"fox & friends" starts right now.

>> breaking news this saturday morning. you are looking at the new judges for "american idol." >> we could do it. >> alisyn: i would love that. i would love that. >> what role would you play though? you would be the one. >> i would be randy. >> yeah, dog. >> you would be the one that would be great job. >> no i have opinions. i have opinions about music. i would like to share them. >> you would be the jerk. >> no problem there. >> and the you would be what up, dog. >> meanwhile, there is new news there b. those uniforms that the team u.s.a. will be wearing at the 2012 olympic games which starts in a few weeks. much controversy because it turns out ralph lauren

manufacturing these outfits overseas in china but ralph lauren saying we can't switch it up now. this is how it's going to stay with the berets and all. it's going to stay this year. >> they do say they will switch it up for 2014 all the human cry about how these were not manufactured in the u.s.a. for, you know, our crowning american achievement of going to the olympics that they really should be manufactured in the u.s. and so they will do that for 2014. obviously they have already made them in china and they can't turn it around now. >> oddly enough, this of all things inspired rare bipartisanship on capitol hill. here is john boehner, nancy pelosi and even harry reid weighing in on this controversy and, yet, there is a potential legislation here, listen. >> we take such pride and then they work so hard. they represent the very best and they are so excellent. it's all so beautiful and they should be wearing uniforms that are made in america. >> you would think they would know better. >> i am so upset that i think

the olympic committee should be ashamed of themselves. i think they should be embarrassed. i think they should take all uniform, put them in a big pile and burn them. >> that i think is going way off 00 cliff. senator gillibrand of new york though fellow democrats in the senate proposing legislation to band united states apparel from being manufactured outside of the united states. a new york company hickey freeman says they will step up, make all the uniforms in time for the opening ceremony. >> to be clear for olympics. not just in general. >> legislation. they can't pass a budget. >> this is absurd. >> democrats don't propose a budget but legislation for that. >> i don't mind the joke about atlantic burned. not let t be burned because it's manufactured in china. >> burn it because they look ugly. the outfits are absurd. >> let me add. this where have these politicians been? are they not aware we have a manufacturing problem here in the u.s.a.? a lot of stuff is no longer

manufactured in the u.s.? >> i'm sure if we look at whatever label is on it. >> charles krauthammer said last night he said get over it it's silly season all of our stuff is manufactured in china. that's the way it is. we demanded cheaper goods in this country. when $3,000 plasma televisions came out and we said we can't afford companies started making them at target and now you can go to target and buy them for 499. >> obviously should things. we should manufacture more stuff in the united states. for the fact that they're just noticing now that we have. this it's like i'm shocked shocked that there is gambling in this establishment. i can't believe that they are all -- it seems like manufacture outrage. >> shocking. >> really. >> winter games as we mentioned 2014 in russia will be u.s.-made. he we are looking back now at the best and some of the worst uniforms in u.s. olympic history. we report, you decide. what's the first one we're going to take a look back at, guys? >> russia -- yeah, this is

russia in 2012. we think we have it bad going into london? what is that. >> this is the boy band's look. >> looks like something out of hall hallmark. >> boy band look. >> far left is davy jones. >> things arrive a little late in russia. >> look at the australian team. wow. >> harry potter. >> harry potter. >> going to hog warts. >> holiday in greece standoff. >> spain, beijing in 2008 going back a little bit. that looks like flight attendants from maybe virgin atlantics. >> netherlands from 2008. this looks like borat suits. >> i like those. you don't like those? >> it's because you are wearing that outfit. you could participate in the olympic games. >> send me to netherlands, baby. we just showed that. >> let's look at japan in

athens in 2004. >> wow. that's joseph's techni color dream coat. >> that or manhattan looks similar to that. and barcelona in 1992. here you go. >> team safari. >> that's busy. >> all going safari. >> we want you to weigh in on this controversy though. i'm more outraged by the enter race than i am -- >> what do you have against the beret? >> we don't wear berets. i know there are the green berets. >> maybe you should. >> let us know. can you find us on twitter. let us know which one was your favorite and least favorite of all those faces. >> the veep states continue this morning. weird news came out at the end of the week. >> speaking of team u.s.a. >> right here is team u.s.a. could this be team u.s.a. condoleezza rice as mitt romney's vice presidential choice? this was, of course, all the

news at the end of the week it. it was sort of curious because white house saying curious timing of all of this information that sort of came out. they believe it was well placed to distract from all the bane discussions going on. now the rumors here this morning that don't seem to be holding um that she is not going to be the vice presidential choice. >> to your point some people thought this was created by matt drudge, drudge report as a fun diversion. it did catch fire. and everybody started talking about it. condoleezza rice, the only person who has denied being interested in being vice president more than chris christie is condoleezza rice. >> adamantly. here is what her spokesman said on friday reiterating what alli is talking about. she stands by her previous statements nothing has changed. that echos what mitt romney said on friday as well when carl cammeron asked mitt. he said look do you stand by the fact that you said you would not pick a pro-choice v.p.? he said i'm not going to comment on v.p. but i am standing by everybody i said

on the campaign trail. stephan hayes, on o'reilly last night basically said it's that issue. it's abortion. more than the bush administration, that means condi is probably not even being considered here. listen. >> he he said than interview with me that he had -- won't even be considering apro-choice running mate, condoleezza rice is pro-choice. she described herself as moderately pro-choice. i think the romney campaign has tried so hard avoiding governor romney to flip flop on anything given the fact he had been so criticized in the past he they would be low to pick somebody pro-choice on the ticket when he has already ruled that out. >> one of the things that lent to the credence that ann romney said a woman was being considered. considers -- condoleezza rice is a natural. >> senator from new hampshire is on the short list and number of individuals who are on this short list.

oh good that means marco rubio is back in the list. he has voyeur sifer russly denied having anything to do with being vice president. worst jobs in washington who do you think has more power. >> this is one of the more intriguing aspects. >> rubio and christie who is shake things up. no way it's condoleezza rice for various reasons, abortion is probably the top of the list. >> >> we'll do former with the h.w. bush administration official. float a name i promise have not heaferred best choice for v.p. >> interesting. jlo. >> now she is free from "american idol." >> here will your headlines. we begin with a fox news alert for you right now. tell you about this disturbing news. homicide bomber killing 22 people including top military and political figures. this happened at a wedding in northern afghanistan. an afghan parliament member is among the dead. he was mosing the wedding for

>> coming from banks or government or just from the private sector? >> they will have the government pay you faster if you are a small business. there is a lot of logistics in there. will it really do it in 15 days as they claim? i don't think so. any day i get cash on this side is a good thing. >> do you happen to know off handily -- i don't mean to throw you off the bus. how long were they waiting? 60, 90 days? freelance work sometimes takes that long. >> on average if you have 30 day receivable you are not going to get that from 45 to 60 day thes if i get paid in 30 i want to feel good about that. >> one is yes. this helps small businesses. increasing the maximum small business administration loan from 250,000 to 350,000. that seems like that would be a good thing. >> no. completely mismissed the point here. absolutely not.

not that business owners are looking to get more money. we are actually looking not to get more money. the problem is not raising the limit. the problem is i have to secure my assets. 60% of that loan. so now what happens is they are asking for personal guarantees. they are asking for 60% of the loan. give me a bigger loan which means i have got to secure even more? i don't have that kind of capital to secure it and the second thing is the documentation in order to get the loan is where our problem is getting the loan is the problem. not increasing the gloon which brings us to the third one here. third and final. streamlining applications for the small businesses loan administration. streamlining this process seems like it would be a good thing for businesses? yes? no? that. >> would be great if it was. i can find no indication of the word streamline in our world. absolutely not. the reality is what would really help not making less paperwork. why would you not give me a dedicated representative that works specifically with small business. now i move up the pack faster.

dedicated resources for us. not just saying i'm going to take a page out of the application. >> so one out of three. >> that's okay. we get one. i will take one. we're moving in the right direction. >> take what we can get. amilya antonetti. thank you for breaking this down for us. still ahead on the show. picking a fight with pig farmers. humane society says pig facilities are violating e.p.a. the president of the national pork producer's council says that's a high. he is here to explain next.

