tomorrow on fox news sunday, joe lieberman, sits dowwallace to t scandal. and mitch daniels on the 2012 election, i'm uma pemraju. >> jamie: we're following new fallout in the sex scandal that's rocking the secret service and a u.s. senator is calling for a wider investigation. we're learning that heads are continuing to roll, three more agents stepping down, bringing to six the number of air force who have lost their job be so far. this is exploding into an international incident last weekend when a prostitute accused a nation of refusing to pay for her services at a columbian hotel ahead of president obama's visit to colombia, he was going there for a summit. hi, everyone, we have that and
10:01 am
so much more this hour, great to have you here, i'm jamie colby. >> kelly: i'm kelly wright. welcome to a brand new hour of american news headquarters, the ranking republican in the judiciary committee is looking for answers about any possible involvement of white house staff in the growing scandal. our molly henneberg is live with more details, good to have you today. what's happening with the scandal? >> hi, kelly and jamie, senator grassley says more work needs to be done. how to fix it and who was involved in the prostitution scandal and specifically, he wants the secret service to look into, as he writes in a letter to the director of the agency, were there any rooms shared by secret service, white house communications agency and the white house office of advance for operational or support matters? if so, were logs for those rooms checked to see if overnight guests were registered? . the concern, says grassley, that the prostitutes may have had access in the rooms to quote,
10:02 am
sensitive information. and the white house has maintained that no one from its team has been caught up in the scandal, and the president's spokesman asked if the white house would launch its internal investigation and he said at this point, no. >> i had no reason, as i had said yesterday, to believe that there's a need for that. i'm not going to talk spe speculatively about where this investigation is going. >> for the first time since the scandal broke, the secret service director briefed president obama in person in the oval office at the white house late yesterday. for now, a total of six secret service agents have been ousted since this came to light, including two supervisors and five more clearances have been suspended and one has been cleared of serious misconduct and may face in-house punishment and 11 members of the military
10:03 am
have been implicated. back to you. >> kelly: molly henneberg, thanks for the report. >> jamie: a lot of people asking how far will the investigation go. here is republican peter king. >> as the investigation goes forward and more evidence comes out. ct tsee him moving into other agencies he as well. >> congressman peter king, the share of the homeland security committee will be joining us, that's coming up, a live interview with the congressman, so, keep it right here. >> kelly: fox news alert, george zimmerman, the man charged with killing teenage trayvon martin is set to be released from a jail any moment now and the judge set bail, his release one day after a stunning turn yesterday. and zimmerman taking the witness stand and publicly apologizing to trayvon martin's parents. >> i wanted to say i am sorry for the loss of your son. i did not know how old he was, i thought he was a little younger
10:04 am
than i am and i did not know if he was armed or not. >> kelly: an attorney for martin's parents says that statement was quote, the most unmeaningful apology, meantime, zimmerman could be allowed to return home or possibly even be relocated to an undisclosed location as he awaits trial. >> jamie: well, an investigation that we're watching right now, and investigators may be closer to finding the remains of etan patz. they're excavating a basement of an apartment building as we speak. he vanished in 1979 and the story touched the nation, the first missing child to appear on a milk carton and anna kooiman is live at the scene in new york city with lots of police activity there, anna, what's the latest? >> and it really is. the latest is that investigators have dug up the concrete floor of the basement and moving on to the soil beneath it.
