"fox & friends" begins right now. >> good morning, everybody. we have good quite the show foru today. i you are in for a real treat. lots of big name guests, let's start with kevin costner and bill paxton. >> wow. >> you can stop right there no offense to the rest of the guests on our program. >> kevin costner. >> we can say more. >> nascar three-time cup champion darryl walters. >> busting out the nascar facts. i didn't think you would know that. >> how many races did darryl

waltrip win. >> 80. >> 84. >> i did read the notes last night. [car engine revving] >> governor mike huckabee has won no nascar races but he was governor he won that race. dick morris will be here, also. >> it's a big program. don't miss a minute. there they are. and you really don't want to miss the show that costner and paxton are doing monday night 9:00 eastern time on the history channel the hat fields and mccoys from what i understand was the inspiration behind the game show. >> jeopardy. >> family feud. >> the inspiration behind family feud. that was an obvious ones. >> i was joking. >> full name of it -- full of it today. >> this has the entire country captivated the etan patz case. now pedro hernandez, the self-confessed as i recall of etan patz who came forward just a day or so before -- i guess you call it an

anniversary i hate to use that word that's what happened 33 years ago on friday may 25th, 33 years ago, he came forward and confessed. he was on a video link from belleview memorial psychiatric facility where is he undergoing psychiatric tests right now. he couldn't appear in a court but he was arraigned and now charged wearing orange jumpsuit standing there and his attorney is saying he has a history here of skits friendia, bipolar disorder, among other problems. >> the timing of this gives you kills, if was a friday he was allowed to walk to the bus station alone. city looked for him for decades. this guy pedro hernandez, his family says he actually had confessed. he had said things to them as early as the 1980s, he said i did something bad to a child in new york. but they didn't know

exactly -- they didn't want to turn him in. he was their brother first of all and they didn't know exactly what he was referring to. >> he according to some family members said the words "i killed a young boy in new york." he apparently told family members as well as some people at a religious retreat that alisyn is referring to in the 1980s. now, his wife, he was married. his wife said he never confessed to me, if he would have i would have turned him in. interesting may 25th, of course, national missing children's day. that was inspired by the disappearance of etan patz. >> then he became -- you want to say something about the photo. >> this is his current wife named rosemary and his daughter becky there screen left. they are obviously, you know, in hell. i mean as a result of all of this. chirch pass tore describes how they have been crying. >> in the state of new -- a

confession in new york is not enough. person may not be convicted of any offense solely upon the confession. the issue here is that northwestern university in march of this year, just -- it's interesting that they did this study in march of this year. and they looked at the number of wrongful convictions. and what they found is that over half of them came as a result of bogus confessions. that it's not because of a d.n.a. test they were able years later to do a d.n.a. test. over half of them came from somebody saying you know what? i killed someone. >> because of various reasons. some could be what we have here mental illness. it could also be a coerced or forced confession. >> by police, exactly. >> thereby the new york law that prevents that from being enough to prosecuted someone. so this guy may not be prosecuted. now, is he probably going to spend his time in psychiatric hospitals,. >> but why? >> he may not go to jail? >> why wouldn't he be prosecuted? >> no evidence. not a shred. >> they do say that the fact

that in the 1980s he had started to talking about it and tell his family members that he had done something bad is good corroborating evidence that could be used in this trial. >> there was a police report taken from that week that day he was at this little store, this little bodega where etan was that day. there was physical proof that he was physically there near etan. >> speaking of which, the cover of the "new york post" eerie because the father of etan patz, his parents still live on this block. they never moved. they never changed their phone number. they waited foray ton to come back. the father in just a day after etan went missing. snapped this picture. i don't know if you can see it clearly. it is the corner. and that is the bodega, the back drop there is the store where pedro hernandez worked. the father of course unknowingly took the picture of the bus stop. that's the corner. this is great evidence of the scene of the crime police now say.

>> he didn't know he was taking this photo in the basement of that very sandwich shop, it's in the background of the photo is where his son, of course, eventually was allegedly killed at this point. we don't entirely know all the details. what's the key to this whole case? it appears the key is what did pedro hernandez tell police that wasn't in the newspapers? right, the stuff that we all know about. it's the stuff that he was able to say to police little things that we never knew about as the public that the police are still sitting on because they don't want to give this information out. this is the key to the case. >> later in the show we have pat brown on. she criminal profiler to try to figure out why he would snap like this and what he has said to police to obviously make sure this never happens again to another child. meanwhile, let's get to your other headlines. we have a lot to tell you about right now. brand new reports of a u.s. drone strike overnight that have killed three suspected militants in pakistan. this happened in waziristan a known hot bed for muslim extremists. this is the third strike

probably some kind of organized crime connection. the government may be saying today we are unaware and notice those words are very carefully chosen. we are unaware of anything happening to the people whose information was taken. that doesn't mean that t hasn't happened. if i'm one of those people on the list, i would be checking my credit. >> and the people who are on that list, everybody affected by this cyber attack, should expect a letter soon, containing some more details and some information with fraud consultation and credit counseling. back to you in new york. >> unbelievable. thanks, peter. as wired magazine put it a few weeks ago we have all been hacked. we better get used to it. >> that's a way to come-to-look at it, isn't it. >> yes. >> coming up on the show, democrats are trying to resurrect the so-called war on women. will painting the g.o.p. as anti-women really work? >> plus, is united airlines antifamily? a new policy will have you shelling out more cash just so you can stay with your

role. and kevin has done some great westerns. i was a big fan of open range, a movie he did a couple years ago. he said i think we have got a good document here. i think we could really make a great western. i said i'm in. >> kevin, why did you pick bill you? were impressed by his -- [ laughter ] >> got quite a stable list guy. >> let repertoire from big love. >> early morning here for you guys. yes, i want one. we needed a leading man. we needed somebody to hold the screen and that's what was really important in this being the two patriarchs. we have seen a lot of roles coming up through our careers and playing a movie together. we get to make movies in our life and people see the movies but the relationships that come out of it, the

friendships those don't really make it that's what our life has been about. this has been a really good moment for me to be able to meet bill. >> bill, your great great grandfather, we were on an says tore.com this morning digging around. was in the confederacy. this hits home. >> i brought a book that i was given by my dad when i was in my early 20's some family member done a small printing these were the letters that migrate great grandfather wrote from the battlefield to his wife. that was what really formed my character of mccoy. i had a xerox and blown up. i shared with kevin such great because you are hearing it from a subjective point of view. i went to eastern kentucky and west virginia on my way to romania to see the real sites where this took place. you are hearing about it in an objective way. until you read letters of people talking about the profiteering going on at home and the war. it helped me kind of build a

character. >> you read the last, you know, the last letter. he died. he was predicting his death. he was predicting it. and he was coaching his wife how to take care of their farm. wife, if i leave you. then he was killed in battle. >> 35 years old. >> friendship that has emerged here. this story is about nasty hatred. >> they start out as great friends. >> describe that hatred. >> a lot of times it's perpetuated by the younger members in our family. what happens when you look at something you look at the socioeconomic things going on at the time. early on you needed your big family to take care of your farm. and big families suddenly when they all get married suddenly 70, 80 people that can't be sustained. they should be moving to the cities to memphis and what happens what happened was they don't. when you think about what brings unrest, young people who don't have jobs. who are hanging out in bars with money. and drawing up old scars that

maybe we know about but they didn't know anything about it but next thing you know somebody gets killed and then somebody has to be revenged. it's very biblical in the sense of an eye for an eye. that's really what happened. i think we had our own reasons for being uncomfortable with each other. i think we would have laid down but it was our children and those issues and certain psychopaths. the american fabric is guns, it's alcohol. am i strong enough to take what i want? >> we should mention that the hat fields and mccoys premier memorial day on the history channel and three consecutive nights. thanks for coming to the curvey couch. great to you have guys this morning. >> and big brothers is about to get even bigger. a school now plans to keep track of your kids with microchips. details coming up. you have got to take a look at this video. birthday sky diving trip quickly turned into terrifying