>> 6:23. two men have been indicted with trying to smuggle nuclear related materials from the townhouse iran. justice department says two

of the environment. joining us is the president elect of the pork producer's council. what's going on here. >> good morning. glad to be here. the humane society of the united states is alleging that pork producers have failed to file paperwork on the reporting role. let's start and really at the beginning. humane society of the united states is an animal rights, animal activist group that falsely raises funds by appealing to the emotions of pet owners in the united states. they don't use that money to improve the life of those dogs and cats. in fact, they spend less than 1% of the money that they raise, the millions of dollars that they raise on those animals. and yet they are funding attorneys to file malicious and false paperwork violations against pork producers. >> here is the paperwork from the humane society we will read you. these pig confinement operations are a menace to the environment, to the community,

and to the animals virtually immobilized in tiny gestation crates for nearly their entire lives. environ. >> mental degradation is just as sorted as the record on the systemic treatment of animals. that's a harsh indictment of your if i have. what do you respond to that? >> let's go back to what the truth is. really this is what i'm going to tell you about the environmental record of american pig farmers. we took $6 million of producer money, not pet owner money. not who he main society money, not government money, pork producer money. we funded a two year study over multiple states, multiple facilities to actually provide the regulating authority, which is e.p.a. with factual data. we voluntarily turn that data over to e.p.a. we are not hiding anything. we have actually cooperated with the environmental protection agency to deal with

facts and deal with truth. and so we're awaiting those results currently with -- from the environmental protection agency. the truth be known. there is two ways that those farms could comply with this arcane rule. let's be very clear here. it's just a reporting role. it's a paperwork role. they could either voluntarily report, which according to my understanding many of them have done. either that or they became part of the air consent agreement which was part of the study. >> is this an effort to drive you out of business. >> yes, it is. i think it's an earth to raise the cost of food production in the united states to add to the bureaucratic burden of producing food in this country. >> okay. randy spronk. thanks for coming in and giving us your side of the story. >> coming up on the show, mitt romney still waiting for an apology after a ebb move president obama's re-election team called mitt romney a potential felon.

>> more political news. in an interview with cbs, president obama said the biggest mistake of his first term was not telling a story to give americans a sense of unit. in response americans were like yeah, fixing the economy would have been cool too. that story thing. >> why could have -- we could have used big story that would have been the big news out of the romney campaign all week. stefanie cutter had to go ahead and make the biggest headline and change the whole game for the romney campaign this week on a conference call this week. >> when you say testify any, you mean one of the spokes people for president obama campaign manager of his re-election campaign in which she said that romney is not being honest about his time at bain capital and exactly when he left. he says he left in 1999.

however, some records presented to the sec have him still listed as the the ceo through 2000 and 2001. she said that if he misrepresented it to the sec, that that is a felony. here is the sound from this week. >> either mitt romney through his own words and his own signature was misrepresenting his position at bain to the sec, which is a felony, or he was misrepresenting his position at bain to the american people a void responsibility for some of the consequences of his investments. >> mitt romney recently told fox news channel that when you are responding to attacks, you are losing in your campaign. well, suddenly hastily the romney campaign put up like five different television interviews in an effort to respond to all of these bane attacks and told carl cammeron last night that these attacks have to stop and these are

beneath the office of the presidency. listen. beneath the dignity of the presidency and of its exanget he needs to reign in his team and to finally take responsibility for what they are saying. this is reallied a suffered. but you know, i think this is showing a pattern. the president says is he going to raise taxes on people. is he trying to gut welfare reform as we know it and he launches attacks of this nature. it's beneath the dignity of his office. >> these are not going away. romney campaign thought these were going to go away. cory booker and ed rendell undercutting them. they are not. frank luntz sean hannity focus group. bain attack ads where romney needs them have been effective. >> romney campaign went way

too far with that felony line. i don't think he he should run away from this. i think he should point out and point out that the obama campaign and the president himself doesn't seem to know a whole lot about business. anyone who knows this industry and i'm just beginning to learn a bit about it knows that you can remain as a ceo of a company and still not be a part of the day-to-day operations. not make the day-to-day decisions about outsourcing and what you are doing with particular companies. obama campaign has to know this. if this is fundamental if you know anything about the industry. >> do people apay attention. >> you should if you are running for president. >> it's easy to play up in an ad. if you are a voter do you pay attention to the nuances. he was doing the olympics still listed as ceo. >> incumbent sitting president you expect better of them and expect them to do their homework and be honest with the american people. and talking about romney how he, his only goal was to make profits and return shareholder value.

that's what businesses do. and if you understood businesses, you would understand that. >> well, i had a chance yesterday, i filled in on america's newsroom to interview gail, who is a spokesperson for the romney campaign. and she said exactly that that, yes, he was still listed on these sec documents through 2001. he was collecting a paycheck. he was not involved in any of the operational decisions about outsourcing or jobs or bankruptcies. >> temporary job. >> there is a way to have both. be true in that he was still connected but not making any of the decisions. that should answer it. however, we also interviewed ben, a spokes person for the obama campaign who says no they stand by the felony accusations. >> i'm stunned. >> stand by it because apparently as you said it must be resonating. >> the "the washington post" should it surety it down. fact check.org said the same thing no credibility to these allegations. >> more headlines if you are

just waking up. we have tell you that lawyers for george zimmerman now asking the judge handling his case to step down out of fear that he is biased. they are specifically pointing to comments he made earlier this month when he accused zimmerman of manipulating the courts and trying to flee the country while out on bail. zimmerman is charged, of course with killing the florida teenager trayvon martin, something he says he did in self-defense. it's now up to the judge to decide whether to step down. >> former presidential hopeful rick santorum doing something he has never done before. campaigning for mitt romney. hold an event today in greensburg, pennsylvania. the romney camp asks santorum to participate in the event and he happily agreed. big turn around after months of fierce debate during primary season. it could soon cost you more to use your credit card. visa and master card settling long running lawsuit retailers so-called swipe fees. charges that businesses pay credit card companies every time a business uses a card. gives businesses a green light

any idea at this point, you are almost 10 years into this organization, how many guys you have helped in some fashion. >> good morning, rick. the american public through the wounded warrior projects has helped tens of thousands of wounded warriors and their families. who knew 10 years ago when we went to war we would be here 10 years later. the american public is not getting weary of supporting the troops. talk about the rock aways have been through this community right here. >> it's been hit hard. first responders a lot of people that walked on wall street. they picked themselves up and dusted themselves off. tremendous support for the warriors. >> you can look back and see the manhattan sky line. coming up this it's different because can see the world trade center gone up ground zero. what does that mean to you seeing that stand in the skyline now? >> it's very special because this organization started because of 9/11. we knew that day we were --

reading and math and other subjects engaging kids may be falling by the wayside. not true in every school but some schools. >> what about the reports we hear kids are burdened with hours and hours of homework every night. >> up town problem. no doubt that is learnly true for some rarefied subsouthwest kids. i used to teach in the south bronx for several years. my kids were not going home with 70 pounds of book and five hours of homework. >> south bronx is probably one of the poorest school districts in the country. >> sure, that's true. never school there is going to be range. we tend to hear in the media about those scare stories about kids doing six or eight hours oht who are wildly overscheduled. that really is the exception not the rule. >> in other words, in order to let other kids pass in some of these no child left behind programs, they have had to dumb down. so curriculum. >> i call it unintended consequence. i'm not one of those who think it's happening on purpose. or that teachers are out to

get kids and make their lives easier. that's not true. have you range kids in any given school. put yourself in the teacher's position. if i have some subset of my kids who are already where i need them to be, reading on grade level doing math on grade level what incentive do i have to spend time focusing on those kids and challenging them? you really are almost incentivized to focus on lower level kids. >> what's the solution. >> there are new standards coming down. almost every state in the country will have the same set of english and math standards and more to the point every state will have the same test. one or two tests. we will be able to compare and say if new york kids are ripping the cover of 00 ball and florida kids are not, then maybe we can look at that and figure out what is it that new york is doing and florida isn't and learn from that? having said that it's complicated. there is a lot of different factors that go into success in school. >> randy from core knowledge foundation thanks so much for coming in. >> my pleasure, thanks. >> president obama asked about

being obese may qualify as an impairment. are the obese in this country the newest protected class? fair and balanced and i'm guessing heated debate. fox news analyst arthur aidala and joey jackson. arthur is going to argue for the obese for obvious reasons. i'm kidding. you look good eric fite sue as company because they withdrew a temporary conditional hire because his weight posed significant health and safety risks associated with extreme obesity. why should the obese be a protected class, arthur? because, first of all, vu got to define owe he would he say city. i would like to think you were making a joke but i think i'm 20 pounds. i'm not joking i'm 20 pounds over my ideal weight.

