3:00 am
over before i get this done. >> bieber can't be on the u.s. stamp. >> why? >> he's not a united states citizen. he's canadian. >> can he defect? is there time? >> we have plenty of americans that we can honor. sorry. >> we'll tell you the story. but i think it could be any living person they're talking about right now. and -- >> including bill o'reilly. >> and a nonliving person would be abe lincoln and bill o'reilly has a brand new book. we saw him talking about it on his show. he's going to be joining us live today. >> if he wants to talk about it. he might want to talk about something else. >> i bet he wants to talk about that. let's get to your headlines for this tuesday. a shocking confession from behind bars. convicted murderer edward bell admitting he killed 11 girls in the 1970's. the 72-year-old calls his victims "the 11 that went into heaven." the houston chronicle reports he confessed to investigators but there wasn't enough evidence to
3:01 am
hand over to the grand jury. he was locked up for murdering a marine who confronted after he exposed himself to a group of girls. conrad murray goes on trial today, murray gave jackson a small dose to help him sleep and suggests the singer overdosed while he was out of the room. according to reports, jackson's 14-year-old son prince and 13-year-old daughter paris might testify but sources say their grandmother katherine thinks it might be too traumatic. >> stephanie cutter is a senior advisor to president obama, right now she is. she'll be leaving the white house at the end of the year. she'll help run the president's re-election campaign in chicago. massachusetts native was a long time advisor to the kennedy family and the communications director of the kerry-edwards campaign in 2004. not so graceful wardrobe malfunction. uh-oh, i missed it last night on "dancing with the stars."
3:02 am
>> nancy grace showing a little more skin, where is it? than she probably wanted to. >> that will hurt your eyes. >> that's all right. that's all right. oh. on the european version, that would be perfectly fine. >> i missed it. anyway, ricki lak on top of the leader board with 23 points. chaz bono dropped to last place! with a score of 17 points. >> turns out has a knee injury and giving him trouble. can you tell us more? >> no, i can't. thank you very much for that. >> let's talk about that instead why don't we? that may take too long to explain to the rest of the world. >> one part of chaz that hasn't been operated on so far. >> senate approved the temporary funding with no
3:03 am
government shutdown for now. >> i can't keep up with a possible shutdown. >> here's the headline of this whole thing. all of a sudden in the last moment, the budget people come to capitol hill and go, by the way, we don't need all that money that we thought we needed for fema to keep it running through friday which is the exact point that some of the house republicans were making, maybe we should, you know, tighten the belt a little bit and see if we need all this spending before we just vote on all this stuff and let it pass through. >> i think it was rahm emanuel and said never let a crisis go to waste, remember that? this is giving the democrats the opportunity to slug the republicans. last night by a margin of 79-12, the senate funded the government through november 18th. will there be a government shutdown november 18th? maybe. but it all did come down to the big question about how do we pay for stuff going forward? of course, we want to pay for disaster relief. but should you have offsets? that's what republicans like
3:04 am
mitch mcconnell says is possible and necessary. >> quite frankly, this is a vindication of what republicans have been saying all along. before we spend taxpayer money, we should have a real accounting of what's actually needed. >> what's actually needed. that's what i was saying, the billion dollars replenishment that fema thought they needed to operate through the end of this week, they actually don't need that. it's interesting how you find that out at the last minute when the government is about to shut down. otherwise, that would have been passed along. it makes you wonder how many other spending projects have gone through with money that maybe isn't necessarily necessary. >> the president was talking to the congressional black caucus and he knows he's having trouble with his base so therefore, he's put together like his -- something like his jobs bill which seems to go right to the left wing and fuel what many people are their thoughts that the rich have too much and the poor have too little and the rich are paying too little and the poor are not paying -- are paying too much in taxes.
3:05 am
so in the end, the president had a surprising message on sunday, essentially was you know what? stop complaining, stop your whining and get back to helping me become president again. that did not resonate well with a lot of people, for example, with maxine waters, says i'm not sure the president when he spoke to the hispanic caucus, didn't tell him to stop complaining, never said that to the gay and lesbian community that really pushed him on don't ask, don't tell and never says the same thing to the jewish community to stop complaining about israel, niger innis was on sean hannity last night and weighed in. >> it is outrageous for the president of the united states, last time i checked, he's not emperor of the united states. he's elected president of the united states and he's actually telling elected officials that represent these communities that are in the midst of the obama depression and a depression level unemployment statistics, he's actually telling their
3:06 am
elected officials shut up, you don't complain. take off your bedroom slippers. black folk and latinos and american people don't have money in an obama depression to buy bedroom slippers and certainly don't have time to spend in bed. they're trying to get off the unemployment line. get a job and economically survive in this economic depression that barack obama has put us in. >> the bedroom slippers thing did come out of left field. but niger just touched on something really important and he talked about the unemployment line. why would the black community be upset with barack obama? unemployment in the african-american community stands at 16%, 27 year high, up 11 1/2% since barack obama took office and if you look at the president's approval ratings in the black community, just about, what, five months ago, it was at 83%. they had strongly favorable views of the president. now it is at 58%.
3:07 am
>> one. things that started this whole debate of whether african-americans might be upset with the president is a couple of months ago when he started going out and speaking in certain states about, you know, getting people back to work and it was curious that he chose communities in which not a lot of african-americans lived and by the way, where unemploynt was a little bit better than the national average. so many people in african-american communities specifically maxine waters started talking back then. this has been a ground swell effort where maxine waters feels like she was ignored originally. >> i will say this, if the president would tell everybody to stop complaining, that would be good. >> because everybody is complaining. >> pointing fingers and complaining way too much but that having been whatever, i don't know if a candidate can get elected by telling the american people you're complaining too much. stop blaming other people and change your own life. but we'll see. meanwhile, the president of the united states sat down with the bet host emma miller and did an
3:08 am
interview to maybe patch things up with the african-american community. let's see how that went. >> america works when all of us are pulling together and everybody is focused on making sure that every single person has opportunity. and i look folks in the eye all the time who don't have a job or who have lost their home or who are struggling otherwise and what they tell me is as long as i feel like you're fighting for me, as long as i feel like you have my interest at heart, then we are going to stand behind you. >> you know, and conventional wisdom is, ok, barack obama has got the black vote locked up. herman cain says hold your horses. he can win a sizable amount. he was on the greta program last night when he said this. >> i believe quite frankly that my campaign, i will garner a minimum of a third of the black vote in this country and possibly more.
3:09 am
especially after what the president did recently when he was addressing the black caucus. i think that they're over their first african-american president thing. i think that's behind them. >> it will be interesting to see. maybe that would be the true case of where the african-american vote would go if you had herman cain against barack obama. in the meantime, let's talk about something that we said at the beginning of the show which is now that the post office, the united states post office deciding maybe we can put people who have not been dead for at least five years on stamps. that was the old rule. so now you could have people, i guess, who have been dead only two years. and you could also have living people. i'm here to say i think it should be americans first who go on the stamp. just saying. kind of a patriotic thing. >> here's what they're trying to do -->> wouldn't have helmut kohl. >> probably not. but somebody, perhaps, with helmet hair. >> right. sean hannity. >> they're trying to encourage people, back in the day when people used to collect stamps and stuff like that, stamp sales were fantastic.
3:10 am
well, these days because of the internet and everything else, their sales are going down so if they could come one a way to get people excited about buying a stamp and we've got a couple of examples of would you be excited if you could buy a justin bieber stamp? or a sarah palin stamp? like that? or a charlie she stamp or brian's favorite, meat flavored stamp, remember when she wore the meat dress. >> i still think about that every day. >> i bet you do. here's the thing, this is what the post office is saying, vote via twitter and facebook, the two things that have taken them down to their knees to see which stamp you want on your next letter. how many people out there will be saying, you know what? i could e-mail somebody but i'd love to send a lady gaga stamp and a letter snail mail, in fact, i'll write it out long hand and run to the post office, maybe i'll hit some traffic and drop it to the mailbox because i have this peel away stamp of an icon i currently like and later will dislike. >> i'm not sure this is going to rescue the united states post office having to think about not
3:11 am
delivering our mail on saturdays because they don't have any money left. i don't think that's the point of this whole thing. >> it is part of the point. >> they think they're going to raise enough money? come on! >> i think it's part of their innovative way of changing things. >> raise the cost of the stamp first. >> it's not that innovative, though, for years you've been able to go to stamps.com, places like that where you can put your own picture on a stamp. >> are you kidding? >> i'm not kidding so the government once again catching up to private business. we had a party for my daughter sally graduating from high school, we put sally on the stand. sally actually beat justin bieber to stampdom. >> how much was she worth at the time? $0.16? >> $0.44. >> $0.16. what rock have you been under? >> $0.44. >> $0.16? >> wow! >> i did not know that. bring my letter in a limo. >> if you could see a non-dead person on a stamp, that's what the postal service is suggesting now, who would it be? e-mail us, friends at
3:12 am
foxnews.com, we'll share some of your suggestions a little later on in this telecast. >> you can tweet them, too. the president's jobs plan costing 200 grand per job? the white house says it's better than nothing. charles gasparino from the fox business network doesn't think so. wow, 200 grand a job. >> major mix-up at the morgue. a daughter shows up to identify her dead mom. one problem, she was not dead. >> that's good news? >> i think so. s [ female announcer ] so you think your kids are getting enough vegetables?

