>> jon: that is a wrap. thanks to our panel. >>. >> heather: i'm heather childers welcome a brand-new hour. >> gregg: i'm gregg jarrett. topping news this hour, devastation across nine states from a violent series of storms in the northeast and now, the recovery begins with victims keeping one eye on the sky. we're live from the hardest hit areas. >> colorado evacuees waiting to see what is left of their homes. while the fire continues to burn out of control. >> gregg: deadly new violence reported in syria as

international peace plans fall apart. fox news, one of very few media outlets inside syria and we'll bring you a live report in moments. >> heather: but up a heartbreaking day for victims of the worst wildfire in colorado's history. some people are allowed back into their neighborhoods to see what is left of their homes in dro springs. firefighters are making progress battling the flames they are considering lifting more evacuation orders. adam housley is live in colorado springs. >> reporter: on the western edge of colorado springs, winds have kicked up but the threat has gone down significantly thanks to good weather over the last couple days, even a couple of small rain showers. i'll give you a look. this is the mountain shadows community that was facing a wall of flames. we started where you can see the fire came down from the hillside, from the pine trees and you see the trees right up

to the edge some pretty significant number of homes. unfortunately they lost, the number isn't specifically to neighborhood but they lost of tens of homes. more than 300 all told but this neighborhood faced those flames and lot of homes have been lost here. we can give you up close video from a short time ago that shows some of the residents being allowed back in to sift through the ashes. only a few parts of the areas are allowed to do that because they have gas meters and gas mains that need to be shut off. there are 32,000 people evacuated. as of this afternoon, two-thirds have been allowed back home. firefighters say while they are letting a significant number of people back in here, they are still very cautious in watching this fire and other areas very closely. >> we're cautiously optimistic,

45% containment but we are remain focused on things that can go wrong and 55% of the fire s that is not contained. our guys will take our best shots out there to move forward on that progress. >> reporter: here is a live look. you can see there is no active flames here. there is no active smoke down around the houses which is great thousands. are the winds have kicked up but only fanning the flames. firefighters believe they got a good handle here. as you look at the hillsides, colorado is very dry. western state in a significant drought situation but the monsoons have yet to come here. now, the hillsides are barren, so if monsoons come, now you have worry about potential mudslides. we do know fires are burning in montana. nine fires in utah. fires in colorado and california fire season hasn't kicked up yet. >> heather: you can see the

winds kicking up where you are. adam housley reporting live from colorado springs. >> gregg: a massive recovery effort as multiple states are under emergency declarations scrambling to bounce back from extreme weather that is hammering the mid-atlantic carrying hurricane strength hitting without any warning. carrying across nine states and the nation's capital and killing at least 13 people and leaving three million without any power in suffocating heat. it could be days before all is up and running. virginia, one of the hardest hit residents say the destruction is like nothing they have ever seen. >> there were sparks flying up the hill. there is pieces of roof ripping off. >> these are sound structures, all the work we've been putting into it. it's really hard. >> my great-grandfather was

buried here. my daddy. >> gregg: doug mckelway joins us from a red cross shelter in maryland. >> this one of dozens of shelters that have been set up to accommodate people that have no air-conditioning or who have lost the roofs over their heads. they had 150 people here last night. ironically while hallways surrounding the gym is nice and call this is not air-conditioned. i would estimate it's 85 degrees in here right now. better than outside but not much better but authorities say the people that are staying here largely come from homes that have lost their roofs so they are willing to accept the conditions as they now stand. it's very interesting to talk about the preparation for this storm because it came on so suddenly. very little prerpgs time whether

providing shelters. here is the governor of the state of maryland. >> there are crews that are now driving here from texas, from florida, from places very far away, but the challenge with this storm, there were a couple. number one, it had hurricane impact but without hurricane warning. so we did not have the sort of three days to mobiles and bring those crews in before the storm hit. >> reporter: as you look around the streets, around the suburban area, you see a tremendous number of traffic lights that are not functioning. a lot of shopping centers that are closed down. a lot of gas stations that are closed down. we have heard reports of people waiting in line for gas as long as two hours. as of the power crews there are not many of them. they are still engaged in preliminary preparation. >> crews are out and about. we are doing the downed wires.

doing the emergency work, that have to be done now. so when you see a truck you may see it hour or two and run to another stop. we are doing the absolute critical that has to be done. >> reporter: a representative with the dominion power that provides much of the state of virginia they start sticking to an ambitious timetable that will restore power to everybody by next sunday. that will have been nine days since the storm first hit that people are going without power and the hot weather that is under hundred degrees is not expected to break until friday. >> gregg: what a tough situation. doug, thanks very much from maryland. >> heather: new reaction from the white house as republicans renew industrious repeal president obama's health care law. supreme court up holding the

controversial law on thursday sparking outcry from thousands of protestors and obama administration is firing back. steve is live for us in washington with more. >> republicans are seizing on the health care law and using it as political issue on two fronts. they are promising to repeal the legislation while at the same time pointing out the penalty for not buying health insurance is now tax. here a speaker of the house, john boehner. >> the american people do not want to get on this path, they don't want the government telling them what kind of insurance policy they have to buy and how much they have to pay for it. if you don't like it, we're going to tax you. >> the high court ruled five to four that the affordable care acted known as obamacare is constitutional under the federal government taxing powers. this was a political opening for anti-tax republicans that seized on the penalty for those not buying health insurance as a way to boost g.o.p. pros next

