the fiery crash quickly spread gave for the last few years. to nearby brush and is now now we're saying go to the dollar store because buying in burning more than 150 acres. bulk still costs you and nobody has that cash. dozens of homes have been evacuated and at least one >> juliet: let's move on. >> pet food. already has burned to the some people say cosmetics, ground. a scary ride for passengers on apparel. the dog doesn't care where you board a united express flight traveling from chicago to got it. it's cheaper, especially when canada. you get some of the bigger terrified flyers screamed as the sizes. >> juliet: it's not expired? plane skidded off a wet runway >> it's not expired. so this can was a lot cheaper while landing at ottawa than a can of the smaller size international airport. thankfully, all 44 passengers at a grocery store. got off the aircraft safely. >> juliet: toilet paper? >> this is the exact same the plane suffered substantial damage to the undercarriage and product. this throws people off. a wing leaked fuel. we saw it for -- here you see extreme weather alert now, fast dollar store, $4. moving wildfires whipping across wal-mart, this is their texas burning thousands of acres signature move, 3.98. fueled in part by the winds from i asked the floor manager, do tropical storm lee. dozens of homes have been you price match? he said we literally have an employee who goes around to the destroyed. at least two people were killed dollar stores to check to see when they couldn't escape their and comes back and prices home in time. t everything at 98 or 96, just the largest of the fires is changes the last couple of numbers. southeast of austin where more so they're very aware of this than 1,000 homes have been evacuated and those are the trend. >> juliet: these are the bad things. >> not necessarily.

later, that's an asset. even if you don't have experience in washington. >> when i saw this last night, you took the words out of my mouth exactly the same thing. he doesn't have any governing experience and now it seems that's a liability, being a governor. so yesterday, mitt romney at this tea party rally basically saying he's not a political guy. and he doesn't have -- and he's down playing any of that political experience. take a listen to him. >> i haven't spent my whole life in politics. as a matter of fact, of the people running for office, you know, i don't know that there are many who have less years in politics than me. there's another way to minimize i spent four years as the litter box odor: purina tidy cats. governor. i joke that i didn't inhale. ti cats premium line of litters now works harder and i happened to believe that career politicians got us into this mess and the career to help neutralize odors in multiple-cat homes. politicians can't get us out of and our improved formula also helps eliminate dust. this mess. it will take someone who so it's easier than ever to keep your house understands how the private smelling just the way you want it. economy works because he's purina tidy cats. keep your home smelling like home. worked in the private economy. >> did you hear that? mitt romney is not a career politician. >> he clearly is not.

he's spent the majority of his life in the private sector. does this bring in rick perry and michelle bachmann? rick perry has been a politician since 1985. is he finally beginning to say i'm distancing myself from rick perry? >> people are conflicted about that. on one hand, they don't want the career politician, he's got the cronyism and all that business and rick perry has been accused of that. but by the same token, you want somebody who has experience and knows the inner mechanisms of washington in some ways. let us know what you think. you saw mitt romney was at the tea party express rally in new hampshire and there was concern at least from the romney camp >> welcome back on this monday morning, it's labor day. that there would be a lot of hard to keep track on the protesters showing up there. holiday weekend. that's steve in for steve doocy. there's about 25 protesters, they sat in the back and they gretchen carlson is out. were quiet except for some who that means juliette huddy is clapped. >> yeah. here. yesterday, we had some of the brian kilmeade is out. members of the tea party so i'm clayton morris. they're all out. discussing that -- he was going >> juliet: and they'll be back to be and they were running this tomorrow. >> i'm glad you started your holiday with us. counter protest outside and some do any of you have those lottery showed up inside the rally and office pools that you pay into

mitt supporters went to the and split all the winnings if front of the group and clapped you win? there is a man in ohio who is and drowned them out and the 25 paying into his office lottery were in the back. pool for eight years. it was kind of a fizzle. then he hurt his back. wasn't much of a protest at all. he missed two months of work and >> romney is doing better than he missed the pay in and yeah, people thought originally with that tea party. the field begins to separate it appears he's going to mace the payout. itself, obviously, this week at they won $99 million and he wants his share. the big debate on wednesday >> juliet: so he's suing these night. on sunday, michelle bachmann people. he wants his share. let's see what you have to say. started to give us a hint of where she's headed in terms of sheryl from south carolina trying to get back in this thing e-mails us, if he had only been a couple of days, but out for a after her quick bounce was basically wiped off the map. couple months, he should have been contributing. hope it costs him a bunch in the >> she we want from double digits to single digits now. lawsuit and the losses. i'm so with you on this one. >> here's what she said on the >> and he loses. sunday show. >> this is a marathon, not a helps him to lose the lawsuit and he'll have to pay out more money. jim in west virginia writes us, sprint. and i'm very confident that i'm an unemployed construction foreman. we're doing all the right things i've had many good men and women to be the republican nominee. working for me over the years. >> there she is basically saying it's a long, long marathon, not if i had won many millions of dollars, i would not have the just a sprint which is accurate heart to thumb my nose at them and walk away. right now but we're beginning to see to dave's point the sort of >> but maybe they were going to do something. shaping up of how things are going to unfold, i think, on we don't know. >> we don't know how that worked out and whether he was initially this debate on wednesday. and putting herself out there. a lawsuit or whether they she says she's not concerned finally rejected him. with the surge in the polls by

