the dangerous criminals. they also go after people who committed lesser offenses. >> eric: francisco, i hear you trying to pipe up. >> if congress and the
8:40 am
american people are so outraged they can pass legislation to undo what the president is doing. the fact of the matter they don't have the courage to take on the issue neither the republicans nor the democrats. it is a no-brainer to pass the dream act to help children who want to go to school and serve in the military. let's get started with that. every one of my friends on the left and right agree on that so let's start moving. >> everyone doesn't agree. the dream act was proposed in 2000, it still has not passed. er we are out of time. the debate continues. they are reviewing those cases one by one, they have 300,000, thanks for joining us. >> jamie: new twist in the concern that social security will be broke. why it is happening and what i means for you. we'll be right back. just one phillips' colon health probiotic cap a day

votes of winning the iowa straw poll, some are saying he's being ignored by the mainstream media. is he? liz trotta joins us with her commentary. >> good morning. >> eric: is he being shortchanged? >> yeah. what is so fascinating is all week the big story on ron paul has been that he's being ignored. a being ignored story is the most publicity he's gotten since the beginning of this. poor ron paul. even in mainstream media, has a sort of slight reservation. i wonder if this guy is more interesting than we thought? especially since they see to it as a top tier candidate, rick perry and michelle bachmann copycatting his position on the federal reserve. a very lively columnist from the chicago tribune had this to say:
8:57 am
paul loaths government more than i do: >> it is in the chicago trib boon. it is a question of that -- that sort of shakey nexus between journalism and politics has sort of imposed their own narrative as usual on the campaign. they did early. and they decided that paul just doesn't have it. he's not going to be a winner. so why don't we move on to our version of the campaign. >> eric: fascinating. the pew research center said that he had 27 stories and donald trump who is not even running, we guess, had 94. >> that's right. >> almost three times as many stories. then ap comes out and says,