[ male announcer ] apply online or at a bank of america near you. we're talking 3% back on gas. >> the economy is still in the tav tank. are we in the middle of a double dip recession or about to enter
3:16 am
one? treasury secretary timothy geithner was about to answer that question. let's hear it. >> are you sure we're not in another recession? >> for most americans, we've been in a recession the entire time and this is a really, really tough economy. >> can you assure me we're not in a double dip recession already? >> the economy is still growing. it's just not growing fast enough. >> two different conversations but with the president's jobs plan estimated to cost nearly $200,000 per job, are they right or even on the right track to fixing the economy? for more, we turn to fox business senior correspondent charles gasparino. timothy geithner did not even answer the question. is it worth it to get a job that's going to cost the government $200,000? >> you do wonder why he's still treasury secretary. this is a guy who has made one mistake after another and led the most anemic economic recovery. by the way, when markets go down, economies go down very steep, they're supposed to bounce up steeply. it's supposed to be a v shape. we've had nothing but a v shape.
3:17 am
we've had kind of a u shape, i guess is the best way to put it and, you know, listen, it's jobs -- creating jobs is not supposed to cost the american taxpayer money. it's supposed to money back into their -- back into the federal payroll. i mean, this is the most absurd thinking and i'll tell you, when you spend money on jobs like this, you get solyndra, you know, this solar panel gimmick that the obama administration funded with stimulus money. i mean, guess what? that's what happens. companies like that that do not have economic sustainability, we should point out, solyndra after getting a $500 million stimulus grant, they've filed for bankruptcy. >> are you going to put money into a solar company that failed, you're getting into venture capitalism with our money. maybe our government shouldn't be doing that. ok, they shouldn't. now you talk about doing the math and how many jobs come out of a stimulus program. his only answer is you got to think about the cost of the alternatives. what does that mean? >> his other answer is pretty scary as well. we can borrow cheaply to pay for those jobs. i mean, it really is absurd that
3:18 am
this administration thinks you can borrow money to pay for -- to create jobs. it never really works that way. roosevelt's wpa, george bush did a stimulus package, none of them worked. >> charles, should this guy even be treasury secretary? what's does his track record reveal? >> i don't think he should. and the reason why, if you listen to some of his statements, they make no sense. it doesn't really sound like he's got a handle around basic economics. i know he does, i think he does. he went to dartmouth or something like that but when you ask him specific questions about how to get the economy moving, it comes out like this. >> and the markets don't lie. they respond negatively when he speaks or makes a policy move. >> you know, his first public statements coming out as secretary, the markets went down, as i recall, 200 points. says it all. >> that's not a resume builder. charles, always great to see you. good to see you scramble that early in the morning for us. people run for their lives as the ceiling comes crashing down but the bigger story, but the bigger story here, where this
3:19 am
happened. then the government already forcing us to buy health care. now it wants doctors to hand over your medical records, too. senator john barraso's outrage. we'll be joining us right now. losing weight clicked for me when i lost weight right away. that weight tracker continued to go down and down and down. 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.

amanda knox's appeal of her murder conviction in italy yesterday. prosecutors showed graphic pictures of meredith kutcher's body. that was her roommate and called knox a demonic she levdevil. knox and her ex-boyfriend insist they are innocent. steve? >> thank you, gretch. president obama's health care law is on the fast track now to the u.s. supreme court. and the law's legality may be decided before the 2012 election. yesterday, the obama administration decided not to ask an atlanta area appeals court to review its decision against the lawmaking the supreme court the next likely landing spot. this comes as more health care waivers may soon be announced. so far, over 1300 companies and unions have been granted waivers from the law's new rules and joining us right now, wyoming senator and orthopedic surgeon, senator john barrasso. good morning to you, senator. >> thanks for having me. >> let's start with the headline and that sounds like next stop
3:24 am
for this bill is the supreme court. >> and the stop after that is showing that it is unconstitutional. the government can't come into our homes and tell us we have to buy a product. this bill is fatally flawed. it's bad for patients. it's bad for providers, the nurses and doctors that take care of those patients and terrible for our taxpayers, steve. >> ultimately, it sounds like their verdict would come out -- their judgment would probably come out in the summer before the election. if, for instance, it is found unconstitutional, i would imagine that would get your side all riled up to go to vote. >> well, people are ready to vote to get to a new president. get to a new congress. and really repeal this health care law but i'm looking to the supreme court to make the right decision which is to say this is unconstitutional and should be repealed. >> all right. senator, i mentioned a moment ago that so far, something like 1300, 1372 companies and also organizations and unions have
3:25 am
applied for and received waivers where they don't have to follow the new health care reform bill law. doesn't that prove that this thing doesn't work if so many companies have got to ask for an exception to it? >> yeah, and it's 3 1/2 million individuals, about half of them are folks that get their insurance through unions, the same unions that lobbied for the health care law, remember nancy pelosi said first you have to pass it before you get to find out what's in it. well, this law is now even unpopular than it was when it was passed and even though union workers are only about 1 in 8 workers in america, they have almost half of the waivers because, you know, the president promised, he said if you like what you have, you can keep it and he said the costs would go down, and these unions and others have said this is financially impossible to live within these laws and why a lot of businesses aren't hiring within the country and why we're at 9.1% unemployment.
3:26 am
it's the uncertainty of the cost of the health care law. >> i was down in dallas last week, a weekend before last and i was told by a restaurant owner that if this thing is completely enacted, next year, she'll probably have to go out of business because she can't afford to do everything that this particular bill is going to call for. >> well, it seems that no matter what policy this administration comes out with, it makes it harder and more expensive for the private sector to create jobs. and i'm looking for ways to make it cheaper and easier for the private sector to create jobs. that's how you get an economy going again, steve, and we need to do that and that's why we need to repeal this health care law and the waivers to me is just a basic fact that this health care law is fatally flawed. >> all right, we'll have to leave it there. senator john barrasso, thanks so much for joining us today from washington. >> thanks for having me. >> you bet. >> straight ahead on this tuesday morning, a major mix-up at the morgue. a daughter shows up to identify her dead mother. one problem, when they open the

3:33 am
stamps. >> if you're cloris leachman. >> let me give you the headlines. we have hall of fame waiting in the wings. >> we sure do. police in california say they're closing in on the fugitive suspected of killing the city councilwoman. this surveillance photo shows him holding an automatic rifle, there it is right there, as he breaks into a cabin near fort bragg. it was taken by one of the 40 cameras police installed across a 400 square mile area where they think he's hiding. he's accused of gunning down city councilman jerry mellow when mellow stumbled upon his opium garden. >> crazy story there. new video surfacing of murder suspect joran van der sloot confessing to murdering stephanie flores. the 24-year-old described to police in spanish how he hit, strangled and killed flores in peru back in 2010. there she is right there. van der sloot is charged with the 21-year-old's death and
3:34 am
remains the prime suspect in the disappearance of the american natalee holloway. >> incredible surveillance video just released from last month's earthquake in washington, d.c. you can see tourist says running down the stairs as the quake violently shakes the structure. the monument is closed while engineers inspect the damage and come up with repair plans. the top level of the monument suffered the most damage. dozens of pieces of stone fell from both the inside and outside. according to the national parks service, a team of specialists will repel down the monument today to check for additional damage. >> meanwhile, rio woman gets the shock of her life when she's taken into the morgue to identify the body of her dead mother. when doctors opened the body bag, they realized her mom was still breathing. she had been inside the bag for two hours. doctors quickly rushed her back to the intensive care unit and the woman had two strokes and pneumonia when a doctor wrongly
3:35 am
pronounced her dead. >> i wonder if a doctor loses his license over that. he was fired, thank you to our wonderful producing staff for that additional information. >> good to know. if you work in a morgue and you can't tell if someone is dead, you should not work in a morgue. that's my feeling. >> joining us for more on this story, correspondent jerry rice. >> don't scare me like that. >> welcome officially to the show. >> look at your hot jacket. can you loan one of those to steve and brian? >> this is the way i roll, you ow, nice and shiny. >> i know that's the way you roll. >> just like when i played football, you know. >> what is it, scotch guarded? >> yeah, a little bit. >> yeah. >> i like that. >> it beads when it rains. jerry, last night was a big night for you. you got the humanitarian award with -- for the miami project.