november but the president's chief of staff says very few people would actually pay that penalty. >> the only thing in this bill that puts a burden on individuals to pay more is a penalty for those who can afford insurance and choose not to buy it and to be clear, that is 1% of the population. in massachusetts where this was tested in the plan that governor romney put in place, 1% of the population ended up paying the penalty. >> reporter: the tax, what he calls a penalty will not be a burden to the middle-class and time to focus on the economy and jobs and move ahead with the affordable care act. >> heather: steve centanni, thank you. >> gregg: overseas, iran sending a defiant message to the world set for a brand-new round of war games. the drills will begin tomorrow and last for three days. iran's revolutionary guards will reportedly fire surface to

surface missiles of models of foreign bases. top general says the war games are a warning that iran will respond in a crushing way to any threats. >> heather: word of this comes the same day that the european unions embargo on iranian oil takes effect. it comes on sanctions that have hit iran's economy. it's part of an international effort to get iran to halt its nuclear program. iran says it's program is for peaceful purposes. >> gregg: now to syria, bloodshed, rocking that country again showing no signs of stopping and the images emerging are more and more shocking. take a look at amateur videotape showing a funeral procession coming under attack by government forces. syria's main opposition group claims 800 people have been killed in the past week alone. most of the deaths being

attributed to military helicopters and tank shelling. greg palkot is streaming live from damascus. >> reporter: we first told your viewers about the attack yesterday at about this time. now, as you have shown, that amateur video fills in the blanks a little bit. it was an ugly scene. it happened no too far where i am now in the area of damascus. it was car bomb that blew up. they claim it was security responsibility and i am told at least 40 people were killed and many more injured. we went into that area wand we found shut down tight. it's anti-assad area. shopkeepers staged a strike, people stayed off the streets, plus there was mass burial for those victims from yesterday. everywhere we ran into syrian soldiers, syrian security and

they told us they thought terrorists were responsible. meanwhile, u.n. observer missions go out today, mostly limited humanitarian missions while in other parts of this country, the fighting rages on. in the city of duma has been hit hard by syrian military for about two weeks now. syrian security is going on, they are mopping up and as for that peace plan unveiled in geneva yesterday. i think it remains a non-starter. both the syrian government and the syrian opposition have branded it it a failure and the fighting goes on. >> gregg: thank you. >> heather: new reports of a power struggle in egypt. the nation's first freely elected president first full day in office but the military that has controlled egypt seems

reluctant to hand over authority. leland vitter is live with more. >> certainly the fact that mohammad morsi is a member of muslim brotherhood is of concern. exactly how much power the army is going to give the new president especially when it comes to matters like foreign policy, military and intelligence sharing. handover ceremony we are told the leading general in egypt who is running the country did salute the new president, the question is as d he actually take orders from that new president. the egyptian military has close ties to the united states. $1.2 billion a year and people are watching carefully how this is going to break down. the army controls writing the new constitution. it looks like morsi is going to get control over the domestic issues and help the economy.

army will keep control over the tactical military decisions and foreign policy. that may not sit well with the tens of thousands that care out on friday to welcome president morsi as he was inaugurated. there were tense moments with new security. obviously morsi who talked a lot about bringing the country together has frightened a lot of egyptians, christians as much of that crowd is a hard line version of muslim brotherhood. as it stands right now, the army it appears has the upper hand. they won the first power battle that happened by making sure that morsi took the oath of office. it doesn't look like the peace treaty between egypt and israel is going to be effective. he toke a little to that but the long term fear once the current group of general that has controls things retires the brotherhood put their officers in charge of the army and they have the presidency and also

egyptian army that could change things drastically. back to you. >> gregg: did you know this, that every year food stamp recipients spend billions of dollars on soda pop. that is right. some critics say that is not what the program is for but should the governor monitor what income americans buy at the supermarket. a fair and balanced debate. >> plus, a major league football player prepares to tackle his a lawsuit in court. >> do you wonder what the colleagues are up to working at home. a new survey gives us a sneak peek. you will get a chuckle out of this one. ♪

>>. >> heather: welcome back. time for a quick check of the headlines, new orleans linebacker suing the n.f.l. claiming the commissioner did

not make a timing ruling over the suspension. he was sidelined for a year in connection with a bounty investigation. >> and in los angeles, hundreds of prevh trying to keep walmart of the area. demonstrators calling on the biggest retailer to pay more for their workers. they say they create thousands of jobs and make great deals for consumers. and they are throwing in the towel to be the first woman to swim from cuba to florida saying that the current is too strong. >> gregg: not to mention all the jellyfish stings. ever wonder what your could workers are doing working at home. a new survey are actually admitting to doing while supposedly working. 43% say they watch tv or a movie. 35% say they do some of their chores. 28% say they are cooking dinner.