>> you have heard this? they are saying that condoleezza rice is on the top of the vice presidential list for mitt romney. many republicans think they compliment each other. romney has experience with american jobs. condi has experience with foreign countries and since all american jobs are in foreign countries they would be the perfect. >> jay leno putting a perspective for us. speaking of mitt's v.p. pick. romney's campaign has said he will pick his v.p. running mate before republic national convention at the end of august. rumors are swirling that the big announcement could come as early as next woke.

let's just say mitt hasn't exactly been forth coming thus far. >> i can't tell you anything about the v.p. process. you know that. if i did, i would have to, you know,. [ laughter ] i would have to come after you with my men in black flashlight and erase your memory. >> so how important is the v.p. pick as far as timing of the announcement? let's ask james lee, a former campaign spokesman to president h.w. bush. good to see you, sir. >> good morning. how are you? >> doing great. let's first start with the whole condoleezza rice chatter it started with bill kristol talking about her name and then utah fundraiser for mitt romney. she was a huge hit. a speech she made went over very well. peggy noonan in the "wall street journal" wrote about it and then came a drudge head lynn on friday saying she was on the top of the list. first off, do you dismiss wholeheartedly the notion of considers as v.p. and why? >> well, i think there is a lot of attention focused on

her because she is a very attractive candidate. deep down she doesn't really want to put herself through this process. i think anyone who has just seen the past couple weeks of the campaigns and how really awful and muddy it's getting. i'm not sure she wants to go put herself through that trial this fall. she has already publicly stated that she doesn't want to do it. we will see what happens if she is actually offered the job and what she says. >> i would tend to agree with stephen hayes of "the weekly standard" said last night it's the abortion issue that really eliminates her she leans pro-choice. has he vowed to not pick a leaning pro-choice candidate v.p. 8 years with the bush administration. you have a name that i have not heard mentioned by anyone as a potential v.p. pick. it's not rob portman and tim pawlenty. marco rubio, bob donald, chris christie kelly iotte, any of them. it's who. >> it's senator jim demint the senator from the deep south. and it's a social conservative. is he a guy that is widely

regarded by searches as a real stall worth of that part of the party. i think the reason why i was talking about him was a lot of respects mitt romney is going to need an attack dog. that's what the vice presidential candidate does. is a guy that goes out out there and not a policy wonk but take the fire to the campaign to president obama and joe biden. you know. if have you is -- if you have someone like rob portman wonderful senator but about as exciting as watching milk get cold. not a great choice that's going to ebner jiz the base. my thought was you are going to need to find somebody to energize the base going down to the fall. >> the question with demint is. far to the right of mitt romney. doesn't romney need to pick up hispanics, perhaps i were hads, secure the female vote with picking a woman or at least help in that regard? how does jim demibility in any capacity help with

independents, those folks in the middle? >> that's one of the common misnomers in the campaign. if you look at the polling over the last couple weeks as the campaign has solidified. the numbers really haven't changed a heck of a lot. vast vorlt majority of americans. we have had three elections now where the electorate is pretty polarized and made up their minds. this election is laundry roomily going to come down to turnout he is essential especially the key battleground state. trying to change your position, to try to switch up 1% to 2% of the moderates and energize and make sure you get strategy by your base. the winning strategy is getting your base out. >> you keep talking about energizing and timing has a lot to do with that. if mitt romney unveils the v.p. pick just ahead of or right at the republic convention. you suggest he needs someone that will really surprise folks. why does the timing tell us a lot about who he will pick? >> well, i think the problem

you have is the longer you wait in the v.p. selection process it becomes this arcane process. picking v.p. is a lot of times more complicated to trying to decide hot championship is in the bcs. no one knows and no one actually agrees. the lingerer you wait there is a lot of attention that gets billed youred media. >> if you pick somebody who thinks there is going to be out of the box. deflalgt kind of moment where people said we waited all this time for this? if you are going to pick a safe choice like a rob portman or paul ryan, then do tellerrier? >> if jim demint from south carolina is your long who is your best guest? who items romney plays it safe? with portman? >> i have to believe how the campaign has been run the past couple months this is a campaign that wants to play it

safe that doesn't strike out too much out on its own. so, someone like rob portman or tim pawlenty or that ilk is really the one that they are thinking about. and i don't think that's really the recipe for success for this campaign. because at the end of the day, you know, the vice president has got to be on the trail to be and hammer hard. vice presidential debate joe biden guy who likes to drop f bombs. someone has to stand up. >> we have seen chris christie do that fairly well on the campaign trail and also amusement sparks. >> thanks for being here, sir. if there. >> thank you. >> coming up, caught on camera, a close call for one man as two trucks come careening his way how it all went down. yikes! straight ahead. then, she has brains and beauty. one miss florida u.s.a. contestant doesn't have one thing every other contestant has. her eyesight.

>> welcome back. 44 minutes now past the hour. the president using the debate over the bush era tax cuts to rally his base. >> i don't think top down economics works. i believe that we grow this economy from the middle out. from the bottom up. [cheers] >> i believe the heart of and soul of this country is making sure the working people can feel some security in the middle class and we're growing our middle class and we're going back to that basic american bargain that says everybody gets a fair shot. >> is the president's notion that we should raise taxes on the wealthy really the right

move in this economy. a senior reporter with human events has written some interesting pieces. over the past couple of weeks and we wanted to have him talk about some of this stuff. when you hear the president make that argument, first of all, is it resonating with voters and does it make sense to say the blame needs to be put on the wealthy? >> well, no. i think it's populace jibber irish to say that the wealthy have done something wrong or illegal to undermine the economy. does it make sense politically, it might with certain people. when we struggle we are looking for someone to blame and a lot of people want to blame the wealthy. as far as economics go there is really no blame to be put there. maybe in singular cases but not overall. >> you make the case in your article about the cost of all of this. you keep getting frustrated because you keep hearing about well we can't afford to continue these tax cuts because how are we going to pay for these tax cuts? we want to continue these tax cuts for the middle class but we can't continue to fax cuts for the wealthy. they just cost too much. your frustration? >> right. tax cuts don't cost government anything. spending costs government

something. these tax cuts he is talking about are a decade old. so it doesn't cost us anything. what costs us something is all the spending we're doing. i think sort of a sense of entitlement as if the president or the government has some sort of claim to all our money. it doesn't work that way. that's not the baseline. we have to cut spending first. he has no interest in doing that. >> david you know and bottom line is neither party has cut spending in 50 years both republicans and democrats spend like drunken sailors. the argument we need to cut spending is, that ever going to happen? doesn't seem like it some days. we need to reform entitle entitlements. simple our tax code. i'm not saying things are perfect. i'm saying as campaign rhetoric which is all this is essentially to blame the rich and to we are talking about 80 bddle a lot of money a year.

it's not enough to save or do anything. it's not as if they are going to take this money and start paying down the debt or anything. they are going to spend more. >> trickling down other leaders in the democratic party this campaign rhetoric about the middle class vs. the wealthy class. senator harry reid the other day painted a picture of kim kardashian and paris hilton saying basically they don't need to be getting these government handouts and massive tax cuts. you wrote an interesting piece arguing that they create plenty of jobs. take us through it. so he shouldn't be picking on kardashian. >> he this are national treasures. >> more than that, i don't get it but a lot of people buy products that have the names of kim kardashian on t. they create a lot of jobs. i looked into it it talking about generating almost a billion dollars or more, you know, in products and all kinds of fragrances and fashion, you know, things. i'm not exactly sure what they sell. >> we don't need -- you and i probably have no concept of it throw the numbers up on the screen. $35 billion reality show.