3:36 am
>> yeah, the fund. >> 26th annual greatest sports legends. >> it was amazing. you know, they raised over $10 million last night. to be a part of that. you had wayne newton that was there, andre dawson and so many great athletes came out to support it and they're trying to find a cure for, you know, spinal cord and stuff like that so, you know, every 48 minutes, someone is paralyzed. you don't realize that. but i think with nick and also mark, they're doing a fantastic job. >> it was his son or grandson. >> it was his son that got paralyzed, yeah, and he was just making a routine tackle. and, you know, imagine as a father, you have to go through a situation like that but i think they -- they're doing a fantastic job. >> sure. >> congratulations on all your work that you did to get that award last night because when you're done -- just because you're done playing doesn't mean you stop working. >> exactly. to be recognized that way, it really meant the world and i had the opportunity to go on stage
3:37 am
and everybody questions me about "dancing with the stars", they have the tendency to forget that i played football for 20 years. >> come on! they don't forget. >> you know, i played football. >> yeah, i remember! because you beat up on my vikings all the time. yeah, i remember it. let me ask you about a story that's in the news right now. down in tennessee, it's a tradition to say a prayer, the players say it before they start the game. and some of the coaches would just do this with their heads, you know, a slight bow. and now they're being told that they can't do that anymore because of the p.c. society that we live in, that some people might have a problem with it. >> the aclu sued. >> well, you know, that happened when i played in the nfl also. but, you know, i'm a baptist. i don't have a problem with it. and i think the majority of the people, you know, when the coach say ok, let's pray, you know, they would pray. and, you know -- >> do they still do that? >> they still do it. they still do it. we pray when we go out there and
3:38 am
we pray after. >> do you pray to win or cover? >> no, we pray that, ok, everyone stays healthy. that's the most important thing. we're not praying to win the game. yeah. everyone is healthy. >> i would say that smu game two weeks ago and they start after the star spangled banner, they had a prayer. and that's one of the things they prayed for at the beginning. everybody stood up and prayed to make sure nobody got hurt. >> i guess it's your preference and i, like i said, i have always been one of those guys who right before the game no matter what go and say a little special prayer. >> what i would do if i was a coach and i'd pray to have the next jerry rice in my huddle. that's what i would hope. you're an espn analyst now and doing a great job. let's talk about two unbelievable stories in the nfl. from nowhere to everywhere, the detroit lions and buffalo bills. the buffalo bills to me have to be the great story because that's a city that's depressed and their first 3-0 start since the 1980's. >> i know, it has to do with the head coach and also ryan
3:39 am
fitzpatrick. he's doing a fantastic job. >> ninth round pick from harvard. >> they were 21 points down but they don't panic. you couldn't name the top five players on that team. you know, they just keep coming, they keep fighting. and somehow, they're going to work their way back into the game and, you know, i -- even though tom brady threw four interceptions and did all that, but, you know, you got to take your hat off to them. >> especially detroit, weren't they 0-16 a couple of years ago. they got high draft picks and so they were building up with young players and i guess that's the essence of the game, is it not? that's how it's supposed to work. >> right. the most important thing is to keep him healthy, they have a great chance of winning. then you have the phenom with kevin johnson and he's an exceptional wide receiver so they're doing some great things and to have both of these organizations 3-0 right now is really amazing. >> real quick, randy moss coming
3:40 am
back saying the giants are a team i would consider. can he come back? you played into your 40's. >> first inning i read about that is that he's talking about the money. you know, not, you know, coming back to win a championship, you know, and whenever someone say well, if the money is right, then i don't think they coming back for the right reasons. >> right. and real quick, before we talk "dancing with the stars", this is the big story here, rex ryan, joe namath tells rex ryan, you're boayour boasting and bragging is making it hard for the players. >> that's because you have to live up to that. where rex ryan, he's going to talk but you'll have to back that up, and you know, this weekend with the raiders, they -- the raiders are for real. and it was sort of a little -- i don't know, it just felt like with the jets when they went in there -- >> jets thought they won before they played. before they started. >> you mentioned "dancing with the stars" a couple of minutes ago, what do you think about this stone? -- season? >> i think ricki lake is doing
3:41 am
fantastic, and also i like j.r. martinez. >> that's a great story there. >> i like him. those guys, you really have to work hard and i'm sure when they -- when they first signed on, they didn't realize that it was going to, you know, really have to -- they're going to have to really focus and -- >> because you worked really hard on that, too, isn't that hard physically even for you? >> yeah, because you're using muscles you've never used before to be honest with you. >> i remember watching you. >> look, i'm a macho athlete, you know. and i had to put the shoes on with the heel on it, yeah, i first had to get through that. that was very important. but after i did that -- >> i was surprised they wouldn't ma you dance in cleats. that's what i would have done. >> you notice with master p, he would not put the heel on. >> that's all i think about. >> you don't mind if i take home jerry rice for my son do you? >> please do that. i want to target kids that are like 13 and under and i wanted to bring families back into the equation here, and i think with
3:42 am
jerry rice and nidus football, you know, you can do that. you know, it's the wii, you can throw passes, you can dodge and you can have a saint bernard that can block. you can have a labrador that can -- it's very creative game. but i think the most important thing is that we wanted to focus on the kids. >> and you do just that. thanks. >> thanks for having me. >> great jerry rice. >> thank you very much. >> thank you, thank you. >> all right, jerry. >> go out on the verandah and i'll try -- >> to make you look good, ok? >> coming up on the show, remember the president's solar company that went belly up. something else interesting turned up about one of the company's creditors. >> 100,000 women had a heart attack and didn't even know it. dr. travis stork from "the doctors" is making a studio call. he's next. [ male announcer ] heard this one?
3:43 am
3:44 am
living with the pain of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis... could mean living with joint damage. help stop the damage before it stops you with humira. for many adults with moderate to severe ra, humira's proven to help relieve pain and stop joint damage. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events can occur, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection.
3:45 am
ask your rheumatologist how you can defend against and help stop further joint damage with humira. get your cash back! oh, hi. which cash back booth looks better to you, chase freedom or the largest cashback card? oh, i'll try the largest. oh, that is too bad. apparently you don't know chase freedom guarantees you 1% cash back. 4 times more than the largest cash back card, which only gives you a quarter percent until you spend $3,000 every year. but have fun. bob and weave once you're in there.
3:46 am
don't get short changed. get your cash back. chase freedom. >> welcome back, everyone. i a stunning study released as 100,000 women had a heart attack and didn't even know it. how can that happen? joining us is e.r. doctor and star of "the doctors" back within the same month, travis stork. good to see you again. >> good to see you. >> this is shocking. i'm a woman. i know heart disease is the number one killer of women and i don't think a lot of other people in society realize that. >> 1 in 3 of us suffer from heart disease. we used to think of heart disease and heart attacks as a problem for men but more and more we're realizing that women have heart disease in the same numbers. their symptoms are a little more subtle so women will have a heart attack sometimes and not even know it. and that is frightening. >> so 100,000 in this particular study. what do you make of that? i mean, would a woman just feel
3:47 am
a slight tinge in her heart and then that would be a heart attack or would it be more than that? >> it's not always the classic hollywood scene of a man clutching his chest. for women, chest pain is still the most common symptom but in half of women, it may not be chest pain. it may be shortness of breath. it may be weakness, fatigue, dizziness. as a woman, you need to pay attention to your body and be aware of this. we as doctors are becoming more and more aware of these subtle symptoms. but women, pay attention to your bodies but more importantly, take steps in your life now to prevent that visit to the e.r. one day because heart disease is largely self-regulated. we can do a lot to improve our chances of not getting a heart attack. >> i want to get to that in a moment. apparently in this study, the angiograms didn't pick it up for these women which presents a whole another problem. in general, in the past, studies on heart disease didn't even include women. they were studying men. are we changing that now? >> we are changing that. there was a massive gender gap and it's not right. it's not fair and i'm happy to
3:48 am
report that more and more is being done to bridge that gender gap and i think even today, talking about it so that women out there watch and realize you need to pay attention to heart disease just like your husband. >> you have some prevention tips and i know that includes probably eating healthy foods. one of those foods happens to be cheerios? >> i teamed up with general mills. this is national cholesterol education month and what that means is cholesterol is one of the major risk factors for heart disease. so there's some simple things you can do. one of them is oats. so whether it's a bowl of oatmeal or whole oats cereal like cheerios, you can actually lower your cholesterol levels with something called soluble fiber. you can eliminate it naturally. eliminate unhealthy snacks in the afternoon with a handful of mixed nuts. we've talked about fatty fishes before, whether it's salmon, halibut. twice a week if you can add that
3:49 am
to your diet, you can reduce your chances of having heart disease. thesare simple changes. they are things that i encourage all households in this country to implement because they can make a real difference. >> and we can, of course, see more about that when we watch the doctors. great to see you always, dr. stork. great to see you. >> thank you for having me. >> we know that solyndra got taxpayer money before going bell i up. something else interesting has turned up, a very curious political creditor that may not be legal. judge napolitano on that next. then president obama wants to get the youth vote by connecting with the creators of "jersey shore." apparently, they're not big fans of the situation. clever writing. where do you go to find a busess
3:50 am
3:53 am
>> i'll raise mine now. >> just weeks after filing for bankruptcy, the solar panel company just listed the california democratic party as one of their key creditors, the listing of a political party as a creditor of any company is highly unusual. what might their ties be to the failed company? >> joining us right now is senior judicial analyst, the guy with the distinctive laugh, judge andrew napolitano. >> with the distinctive eyebrows. so sew linda put out this list of people who they owe money to and the democratic party of california, when people saw that, they go wait a minute. >> in my years as a lawyer and judge, you deal with many, many bankruptcies and i've never seen a bankruptcy filing where a creditor is a political party. when you file bankruptcy, you're
3:54 am
basically saying to the court, we can't pay all of our bills so you, bankruptcy judge, decide how to divide up what we have and pay what we owe. and when you do that, you have to list everybody to whom you owe money. these people filed in a bankruptcy court they owe money to the democratic party of california. what service or good could the democratic party of california possibly have provided solyndra. >> helped them get half a billion dollars. >> if they took money for that, we have a very, very serious problem. this is either a red herring, it was put in there to have us talk about it or a typographical error and never intended to be in there. >> why would they put in a red herring? they have enough problems. >> i don't know why they would do that. i don't know why they would take half a billion dollars from taxpayers and blow it. i don't know why they would continue to take money from the taxpayers with a business plan that couldn't compete with the chinese or there is a serious issue here. look, could the democratic party sold them used furniture?
3:55 am
yeah, they can do that. but there's -- i can't think of a way that the democratic party could have provided a good or service that it's in the business of providing and charge for it. >> now, these guys, these executives stood up, the cfo and the ceo and took the fifth amendment. where do they go from here? could they ever be questioned and forced to answer in a different atmosphere, in a different hearing? >> good question. only way they could be compelled to answer is if they were given immunity so if the house of representatives was really serious about questioning them, it could give them immunity, justice department doesn't want this to be done. that means they can't be prosecuted. it's a focus from them to the department of energy bureaucrats whom congressman issa can call and not invoke the fifth amendment. >> we did contact the democratic party and did not hear a response to our questions about how they can possibly be a creditor. stand by for that. >> very interesting. we'll follow up on it.