26% take a nap. 24% say they have had a drink. yes. brenda butner, anchor of "bulls and bears", isn't it interesting. >> i'm working from home. this video game. 25% do that. >> gregg: 25%. isn't it interesting that nobody seems to admit to having romantic relations which use a different word for? >> why is that interesting? >> gregg: i just think it happens. perhaps because most of them are parents. >> so romance doesn't happen with parents. brenda knows. so look, a stanford survey found or study actually by stanford university found there are actually more profitable at home doing work and accomplishing more than in the workplace? >> they are more productive. if your boss gives you a job and

finish by the end of the week, who cares if you are having a drink in between working eight hours here if you do the actual product. if you are able to finish up. there is a lot of time a work that is wasted as well. when you are at home you tend to focus the time you are working. >> gregg: my commute averages an hour each way so there is two hours, i could be taking a nap? >> yes, do you do that on set? >> i have a blow up mattress in my office. [ laughter ] >> most disliked at work events. take a look. costume contests, i don't know they had those, team building activities. baby showers, i never get invited to those and i'm upset about it. 31%. holiday gift exchange, nobody gives me anything. >> it's all about you. maybe that is some of the reason

you don't get invited. >> gregg: moving on. i'm sick is still the most common excuse i'm note coming to work. take a look at these others. these things happen. my bicycle ran out of gas. i'm dieting. drank too much sun quist. i'm having toenail issues. my numerol gives t told me not to come in. elvis's birthday. i have nothing to wear. i stumbled on the love of my life. >> that leads into your initial question. >> gregg: and i wanted to run through one more, sneaking out of the office. this is interesting, to work out. in other words, people exercising 18%, getting a haircut 10%. sleep, 12%.

>> well, again this teachings you something about what happens at the office as opposed to these people who are working at home. it's not always true they may be in their pajamas but they are sneaking out of the office for eight hours. >> gregg: if i'm an employer the study would hit me. telecommuters are more productive but the other things, if i have a lost my employees working from home that reduces my overhead? >> it absolutely does. that is an important thing. most most people think their bosses don't like them to be working at home because they think they are goofing off. the bottom line is the bottom line. does the job get done that. is really what bosses have to look at. >> gregg: other bottom line, if you are a parent, there is no romance. [ laughter ] >> i didn't air is that. i won't be here the next hour. that toenail problem.

yeah, real trouble. >> the thrill is gone butner. you can catch her. >> i'm not married anymore. >> gregg: anymore. >> gregg: "bulls and bears" every saturday morning right here on the fox news channel. heather. >> heather: excessive heat warnings and the threat of more storms have more than 3 million severe weather victims cope with sweltering heat without electricity. and air-conditioning. one way to get the power back on. we'll have a live report on that up next. a florida senator is calling for more limitations on food stamp purchases. find out what new items he is proposing for the list of banned products.

>> heather: bottom of the hour, time for the top of the news, crews across the country working

to restore electric the to millions of people after powerful storms left them in the dark. 13 weather-related deaths have been reported. >> gregg: firefighters making some ground in the battle to contain the waldo canyon fire in colorado. more than 350 homes so far destroyed. >> heather: israeli leaders ghriakt egypt's new president. mohammad morsi facing opposition from the military who which has ruled since hosni mubarek was ousted last year. >> gregg: back to the top story. mid-atlantic region taking a one-two punch. extreme heat and powerful storms causing widespread outages and left millions without any air-conditioning in triple-digit temperatures. 13 related deaths have been reported so far including a woman that died in a barn collapse in dublin.

knocking down powers lines and trapping drivers in cars. >> it was crazy. i couldn't keep control of the car. people were all over the place. everybody was slamming on the brakes. >> there were gigantic tower lines and poles leaning over the road. you could see it from a mile distance. it was like something how the of a steven king movie. >> elizabeth pran is live in charleston, west virginia. >> a massive effort to get people that are stranded. working tirelessly to get power back to the neighborhood. they may get power by this evening but i did speak with a public information officer with west virginia. she tells me there is still about 500,000 people out of power. that is half a million people who are going to have their

third sleepless night. what do people do? they are going to cooling centers, basically public buildings in the city that are cooled by generator power. we also know people are really fending for themselves. we went to a number of gas stations, people buying ice, water and gasoline. check out what we saw. >> extreme delays for filling up at the gas station like we are seeing here in charleston, west virginia. people are waiting anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to fill up they need to fuel generators and power tools like chainsaws that are necessary for cleanup. >> we have been looking for fuel all day. several gas stations we stopped at we stayed in line and we had to go to another station and we're finally here and happy about it too. >> reporter: gregg, you can hear how happy is the fact he was

filling up his gas. although it is a long road to recovery. some of the people in the area may not get power until friday. they are very happy for the small victory like gasoline. >> gregg: something like that will make your day. elizabeth, thanks so much. >> heather: growing debate now. whether the government should be allowed to decide the kinds of grocery items that are purchased with food stamps. one florida state senator, says there are limits what a person can purchase with food stamps but to extend that rule to include limits on junk food. take listen. >> money would not be able to spend on sodas and junk food. i'm absolutely prepared to say that. more over i think it's perfectly capable that grocery stores are causing that to happen because they already do it. they already do it. they do it for food stamps, for instance, they know they can't

buy toilet paper, they can't buy liquor with food stamps so when you swipe your car they would decline the sale. they have the capability of do it but they lack the will. government lacks the will and convenience stores and the industry lacks the will to do it >> heather: here to a fair and balanced debate. mary wallace and tina jackson. thank you for joining us. >> nation's food stamp program will cost american taxpayers some $770 billion over the next ten years. so should the government be the food police, so to speak, that is question we asked over and over again over the past few decades. >> you know, think we can all

