3:02 am
secret model? >>dave: and governor huckabee and ann coulter. >>alisyn: we will take your vote. >>clayton: what is kiter the president's response to the catholic bishops? we are talking about the contra sent ever issue dave was talking about. we know what happened yesterday. the white house came up with a compromise. there is mentioned reaction. >>alisyn: they called it a a"accommodation," not "compromise." the president got into a predicament. he did not know that it would not cause a firestorm when they announced catholic institutions including hospitals and universities have to provide birth criminal -- birth control
3:03 am
would create a firestorm. some even on the left objected. the president said we have an "accommodation," now. here he is yesterday. >> when you are a teacher or small businesswoman or a nurse or a janitor no woman's health should depend on who she is on where she works or how much money she makes. everyone should be in control of the decisions that affects her health. period. >>dave: here is the fix. rather than requiring the institutions to provide contraception, et cetera, et cetera, the insurance companies are mandated to provide them if the institutions do not, or if they have religious problems with this. there are a lot of problems. they did not involve the insurance companies in the decision. they did not inform them. but the catholic bishops are
3:04 am
still not satisfied. here is the statement they released. "today's proposal involves needless government intrusion in the internal governing of religious institutions and to threaten government coercion of religious people and groups that violate their most deeply held convictions." "we should not be limited to knocking in these parameters, the only complete solution is for hhs to rescind the mandate of the objectionable services e >>clayton: i said mixed reaction because it was. keating was working with the administration, the c.e.o. of the catholic health services. and dolan coming forward saying
3:05 am
it was a good first step. and another bishop saying it was a step if the right direction. >> this is a step in the right direction and hopefully will open up the door to more dialogue on the principles we believe the legislation was undermining. >>alisyn: there will be a political fallout. for the last week the candidates made a lot on this saying the president is so out of town with religious institutions and getting momentum on the trail. >>clayton: people are saying you can look at rick santorum's surge playing up this issue coming at a right time for rick santorum. >>dave: but he downplayed the impact not single, he thought it had little to do with his subject. more the team he spent in the
3:06 am
states and campaigning throughout minnesota, colorado, and missouri. we will see on this. it clearly is not over. what does it mean for the insurance? who pays? probably all of us. they will pass on the costs. >>alisyn: and the political conserve testify action conference is underway in washington, dc where the going candidates were. mitt romney and newt gingrich focused their attacks not on each other but on probe. >> for three years we have suffered law the failures of a weak leader and a bankrupt ideology. i'm convinced if with do our job, if we lead with conviction and integrity history will record the obama presidency as the last gasp of liberalism's
3:07 am
greater failure and a turning point for the conservative era to come. newt gingrich by january 20th when i am sworn in it will repeal obamacare and dodd-frank. by the time president obama lands in chicago we will have repudiated 40 percent of the government on the opening day. >> health care is impossible to repeal on the first day. it will last years. and rick santorum speaking on the attack after mitt romney, but not naming him saying someone from massachusetts comparing romney care to obamacare. >> who has supported the step child of oh -- obamacare
3:08 am
building the largest health care system in the united states. someone who would simply give that issue away in the fall. give the issue away of government control of your health. >>dave: rick santorum surging in the polls but he will have to explain his endorsement of romney in 2008 when he said he is the candidate would will stand up for conserveative principles. >>clayton: in colorado and men and women and missouri people believe the fighting between mitt romney and newt gingrich allowed rick santorum to come in. >>alisyn: how often do you think romney said conservative at the conference? we will show you how many time. let us do the math for you.
3:09 am
>>clayton: one of you mentioned president obama made good news and this could be as a result of the poll numbers. >>dave: interesting fox news on friday afternoon has the president matching up well with any of the republican con dates. namely mitt romney is the closest to the president at 47 percent and 42 percent and the president is subjecting. you can see the matchup with paul, santorum and gingrich, they all remain 38 percent, the president is in if -- in pretty good footing. but it is early. >>alisyn: hard to know if that is the economy has shown better numbers than expected. or because of the republican infighting. so he is the unintentional recipient of the good will. we have a fox news alert.
3:10 am
iran's president is promising a major announcement on their nuclear program. mahmoud ahmadinejad commenting dug a rally this morning honoring the 33rd anniversary of the islamic revolution. he said iran would "never shield," to western pressure. the united states and the allies claim they are on the verge of creating nuclear weapons. president obama has promised to use any means necessary to prevent that. >> new evidence surfaced in the botched christmas day underwear bomb case. according to a memo from the justice department american born cleric anwar al-awlaki personally directed the failed attempt to blow up a u.s.-bond plane on christmas day in 2009. he was always a suspect before he was killed by u.s. drones. this new information comes ahead of the sentencing for the
3:11 am
nigerian man who add meted he tried to blow up the flight over detroit with a bomb hidden in his pants. >> republicans are not the only ones taking a message to cpac. hundreds of occupy protesters causing a scene outside the conservative conference in washington, dc, last night. many blasting republicans for giving tax breaks to the so-called 1 percent but do not be fooled, one protester claims he and the colleagues were paid to participate by their local labor union. wear their motive they will be back at it this morning for final day. >> a young main receives the third highest medal after an incredible story. the 22-year-old sergeantent was
3:12 am
hit by a rocket propelled grenade but refused to leave the battlefield. instead he gathered his fellow troops and led a counterattack. for that, he was awarded the silver star yesterday in california. >> during a 60's hour -- during a six hour engagement he pursue ed the enemy force and after being attacked he personally led the squad counterattack by assuming a point and closing in on the enemy pausing long enough to destroy enemy flying position. >>alisyn: his father said he has wanted to be a marine sense -- since he was a toddler. >>clayton: what did you want to be when you are ad it her? >>alisyn: in the brady bunch. >>dave: the new white house policy on contraception says the insurance companies have to foot the bill.
3:13 am
does everyone's premium go up? >>clayton: daughter's laptop, meet daddy's gun.
3:14 am

