7:00 am
>> clayton: tomorrow, donald trump, karl rove and actor daniel baldwin will join us. >> alisyn: join us for the after the show now, see you later. >> eric: we start with a "fox news alert." reports of changes to our mail. we're getting word of a big news conference in washington, tomorrow as the united states postal service looks for ways to deal with billions of dollars in debt. good morning, everyone, i'm eric sean and welcome to america's news headquarters, for this sunday morning. >> jamie: i'm jamie colby, great to be back, eric, good to see you, can you believe people still use the mail service with e-mail and details are already leaking out, about how your mail service could change? first the guaranteed overnight delivery could go away and we're also hearing the post office may say it is ending saturday delivery, shuttering more than 250 facilities, cutting 35,000
7:01 am
jobs, aimed at saving around $3 billion. peter doocy live in washington with more on the story. hi, peter. >> reporter: hi, jamie. yeah, the post office gets its way you will have to call ups or fedex or dhl if you want something delivered next day, guaranteed and the spokeswoman told us on monday, tomorrow, we will file with the postal regulatory commission and with the federal register the next day to solicit comments, we are proposing eliminating overnight standards for mail and what does it mean for your average viewer? it means they will not receive mail the day after it was sent, in an overnight standard area, for example d.c. mail to northern virginia to take an additional day and that is an example and you can see there is not a lot of ground between the two and not a lot of ground and will take an extra day and the reason the post office wants to get rid of the overnight guarantees is because it is step one of their plan to try to save money and plan on closing
7:02 am
hundreds of processing facilities and will cut back on processing equipment and will dramatically decrease their fleet of vehicles and will shutter thousands of jobs, as many as 35,000 workers might get fired and the post office doesn't get tax money for operating expenses, that is all paid for by revenue from postage and other things the post office sells and clearly, business has not been good the last few years and the cuts they are pushing for might mark the first time in 40 years the post office will not guarantee next-day delivery and say some mail might make it there the next day but will not be able to guarantee it any longer. >> jamie: of all the times of year, the holiday time, peter, thanks. context on this, a little more, the postal service already closed nearly 190 locations the past five years. and locations in every state except delaware up for closure now and texas has the most, 222 locations, at risk. for closing, and, lots of jobs, at stake.
7:03 am
>> eric: another "fox news alert," new unconfirmed reports from iranian state controlled media a u.s. drone may have been shot down in iran. an iranian military source saying that that drone was down they say with minimal damage and there is no confirmation about it from the u.s. military, of course, we'll be following the developing story, amid the back drop of the iranian nuclear facilities, and the continued defines d defiance of iran. and, there are new concerns about election results in egypt. it looks like the muslim brotherhood has won a majority of seats in parliament. setting off alarm bells, is the success of another islamic party, which reportedly, is even more radical than the brotherhood. what does it mean for the u.s. policy in the middle east and what does it mean for the future of egypt?
7:04 am
john bolton, former ambassador to the u.n. and a fox news contributor joins us as he does, every sunday, at this time. good morning, ambassador. >> good morning. glad to be with you. >> eric: they won 25% of the vote, a quarter. what is is the strict islamic -- does the strict islamic political party mean and what do they want? >> there are a number of them and their representation in the parliament may actually be higher, since we are still in the early stages of vote but it looks likes between 60 and 65% of the parliament could be a combination of muslim brotherhood and these others who are more extreme. let's be clear, the muslim brotherhood was founded by a person from that party and it may be variations on a theme and for those who hope that democracy in egypt would mean a western-style, free, open society, one that would uphold its peace treaty with israel, i think this is very, very bad news. not final, to be sure.