agree we want government to have all of that. we don't want them to be on our backs. i don't think you should rob people of dignity. it's funny thing we tend to go after individuals but we do not rob the dignity of corns like the banking industry and the auto industry and all these corporations that needed our money. it's interesting to me that we are discussing this on the 4th of july weekend where we celebrate it will be. freedom to choose. one of my neighbors in chicago that is on the program, guess what? she can't buy chicken? what is that all about. i think that is insane. not to mention this program, if its backdoor subsidy to sugar industry because they subsidize farm programs that make corn seirp. >> they are talking about a lot of money, $4 billion worth of

food stamps is spent to buy soda. in new york, $75 million to $135 million in food stamps spent on sugar beverages. should we monitor that? >> absolutely. i don't look at it as the government being the food police. i look at the government finally being responsible with my money. imagine that. the poorer you are, the more likely you are to be obese. we know a lot of disease can come from that like diabetes. government and taxpayers will foot the bill. why not use it as a teachable moment to teach these people what healthy eating is. what good nutrition is. if they would like to buy sodas or junk food with their own money, i don't have a problem with that. i wouldn't tell them to do that. if you are going to use taxpayer money, which is this program was supposed to be a safety net. it will be a short term thing.

why not use it as teachable moment so they can make healthy choices and learn to make smarter choices down the road? we'll all win. >> heather: so far lawmakers in several states actually have unsuccessfully pushed bills to make soda, chips, candy ineligible to purchase for food stamps. it's called the supplemental assistance program. and program that is administered by the u.s. department of agriculture that could be modified as part of new farm bill that is going through congress? >> we find that this snap program does assist people but not assist the family farmer. it assists sugar that makes you fat. you know my story, eight years ago, i'm very sensitive to sugar and i know that sugar does make

you fat. there is no question about that. scientific evidence is there. i just don't think that people, individuals need to be policed inside their homes. they don't need that. what we all need to eat properly. it's much easier for us to go get a fast-food meal. they are not getting veg tackles and fruits at the grocery store. >> heather: you were talking about the restrictions that could take billions of dollars of food and save billions in obesity health care costs that was predicted that is to reach $520 billion by 2030. >> if you expected the government will foot bill. somewhere along the way the government will start telling you how prevent certain diseases down the road that are predictable. certain things if you are obese, i don't think its far of a

stretch, having the government you can't have this and this. especially if if we are paying for it it's ridiculous to subsidize, i do think that a lot of this lobbying and it's not necessary liquor the best interests of the people at heart here. i agree with her on that, but the government should have the right then to say, if we're going to foot the bill for healthcare, we're going to prevent as much injury to yourself as we possibly can along the road. i don't think that is if you are paying for itself. >> that has to be the last word. >> i was there, too. weim you on that one. >> heather: we appreciate you joining us. >> happy holiday. >> gregg: president obama working the telephones from air force one asking campaign donors to send him more money and fast.

>>. >> heather: welcome back. new reports says that president obama is asking campaign donor to dig deeper into their pockets. president held a conference call expressing worry that he could be defeated by super pacs and outspent by governor romney. on the call he reportedly said this. i'm asking what to exceed what you did in 2008 because we need to deal with the super pacs in a serious way. if we don't i think the political scene will be changed permanently. let's get reaction to a nationally syndicated columnist and mcgill johnson. thank you for joining us. >> so, does the president sound

desperate? >> he sound very frustrated. think what is happening, there are democratic donors that have not max'd out. you remember last season we were wrapping up the primary with hillary clinton and people weren't used to do it so early in the season. at the same time i think he is frustrated with what has happened. we have such a tragedy on our hands from political finance, instead of one person, one voted we have gone for one dollar, one vote. that is huge tragedy. >> i think they are attacking the super pacs as republican conspiracy. he has priorities u.s.a. it raised $4 million last month and $20 million in commitment. he has his own super pac of $45 million in it. i don't think he is on any firm ground to complain about that. and contrast to see him begging

for cash and mitt romney, $4.6 million went in his coffers, averaging about $98 per donation. so he has money pouring into mitt romney's coffers. >> amount of money, it is remarkable when you take a look. the latest reports filed with the federal election commission on june 20th, there are 95 donors or collection of donors that have given more than $500,000 to super pacs and those donors have given $153 million through the end of may. are these super pacs out of control? >> they are absolutely out of control. i understand that the president has a huge challenge. he has to compete. we expected the price tag is billion dollars. it's going to take a lot of small donations and major donations to get to that point. i think you also see romney having the same challenge.

he hosted a big retreat of private fund raisers out in clashing city that had wide range of advisers -- in clark city. so i think they are out of control. we have to ask the question -- what are the people think they are going to get? >> i would say don't forget that president obama is going to be able to rely on a lot of money and donations and services from the unions. this money isn't given voluntarily on the part of mitt romney. this taking out workers wallets under compulsory union dues. that money is handed over and used for politics and union workers is money is used for causes they don't agree. >> at least its transparent. >> heather: i like something you said. it's less about ideas and more

about money. >> nine out of ten congressional races are only winning by the money they raise. i think this is really an issue, who is winning. corporations or wealthy interests or the american people. >> heather: thank you both for joining us. we appreciate. good conversation. >> gregg: this could be the greatest thing since the invention. wheel but self-driving automobiles infringe on your privacy. our fox news legal panel is here to weigh in.