3:15 am
3:16 am
>>dave: the white house coming up with a compromise to a policy that would require religious employers to provide contraceptives. >> if a woman's employer is a
3:17 am
charity or hospital with a religious objection to providing contraceptive services, the insurance company, not the hospital, not the charity, will be required to reach out and offer the woman contraceptive carefree of charge. >>dave: my guest says we could foot the bill for the coverage. the c.e.o. and chairwoman of ama productions and a business cope. who will pay for this? >>guest: good question. >>dave: these are not free. >>guest: no such thing as free so many will pay for this, business owners will pay, and us, just as citizens will pay for it. >>dave: because costs will trickle down and turn this over to the consumer? >>guest: not only that, not just costs we are talking real cost because what they just said
3:18 am
actually is not excusable. >>imus: why? >>guest: they did not consult the industry. they made a rule but did not talk to the person who is supposed to implement it they do not know how the system works. that is a nightmare. and lots of paperwork because you created a subcommittee in a group. so in business you do that you will fail. it is all or nothing. you cannot do that in business. it is difficult to manage. now i can say if i am this group i have to pay but if i am that group you have to pay? i am that group now. that is hard to monitor. >>dave: you will punt if you are an institution. he did not consult anyone in the industry, the insurance company. the hhs says premiums will not go up. but here is one group.
3:19 am
"health plans have long offered contraceptive coverage as part of comprehensive benefits to improve patient health and reduce health care cost groups. we are concerned about the precedent." meaning you could man date an entire industry to provide something. >>guest: that is where it is not only overreaching but the reality is, well, how will we be able to make that happen? how can we be able to now monitor that. what responsibilities have been forced upon us? now that is not my responsibility but now it is. you have an administration nightmare. that nightmare will cost over and above what is allocated in administration. so now this is complicated and the price is going up and we already have the highest premiums, ever, and now it is
3:20 am
more expensive and new it is really more expensive and we have a big portion here of people who are not happy. i am just talking about the logistics. >>dave: thank you, it may not be business friendly. should illegal immigrants be given an option to stay and live in the united states? you enjoye when you know it's just about over? then you belong at bass pro shops for big savings, like

3:25 am
executive order allowing local law enforcement to enforce the immigration law which we did in arizona state senate. >>clayton: do you support the position of self deportation which was derided by many? >>guest: why think anyone thinks we will have some kind of round up and we will go out and grab people and deport them. i agree with governor romney the people, illegal aliens will self deport if they cannot find work. they have tried to do employer sanctions in arizona. you take away the opportunity to work they will self deport. we have seen that with the bad economy. the numbers have been reduced in arizona especially because we are so close to the border. >>clayton: the white house says in 2 1/2 years they deported more illegal immigrants in the united states than
3:26 am
president bush in two informs according to i.c.e. numbers. do republicans have a leg to stand on when they talk about being tougher than president obama? >>guest: if they physical -- physical through with the promises they would be tougher. president obama spent a majority of time suing arizona. the sheriff has limited a program so the sheriff cannot check who is illegal and that arms those in arizona. >>clayton: and newt gingrich mentioned it was going to provide a path to citizenship saying you will not round up grandmother whose have lived here for 25 years. how does that resonate in arizona? >>guest: well, i looked on newt gingrich's website and he talks about a pathway to legal
3:27 am
izing. so we don't like a pathway to citizenship. we opposed senator kyl in 2006 when he was pushing a bill we thought was amnesty. we do not think illegal aliens deserve a pathway to citizenship, they should be sent home and apply for immigration legally. >>clayton: thank you, state senator in arizona. ron, thank you for joining us. >>guest: thank you. >>clayton: coming up the stars have realigned and now they are not in the president's father and the big dollar hollywood buddies are back in town. >> it is not enough to -- it is enough to make teenage girls cringe daughter's laptop meet daddy's gun. what did she do? my name is robin.

4:05 am
>>alisyn: the president will release the budget plan on monday. and the movie "red tails," is about the tuskegee airmen but that message was lost. the dallas, texas school board took 6,000 students to see the movie, just the males, telling the girls they had to stay in class saying the girls would not enjoy the movie. and many parents are up and air and an original tuskegee airmen is calling that decision "ridiculous," and skim -- discriminatory. >>alisyn: what happened if they left the guys back for "sex and the city." >>clayton: parents who have written to the city. >>dave: i would have written

them a check. the president makes big changes to that contraceptive legislation, a mandate that all catholic institutions had to to part provide the contraception to their employees. and now they are not calling it a compromise but calling it an "accommodation," because now the ice -- insurance companies have to provide contraception. >> whether you are a teacher, nurse, janitor, no woman's holt should depend on who she is or where she works owe how much she makes. everyone should be in control of the decisions that affect her own health. period. >>clayton: it has been a mixed response. some catholic, some prominent catholics are saying this is a step not right direction and others say it did not go far
4:07 am
enough and a statement from the bishops saying it does not go far enough say the proposal continues to involve needless government intrusion in the internal governance of government institutions and groups to violate their deeply held conviction. in a nation dedicated to religious liberty as its founding principles but should not be ... the solution is for hhs to rescind the mandate," after objecting to the rule forcing private plans to cough the -- cover the contraception. now, part of the providing of services goes to the insurance and the immoral part is taken out, in part, some say, because it is now the religious institutions can step back. >>alisyn: sort of. i interviewed the catholic
4:08 am
league and he was livid. even if you are not firsting catholic institutions or universities they often use catholic insurers and his organization uses christian brothers, so you force christian brothers to provide the service and he said this is not a solution on any level. >> perfect example of how we have not gone through all of this. he still is not quite stopped the outrage. petroleum were furious about the "mandate," aspect. >>clayton: liberals were outset the president did not take the step initially such as hawaii which has the compromise which is tricky accounting gimmick. and dallas bishop says this is a step in the right direction. >> this is a step in the right direction and hopefully will open up the door to die hog, to