it is interesting. rick perry and look, it's still one more tweet, you don't pay, you don't play. -- remember -- think about howard dean. evidently he wasn't meant to >> i can't wait until this win. he was the reason they didn't debate. >> howard dean was a win sooner. frontrunner. a lot of these office pools have remember the front page of the magazines with howard dean on the front cover back then. rules. strict rules laid out to where whoen if you do miss a day or two or whatever, you have to have rules and this is why. who ended up winning? >> i think we did this one time. >> will perry be able to stand there was a lottery and we up to all the reporters' questions. all -- a bunch decided we'll put feeling is he will be definitely a dollar up or whatever. the one -- the lightning rod there and you have mitt romney, >> but our rules was where you had to text a photo of the numbers you purchased to prove will he stay in the witness you not only paid your way in, protection program, as his opponents say. but here are the numbers. bachmann, how she's going to react. what are you going to say? >> very advanced. you look poised to say another tweet here, he says, no something. i'm trying to have your back as sharing. that falls under the category of well. >> we're going to talk about too bad, so sad. this. yesterday morning, chris wallace didn't play, can't share the predicted this might make headlines here on our show from winning. >> juliet: tough viewers out there. >> would you share it? "fox news sunday" his interview >> i don't know. >> juliet: i think i would have done exactly what you said. with vice president dick cheney. i probably would have given the guy a little money. he said this might stir the pot a little bit. if it was going on for eight you might hear more about this. years and it was an understood, this is what he does every day, what vice president dick cheney this is the thing, he was out thinks the united states might for a couple of months. look this morning if hillary couple months is sort of a long

clinton was elected president as period of time, in my opinion. opposed to barack obama. >> i definitely would have shared if there wasn't a lawsuit listen. >> perhaps, she might have been filed first. we would like to hear from him. easier for some of us who are >> call before you filed a critics of the president who work with. lawsuit. >> juliet: maybe we're missing >> why do you say that? part of the story. maybe these folks will let us >> just the sense -- i have a know what the deal is because it sense that she's one of the more seems a little frivolous to me. all right. now your headlines. competent members of the current a party at the home of houston administration. texans defensive end antonio and it would be interesting to smith, turned deadly. speculate about how she might perform if she'd be president. the body of crenshaw, a family >> few months ago, there was quite a bit of speculation as to friend, found floating in the pool next morning. whether or not hillary might decide to run. about 100 guests attended the no chance of that. bash, billed as a, quote, ninja >> no chance. always fun to talk about what mask and speedo party. might have been in politics, you no word on a cause of death. know. coming up, wild weather returns fall play is not suspected. to the northeast. smith and other players at the >> oh. party refuse to comment. i can't believe what i'm just -- new video of a man entering what i'm seeing. >> and a female storm chaser right in the path of the courtroom as her appeals trial resumes after a month long destruction. >> and creating zero jobs over summer recess. her attorneys have been the past months earning him the questioning dna experts who have nickname president zero. raised doubts about the is there anything the president credibility of the evidence that can put on the table on thursday was used to convict her in the night at that big speech that

federal obligations because we're one country and when one part of the country gets affected, whether it's a tornado in joplin, missouri, or a hurricane that affects the eastern seaboard, then we come together as one country and we make sure that everybody gets the help they need. >> juliet: one week after the hurricane, 39,000 homes and businesses along the eastern seaboard still remain without power. and talk about a job hazard. the photo journalist covering a high-speed chase in california. he becomes part of the story, though, when the suspect speeds off in his, the photo journalist's car. that's not the worst of it. with aerizon mobile hotspot, you can connect up to 5 wifi devices to the internet >> oh, my god. oh, my god. my wife and two-month-old kid with lightning-fast verizon 4g lte speed. are in my car. a gaming device. >> juliet: you heard right. carlos rodriguez says he left mp3 pler. his family in his car for a couple minutes to set up the connect any 5 for wifi on the go. shot. when he returned, the suspect get the 4g lte mobile hotst now for only $49.99. was already speeding off. incredibly, rodriguez kept the verizon is the place with the largest selection cameras rolling. eventually his wife and baby of 4g lte devices.

some sort of stimulus spending. has been in the political scene for a while. we don't know the details of it somebody with political yet. but encouraging small experience. maybe they don't. people are a little bit businesses to hire, a government conflicted about that. the fact is he was focusing on incentive to do so. his g.o.p. opponents as opposed will the republican support such a move? to barack obama which is kind of a new trend. >> it goes back to the basic is that what he should be doing? point. the government does not create and we'll start with you. go ahead. >> yeah, you know, the one thing jobs. the government creates the environment through which the that mitt romney needs to do to private sector employers have stop rick perry's momentum is the confidence to hire more just tell republican primary voters that rick perry is a people. what's happening is with that former democrat who endorsed al program that he's suggesting is gore for president. that he's giving very little and that's going to stop him dead in his tracks and the other incentives to these small thing, rick perry's recent book businesses. but on the other hand, he's is a treasure trove of quotable taking away so much in terms of things. he calls the department of creating more barriers to job homeland security unprincipled creation. the avalanche of regulations and he calls social security that's coming out of washington violent and that's not going to is staggering. sit well probably not with seniors in the republican and every single sector across primary. i know it's not going to sit our economy is facing the big well with voters in a general government presence and huge election. >> i think that's exactly what he should not do. government mandates. i think we need to maintain the civility and cordiality because the threat of tax increases that are yet to come is also having a we are all on the same team in dampening factor in terms of new the republican partied and furthermore, i think democrats