7:05 am
but certainly a bad sign for the direction of the next egyptian government. >> eric: they want to impose sharia law, no loans, no alcohol, no shaking hand with women and want women to wear veils and had women candidates but put photos of flowers over their faces and don't want to show the faces of their women. you are talking about me potentially the most radical conservative islamic state there could be? >> these are the extremists who are content to show their extremism in public. the unknown at this point is how extreme the muslim brotherhood is going to be. now, their face to the world is they are actually moderate islam cy ists and will respect democratic elections and the like and let's understand, they have been repressed 30 years or more, at least since agents of the muslim brotherhood assassinated anwar sadat. hardly a moderate political tactic and though they have had
7:06 am
a moderate face to avoid even further repression, now that they are free of the mubarak government, if they gain power will they revert to their salafis roots and will we see 60%, maybe 2/3 or more of the constitution-writing egyptian parliament under the control of the extremisextremists. >> eric: and what does it mean for israel, for example? >> it can only mean bad news, even some of the pro democratic candidates for president have already said that the camp david accords between egypt and israel will have to be modified substantially. and, that has been a rocky foundation of american efforts at peace and stability in the middle east since 1979. if camp david is in jeopardy, because of egypt's unwillingness to adhere to their commitments, the strategic situation around the middle east changes dramatically and it's not good now, given iran's progress toward a nuclear weapon and continued support for terrorism
7:07 am
and a variety of other things going on. >> eric: the bush administration supported democracy in the middle east and we got hamas in one area and the obama administration, without hosni mubarak, what can the administration do, if anything to provide an islamic takeover of egypt? >> i think there is not much. we should have pushed earlier for postponement of these elections, frankly going back to the time of the the original demonstrations in tahrir square, we shouldn't have thrown hosni mubarak under the bus and we can't roll the clock back. i'm not sure there is much to do but i would pressure, the military, the recipient of enormous amounts of american assistance to do what they can to prevent the islamic extremists from coming to power or exercising it once they get there. the real risk here is that a deal between the muslim brotherhood and the military, which is possible, it will
7:08 am
freeze the pro western, pro democratic forces out entirely, threaten the 8 or 9 million coptic christians in egypt and bring us to a radical islamic state, even faster than we might otherwise. >> eric: a radical islamic state in egypt, the potential prediction from u.s. ambassador john bolton. we'll know more in january. good to see you, thank you. >> jamie: how about this, a world war ii-era bomb is sparking a scare in the germantown. and, the two ton british bomb discovered in the rhein river and authorities are evacuating homes within a one-mile radius as experts prepare to defuse the bomb and it affects 45,000 people and it was discovered two weeks ago, due to low water levels in the river. caused by an unseasonably dry november. nobody knows, really how long it has been there. ♪
7:09 am
>> eric: republican presidential candidate newt gingrich surged to a wide lead in the new iowa poll this morning. he netted 25% of the "des moines register" survey of republican voters an ron paul came in second with 18%. mitt romney, he's third, with 16%, and michelle bachmann taking 8% and herman cain who suspended the campaign yesterday, also, stands at 8%, rick santorum and rick perry seeing 6% and finally, jon huntsman, in there, he has 2% and it is important to note, 11% were undecided with within month to go with the caucuses in january and there is still room for more big shifts in this amazing race. >> jamie: we have seen that happen before, and one of the big questions, which republican benefits most from herman cain's decision to drop his presidential bid? last week rasmussen reports
7:10 am
asked likely g.o.p. voters who they'd support if cain dropped out of the race when speculation began and newt gingrich easily leading the pack, 4 2% of the vote and mitt romney, 19% and the rest of the field, far, far behind. joining us, bob cusack, managing editor of "the hill". who benefits the most in do you agree it is newt? >> i do, herman cain supporters will like what newt gingrich says and, cain supporters want bold, aggressive tax reform, 9-9-9 plan and herman cain against president obama in the polls never showed even at the peak of his campaign he could go toe-to-toe with obama and they are looking for someone other than mitt romney and the next several weeks it will be interesting to see, mitt romney, at the floor or the ceiling? how strong is the "anybody but mitt romney" movement, and, they