moore -- to more dialogue that this legislation was undermining. >>alisyn: this is far from over. >>dave: we would like to hear how you feel. is this accommodation satisfying everyone? will you still pay higher fees? >>alisyn: and now, rick santorum, after the sweep of colorado, minnesota, and missouri, he has shot up. the fundraising has shot up and he takes officer stage, the position he always wanted, at cpac yesterday. and now this poll. >>clayton: this is february 8-9 showing a dead heat right now between rick santorum and mitt romney for first place.
4:10 am
and this is interesting as we head into michigan, the home state of mitt romney, and arizona. >>dave: if you take the poll from february 6 and 7, rick santorum trailed mitt romney significantly but he made up 20-point gap after the wins in missouri, minnesota, and colorado. what does it say? that the entire country is waiting, and when they saw him get the three wings they jumped on board. $3 million after three days. >>alisyn: rick santorum has always claims he is the real conservative. more than newt gingrich or romney. >> we talk about how we get the moderates. why would an undecided voter vote for a candidate of a party when the party is not excited about that candidate? we need conservatives now.
4:11 am
to rally. for conservatives. to go into november. to excite the conservative base. to pull with that excitement moderate voters and to defeat president obama in the fall. >>clayton: and former massachusetts governor mitt romney also speaking at cpac invoking the work "conservative," criticizeing president obama two weeks ago in a concession speeches after the missouri, minnesota, and colorado caucus and he says the president gets in front of the fake columns and uses a teleprompter to speak and yesterday he was in front of fake columns using a teleprompter to say this. >> conservative movement top recruiter. >> conservatives all agree, we conservatives conservatism.
4:12 am
i have lived conservative. conservatives. conservatives. conservatives. conservatives. this is why we are conservatives. >>alisyn: we are not replying those. those were individual times. if you lost track at home that was 29 times. >>clayton: i brought up the teleprompter because though were prepared remarks. they were put in there to drive home the word "conservative," but not quite the set up as the obama administration. >>dave: he said he was severely conservative governor in massachusetts made rush limbaugh yesterday say i have never in my life been abled severely conservative and not sure what it means. >>alisyn: it conjures an illness. it is not a positive modifier.

political mud slinging become? a presidential historian looks back at the history of dirty politics. nice to see you. everyone thinks this is the dirtiest in history but back in the early 1800's the dirtiest campaign in american history? >>guest: the first negative campaign was 1796, adams versus jefferson and adams was the president and jefferson was vice president, the only time in history they have challenged each other and jefferson hired the first political hatchet man who started smears about adams and was jailed for slandering adams. so, negative politics is not new. >>clayton: and the dirty campaigns was salacious and the johnson and goldwater and the daisy ad. why was this ad considered so dirty and so strong?
4:18 am
>>guest: it was powerful. it ran one time in early september, 30-second ad and played into the worst fears of goldwater he was unstable and would start world war 3 so the little girl, it aired one time and it devastated goldwater. >>clayton: we all remember the atomic bomb. >>guest: mondale tried to use it against reagan but it was a flop. >> we remember the hillary clinton and obama on the democratic side with dirty mud slinging and the three day ad, was that dirty? >>guest: it was effective because it played interest obama's weakness which was inexperience. if you watch the ad hillary clinton never mentioned obama by name which makes it more potent and play toddler strength and weakness a sign of a great ad
4:19 am
and he tried to answer with his own 3:00 a.m., ad and john mccain wrought it up in the general election. a very powerful ad and helped health care turn the tide. >>clayton: and we heard the employee back at nbc footage used from brokaw against newt gingrich, a romney ad about newt gingrich, effective run in florida, as well. why is this effective? why is it dirty? it was real aired footage. >>guest: romney needed to do something after south carolina. it is tom brokaw's words, 30 seconds from the lead of the notely news in 1997 and romney did not have to say anything. he got a lot of push back and he was asked to take it down which made the ad more potent and many credit with turning around
4:20 am

>>alisyn: there is now compromise to president obama's contraceptive mandate. >> the results will be that religious organizations will not have to pay for the services and no religious institution will have to provide the services directly. let me repeat, the employers will not have to pay for or provide contraceptive services but women would work at the institutions will have access to free contraceptive services just like other women. >>dave: some say the "accommodation," does not go far enough. here is radio talk show host, good morning, sir, you will speak at cpac later this afternoon. get some coffee. you were raised in a roman catholic family and home. what do you hear? what do you think of this process and how the president clearly misgauged the catholics. >>guest: do you thing he
4:25 am
misgauged? the first thought that comes to mind is if you are an american and you are a roman catholic, is this what you voted for when you voted for president obama, people? because for president obama to try to first and impose on the roman catholic faith in particular this type of questioning of one self about what is right or wrong or, really, if you are a roman catholic this should be off the table because this type of conversation is sin according to the fed so, now, president obama is trying to dictate what is in his opinion is right and wrong, and what is or isn't correct according to that faith. now, that is serious constitute, guys. >>alisyn: having said that, ten oats are not always what is practiced and 50 percent of
4:26 am
catholic women do believe employers should cover contraception so is this about the catholic leadership or catholics in america? >>guest: well, 58 percent of the women have expressed that opinion that is one thing but i don't think that gives the president the right to try to first and impose what he thinks is more correct according to this idea. so, in other words, if i'm the parent of kids or i'm the leadership of the roman catholic church, that is probably going to be more of a majority of the number you just gave, what about those folks? and what is crazy to me more than anything else, at this time in his presidency, just cover of "new york times" today, why enforce this time of will when it look like thick are getting better with the economy and
4:27 am
behind close doors you have advisors saying maybe we ought to back off and relax. who is president obama that he forces these type of things on the american public? >>dave: the women in the cabinet convinced him this was the right mood and you are speaking later today about engaging america through conservative pop culture and speaking to the youth. i am curious as far as the candidates that are there they spoke on friday and ron paul not there, is this the build suspects, or any of the candidates exciting you? >>guest: well, listen, between romney, gingrich and santorum, a lot of eyeballs not just because he won the last three states, a lot of people are really waking up and smelling the coffee about rick santorum, he has been in the background and he has played this whole process very well and it will be very interesting to
4:28 am
see regardless of romney and his money and that power it will be interesting to see how santorum now can take this momentum and really get his message out there and let the american people know who he is. >>alisyn: we will hear look to hearing how your pop culture goes. tell your brother to stop battling hannity. what's on with that? the police chase will blow your mine, six armed crooks run into a burning house and vanish without a trace and serious stuff here.