>> welcome back, folks. for all americans, the down economy and high unemployment is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with but for one group, military vets it becomes even tougher. today, we've assembled a special panel of unemployed vets to hear what they think about the economy and the president's upcoming jobs speech. joining us now is marine corps

reserve veteran will munez, army reserve veteran kim renee smith and navy and coast guard veteran larry norse jr. good morning to all of you and thank you for your service. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> will, let me start with you. this is a difficult situation, facing our country and in particularly facing vets. you served in operation iraqi freedom. what do you need to hear from the president? what can he say? what can congress do that can put people like yourself back to work? >> actually, i'd love to hear the president say something about in regards to hiring veterans who have been in the federal sector not only in the federal sector but private sector. what winds up happening is a lot of people nowadays are taking advantage of all the excellent skills that a lot of veterans have to offer. lots of veterans that come with a specific skill set that can be interpreted and translated into the private and federal sectors in ways that a lot of people don't really take further impact in looking into. >> all right, kim. you serve -- since you were in the army, you were in customer

service and nursing industry and account executive as senior clerk. my question to you is the unemployment rate in particular among female vets is staggering. at one point, it was at 16.6%, twice that of men. why is it particularly difficult for women coming home from service to find work and how can that be changed? >> well, unfortunately, i have found recently because of my plight that there are very limited resources for female veterans. and i'm hoping that the president would address that issue and make it easier for veterans, female veterans especially to be able to get back into the work field and not only to just re-enter the work field but to be able to make the amount of money, decent wage to be able to be productive not only in the work force but in their homes especially. >> all right. 34 year vet of the navy and the

coast guard, most importantly you have three kids and that makes it particularly difficult. tell us about your situation and what makes it so hard for someone like yourself. how can that be changed? >> well, for me, it's been a long road of -- since i retired back in february, but it's -- it's one of those things where for me right now, i'm just looking -- i've been praying and looking to the lord and it's just been a great time in the wilderness. it's been hard. but the thing that can really help me is just seeing the church community, the president and all of congress, just look to the lord for the answers. >> all right. and look to the president, i guess, on thursday night to see if he has a message that can inspire some people like yourselves to maybe get you back

to work. thank you all for your service and thank you for joining us this morning. will munez jr., kim renee smith, larry norris jr. folk, if you have a job for them, let us know on our web site, foxnews.com. e-mail us, friends at foxnews.com. thank you all. coming up, some members of congress are begging the president to stop writing the speech and start writing a plan. do they have a point? is he wasting his time if the hill is not going to listen? and yesterday, you met the mom who enhanced her daughter's tre dress to make her look like dolly parton. now taking one giant step further. we'll explain next hour. weight watchers online has some great tools. i just love the chinese buffet cheat sheet -- if you like the chicken and vegetables you can put a little serving here and you actually make your plate. it just blows my mind to even think i've lost 100 pounds and i have weight watchers online to thank. the fun, funkier me has come out to play.

party. governor romney is quoting the grassroots group but do you think the anti-establishment group will show the establishment guy any love. >> and show them the money. the guy who stayed home sick when his office hit the multimillion dollar jackpot. he's coming for his cut now. he's suing them. he says he usually plays it. he throws his money into the hat. he just was sick that day. he should win. >> should they have to share in that $99 million? send us your e-mails. "fox & friends" continues right now. >> welding and -- >> welcome in on to "fox & friends", you're looking live outside on our studio this morning. beautiful american flags on this labor day mornings.

we hope maybe you have some time off where you're going to enjoy your family a little bit today. >> if you are going to be barbecuing, we have an exper who is going to show us some different ways to barbecue different things. things you normally would not expect. >> i've seen southern comfort. >> you don't notice the wings or pizzas, you notice the southern comfort. >> pizza and you can throw those out there. good morning, everybody. gretchen, steve and brian are off. good to have you in this morning. >> come on over. we're going to talk about some politics. mitt romney continuing to make a few headlines and remember early on, the knock on romney is he would never be able to get the tea party up on board. well, he is making a pitch for them. he in fact headlined a tea party rally on sunday in new hampshire. >> down playing his political experience. that seems to be the phrase this time around. we were joking earlier, remember a few years ago when then senator obama was running, it was this guy doesn't have enough experience. he's hardly been in the senate for a few years.

now, all these candidates are saying, hey, you know what? i'm a nonpolitical person. i'm not a career politician. that's now what -- >> it's so funny. >> what was a liability is now an asset. >> listen to what he says. mr. romney? >> as a matter of fact, of the people running for office, you know, i don't know that there are many who have less years in politics than me. i spent four years as the governor. i joke that i didn't inhale and i happened to believe that career politicians got us into this mess and the career politicians can't get us out of this mess. it will take someone who understands how the private economy works because he's worked in the private economy and i have. i'm a business guy. >> this is now a talking point. >> clearly a point at perry, right? come on! >> who's been a politician since 1985. i get emphasizing the private practice experience, the private enterprise but saying you don't have experience in government, i don't know. is that --