3:56 am
>> we'll be following it on your show. thanks, judge. coming up on our show, a high school teacher calls a tea party leader a nazi. >> you could say what you are, a nazi. >> that tea party president here live to respond. >> then the clean air act creating tons of new regulations but don't worry, the e.p.a. has a way to deal with it after you the taxpayer shell out $230,000 and 230,000 new government workers to handle that. >> perfect.

4:00 am
african-american community for complaining and now some black leaders are firing back. >> it is outrageous for the president of the united states, last time i checked, he's not emperor of the united states. >> but the president is not backing down. we'll bring you the very latest. >> yes, need a job? the e.p.a., the environmental protection agency wants to hire folks to dig through the overwhelming red tape that they put up. and they need some taxpayer money to do it. >> billions and billions of dollars. plus the obama administration trying to rock the youth vote. turns to the creators of "the jersey shore" and other programs but mtv says they'll stick with gtl and have no time for o. what's that about? we'll tell you straight ahead. hour two for "fox & friends" on a tuesday starting right now. >> hey, this is meatloaf and
4:01 am
you're watching "fox & friends." >> he hasn't been on for a while. >> not expecting the question. it's his birthday today, i believe. >> meatloaf again? >> is that the answer to the trivia question. >> i think i might have given it away. scrap it right now. whoopsy daisy. hopefully i won't mess up the headlines. here they are right now. the senate stand-off over disaster is over, disaster aid, remember senators passed a deal to avert a government shutdown this weekend, the compromise strips away some spending cuts but provides less money for disaster relief than democrats wanted. >> quite frankly, i think this is a vindication of what republicans have been saying all along, before we spend the taxpayers' money we should have a real accounting, a real accounting of what is actually needed. >> the bill is expected to pass the house next week and will keep the government running through mid november. than what's going to happen? we'll go through this all again. shocking confession from behind bars. convicted murderer edward bell admitting that he killed 11
4:02 am
girls in the 1970's. the 72-year-old calls his victims "the 11 that went to heaven." the houston chronicle reports that he confessed to the murders to prosecutors back in 1998 but there wasn't enough evidence to hand over to the grand jury. bell has been locked up since 1993 for murdering a marine who confronted him as he exposed himself to a group of girls. a council of 50 islamic clerics in pakistan issuing a fatwah declaring that jihad should be laufrnled against united states if the united states attacks pakistan. it came after the u.s. accused pakistani intelligence of helping the taliban's network attack our embassy in kabul. intelligence analyst tells fox news this is a serious threat and the clerics are urging pakistanis to infiltrate the u.s. military and our intelligence agencies to attack from within. well, check this out, we're seeing the first pictures of anne hathaway as cat woman.
4:03 am
they were shot on the set of the new movie. this time, she dons a leather suit, pointing ears and high heeled boots. the dark knight rises set for release next summer. and those are your headlines. >> meow! >> all right, let's talk a little bit about some comments that the president of the united states made. he started off his weekend at the congressional black caucus where he told those assemed stop complaining, he was trying to sell his jobs bill. stop complaining, stop grumbling, he said stop crying, we're going to press on, we've got work to do and then maxine waters came out and said, i find those words curious because he would never tell, for instance, the gay community or the hispanic community to stop complaining. >> and he -- >> absolutely not. when they had complaints for don't ask don't tell when the american jewish community came out and said you're not supporting israel, he never screamed at them. he never reprimanded them but as i said earlier, i like the
4:04 am
message to america is stop whining, stop complaining, make something happen. it's troublesome when you pick out one segment of society that you ask to rally behind you and scold them. niger innis thought it was something note worthy as well with sean hannity last night. >> it's outrageous for the president of the united states, last time i checked, he's not emperor of the united states. he's elected president of the united states. and he's actually telling elected officials that represent these communities that are in the midst of the obama administration depression and our depression unemployment level statistics, he's telling their elected officials, shut up, you don't complain. take off your bedroom slippers. black folk and latinos and american people don't have money in an obama depression to buy bedroom slippers and certainly don't have time to spend in bed. they're trying to get off the unemployment line, get a job and economically survive in this
4:05 am
economic depression that barack obama has put us in. >> it's interesting because many people, analysts, pundits, etc. would say that african-americans are going to overwhelmingly vote for president obama. they did in 2008 and they will in 2012 so it's very interesting to see that there might be some dissension within the ranks and many would argue that maybe the president has created it himself because when he originally went out this summer and talked about his jobs bill and getting people back to work, he didn't initially visit the hard hit communities where african-americans are really, really unemployed. i'm thinking detroit and some of these other areas, he went to areas in the midwest where they had a low population of african-americans. >> going forward in the next election, the black community may not turn out in numbers. the prospect of that terrifying in the white house. the president went on black entertainment television last night to respond to maxine waters and others. listen.
4:06 am
>> america works when all of us are pulling together and everybody is focused on making sure that every single person has opportunities. and i look folks in the eye all the time who don't have a job or who have lost their home or who are struggling otherwise and what they tell me is as long as i feel like you're fighting for me, as long as i feel like you have my interest at heart, then we are going to stand behind you. >> the question was kind of contentious. he said to the president, did emmitt miller who was doing the interview in the private session that he got that airs on bet, he said that african-americans in chicago, south side, for example, the father gone, mother working 10 hours a day for peanuts. there are no jobs and you won't even say mr. president, look, i'm going to help you and the president quickly interjected and said wait, that's not what i'm saying you and heard the rest of his answer. >> unemployment in the black community is at a 27-year high. it's at 16.7%. it's up 11 1/2% since barack obama took the presidency.
4:07 am
and i think when you look at the comments, you can understand why there is some outrage. you know, when the president of the united states tells you to shut up, who likes that? >> well, herman cain did respond to that. he's running on the other side of the fence, he wants to be president and he's also african-american and here were his thoughts. >> i believe quite frankly that my campaign, i will garner a minimum of a third of the black vote in this country and possibly more. especially after what the president did recently when he was addressing the black caucus. i think that they're over this first african-american president thing. i think that is behind them. >> quick mention about herman cain, he will be meeting with donald trump this week. and he has gotten a big endorsement, dennis miller will be hosting a fundraiser in los angeles for him and he took on the republican party in the house for putting -- for asking for offsets for the emergency funding to those disaster areas
4:08 am
saying that's where i break. fund the disaster areas, worry about the offsets later. >> very interesting. he also has been on the record as saying some other republicans that we should get rid of one of the agencies within the government, the e.p.a. a lot of republicans have been saying that the e.p.a. has been cracking down with so many regulations on businesses. but businesses simply can't afford to continue moving forward. >> democrats are saying that, too. >> then both. so he says that their laws are impossible to foow, herman cain does and now, you're looking at the e.p.a. and guess what? they're actually hiring, well some people argue they're destroying jobs in the private sector. they're now going to hire 230,000 new employees to keep up with all the paperwork from all of these additional and new regulations. >> so they kind of admit that it's so overwhelming that we're not equipped to enforce our own rules? here's an excerpt from the e.p.a. brief. to read that is voice-over specialist steve doocy. >> thank you very much, mr. kilmeade. while e.p.a. acknowledges that come 2016, the administrative burdens may still be so great,
4:09 am
the compliance may still be absurd or impossible to administer at the time and what they're talking about is how the e.p.a. wants to somehow go ahead and regulate green house gases. so to do that, they're going to have to hire 230,000 more employees at a cost of $21 billion. what's interesting, though, is the national economic research associates used the fed's own data to figure out if those regulations go into effect. would they create jobs or cost jobs? well, over the next seven years, if all those e.p.a. rules go into effect, the e.p.a. will be responsible for americans losing 1.4 million jobs. all that stuff, ok, so you would lose 1.4 million private sector jobs. but on the plus side, you would create 230,000 government jobs. fantastic! >> it's following a trend because under the obama administration, government jobs have increased by 7% while the
4:10 am
rest of the jobs in the private sector have gone down so it's interesting to see sort of a shift in society to more government workers. >> the president trumped his own e.p.a. about two weeks ago and she almost quit because of it. i think he has to step in and regulate this. it's hurting his economy. this is his report card. >> let's see if he does that. in the meantime, can you say oh bummer? it turns out akorpgd to a report in "the new york post" this morning that the president's people went to mtv, you know, the same outfit that does "jersey shore" and, you know, known for the music videos originally. and they have young viewers. that's the key here, folks. they have young viewers. apparently, the advisors to the president went to them and said hey, can you help us out with our re-election campaign? because we would love to know how to reach out to these young viewers because they were so instrumental in electing the president back in 2008. >> right. >> what was the answer? >> yeah, apparently, this internal p.r. agency that helps corporate entities figure out how to talk to the young people, getting them to buy stuff, they
4:11 am
said sorry, we're not involved in politics. can't get involved in politics even though in the past, they've been involved in politics. what's going on now that they're not getting involved? >> i remember that great question that came from that student that said to bill clinton, boxers or briefs which is something i never wanted to know from a president. >> i know that kid who actually asked that question. >> really? and he's now 61. >> she is -- has graduated from college now. >> i wish her all the luck in the world. >> uh-huh. >> coming up on our show, the white house blaming the tea party for nearing another government shutdown. does the evidence stack up? senator pat toomey who was supported by the tea party will join us next to respond. >> then as producers start casting for the new dirty dancing movie remake, who would jennifer grey like to see play her role as baby? the actress tells us when she joins us on the curvy couch. looking good! you lost some weight.