10:05 am
back in 1979, the bottom of this building here in soho was used as a work space for a neighborhood handyman. now the n.y.p.d. and fbi have been 30 to 40 agents and officers down there, they're using dust masks and fans and all sorts of things, jackhammers, throughout what has been so far a three-day process, about a block from the bus stop where the six-year-old etan p pach patz he was head there. miller hired an attorney who tells he's cooperating with investigators, but has no involvement in this case. >> i believe he has conveyed that message multiple times over 30 years and he has moved as all of us new yorkers are by this and recognizes and agrees with all of us, that this is a terrible tragedy. we should not be compounding one tragedy, but ruining another person's life who had nothing to do with it. >> and new york police commissioner raymond kelly says
10:06 am
he's not going to speak about any potential suspects in this case. for decades, there was a prime suspect in the case, jose ramos locked up into a pennsylvania prisonen. never convicted in the case, but held responsible in a wrongful death suit. and etan's parents still live in the neighborhood and placed a sign on the door and requesting privacy. all this have is happening about a month before a national missing children's day that may the 25th, and that's the disappearance day of etan patz, a national symbol for childhood safety and the rest day and the evening and in fact, out here, as investigators continue their search effort, jamie. >> we still think about the parents and so many more, thank you, anna very much. >> well, new questions this hour concerning voter confidence in the wake of recent political scandals within the obama administration, a recent gallup
10:07 am
poll showing that a majority of voters are already dissatisfied with the size and power of the federal government, fueling new fears that voter confidence will slip even further in the wake of recent scandals. including the secret service prostitution probe, the investigation into the gsa spending bdebacle and president obama's controversial open mic comments to the russian president. what impact will this have? angela mcglowan is an analyst, and the president of new heights communications christy, and the spokeman for vermont governor howard dean. thank you for joining us this beautiful saturday and what about this. >> thanks for having me. >> kelly: this is an ugly moment in the obama administration to see what's happening with his particularly secret service detail, the fact that they're under this probe, its investigation and does this have any impact on him whatsoever? angela? >> well, i think, kelly, with
10:08 am
the liberal message, you would think that with the state of the economy, with high gas prices and also the jobless rate that the american people would not buy into the message of more government, but republicans are facing a macavelian politician, a great or atore and look at the swing states, romney and obama or almost neck and neck and i don't know if all of these policies are hurting him or could hurt him. >> kelly: and talk about it right there, the failed policies, the scandals. >> right. >> kelly: what impact do you think this will have on president obama looking in november to reelection. >> very little to be honest with you. if you're the president you don't like to see this happen. it's a distraction and makes it more difficult to get out you have your message, but no how many secret service with the prostitutes, it's the economy. and i believe the president is going to do well.
10:09 am
25 straight months of positive economic growth and more jobs in the last eight months under obama's watch than we did in eight years of bush administration. we've now seen 4 million new jobs in the last two years alone and i think he'll do quite well. >> kelly: so, christy has made a turn from the scandal onto the policies of the president and angela, i see that republicans, however, would like to talk about the policies, saying it's the economy, stupid and mitt romney saying on that note, president obama had failed the american people. >> here is the rub, kelly. obama's liberal strategy is distract, deflect and divide so if you take it away from his failed policies and the job is rated worse than any president since fdr during the depression, the bottom line, the liberals are winning the message, what republicans have to do, do grass roots advocacy and keep it is simple. republicans are about policy and democrats are about politics and
10:10 am
with the political game. >> kelly: christy, i hear you laughing about it. >> i am laughing, because i think it's not news that public servants occasionally behave badly and it's certainly not a partisan affair. i think we remember a number of scandals that happened in the bush administration, and ones that i think were actually a little bit more serious here, the outing of a cia agent that came directly from the vice-president's office, i think that was a little more serious, but i will agree what is important here is how the president handles it and i think in this each case here, whether it's the secret service agents or the gsa conference in las vegas, he's moved quickly to hold parties responsible and insure that it's not happening again. >> kelly: and christy, one thing, you say responsibly, yet. >> yes. >> kelly: there's still a fallout from the gsa scandal, the fact that there's been so many videos out there of people making fun of people spending taxpayers money on the government time when they should be actually investing that money
10:11 am
to show how they can save money, what are the republicans saying about the president's leadership with regard to the scandal since christy brought it up there. >> of course they don't think he's had great leadership and the senator saying that maybe we should do away with gsa maub outlived its purpose. kelly, when you have people living from paycheck to paycheck if they have a job and people wondering if they're going to pay for gas or the electric bill, scandals don't matter what the american people want today is a true leader to create a positive america. >> let me interject one thing, when president obama was running as senator barack obama, and captured the imagination of a lot of young people. i was talking to a 20-year-old today and asked her what do you think of the scandals and how it relates to president obama and she said it shocks her and makes her question he leadership. christy, how does he get beyond that, beyond the scandals and talk to the american people in such a way that he cannot only curry a their favor, but earn
10:12 am
their favor. >> that's exactly what i was saying, it's a test of his leadership and seeing bipartisan calls in the house and the senate to investigate this matter and president obama started that and we've seen as i've already said, replaced the responsible parties either on administrative leave and fired or forced to resign and in some of the agencies themselves, for example, in the gsa, the employees there have been told that if they see waste and fraud it is their duty and responsibility to root it out. so, i think he's taken a number of measures, to ensure it doesn't happen again. >> and taken a number of measures, but this was the candidate who said he was going change washington d.c., it wasn't going to be as the american people knew it, that he was going to make change happen and he didn't. and to make your federal employees responsible, the buck stops with the commander-in-chief, with the ceo of this country, but kelly, too, i've talked to young people who supported obama years ago and now they don't have a job.