>> this is the kind of thing that makes people hate to fly. the airlines now want to charge you $25 if you want to sit next to your child on a flight. [ laughter ] >> did you see this? like on a crowded flight they can't guarantee seat assignments but for an additional $25 you might be able to sit next to your child. [ laughter ] >> how about this? how about an extra 25 bucks for a sober pilot? i would pay for that or air traffic controller stays awake. or tsa agent who doesn't grab you. i would pay for that. >> yeah. >> better jokes would have been how about to not pay to sit next to your kids. >> pay $25 to sit with somebody else. >> that's another option. you may not be laughing when you hear about policy changes. if you are flying somewhere this summer with your family. be prepared to spend more money to sit with your kids and preboard with your kids

fliers rights.org and she joins to us talk about this when you heard this week, kate, what was your response? >> well, nice way it to tear families apart when they fly especially if you are headed to disney. can you imagine having your 2-year-old in a middle seat in a different row than you are. >> alisyn: let's crazy. let's explain why dosses more. the arlings are now going to charge you a premium if you want to have a window or an aisle seat so families who can't afford to pay more may have to all split up and be scattered around the airplane. how is that going to work? have the airlines thought through this that a child will be many rows away from their parents? >> i don't think they thought through it at all. in fact, what they are actually doing in addition to charging more is withholding the ability to book some of those aisle and window seats for business travelers and only five days before the flight they start releasing

some of those seats for the regular traveler that doesn't have a lot of frequent flier miles or doesn't travel with that airline regularly. so it's a very antifamily provision and i think it's going to back fire. i think if i were seated next to someone else's 2-year-old, and the parent wasn't there to help that child it, would be a very awkward experience not only for the family not sitting together but for the people sitting next to them. >> you can imagine? i'm picturing this happening. my 2-year-old son. sorry son i will see you later. sitting here next to kate. >> here is a bottle. >> here is your battle. >> you can handle it. it seems absolutely absurd. >> it is absolutely absurd. when you are boarding, imagine not only being the family trying to negotiate getting on the plane at the same time other passengers with infant seat. buckle the kid and you have to sit in a different row? and can i imagine the gridlock that's going to happen inside

planes with that provision. it's a two-for. we had two antifamily provisions in one week on united. >> second one you are referring to is the preboarding status that the airlines are change the long-held practice of families being able to pre-board. now the airlines are reserving that just for their sort of premium members, their frequent fliers. here is what united airlines had to say about that our practice of calling families early who did not have elite boarding status caused more confusion than less. we made the change to simplify the boarding process and working according to plan. your response? >> my response is that is bogus. anybody who has small children and all the things that go with small children knows it takes extra time to get settled, to get everything in the overhead bins, get your child all the things they are going to need to settle them down during the flight it's a process. most other air carriers, thank goodness, have not made such

an antifamily provision. it's ridiculous. i think we are going to see shear gridlock inside of airplanes now. >> they are looking at their bottom line saying it makes more sense for us to cater to our business customers than we see day in and day out than the family whom we see once a year on a business trip. >> thanks so much for coming in with your perspective on this. you are from fliers rights.orgs we need them. >> let us know how you feel about this on twitter. would you pay extra to sit with the kids on the flight. would you do the reverse and pay to have the kids sit with other folks. >> president obama is offering up financial advice to children. should they be heeding his ad vice considering the country's debt level? one g.o.p. lawmaker doesn't think so. we will tell you the jokes is he making about this. >> one memorable graduation speech. the student speaker getting down on one knee at first i

>> good morning, everyone. it is saturday, may 26th. i'm alisyn camerota. decades after a little boy vanished from the streets of new york. we are finally learning chilling new details about what happened that day. we'll tell you about the man who is confessing to the crime and what he says he did to etan patz. >> and he helped the cia track down and kill usama bin laden and now that pakistani doctor is being sentenced for treason by his own country. why critics say the obama administration is not doing enough to help. >> >> plus, could nascar's military sponsorship come to a screeching halt? congress now trying to put the

brakes on funding. fox sports broadcaster and nascar legend darryl waltrip joins us to talk about that and more. "fox & friends" hours number two starts right now. ♪ >> happy memorial day weekend, everyone. welcome to "fox & friends." thanks so much for waking up with us. maybe you are heading out on the road today. 30 million people expected to hit the roads this holiday weekend. that's uptick from last year. 400,000 more people hitting the road this year than last year which is good news. gas prices have plummeted quite a bit. >> you hit the road clayton and i will be here on the curvey couch through monday. are you going to get out and do your 50 plus miles which is what he is referring to. >> yeah. i'm going to do 50 plus miles. everybody get out of my way. get off of i-95 please. meanwhile, we have to tell you some updates in the story, of course, that has gripped the country and that is what happened to etan patz?

the timing is chilling. the day that this new suspect was arraigned was 33 years to the day. it was the friday before memorial day that etan patz headed out to the bus stop 33 years ago for the first time ever his parents let him go by himself and he disappeared. >> as you know now 51-year-old pedro hernandez has confessed to the killing 33 years ago. he was arraigned on second degree murder charges on friday. his lawyer says he suffers from many psychological problems, including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia hallucinations and buried in the stories about him is he also suffers, he also has h.i.v. what will happen to him though is probably the most interesting part to me personally. he may not go to jail because a conviction is just -- excuse me a confession is not enough for a conviction here in new york state. >> this is the most interesting part of this whole case as well. new york state criminal code basically says that a pepper may not be convicted of any crime or offense solely upon

evidence of a confession or admission made by him without additional proof that the offense charge has been committed. that the is criminal code in the state of new york. it's hard to know actually because northwestern university, i referred to this earlier, in march did a study on wrongful convictions, which happened quite a bit. turns out over half of wrongful convictions in this country turn out to be because of confessions. so the cops, whether it's coerced by the cops or whether it's not, these folks end up behind bars and some cases 17 years they turn out that they were just lying about their confession all along. >> by the way, there was a different suspect who for years police believed actually did. he was incarcerated a convicted pedophile. he was a drifter. he was a former boyfriend of one of etan patz' babysitters that's how police linked jose ramos. the "new york post" thought the police really missed some golden opportunities 33 years ago. basically what happened at that time there was no

centralized data base like there is now. there was no center of national missing children. >> or d.n.a. data base. >> things have changed. hundreds of police officers who dedicated their career to cracking this case. apparently they weren't working in concert with each other and they missed this guy who was known as having a short fuse and being angry guy who worked at this bodega. >> right next to the bus stop. what else was missed maybe not missed but turned over to the police several family members knew that something happened regarding pedro martinez in the 1980s he confessed he even told people i did something bad i killed a young kid in new york. told family members this and told other members of a religious retreat in the '80s no one turned that over to police. there is one family member that says he confessed to police but was dismissed because he was, quote, too crazy. we don't know if that was officially confession but that is from a family member.