or a model of facebook parenting. why did he unload the whole clip in >>alisyn: he was angry. >>dave: after providing everything for your kid you can understand the frustration and they turn around and they complain. >>clayton: he posted a facebook update later it got 9 million views and the update he posted was he and his daughter came to an understanding she realizes the error of her ways and the words she says have a negative impact on others and she will work to improve this and earn money to get her laptop back. and i learned from our viewers it is not a clip but on the .45 it is a "magazine." >>dave: and iran's president is talking about plans to go nuclear. >>alisyn: peter? >>peter: a few hours ago the
4:36 am
president of iran, mahmoud ahmadinejad, got up in front of 30,000 people if tehran, all gathered to celebrate the 33rd anniversary of the islamic revolution and standing in front of a model of the american can drone that crashed in iran last year, ahmadinejad told the crowd that iran will "never yield," to western countries trying to stop the nuclear program. and they will not give up their uranium enrichment and iran will make an important announcement on the nuclear project in the next couple of days. we did not know what the announcement will be. president mahmoud ahmadinejad did not give mr. dales and we have to wait and see. while we do, in the meantime, the pentagon has asked congress to reallocate $81 million for urgent upgrades to their bunker buster bombs and defense appropriators have agreed to the request. you can see our military is trying to make sure that 20 of the 30,000 bombs are ready for
4:37 am
battle, the beener busters are the largest nonnuclear weapons in the arsenal and a general says they are not necessarily tied to iran, but, a pentagon spokesman did say that the $81 million upgrit -- upgrade is needed and are designed to target bunkers and tunnels. iran said they would start enriching uranium at an underground facility in the mountains and that facility is believed to be out of the bomb's reach. when you add it together is very net worthy. >>alisyn: scary stuff. and now news. she has been missing for ten days, but a father says he still is optimistic that police will fiend his daughter. the 18-year-old from alaska vanished on wednesday, reportedly abducted from the
4:38 am
coffee stand where she worked and family and friends have camped out in a motor home outside that area handing out flyers and will hold a vigil down. >> this sounds like a movie plot from hollywood. six armed robbery suspects vanish in a cloud smoke. this started when police chased robbers to a home in california and the stand off lasted sex hours before the home caught fire. and when they extinguished the fires, the police entered but the suspects were gone. we will keep you posted as this story developed. so the only way to get rid of a dirty teacher was to pay him off? the teacher in the center of a sex scandal abuse in california he was given $40,000 from the los angeles school direct to
4:39 am
leave quietly. he was removed from the classroom over a year ago but received the money to drop an appeal of his firing. school leaders say this is the "most immediate way to guarantee he would not be able to threaten any other students." >>alisyn: people in houston have to avoid a runaway horse. he was tying up the traffic. police were able to get the horse and return him. in word how he got loose. he is not talking. no one was hurt. >>clayton: the she secret to get mr. ed to talk was to give him peanut butter. >>dave: that works. and now maria here for rick with
4:40 am
a friend this morning. >> good morning, guys, i have a friend. this is bryce from the pet expo from new jersey and he is dressed as a hotdog with his mustard on him and his hotdog bun wrapped around him and he does not enjoy the weather too much in income city. and further after i -- neither am i. it is mostly snow but not sticking. temperatures are too warm, right around freezing at 33 degrees in new york city so no accumulation. maybe 1" and i would not count on it. the snow is well-off shore so accumulation is not a big deal on the 95 corridor but maine could pick up half a foot of snow and behind the system, very cold arctic air moving in, as far south as parts of florida
4:41 am
and we could have temperatures right around freezing and there is a hard freeze warning in effect across portions of the florida panhandle. so below freezing is not good for them. to the west, unsettled and light snow for the rockies but we could have snow as the system heads east across portions of the central plains monday into tuesday. >>alisyn: adorable, maria, with the pigs and puppies. coming up on the show are black americans finally free at last? my guest says not close. many remain slaves to the government. he is on a mission to change that once and for all.

4:46 am
dave? >> black history month and as we know the contributions of african-americans some say there is still racial division not for reasons you might expect. take a listen. >> somehow down racial lines we are still divided but the question has to be, why? they get their power by letting them feel empowered. >>dave: the rove -- reverend is here to tell about a new documentary "runaway slave." you have angered many with what you are saying and labeled by some as "a sell out." how do you feel about that label? what is your mission? >>guest: my mission is to make
4:47 am
certain that black folks know america is an exceptional country and without that type of attitude you can never overcome the bonds of the past. >>dave: what has been the reaction showing this at cpac and has it been mixed reaction? >>guest: it is always mixed around racial lines and our core groups are, of course, white conservatives. and i must say, we had a standing room only crowd at cpac and the ovation was around three minutes. >>dave: what is the problem that you are trying to make black americans aware of? i should point out 96 percent of the black vote went to president obama in 2008 and 91 percent
4:48 am
still approve of his work today. >>guest: that's an indication of, as herman cain said, underfire, and evidence of brain washing. this country was settled by people who took chances. chances to runaway from whatever was enslaving them. whether it was king george or the plantation. you have to take the chances and secure the opportunity that only america offers all of its citizens. >>dave: black unemployment remains north of 15 percent, twice the rate of whites in this country. so, what should they do? what are they missing? are you trying to say this is some fault of the black people themselves?
4:49 am
>>guest: no, the fault is this. there has been a mentality that has presented to a certain segment of the people, black people in more, that someone does have their foot on your neck. this, in fact, is the challenge, that america has offeredden that has ever come here, whether you are in shackles or whether you came on the may flower there was still hurdles to overcome to security the blessing of liberty so unemployment must be overcome by ingenuity. someone said, i believe it was the chairman of the black
4:50 am
caucus, if this particular figure was as high as it is under a white president, then folks would be marching in the street. this is truly evidence that this has become a race baiting issue. >>dave: check out the documentary "runaway slave," live in washington, dc this morning. thank you for being us with. the president reversed course on his contraception mandate but are the catholic leaders buying it? one of them is here like at the top of the hour, and, place your bets, the dogs are about to run their buns off. trying to beat the pigs. emily's just starting out... and on a budget.