7:11 am
are trying to persuade supporters to get the support he needs in the early states and newt gingrich is doing pretty well now. >> jamie: when you say they are looking for a romney alternative, do you mean they are looking for someone not as moderate, more conservative and is the former speaker, newt gingrich, conservative enough? >> that is a big question, jamie. i mean, on immigration, certainly, mitt romney will be talking a lot about that, because he's to the right of gingrich on that issue and he has handled it deftly, a lot better than rick perry did in the debate where that was the beginning of the end for rick perry and newt gingrich said, listen i'm going to explain it and, he's a good debater and that is something that cain eventually will endorse, both newt gingrich and cain are from georgia, and that is worth noting and i don't think you want the cain endorsement now but in several weeks it could be helpful. >> jamie: maybe you want the fund-raising ability. we'll have to wait and see where that goes. when we talk about governor
7:12 am
perry, the -- there's a lot of talk that he did very well, last night, right here with our own governor huckabee. in terms of the debate, which really gave each of the candidates equal time to address key issues to voters and if they were watching would they have walked away with a different perception of perry and cain out of the race at the moment, what does perry do to be a contender with the former speaker, newt gingrich and also with mitt romney? >> i mean, mike huckabee himself said it was perry's best performance and this is the last chance for rick perry, he has had a lot of chances, he stomach buddy, repeatedly, and he has to step up the game, especially in the debates, because the debates are the defining thing of the thing, and, and, romney is a good debater and he'll have to go toe-to-toe and will have to step up his attacks on newt gingrich to gain traction and it is late in the game and rick
7:13 am
perry needs a major surge soon to have a chance in iowa and it comes down to iowa and iowa is up for grabs and if newt gingrich wins iowa, he looks good in south carolina, and, the pressure will be on mitt romney to win new hampshire and kind of big, it is in his backyard and if he doesn't do well there, the whole thing is really up for grabs, between, right now, what is deemed a two-person race between newt gingrich and mitt romney, but a month ago we talked about a two-man race between perry and romney. >> jamie: and we have time left, but it is a key and critical time in the race and i want to ask you, herman cain gave a lot of momentum because he was a business man and not washington as usual and there is no question newt gingrich knows how washington works. with him spending so much time in washington and understanding the needs of our country, newt gingrich, and governor romney having the experience he did with health care, how do they
7:14 am
compare with voters who want more of the same, want something different, someone that understands the economy, they both have that in common. >> they both have business backgrounds, and newt gingrich after his congressional career and the fascinating thing with newt gingrich, he has been in washington for decades but doesn't have a lot of friends in washington. all the endorsements have been going, major endorsements have been going to mitt romney and in a way it could help him portray himself that's outsias the outs. and, mitt romney has run in many offices, to get to washington and newt gingrich has been in washington. >> jamie: that is an interesting distinction you made about the endorsements. i have to leave it there, bob, but i really appreciate your in sight this morning, the last point, very, very interesting. thank you. eric? >> eric: jamie, one of the first major snowfalls of the winter now covered the desert of arizona. the snowstorm hitting the eastern and northern part of the

state. making it a perfect day, as you can see for kids. the storm out west dropping a few inches of snow in some places and other areas getting hit much harder. chief meteorologist and arizona native, rick reichmuth is in the extreme weather center. rick, the cacti will need some help. >> rick: they are fine, a lot of mountains up there, higher elevations, 5,000, 6,000, 7,000 feet and they get the snow, and get it regularly and they have the storm, the same storm, that brought all of the winds earlier this week to parts of southern california and now you see where it is. out across parts of the south. and when you see this kind of picture in texas, right now, it is great news, you love to get rain in texas and they've been dealing with the worst drought and will get nice rain on the eastern side of texas the next 2 days and unfortunately, heading north, places like arkansas, they are water-logged and this much rain here we'll be dealing
7:16 am