>> it is eerie when you pick up the post this morning. here is the cover photo. what you see is the building in the background. bus stop in the foreground. this photo was snapped by etan's father and he took it just right around the time that etan went missing. what he didn't know when he snapped this photo, he just thought he was taking the bus stop photo is that photo behind is the sandwich shop. it's the little bodega where pedro hernandez worked and where he says he ended up killing etan. he snaps this photo of the bus stop lo and behold in the basement in the building behind is where his son was killed. >> national children missing day inspired by the disappearance. >> later we have pat brown on a criminal profiler and what all parents want to know, is this somebody who just snaps? there are there any warning signs to see these people out in the general public? all he says, this is what he says, i had an urge to kill

that day. >> we should say the main point, the crux of this entire thing comes down to what he told police that wasn't in the newspapers. you couldn't just pick up the newspaper and read at the time. he told them something that only the police knew, that's the key. that's the key to his confession. >> psychologically also interesting is that the parents never moved. 33 years they stayed in the exact same spot. >> they were waiting foray tan to come back. let's get to the other headlines and see what's making news today. calls for iranian officials to answer for higher enrichment of uranium that has been found at a plant in iran. the finding could mean the country has moved closer to reaching the uranium threshold needed to arm nuclear missiles. tehran has reportedly said that a technical glitch is to blame but the report comes at a time when iran has been criticized for being uncooperative in negotiations over its nuclear program. nebraska family captures this terrifying twister right before it completely destroys their home. brian hecken balk and his wife

here is what it is put out by the obama administration and it is a way to educate kids about money and how to handle money. how to grow with money and basically how to be fiscally responsible. making some jokes about this because he finds the irony rich that, you know, obviously we have this massive debt problem and that the president he says has not reigned in spending so why would the president be giving your children financial advice when we have a 15 trillion-dollar debt clock that's ticking? so he has had some fun with some of these pieces of advice. >> he is arkansas representative tim griffin. he has taken to twitter to have some fun with that web site money as you grow.org. one thing your kid isn't taught share of the national debt $50,000 each. >> 20 points on this list. number 20 on the list he loves

consider -- this is is advice from this web site. consider two factors before investing. risks and expenses. though tim griffin jokes that aren't taxpayer dollars being used on when you consider taxpayer money and solyndra are involved, i guess exclude those as reasons. >> basically the way the web sight works we have it here it, breaks down advice you should give your 3 to 5-year-old, then your 5 to 7-year-old, 7 to 10-year-old through the years. >> the reason this is so ironic is because it's good advice but the government doesn't listen to it. >> right. >> at first i was looking at tim griffin. i didn't know much about him. as as dave mentioned arkansas republic. is he one of these republicans who was around during the bush years and helped contribute to all this massive spending? no, he was washed in on the tea party in 2010. came in on a wave of tea party. small businessman, veteran. one of these fiscally responsible guy the irony is so rich here the government is

this is hurting our ability to go forward to bring people into the system for people like me to go out and find people like the doctor to give us the key information that makes a difference. this made a huge difference. this helped us get to where we needed to be. the fact that the pakistanis who failed to do it are after this guy now is indicative of the fact that they still are playing both sides against the other. the white house should have been on this once panetta admitted this guy helped us. >> trickling out effort made by doctor pakistan ahead of this. i'm interested in moving forward and what you write about on your opinion piece on fox foxnews.com. how likely are we to get the next guy down the line to help us provide some of this information? >> well, that's the key. we have signals intelligence, wiretapping, imagery intelligence looking at things. satellites and imagery. the key thing here is we have

to get on the inside of these networks. they know we can do these other things. that's why we have to have people like this guy under the radar. human asset is what we call them. critical during the cold war. even more critical to get into the small networks for the war on terror. frankly, going forward now, why would anybody want to cooperate with us if they think that they may end up like this guy in some regard? what's worse here is the white house has done this a couple times now. they also blew the whole underwear bomber operation in yemen, saudis and british the the britishs are upset with us now because we ruined their operation. we should quit bragging about operations like this. should not be nonpartisan and political. this should be off the radar. this is hurting everything we do going forward. >> explain how these operations usually work. the minute that bin laden was found and detected is usually a doctor or whistle blower like this ferried out of the country? >> absolutely. during the cold war can s. a great example like that. we used to have a plans on a

place put a guy on a truck and get him out. this is something we should have looked at. worse case scenario. this is what i used to when i ran operations like this. what do we do when things go wrong. reassure the asset over and over again. we are going to take care of you and take care of your family. that's what i think has failed here. >> colonel tony shaffer great piece you wall street on foxnews.com we will post that on facebook and twitter. >> thank you. >> possible new link to childhood obesity what the hospital delivery room has to do with that. >> plus, we're celebrating fleet week u.s. coast guard drill team standing by on the plaza. a performance from them. in the midst of it. still ahead. need any help?

>> men out there put down the coffee for a minute and gather up the wife and pay attention to this. very important story you can hold off on the coffee for a minute. a government task force says doctors should no longer perform prostate cancer screenings on healthy men. that happened this week. and that it could lead to unnecessary biopsies for men who don't have cancer. next guest dr. some mattie a man's choice not to take a test could be deadly. dr. david some mattie joins us now to talk about this you were at a convention this week with a number of urology gists you heard this report and were outraged about it. >> this news has made a lot of

urology gists really really angry. got hundreds of emails from men in 40s and 50s really upset how can u.s. task force come up with regulations. not putting i had guidelines. not get mammogram over the age of 50. now they are saying this is not a good test. as a result it's going to lead to a lot of confusion and a lot of issues. this is what we know about this psa test. we know it's not the most sensitive test for prostate cancer but that's all we have got. so to say not to get screened i think it's very irresponsible. this u.s. task force is a group of attorneys and family practitioners and not one urology gist is a member of this team. you need to have the test and get the information and what you do with that test is up to you and your doctor. i prefer for you to see someone who is the expert in prostate cancer and not just to take this very lightly. >> don't take it lightly and

on your screen right now this is why getting a screening so necessary. every year some 30,000 u.s. men die from prostate cancer. psa screenings can detect prostate cancer in its earliest stages for psa test to save one man's life from prostate cancer 1,000 must be screened. that's what the government panel said this week. it costs money you have to screen 1,000 men to find one man that has prostate cancer that was their reasoning behind. this you think that is bologna. >> listen, clayton, what's the price of saving someone's life? one life who has a person who has a wife who has children. that's what makes the healthcare in this country so great because we're spending money to save lives. so to say that, you know, you don't need to screen, i think it's very very irresponsible look at the data. 30,000 men still die in 2011. one out of six men has prostate cancer. this is a serious topic.