10:13 am
>> kelly: all right. angela, we're going to give you the final word right there and christy, i wish i had more time. >> sure. >> kelly: because sound like you two could go on with this and you both have served your cases well and see what the people decide come november, about the scandal and policies and it will be decided and we'll report and the people will decide. thank you both. >> thanks for having me. >> kelly: have a good day. coming up this hour, the president's campaign facing a sharp drop off in donations from nearly every major industry. coming up, a live report on why so many big named donors are staying away and how this may impact his bid for reelection. also, still going on, sex, prostitutes and the secret service, it all started in a hotel in colombia, but the scandal, while it unfolded there, is now centered in washington. we'll have all the details needed uncovered or should the investigation expand? more on that when republican

and make an investment. how do you learn about it? well, now, experts say you can learn a lot more about an investment and a company by surfing the web than guy going through traditional analysts, casey stegall has the details, and i'll probably hear from every broker i know who tell us why, casey, the web center. >> reporter: with a can the internet not do? first, a way that people can get a leg up on the market and believe it or not, it has to do with what you and i and others are saying online and there are companies now that specialize in this, and analyze all of the data, like market sites here in santa monica, california and they look at everything, the people are saying online about a company or a product, whether it's good or bad. and they then take all of that information, and condense it down into stock tips for hedge funds, banks and brokerage firms. what they're looking for is emotional and economic trends. and that they say can predict
10:20 am
what will happen next, in a company stocks, in fact, up to two weeks in advance. >> and on social media what you're seeing are the emotions coursing through the confirmation and see how different information affects people. we want today see can we find a moment when that drop of information hits the ocean of conscienceness and predict where the ripples are going and what effect they will have. >> there is science to support it. what folks are tweeting, blogging or face booking about it can predict which way the dow will go. another study out of the university of southern california found that you can actually make more money if you sell your stock in brands that have more negative reviews online, than positive ones. >> and this is a boon for everyone, because companies have to be much more responsive. in the past the company not
10:21 am
doing that well could survive for five years, maybe ten years, so on and i think that's dropped is just one year or maybe just a few months. if you don't respond, it just, sales drop off and die. >> so what about the phony online positive reviews, the ones that are clearly written by a representative of that company that we hear about? well, usc studies found that that really did not matter because they're looking more at the negative ones because they say that those are more truthful and they are a better indicator of consumer sentiment, jamie. >> kelly:. >> jamie: i guess they see usually emotional investing is not a good thing, but maybe emotion can help you make a better decision. we report, folks can decide. thank you, casey. >> right. >> beyond a dream, mayor cory booker of new jersey says there are some people in america who have resigned themselves to believe there will always be corners of our country in

poverty and bad schools. but he wants to change that perception by helping his city become a place of hope and unity, a city that inspires people to believe once again that this is a nation of impossible dreams. >> and we said at the beginning we made a vision clear, north new jersey is going to be the urban leader for change in the d.c. area, and public and environment empowerment fon children and families. >> mayor cory booker is a man of vision, since becoming mayor of newark, new jersey, he's been working to make newark a prosperous city. >> a super structural in the northeast, the biggest college town and cultural and art institute state and remove the stain of newark's image of crime and corruption.

10:32 am
white house to update. and the chairman of house homeland security committee tasked with looking into the matter. congressman, good to see you, thanks for joining us. >> thank you, jamie, always a pleasure. >> and you're looking into it. tell us the latest that you've learned. >> well, basically, as you know, yesterday, three more secret service agents were forced to resign, also, one secret service agent was pretty much exonerated at least on serious charges and another secret service agent was added, he was from another hotel and his incident, whatever it was occurred five days before the president arrived, and five or six days before the president arrived and my investigation is going ahead and i have four investigators who are examining every aspect that we can and we're in constant contact with the secret service and i spoke to director sullivan, three times yesterday, and almost every day this week and i met with him face-to-face, also, for
10:33 am
several days. >> what are you asking him? >> well, what i'm asking him basically is a series of questions and the main ones are, beginning to end, what happened, when it happened and who was involved, and who were the supervisory capacity and what action and how the investigation is proceeding and they're speaking to the major work in the hotels, the workers are all agencies who were down there and not just, not one hoe it will, but also in the the others and talking to the prostitutes or the women who were involved. and they're being questioned by the secret service and so i'm going to get access to all of the records as it goes along and we want a full record so at the end. we can decide if the secret service acted appropriately. >> what you described, i'm not sure what could be appropriate, but you know what i believe would have been appropriate and i wanted to ask you this question, if there's even one secret service agent that wasn't involved in this alleged scandal. did any of them, according to your knowledge so far with all