the weight loss supplements. the perfumes. co-founded shoe does dazzle.com. people are employed as a result of that. here is harry reid talking about this. listen. >> unlike our proposal, the republic plan, which passed the house of representatives, wouldn't do a thick to encourage hiring. more than 99% of business in america would qualify for this extravagant tax break. even if they don't create a single new job or raise wages for one solitary employee. in fact, so-called small business owners like kim kardashian and paris hilton could qualify for these wasteful give aways. >> your thoughts on that as we say goodbye? >> well, i would rather -- you know, people like reid talk about creating jobs. government can take money from someone and create a nonsustainable job. paris hilton fortunately creates sustainable jobs.

unfortunately it's her doing it i would rather have her keep that money than have harry reid waste that known. >> true enough. there you go. you can read his great writing online and link to it on foxnews.com. human events. thanks so much, david, we appreciate you joining us. >> thank you. >> coming up on the show mitt romney still holding out for apology after a member of president obama's re-election team called him a potential felon. what mitt is saying now about these ramped up attacks from his time at bain capital. women, not the only ones who struggle with body image. men deal with it, too. some experts putting the blame on action figures like g.i. joe. but can a toy really have that kind of effect on young men? we're going to explore this with dr. keith ablow next. male spirit present.trong

it's the priceline negotiator. >>what? >>sorry. he wants you to know about priceline's new express deals. it's a faster way to get a great hotel deal without bidding. pick one with a pool, a gym, a great guest rating. >>and save big. >>thanks negotiator. wherever you are. ya, no. he's over here. >>in the refrigerator? would you mind if to be i go ahead of you?omer. instead we had someone go ahead of him and wifty thousand dollars. congratulations you are our one millionth customer. people don't li to miss out on money that should have been theirs. that's why at ally we have the raise your rate 2-year cd. you can get a one-time rate increase if our two-year rate goes up. if your bank mes you miss out, you need an ally. ally bank. no nonsense. just people sense.

>> we think to think of anor rex anorexia and bulimia as women's problems. men can suffer as well. they can work out in a gym extreme degree. >> toys like even the g.i. joe action figures are to blame. but can a toy really have that significant an effect on men or is this too far-fetched an idea? >> here to weigh in on this is psychiatrist dr. keith ablow from fox news medical a team. nice to see you this morning. >> you too. >> i think dave and i and probably aly too give our sons and kids action figures to play with. my son playing with avenger action figures right now. he is 2 years old.

is this setting him up for failure? >> look, i don't think so. i understand there is a balancing act. you wouldn't want to deluge your children with constant messages that they need to be perfect physically. but, kids have always had will idealized role models according to gender. you know, you could make the argument, i guess, that you shouldn't take kids to football games. we wouldn't them to think they should be that fast or that strong if that's what we're telling them to be. number one, why not? number two, these action figures they don't qualify for diagnoses of anorexia or bow lehman i can't. if anything ideal body weight. >> they're ripped and jacked. big arms, the cut a.b.s. i have a lot of action figures at our house and they are, i will say they are very chiseled figures, is that a bad example for our kids? that's what i'm struggling with i do undery stand 40% of teens and 2 a% of adult eating disorders are male. why is it a bad example to show the muscular men? >> here's the thing.

i'm not sure it is. i think it reminds boys that they are boys. i think boys are naturally almost genetically drawn to this. bottom line is the real demons in our world nutritionally are obesity. overweight. if you can cozy up to not getting there really but that's the ideal in a way hey. what's the big deal? people want to be strong. think of arnold schwarzenegger. >> yeah, isn't it also just as girls are susceptible to seeing that idealized body image of beautiful models there are more guys who are celebrities like ryan gosling and zac efron who have perfect six pack a.b.s if he would going to start searching for the roots. go look at metro sexuality. don't look at the rock. look at the fact that we have blurred gender roles so substantially that men are getting their eyebrows tweaked

breathalyzer, no problem. a product that claims to make the extra alcohol in your mouth disappear. does this promote drunk driving? we'll debate it "fox & friends" hour three starts right now. >> welcome to "fox & friends" on this saturday morning. that is dave briggs. alisyn camerota. i'm clayton morris, we are in what some are calling the silly season of politics right now. right now being ramped up because of attacks that came from the obama administration this past week. >> unusually mitt romney is fighting back. he usually doesn't do a whole lot of television interviews but on friday mitt romney did five network television interviews because is he furious about what the obama campaign has done attacking character, it all boils down to this from stefanie cutter of the obama campaign on a conference call earlier this

week insinuating mitt romney may have committed a felony. >> either mitt romney through his own words and his own signature was misrepresenting his position at bain to the sec, which is a felony. or, he was misrepresenting his position at bain to the american people to avoid responsibility for some of the consequences of his investments. >> okay. at issue here is that mitt romney says he left bain capital in 1999 why this is significant because in 2000 and 2001, bain capital was responsible for some bankruptcies, some layoffs, some jobs being shipped overseas. mitt romney says he had no part in the operational decision-making in the bain capital. sec documents show he was still listed of as the ceo and possibly primary stake holder other things. >> he was running -- he was saving the winter olympics of salt lake city.

>> correct. the obama campaign. you heard them use that strong language of a possible felony. mitt romney has fired back in this interview with carl cammeron. it's ridiculous and of course beneath the dignity of the presidency and of his campaign. he really needs to reign in his team and finally take responsibility for what they are saying. this is really absurd. you know, i think had is showing pattern. you just had very bad news on the economic front with now 41 straight months with unemployment above 8%. and what does the president do? he says is he going to raise taxes on people. he is trying to gut welfare reform as we know it he launches attacks of this nature. well, it's just beneath the dignity of his office. >> mitt romney is right. he is sees this as farn. he is right. he was actually working there was a time he thought cory booker and came out and said we need to stop this is stuff, democrats. it turns it out according to

focus groups and focus groups that luntz has been looking at and poll ads and television ads some of these bain attacks have been working. they are trying to paint mitt romney a certain way before he has a chance to paint himself and they seem to be taking hold. >> ed rendell saying obama campaign went too far with these comments. where did this t. go from here. is this thing over. clearly the facts are. in the "the washington post" has said there is nothing to this allegation. fact check.org has said it is incorrect to say that he was running the day-to-day operations at bain during this period. it's it very inside baseball. strange for a man who said his problem was story telling and not inspiring americans. that's what the president said this week. men while, attacking romney is his centerpiece of his campaign. >> meanwhile, i was on america's newsroom yesterday and had on a spokesman from the campaign. do you stand by what stefanie cutter said they said yes we do. they are not backing down.

they are not going to awill to guise it appears at this hour. we will keep you posted. right now we have this fox news alert for you. death toll from the homicide bombing we have been reporting in afghanistan continues to rise at least 23 people are now reported dead. that attack targeting a wedding early this morning. the homicide bomber posing as a guest and then detonating the device while hugging the bride's father who was a member of afghanistan's parliament. a top member ever the afghan intelligence service was also among those killed in the attack. the taliban is denying responsibility at this time. >> well, it's going to cost you more to use your credit card. visa and master card settling a long running lawsuit with retailers so-called swipe fees charges businesses pay to credit card companies every time a customer uses a credit card. new deal gives businesses green light to charge you more money to pay with plastic. former presidential hopeful rick santorum doing something he has never done before. he is campaigning for mitt