4:12 am
4:14 am
multigrain cheerios... get your cash back! oh, hi. which cash back booth looks better to you, chase freedom or the largest cashback card? oh, i'll try the largest. oh, that is too bad. apparently you don't know chase freedom guarantees you 1% cash back. 4 times more than the largest cash back card, which only gives you a quarter percent until you spend $3,000 every year. but have fun. bob and weave once you're in there. don't get short changed. get your cash back. chase freedom.
4:15 am
>> government shutdown has been averted. this is not a repeat. we had another one. we just missed it. that didn't stop the white house from playing class warfare. listen. 22,000 millionaires pay less affected tax rate, under 15% so we have inequities. the american people are screaming out saying it's unfair that the wealthiest, the largest corporations who can afford the best attorneys, the best accountants, take advantage of these special tax treatments, the lobbyists along with lawmakers have cooked into the books here. >> quick word, too, the reason why the government shutdown was averted, fema didn't need the money right away like they thought. they weren't actually out of money. what david plouffe was referring
4:16 am
to is something that pat toomey has been asked to tackle as part of the super committee out of pennsylvania. welcome back. >> good morning. >> when you saw david plouffe or heard about david plouffe's appearance with chris wallace or the other sunday talk shows, when he's starting to paint guys with money and the people without money. the people with money not paying their fair share when the statistics show they are, what are your thoughts? >> i think this is just not a constructive part of the dialogue. this is an effort to divide americans, to try to foster resentment and anger. look, we've got a tax code that's a complete disaster. it needs to be completely overhauled in my view. both on a corporate side and on the individual side. but we ought to do this in a constructive way that will generate more economic growth, more fairness, more simplicity. we don't need to spend our time trying to vilify people. >> makes you wonder about the american jobs plan that the president put forward. evidently, the democrats in the house aren't for it. i want to talk about your super committee role.
4:17 am
i know you can't talk specifics but in sunday's "new york times," there was talk that maybe democrats would look at this and say we don't mind if we get to the 23rd of november and don't have a deal and have those automatic cuts go into play which would include major cuts at the pentagon. do you sense that mood in the room from your -- across the aisle? >> i don't sense any such move. i'm sure there's some democrats that hold that view, by the way, on capitol hill as a whole. but i can tell you, i think the members of the committee are very committed to finding a solution within the committee to working hard, there's a very constructive attitude so i don't think people are prepared to allow that alternative which is really devastating to our national security oochl ooin the president is basically running for re-election, here's what he said even at the california fundraiser, eat on the west coast raising a whole lot of money. he said, has anybody been watching the debates lately? you have a governor denying climate change and audiences cheering at the prospect of somebody dying because they don't have health care and
4:18 am
booing a service member in iraq because they're gay. that's not reflective of who we are. is this helping you guys come together? >> no, unfortunately, the president has been in campaign mode for sometime now. his so-called jobs plan isn't a serious jobs plan. it's a campaign speech and that's what it is. i mean, another stimulus bill, a big massive tax increase. by their own calculation if you do the math, every job that they claim they'll be able to create will cost $200,000 jobs if it happens, we know how it worked out last time. unfortunately, the president is in campaign mode. that's not helpful to the work that we need to get done. >> when he talks about cutting and you're talking about cutting, you wonder if you guys got to be on the same page. i understand there's a commonality between the democrats and republicans in the super committee. it's on tax reform. can you have major tax reform agreed on by the 23rd of this november? >> well, again, i don't want to characterize what we're doing in the committee. but let me just say that tax reform is it something that the
4:19 am
committee would be empowered to consider. and i think we could do something substantial on the tax side by november 23rdrd. it wouldn't be easy but none of this work is going to be easy. my own personal hope is that we will do something on the tax front because i think the most pro growth thing we can do would be to reform the tax code, simplify it, get rid of some of the unfair deductions and special interest loopholes and lower marginal rates so we would have a surge of investment and job creation and growth. so i'm hopeful that we'll be able to take a serious look at that. >> i'm glad you're in the super committee. interesting to see if you can meet the deadline, if you guys can come together. thanks so much for joining us, senator. >> thanks for having me. >> coming up next on the rundown, a high school teacher takes on a party leader in front of his students. >> say what you are, a nazi. >> great. the tea party president live to respond to being called a nazi and talk about a real cliffhanger. can this mother lion save her cub? stare, look, wonder and watch.

4:25 am
george, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> when that teacher, jonathan bryant called you a nazi, what did you think? >> i thought here goes another tantrum from a liberal who just, you know, cannot argue or debate in a civil manner. >> and you've been called names before. >> oh, yeah, yeah, this is the third debate that i've participated in here in san antonio and every single one of them has degenerated in name calling and, you know, i've gotten used to being called a racist. but this is the first time that i've been called a nazi. >> yeah, and now -- >> as you can see, i don't look very ariane. >> here's the thing, george. that -- apparently the school is not going to discipline the teacher because while students were in attendance, they weren't mandated to be there and apparently the guy said he was really, really sorry. but, you know, george, what would happenf one of -- and

you can see that teacher's students behind him applauding. what would happen if one of his students called him a nazi in his classroom? >> well, in that case, i'm sure that there would be some kind of action and probably he'd be disciplined in some form or fashion. not to mention that he probably would be ostracized by the other students who by now have been pretty well indoctrinated. >> yeah, are you ok with the lack of discipline in this case? >> of course not. this is a public -- this is a public employee and it's -- it's evident that they are -- that there is some unfair and unbalanced teaching going on in -- in the schoolroom. >> and you just touched on, i think, one of the most important points and that is this guy is a high school government teacher. whatever he says those kids sitting in the chairs are going to believe that to be true. and if -- if his presentation in
4:27 am
class is like what he said at that particular town hall, those kids are getting a skewed view of government in america. >> that's exactly right. that's exactly right. what kind of a generation are we raising? now, wanot only are these young impressionable students but they're also hispanic, and looking at the large hispanic population we have in texas not to mention the rest of the united states, this is a generation that is being -- that is being indoctrinated in my opinion and it's -- i just wonder what kind of teaching is going on regarding the constitution of the united states and the history of our nation. >> good point. george rodriguez, president of the san antonio tea party, thank you, sir for joining us live today. >> thank you. >> what do you think about that? e-mail us, friends at foxnews.com. meanwhile, straight ahead, government is forcing you to buy health care. now it wants doctors to hand over your medical records to them, too. can that happen? we'll tell you. then look who is in our make-up

4:38 am
>> and then you win. >> i said to the doctor, i said do you think i can do this thing? it was just a few months later, it was three months later, maybe. four? and he said, well, i think you'll be at a disadvantage, and you'll be behind. everyone else. you'll get to maybe the sixth week. i said i'm not going to start unless i can finish. right? >> might as well finish and win it. with ron artest out this season, it gives everybody else a chance to win. so he was so brilliant and he forgot to wear his shirt. so -- what are you looking at right now and saying i see the most growth potential? >> having been there, it's such a long road and so much in the beginning, it's really a marathon and it's so punishing. i was literally needing doctors to help me get through the entire thing. i was in excruciating pain from beginning to end. there's no day off. >> there was a doctor right there? >> no, i had my own -- my spinal surgeon who would

and human services could give the government access to your medical records as well. your personal information. for more on this, we turn to fox news analyst peter johnson jr. good morning. >> good morning. >> this is not a specific part of obama care but a rule being proposed. >> it's a regulation proposed by secretary sabelius who says after one way or another, the federal government will have access to each and every doctor visit, every part of your medical record, every part of your medical history in order to so-called stablize premiums. they're saying, well, we're going to be insuring everyone so we want to know that people are being charged properly and not being ripped off because of the new risk in the system and based on that excuse, they're saying, well, we're going to need everyone's records, either the state will give them to us or you will give them insurers directly to the federal government. one way or the other, we're going to get americans' health
4:47 am
records. >> even if you continue with your current provider, even if you don't opt into the government-run program? >> it appears so and it appears part of this kind of octopus-like control of health care that i talked about for a year. you know, a lot of folks on the democratic side were very supportive of obamacare, said, you know, when you find out what's in this health care proposal and now this law, you will really like it. but now we know in like a 25 or 30 page regulation at the department of health and human services has put out and if you want to comment on it, you can go to regulation.gov and tell the government what you're really thinking, they're saying well, because of stablizing premiums, because they're making sure that people aren't being charged too much, we have a need now to see each and every record so some congresspeople are saying, well, this is going to lead to some orwellian kind of
4:48 am
state where the government is looking at really the last, the last vestige of privacy in this country is how you're feel and what your medical -- >> legally, can they do that, number one? number two, what kind of legal problems do you have with it? >> oh, i think legally, they believe they can do it. there's something called hippa in this country that a lot of people are aware of whereby your health records are protected. but under certain situations you give up those rights in order to get benefits, in order to get care, in order to share information and there's a tremendous amount of sharing of information that already goes on with regard to our health records in this country. but what this regulation will do and we don't know all the ramifications of it yet, i'm going to continue to look for it, will for the first time mandate that all of this critical private health care information of yours and mine is
4:49 am
available and in the possession of the government and god forbid, if we have a wikileaks, do you want to wake up some morning, joe american and jane american and read about your health carrot internet? it's a little bit disturbing. >> fascinating question. always great to see you, peter johnson, continue to look at that and we'll have you back. to discuss it further. you know the feeling you get on a friday. tgif, everyone! our next guest says there's an easy way to get that every single day. looking forward to that and the number one song on this date in 2000, music by madonna. good one to put on your ipod.