>> i want to know what you guys have to say about this. e-mail us. on one hand, as a voter, i want somebody who knows how washington works. who knows kind of what's going on, how to -- >> right? >> rick perry was a governor for 11 years. is that a liability now? >> right, and to say you're not a career politician when your career is a governor of a state for four years. that's your career. therefore, you're a career politician. what do you have to have 25 years and a gold watch to be a career politician? >> what's left is right. >> at least he's going now after -- some said that mitt romney was a little bit too much, too focused on president obama and not going after the people that are going to be campaigning against him heavily in the next few weeks and months. >> meanwhile, what a -- >> definitely turned the corner on that one. >> meanwhile, what a difference a few weeks makes, doesn't it? rick perry and the leader of the pack according to the recent polls and michelle bachmann being asked on the sunday talk shows and on fox news sunday about the surging popularity of rick perry and these polls seems

to have really hurt her. what does she say about it? take a listen. >> this is a marathon, not a sprint. and i'm very confident that we're doing all the right things to be the republican nominee for 2012. >> we have five debates coming up, the wednesday debate is going to be really interesting. wednesday, very, very interesting to see what happens there. the fact is she went from double digits to single digits. perry hasn't debated at all. we haven't heard from him. >> in 19 months, he didn't debate his opponent in 2010, houston mayor bill white. it's been a long time. today is a big day because jim demint gets an opportunity to sit down with all these candidates. he will sit down with michelle bachmann, mitt romney and rick perry in south carolina and get some of their opinions out in the open one on one. >> yeah, he says look, i'm wanoa kingmaker although a lot of people think he is, senator jim demint. listen to what he has to say about not wanting another president obama jobs speech this week. >> i'm frankly very tired of

speeches. i don't want to be disrespectful to the president but what i want to see is something in writing and that the congressional budget office tells us what it's going to cost. so that we can not only read it ourselves but the american people can read it. >> this all, of course, comes on the heels of those jobs numbers on friday. 9.1% unemployment rate at this hour in the nation. we should be clear about this because people will write us all the time and say, you know what? in ohio, it's 15% or 14% so 9.1% average across the country right now. >> it's a big one. and we're going to talk about this a little bit more. now we'll go to your headlines because we have a fox news alert for you. dangerous explosives have gone missing from the phoenix airport and we're going to explain this, relax a little bit for a second here. the hunt is on to find them. police officers were conducting a training exercise there and they had police dogs and all sorts of things including this blue cooler. somebody took the cooler! inside that cooler, two 1/2

pound tubes of cast booster explosives. these are the same kind of explosives that you use when you are mining. police believe whoever took these, this lunch box left the airport with them. hopefully it was just a mistake. the explosives by the way cannot be detonated without other equipment but they are explosives, nonetheless. and extreme weather alert. fast moving wildfires whipping across texas, burning thousands of acres. it has been dry there and it has been hot there. fueled in part these winds by the tropical storm -- the fires by the tropical storm known as lee. dozens of homes have been destroyed. at least two people were killed when they couldn't escape their home in time. thousands more homes have been evacuated and the fires burn all the way from austin to dallas. another weather alert. this time in the gulf where flooding fears continue to rise. elizabeth pram is there live once again in biloxi, mississippi, with latest on tropical depression lee. was this looking -- what's it looking like out there with you?

>> good morning, juliet. it's dry right now. i will say about 20 minutes ago, we had a downpour so it's very characteristic of this tropical depression. it was a tropical storm when it passed through biloxi here. bought a lot of landfall. very sporadic and earlier, dave mentioned inland flooding. that's a big concern and i want to show you why. because here on the coast, look at all this water, a lot of people can relate. it's labor day weekend. here's a boat ramp. typically boat ramps are dry. they're not filled with water. this is not only storm surge, but obviously, it's high tide right now and all that rainfall that we've seen. so think about how much water we're having here, experiencing here all this water in the gulf. now imagine all that water inland and north of us coming down. that's going to be a big concern. flash floods are unpredictable. they can be very, very dangerous. that along with tornadoes is something that everyone northeast -- northeast of us really need to be concerned about as we wrap up this labor day weekend. juliet, back to you. >> thank you very much, elizabeth. sorry about that. we were just chatting about the

weather, of course. let's get out to the weather and maria molina who, i believe, is outside with the latest. >> surprise. i'm inside! >> why would i think you were outside? >> that's crazy. >> sorry. >> it's ok. good morning, juliet and it's incredible to see all that flooding occurring across louisiana and as you mentioned earlier, we have all the wildfires in texas because of the drought. we have no rain from the storm system and gusty winds coming from lee helping to spread the wildfires. two totally different situations in two states that are next door to each other. we have tropical depression lee bringing in heavy rainfall and pumping in moisture from the gulf and bringing in a threat for severe weather this morning. there are a number of tornado warnings across the state of alabama and florida panhandle. we're keeping a close watch on. this rain stretches to parts of the northeast. it's not just because of lee but a cold front. that same front is bringing in relief from temperatures or hot temperatures across the city of actually dallas today expecting highs in the mid 80's but a lot

of rain also falling across the northeast and we're just impacted by eye arena a week ago so the ground is already saturated and guys, we'll see a lot of rain from both of these two systems combined. we're talking about four or more inches of rain stretching up to the interior portions of the northeast. this is going to be a huge concern not only for labor day but as it continues to rain in these areas, tuesday, wednesday and as we head into thursday. it's going to be an ongoing event. guys? >> there's been football games rained out, three or four in the last couple of days. two and three hour rain delays in football? >> yeah. i've never heard that before. >> got some storms. >> all right. thank you so much, maria. let's talk about this. and boy, i can see the inbox exploding right now. listen to this. typically for the last eight years, this guy in ohio used to throw his money into the office pool to go to the lotto. for eight years, they did this. all of them at the kraft maid store in the northeastern portion of ohio. well, he was out sick because of a back injury over the past