dave here are the dogs are they going to race this morning? >>clayton: here they go. >>dave: it is quick. >>clayton: they were fast. >>dave: the pigs got to eat. >>clayton: they are all wearing the same costume so it is hard to tell who won. >>dave: the dogs are far faster than the pigs. that is clear. >>clayton: we have pigs and dogs but we have governor huckabee and ann coulter. allegation can you give us an impersonation? >> i know you fell off of a goat as a country pumpkin. >>dave: this is from "perfect stranger," so stick around, friends. >>alisyn: we start with fox news alert because is iran's president about to reveal his
5:03 am
nuclear playbook? ahmadinejad idea vowing today to make a major announcement on the country's nuclear aspirations. speaking during a ceremony marking the 33rd anniversary of the islamic revolution. he said they would never yield to pressure from the west and israeli leaders and president obama have promised to use any means necessary to prevent iran from creating nuclear weapons. there is significant new intelligence that has been revealed in the botched christmas day plane bombing, a memo from the justice department claims american born cleric anwar al-awlaki personally directed the failed attempt to blow up the u.s.-bound plane back in 2009 before al-awlaki was killed he reportedly communicated directly with the failed nigerian bomber and they exchanged e-mails and text messages and met in person
5:04 am
reportedly. this information comes ahead of the sentencing for the fail bomber and he admitted he tried to blow up the flight over detroit with a bomb hidden in his pants. republican candidates are not the only one taking the message to cpac hundreds of occupy protesters causing a scene outside the conference in washington, dc, blasting republicans for gifting tax breaks to the so-called 1 percent, but do not be fooled by the outrage, one protester told a reporter that he and the buddies were paid to participate by the labor union. >> are you getting paid? >> we all get paid. >> how much? >> $60 a head. all the people out of work right now on the bench and out of a work a week or two, something like that. >>alisyn: the protesters will be back at it this morning for cpac's final day. >> allegation, meet blue ivy
5:05 am
carter, the baby of beyonce and j-z, their daughter is just a month ago, and has seen her name trademarked but they are not looking for money and they did not sell the photos, they came for free to the world. >>clayton: i like that. they letten see them. >>dave: they had to. they took some heat shutting down the hospital. and after an uproar from conservatives and liberals alike, and especially the catholic church, the white house reversing on a policy that would have required religious employers to provide contraceptives to their female employees. >> if a woman's employer is a charity or a hospital with a religious objection to providing contra superintendentive -- contraceptive services the
5:06 am
insurance company, not the charity will be required to offer the woman carefree of charge for contraceptions. >>dave: our guest says we need to look at this with a level of caution. >>clayton: the chairman of the u.s. conference joins us live to talk about it. nice to see you, bishop. >>guest: great to be with you, thank you for having me. we played what the president said on friday and we want your response. is this a continue deal for you guys now? >>guest: no, no, not a done deal. look, we got even's attention. we have been in favor of access to health care but we got significant concerns with the new rules. and we think there needs to be a legislative fix to protect our religious liberties. >>alisyn: you think it is too soon to tell what this means? he announced this accommodation
5:07 am
or compromise yesterday. do you have a sense for what it means for employees moving forward at catholic universities or hospitals? i talked to to bill donohue yesterday and he said some places are insured by catholic insurers so it is sticky. >>guest: listen, we don't have the whole thing in writing. it just came yesterday. it requires significant more am more moral analysis but the mandate is there to provide abortion inducing drugs and contraception. it should be rescinded. and catholic charities and institutions are self-insured. that present as significant problem. third, there are religious
5:08 am
insurers. finally, it seems that individuals and private employers with objections are still out in the cold. >> are you urging the catholic church to continue speaking out about this specifically on sunday mass? and what is the next step beyond that? >>guest: absolutely. our first amendment, religious rights, are far too precious to be entrusted to regulation. we have to get behind the rights of conscience act, introduced by a representative and i would certainly urge catholics and other people of good will or religious interfaith to keep the pressure up on congress to pass the bill. we have to protect our first amendment rights.
5:09 am
we have to guard against government intrusion into the internal life of churches and our beliefs. >>clayton: bishop, thank you for joining us this morning on this ongoing discussion. >>alisyn: so, yesterday one of the big pieces of news was this new $25 billion deal the president announced they were going to help people who are facing foreclosure. so, banks, five banks, are held responsible for people who are teetering on the edge or whose mortgages were underwater, relief for people who found themselves this trouble. >> and $17 billion would go to help people modify their mortgages and whatever is left over, the $8 billion goes to handing out $1,500 to $2,000 a
5:10 am
family. you could be one out of ten individuals that would get that money so it is not, $90 billion underwater, this is $25 billion it does not address the big issue. >>dave: and it is ironic because freddie mac and fannie mae pushed these mortgages on to the banks and they were forced to overload because of the government urging everyone to have a home and another twist, who is making money off of the $22 billion? who else? warren buffett because he has massive investment in bank of america, a bank that had to pay part of $25 billion and their stock went way up and his take was $154 million. >>alisyn: how is he always positioned to make millions and
5:11 am
millions and millions of dollars he bought at $7 or less a share, and now he made $154. so when he because it he was in the hole and it is expected other large banks may join in on the deal because it seems to be a great deal for the banks getting them off the hook for a lot less money and the shareholders will foot the bill. >>dave: and in the shot term the foreclosures could spike because the banks have been inundateed over this. >>clayton: we would love to hear how you and your family have been affected. the dark side of the mexican drug trade we will take you deep into the tunnel that criminals used to bypass border security. we will meet the sheriff working

5:15 am
>>dave: you have seen them before but not like this. secret underground drug tunnels used to immigrants and narcotics into the united states. >>clayton: the largest ever bound from mexico to san diego. with lights. and air conditioning. and this was 90' below the ground. how does this happen? and now the sheriff coming to us from arizona. how does that happen? >>guest: well, often because we do not visually see the criminals. this was not a normal tunnel. there have been 100 plus tunnels
5:16 am
found recently. but this actually goes 90' or nine stories beneath the ground. and it had hydraulic lift or elevator that would go down and they used in the warehouse district in mexico to the warehouse district in san diego, so, quite extensive with power lines and telephone lines and this is 4' wide and 6' tall so 24/7 you can imagine the amount of drugs they smuggled into the united states without directly line of sight surveillance. >>dave: so how is this used as a tool in preventing this trade from continuing? how do you train others? >>guest: certainly this has been used now to train border patrol to look at the techniques where we brought a heavy hand enforcement against the drug cartels of mexico, billions and
5:17 am
billions worth of business. so we have to become smarter and this brings new meaning to the criminal element going under ground and we look and use criminal informants and track drug loads because they have to transport from warehouses to points of distribution to go throughout the united states. when we arrest those victims and gain intelligence or information and we can backtrack to the locations and be able to pull the screen back and to find the elaborate tunnels. >>clayton: the infighting in the g.o.p. related to the immigration battle. you have heard the criticism from newt gingrich on mitt romney with the self deportation comments and romney, his arguments against newt gingrich on the ideas of pathway to citizenship or legality there. does this infighting hurt the candidates going forward? >>guest: well, at cpac in
5:18 am
washington, dc, today, there is a lot of different feelings in the republican party. i believe not end it strengthens our nominee because we further fine tune not only our message that we start of the core issues which is the economy and jobs and any of our candidates would be far better than president obama the he needs to be fired. on the immigration issue, certainly, mitt romney is the strongest because when you look at newt gingrich, although i like him, he is the one would voted in 1986 for amnesty for to million can talking about people being here 20 or 25 years and maybe we should not send them become or, maybe, how can we be heartless and have it them from their families. i got a problem with that as a sheriff i enforce all the laws and that is what we need to do not subscribe to that liberal philosophy of, well, the people in the compassion, we are the most compassionate and generous
5:19 am
people on the face of of the earth. >>dave: and rick santorum's surge. do you thing it will last? >>guest: i saw him yesterday here at cpac and he is a great former senator i don't know that he has the legs in order to win this nomination, certainly. mitt romney, not only his logistics and all of the states, but the ability to sustain that fight and not just to have this whole social versus economics, how we win this contest is on the economy. we have to get people back to work and get government out of the private sector, out of the taxing and regulating our economy. >>clayton: thank you, sheriff. enjoy cpac in washington. >>dave: is bad parenting to blame for kids with adhd? the doctor who says "yes," and the mother who wants to defend
5:20 am
her record. a lot of patients are using toothpaste to clean their dentures. you really want to be careful, you can't use something as abrasive as a toothpaste because it will cause scratches. as a result of those scratches, bacteria will get lodged in that denture and as they multiply in the mouth the odor can get stronger. i always advise my patients to use polident. it has specific agents in it that can kill bacteria. using polident daily, you definitely will not be creating the scratches. you're going to have a fresh bright smile, and you're going to feel confident.