with will bring the big threat for some flooding. look at how much rain we are talking about, you see the stripe here, across parts of arkansas. that is going to be maybe 3-6 inches in some cases and that is why people see pretty significant flooding, because of that, all the local and national service offices posted their flood advisories here, across this area, will be the case for the next two days and will take a while -- a slow-moving storm, will not be out to the east coast until we get to thursday. >> eric: we'll watch out for the cacti. >> jamie: worries about wireless connections and would-be moms, we'll ask the doctors in our "sunday house call" how big a deal it is, coming up. >> eric: and started with it exciting fans celebrating a big win an ended with 12 people injured, two in critical condition. we'll investigate how the game got so out of control. that, straight ahead. so who ordered the cereal that can help lower olesterol

>> jamie: welcome back. there are lots of questions today about how a wild celebration went so badly out of control, at a college football game, yesterday. after the final whistle blew, thousands of fans stormed the field and literally tore down the goal posts at the game between oklahoma and oklahoma
7:21 am
state. at least 13 people reported injured including two who are in critical condition and some of the victims were trampled by the crowd, one person said to have fallen 15 feet onto concrete, more on how the chaotic scene unfolded, coming up in the next hour. stay with us. >> eric: breaking news from the campaign trail now, this is happening the last hour or so. fox news sunday host chris wallace interviewed senator tom coburn, an important and influential conservative voice and, he asked the senator if he'd back newt gingrich for president. watch what happens. >> as speaker newt gingrich takes the lead in the republican race, do you still have those questions about his fitness to be president? >> chris, there's a lot of candidates out there. i'm not inclined to be a supporter of newt gingrich as
7:22 am
having served under him four years and experienced personally his leadership. >> why is that? >> because i found it lacking, oftentimes. >> eric: joining us is the anchor of fox news sunday. chris wallace, good morning. only one word on that -- ouch! >> yeah, it was interesting. what happened was, we were -- had booked him to talk about the payroll tax cut and what congress is or isn't going to do, and, over the course of the next month. but, i obviously am interested in any republican where they stand in the field and we have looked back and seen that in march, on c-span, that senator coburn, who as you say is as conservative as they come, particularly on spending issues, had some reservations, and as you can see, kind of had to drag it out of him, not like he's sitting there, campaigning on this. about speaker gingrich and it specifically referred to -- as he said, the four years when
7:23 am
they were both in congress and newt gingrich is the speaker, tom co current as a new member of congress and he said, because -- you know, kind of continued to say, what is the problem, that he feels that gingrich can be brusque and abrupt and is not the type of person who can bring the country together and is not someone who he thinks would make a good president. again, i say, he said it more in sorrow than anger and, reluctantly, but it's an interesting development and, obviously, struck your guys' notice. >> eric: a lot of times politicians say one thing on television and you know what they are like behind the scenes sometimes, especially when he said he experienced his leadership personally and will not back him. some of the bigwigs in washington are not supporting newt gingrich. >> well, and, he has very little support among republicans in congress and in the senate.
7:24 am
and in fairness to speaker gingrich, as they say, the old old cliche, to make an omelette you have to break some eggs and, it is not just that their feelings were hurt, but some people came away wondering whether he's a guy who could lead the country. >> eric: interesting development, part of the mix, as we prepare to go to the polls, for next year. good to see you, thanks so much. for more on his interview with senators tom coburn and kent conrad, tune into fox news sunday, of course, only here on the fox news channel and added bonus! michelle bachmann, also a guest on the program. fox news sunday, 2:00 p.m., and 6:00 p.m., eastern, only here, on the fox news channel. jamie? >> jamie: well, eric, coming up it is sunday house call, there are new reports about a possible danger in a favorite drink you may give your kids and the fda is looking at apple juice, we'll
7:25 am
7:29 am
>> eric: and it is time for "sunday house call," joining us this morning, dr. marc siegel, associates professor of medicine at nyu's medical center, and author of "the inner pulse," unlocking the secret code of sickness and health. >> jamie: a two-fer, eric, and we have dr. davfvid samadi, wit the mt. sinai medical center.