>>. >> gregg: once again new technology is butting heads at laws trying to protect privacy. the latest is so-called autonomous cars that is supposed to self-drive but consumer watchdogs want to slam the brakes on these cars. they claim there isn't adequate privacy protection for users of the technology. let's ask joey jackson and former prosecutor mercedes. here is the deal, google along with cal tech developing these automobiles. that means that google arguably

would be able to track the use of those vehicles collect the data and then pass that along to marketers and advertisers, does that infringe on the privacy of those car owners? >> full disclosure, google is client to the firm. but having said that it doesn't change my analysis. there is no reasonable expectation to privacy when it comes to the issue. you have the individuals that purchase the item. they are going to be out on the streets. their names will be known, it has to be on the license. if there is an issue with respect to driving them. there are so many markers. there is no expectation for privacy. >> gregg: supreme court said she is right there. is no expectation of privacy in public place. there are cameras everywhere. how is this any different than the cameras that follow people? >> i think it's significantly different. when you talk about the

expansion technology. we need to be protected we can't get about what we are doing, however, we are driving. about where we are going given to everybody. here is the distinction. yes. there are cameras, but there are cameras everywhere.should we res we drive in any locality there will be a camera monitoring what we do? i think not. >> gregg: what may be suspicious is that google will not agree to not collect the data. i want to quote from today's editorial in sacramento bee about. this you may remember the last time google deployed high-tech vehicles, it's biggest wiretapping scandal in history when they sucked up data of wi-fi e-mails. banking information, passwords and other data and in fact another case google hacked around the privacy settings of

safari on apple's browser -- can one really trust google. >> google has made us immensely knowledgeable in this world. anything you want to know something about, look what they are talking about. health information, federal laws protect information. you are talking about passwords and searches. there is an expectation of privacy in that and who knows what they have done with that information. >> gregg: doesn't it stop. how do we know they are not going collect the car data now? >> i don't trust them at all. to mercedes point they have done great things. technology is vast and wonderful. we all google. at the same time we need a measure of protection. let's be clear about this. $38 billion in revenue, 98% of that revenue that google raised from advertising. what do they want this for? they want it to determine what our choices are so they can marketed it.

i spoke to a single mother with a two-year-old daughter with cerebral palsy and, wheelchair bound and has to be fed with a feeding tube, operated electronically and she has no electricity and they said they cannot accommodate her here and gave her a hotel room for the night and her next 24 hours are certain but after that, it is untern and puts a face on the absolute urgent need another power crews to get the power restored. earlier today we heard from virginia dominion power about the prognostications about getting power up and running for everybody in the region. >> we are doing the downed wires and a lot of this emergency work, and we are doing things that have to be done, right now. so, when you see a pepco truck you may see it for an hour or two and it runs to another stop and we are like the pony express, doing the critical that has to be done. >> reporter: exacerbating the problem, is the fact that there is no preparation time for the storm, as you would have in a

hurricane where you have 2 or 3 or 4 days advanced prep race and it came through very, very suddenly, and we had at best maybe a half-hour preparation time and, governor o'malley addressed the issue today. >> the second challenge was, when it hit, it hit on a friday, night work day and so that has also led to greater challenges in terms of activating those mutual aid pacts to bring in crews from other states. >> reporter: and you can't help but wonder if a lot of these guys who repair power lines or like any ordinary american and bolted from work, friday afternoon, probably taking families on vacation and given the communication problemses we've had, ultimately, no cell phone service, no e-mail service, a lot of these guys i expect, were unable to be retrieved with the power situation. we have no word from the office or personnel management, which makes the call, on whether the federal government will be

adam? >> reporter: yes. heather, on the western edge of the colorado springs, the winds have kicked up a bit and the fire danger has gone down significantly because in the previous couple of days, there has been no wind and, a couple of rain showers today and i'll step away and give you a perspective from the ridge look out over where the fire roared through here, a couple of days ago. you can see where the fire came down and burn out pat of the neighborhood. this is the mountain shadows neighborhood, a number of homes lost in this area. we have seen a few people allowed back into sift through ashes but for the most part it has been utility crews who have to go through and ensure gas lines are shut off and electrical lines are shut down as well. as you move up through the neighborhood, you will see how the fire burned around in some cases, burned down entire blocks, leaving one home standing, in other areas the entire block was fine and, so, fire seemingly burned up to the edge of some people's back porches and moving toward the hillside you see where the fire raced down the hills on tuesday and wednesday and you can see

smoke and ash blowing from the winds that picked up recently and as you continue over you will see a corridor here and many people on the ridge line says it has been a sore subject because it -- a quarry that took away the views from colorado springs but they are grateful it is there now because the fire basically stopped its march that would have come towards the neighborhood. as it came down the hillside and burned so many homes. now, as you come back this way the good news is 32,000 people were evacuated at one point and the number now is down to 3,000 people and more than 300 homes were destroyed and two people were killed and the winds pick u. here and the fire danger is down significantly here, however, across the west, it is extremely dry. there are fires burning in utah and fires burning in montana and, of course, still a fire burning here, in remote areas, west of colorado springs. heather? >> heather: adam housely reporting live, thank you very much. >> gregg: he has been in office only two days, already egyptian