>>dave: they say the proof is in the pictures. new satellite showing what is believed to be syrian tanks surrounding apartment buildings in the city of homs. the syrian government said they are not attacking opposition forces in the city but the pictures tell a different story. >> firefighters rescuing eight
5:24 am
fishermen from a floating chunk of ice in near white out conditions. the ice broke away from the store in wisconsin and traveled 1,000' the no one was hurt. >>alisyn: listen to this story, more than five million children have been diagnosed with adhd but, today, a new study suggests it is not a medical problem. it is about bad parenting. and debating this is a speech pathologist whose nine-year-old son has adhd. and, psychiatrist and fox news contributor. thank you for coming in. this obviously is a sensitive topic. do you have a child diagnosed adhd and this studies show from the university of minnesota they followed 200 kids, and all of the kids were born into poverty and the researchers found years later when they were in first or 6th grade 14 percent had a
5:25 am
diagnosis of adhd and they concluded this was really about coming from a dysfunctional home and bad parenting rather than brain or medical problem. that has to hit home with you. >>guest: well i have no doubt coming from a disadvantaged home can cause all kinds of difficulties for children. emotional. and behavioral. but that is separate. >>alisyn: doctor, what do you think? >>guest: well, here is the thing. it isn't separate and apart from adhd but labels given by the american psychiatric association and now they want to call grief an illness so the legallies are suspect. but accept that adhd exists. i treat it all the time. and there are likes that are chaotic and things that children do not want to pay attention to like abuse and neglect and having boundaries violated and their brains are accustomed to
5:26 am
not focusing on that. the first question i think of when people come to my office with adhd, let me figure out what about this person's life would he or she not have wanted to focus on growing up? where is the pain? >>alisyn: what do you think of that? you saying maybe it could be a combination of things, of the only household environment and something medical? >>guest: well my son began developing symptoms as early as infant and it was clear he was suffering. and as a good parent when your child is in pain you want to do whatever you can to alleviate the suffering and he clearly was in emotional pain. >>guest: well, everything --. >>alisyn: does that mean, doctor you put him on drugs? >>guest: we spent years on therapy and i was home with him
5:27 am
all time and we did everything we could to avoid putting him on drugs but when we finally had an excellent psychiatrist, child psychiatrist would helped us we put him on a mild dose and it made an enormous change coupled with behavioral intervention. >>alisyn: that is fascinating, right, doctor, because if it is not medical why would mode work? >>guest: because medicine would bees for lots. you speed up the brain, sure, you will allow that person to move forward without some of the anxiety and doubts and i am not saying there is not a final keith pay that is neurological. i tell my parents you are depressed you may have worn out your nervous system living through what you lived through. if you listen to your ghost, if you listen to susan, everything she says is an attempt to not take any responsibility at all and do some introspection. it happened from infancy, it is
5:28 am
a diagnosis of adhd, different than if it is a life story issue. it can be partly genes and can be chemical, but why not say, wait, did we see how create an environment that was conducive to the development? >>alisyn: susan? >>guest: well, i am happy to say anything i could do to alleviate my child suffering there is no ocean i would not swim through or no fire i would not go through to try to make that happen. so i feel confident my husband and i did everything we could to create a very happy warm environment for him. >>alisyn: there you go, we have to leave it here this is a debate parents will have all over the country since this study cape out. thank you both for coming in and talking about this. straight ahead, was the president's compromise on contraception a lose-lose?

5:34 am
call. >> it is excruciating. painful to listen to. realizing what we now know i wish i recognized the urgency of the situation. you do not default to the notion the person you are dealing with is a psycho path. it is difficult. >>alisyn: it took 22 minutes from when the call was made to when police finally arrived to the home and it was too late. >> six armed robbers on the run after literally vanishing in a puff of smoke. this started yesterday when the suspects beat and robbed a man and police traced the robbers to a home in california and that is where the stand off took place lasting for six hours before the home, then, caught fire and once the fires were extinguished, police found all the suspects were gone. they don't though where they went. >> how did this happen? a bank of america customer
5:35 am
having problems getting a loan finds out why. the credit agency thought he was dead. because bank of america reported him dead. although he is alive. arthur says he noticed the problem three months ago and he contacted the bank and noticed the problem that he was not dead and the bank promised to correct the problem in 30 days but it has been 100 days so he is still technically dead but he says he cannot improve the credit score or take out a mortgage and bank of america is working on the problem. >> and remember this from the super bowl? the material girl is criticizing the rapper flipping of the bird during the half time show and says she understands it is punk rock. come on. was that punk rock. but this is supposed to be a positive show and she insists
5:36 am
she had no prior knowledge m.i.a. apologized. >> some thought she did a great job and others criticize. she almost slipped. >>alisyn: she did, as we almost did. >>dave: who do you want in new york in 2014 for the half time show? springsteen? who? >> jersey boys. i like that. >>dave: maria is here for risk. >> good morning, guys, he is missing out on some snow but across the pond we have had reports of a lot of snow and below normal temperatures. for us we are looking at snow here in the northeast, and new york city not looking at accumulation and that is the story along most big cities on the corridor with boston 1 or 2" but eastern maine will be hit