>> welcome back. the number of americans on food stamps skyrocketing. the last seven years the number of people on food stamps has jumped from 23.8 million to 44.7 million

people making it the largest, the second largest entitlement program. so what's behind this disturbing trend? joining me now is author and star parker. good to see you. >> great to see you, dave. >> few more people on food stamps. the economy has not yet recovered. we are still trying to put out of this recession. nuclear is staggering. cost of food stamp program before president obama, look at the numbers. now they did increase under president bush as you can see. nowhere near as much as they have in the last three years. you are looking at 22 billion-dollar increase since 2009. the entire 8 years of president bush increased some 18 billion. why is it so dramatically increasing today? >> one of the reasons is because when nancy pelosi had the gavel they rebranded food stamps. they changed it into a snap program and they gave them little debit cards. so we started taking away the shame out of being on welfare. it's no longer welfare

program. another thing that happened is they started changing the rules when it comes to who grows food and how much. when you think about some of the environmental policies out of the e.p.a. it hinders our farmers from being able to produce food. so the prices are going up. there are a couple of things other than the economy that are driving this new food stamp phenomena. >> nancy pelosi even has talked about as a job creator in the past which some weren't exactly thrilled with. and now they may be making it each easier. the obama administration and we're just getting to understand this, appeared to open the door for states do away with the requirement that you look for work in order to get welfare. what should the government be doing? should they be discouraging it rather than encouraging food starps? >> they should be discouraging. remember, in the mid 90's when we changed welfare policy i actually consulted on federal welfare reform during that time and bill clinton signed it into law. we were removing our government -- country from

government dependency. we are moving them toward. they believe it's an engine for the economy. that's what's at stake what kind of a nation are we going to be? government-tend dent or free people who determine through the free market what kind of employment opportunities are available for the next generation? >> this goes all the way up to the top. this isn't just circumstances of the downturn? >> oh, absolutely not. this is world view. this this is policy. what's happened is many americans normally who would never go anywhere near welfare are just throwing in the towel. they work all their life. they see what's going on. they are excessively taxed and they are saying forget it you know what? i'm going to have a good time right now i'm going to buy a steak dinner and pass the bill to the guy behind me. >> advertising program encouraging people to go on it. ask you quickly about the naacp speech that mitt romney gave this past week. a lot of attention given to the fact that he was booed after mentioning he would repeal obama care. how do you feel about how that was covered and the fact that mitt romney didn't go there,

didn't change his message. he didn't pander one bit. wasn't received as well as he would have liked. needless to say. >> he knew how he would be received. he also knew the press what had happened had he not shown up. he has to be commended for going. for speaking, clearly and what we can't, ig northerly how many ovations he got. we can focus on the booze when it comes to obama care, but because most blacks get their healthcare from the government already. so of course they don't want this repealed and replaced. that said there were many who were supportive of his message when it came to educational options and looking at the economy and certainly on the social issues. >> does he have a chance of getting some of the african-american vote. >> you have got to be kidding there what we do have a chance to get some of the reforms that we are talking about from the conservative right when it comes to what kind of policies we should lack forward to after the next administration is in place. >> author and columnist star star parker great having you on. >> thank you. >> who is happier conservatives or liberals?

barry martin. gentlemen, good morning. >> good morning, alisyn. >> you think this product is dangerous. why? >> >> clearly it's dangerous. we lose 10,000 people every year to drunk drivers. another 340,000 are injured by drunk drivers. you have a product that might give someone who would think twice about driving crunch that little bit of extra courage to risk it. that makes it a dangerous product. >> larry, you support this product. what do you think? is it not dangerous? >> first off, i'm not affiliated with the product. but, secondly, the product won't prevent any signs of impairment. it's not going to lower somebody's blood alcohol. simply it will lower what is the residual effects of a drink in someone's mouth. the only one that will lower someone's alcohol level is time. anyone come up with a product that will sober people up i'm in, i will invest. >> let's hear what the company itself says about this product. they say it's actually to protect sober drivers. here is their statement. we support law enforcement and

do not condone drunk driving. our goal is to improve the accuracy in roadside breath testing. our billboard reminds people to drink responsibly. sometimes people get false positives from alcohol residue in their mouth and this helps that. >> sure. residual mouth alcohol can effect a breath test. the problem is with the field sobriety protocols, you are going to have horizontal gaze test first. you are going to have some divided attention tests after that that's the -- you know, walk in a line. turn around and come back. stand on one leg. and if you fail those three tests, then the arresting officer will give you that breathalyzer test. well, nhtsa will tell us that residual mouth alcohol will last up to 20 minutes. by the time have you been pulled over they are vun your license and given you three physical tests. that residual mouth alcohol is gone. that makes this product completely unnecessary.

besides the fact that. >> just one second. larry, your law firm specializes in helping people who have been accused of dwi. do you find there are often these false positives? is that a big problem? >> well, any breath test manufacturer would tell you that mouth alcohol has always been a problem with breath testing. and police officers are trained not to rely solely on the breath test in the field. that's why at the station the breath tests are designed to be a litigation bit more accurate and there still always have been problems with mouth alcohol it did lead to higher than somebody's true alcohol level. may show higher alcohol than somebody's body. if you are foolish to believe this product is going to get you out of a dui you probably deserve to be cited with a du glimplet give people false confidence to get behind the wheel. >> sure. it's going to give them, you know, you are sitting there at the bar and having a drink and look down at the end of the bar and here is this product. you are going to say hey, this says can i beat the dui.

the fact of the matter is you can't beat the dui. if you have zero residual alcohol. the test will bring up the alcohol that's in your body if you are drunk. >> and, larry, you are not concerned about that being a by product of this? >> look, if you keep this product in your car or your caught with this product you are going to be the laughing stock of the police force and every prosecutor and judge in court. everyone would know you were trying to mask the signs or use of alcohol. again, this product is not going to sober you up. i don't believe that people go out with the intention that i'm going to gout, drink as much as i can, i will take the product and i will be fin. i think that is a foolish thought. >> gotcha. go ahead. last word. >> i would just say i agree. i think what it's going to do is have that person who would have thought twice about it maybe take the chance. that's where the risk is. >> we would love to hear from our viewers as well. thanks so much for debating it it? >> thank you, alisyn. >> still ahead. she is the longest serving

a good time. want to talk about the weather this morning. we have had a really busy week from the big heat wave that we have had. take a look at the weather maps right now. current temps waking up things better temperaturewise as you are starting out right now. got the 70s kind of all across the eastern half of the country. humid and that means some thunderstorms will pop up today when you look at the radar. see the eastern half of the country, scattered showers, few scattered thunderstorms, nothing that's going to create a wash-out for anybody for the day. just be prepared today for much of the eastern part of the country. going to have that out across the west. some significant rain across arizona, knew talk, nevada. along with that we do have flash flooding concerns and all kind of flash flood advisories will be posted. another one to two inches of rain. yuma arizona saw about one and a half inches of rain that is half of their annual rain fall total they got yesterday. quickly look at your temps for the day today. see that heat once again blild building into the plains. next bit of heat wave going to

be moving into across the central part of the country into the east. take a look at this for your monday and tuesday. 90's return and it's humid. another oppressive heat building across parts of that more on the weather coming up. as well as much more coming up with great wounded warriors here at the top of the hour. guys? >> thanks so much, rick. >> let's bring in governor huckabee and talk about what's happened this past week regarding president obama. something he said to cbs news about perhaps the biggest mistake of his first term. listen. >> the mistake of my first term, couple of years, was at thinking that this job was just about getting the policy right. an that's important, but, you know, the nature of this office is also to tell a story to the american people that gives a sense of unity

and purpose and on michelle, especially during tough times. >> all right. well, look, i think there is a case to be made. alisyn probably did it well earlier that he didn't sell his policies well enough. but you can make that argument when you are basing your re-election on character attacks on mitt romney. >> well, first of all, i think this is a classic example of one of the greatest maybe displays of utter arrogance i have ever heard as if he got the policy right. frankly he got the policy all wrong. obama care is going to cost three times what we thought. his signature piece of legislation. had to fight it in court. barely got it past only because they called it a tax. he has promised transparency. we haven't received it. he calls executive privilege to cover up documents in fast and furious. we could go all the way through the policies. his economic policies have been disastrous. this idea that well he hadn't told the story right. no, that's not the problem. it's not that he hasn't sold and marketed his program. it's that nobody wants to buy it. >> not just that. listen to the second part of