penitentiary in north carolina for plotting a massive string of bombings across new york, the targets included the united nations and the lincoln and holland tunnels and the george washington bridge and expired to hill hosni mubar kill hosni mubarak when he was scheduled here for a visit and he was an active leader of a group and traveled around the country and peter king says the u.s. needs to make it clear to mohamed morsi his rhetoric regarding the release of a terrorist and a murderer must stop. >> it very much confirms our worst fears, the muslim brotherhood, which he's part of, has said somehow they've changed and moderated their position, and, i think people in the administration want to believe that and he makes a remark like this, in his inaugural address, it to me shows his real feelings, and sending a signal to his people and also sending a signal to the region and is throwing out the challenge to

the united states. >> reporter: and, he is egypt's first islamist and freely elected president but a power struggle with the nation's generals is underway. the army holds tremendous power and parliament was dissolved following the upheaval and, the military leaders are still crowing much of the transitional government. at least for now. gregg? >> gregg: mogg molly line and correct something, he was convicted of plotting to blow up several new york city landmarks but among them was not the world trade center in 1993 though he was the spiritual advisor to those who were convicted of plotting to bring done the world trade center. >> heather: iran set to begin a new round of war games as tensions rise between the islamic regime and the u.s. iran's official news agency saying the drills will begin tomorrow. and, last for three days in the nation's central desert. the revolutionary guard will

years. william lajeunesse is streaming live for us, from mexico city. hi, william. >> reporter: well, heather, you are right. voters are disillusioned with the current conservative party and even supporters admit their candidate has run a lousy campaign. by contrast, the old ruling party, that is still a machine, and a very young, energetic candidate, who has the support of business and labor, folks here in mexico city, two hours, four hours on the west coast polls close, 65% turnout. there were protests over, number one, basically that the media already crowned a winner, and, also, a possible voter fraud, and there has been a history of that in mexico in the past, parties have bought votes with everything from washing machines to tacos. now parties still do bus voters to the polls and give them a meal, and that is not uncommon but the election is watched, very closely, by a federal

agency, and also observers from abroad. but, unlike six years ago, the outcome of the race is not expected to be close. the current charismatic ex-governor has a 17-point lead, a centrist and a pragmatist and the pretty face of the party with an ugly past, and you have his opponent, manuel obrador, who lost the race in 2006 and is a hard left candidate and tried to moderate his image but, most people have not bought his conversion and finally the first female female candidate has been unable or unwilling to differentiate herself from the current ruling party, and, its handling of the drug war. >> the drug wars in mexico, it is a failure. and it was basically for more money to be policed... the local

police, without understanding that if they don't train the police, what you are doing is training the criminals. >> reporter: now, there has been no campaigning since wednesday. no drinking, any alcohol sold, saturday or sunday, whatsoever, that is basically nationwide and there is no negative campaigning, that is against the rules here in mexico. they do have some phone lines set up and received about 300,000 calls, nationwide, some complains, some looking for directions and one guy tried to buy voter registration cards for $60, and basically by the end of tonight we should have a winner for you tomorrow morning. >> heather: william lajeunesse, live from mexico city. thank you very much. >> gregg: the supreme court's landmark ruling on health care having a major impact on the presidential race, at least so far. question is, who is going to benefit the most? president obama, governor romney? find out what are campaign

with a magnetic strip and essentially they can clear out your bank account, in no time. using those things. and, it is becoming more and more popular, it is very -- people don't recognize it, it looks official and you are so used to swiping your card through. and, it is really losing people millions of dollars. >> heather: credit card fraud increased 87% since 2010 and loss is $6 billion, nationwide. what can you do to protect yourself? >> a lot of the things are common sense, now that you have seen a picture of it, which is really key, look for that, look for that at your gas station, anywhere you user debit cashed. atms, gas stations, even department stores, these things can be almost anywhere, and they can be -- they don't have to be exactly on the machine, they can be anywhere near, so, just be on the lookout. >> heather: it looks like to me, in new york city we have those in the cabs. and, it looks just like that.

>> yes, it does, you have to have a good eye for that but also don't do things like, don't care more credit cards than you need. check your bank info. i look on my barn info, every day. and a lot of times you can see if somebody is trying to drain your account and that is critical. you have to check into that. also, when you use your -- you haver pin number don't use something like your address or your phone number. or your daughter's birthday. anything like that, and, don't give out the pin number, to anybody ever. i mean, all of that is very critical. so it is basic steps, but, we forget them. >> heather: say you followed all of those steps, what do you need to do if you bill a victim? >> here's the trouble. a lot of this is interstate and so, say that your card was stolen in northern california, and, the card replica is somewhere in massachusetts. the people in northern california, the police, basically don't want to investigate that.