7:30 am
chief of robotics. we're healthier having you here. >> eric: we have important news, serious questions, millions of parents around the country talked about, about a drink that a lot of kids drink. apple juice, a new report found there are high levels of arsenic in apple juice. doctor, what does it mean? should we be afraid? we have talked about this, before we came on and feel we have to put it into context. people are getting scared and i wrote a book about fear, how we get afraid of the wrong things and let's put it into perspective. water is allowed to have ten parts per billion of arsenic because it seems in from the soil to water. especially in the state of ohio. so, people like dr. oz have come along and said, wait, how come you are allowing 23 parts per billion in apple juice? but, eric i want to point out a couple of things. it takes 66,000 parts per billion of arsenic to kill you. studies on arsenic, thinking maybe they could long term cause
7:31 am
cancer, look at over 300 parts per billion. i personally as a practicing doc are much more concerned about the amount of sugar in apple juice than the amount of arsenic, by a land slide, we have an obesity epidemic in the u.s. and i think we're scaring people unnecessarily, and may take the eye off the ball of other things in the environment we need to be concerned about. >> eric: it is overblown, you feel. >> i think it is worth looking into but i think it is overblown. >> jamie: will they, doctor, look into it. >> one of the positive things about the study is the fda will look into what are the upper limits of arsenic. and when talk about the toxin, absolutely, you don't want to panic and look at how much is a dose that you are getting. how often are you getting it and what is the duration and if you are having a glass of apple juice a day, once a week, there is nothing to worry about. we are talking about the children that may be consuming one or two glasses around the message to the parents, there is really nothing to panic. the best way to test arsenic is to get a simple urine test, the easiest way to do this, and you
7:32 am
can check that. we have arsenic in air and i'm worried about the second-hand smoking where we get this and water and its it's. as marc mention the amount of arsenic is so low and putting the medical drama aside and the entertainment and show business aside, really, i think the way it was presented, it was not right and caused a lot of panic and i will tell the parents, right now, this is very small if you are concerned, just call down to the -- >> eric: if the kid drinks a gallon a day... >> but, eric, i agree with the point and would add the fda has to get their standards straight. we all agree on that. but, if the kid is drinking a gallon a day... even if -- which they are not. it is the sugar that hurts you. >> jamie: are there symptoms of arsenic overdosing? >> vomiting, diarrhea and pins and needles, in your fingers and watch out for those and also, limit your children to six ounces of apple juice a day. that's it. end of -- i bet you it will continue a long time but, as of
7:33 am
today, nothing to panic about, the fda is looking at it... >> you will not get the consistency described with that amount of arsenic. >> jamie: all right, we don't want any. good they'll look into it. how about this. there's a study that finds the misuses of common drugs is to blame for a high number of emergency room visits by senior citizens. specifically, diabetes medications and blood thinners. tell us about this. we don't want the elderly the have to go to the emergency room. >> our age, population are getting older and the lists of medication their on are getting longer and longer and there are four medications, coumadin, a blood-think medication and aspirin is in the same family, insulin used for diabetes an oral medications for diabetics. >> why are you concerned about coumadin. >> the safety window of the medication, if you give too much it causes bleeding and don't give enough, you may cause blood
7:34 am
clots. now, the older population, it is difficult for them to really adjust it. so, we as physicians need to pay more attention to them and i have a medical assistant, physician's assistant to help me take care of these patients because you cannot possibly expect an 80-year-old man to -- or woman to really do this. now, an exciting technology that is coming in with diabetes, is this artificial pancreas, it is interesting, because now this pump can find out what the sugar level is in your blood and give you automatic computerized program, insulin and as time goes on we'll take care of this. and his job is difficult, because, as the medical doctor, you really have to deal with this day in and day out. >> he makes a great points the narrow therapeutic window and my patients come in and if they give them too much coumadin or oral agent for diabetes they can have a problem and the study in the "new england journal of medicine" was dramatic.