>> welcome back. back in 2009, a "usa today" gallup poll said that 65% of americans were optimistic the economy would get better in a year. but now, just two years later, feelings have changed. 61% believe that the economy will actually get worse. so how do people stay positive during these tough, trying times? >> and steve and gretchen ask me this every day so finally i'm glad a real pro is here to tell us, pastor joel olstein has written a brand new book "every day a friday, how to be happier seven days a week." joel, welcome back. is part of being happy ignoring your problems? >> i don't know if you ignore them but you -- you don't dwell on them. you have the right perspective to know this will pass and it will change. i'm not saying that we don't have difficulties. you can have peace and be content in the middle of difficult times.
4:54 am
>> it's a choice. >> it is. you know, my thing is if you don't get happy where you are, you probably won't get to where you want to be. >> you're right. >> if you're complaining and you're negative, god, why am i at this job and i don't like my marriage. you have to pass that test. i'm going to choose have a smile and going to choose to be good to somebody. >> it's so interesting because on fridays, i open the show, tgif, everybody! and you have a certain different sense and a jump in your step. are you saying that every day, we should be saying tgim, tgit, tgiw? >> that's what i say in the book. i understand friday. we're looking forward to the weekend. but i don't think we're supposed to dread monday or tuesday and, you know, again, you may not be jumping up and down. but if you program your mind the right way, you don't have to dread it, you don't have to say oh, monday, it's a bummer. >> sure. help our viewers out. there are a lot of people that are hurting financially right now, unemployment is above 9%. for people who are there at home watching right now, what's your
4:55 am
advice on how to stay positive? because if you don't have money coming in, it's tough. >> it's hard and our hearts go out for them. we pray for them but i do think this, steve, if you get up and you find something to be grateful for, if you don't have your job, if you have your health or if you have your family, if you have something, i believe how you start the day determines, you know, how the day is going to go. and so -- >> with any luck, they're starting their day with us. >> i know. you always start it happy and fun. if you do that, i think it's very important, i think, you know, if you can have the right perspective and not get bitter, a lot of people get discouraged, it's never going to change and that draws in more. >> you talk about in your book possibly when you're in an up beat mood and open to opportunity, opportunity seems to come to you and you can't quantify and look at it as a tangible thing. things happen if you expect it to happen. >> it does. being a pastor, i say that's your faith being released. some people say joel, you're telling people to be positive. i say if you get up and say, you know what? this is going to be a great day. i have opportunity. i have health. that's going to draw in the good things of god. you're really saying god, you're in control of my life. i trust you today.
4:56 am
you know, everything good may not happen -- something good may not happen every day. you're opening the door to something. >> is it ok to get mad in traffic? i don't think there's anything that can bring me down, when i'm stuck in traffic and got to get somewhere. is it ok to get angry? >> i don't think so. i say this, you're not supposed to give away your joy. i don't think anybody can take it. don't give it to somebody. your joy is your power. that's your strength. >> tgit, that's what i'm going to say all day long. >> your new book is called "every day a friday." what a great idea. thanks for joining us live. great to see you. >> should homework come on colored paper? the p.c. police telling teachers white paper might be racist. this is a real story coming your way. >> that's right. bill o'reilly used to be a teacher and he's walking this way right now! bill, next. so who ordered the cereal that can help lower olesterol

5:04 am
but it's okay to tell the tea party people to go to hell. love that kind of thinking. ok, if you're offended by somebody telling to you stop whining, that's okay. but the president wanted to gin up his base and this is the way he tried to do it, so no big deal to me. >> brian: was he trying to make amends when he sat down with the bet host. >> if i'm a 16-year-old kid on the south side of chicago, my dad is gone, my mom working ten hours a day. all i see is blight. no help wanted signs: and you won't say, look, i'm going to help you, a young african-american. how do i feel? >> that's not what people are saying. what people are saying all across the country is, we're hurting and we've been hurting for a long time. and the question is, how can we make sure that the economy is working for every single person. what's always made this country great is the belief that everybody has got a chance, regardless of race, regardless of creed. >> steve: well? >> number one, the economy can't work for every single person.
5:05 am
this is what these politicians have to stop doing, setting up these false hopes because they're just not. if you're not educated, you'll have is a real hard time. unemployment for people with college degrees in america, 4.5%. and they're loons. so let's say everybody who is a college education can pretty much get a job. unless you're a serial killer. so this false thing, like oh, i'm going to make the economy work for every single american, this is insane. it doesn't work. but this is what president obama believes. so in his quest to make the economy work for every single american, they spend $5.4 trillion in four years. bankrupting the rest of the country. and then comes back to say, all of that money really didn't create any jobs. unemployment is higher. the american people are sitting there, they bought it for the first two years. i gave president obama 18 months. i thought that was fair. let's see what his economic
5:06 am
platform will be, and now that we know it doesn't work, i expected him to pivot. president obama to pivot. like clinton did and try something new. but instead, it's the same old well, here is another half trillion dollars i want to throw in and you're going, if it didn't work the first time, why is it going to work this time? there is no answer. >> brian: the untold story is democrats are not for it either. he's yelling at democrats for not getting behind it, but there is nobody in the house and senate saying this is the plan to turn us around. >> the black caucus wants targeted jobs for african-americans. that's what they want. president obama can't give them that because that's political suicide. the rest of the country would say, oh, okay. you're going to take more money and just target these people. that's not inclusive. that's not making the economy work for every single american. a president can't do that. so there is a lot of different forces at work against mr. obama. >> steve: let's talk abouting something we were talk being at the beginning of the program. there is this diversity consultant who says that
5:07 am
teachers should -- if you're going to depict a wish, use a witch in a pink hat because a black hat might ill still racism in a young kid and while they use white paper, it's a staple in schools. >> who is saying this? >> steve: diversity consultant. >> can we fire that person? >> gretchen: probably a study the taxpayers paid for. >> steve: what do you think about that? >> i think it's insane. it's good fodder for morning programs. i might use it dumbest of the week. but nobody takes this stuff seriously. and i'm hoping gretchen isn't right, that this isn't a public study with taxpayer money. >> gretchen: here is the thing, they do take it seriously. >> who? >> gretchen: we've watched political cents -- come on, we talk about it every thursday 9-11 we watched it creep into our society. you wait. i bet any money now that they're going to start using colored paper instead of just white. >> i will take that bet. i think white paper will be in the stores next year.
5:08 am
>> brian: aside from your novel, you write this book "killing lincoln." why do you think it's important for us to read this now? >> lincoln is the gold standard for american presidents. in my opinion, far and away the best american president. what he did was provided leadership to the country when it was divided. okay? what kind of country do we have now? it's divided. right? serious problems. not nearly what lincoln had to face, but serious, serious problems. so i say to myself, i want to write a book that everybody is going to read. not some boring history book, like a thriller about his last two months of lincoln's life and what he went through and how his leadership came out from his personal suffering. lincoln knew he was going to be assassinated. he knew it. he told his wife and other people in the white house. i saw myself laying on a gurney, a bed dead. people weep not guilty a dream. and what's in the last two
5:09 am
months of lincoln's life is just amazing. >> brian: right. you have lee and grant and the way that played out. >> the backdrop of the end of the civil war. the reason it's relevant is we need a president now with the leadership qualities of abraham lincoln. >> gretchen: had which is my next question. what lessons can president obama learn? >> it's not president obama who likes lincoln, by the way. president obama, after the super bowl interview, took me in the lincoln bedroom and showed me the gettysburg address. no matter who the next president of the united states is, they have to put the country above themselves. they have to stop the ideology, the craziness, and say i have to do tough things to get the economy back on track. i have to do tough things. that means you have to cut. people are going to be mad at you. but that's what's next. that's what lincoln did. >> brian: grant park, do you remember the theme?
5:10 am
the president was i don't want to win over 53% of the voters. i want the other people that didn't vote for me. very similar to what lincoln gives grant. you win this war, i want to you show compassion. i don't want any revenge. isn't that on a much greater schedule the civil war, the same thing you're saying right now politicians should have with policy? >> lincoln had a vision for the country and that was to win the civil war, to make sure that slavery never happened again and to unite the south and the north once again. and he paid for it with his life, but he suffered immensely. but today, today what the presidents and politicians don't do is they don't put their country above themselves. look, half the stuff we hear politicians from both parties say, we know is bs. it's not going to happen. we know when president obama says i'm going to make the economy work for every single american. that's impossible. it's not going to happen. if you're an alcoholic or heroin addict, the economy is not going to work for you. okay? we need somebody like lincoln
5:11 am
who basically told the truth. abe happen lincoln was the most hated man in america. they hated him both in the south, obvious reasons, and in the north. a lot of people hated abraham lincoln because he basically told them the truth and that's what we need. >> gretchen: don't you think that president obama in his mind, potentially might think he's acting as president lincoln? >> i've never, ever said that president obama didn't have the country's best intentions at heart. the problem is his strategy isn't working. it's not working. this isn't a quasi socialistic system. the engine of our economy is driven by the private sector. we can't overreact and you have to stop with the fossil fuel bashing because we don't have an alternative. all of these things are facts that the president for some reason doesn't acknowledge. >> steve: so your brand-new book not only historical account of
5:12 am
what was going on leading up to the two months of the assassination, but essentially a plea for somebody to step up to the plate? >> it's an example. but the real reason i wrote this book was because i know most people don't read history books and they certainly don't teach it in school. i'm a history major, i taught history. i didn't know 90% of this. you didn't know it, right? >> brian: it's fascinating. >> what i tell but lincoln and what actually happened to him, personal life, his marriage, this, that and the other thing, i had no idea! booth, booth, i mean, he was a racist. he almost got away with it! he almost got away. so that's why i wrote the book so everybody could read it, including american children who desperately need to know about abraham lincoln. >> steve: all right. it is called "killing lincoln," by that fellow sitting here, bill o'reilly, who will be on tv exactly 11 hours and 45 minutes from now. >> i can't wait.