because it increases their numbers, it looks like they have more credit card fraud. so, it is interstate credit card and there is a place to call, it's the crime complaint center, i. ic-3, google that or look for the web site but it is difficult to process you. >> heather: thanks for joining us, brenda buttner, appreciate it as always and you can catch brenda on bulls and bears, every saturday morning, 10:00 a.m. eastern sharp here on the fox news channel. >> gregg: i always do. all right, a state of emergency across several mid-atlantic states in the wake of violent storms, at least 13 people now dead, millions without any electricity. it is sizzling out there, folks, and, the news from power crews not very good. we are going to get a live report. and, political ad wars, president obama pulling ahead of governor mitt romney in some of the important swing states. we're going to show you what might be swaying some of the voters there. >>... maintain our retirement

fully ahead of governor romney in some critical states with this, the week that kind of changed the race. let's bring in our campaign insiders, john leboutillier, a former republican congressman for new york, and, a fox news contributor, and a former pollster for president jimmy carter. and, in for doug schoen, ed rollins, the guys a lend and i will not read it all. and let me start with you, you are a guest sitting in today and it was anger over obamacare, in 2010. that actually led to the worst midterm defeat of a president's party since 1928. could that happen again? because of this. >> sure it could. 53 democrats lost their seats in the midterm. my sense of this is will still be about the economy and create be jobs, but at the end of the day the health care thing is going to have a big impact on the economy and the idiocy of

this decision, is the core basically said the -- congress can't force you to buy something but and penalize you for not being something and that is absurd to me and as people discuss it more and more, as we'll discuss, if it is a tax the tax was never started and the bill has to be started in the house of representatives and, it was not a tax voted on this thing, it was a penalty and there is a whole room to open it up again. >> gregg: and the court has no jurisdiction until the tax is collected and i'm trying to figure that out but i want to throw up a fox news poll that came out on the eve of the decision, amazing. 60% of americans believe it is a violation of individual rights and 36% believe it is acceptable in the constitution and dig deeper, 2/3 of independents think it is bad. could that turn the independents into the red column. >> look, in 2010, the economy was the biggest issue, health care was the decisive issue and

2012 the economy will be bigger and bigger issue and health care can be more decisive. here's the problem. if it went down, the president's confidence would have been done. now, it is his character and he went out there telling people it wasn't a tax, wasn't a tax and even today, the white house is arguing, no, no, it is a penalty, not a tax and the supreme court and the chief of staff of the white house was on and i thought he did a terrible job and rather in an unctous way and, now people know it is a tax and were misled and never liked the bill, i believe the argument to make, whatever was done, republicans are given a potential hammer and that hammer is reject that and repeal obamacare. >> gregg: that is the theme and while i ask you the question, let's put up the two rasmussen polls in react to the supreme court's decision and you will see their numbers, the opinion of u.s. supreme court has

dropped precipitously. what does it tell you about the november elections? >> well, i would take the big picture first, gregg, which is, this ruling only further alienated more americans from the establishment. the supreme court was not considered a political institution, the congress is bad, white house is bad, but, now, they've lumped in the supreme court, and they are sick of all of it. it calls for someone from the outside of the establishment to ride in and say, i'm going to clean this mess up. and that is what the three of us believe mitt romney needs to harness this thing and be the outsider, who is going to change the status quo. >> one of the things with the rasmussen poll that is interesting. people in the political class, their support for the supreme court, went from 27 to 55. main street america, went down and reversed themselves in terms of numbers.

judge roberts may have done this to go to georgetown parties and be -- nice and, i'll tell you the electorate is angry because they were against the bill and are still against it. >> gregg: i want to ask you why president obama is now pulling ahead in some important swing states, we'll be putting those numbers up in a moment and i wonder if it is all of the attacks on bain which mitt romney used to run and here's joe biden. take a listen: >> you have to give mitt romney credit. he's a job creator. in singapore, china, india... good at creating jobs. [applause]. >>... overseas. [applause]. >> gregg: is debating romney bashing helping. >> any time you spend tens of millions of dollars on an ad and it is not responded to it will have an impact and reinforce your own base and the democratic base is obviously solid behind the president. i don't think he has moved in as much in the independent vote and that is really what it will come

down to. it is too soon and an initiative they'll use and somewhere along the line mitt romney has to respond to it. >> gregg: let me put up this polls i promised, taken just before the health care ruling, "wall street journal" poll, obama, 47 to 44 and he's ahead 50 to 42 in some of the major swing states, we're talking colorado, florida, iowa, michigan, nebraska, new hampshire and goes on and on and what is going on there. >> you have to worry about taking a sub sample out of a national poll, and those states claim that that represents those states. that is a -- but there is no doubt in the battle ground states, for obama, he has been spending millions attacking mitt romney it is having an effect and romney actually and it is indisputable, i think, the innocence of the polls, lost ground in june. it has been a bad month or the president, he has had a rough month and romney actually had slippage and i think -- i'd like to ask ed a question about this.

i don't scenes we have talked -- we talked about it on the show, do you think the mitt romney campaign has a real strategy in this campaign. >> no, they don't, and, you mistake tactics for strategy, and, the strategy is, is how you tell your story, tell it -- tell your message and maker case against the president and they've been effective in raising money and have raised $100 million this month, substantial and how they spend that and implement their own message will be key. >> gregg: congressman -- when rupert murdoch apparently twittered today room should drop his old friends and hire pros, otherwise it is heart to beat obama's chicago pros, he's probably right? >> i would never doubt that but i think the three of us subscribe to the theories of other great campaign managers, one john sears who had a rule, campaigns have to keep moving, meaning you can't talk about the same thing, every day, day after day. you have to keep changing it up.

and, mitt romney is a one-trick pony. obama is no good, that's it. >> and chicago, is trying to -- they have the message first, it is bain and second, outsourcing and, third, cayman island. >> gregg: it works in those swing states and you saw the numbers. we'll have to pause and take a quick break, lots more with campaign insiders, stick around, their prediction as well, coming up. >> heather: stay tuned for that and a debate brewing over using sunscreen on kids. how young is too young to start slathering it on? dr. kathleen london weighs in coming up.