three months. what happens? of course, the rest of the officemates win $99 million and he didn't throw money into the pot. >> he stopped paying into it like two months ago. >> now they win -- >> too bad! >> because of a back injury. >> he wanted -- he could have sent money in every day. he could have sent a check in. >> now he's suing them. now he's suing them to make money. >> that's ridiculous. here's what you guys had to say about this. >> to win the lottery, you have to pay in to reap the rewards, i guess. unfortunately, i think he missed out. >> i feel for him but if he didn't put into it, i don't think he should get anything at all. >> he could have sent his money in, he's probably in contact with somebody that he worked with that he could have given the money to to stay on top of it. >> look, i'm not sure how much the -- how it's divvied out $99 million but i would think the compassionate office pool would probably buy him something. buy him a car. >> that would be nice. that would be -- >> hook him up. >> or the back injury. >> now he's suing. >> when i heard that story, i

thought well, if you just missed like a day of work and he usually did that for, you know, two months. >> for eight years, they've been doing this so you wonder, all right, bill is out with a back injury. >> let's say, hey, do you still want in? i'll front the money for the next two months. >> yeah, let us know what you think. we are "fox & friends" on twitter. that's where you can tweet us and also go to ffweekend. we'll tally up all the votes. >> i have some tweets coming in on my blackberry about this stuff. >> i'll let you know. >> coming up, the white house handing out guidelines for september 11th memorials. they don't mention al-qaida. we're not kidding. our next guest explains why the administration is so afraid to talk about radical islam. >> and you met her here yesterday, the mom who enhanced her 4-year-old daughter's dress. little like jump suit thing to make her look like dolly parton. now another mom has taken it another step further and dave, i'm backing down on this one. i'm phil mickelson, pro golfer.

[ male announcer ] because enbrel suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervo system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whetr you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have beetreated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. get back to the things that matter most. good job girls. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you.

>> welcome back. sparking a wild brawl last tuesday and more than a dozen people were arrested. at the time, playland, an amusement park in new york was packed with 3,000 visitors from a muslim tour group celebrating the end of ramadan. the scuffle broke out after women wearing traditional head scarves was trying to get on some rides but they were told they could not get on the rides because the head scarves were banned for safety reasons. the situation was different from those at other amusement parks. >> sure. what lessons can we learn from this incident? joining us is the author of "in the land of invisible women."

good morning to you, doctor. what is the lesson to learn from what happened at playland in rye? there was a big fight that broke out what's the takeaway for you? >> the main issue is the veil has become a very polarizing image and at any time there was a restriction on the wearing of veils or the expression of the need to veil, that can be somehow triggering islamaphobia in an inappropriate way. i think we're in an era of disproportionate sensitivities and disproportionate fears about islamaphobia and this unfortunate incident is a great example of that. >> i think it was strange, though, that other amusement parks, six flags, for instance, doesn't have that sort of ban. it makes you question as to why playland did. >> that's a great point, but i think the reason for that is the wearing of the veil has become a new ritualistic image of islamic

orthodoxy and it's a new phenomenon. most amusement parks haven't seen it. we're getting reports of insecure veils that resulted in death. perhaps this is an opportunity for six flags to consider their own safety proposals. this in a way means that doesn't mean that i don't agree with people veiling. we have complete freedom of expression but safety comes first. >> yeah, and they were very clear that was part of their rules and restrictions before that. we want to turn the page to the anniversary of 9/11. we're less than a week out from 10 years after 9/11. and the federal government is issuing guidelines on 9/11 memorials. a little clarification, we said a moment ago that these guidelines do not mention al-qaida. that's not true. they do, however, it appears down play al-qaida. we have not seen the entirety of these 9/11 memorial guidelines. why is that? why is it something that hasn't been made public?

>> i think that's interesting. yes, we do not have documents to go on but i would suggest that's because the documents were meant to be private or reflect perhaps the ambivalence or concerns about how we commemorate 9/11. anniversaries of memorials are reflections of the past and there's a need to retell the colossal event in this country. there's a fear that the inflaming sentiments might provoke islamaphobia. we have a great difficulty to separate out act of terror from islam. we have confidence that they'll be able to create this great sensitivity in their communities. >> that's well said and the best i've heard anybody phrase it. i appreciate the clarity. >> i was going to ask you very quickly, because this is not a religious ceremony, there aren't going to be, you know, imams and priests and rabbis and so forth,

do you agree with that? do you think that's a good idea and do you think the reason they did that -- bloomberg did that is because of the fact that they were concerned you'd have to bring in an imam and that would be inciteful in some way? >> i don't know. and i think the event is much more than religious even though obviously those perpetrators claimed a religion as an incentive, i think it's also about humanity. it's a global loss. 19 nationalities were lost in that concern but no, i think that we don't need to be as wary of this issue as, perhaps, the administration may be demonstrating, again, we would like to come back and talk about source documents in the future when we see those. >> all right, thank you very much. >> thank you very much. we really appreciate the information. all right, coming up, brand new details in that so-called suicide at a millionaire's mansion in california. forensic evidence comes back only to create more questions than answers. >> and call it a campaign promise kept. the president's plan to withdraw troops from iraq seems to be right on track.

how is it going on the ground? we'll talk to some soldiers when we come back.