sings the invention of psa in the last two decades. 40% reduction in mortality or death. we don't see a lot of men in our hospital with bone spread or bone metastases or those type of things. >> why are not men not getting this? is it because they are scared of getting it. >> women, when the task force said no mammogram came in the age of 50. you saw what happened. everyone came out and talked about it. men, we don't want to be bothered with. this the scary part about this is that men will say to their wives, you know what? u.s. task force is saying you don't need to test, let's just go home. we don't want to talk about. this we are a different species. >> men look for excuse not to get t and this government task torres didn't help things men get out there and get your screening. >> the truth is, clayton, not every elevated psi means biopsy not every biopsy means surgery or radiation. this whole fear tactic that you are going to be incontinent for the rest of your life that's bogus. find yourself a good doctor a

discontinue it is just somebody that really needs to do a little bit more homework. i have a suggestion for some of our political friends. maybe you should put the sponsors that you have on your uniform. maybe when you show up at work every morning you should have your primary sponsor and subs over here so supreme know who support you? >> fantastic stuff d.w., i love that very good relationship between the military and nascar. is t. seems to fit so well. today you are at the coca cola 600. this weekend used to be all about the indy 500. and now richard petty comes out and says i think the 600 is a bigger deal than the 500. do you agree with that? >> well, first of all this is an iconic weekend. the f-1 cars are in monaco. indy cars in indianapolis. and all of us here on sunday night, tomorrow night umsd the lies for 600 miles the most grilling race that we have. no question about it. this race is the crescendo of the day. this is the cream of the cream

"fox & friends" hour three starts right now. >> good morning, it's memorial day weekend. i survived the formation from the national guard. we didn't yet show it we will show it later in the program. with bayonets flying right by your face and your ear and other parts. >> we were wondering if the rifles were loaded and if they were actually sharpened bayonets on the front of it. >> yes. they touch one right up to your nose just to let you know they are sharp. >> a little nic here. >> that's a sticker from my son. my daughter. >> they gave you happy face. >> let's tell you the developments in the top story today. that is what happened to little etan patz 33 years ago. the timing is really unbelievable and will give you goose bumps the fact that

someone was arrested and charged on the very day, the friday before memorial day that 33 years ago etan baits disappeared this man has now been charged with the murder. >> interestingly that very fact that you mentioned t was an anniversary of his death could also be a reason why prosecutors in this case could be a little skeptical and you can't just roll over and say this thing is case closed solved as some the newspapers have said in the past week. because in the state of new york you cannot rely solely on a confession alone. the new york state criminal code says this: a pinner may not be convicted of any offense solely upon evidence of a confession or admission made by him with without additional proof that the offense charged has been committed. you need additional evidence in this case. >> this is very interesting. there is no physical evidence, no fingerprints there is no

body. he did confess to family members and to other people at a religious retreat in the 1980s. he he said i did a bad thing, i killed a boy in new york. now why in the world none of those family members, none of those other members of the religious retreat went to the police immediately and told them this -- we do not know. one family member says he did in fact confess to police but was dismissed as, quote, too nuts. >> that's what i was just going to stay. maybe they dismissed him also. maybe the religious retreat the cops when he came forward with own confession to police their quote was he was a nut job. >> that's right. now of course hindsight is 2020. 30 years ago no centralized data base for missing children. there were no milk cartons, etan patz was the very first one so while police did their best and god knows this case haunted them for 33 years.

some of them were hiding information from each other because they wanted to be the detective who scored this big find so they say think missed it what some witnesses say worked at this bodega on the corner where etan patz disappeared. he was known for having a short fuse. violent temper known for being a little bit off. >> here is his wife and his daughter, pedro hernandez' wife and daughter coming obviously as you pointed out earlier living a life of hell coming out of the courthouse yesterday during this arraignment. of course, etan's body has not been recovered and at issue is the evidence, a lack of d.n.a. evidence, a lack of forensic and physical evidence. and furthermore, they don't know and police need to verify. this does pedro tell the police something we don't know just from having read the papers over the last 33 years. is there something that he says to the police that they never released publicly? that would be the green light

that would say yes, case closed, solved, you know something that the public doesn't know. >> interesting aspects we have talked about another one is that the parents of etan patz never left. they lived in the same apartment that they did 33 years ago. still some say waiting for etan to come home. >> they never changed their phone number. >> never changed their number. never left. never moved. had to walk by that very scene every day a couple times a day. coferl of the "new york post" this morning shows the photo. the dad that etan took many years ago. this is of the scene and right there if you could see it on the far left is the very bow dig go where pedro hernandez worked. that was the very scene in which we now believe the young man was killed. >> right. so the father had no idea at the time and he inadvertently snapped a picture of the crime scene to. your point, they also say this suspect, hernandez has mental issues that they say that he has been diagnosed as schizophrenic or bipolar that will also complicate the

prosecution. is he in belleview hospital this morning. he suffers from hallucinations according to his attorney it is complicated. we do have a criminal profiler on later to give us insight into what possibly went wrong here. >> fascinating. >> let's get to your headlines and tell you what else is happening this morning. we begin with reports u.s. drone strike that killed three militants in pakistan. waziristan hot bed for extremists. third strike reported by the pakistani government. the cia is not commenting at this time. authorities in arizona need your help tracking down this gunman. they say 38-year-old thomas morton is wanted for allegedly shooting and killing his ex-girlfriend in the parking lot of a high school in avon dale. the two reportedly had a history of domestic violence. and on monday the victim filed a restraining order against him. witnesses say moton quickly fled the scene on call kawasaki motorcycle. weighs wearing a red and black jacket.

against the global war on terror. that's our responsibility as americans to support them and to take care of them because they are the ones who put themselves in the face of danger. >> gallagher hopes to raise $100,000 today. for more information visit www.100-mile marine.com. 100 miles is he running. >> he is training with -- he has run up to 26 miles. he really has no idea what to expect from 100 miles. >> you can't run 100 miles in preparation for the thing. is he a marine. is he just going to make it through. >> no, honey, i will be home in time for dinner. have to run 100 miles. >> janice dean watching all of the weather. everyone wants to know how memorial day weekend barbecue also look. >> the pressure is on. thanks for reminding me. much of the country looks very good. high pressure and control over the central u.s. the temperatures are going to be very warm. keep that in mind. lots of fluids. that doesn't include the

alcohol. and make sure you are in light clothing and you can go into the airconditioning if you have that across the west though we're dealing with cooler than average temperatures snow. dominant pressure around that ridge we could see showers or thunderstorms to the northern plains, upper midwest, great lakes region. and then we are watching. this this is subtropical storm beryl. subtropical storm meaning it has characteristics of a tropical storm and regular low pressure system off the coast. and this is the official track as of 8:00 a.m. we just got this one in. so we're expecting the storm to kind of slow down and linger for a little bit. expected landfall sometime overnight, monday. around the border of florida and georgia we are dealing with some heavy rain and gusty winds not going to be a hurricane. just going to be kind of a bad beach day and a date where you don't want to be outdoors barbecuing. back to you guys. >> i love the names of these storms we had bud and beryl. >> that's not as cool as hot tub jeff.