his sentence because we have talked about this before with you and i think you agreed of the. he said he didn't give the american people a sense of unity and purpose and optimism. that is part of the president's job. wouldn't you agree it has been too divisive. he should have done that? >> >> yeah. >> there is insight there we need to mine a little bit more. >> what he really said was i don't think he really acknowledged that he failed to do that as much. you any, he hasn't given unity. he has given -- >> -- he agreed to that. that's what he is admitting there. >> i think his idea that he hadn't told the story. the story is america is a great country. his story has been i'm a great leader. what's wrong with you guys? >> i don't think he said i failed to bring people together. i think he said i failed to tell them that i brought them together. >> sense of unity and on michelle. >> let's get mitt romney's side of this. mitt romney had this to say in response to president obama. he said that president obama believes that millions of americans have lost their jobs and homes and livelihoods because he failed to tell a god story. being president is not about

telling stories. being president is about leading and president obama has failed to lead. no wonder millions of americans are losing faith in his presidency. >> let's take what critics have said about mitt romney is a failure to create a native. in his campaign. even republicans have said that of mitt romney. he has failed to create a story. >> frankly dave and i were talking earlier. i do believe that the romney campaign needs to push back on this attack on bain capital and i would say t this way. the president is attacking for bain capital he obviously understand capitalism. that's apparent. i wouldn't turn bain capital over him and wouldn't turn the country over to him because he doesn't understand the fundamentals of how to creativity jobs, i do. that's a powerful answer. i think he has missed that opportunity. he ought to hit hard on his business experience and his experience in the nonprofit sector ie the olympics which was incredible success story that mitt romney can tell.

>> you don't hear about the olympics a lot. he has an opportunity also to energize with his v.p. pick. some are again floating your name as a vice presidential pick. >> they are in the hospital for the criminally insane. >> there appears to be two roads. one is play it safe. go with a rob portman or tim pawlenty. other is go with a rubio and chris christie. of course then there is that condoleezza rice camp out there. >> that's not happening. >> that has been shot down in the last 24 hours. where do you think he will go? >> i don't know. the campaign has played it safe so far. >> where should he go? tmpleght depends on what his goal is. if his goal is to have someone who can go out and energize the base and get them rallied up for november. then he has got to go with somebody who can light up the arena when they go to campaign. if his goal is to maintain the focus on romney, and his leadership, and make the vice presidency just simply keep them from being a distraction. in other words, the classic role of the vice president is that of a spare tire.

you are supposed to be kept in the dark, out of the way but all pumped up just in case they need you but hopefully not. >> you bring up a great point. you mentioned the base. they are not going to vote for obama, right? the base, if you are going to pick like a marco rubio. >> how hard are they going to work? are they going to be energized? it's not about voter turn out at some point. it's about voter intensity. what you have got to have is not just saying will you vote for mitt romney. will you vote if you have to swim through raging river when it's over its banks? will you go vote and will you pull your neighbors and your families to vote with you? that's intensity. he has got to have that. >> any chance of a woman being named? >> i think there is a chance. i don't know. i'm not going to try to speculate. i don't know what the romney camp is doing in terms of their internal working. one thing i'm competent about in the romney campaign they are very methodical and they're row and business like.

this is almost like a corporate mind set where they will sit down and this will be a thoughtful analysis. not a gut level feeling of wake up one day and having had a bowl of cereal and say i know who it is. >> there is going to be a flow chart. >> they don't swing for the fences, they swing for singles maybe doubles. >> that's what wins football. >> three yards and a cloud of dust that's the way they play it. >> will you stick around with us for another block. >> i guess i could. >> no choice we are keeping you here. governor is going to stick around because we are going to talk about this. finally something the left and the right can agree on. who is happier? conservatives or liberals? guess what? it has to do with sundays. we will explain. >> ice cream sun districtaes, ie so. >> the woman who took the dog in won't give him back. u use yo, you're entered for a chance to win a trip to the olympic gam

>> conservatives or liberals who is happier? according to a pew study, conservative republics are the happiest at 47%. compared to 28% for liberal democrats. >> here to discuss is governor mike huckabee who is very happy with this study. very happy. >> what do you make of this. >> not a advise to me. people who are conservatives tend to be faith-based and people who believe in god. therefore they believe that this life we are living is not the only one. that there is something else. no matter how bad things get, it's going to turn out. in 100 years from now. it's not going to matter that much. i think it gives you a perspective that changes the way you live your life. and so you say, okay, take your best shot. do your worst damage to me. but 100 years from now, i'm still standing. and that gives you a sense of peace and inner joy that frankly overcomes all the worldly things. do i believe that faith and a belief in god and a confidence that he is out there for eternity is what is the game changer for people. >> here is something strange about the survey which i think is fair to say can stereotype

people is that they found extremeness -- people who feel most extreme are happier than people in the middle of the road. that's weird, right? wouldn't you think they are more angry, people who feel really extreme? >> it depends on what they are extreme about. if they are extremely committed to the idea that there is life beyond and extremely committed to principles, no. that's not a surprise. if they are extremely angry at everything around them, yeah. that's what i see in some people. they can't even laugh at a joke that someone tells if they are on the other side of the political aisle. i feel sorry for people who call themselves, you know, diverse and tolerant they are the most intolerant people i have ever met in my life the people out there on the extremes who just are angry at everybody and everything. >> arthur brooks who wrote about this in the "new york times" says, quote: the occupy wall street protesters may have looked like a miserable mess but in truth they were probably happier than the moderates making fun

of them from the offices above. >> i don't know. i i missed that. i did not see a lot of joy and a lot of euphoria. going back. >> i missed that, too. >> a lot of people in the whole movement of the hippies that were quite happy. of course they everywhere heavily medicated but they -6r7 very very happy. >> high. >> paul mccartney and the beatles show up we didn't realize this is what the movement was really about. also interestingly in this poll was about married and representing just persons. single. take a look at these numbers and get your take on this. 52% of married, religious, politically conservative people are happier compared with 14% of single secular liberal people without kids. >> the thought that someone absolutely loves you and is committed to you as a life partner is a very very affirming thing as a human being. so i think that marriage, not perfect and even there is no such thing as a marriage always as perfect. marriage is the idea that there is somebody who is

absolutely unconditionally submitted to loving me and that i'm absolutely committed to loving them. that is a wholesome thing for a human being. we all need that and whether it's marriage, you know, i think it also translates, get a good dog, that, too helps. because a dog is the closest thing to unconditional love. the dog always will.

>> welcome back, remember the old saying finders keepers, losers weepers. next guest saying that's not fair. he lost higg dog chase last year. luckily chase was found by another family. now that family is refusing to give him back. chase's original owner sam hampton joyce joins us now. nice to see you, sam, welcome to the show. >> thank you for having me. >> so, take me through what happened back when you

actually lost the dog to begin with. >> when chase had gone missing it was an early sunday afternoon. i was out on a job where he couldn't actually come with me or normally he would have been with me. and he was basically led out to use the bathroom and hopped the fence and disappeared. i instantly put up ads on craig's list. fliers around the neighborhood. walked around for miles looking for him to not find him at all. >> you didn't give up hope. and then apparently he got a new owner are apparently temporarily. someone took in chase and started to take care of him. how did you discover that he had been taken in and cared for? you lost he might have been lost or killed. >> i figured up he was stolen or ended up dead after all of this. i was at a local drive-thru coffee shop. this lady pulled up right behind me with chis right in the back of her car. pulled up behind me in the drive-thru.

what did you say or do. >> when i recognized chase i instantly put the ebrake on. end up and started of asking her questions and asked her if she tried any attempts to try and then i instantly started showing her chase's abilities to jump and do all these other tricks that we taught him as a pup. then we ended up having to move from the drive-thru because it was very busy as it was mother's day. the mother met me next door at the dairy queen. >> you say you said that chase actually recognized you ran right up to you and started licking you when you called his name. >> as soon as i walked up to the car i started calling his name he jumped right out of the car right out of her window right into high arms. >> i'm sure everything is fine, normal, right? you got chase back and happy and reunited with your dog and the lady was kind enough to hand the dog over to you. >> no, that is not the case at all. i have yet to be reunited with my dog. throughout the past through months of trying to get the portland police to do

something about retrieving my property under under oregon law that's what it is, property. nothing has happened. yeah, it's become this huge ordeal and now i'm being sued by this lady. >> her name is jordan biggs. we reached out to her lawyer they declined to respond. how are you being sued? >> i honestly don't know. i haven't been served with the paper work yet. i did retain an attorney yesterday and yes there is lawsuit against me. >> unbelievable. did you have some sort of identifying information in the dog. >> yes. originally i had him licensed in 2010 because he had gotten out before and he had gotten into custody by the animal services just like i was hoping would have happened this time. he had registration tag that they give you when you pay for your licensing. i took that tag to one of the local stores around here and had them engrave his name on it and phone number underneath the identification number. >> apparently that's not enough right now. well, we appreciate you

joining us this morning. keep us up to date, sam, on your battle with this. we hope you get your dog back, sam. >> all right. i will. >> thanks, sam. >> thank you. >> coming up on the show. the supreme court says it's okay to lie about your military service. coming up a u.s. war veteran says that decision is right on the money. really he? will explain when we come back. hi, i'm phil mickelson.