>> welcome back. after eight long hard years of battle and toppling of a dictator in iraq, the united states military preparing to leave that country by the end of this year. so are we on track? what is our future relationship with the iraqi government? joining us live this morning from baghdad this labor day are three of our nation's heroes, and actually we have five, i

believe. major general jeffrey buchanan, navy petty officer third class clinton howell and senior airman terrance and israel schaefer and army specialist ashley polam, i'm no math genius but i think that's five. happy labor day. many americans celebrating freedom this morning, you're responsible for allowing that to happen. good morning, gentlemen. >> good morning and thanks for having us on your show today, clayton. and happy labor day from all of us to all of you. >> absolutely. and major general, let me start with you. we asked that question at the beginning, how have things changed? eight long years and civilian control about to be taken over at the end of this year. are we ready? >> well, i think that iraq has made tremendous progress over the last eight years and a number of us who have served here on and off over the years continue to be inspired by the growth.

economically and certainly in the security forces. i think that the iraqi government, the country, the security forces are all on the right track. they're headed in the right direction. i think there's some obstacles ahead that we don't fully understand but i think that our transitions especially this fall to the leadership of the u.s. embassy is all on track. >> now, i understand we have a microphone in the back row there. we can kind of hand this around. i'd love to get the perspective of the four individuals standing behind you. let's start with clinton howell. how have you seen this country change and go down the line and hand the microphone off and give me your take over the past -- your tours of duty there. >> i couldn't tell you exactly where it was before. all i know is now, i've been seeing iraqi army taking charge of security checkpoints. they've been doing what they need to do to be able to run their country themselves. i've enjoyed working with them

over the past six, seven months. >> wonderful. if you guys want to hand the microphone on down, i'd love to get your perspective and how you've seen the country side change and the citizens interacting with the u.s. military over these years. >> there's been a lot of good progress. >> a man of few words but we appreciate that. ashley, why don't you take the microphone there? >> they're a lot more confident and secure with themselves. i think they're ready to take over. >> my first deployment, i think that they have complete trust in themselves in that we can leave whenever and they'll be ready for it. >> clayton, one thing i'd like to add is all of these great -- i'm sorry but all these great troops behind me, this is their first tour in iraq.

but i think they clearly represent the best and brightest in america. they motivate -- they're motivated every day to make a difference and they are making a difference. and part of their motivation comes from all the great support we have from you. >> major general, i want to ask you comments that vice president dick cheney made earlier. he had this to say. he said last week, freedom to iraq has had a ripple effect on the revolutions that have taken place across the middle east. that iraq is really the lynch pin for freedom taking hold. what do you have to say to that? >> well, i think that the -- as we've seen many of the various protest movements, demonstrations, throughout this region, this -- for this entire year starting in january, one thing that i'd like to say is that the state of the iraqi democracy continues to evolve. it continues to grow and the iraqi people, both the civilians

and the government are learning from what's going on in the neighborhood as well. so the government is learning that it must be accountable to the people and the people are learning that they're responsible for the government. >> i'd be remiss if i didn't thank you all for your incredible service to this nation, incredible brave men and women out there and on this day, when we're honoring our freedom, we get to do that because of incredible folks like yourself. happy labor day for you even though you're working hard over there. thank you and, of course, you all know by now watching "fox & friends", we have those massive delays to get into baghdad so we thank you for your patience there. our incredible brave men and women there. coming up here on this show, you met her yesterday on "fox & friends." the mom who helped enhance her daughter's dress. but another mom taking this even further.

>> hurricane irene may be long gone but the devastation remains in some parts of new jersey. doug lazader is live in washington with the latest on the president's visit there yesterday. doug? >> the white house pretty quickly declared federal disaster areas along irene's path and the administration is promising help for those hit by the storm but there are some big funding questions ahead. we saw the president touring some of the hardest hit areas where the culprit was rain, not wind. he visited both wayne and paterson, new jersey. irene dumped so much rain there that the passaic river crested at twice its normal flood stage. the president offered condolences and promised that the federal government would pick up some of the tab. >> we are going to meet our federal obligations because we're one country and when one part of the country gets affected whether it's, you know, a tornado in joplin, missouri, or a hurricane that affects the eastern seaboard, then we come together as one country and we make sure that everybody gets the help that they need.

>> the problem is that fema is really in a funding bind. we're just about at the end of the federal fiscal year and fema only has about $800 million remaining in its disaster relief fund. that's not much. the white house did request another $5 billion from congress but that won't cover the losses from irene. it's not clear where any of this money is going to come from or if congress will be able to identify savings elsewhere to help offset the costs. otherwise, all of this is simply added to the national debts. back to you guys. >> doug lazader live in washington, thank you very much. it's interesting to hear some of the comments about chris christie, of course, the governor of new jersey and barack obama. has been critical of obama but there they are and all that stuff. >> you can put aside politics even jay carney, the white house spokesman says during natural disasters, both parties put aside politics to get to the bottom of it and help americans.

>> if you watched the show yesterday, you probably saw the 4-year-old dressed up as dolly parton. her mom adding a little enhancement again to the rear end and the breast region. and naturally, that incited a little bit of outrage and her mom, lindsay jackson joined us on "fox & friends" to defend the decision. >> that represented the state of tennessee so we got an outfit that represented it. it was a costume. it wasn't -- you know, put out there for anybody to look at and judge and think that i was doing something inappropriate. it was a dolly parton costume. but because this happened to be brought into the media spotlight and on national news, people like they have to jump on it and, you know, correct me when there's other things going on on a daily basis that are so much more concerning. >> ok, so that might have been one thing. now, this, we're learning is about to happen on that same

show, i think, about a week from now, the same show, "toddlers and tiaras" now a 3-year-old is being dressed up as the prostitute from "pretty woman" the one that julia roberts plays. dave has a photo of exactly how it looks. >> you know the iconic image of julia roberts. >> with the shiny skirt. >> the shiny skirt and the thigh high -- >> there you go. that's a 3-year-old, folks. that's a 3-year-old prostitute. >> julia made a pretty good defense of the dolly parton because it was a costume and it could be halloween and dolly parton, we all know and love. >> but dressing up as a prostitute from a movie, i don't know. >> and you find it offensive? >> no, i can't. do we have any sound from that at all, gavin? do we -- >> and outfits like that, that gets -- >> it's her strutting on stage there. you hear some of the sounds. that's a beauty pageant thing and like i said yesterday, dave