5:13 am
making "the factor" work for every single american. >> gretchen: all right. thanks. coming up on our show, the fast and furious scandal getting worse now. not only did the government help arm the most dangerous drug dealers, they bought some of the guns maybe with your money? >> steve: great. a bike sale creating controversy. white people pay more than minorities. making people furious. john stossel says that's an important lesson being missed. he hosted one of himself. >> brian: if he keeps walking, he'll get to touch bill o'reilly. [ male announcer ] heard this one?

5:16 am
5:17 am
california-berkeley advertised a bake sale with different prices for different people depending on their race and gender. see here, white caucasian people paid 2 bucks. asians will pay 1.50. native americans, a quarter. what kind of a point were they trying to make when they were trying to talk about affirmative action? >> treating people different based on the color of their skin is unfair and any affirmative action type of legislation that treats people different based on race is itself racism and it's discriminatory. so the purpose of the bake sale is to upset people about charging people differently on the color of their skin. >> steve: john stossel tried a bake sale just like this last year and he joins us live to tell us what he learned. good morning to you. >> i learned that it makes people mad. i was just doing it because bucknell shut one of these bake sales down and i'm glad berkeley, as far as we know, is allowing it to go on.
5:18 am
but it's just a good way to make people think about affirmative action and the conditioncake -- cup cake sell in a way is this is what universities are doing with its affirmative action policy. you have to have higher sat scores if you're asian. i don't get their price list. it's indicative of why these things are useful. >> steve: let's take a look. >> we're not. >> cupcakes for sale. asian, 1.50. if you're white a buck. if you're latino or black, 50 cents. >> that's not right. >> is the cupcake poison? >> steve: is it poisoned? >> my point is that after those angry comments, those people stayed and said, what are you doing? and i explained, i'm trying to illustrate what affirmative action does, that that is a form
5:19 am
of racism, too. and we had conversations and at the end of it, people said, oh, i never thought about affirmative action that way. and that's the good part. that's why good for barkley, bad for bucknell, at least berkeley so far are allowing it to go forward. >> steve: and interesting lesson is learned via baked goods. john stossel, we thank you very much. john joins us from the "fox business" network. thank you, sir. straight ahead, stunning development, fox news obtained documents that show our government not only approved the fast and furious program, it used taxpayer money to buy the weapons. that story is next. and then a major mix-up at the morgue. a daughter shows up to identify her dead mother. one problem. mom wasn't dead.
5:23 am
>> steve: allall right. we got quick headlines. new video from italy where amanda knox just entered the courtroom in her murder appeal. her attorneys are giving their closing arguments a day after prosecutors gave theirs, calling knox a demonic she devil and showing graphic pictures of her dead roommate. a woman in brazil gets the shock of her life. she goes to the morgue sadly to identify her dead mom. when the body bag is opened, she realizes, wait a minute, my mother is breathing. her mom was rushed back to the hospital where she's now in the intensive care unit. the doctor who pronounced her dead has resigned. gretch? >> gretchen: the fast and
5:24 am
furious operation creating more controversy. shocking documents show not only did u.s. officials allow the sale of weapons to mexican drug cartels, taxpayers also paid for some of those weapons. william lajeunesse live in los angeles with the details. what did you find out? >> that's the difference in this case. it's one thing to say gun stores sold too many guns to criminals and we missed, or we lost track of guns, as in fast and furious. here the u.s. government actually bought the guns, cut off surveillance, and intentionally let them go to mexico. >> the purchase was being done by a criminal organization. >> so far federal officials claim operation fast and furious only allowed guns to be sold to criminals. however, new records show the atf actually bought records using taxpayer money, sold them to cartel buyers, then watched as the guns disappeared into mexico. >> it made no sense to us either. it's just what we were ordered to do. >> according to this may 2010 letter, atf supervisor dived
5:25 am
voss gave agent john doddson $850 in petty cash to buy two hand guns from the lone wolf trading company in phoenix. he received another 1700 to buy four more at a second store. he was then instructed to sell the guns. but instead of moving in and busting the buyer, the atf watched him drive away. sources say mexican police have never recovered the guns. after doddson went public, another supervisor tried to discredit him by disclosing he sold guns to the cartels. >> where were the guns you gave him? he purchased firearms as a straw purchaser. that was doddson. >> some web sites were among the first to report the scandal, allowing current atf agents to go public without revealing their identities. >> it's a test to the power of the internet and the ability to
5:26 am
network. >> this case involved the same agents, the same store, the same methods, but a different defendant than the 20 of those indicted in fast and furious. agent doddson said he watched this storage facility for a week, when a car showed up to take the guns to mexico, he called for surveillance and back up and it was refused and the guns disappeared south. gretchen. >> gretchen: all right. william lajeunesse, great reporting. thanks so much for keeping us up to date on that story. guess what? there is an elephant in our living room! parents, stick around. the elephant teaming up with krista gingrich. that's newt gingrich's life, to teach your kids something about american history. then steve and brian have abandoned me. there's a good reason, though. guess who they're with. elizabeth hurley, she's a super model. >> steve: she's taking over the show. >> gretchen: i can't compete. who can with her? new stride whitemint is a hit but it lasts too long.
5:27 am
5:30 am
i've got to tell susie ! the vending machine on elm is almost empty. i'm on it, boss. new pony sorry ! we are open for business. let's reroute greg to fresno. growing businesses use machine-to-machine technology from verizon wireless. susie ! the nding machine... already filled. cool bike. because the busine with the best technologyules. >> last night obama was in northern california where he met lady gaga and apparently they hit it off because he wound up giving her a ride home. [ laughter ] unfortunately he lost her in the parking garage. >> steve: hail to the egg. >> gretchen: remember when she came out of that thing?
5:31 am
>> brian: yeah, like it was yesterday. >> steve: meanwhile, speaking of yesterday, the president arrived in california. today the president is leaving l.a so where is he heading next? wendell goler is at the white house all alone with details. hey, wendell. >> steve, how are you? the president will stop at a high school in denver on his way back to the white house and deliver a speech on the american jobs act. meanwhile, democrats and republicans on capitol hill avert add government shut down for the third time this year last night. this time they had days to spare instead of just hours. i suppose that's progress. in his speech in los angeles yesterday, the president talked about the difficulty in securing the change he's trying to effect across the country, but he might just as well have been talking about the highly partisan atmosphere here in washington. >> i never promised easy. if you want easy, you wouldn't have campaigned for brack hussein obama. what i promised was that there was a vision of america out
5:32 am
there that we believed in. what i promised was that if we worked hard, we could achieve that vision. >> the breakthrough on capitol hill last night came in the senate when democrats agreed to accept less money for disaster relief than they wanted and republicans agreed to fewer spending cuts. flooding from hurricane irene after tornadoes in missouri, forest fires in texas and the east coast earthquake left fema broke this year, the agency will go into the next fiscal year which starts saturday with less money than some lawmakers think it needs, but senate republican leader mitch mcconnell says you have to priorityize. >> quite frankly, i think this is a vindication of what republicans have been saying all along before we spend the taxpayer money, we should have a real accounting, a real accounting of what is actually needed. >> georgia republican senator johnny isakson says you have to pick your fights.