i've been fortunate to win on golf's biggest stages. but when joint pain and stiffness from psoriatic arthritis hit, even the smallest things became difficult. i finally understood what serious joint pain is like. i talked to my rheumatologist and he prescribed enbrel. enbrel can help relieve pain, stiffness, and stop joint damage. because enbrel, etanercept, suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if, whilen enbrel, you experice persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness.

sort of kicked into high gear this week and president obama talking to cbs news this week and saying that mitt romney's continuing down there narrative that mitt romney as the executor of bain capital is really unqualified to run the economy. take a listen. >> when some people questioned why i would challenge his bain record, the point i've made there, in the past, is is you're ahead of a large private equity firm or hedge fund, your job is to make money, it's not to create jobs, it's to create successful business, it's to make sure to maximize returns for your investment. that's appropriate, that's part of the american, part of the system, but that doesn't necessarily make you qualified to think about the economy as a whole. >> michelle any response to the comments this week? >> let me pick my jaw up off the floor. i'm floored by the audacity of

this man who has overseen near double digit unemployment for most of his tenure, challenging anybody else's job creation record. i think it's a very telling glimpse into the mind of a command and control progressive. you know, this idea that only someone with his extensive training and background to think about the economy as a whole is equipped to deal with the situation that we have now and the dire job figures. and i think that there's a lot of buried false premises and assumptions about what people who work in financial markets and particularly the hedge fund industry and private equity do. i think that it's galling for someone like barack obama with his record to is judge what a successful business is and i think there's an underlying

contempt for the profit motive that drives this economy, that somehow only successful businesses are those that avoid evil things like cost cutting, which of course is what romney is under attack by, by this tape. >> let's be honest, whether you're running, wal-mart, coca-cola, nike, your job is to make money. a by product is creating jobs. my question for the follow-up, does working in the public sector for your entire career, does that qualify you to run the economy? >> bingo, i think the question answers itself. there's a popular contrast and drippings between the difference between romney and his supporters and barack obama and his supporters and that is that the romney types of course are the ones that sign the front of the paycheck and the obama types are the ones who spend the entire life spending the back of them. >> and michelle, ask you about

the next topic, as we all recall, bill clinton reformed, he changed welfare. when he was president, he changed the welfare requirements that actually required recipients to find work or to be working or to look for work. barack obama now wants to apparently make some changes to what bill clinton had changed. what does, how does president obama want to change welfare now? >> yeah, well, let's just go back to 1996. of course, the clinton democrats now claim an enormous amount of credit for those welfare reform measures and they were made under great amount of pressure from fiscal conservatives and the g.o.p. resolution at the time. okay. fine, great. bipartisanship, health, reform much needed that system. fast forward to the obama administration where under very stealthy circumstances they've passed more wavers.

i mean, this is the administrative fiat mo of this very imperial presidency and essentially what they've done is something called section 1115 waiver, and a long time well reform activist called attention to this this week and apparently, a lot of welfare reform activists are very worried that this is going to sabotage the common sense work requirements that have been in place since 1996. >> wore getting waive evers not currently working while receiving this welfare. >> well, it's interesting, what we've seen is food stamps jump dramatically. 22 million dollar increase since 2009 when president obama took office, and that's more than president bush who did increase it in eight

years, a dramatic increase arguably of 18 billion. why the dramatic increase in the past three years? clayton and i discussed this, the qualifications haven't necessarily changed, they're not making it easier, so why are so many more people on welfare today? >> well, i think that this waiver, and those figures are a tactic or explicit admission that all of the massive investments of taxpayer money that the obama administration has put into trying to pump up this ailing economy has failed. and this latest ploy, this latest executive order, which of course is just the latest in a series of these administrative fiats is another expansion of the culture of entitlement and the dependency state that obama's created. >> all right. thank you for waking up early with us and always interesting

to hear your perspective. >> have a great week. >> you too. >> coming up on the show, they invited him and they booed him. >> i'm going to eliminate every nonextensive program i can find, that includes obama care and i'm going to work to-- was that purely political? is the naacp no longer acting like a civil rights orms and lost their bipartisanship? that's next. >> and she has brains and beauty one miss florida usa contestant does not have one thing other contestants have, her eyesight. we'll hear from her coming up. ♪ all she wants to do is dance, dance ♪ it's your teenager's first rsity game.

times, it doesn't matter. it's the reaction from the organization itself. they don't refute or rebut mitt romney on polyand politics, they racialize it. this organization, naacp for black americans what it neshl was, is now a wing of the democrat party and dnc and francly the unelected c.d.c., they're in the business of keeping people in a block as a vote and a sub sis tans class and when you think of the level that have achieved entrepreneurship and different things that have been successful within the community, they actually fight against that and again, i go back to the basics, if after generations, literally, you are in the same position in the same projects and the same socioeconomic scale, what has been the community's return on

investment for their unyielding loyalty to the naacp, the democrats, and the left wing in the country? there has been no return on investment because other groups have outstripped them and rose above them and they're now fighting for the scraps. and there are people who have done well in the black community that have done well, but they've done well because they've embraced the american ideal, not the political, not the dynamic and the narrative that's been pushed. >> you know, many presidents have gone and spoke in front of the naacp convention and some argue that mitt romney went there on purpose to get booed and nancy pelosi says he wanted this to happen and it was politically calculated. first of all a good decision to speak to this group and secondly, did he do this on purpose? he didn't pander to the room. >> he didn't walk in with the old applause sign with the tv show, did he have a boo me sign? that's ridiculous, they want to focus on the silly boos,

that's the silly argument, the among argument. mitt romney went in there and says the same things to any audience, i've been with him, white, black, mixed. and when you go for the government-- if he says the same thing in front of the white audience. >> i've heard the criticism of mitt romney being there, some republicans were disappointed that he didn't say anything, that these were typical republicans talking. >> don't do the hillary cade dance. don't do the-- >> the calls to my show the next three hours after he spoke said he had a good moment because he went in there and spoke to them on policy. and i think it was a fine moment for mitt romney because he went in there and stated what he's about, what he believes will help fix the country and he backed it up with policy. >> he didn't pander. >> he didn't pander or preach,

>> well, after all the uproar over team usa's uniforms being made in china, ralph loren is changing his tunes. 2014 winter games will be made here in america, but our next guest says there's time to make this year's uniforms here in the u.s. david peck a however based manufacturer who makes his fashion line and clothing in the good old usa. >> good morning, how are you. >> alisyn: we're doing well. did these team usa outfits have to be made in china? >> no, not at all. >> alisyn: why not? >> it's definitely -- it's that we have a capacity here in america to make them. i know there's always issues in terms of costing, trying to get a better price and i completely understand that, but we have the capeabilities

to produce them here in the u.s. >> alisyn: in order to price down. i mean, you raised this point and i want to see what the price differential would be. did ralph loren in order to keep costs down have to go to china? is there any way for us here in the u.s. to do what you do and manufacture nice clothing and make them inexpensive? >> i think we can definitely do that. i mean, we do have higher costs in the u.s. in general, but we can produce really high quality, and i think that's something that americans have sort of let lapse is that we don't look for the same quality in our clothes, and so, we go more for price and value rather than longevity. >> to produce those berets that you see that ralph loren has produced and the jackets, maybe we could put up a picture right now, the outfit that they have produced, how much would it cost, cost roughly? >> well, it depends on where you're manufacturing them.