asked me this question in the after the show, show. i said look, if it was a costume and the family wasn't on "toddlers and tiaras" referring to the dolly parton one. that might be fine, right? for halloween. because she's also on the show and it makes it doubly ridiculous to me. >> let us know what you think. tweet us at "fox & friends", e-mail us, friends at foxnews.com. get them coming in. now your headlines, a party at the home of houston texans defensive end antonio smith turns deadly. the body of ingram lamar crenshaw, family friend of smith was found floating in the pool the next morning. 100 guests attended the bash which was billed as a "ninja mask and speedo party." huh? no word on a cause of death. foul play is not suspected. smith and the other players at the party refused to comment. clayton? >> an explosive new twist in the case of rebecca zahowe, the

california woman who hung herself from the balcony in her boyfriend's mansion. now, a renowned forensics expert is challenging all of that. he points to a newly released autopsy report that shows that howe had tape residue on her legs and a t-shirt stuffed in her mouth. doesn't sound like suicide. both of those details are more indicative of murder than suicide. he's now calling for a second autopsy just to be sure. >> for more than a year, one man walked over 7,000 miles across the country to help military families in need. now, national guard veteran troy yokum is finally home in louisville, kentucky. >> the world was on my shoulders and that i had to make it to the finish line because now, all these other military families that have been applying for financial assistance, we're going to get those donations to help them. >> how are those feet feeling, brother? so far, the 32-year-old raised

for explosions. so be careful. a scary ride for passengers on board a united express flight traveling from chicago to canada. terrified flyers screamed as the plane skidded off a wet runway while landing at ottawa international airport. all 44 passengers got off safely. the plane suffered substantial damage to the undercarriage and a wing that leaked fuel. extreme weather alert now. fast moving wildfires whipping across texas, burning thousands of acres fueled in part by the winds from tropical storm lee. dozens of homes have been destroyed. at least two people were killed when they couldn't escape their home in time. thousands more homes have been evacuated as the fires burn all the way from austin to dallas. and another weather alert in the gulf where the threat of flooding continues to rise. elizabeth prann is live in biloxi, mississippi and has the latest on tropical depression

lee. hey, elizabeth. >> good morning, juliet. the sun starting to come up. we wanted to give you a different location caves been showing you the flooding in the marina. we want to talk about other dangers following the coat tails of tropical depression lee. that is the beach. the rip current. we've already heard of two weather-related fatalities, one in texas, one in alabama, both involving incidents where people were getting in the water. what officials tell us is the danger is what you can't see. i know people perhaps on our west coast are used to seeing bigger waves. the gulf is usually very calm. so in the next 24 to 48 hours, people need to be very concerned if they do head to the beach. you can see not a lot of beach goers this morning. typically people wouldn't be laying out, but they would be enjoying a morning stroll, a lot of visitors. another hit this area took is the economy. these beaches would normally be packed. we talked to casino owners who told us they would normally see

from 90 to full cavity over this holiday weekend and there is from 30 to 60% capacity. juliet, back to you. >> juliet: elizabeth prann live in biloxi, thank you very much. all right. speaking of another weather forecaster -- well, she's a forecaster and an expert here. maria molina, what's going on with all of this? >> we are watching what's left of lee. right now a tropical depression, but still gusty across parts of louisiana, mississippi and alabama. we're look at the sustained winds with the storm system of up to 35 miles an hour. still relatively significant. some of those gusty winds stretch as far west as texas where we still have that elevated fire danger because of the gusty winds. no rain, and the drought that's been going on and we have currently some ongoing wildfires east of the city of austin, texas. otherwise a lot of rain being sucked up from lee and also combining with a cold front that stretches from texas all the way up into the interior portions of the northeast. we're looking at a very widespread area of showers and thunderstorms, heavier stuff

across tennessee and mississippi. but there is lighter stuff that we'll watch throughout the day today and actually throughout next several days. by thursday you'll across the northeast. we were hit hard by irene, so there is ongoing flooding. unfortunately, we're going to continue to see that heavy rainfall here for the next several days. widespread, four inches possible additional from mississippi up through portions of the northeast. locally, you can get up to ten inches specifically across tennessee, parts of northern alabama, and also higher elevations in the appalachians across portions of the mid atlantic. guys, back to you. >> juliet: thank you very much. it was a hero's welcome in boise. you're looking at troops from the idaho national guard returning home after more than a year in iraq. the soldiers greeted by family and friends, holding signs and cheering, well deserved. all of them saying there is no place like home.