5:38 am
religious-affiliated institutions provide birth control for people would want to opt out and the insurance companies will have to provide it. governor huckabee will talk about this and the adjustment the president made yesterday relieving it from the role of catholic hospitals and university. does this fix the problem? >>governor huckabee: no, it is a shoal game moving -- it is a shell game moving the responsibility from the catholic church over to the insurance companies. forcing people to pay for stuff they don't want. why does government make these decisions? if we took vitamin d it would be good, right? should we mandate it what about garlic or fish oil? or taking an as prince? i do those but i don't expect
5:39 am
the government to force somebody else to pay that. i do that because it is good for me. contraception is fine. people want to prevent a pregnancy, that is their business. but pregnancy is not a disease. it is not truly health care. it is preventing something that is a natural countries -- occurrence of life. when you force people to pay for something, aborted, plan (b), the morning after pill --. >>clayton: and bishops have a problem with that because part of it is in the town. half of the catholics are saying this is good, we came to a compromise and it seems to be a mixed response to this, and catholic conferences is saying it is good. but the bishops say no. >>governor huckabee: a lot of people are looking for a way to give obama an out but the bigger picket is not with
5:40 am
catholics but this is one of the many problems with the federal government getting between you and the person you contract with to provide your health insurance or your health care. this should be a contractual arrangement between you and the doctor and you and your choicen insurer because you can choose to insure the things you want like your car or house. how much deductible do you want? how much do you want to pay? how much risk do you want to assume? issues that should be decided by the individual not by one person in the federal government. >>dave: you said year at cpac, around your speed, that this will rally the republicans. i'm curious, the guy everyone wanted to hear speak was rick santorum. >>guest: it wasn't me? >>dave: it was you. but the candidate. the candidate. >>governor huckabee: wanted to clarify that. >>dave: the candidate. and rick santorum takes the

ground. and this right here is my .45. that was the loud rowed. >> what causes papa to pop off on his daughter's computer. wait until you hear what he found on her laptop. >> and hour four starts right now and in which case i'll learn bronson's real name. a baby, have you guys picked a name yet. >> dave: i'm certain, bros dn lynn or bronson won't be-- >> thanks to bronson. >> you get somethituck in your . and you're a fan of per strangers and. >>. >> dave: chuck woolley later in the program. >> alisyn: let's talk about
6:02 am
what happened yesterday. the president changed course after the hoopla surrounding the original division that was going to force catholic hospitals and universities to provide contraception free of charge, and that got a lot of pushback and we started a bit of a hullabaloo and then the president came back yesterday and said let me make a commendation, basically a compromise and sure they have to do not the catholic institutions themselves. here is what he had to say. >> whether you're a teacher or a small business woman or a nurse, or a janitor, no woman's health should depend on who she is or where she works, or how much money she makes. every woman should be in control of the decisions that affect her own health, period. >> clayton: and that's obviously been met with a mixed response. some saying it's a good compromise and others saying it does not answer it at all including some of the bishops,
6:03 am
bishop william lawrie on our show saying there are problems. >> there's some problems, number one, the mandate is still there to provide abortion inducing drugs, sterilization, and that ought to be rescinded, a lot of our dioces, catholic charities and institutions are self-insured, and that presents a significant problem, thirdly, there are, as you indicated, religious insurers, and where does this leave them? and finally, it seems to me that individuals and private employers with conscienceous objections are still out in the cold. >> dave: and many with the entire problem with obamacare, an individual mandate forcing americans to buy something. now you're forcing an entire industry, in this case the insurance industry to pro side something and didn't include the insurance industry on the back room dealings here. they did not get their permission, did not sit down and walk ahead of time so
6:04 am
there's still a lot of backlash still to come on this. >> on the left, the white house says and even some catholics come out and say it wasn't a back room deal. we were on the phone, having phone calls and trying to work out a deal and bishop ferrell saying it's a step in the right direction, listen to him. >> this is a step in the right direction, and hopefully, will open up the door to dialog, to more dialog on those fundamental principles that we believe that this legislation was undermining. >> alisyn: i mean, the question is now, if what the president did yesterday is enough to make this distraction go away. the white house seems naive how much of a stifirestorm it's going to cause. they got pushback, from the republicans and people on the other side of the aisle and seemed to surprise them.
6:05 am
they came out with the compromise. does it go away or still talking about it on cpac. >> governor huckabee feels it will consolidate the republicans and the cpac in washington d.c., except for ron paul who is not at the conference. rick santorum gathering attention because he's surging in the polls. and here first, is mitt romney and newt gingrich focusing on president obama. >> for three years we've suffered through the failures, not only after weak leader, but of a bankrupt ideology. [applaus [applause] >> i'm convinced that if we do our job, if we lead with conviction, and integrity, that history will record the obama presidency as the last gasp of the liberalism's great failure, and a turning point for the conservative era to come. >> by january 20th when i am sworn in, it will have
6:06 am
repealed obamacare. [applaus [applause] >> it will have repealed dodd frank. by the time president obama lands in chicago, we will have-- we will have repudiated at least 40% of his government on opening day. >> and should mention congressman ron paul, as they mentioned, he was the only one that didn't speak, he's up in maine and that caucus there in maine and a the lot of people think it could be his first primary victory up there as we get results. >> all eyes on rick santorum after did he well in the previous three caucuses and so, he is actually going after mitt romney, comparing him to president obama. >> who has supported the stepchild of obamacare, the person in massachusetts who built the largest government-run health care system in the united states.
6:07 am
someone who would simply give that issue away in the fall. give the issue away of government control of your health. >> dave: of course, that will be tough for rick santorum down the line. and supported governor romney in '08, calling him that did stand up for conservative principles. a big week for santorum, raised 3 million dollar after the three-state sweep and leads in a poll in tennessee where newt gingrich thought he would make his stand in south, super tuesday. >> clayton: and byron york, the cpac is conflicted over mitt romney's presence there and trying to talk to the the audience there and show how conservative he is, so much so here is penned speech he gave there and using the teleprompter, prepared remarks he used a certain word a number of times and here is a
6:08 am
montage of that word, listen. >> conservative movements top recruiter at a turning point for the conservative era to come. >> conservatives all agree, we conservatives, conservatives, conservative, conservativism, conservative, conservativism, because i have livered conservativism, conservative, conservative, conservatives. this is why we're conservatives. >> alisyn: okay. in case you lost count at home, it was 29 times that he said some form of the word conservative. he also called himself a-- severely conservative. >> dave: and his time as a massachusetts governor. >> alisyn: and really conservative, which makes it sound like a syndrome or something to be treated. >> clayton: rush limbaugh jumped on that and his response was immediate. severelily? he said i've never heard anyone say they're severely conservative. and representative steven king, that did not get any
6:09 am
applause, the only part that was ad libbed. >> dave: the line was wrapped around the street to hear him speak and folks were thrilled and excite today hear that speech. >> alisyn: let's tell you more about the news. we have a fox news alert right now. iran's president is vowing to make a major announcement about his country's nuclear aspirations any day now. mammoud ahmadnejad making the promise during a ceremony marking the 33rd anniversary of the islamic revolution. he didn't offer any specifics, but did say that iran would never yield to pressure from the west. an iranian report says it would likely be achievement and leaders and president obama promised to use any means necessary to prevent iran from creating nuclear weapons. and there are new details emerging from the failed plot to bomb a u.s. bound plane in 2009. from the justice department, the american cleric al-awlaki
6:10 am
personally directed that botched attempt to blow up the train over detroit. the memo states that he communicated directly with the failed nigerian bomber, umar farouk abdulmutallab. and they met in yemen. the failed bomber will be sentenced this week and admitted he tried to blow up the international flight with a bomb hidden in his pants. occu occupy making a scene outside the cpac in washington last night. and many blasting republicans for giving tax breaks to the so-called 1%, but is their outrage genuine? at least one protester said he showed up because he's being paid by the labor unions. >> are you getting paid right now? >> yeah, we're getting paid for this. >> how much are you getting paid? >> $50 per head. >> how did they find you. >> we, the people like out of work right now, who on the bench, have been out of work a
6:11 am
year or two, something like that. >> protesters can count on at least one more day of gainful employment and expected to be back on the picket line for cpac's third and final day. >> here is a fascinating tale. the movie red tail is about the tuskegee airmen and the message for equality. and that was lost on some people. talking the dallas texas school board which took nearly 6,000 male students to see the movie only to tell the girls they had to stay back in class. the alleged reason, that girls would not have enjoyed the movie as much. many parents are up in arms, even one of the original tuskegee airmen spoke out calling that decision ridiculous and discriminatory. have we learned nothing, people? >> a fantastic movie. head scratch. rick santorum won three states last week, mitt romney none. so, should mitt be worried
6:12 am
about what's ahead? ann coulter supporting myth and she's here next with a very interesting prediction. >> and remember this from the super bowl, it's called slack lining and we tracked down some of the best in the country. and they're here to perform. and it's icy and raining, and it's not stopping them. ♪ that's good morning, veggie style. hmmm. for half the calories plus veggie nutrition. could've had a v8.