7:35 am
over 50% of the side effects are from these few drugs, diabetes and blood thinners and so, it is really important for practicing docs like me, that have taken care of the patients to stay on top of this and not let -- >> jamie: monitor. >> and not say good-bye, see you in a month. stay on the dose. that is when you get into trouble. >> eric: really important. all right, thank you. men, want to keep your laptops, put them on your lap, when you do a lot of work or kids doing homework? a new study suggests using wifi could damage sperm and decrease man's fertility. doctor, we have heard rumors, about this, is it a good idea to have the laptop on your lap. >> dr. samadi deals with fertility issues and, i use a laptop a lot and i have a lot of patients who do and it's a preliminary study. literally they took seem men outside the body and we aren't talking about a long term study with a large number of men and it is preliminary and, and before there was another study that looked at heat from the
7:36 am
laptops and anything that applies heat, dr. samadi and i talked about it before it came on, anything that applies heat can affect fertility but overall it is not convincing evidence and i would say if you are using your laptop too much you have another problem besides that. try talking to each other. >> jamie: doctor, the cell phones, also, the radiation and the heat? >> number one this is radiation and also the heat plays a big role and one reason why testicles or sperms are outside the body as opposed to ovaries, they need a lower temperatures by 4 degrees fahrenheit and this is important because the cell phone and the heat can affected and we're guilty of using it and we talked about the cell phone and brain cancer and now the laptop, but, look, you cannot wait for a long term study, we all look for these placebo, double controls and all the stuff but common sense goes far
7:37 am
in life and if you see that it is heating up, it is not a good thing for you, put that aside and the good thing is, they have mobile desks and you can put the laptop to prevent yourself from getting heat and your point is well taken. as of today, there is no scientific data to show that laptops cause infertility or testicular cancer or cell phone causes brain cancer but use common sense. >> and to add, one out of six couples have fertility trouble and a lot go to see dr. samadi or the urologist to figure it out and anything to do to maximize your odds. >> jamie: and, as you said, if you use the laptop, you do have children. brand new research on dangers of playing soccer? yeah, millions of kids love playing the game. parents love to go and watch. but the doctors will tell us about possible medical risks. >> eric: and the gun running sting, fast and furious, that was botched, well, a major hole
7:38 am
is being poked into the account of attorney general eric holder. what he knew about it and when, questions being raised this morning and we'll talk to congressman jason chaffetz of utah, ahead. it's all the same. nothing changes. then try this. freestyle lite® blood glucose test strip. sure, but it's not gonna-- [beep] wow. yep, that's the patented freestyle zipwik™ design. did it just-- [both] target the blood? yeah, drew it right in. the test starts fast. you need just a third the blood of one touch.® that is different. so freestyle lite test strips make testing... easy? easy. great. call or click-- we'll send you strips and a meter, free. free is good. freestyle lite test strips. call or click today.

[ male announcer ] everyone deserves the gift of a pain free holiday. ♪ this season, discover aleve. all day pain relief with just two pills. >> jamie: there's always been a high demand for mental health care and now it is higher. thousands of american troops are returning home from overseas, and, a new study finds a rise in hospital visits, by our veterans, who have post-traumatic stress disorders. doctor, there is no question that this is always -- has always been an issue with the military. is it more now. >> ptsd is on the rise, 16%, and before we could get into the topic, it is our opportunity to really thank what they have done
7:43 am
for us. to make the country safe and, we really owe to it them and the problem is when they come back here, they are dealing with serious and disorders and emotional illness and the hardest part is to recognize that and that is the part that is -- if you are watching the segment, people around the soldiers need to recognize what the signs and symptoms are. usually, they avoid any kind of familial people and areas, easy irritability and get angry fast and want to avoid people, nightmares, insomnia, can't sleep and if you see these signs, depression, you make sure you bring them -- there's a lot of help available to them and, historically, you treat them with anti-depressants and, so zocor and zoloft and paxil and we did a study on a medication that is used for psychosis and,
7:44 am
the general studies didn't show much -- but if you have depression and psychosis, it may help, seek help and bring them in. >> jamie: i want to ask you about physical symptoms from ptsd, in addition to the nightmares, our troops are so brave they may not share the fact they are feeling these things, are there physical symptoms to look a person in the eye and know? >> well, sure, because of the symptoms david said. you are feeling like an out of body experience and having nightmares and insomnia and can easily have a rapid heart rate and high blood pressure from that. you can have a heart attack from that. 200,000 from our war theatre, of the 1.3 million people who served and the primary reason is because we have a heroic army that rein lists, goes back and back and back, and, to give you an idea, 47,000 physical injuries, 200,000 post-traumatic stress disorders, a huge problem.