>> who is hot tub jeff. >> is he gone from the gsa. talking about jeff neeley. set one responsible for $800,000 convention. and one of the most notorious photos in history. he is now out from the gsa but he is getting a lovely parting gift. >> he is. he gets $100,000 in federal money, meaning your taxpayer money a year because of his sweetheart deal. his sweetheart golden parachute. even though he grossly mismanaged funds and there was a complete reckless disregard for his behavior, i mean for the rules, i should say and how he was supposed to be conducting himself. he also was in charge of that hats off awards program that just randomly gave out prizes. >> whatever you felt. >> they made up points and gave hut things -- out things like ipods to employees. he gets huge payouts from taxpayers. >> this is not sitting well with lawmakers. john mica from florida fired

up about this and spoke to greta last night "on the record" which happens to be the name of her show. >> these are, again, high level officials. and then they are paid and then, you know, they slip out by cutting a deal on their retirement. that shouldn't be allowed. you know, taxpayers, no pun intend ited, already took a bath with this guy. >> we heard about this kind of stuff before, right? there was a lot of outrage about anthony weiner he left disgraced from the house of representatives. it turns it out is he going to get a nice pension for the rest of his life. >> sure. >> let's also remember this jeff neeley not only did very all of these, you know, reckless spending and abuses of power. he also didn't cooperate with the congressional committee that was trying to investigate what went wrong here to make sure it never happened again. he employed the fifth. he protected himself. didn't help the taxpayers. now $100,000 a year. the number is staggering. many of you driving this memorial day weekend. some of you flying.

imagine if you are flying with your family of four. you show up to the gate and they tell it you if you guys actually want to sit with your kids that will be an extra 150 bucks round trip. some airlines are thinking about charging you more to sit with your children. >> it comes down to the bottom line at that points, right? it looks like they are catering to business passengers who they have three or four times a week that are flying with them. elite passengers they want to indicater too first and maybe the family is only flying to them once a year disney world. weigh who is more important to us. >> the reason you are going to have to pay more. premium on window and aisle seats. so if you are a family of four as dave said you are not all going to be able to sit together because you have to have window seats. so your 3-year-old can have a middle seat three rows in front of you. we talked from fliers rights.org. she doesn't think this new rule makes a lot of sense. >> very antifamily provision and i think it's going to back

fire. i were seated next to someone else's 2-year-old and the parent wasn't there to help that child it. it would be a very awkward experience not only for the family not sitting together but for the people sitting next to them. >> here is what united airlines says. echos what i was saying about business passengers. our practice of calling passengers early. >> early boarding. >> early boarding practice as well caused more confusion than less. we made this change to simplify the boarding process and we have found that it's working according to plan. this was part 2 of the punch to the face this week by saying no more kids preboarding. >> it will back fire because if you are one of those business travelers who has an aisle and you are sitting next to my son. is he a great kid, you are going to want that money back. >> there is no amount of gummy bears in the world that i could provide a stranger to feed my children on a flight. >> tell us how you feel about this on ff weekend on twitter. >> maybe a sugar high is not the greatest thing for a long

flight. >> is that what is going wrong. >> i think it's a great effort. >> coming up on the show. a new poll shows mitt romney holds a big lead over president obama among financially struggling white voters. so will this be a problem for the president? we will break it down for you next.

>> welcome back. romney holds a large lead over president obama when it comes to middle class white voters. take a look at this new poll. mitt romney has a 26% lead when it comes to who middle class white voters think would do more to advance their economic interests. but is this something that will hurt the president in the november election? joining me now to analyze is

the author of outnumbered. and fox news contributor jackson is also here. nice to see you this morning. >> nice to be here. >> santita is this a problem for president obama this most recent poll. >> we have to be historical about. this these are voters who did not vote for president obama in 2008. president obama actually got an amall gam of votes. got a majority of minorities, blacks, women, hispanics, gays. >> independents? >> exactly. i'm concerned about this because all americans are hurting but what's tucked inside of these polls are these numbers that show that a slight majority of these people who were polled feel that president obama is actually more sympathetic to the interest of the middle class. >> that's an interesting point so. these folks, these folks general i do a might not have voted for president obama anyway, do you buy that? >> a lot of voters very enthusiastic about him in 2008, the young voters for

example, female voters, a lot of those voters aren't nearly as enthusiastic now. a -- >> may i add this. we also have republic nominee presumptive by default. you have a tamped down republic electorate and democratic electorate. what will that mean? >> independence, right? is that where search focused right now hispanics and i wants. independents. who can engage and light a little bit of a fire underneath independents. >> people focused on jobs and the economy. that's the number one issue right now. i think that the democrats have failed miserably when it comes to the attack on bain capital, for example and private equity. mitt romney has the business experience that barack obama lacked. i think a lot of people are looking at the amount of money that was pumped through the economy in the name of stimulus and they are not seeing the results. at the end of the day if you

are out of work. your loved ones are out of work. you go to the grocery store things cost more. gas prices whether or not barack obama can do something about that in the immediate future, that's all part of his potential for re-election. >> santita, is there a problem, middle class worker making 40,000 and drops down to 30,000 in this recession. do they blame president obama for that. >> they really should not because the fact is we have been on this track for quite some time. at the end of the day 70% of the voters feel that well they have had exposure. that is to say 70% of americans know someone who lost a job. or they lost a job themselves. so i would hope that the republics and the democrats would come up with a program for student loans. 1 trlz. $1 trillion. look at the economy, jobs jobs jobs jobs. and talk to corporate titans who americans, we cannot -- the corporations there is no interest in them hiring american workers anymore. that's awful. >> we appreciate you joining us this morning. thanks so much. >> coming up on the show.

has been a lesson. it's not easy. so to create something you have to really figure out if you can do it. you have to have help around you and you have got your daughter which you are so lucky i have got my husband. you work it out. >> that's a great key. >> bradley, trish cooper, carrie, thanks for sharing this with us. we will put links on our web site thanks for coming. in earlier we telling you about marine veteran running 100 miles to raise money for our brave troops sacrificed their lives for us in honor of 9/11 victims as well. make sure to visit this web site. 100-mile marine.com to find out how you can help. plus, of course it's fleet week. anna kooiman is live on the uss warp. -- wasp. >> one of the fan favorites, the -- we will talk to the officer in charge next. don't you go anywhere.