10:34 am
the briefings you've had and all the conversations you've had with the secret service director, did any of them report to any supervisor that something was going on that made them feel uncomfortable or that was wrong, did not one secret service agent raise their hand and say, hey, guys, do what you want, but i'm calling it in? >> oh, i think, of those 11 all were involved to some extent. now, one of them, charges were pretty much reduced yesterday, but as far as, no, as far as i know, nobody went to the supervisory level which is why they're in trouble. i mean, he they should have, obviously, not been part of it. once they became part of it they stayed and remember this, many, many secret service agents down there and these are the 11 or 12 now involved and want charges dropped. >> i get that part and let me just state this and tell me if i'm wrong, not only did the alleged activity potentially happen and you'll confirm that with the interview with the mates and the women all that,
10:35 am
there's a coverup. because if one didn't tell on the other and are they not under an oath to make sure there's not misbehavior in any event that could jeopardize them or at worse jeopardize the president or other officials there for the summit? >> oh, yeah, wrong those, and that's exactly one of the charges against them. for instance, among those 11 the first 11, two of them were supervisors and they should have been in control of everything. instead. they were accessories to it, part of it. among those 11 they also are in trouble for what they didn't to and what they didn't do was report it. they were a part of it. >> i'm glad to clarify that and thank you for having that. one last quick question. i know they're not cia covert operators, nevertheless, the identity of some of them have now been exposed and they're identified as secret service agents, right or wrong, if they've participated or not. is there a risk to the secret service when their identities
10:36 am
are told in this fashion, potentially globally. >> no matter happens, i don't think you'll see these 11 involved in any kind of a detail like this again. they basically have to be out of the public eye if they stay on the the job and i think you'll probably see most of the 11 will resign, retire or forced to leave all right. i'll say it again, you've worked with secret service, i've met secret service and this is an abberation. >> like you have great regard for the secret service and the director is doing a good job right now. >> thank you for letting us know. president obama's campaign team hitting a snag. apparently now having some major trouble reeling in cash from several big name donors,
10:37 am
including previous powerhouse supporters from both wall street and hollywood. why are they staying away and what impact will all of this have on the president's reelection bid? peter doocy live from washington with more details, what's happening with the president? >> kelly, as you said, a lot of big donors are staying away from president obama's campaign this time around and a new york times report on friday lays out the reason why. and part of the reason is the fact there's no primary for democrats to get excited about and part of the reason is because the economy is still spt great and part of the reason because the donors come from wall street and many think the president has been too critical of their industry, now, the obama campaign raised 196 billion dollars so far and 59% of that money has come in contributions of $200 or less and as a result the obama campaign is about 38 million dollars short of where they were four years ago, but that doesn't mean they're in financial trouble. because the romney war chest has about 10 million dollars in it right now, but the obama war chest has about 104 million
10:38 am
dollars in it right now. ten times as much. and the campaign manager says, that they're going to make it work with the small check. >> it really is how this works. people building this organization, five to ten bucks at a time take on mitt romney and nell' have to dig deep her, and work harder and move faster and it's going to take all of us working together. >> and even though the obama campaign has ten times more money than the romney campaign right now. super packs could help restore the gap and priorities usa action would back the president, only made 2.5 million dollars. kelly? >> bepeter, that's a lot of mon. >> a lot of money. >> kelly: peter doocy. >> jamie: hopefully, kelly you won't need that much money to start your engine. time now for the fox car report. mazda rolling out a crossover.

2013, stylish and gas efficient. and gary gastelu tells us when he takes it for a test drive. >> in case you were wondering, this is what the car of the future looks like. for mazda, the cx five is the only built entirely in-house by the independent auto maker since it split off from the ford family fold a few years ago. acting as a showcase, of styling fuels and in the coming years. the look is called kodo and supposed to look like an animal ready to pounce, i'm the not sure which one. under it a chassis from right weight high strength steel for improved fuel economy along with an engine that has 13 commission ratio, sure to impress the race car drivers and engineers among you and 35 miles per hour on the highway, and which will take care of everyone else. >> and of course, get behind the wheel on the road and none of that matters anyway, or maybe it all does, because this thing

10:46 am
helps the short-term and right now, i see it as just a balloon expanding and expanding and let's hope one day is doesn't pop. >> if it's the wrong course of action to take, why are we involved in it? >> because, we don't get to make these decisions and it comes out of washington and comes out of washington with the imf and the european commission also. and we're just little puppets here, as they play on the merry-go-round using our dollars and by the way, these are not real dollars, these are dollars in the future, as we have our own massive debt problems our cess. but, my understanding is is that the federal reserve can't even promise any money until it first is approved by congress for the imf. what's happening here, are we seeing some shell game going on? >> i think so. look the fed has been printing almost on a daily basis to fund our debt. that debt is paying for us, but it's also paying for countries in europe. the big story is that the domino starts heading downwards in