7:45 am
and, as dr. samadi said, the way to treat it, psychotherapy and anti-depressants and trying the anti-psychotic and if it doesn't go away with a simple treatment, it is a long, long process to reintegrate into society and we saw it in vietnam and we will be seeing it here. >> the first step is to open the door and bring them into therapy. >> jamie: i'll sit down with the secretary of the army, there are question i want to address. >> eric: as much as possible. >> a lot of head injuries, too, equal amount of brain trauma going on. >> eric: well, lipitor, you take it and you know it is one of the world's largest selling drugs and now, it is going generic. big question is, what does it mean and will a generic brand work as well as the original? dr. siegel, better, the same, cheaper? >> i have done a lot of segments, i'm not always pro generic but it depends on the medication and i prescribe a lot of statin drugs which this lipitor or torvastat, is called
7:46 am
and i'm very impressed with how the generics worked. another one, zocor went generic years ago and it looks like the generic was as good. lipitor was a $7 billion drug and pfizer will try to keep the co-pay down to keep at least 40% of the people that are getting it, but i believe that a large number will go over to the generic and i think it is good news for my patients out there. because this is an incredible drug, at protecting the heart and treating people who already have heart disease and reversing the plaque that is forming on the coronary arteries, a great, great thing. >> eric: when do you think it will start? >> it has. >> the patent ended december 1st and this is the mother of medications, and, think of this as ferrari of medications, over 10 billion were sold in 2010 and the best news to happen to a lot of people who could not afford this kind of medication and if you don't have any insurance it will cost you $160 a month, if
7:47 am
you have insurance, the brand will be $50 and generic, $10 and now you can get the medication for $4 a month and some sites, lipitorforyou.com, sign up and ask for it, and as marc mentioned they are trying to keep a lot of patients on the brand medications and that is the best thing to happen. >> and one thing to add. if you can get it on-line make sure your physician is in the loop. we talked about it last week and stay away from internet piracy. >> eric: a wonder drug as they call it. >> jamie: great news, if we don't have your attention, how about this: viagra may have more uses besides the one you know about. an incredible story about how the drug may have saved the life of a baby girl. do you have an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation, or afib, that's not caused by a heart valve problem?

the "wall street journal". they want us to pay more for europe's largesse? >> you put it well. what the people at the imf the institution that would be doing this bailing out of the european banks, will say is that this money will be repaid. i think the american taxpayers understand that by some estimates over a third of that money that will be le t to these european banks a bailout come from the united states taxpayer, from the united states government i'm not sure that plays well given we already have a 1.5 trillion dollar deficit our service. that is going to be a heavy lift for president obama and tim fat geithner to explain to the american people -- time geithner to explain the american people. >> heavy lift? what do you say to us if we have to shell out more? >> to give the president his

due. integrated world economy if europe falls and those banks collapse it could have a reverberation here in the united states and there's some truth to that, no the question is whether the right way to deal with this crisis is to have an institution like the imf bail them out? i've done a lot of work examining the past of the imf. it doesn't have a good track record. i'm not sure this is the best inches to be the firemen institution to be the firstmen rushing to the rescue. >> do you think we'll be paid back? >> reporter: the imf people say we will. they used to say that about tan any may and freddie mac. i call them the imf the fannie mae and freddie mac of lending. in this case, we don't know how much this is going to cost. it could be in the tents of

8:07 am
>> you are right with >> they are used to what they have. they don't want give that up. almost like europeans believe these benefits are a god-given right. the problem is, who is going to pay these bills? it gets to the start of the conversation. it looks like unfortunately, the people who are going to pay these bills are the u.s. taxpayer. >> so we will be on the hook? >> let's hope not. these decisions have not been finalized yet. obama administration and geithner, they want to put the american taxpayer on the hook for these enormous bills when we have bills ourselves to pay. i think the administration understands that. >> they got to get their house in order and we gotta get our house in order too. >> the reason europe is so important, is it is where we are headed. they are three, four years ahead of us. if we don't get our entitlements under control that's why the failure of the super committee is disappointing if we don't

8:31 am