>> we're happy to be home. cooperate ask for a better day. >> i was screaming. that's pretty much how it was. we were celebrating, hands in the air, very excited. >> juliet: the troops now have is a month to spend with their families before being sent off to their next deployment. and those are the headlines for today. >> let's turn our attention to politics and new hampshire where former governor mitt romney making his first major tea party appearance and i think expectations pretty high that he was going to come out and really talk to their values. but he didn't even touch on their name. didn't mention the term tea party in his appearance. and also turned a bit odd and played down his political experience as governor as a career politician. take a listen. >> i haven't spent my whole life in politics. as a matter of fact, the people running for office, i don't know that there are many who have less years in politics than me. i spent four years as a governor. i joke that i didn't inhale.

and i happen to believe that career politicians got us into this mess and the career politicians can't get us out of this mess. it will take someone who understands how the private economy works because he's worked in the private economy and i have. i'm a business guy. [ cheers and applause ] >> juliet: okay. >> if that sounds odd to you, you're not alone because what once was a liability is clearly an asset politically because you all remember in the run up to 2008, barak obama running and everyone criticizing him for a lack of experience in washington. but now that is something these candidates can absolutely campaign on. it is a strange world of -- >> juliet: what is happening with the e-mails? >> does it pass the smell test yet? let us know what you think. here is a guy who was governor. for all intents and purposes, has been running since 2008. right after barak obama won. he's been involved in politics for a long time. what's the threshold? if you're governor for four

years, does that make you not a career politician? >> i understand the down playing of the -- playing up of your private experience. but i don't understand the downplaying of your political experience, but we want to continue to hear from you -- >> juliet: you talked about how president obama or then senator obama was campaigning on the fact that -- well, people were upset with the fact that this guy came out of nowhere was going to be running for president. >> it will be interesting, the other candidates will sit down with jim demint. >> that was a swipe at rick perry and the amount of experience. >> juliet: it will be interesting to see what happens on wednesday at the debate because everybody is swiping at rick perry. michelle bachman, everybody, sarah palin. all right. on to another topic now. dick cheney obviously former vice president, has interesting comments. chris wallace promised us yesterday that when he had his interview with dick cheney, we would hear things that definitely would be news makers,

and you definitely can believe that that was true. mr. cheney was speaking about hillary clinton, for instance. she might have been the better pick. listen to this. >> perhaps she might have been easier for some of us who are critics of the president to work with, but -- >> why do you say that? >> i have the sense that she's one of the more competent members of the current administration and it would be interesting to speculate about how she might perform where she would be president. >> hillary clinton's poll number, high 60s. barak obama's poll numbers are right now, both sides of the aisle seem to agree she's done a pretty darn good job as secretary of state. interesting to hear that from the former vice president. >> it sure s. turning our attention now to your mail which might not be delivered later this winter because the post office might be finished. they say they might not be able to make their payments.

they face a $5.5 billion payment this month that they say at this point they could not make. will they get a bailout? will congress allow them to tear up union contracts? that remains to be seen. they want to lay off 120,000 people and close 3700 post offices. but congress holding a bit of that up. >> juliet: one of their -- their biggest expenditure is the labor, paying for the people that work for the department. that's pretty obvious. but interestingly, i didn't really realize this, the contracts that have been -- the negotiations that have been going on for decades with these union, leaders essentially have no layoff plan. none of them could be laid off. >> let's be clear about some of those numbers. you said labor, it's 80% of their operating expenses. 80%. we talked about the differences in some of those companies that outsource some of the package delivery, like fed-ex. they're 30% of their operating expenses. >> go to labor. >> ups, about 53%. so clearly much higher.

>> how can you compete with those two companies when you're clearly just dealing with different rules here? but that's up to congress to step in and allow them to make some of these changes. >> you can't beat a 40-cent stamp. >> people are not going to want to see a bailout. that much is clear. let us know what you think about all that. also the white house handing out guidelines from september 11 memorials. they're asking local lawmakers to downplay, full, al-qaeda's role. congressman michael grim has a problem with that. his district, part of new york city, he'll be here live when we come back. >> juliet: then should a group of co-workers split their winning lottery ticket? it was a $99 million winner. should they split it with a guy who used to play with them every day who took a couple months off 'cause he was sick, now he's suing them. >> we've got a flood.

>> welcome back. the obama administration wants all government officials on the same page this september 11 and to do so, they've issued guidelines telling federal agencies exactly how to observe the tenth anniversary. >> but those guidelines which actually directs people to perhaps downplay the role of al-qaeda not sitting well with members of congress. congressman michael grim is a new york congressman, a first responders. always great to see you. >> good to see you. >> these guidelines seem murky because people say they don't know what's in them, but it seems like a lot of people have an opinion that the white house is trying to downplay the role of al-qaeda in the september 11 attacks? is that what you're hearing? >> i think it's more than that. broadway, whether you've seen them or not, the fact that the president put out guidelines is

the problem. this is emblematic of this administration and the direction that this country is headed. the american people know how to mourn, how to reflect, how to think upon this day, especially as a new yorker, as a first responder, this is something that's very personal. the idea that the white house is going to give me guidelines on how i need to do this is represencible and again, the more government you have, the more personal liberties. i think this epitomizes that. how i reflect on 9-11 is certainly a personal liberty and think that the president of the united states would put out a guideline because i'm not capable of doing it myself? i mean, i think that goes to the arrogance of this administration. >> one of the ways you want to observe 9-11 is going to be in a sense, included in some legislation that you want to introduce and will on wednesday. if you can tell everybody about it. >> i will be dropping legislation as soon as we get back in congress to make a national monument out of the

terrorism and threat of terrorism is part of the world we live in now and it is incumbent upon all americans to look for things that may be out of the ordinary, whether it be a package left alone or someone acting oddly. this is now the world we live in and i will tell you, i just came back from israel, it's a part of the culture for israelis. they've had to deal with this for many generations and now, unfortunately, the united states has to do the same. >> congressman, good to see you. >> thank you. >> good luck with the legislation this week. >> have a good labor day. coming up here on the show, new tv news cameraman gets carjacked while covering a police chase. that's not all. take a look. >> oh, my god. my wife and two-month-old kid are in the car. >> wife and kid in the car also. >> and did you know this? wal-mart and those other super stores don't always give you the best deal. why most americans are missing out on what dollar stores are