obamacare next year. >> gregg: pat? >> it is a potential game-change your and the reason is it but democratic incumbents who voted for the law in the question of, were you part of the misleading of us or will you take the tax down, if pressed on it. it is hard, an issue that galvanizes to the other side and races like virginia where allen has had a hard time fighting a campaign against the former chairman, of the dnc, tim kaine, and that changes the race and in may, tim kaine, who everybody says he'll win and is supporting obama and now the question, it gives openings republicans didn't have in some places. >> gregg: ed, how would you handicap the senate flipping. >> there is a great chance and most seats are open seats and clair mccaskill in missouri will be in trouble, a democrat. and, that is an issue that will work and i think we have a real opportunity to do it and hold the house and can win the presidency and can win this. >> gregg: can we put up the electoral map, really fast? mitt romney is doing a little

better since the last time we put it up there. look at that. obviously the reds and the blues and the yellows are in play. but, the president still has a substantial lead. >> let me give you one line, the other thing that happened last week was on monday, the supreme court ruled in favor of the arizona immigration law, another victory for obama but in the process, obama lost the state of arizona and on the map it is now moving to leaning romney. >> gregg: a quick, everybody's predictions and pat, starts with you. >> my prediction is, unemployment is either going to tick up or hold steady and will hurt obama come next friday, when we get the new unemployment numbers. gregg: ed. >> i think mitt romney will name the vp candidate early in august, and i think it will be someone safe and someone who obviously can step in -- >> gregg: give me a name. >> rob portman is the front-runner. >> gregg: ryan. >> ryan is a great choice, also. >> gregg: pawlenty, too vanilla. >> he's a good man, i would not

be shocked. >> gregg: not daring... >> i would consider ryan a disaster, personally, you want to break medicare -- >> i think he wants vanilla, mitt romney is vanilla and wants vanilla to run against mr. superstar with too much charisma. >> gregg: gentlemen, thank you very much, pat, john, ed, terrific panel as always, you can get more every monday, 10: 30 and tomorrow ed rollins will again fill in for doug schoen and they'll be back next sunday, you can follow them on twitter @fninsiders. >> heather: baby, it's hot outside. before you take your little one out for fun in the sun don't forget the sunscreen -- or is that a bad idea? coming up, new rules about applying sunblock to babies.

>> heather: the fda setting guidelines for sunscreen and exposure for babies and both should be avoided for chin under 6 months old and there is a baby

right there. >> gregg: isn't that a cutey! and guess what? it comes, the debate, just how well sunscreen works on everybody and joining us dr. kathleen london, family practice physician, doctor, great to see you as always. actually, isn't there a bit of a debate, some people say -- some dermatologists say don't use it at all. >> the issue is when the sunscreen blocks off the sub it turns off our natural protection against sun and the problem is, the oxidation reaction occurs, that will lead to kerns and the question is will it ultimately lead to cancer and australian data says no it is working with us and, tomatoes have a lot of antioxidants in them and a study was done on tomato paste, actually, and that reverses the problem. so, i take the route of eat 6 to 7 servings a week of tomato

products or take it is as a supplement and wear sunscreen and a hat. >> gregg: and, limit your exposu exposure. >> heather: the sunscreen... when you are talking about the numbers, i mean, 75, and 85... >> i know the data out there, suggests that over 50 and some say over 35 doesn't make a difference. i buy the 100. but this is what the warning is. it says, babies, no, not under 6 months, there are two chemicals in them, and, 6 months, you know, babies have thinner skin than adults do and even older children and, a larger surface area. we don't know if they are absorbing the chemical and what it can do and you and me, we won't and even the ones that are natural, that have either titanium dioxide or zinc oxide which i prefer for children you are still running the risk, we don't know in the under 6-month-old population and i don't care what it says, no. use clothing that has sun protection in it, and, put them under an umbrella and you can

get a beachum brael, if you are going to the beach with your baby and if you bring them in the water, keep a hat on them and apply it just in some areas and test it first on the wrist to make sure there is no reaction to it and then, you can put it on more -- and wash it off. >> gregg: what do you tell parents, what is the safe age or month? put sunscreen on and got into the sun. >> over 6 months old. yes, over 6 months old. my son -- i use sprays on my kids because they are moving targets. >> heather: how old is she? >> 13 months. >> you can use it on her, absolutely. >> i like the ones that work by blocking, metal and zinc oxide and titanium dioxide work by forming a barrier. gregg: and for everybody else, including adults, what do you do? you recommend, stay out of the sun, the high... >> from 10:00 to 2:00 is the highest uv time and is the most damage it will have on you,

aging your skin as well as cancer. and number one anti-aging, stay out of the sun and wear sunscreen. and, use a hat with a brim and... >> heather: which i have, i war it everywhere. >> and, sun protection... i'm a big fan of clothing with uv protection in it. >> gregg: and it is reasonably priced, too. >> and, i googled before i came here, when my boys -- they are teenagers now and when they were babies, own one company made it and you had to order it six months ahead of time and now it is pretty ubiquitous. >> and on days like today, the sun is not as intense... >> majority of sun damage happens on -- every day. >> thank you so much, have a great week, everybody. >> heather: that's it. bye. and a fast acting formula. so you can kill bugs inside, and keep bugs out. guaranteed. ortho home defense max.