6:15 am
>> all right. let's talk some politics now, a big week from rick santorum, three primary or caucus victories have the former pennsylvania senator soaring in the g.o.p. primary race and now soaring in the polls. >> let's take a look at the latest fox news poll. santorum is now tied with mitt
6:16 am
romney getting 30% of the g.o.p. vote. >> dave: our next guest says it's no big deal, nothing to worry about. ann coulter, our next guest. good morning, ann. >> good morning. >> dave: how long will the rick santorum surge last, can he take it all the way? >> well, i don't think it's that much of a surge. i think it gets played up more in the media than what it's worth. i mean, these were caucuses. >> dave: he destroyed romney in three straight states and raised 3 million dollars in three days. this is no matter how you slice it, this changes the momentum in the game. what do you think his biggest obstacle to securing the nomination might be? >> well, as i was saying, these caucuses were really not worth much this week. one doesn't, didn't produce delegates at all. the total caucus or delegate count was, i think santorum picked up eight. well, you know, in florida,
6:17 am
romney got 50 and that's with half as many delegates as he was supposed to get. because the rnc was punishing florida for going early. and rick santorum is third in delegate couts. as everyone was saying, more of a beauty contest and i think the media wants to look at more of a horse race than it is, and the buzz at cpac, there was buzz in different parts of the room and certainly i was-- i was there all day and doing radio and various other things. and was that santorum was a little bit flat yesterday. and that mitt romney had one over the crowd. >> clayton: and we are playing up any type of a surge, let's look at john mccain, he lost a ton of states, actually, in 2008 and ended up going on to become the nominee. so, historical context there, can mitt romney just regain some of this momentum and get back on track? and is this really just a speed bump for him?
6:18 am
>> i think it's barely even a speed bump. it's more of a traffic coned area. and, but i mean, it's interesting, i've looked back at other primary races and just, you know, flipped through nexxis to see how things were going and reported and once you know what the outcome is and you're doing it, you have full hindsight and it seemed sort of obvious now, for example, reagan was going to win the nomination in 1980 and maybe even that ford was going to win in '76, beating reagan, but it does tend to go back and forth and reagan would win two, bush win one. and clearly the momentum is with mitt romney and i don't think that national polls mean. . people say anything in their primary and their state is three months away. >> alisyn: here is what's interesting about cpac, lots of people, conservatives, still question mitt romney's conservative credentials and
6:19 am
yesterday, as you well know, he gave a speech at cpac in which he invoked the word conservative or some form of it 29 times. is he thus protesting too much? >> well, i don't know, the poor guy can't win. he doesn't talk about being a koift. people say why doesn't he talk about being a conservative. why is he talking about being a conservative? now you're overdoing it. i think he's the most conservative of the remaining candidates, particularly, i mean, as i said in my speech at the convention yesterday, he's certainly the most conservative on illegal immigration and illegal immigration, i think is the second most important issue facing the country other than repealing obamacare f we don't deal with illegal immigration, all republicans are chomping at the bit to greet them amnesty, not because they have a love for hispanics, cheap labor that rest of us subsidize with hospitals, roads, health care, and this
6:20 am
is why both mccain and bush are pushing for amnesty. they're not using the word amnesty, but they're for it. and not mitt romney, he wants a fence on the border, by far the most conservative on illegal immigration, and if we lose on that issue, the entire country becomes california and no republican is ever going to win another national election. >> dave: there you have it from the severely conservative ann coulter this morning. (laughter) . >> thank you. >> clayton: go on and watch ann's speech from cpac. >> dave: got a lot of laughs. >> bye-bye. >> clayton: forget coffee, now there's caffeine you can inhale. is it safe? if not should the government step in. >> alisyn: we're going to have to try some. >> dave: bring it on. this movie getting glowing reviews from hollywood even though the actors never uttered a word. penelope ann miller is here in color and will speak and what makes "the artist" such a