5:33 am
it would have cost the government more money to prepare for a possible government shutdown than money the democrats and republicans were arguing over. guys, back to you. >> steve: wendell goler, north lawn of the white house, thank you very much for the live report. >> gretchen: let's talk about this, yesterday remember we told you about the story about a history teacher who was at a forum talking about illegal immigration and the dreamact specifically and he sort of got into it with the leader of the tea party in that community in san antonio and eventually ended up calling him a nazi. well, today that chair of the tea party came on to respond to that. >> again, folks, it's a person that they are -- that there is some unfair and unbalanced teaching going on in the school room. this is a generation that is being indoctrinated, in my opinion, and i just wonder what kind of teaching is going on regarding the constitution of
5:34 am
the united states and the history of our nation. >> steve: so there you have george rodriguez, the president of the san antonio tea party talking about the teacher who had called him a nazi. he worries that, okay, you got a government teacher who regards members of the tea party as nazis. is that really a good person to be in front of all of those high school students teaching him a view of the government? >> brian: i'm sure he's not going to be open to the pros and cons of the dreamact. he just wants the pros. the school has written a statement. the school's district administration feels this issue is settled. the teacher submitted a written statement and expressed his regret. testimony was taken from others who were there. this incident by itself does not meet the district policy on termination. any further evidence in this matter will be considered at that time. so they're not going to fire the guy. he's been there six years. >> gretchen: if anyone else calls anyone a nazi, trust me, they would lose their job. >> steve: if a student called their teacher a nazi, he would
5:35 am
be suspended i would imagine for at least a week. >> brian: or forced to sit next to a man in an elephant costume. >> steve: are you talking about right there? >> gretchen: i'm going to try and read headlines with an elephant. >> steve: things will make sense in two minutes. >> brian: as long as we acknowledge the elephant in the room. >> gretchen: this man right here suspected of shooting up several military buildings in washington, d.c. last fall, just tried to escape fromrison. the "washington post" reports he was in the process of digging through a cinder block wall inside his virginia prison cell. the cell was reinforced with concrete and he had no chance of getting out. he was charged with shooting out windows at the national museum in virginia and the pentagon. police in california say they're close not guilty on aaron brassler, fugitive suspected of killing a city councilman. this shows him holding a semiautomatic rifle as he breaks into a cabin near fort brag. it was taken by one of 40
5:36 am
cameras police installed across an area where they think he's hiding. he is accused of gunning down jerry melo, when melo stumbled upon his opium garden. >> brian: here we go again. joran van der sloot confessing to murder. he describes to police in spanish how he hit, strangled and killed stephanie flores in peru in 2010. he's charged with the 21-year-old's death. he also remains a prime suspect in the disappearance of natalee holloway. not so graceful wardrobe malfunction last night on "dancing with the stars". nancy grace showing a little bit too much of the final verdict there. she probably wanted to do more of that -- show a little less during her dip. let's listen. >> that's all right. on the european version, that
5:37 am
would be perfectly fine. >> brian: ricki lake on top of the leader board with 23 points. chaz bono dropped to last place. he's dealing with a knee injury and he'll go into details a little later. he had just 17 points. >> steve: meanwhile, there is a massive push to highlight the importance of math and signs in our schools. in doing so, are we ignoring history? according to last year's national assessment of education progress, only some were proficient in history. calista gingrich is trying to change that with her book called "sweet land of liberty" and she joins us live along with ellis the elephant. >> thanks for having us. >> steve: nice to have you. >> gretchen: hopefully you'll do all the talking and not ellis. so i love this concept because you want to bring kids back into the idea of learning about our land and our liberty. how are you doing it in this book? >> we've created a character,
5:38 am
ellis, the elephant, who takes children to the pivotal moments of our history to say what a great nation this is. and in doing so, enabling them to appreciate the courage, the service and sacrifice that really made this an exceptional nation. >> steve: i think we need to send your book down to that san antonio high school where the government teacher called the tea party member a nazi. >> this is really a patriotic book. it's not a republican book. it's a pro american book and i hope many families will embrace it. >> brian: do you think elephants are the type of animal kids like? i feel like i want to read the book because i'm sitting next to it. >> elephants are adorable and we did consider many animals as we were writing this book. >> steve: you got a bunch of eagles. >> we do. we have a lot of american symbolism in this book that children can recognize. in each illustration, they were beautifully done. in each one, we have an eagle as
5:39 am
an important american symbol. >> gretchen: you say you're trying to target what, ages four to eight? >> four to eight, yes. and the entire text is in rhyme. >> gretchen: really? >> i have a new appreciation for dr. seuss. >> gretchen: did you think of all the himes? >> i did, yes. >> brian: do you find that 7th and 8th graders especially, they don't understand history, they don't have an understanding of the civil war, even the revolutionary war, they don't have the fundamentals down? >> that's right. we have a lot of work to do. a recent survey indicated that a majority of fourth graders didn't know why the pilgrims left england. most fourth graders couldn't explain why abraham lincoln was an important historical figure and less than a third of eighth graders knew why the colonists fought england. with our help, our children can learn more about american history. >> steve: there are a lot of kids around the world in other countries where they know more about the united states and our struggle than kids who live here. >> for the past two generations, we really have had a dumbing down of american history. we need to --
5:40 am
>> steve: why is that? >> well, it's happening in our schools. so we need to change the situation. projects like this do that. >> gretche speaking of catching up, i just want to say that your husband appears to be catching up in the polls. >> thank you. >> gretchen: he's done very well, according to the pundits and analysts, in the debates so far and even president clinton recently said that you better watch newt gingrich. you better keep a close eye on him. what was your reaction to that? >> we appreciated that comment very much. and i think september has been a good month for newt. we've seen good momentum. the debates have been very good for him. we're encouraged. >> brian: do you have ellis firmly in the newt gingrich for president camp or is he nonpartisan? >> he's pro-american, but very fond of newt. >> steve: i can imagine. this interview kind of reminds me of when we had jada pinkett smith on talking about her show "huh northern" and off camera was will smith, much like you're
5:41 am
here talking about your book while your husband, who is the former speaker of the house, to stand over there in the shadows and watch his wife talk about ellis the elephant. >> gretchen: he really likes the little guy. >> he's very supportive. >> gretchen: at least you didn't put him in the ellis suit. >> no, he's not. >> brian: was newt in the ali movie or "men in black" because there is so many parallels between the two couples. >> steve: i don't think so. >> gretchen: no, no, no. >> newt, do you want to come on over? >> steve: or just stand right there? >> i hesitate to get too close to you guys at this stage. brian, your ability to sit next to ellis and not notice it is the height of professional. >> brian: thank you very much. >> you can do presidential debate training. >> steve: mr. speaker, what's the most important reason why parents should buy this book for their children? >> if you're a parent or grandparent and you care about
5:42 am
america and you want your grandchildren or your children to grow up loving america, i think having at four to eight years, having ellis as their friend take them through the book -- children's books are hard. and it's a great creative thing. i think parents will find it and grandparents will find it a really good christmas gift. >> gretchen: you haven't liked much of the media's questions in the debate, but i hope you enjoy ed our questions. >> this interview was hysterical and i'll treasure it. >> brian: very well behaved elephant. >> steve: the book is "sweet land of liberty." we thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> brian: ellis, congratulations on getting the cover. >> steve: straight ahead, the coach who got in trouble for bowing his head in silent prayer like that, getting some surprise support. what our next guest did had the entire stadium erupting with applause. >> brian: sorry, mr. elephant, you'll need to get your trunk off the couch.

>> brian: classic case of political correctness run amuck. football coaches in tennessee being told they can not bow their heads during a student-led prayer. joining us right now, a man who is doing something about it and has done something about it since september 2. scott graves joins us from nashville. scott, the trouble started in your community at your football game august 16. when what happened? >> well, we had a couple of coaches that was on the field after the game was over and the players did a volunteer prayer. these coaches actually fell back
5:47 am
from the crowd of players in reverence to them and bowed their heads to show respect. that's why they got reprimanded. >> brian: this all comes back from the aclu who sued your district because you violated the separation of church and state. saying teachers lead students in prayers is not going to fly and that's anti-american. that's where this uproar started. correct? >> exactly. >> brian: all right. so what did you do in response starting on september? >> in september 2 was the first home high school game. that was a middle school game that that happened to. but a lot of the coaches coach in both places and coach together and they're all known all over the community. so we decided we would show some support for them during the moment of silence when the game started. we started in unison, i started and we did the lord's prayer, and people joined in, we let everybody know on our side lines
5:48 am
first what we were doing in the crowd, what we're doing, and if you want to join in, you're more than welcome. the other side joined in with us and it actually was white house high school at that game and they're in our county as well and they know the situation. they joined in with us and there was a round of applause when it was over. we got a lot of show of support. people were happy to get behind these coaches because they felt like their first amendment rights were -- >> brian: you're not going to get in trouble? you can't control a crowd like that. here is what the school says. it says we've been telling our principals to kind of look out for those things because this is a shift in how things can be done. it cannot appear to be endorsed by the county school personnel, which it is not. it's you guys doing it organically. you're taking action, scott. thanks for sharing your story and hopefully your community comes around to understanding. >> thank you very much. >> brian: meanwhile, stick around 'cause look who is here. elizabeth hurley right on our curvy couch and that should be
5:49 am
fun. eventually we'll hear her talk. first, let's check in with bill hemmer. we always hear him talk. he's going to tell us what's on his show. i'm going now. >> see you. we'll see it here first. who is the tea party backing for president? this might surprise you. the supreme court will likely rule on obamacare in the middle of the campaign of 2012. how will that affect turnout? the debut today of the brand-new billboard. 2012 style. we've got it all, martha and i will see you in about 11 minutes on "america's newsroom." gives you a 50% annual bonus! so you earn 50% more cash. according to research, everybody likes more cash. well, almost everybody... ♪ would you like 50% more cash? no! but it's more money.

5:54 am
so yeah, i guess that's my new role. >> gretchen: but obviously still interested in you as we just saw. >> luckily. >> gretchen: who wouldn't be? you were describing to me, you really took some time off from your career. >> i did. >> gretchen: you had a son who is now nine. >> i went home to my farm. i was 36 when i had him. so i had done a lot, traveled a lot, made a ton of movies, loved that. and i thought i wanted him to have that as his early memories. i wanted him to go to regular school every day. i wanted to do his cooking. i took a lot of time out and did short time out. it's the first time that i'm back. that was him in india. he helped me turn the hotel pink. he's a fabulous little boy but he wanted me to get back to work. >> gretchen: that's amazing for a nine-year-old. >> he likes to get taken out of school and work in the trailer. he loves it. >> gretchen: the interesting thing is we just talked about
5:55 am
breast cancer awareness. you've been working withesty lauder for 15 years, it's why you and i are wearing pink. we have these pins on. then you also have a wrist ribbon. tell me about that. >> this is because estee lauder's daughter-in-law came up with the pink ribbon in 1993. since then we've given up over 115 million free pink ribbons at every estee lauder concert. anybody anywhere in the world can get it at any counter and pick up a leaflet about breast health and information. >> gretchen: i know your grandmother died of breast cancer. is that why you got involved? >> i did actually. i started work forestee lauder. evan told me about a new research foundation she set up a charity for to support and said would i help. i had just lost my grandmother to breast cancer. what evan told me about personified my grandmother. this is a time when no one spoke about breast cancer.
5:56 am
there was no pink ribbon. it was never on a magazine cover. my grandmother found a lump and didn't tell anyone for a few years because she was embarrassed, ashamed and scared. it's all about not embarrassing. it is frightening, but it's curable if detected early in 98% of all cases. >> gretchen: we've come a long way, but still not a cure. i want to show folks some of the things you can buy to support this mission. right back with elizabeth hurley.