[screams] >> we would have taken up a collection. >> but we would have had to have finished the show first. >> that was part of our fleet week celebrations. the 25th anniversary. for more of that, we have anna kooiman meeting the troops this morning. good morning to you, anna. what's going on? >> hey, good morning to you, yes. 6,000 men and women in uniform from both u.s. and coalition forces are docked here in new

york city we're on board the "u.s.s. wasp." it's the largest of the 22 ships here. the public is invited to come and tour around that some of the excitement you are seeing behind me. i'm joined by the marine aviation officer in charge major aaron vondz. good morning to you. v 22 off spring. you say t helps to travel twice as fast since it takes off like a helicopter but flies like a plane. >> replaces the medium lift helicopters in the marine corps and takes off like a helicopter and lands like a helicopter but flies like a plane which enables us to go twice as fast and two or three times as far. >> give us a few more specs. >> i can give you an example. recently flew a v 22 from jacksonville, north carolina to montreal, canada and landed on an legal low pad and we did that in one shot. >> how long would it normally take. >> helicopter take up to two days. we used to fly across country from coast to coast four days in a helicopter and now we do it in one day. >> what's it like being in the

marines when you are on a navy ship. >> the blue green team, we start out training together. started out training in the navy command. we do a lot of the same stuff. all the aviation flight schools for navy marine corps, coast guard all start out in the navy commands and so we have worked together. we speak the same language. very nice. welcome to new york city. >> okay. thank you. >> guys back to you. >> great stuff, anna. >> the number went up you said 4,000. >> 4,000 u.s. 2,000 coalition. >> i see what you are saying. you were just trying to seat ratio of men to women. >> i have counted every single one of them. trust me. meanwhile, let's get to your headlines. we have to tell you what's happening at this hour there are shocking new details in the case of that missing 6-year-old isabel is he lease. new documents reveal one

person said the family owed money staying there. another pointed the finger at celis' father who has apparently been under scrutiny in this case before. birmingham, alabama police officer finding himself on the wrong side of a jail cell. accused of settle fire to two abandoned homes in the middle of the night. word is is he may be connected to more than a dozen other house fires as well. no word on a motive. now, we first told you about this 6-year-old who completed this rare unassisted triple play well, now he is being honored by his favorite team the atlanta braves. ross on cloud 9 after being named honorary team captain' game against the washington nationals. >> oh [inaudible] is this him? yes! >> he does seem excited. he also brought the braves lineup card to the umpires and attended batting practice. those are your headlines.

>> all right. thank you so much, alisyn. let's bring in the governor. governor mike huckabee. there is only one governor that we talk to on a regular basis. >> is he really the nation's governor. >> he really is. >> is that possible? we will see if we can make it possible. >> probably not. >> good morning, sir. welcome. >> thank you. >> i'm sure you heard what president obama said out on the campaign trail talking about how he is in a sense lowered government spending to levels not seen in 60 years. do we have the sound bite so we can have the governor react to t? perhaps not. >> what my opponent didn't tell you was that federal spending, since i took office, has risen at the slowest pace of any president in almost 60 years. [ applause ] >> meanwhile, the "the washington post" glen kessler, their fact checker says three pinocchios for that statement for many different reasons. what do you think about what the president is trying to sell out there? >> well, this is one of those

pants on fire moments if you want to look at it. arkansas when i served as governor stanley ross. wonderful man and great statesman he used to say that figures lie and liars figure. what he meant by that was that you can twist numbers to say anything you want them to mean. this is a classic example. because what president obama had to do to come up with this sort of magic formula was to extract all of the spending in 2009 that was his. that included the porkulous bill, he called it the stimulus. it included money that even the bush administration didn't want to spend on tarp but the obama administration did, and all of those moneys and some others were assigned to george bush even though bush had long since gone back to texas. now, the reason he did that was because of the federal fiscal date. the point of all of this is that was money that obama authorized the expenditure of. it's like blaming george bush

for gas that joe biden made in 2009 and just moving the calendar back and saying it doesn't count. it's the only way you can come up with it plus also manipulating the rate of inflation. several mathematical tricks it was convoluted formula. quite creative to come up with something that was absolutely off the mark. >> even rnc seems confused by these numbers. they came out and said all right. well, spend something down. is trending down. the president may be on the lower side of that the debt, that's the big issue. they're calling him the debt president in chief. is is that the issue that republicans are going to go on, this is the debt president? >> long term it is because that's what's going going to effect the country's economy and effect future generations. if you are a young american, nothing ought to worry you more than the debt because it doesn't matter what just that we spent last year and whether we got anything from it. it's who is going to pay for it. and the fact is this is like finding out when you graduate from college that you are not

just paying your college loan off, but you are paying the college loans off for your parents who have been out of college for 40 years. i don't know too many kids who would say that's fine. i'm delighted to do that. no, they are not. they are not fine with that and that's in essence what every younger person faces. they are not just paying off what their benefits are from the government. they are paying off benefits from people, a generation, two generations away from them and for all that they are going to pay, they get nothing. nothing. >> governor, let's switch topics for a second. 43 catholic entities are now suing the obama administration because of that healthcare mandate that stipulates that they have to provide contraception coverage that seems like a big story. yet, the most of the media outlets have not covered this massive lawsuit. why not? >> it's like not covering the i have a dream speech by martin luther king 1963.

like missing the roe v. wade decision and not thinking that's significant. it's like somehow missing brown vs. board of education. this is one of the most significant historic lawsuits in the past 100 years because what you have are the major diocese and the most significant parts of the largest christian body in the world suing the president of the united states that is not small potatoes. let's remember, the catholics are not historically a republic organization even right leaning, typically i think catholics tend to vote more democratic than republic. you can't say this is some partisan effort to embarrass the president. this is the last resort by people of conviction and faith. this is a government grossly overstepped constitutional authority and done exactly what the first amendment prohibited it from doing.

having respect restrict free practices of faith. >> governor, stick around with us. we have much more to talk with you about. including the issue over this pakistani doctor and the relationship with the united states government going forward. governor, stick around. >> also, fire up the grill, folks, our next guest cooking up favorite american recipes for your memorial day barbecue. things you haven't seen before. ♪ [ banker ] mike and brenda found a house that they really wanted. it was in my sister's neighborhood. i told you it was perfect for you guys. literally across the street from her sister.

tornado. you can see why it is named that. it touched down in russell, kansas. although it may look small these types of twisters get more intense as they get more are narrow. a massive cyber attack targeting top oh he phoenixes. the fbi revealing that latin americas dip inside a retirement fund database accessing the social security numbers of more than 100,000 government workers. among them, military personnel and 25 people 25 members of co. the attack reportedly happened in july of last year but the victims are just finding out about it now. and jaw dropping video surfacing online. you are looking at an 80-year-old woman sky diving for her birthday when things go terribly wrong. it starts with h her looking tare fide after an instructor pushes her out of a plane. then the unthinkable happens. the woman slips out of her

harness. incredibly she manages to hang on by a thread until they land. the horrifying scene unfolding a year ago but the video is just surfacing now. that added years to that 80-year-old's life. >> she was 87 a year are later. >> remember when president george h.w. bush did that for his birthday. >> yes. >> can we vow to do this. >> i think we should vow to not do this. >> add something else to your bucket list like go to see a vineyard. >> janice dean in for rick reichmuth. check of the weather. speaking of rick reichmuth where is that guy? >> enjoying a barbecue some where or getting prepared for something. >> or jumping out of a plane, who knows. >> i think he is in town. we are are all on call this weekend. a lot of weather to talk about.