europe and it's going to effect the whole globe, it's my they're putting it on a shotgun blast and it's going 0 break down, unless the whole structure changes, nothing changes, it gets bigger and bigger. >> and what burden does this place on the american taxpayer before spending hard earned money to try and get a job if ne don't have one and we've got our own struggles right here, so, look, everybody wants to help someone out and at this point in time, can we afford to do this? >> no, we can't. every dime spent on debt in this country is a head wind for the economy, it's as simple as that, why? because it comes out of business, and it comes out of the individual. and that is the economy, and we're now sitting at 15 trillion plus, they're adding more, and every day it gets bigger and bigger and until that dynamic is changed and going the other way, i just think we're going to be in trouble. for me, the big problem is the same people that were involved
10:48 am
in causing the problem, and leveraging debt are the ones coming up with the answer of more leverage and debt to secure that problem and that's not good news. >> not good at all. gary, we thank you for you your insight and perspective what's happening with the imf. 430 billion dollars much of that coming from american taxpayers. >> this is one of the most important stories you'll hear today. they're calling it, scientists, a landmark discovery in breast cancer research and treatment. we have a member of our fox medical a-team here to explain it to you next. copd makes it hard to breathe, so i wasn't playing much of a role in my own life, but with advair, i'm breathing better so now i can take the lead on a science adventure. advair is clinically proven to help significantly improve lung function. unlike most copd medications, advair contains both an anti-inflammatory and a long-acting bronchodilator,
10:49 am
workintogether to help improve ur lung function all day. advair won't replace fast-acting inhalersor sudden symptoms and should not be used more than twice a day people with copd taking advair may have a higher chance of pneumonia advair may increase your risk of osteoporosis and some eye problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking advair. if you're still having difficulty breathing, take the lead. ask your doctor if incling advair get your first fl prescription free and save on refills at advaircopd.com.

>> well, scientists are saying they believe it's a landmark discovery in cancer research revealing information that could possibly revolutionize or at least treat better breast cancer patients. and joining me now, dr. manny alvarez, senior editor for fox news help.com. a member of the fox news medical a-team and i think you were the first a. >> hallelujah, good to see you. so, women and some men who have breast cancer want every option available to them. what does this provide, is it a
10:53 am
landmark? >> it is, last year we did a special here on fox news, called the war on cancer and the narrative of the one hour show had to do that cancer is going to be looked at individually. and not as a group. and clearly, this, this study, which will be published the end of the year, the preliminary results looked at 2000 cancers in breast cancer and looked at the biology of the cancer and dna and the biological signatures of the the cancers and said, look, it's many cancers, breast cancer. at least 10 that they could yief. and the significance of this is huge because you know, cancer has become a business in a lot of places and everybody, you know, operate, operate, operate, give the same chemo, give the same keem chemo, at the end of day for every we saved at cancer, nine probably are not getting the right treatment
10:54 am
because the biology of cancer different. so that this already has been, at the scientific level has already been talked about, that indeed, as we learn more about the biology, look, it took years to get the project underway now, and you can get geonomics within hours and cost pennies on the dollar. with this new science, learning that cancer is kind of diversified, that it's not just one cancer, now, manufacturers of drugs and surgeons, perhaps, and radiologieses and people that do diagnostic studies are able to say, okay, i'm going to target these types of cancers and when people come, they get the geonomics and the right treatment and people, really, you know, you cure cancer. >> so, getting the word out about this is important for doctors and patients, it sounds to me like you're saying two things, one is, more people make money off cancer than are cured by cancer. >> yeah, i-- >> i personally think so. >> and two, some of the science,
10:55 am
maybe not even medical science, but science will help doctors target the treatment. >> right, because. >> more specifically. >> because, cancer is just a name, but in rehe alt, it has many personalities. okay? and by having many personalities there father, the treatments are going to be different. so, you know, doctors hopefully will stop, you know, putting everybody in a group, they'll stop, stop just pushing certain, operate, omeperate, operate. >> jamie: and do you expect in treating breast cancer-- >> the conclusion after we did the one hour special, and looked at the scientists and said on camera that we will cure cancer, we will win the war on cancer. if we learn the biology and we don't make it a business. >> jamie: so this is the step. >> this is a big step, it's huge. >> jamie: very happy, it's going to be published in nature. if folks want to read it. dr. manny alvarez, thank you for
10:56 am
coming in, the fox medical a-team always on the breaking news, i'm jamie colby, that's going to do it for us. >> kelly: have a great day, everybody. picking a wireless network is a lot like picking a team. you could go with the fastest, most reliable, and at the very least, talented at what they do. or...