organized this. election came a few months after the revolution. they are the ones best able to take advantage and get their people out to the polls. same like in the united states. a challenge of who can get out the vote the best. obviously, the islamists have done that. the military junta is not very happy with the results but me may end up living with it. going forward the muslim brotherhood has to run the country and remember, it is different being the opposition group which they've been the past 60 years than being in charge and having to now feed 85 million people in a country that is poor. >> how much does this change things in the middle east? >> reporter: it is very difficult to have a crystal ball. this is a big change. even if egypt doesn't go hard-line islamist, it is now in play, no longer a solidly western-friendly ally they've
8:32 am
been having rallies inside of tahrir square have big time anti-american slogans, anti-israel slow again requests. even if they don't cancel the peace treaty with israel, not having them as a solid ally is big. the u.s. gives egypt 2.5 billion dollars a year in military aid, a big carrot for the u.s. to threat tone pull away. it could start a bidding war where iran orca tar can use this to buy an ally or friend -- or qatar can use this to buy an ally or friend in the mideast. >> gentleman president obama said to deliver an economic -- address. the white house says the president plans to discuss economic divisions that leave so many americans falling behind. he has chosen a site in kansas where knee door roosevelt gave a 19 -- theodore rose develop
8:33 am
gave a 1910 speech. roosevelt called it new nationalism. will that shame theme resonate a century later? let's bring in our panel. tony and ryan, welcome. tony what does it mean if a democratic president now a century later trying to take up tr's banner? >> republicans often cite john kennedy the first to espouse the economic principles. there's always going to be inconsistency because things have changed. democrats were the segregationists in the 60s. today you have majorities supporting democrats. i wouldn't read too much into the historical context that is about political theater all president obama has left. his record on the economy is abysmal, particularly with the
8:34 am
middle class-related issues. home val lieus -- values down 33%, gas prices up, inflation on food products up, his recorder is the middle class does not meet the standards all he can do is divide on cultural and class lines. >> ryan political theater? will he be dividing on cultural and class lines? >> he will say our economy is not working for most americans now. it is based on a balance of supply and demand. right now there is no commanda9 -- no demand. the social meant of trickle down economics, eliminating taxes on the rich, hasn't worked. we need americans with money in their pockets, with jobs, so they can go out and spend that's the only thing an is going to kick start our economy that's what president obama is going to say, look we need jobs now,
8:35 am
we've tried the wall street solution. we tried trickle down economics we got a wall street meltdown, bank bailouts, foreclosure epidemic and unemployment emergency. time to try something different and get our country back on track. >> that almost sounds like what roosevelt said he said corporations should be controlled and regular nated. no corp funds should -- corporate financeds should go for political purposes and the stprebg shot down that one offices should be held responsible if they break the law. no anti-trust laws unroosevelt no labor laws, no unionization which at its inception was a good idea. all taxes on the rich republicans want to eliminate. all regulations. that's ridiculous. if president obama is going to try to make that speech after
8:36 am
three years of being president, raising the debt by 40%, spending trillions of dollars we don't have on stimulus programs that do not work he's not going to get far with the american people, particularly with middle class voters so strongly aligning with the republican party as you saw in 2010 this is the fascinating stuff, voters today are more likely to support president obama middle class more likely to support the republican nominee. >> because there's less people in the middle class because of all of these bankrupt policies that republicans and their wall street sponsors have been pushing for decades. they are destroying the meddle class in america. out of the top five stocks retail, three were dollar store, general retail this is like the elimination of the middle class before our eyes. >> the clock is tick. one point i don't think the president will buy up from roosevelt's speech the -- bring up roosevelt's speech,
8:37 am
no man is worth his salt in public life who makes on the stump a pledge which he does not keep after election if he makes such a pledge and does not keep it, hunt him out of public life! lion what about the president's broken -- ryan what about the president's broken promises? >> i think the president has a lot to fix we know that he has passed historic health care reform. put financial -- what he's doing is creating a reversal of the course of our country putting us back on track recreating a middle class because republicans that are sponsored by wall street only want to give tax breaks to millionaires, billionaires and trust fund kids who live off family fortunes who want to keep paying less. >> let's mention this, i'm sure i don't have enough time to make the complete point no president has gotten more from wall street than president obama and events a lot of their interests in this
8:38 am
method that he's adopted. he believes in a system that does not believe in the traditional american middle class. they need people in their society to be takers with few makers that's what you have in europe.