extreme heat across the central u.s. and a subtropical storm meaning it has characteristics of a tropical system and nontropical, low pressure system. heat across the central u.s. around that ridge of h high pressure that is where we are seeing the increment weather. could see shores and thunderstorms and even higher elevation snow. the pocket of cold air across the rockies. you can see the center of circulation the last few frames. we have terrorism warnings meaning conditions go downhill over the next 46 hours for the region around volusia and bravard county. we think this is going to make landfall sunday into monday as a tropical storm. gusty winds. not beach day but not talking about a big hurricane or anything.

just something that is going to ruin some barbecues, that is it. >> thank you, janice. it is time to join us on the show. former advisor to president clinton and the author of brand new book on store shelves now called "screwed." dick more resources, thank you for joining us this memorial day weekend. >> easy title to remember. >> the president going after mitt romney's time at bain capital. not running away from it this past week, doubling even tripling down. let's listen to what he had to say. >> president obama was fielding different kinds of questions over his campaign and a new ad attacking republican mitt romney. >> they are calling what is happening now to obama the bain mutiny. top democrats. >> senator mark warren a democrat. >> new york mayor corey booker. >> this is nauseating to me. >> steve radner. >> lanny davis former special

counsel to press clinton. >> duvall patrick. >> senator finestein. >> each going after and saying the president is wrong to attack mitt romney. >> some of the president's loyal supporters are saying enough. >> let me paraphrase what the president said, dick, this is not a distraction, this is what the campaign is going be about. is it going to be a mistake? >> the reason the democrats are piling on, many of them i guess have gotten campaign contributions from bain capital and other private equity firms, particularly the two senators from new york. obama attack on romney is fundmentally inaccurate in two respects. first of all, they say that he outsourced jobs to mexico and china. he did. bain did but that was two years after romney left. and they talk about a call center that was outsourced by

the massachusetts government. that is true. but he inherited that and he got rid of it and in fact they moved back to the u.s. to utah. on the generic issue. the "wall street journal" did a study and found that 22% of the time the companies that bain was involved with did go bankrupt but 78% were rescued and turned around and these were call drowning companies to start with and 780 is a good batting average. >> interesting this week. something that most of us learned about or didn't know much about was the u.n. law of the sea treaty. and interestingly this week senator john kerry basically asked the administration to get on board with this. a treaty that long laid dormant. it could never get approved. just kept sitting there. now, it looks like the obama

administration is pulling out the big guns on this thing and there seems to be support although you take issue with this. why he? >> three days ago they had the hearing on the treaty and panetta and hillary and the head of the joint chiefs test fide for it. it has solid democratic support and a bunch of i would call them rhino republicans for it 86 think it is is a terrible treaty. it sets up an international seabed authority of 160 nations like under the u.n. and says that they will have a judicial tribunial that will decide which sea shoul lanes should b. right now the navy determines and keeps them open for everybody. it has been effective in doing that and very impartial.

this cedes into a body that may be andty american becaus. another thing that is worse is it gives' way half of our off shore oil and drilling royalties to the seabed authority which then gives it to third world countries and that transfer of wealth initially is $20 billion a year and would rise to several hundred billion dollars after five to seven years. in addition we are obliged to give other nations our drilling technology. the final thing is this treatia has a cause empowering the seabed authority to make regulations to fight ocean pollution and one of the things they say polluting the ocean is warming. it is crucial this be defeated. i urge people to get my book "screwed" and read about it and take action.

it comes up in a few weeks. we want to talk about what is going on in wisconsin. scott walker as the governor there fighting for his political life as this recall against him. there was a fire arey debate he engaged in with his opponent last night. let's take a list. >> he wants this state to be the prototype for the tea party nationally. that is why he is such a rock star. they love him. the conservatives love him. the right wing loves him because he is doing exactly what he -- they want him to do. >> there is something wrong when you have a sitting governor who raised 60% to 70% of his money from out of state. >> we wouldn't have to raise or spend a penny in the election if it weren't for the out-of-state special interests. we saw reports of more money coming in and pouring into the greater wisconsin committee which is a front group for all the union money coming in here. >> what is going to happen in wisconsin? >> the polls have walker narrowly ahead.

this is an absolutely crucial race. a very good bellwether for the 2012 election. if walker wins here that will be huge mind kateing romney's chances. secondly and more importantly this is the future of education in the country. the burden of his reforms was to say you can't have teacher tenure. you can't -- you have to have merit pay for teachers and you can't waste education money on union projects like marked up health insurance which you could get much more cheaply some place else. the result for example is milwaukee city got $40 million more last year they could spend on education because they marked down the health insurance but with the same coverage. the union just didn't get the profit. this is the future of education in america and it is terribly important that everybody do everything they can to support scott walker not just for its

national political implications but because we tried everything else to improve our schools and it failed and this is it. >> could become a precedent if he ends up walking away with this thing. >> exactly. and a precedent if he loses. if if he loses nobody will touch this issue. >> dick morris, you are the author of "screwed." thanks for being with us. >> coming up on the show, he confessed to killing etan patz. we will talk to a criminal profiler next. and a special surprise for these kids as their soldier mom and dad return from serving our country. we are there to share that heart warming homecoming, still ahead.

♪ 33 years to the day after etan patz disappeared an arrest was made. 51-year-old pedro he hernandez a former convenience store clerk confessed according to police. how could someone commit such you a horrific crime and go on to lead a regular life? let's ask criminal profiler pat brown. pat, great to see you. >> bullpen. >> according to police reports and what they told the media this guy pedro hernandez never met etan patz before that day. he saw a 6-year-old heading to a bass stop and decided to lure them to a basement because he said he had the urge to kill him. what is that? >> well, it is one of two

things. one is he is actually a child sex predator who then did something terrible to the little boy and then killed him afterwards because that is what he would have to probably do and doesn't want to admit this part or just lying about the whole thing and really didn't do anything to the child at all. >> why can't he just be a sociopath who really did have that sort of unbridled urge that day. >> we do see sociopaths involved in killing but with a little child there is usually something sexual associated with it. i i don't want to believe that it is possible that somebody just has this overwhelming urge and then does something so heinous. does at any time surprise you that this guy hernandez was out of the spot light for 33 year.

>> i don't really buy the story that that is all that would have happened if he really was guilty the crime and it doesn't mean he didn't commit other crimes. he hasn't been caught. after all if he did this one he wasn't caught either was he. just because 30 years has gone by doesn't mean a heck of a lot. we know there are child predators caught and they go back and then find a dozen children and they have no idea it was the guy. >> let's talk about his family for a second. there are media reports that he told them that he had done something terrible in new york city. he even told them i killed a child. what is the psychology of family members who wouldn't turn them in. >> they probably didn't believe them and i don't know that i believe them. i don't know that they have any evidence that he is telling the truth. you will take a case that is big in the media and have somebody crawl out of some place and claim they killed the

person. go back to jonbenet ramsey. some people like the attention and drama around it. if he has problems, a mental problem, schizophrenia, things like that maybe he just confessed to things he didn't do. and maybe show just shrugged and said i didn't think so. >> his attorney says he is prone to hallucinations. what would convince you that he is in fact the killer. >> at this point probably nothing. i heard the police said he had information about the crime that no one else knew. i don't know what that could possibly be. there is no physical body. they don't have a crime scene any more. what could he tell them that is so unique? i don't really buy it. they had the other suspect for all these years until they bud up the basement and they were so sure they were going to find the little boy's remains in the

basement and arrest the original suspect. all of a sudden this guy confessed he did it, he has the information. i don't believe it and i don't think it will hold up in court. >> we shall she what happens in the case. pat brown, thanks for joining us, we appreciate it. more fox and friends in just two minutes.

apologize and we would be like why are you apologizing and he said my generation is going to be handing down a big bill to you guys. as we got older we he understand the implications this of so we became concerned. >> when we talked about the group we said nonpartisan. you do not direct the frustrations necessarily to republicans or democrats but all politicians? >> that's right. and as we like to say this isn't a republican or democrat issue. this is a generational issue and frankly a math issue. if you look at the numbers the numbers just don't add up. we are nonpartisan and we don't adhere to party lines at all but rather to ideals and those ideals being fiscal responsibility, living within your means and other are basic what we see as common sense principles. >> the ideals, though, mike, do you feel the current administration is sticking and abiding to them. >> no. this is an administration is promised cuts and they have not

followed through with those promises. and a lot of the issues going around right now in terms of what this office is doing in terms of winning the teen and student vote is about fairness. and what we feel is it is not fair that the older generation gets to live above their means today where we will be forced to live below them tomorrow. that is what liberty we are trying -- >> real quick, where can folks go to learn more about this? >> go to www. sosliberty.com. we are creating a someone stop shop for youth to come together and be concerned about your fiscal health. not just the youth, all americans that want to restore fiscal responsibility to the area. and our facebook. we are quickly becoming a national voice for fiscal responsibility. >> i feel much better about today's youth. mike diamond, maria, and char lee are are from sos liberty.

weekend is here you are are running out of time. >> i told my wife this and a few weeks ago we went to home depot and got ourselves a brand new grill and my wife said it is summer and you have to go buy a grill now. >> if you are new to gelling or looking to replace a grill. do you want charcoal or gas. gas if you are planning to cook out a lot it is a little more convenient because it is always hooked up and just basically turn it on. with charcoal if you are not looking to cook out as oft ten might be a good choice. people love the smoky flavor so there is a little more prep for this. >> and with some of the gas grills one of the choices i made was maybe the external burner to warm up other things like baked beans or do other things on the grill. >> we are focusing on folks who maybe are not prepared for the weekend. this is a four burner gas grill. can fit up to 32 burgers on here. >> wow.

>> 634 square inches of space. >> that is not enough room for briggs. >> this is a limited time special buy $199. a lot of grill for $199. and they always have the extra burners on the side which is cool but this is nice because the cover is with the top so you can use this as a work area, too. the one touch cleaning system at the bottom. >> patio furniture. can't have people standing around not being able to eat their burgers. >> you can, but you they won't be very happy. we ared by folks who we got from the crowd who agreed to join us and liven it up a bit. this is from martha stewart living. a four piece set. this is a great starter set or if you are trying to add seating maybe something you already have this is a great fit. you get the comfortable seats. they kind of rock a little bit. it does not with an umbrella

but it has a space in the middle to add any standard umbrella to that. >> and this is something that can sit outside all winter and you don't have to worry about it rusting. >> and this is the acoustic research wireless speaker system. you can correct something directly to it like an ipod or mp3 player. but if you want to put that inside thereth is a transmitter that comes with it. you can hook it to the television so if you have cable television with the sta satelle music channels pick your favorite one and this transmits 100 feet outside. >> and you don't have to worry about water, it weather resistant. >> a little doobie brothers for the memorial day weekend. and we have cushions, all kinds of grilling stuffion everything you need to make memorial day

lookin' good, flo! feelin' good! feelin' real good! [ engine revs ] boat protection people love. now, that's progressive. call or click today. welcome back. according to the u.s. bureau of labor statistics the unemployment rate for active veterans since 2001 was 12.1%

in 2011 and memorial day weekend this weekend fox and friends wants to help some of those brave men and women land a job. >> and no better to help out than cheryl cassoni from the fox business network. she has been helping people find jobs that aren't available. >> i wanted to do something different than what i normally do during the week. we always find companies that are hiring and this week we found companies hiring veterans. what are the skillsets that veterans can bring to corporate america. the veterans themselves need to know what they can bring to the table in the interview process when they start to look for positions. and so i found five different skills that they can bring to the table and the first is leadership, guys. >> a great skill to have. leadership, the big one that they are looking for and you bring up a good point. i think there is friction between what they are learning on the battle field and what the companies are looking for.

number two, organization. >> organizational skills. nothing says organization leak the u.s. military. you have to be on time and report for are duty and obey our o losses and officers -- your losse bosses and officerse you. whether it is logistics or the supply room and you learn those organizational skills you can take that to corporate america. they value that because many that don't have that type of training that never did serve their country frankly don't have that. a very appreciated skill. >> number three on the list is transportation. how exactly do you emphasize that as a member of the military? >> many of our men and women that have served had to work in the big trucks whether it is tanks or trucks. and all of that, those skills transfer over to a lot of the big transportation companies here in the united states. penske truck leasing was one of my companies earlier this week because you have the skills to handle the large vehicles. a lot of people that went to

college. >> are we talking driving and. >> i'm talking mechanics, drivers, anything. even to learn how to be around and operate one of the large vehicles. it is a dangerous -- this can be a dangerous job and so they have the wherewithal and the kills and are used to being around large equipment. some of the companies are going near bases with large transportation operations whether in texas or alabama and actively recruiting veterans that have the skills. >> the other two are commitment to service and integrity. those are the other really important commitment to service. i have to ask you before we led you go, how do you bring the skills to the potential employers? is it on ou your resume or howu bring it up in the interview process? >> it is how you present yourself in the interview. you are coming to corporate america and been in iraq or afghanistan for x amount of years. they say what do you bring to

the table. i learned how to serve my country and learned the value of my mello fellow marines, arr force. integrity is something that companies recognize in veterans. waste management, gm. citi says we saw the work ethics. general motors. goes back to the transportation skills. and waste management large truck operations. examples of companies that are saying to us we are looking for these. it is good business because 12% unemployment since 2001 and 26% of them have disabilities. i mean why is it fair that you went and served our country and come back -- it is like if you didn't serve your country you would have a better chance atgeting a job and that is

frustrating. >> check out cheryl ca sone does a great job on fox business. >> up next, a tug of warriors. the marines taking on the navy. the winner going up against us? >> oh, no. >> i'm an anchor. >> heavy lifting there.