if you're manufacturing them in new york city it might be more expensive. if you go to somewhere regional like where we are based in houston, you can definitely drive down the costs. you know, all of those depend on different factors, it's the type of material, it's the labor that goes into it. about you you can definitely work with a manufacturer in order to get a price that works for your budget. >> alisyn: let me tell you the statement, let me read it to you. about all of this hullabaloo. ralph loren plans to leave the conversation within our industry and government to address the issue to increase manufacturing in the united states. we have committed to producing and opening-- at the opening and closing ceremony team usa uniforms in the united states, it will be worn for the 2014 olympic games, they say they can't do it now in next two weeks. but for 2014. can your company produce the uniforms needed for the olympics in the next two

weeks? >> i mean, that's a difficult question, i don't know the quantities that they're talking about, but i'm sure that my company and a number of other companies throughout the u.s. who specialize, especially in men's tailoring would be able to do it. it may be a little bit too late at this point for the olympic team to have completely new uniforms made and it's probably just a little bit of a waste. i think what we should focus on now, actually is the opportunity to talk about the method of manufacturing and the opportunities that week create here in america and i think it's admirable of ralph loren to think about this going forward and have committed already to doing the 2014 games here in america. >> alisyn: and you're right. it is good to have this conversation about this, how little is produced in the united states and how we can change that. so, david peck, if your phone rings and it's the ralph loren people, i hope you'll give it a shot and produce the uniforms here, but thank you

for coming on and explaining how your manufacturing works. >> oh, thank you, i'd be happy to work with him as well as talking to you. >> alisyn: excellent. maybe we could make that happen. coming up, the supreme court says it's okay to lie about your military service, coming up we have a u.s. war veteran that says that decision is right on the money. really? he'll explain. they're big stars now, what did bill o'reilly, sean hannity and greta van susteren do before they were famous? their virs job are revealed. can you guess which one scooped ice cream. she has brains and beauty, but one miss florida usa contestant doesn't have one thing that the other contestants have, her eyesight. we'll hear from her next. ♪ almost tastes like one of jack's cereals.

>> well, the city of san bernardino, the third california city to declare bankruptcy, here is how broke her, they're all the same person, mayor, city council-- >> and he always makes for good fun. >> alisyn: big time. >> dave: welcome back. >> clayton: yeah, welcome back to "fox & friends" on a saturday morning and thanks for waking up to us, ali has

headlines for us. >> alisyn: sort of. i have something like that, information, now the supreme court ruled in favor of president obama's health care laws, governors from several states are focusing on medicaid expansion and may do more harm than good. peter doocy has more from the meeting in virginia. >> reporter: a virginia town that shows what life was like in colonial times before medicaid. before it was dominating discussions among more than two dozen governors at this weekend's national governor's association meeting here with some saying expanding medicaid in their states might do more harm than good so they might opt out. >> the supreme court has now given us an option. i want to make sure we cover people and have a decent safety net, but not doing it unless you give us vast reforms and implements in our state and guarantee you're going to pay for it.

you've promised 90%, but you're broke, you're 16 trillion in debt. how are you going it pay for it. >> reporter: the government will pay for medicaid expansion for three years and then the states must gradually pick up some of the tab and that scares some governors. i think it's unsustainable not just for wisconsin, but almost every other state, and on top of that, a huge tax increase state by state if we were going to act to the program. >> several think that opting into the medicaid expansion is the right thing to do. >> we obviously don't want to be left holding the bag if the federal government ends up reducing funding, but we believe it makes sense for twar. >> connecticut's governor says that his state is all in and he predicted that every state will opt in and take the federal money, but for political reasons, many will wait until after the election. >> no one is that stupid to

put their state in that kind of disadvantage. >> there will be some more economic health and human services meeting this morning with the governor and after lunch they'll talk about natural resources and homeland security and this evening have dinner at the old governor's palace where thomas jefferson used to leave and back to new york. >> and when i went to williamsburg, virginia as a kid we ate and i wanted a patriot dinner, but i didn't realize they take four hours. >> dave: because it's traditional. >> clayton: might take four hours. >> dave: somebody might want to warn them about that, peter. >> alisyn: thank you, what a beautiful back drop, so lush. let's take a look at the rest of the headlines, a fox news alert. a homicide bombing killed at these 23 people at a wedding in northern afghanistan. the attacker reportedly posed

other inches away leaving the driver unharmed. the condition of the others involved has not been released yet. >> she was crowned miss usa and tonight she will find out if she will take the title of miss florida usa. this contestant has a bigger challenge than most, she's blind. >> 18-year-old done nor boss lost her condition when she was just eight years old and she joined us earlier on "fox & friends" to share her story. >> i really just take things as they come and easy going, as the challenges rises i sit back and find a way to overcome it. and luckily, i've just kept boston and i'm doing what i'm hoping to do, hoping to accomplish. >> well, boss is also a gymnast, cheerleader and president of her senior class. and tune in tomorrow to find out the results of the miss

florida usa pageant and the rest of her story. those are the headlines. >> clayton: and an excuse, i don't have nigh glasses on, i can't see this. and-- >> you're no longer able to do that. >> clayton: no, especially with the next story, what rick is witnesses here, and some of our wounded wearriors enjoying a weekend of fun. what are you doing now, rick, some scuba diving. >> rick: one of the coolest events out here for some of the wounded warriors, and talk to jason wheeler, you were injured in 2002, but you didn't find out about the wounded warriors project until 2008. how did that change for you. >> it changed my life around, getting involved in sports and basically learning about like, to do, to do sports and getting back into life that i can actually do things again and be part of the community and helping out the younger generation, so, they could do things.

>> rick: and yesterday was the first time that you got into the scuba tank? >> yeah, yesterday is the first time i got into the scuba tank and i want to become a certified scuba diver and some day a master and teach the younger guys. >> that was a quick indoctrination of this. we are going to show you some video while we talk to jason-- jeff, adam. and we met about six years ago and raced in the snow skiing event at a wounded warriors event. >> and i was trying to cheat. and do a lesser, knock him over if i can't get him. >> and you beat me. >> it was close. tell me how has the last six years been. you were injured in 2004 and we met probably 2006, another, five, six years passed. >> the leg hasn't grown back yet. but, it's been great. moved on as most veterans do, you get injured, you accept it, move on and go about your life because that's all it is, you keep moving forward.

>> rick: you guys are here as some people who were injured a lot longer ago and a lot of people coming back still toad with more recent injuries. what do you guys do to help the younger guys? >> we know what it looks like, and we were injured in '04 and we had vietnam era veterans helping us out and now we kind of do the same thing, pay it forward and help the new generation and most of the guys and women are from the hospital. >> rick: chris white, tell me about this, you were injured in 2004 and this is still going on. >> they had to relengthen my leg, two inches shorter and they had to break it in three places and stretch it out so to say and add a bone graft to my femur and put it down there and here we are, so-- >> gives an idea, the injuries think it's quick and short-term, but here we are eight yooers later and still facing these challenges and it's these kind of things that

>> welcome back, everybody, a democratic congressional candidate in arkansas dropping out of his race this week after he was caught lying about his military record.

he said he was in the army special forces, but it turns out he failed out of special forces training three times and was honorably discharged in 2010. the supreme court says lying about your military record is not illegal, and in fact, it's protected under your right to free speech. our next guest, a u.s. veteran actually agrees. joining me now from steps for freedom is captain pete. >> thanks for having me. >> alisyn: you agree with the stolen valor act, the supreme court says it's protected by free speech, why do you agree. >> it is because ken aiden has the right to be an i had i don't don'ted-- idiot. content based restrictions on speech it's a high bar in the constitution. i'm a free speech guy, if you want to go out and make an idiot of yourself, you can, but you can't benefit from it

or you can't be elected to the united states congress because of it. there are a lot of people ferreting out frauds, but we can't be criminalizing this action and some guys at a war stool telling war stories. et cetera too broad. the new act put forth, talks about benefitting financially from misrepresenting your service, that's the kind of narrow stolen valor act we should have and i support that. >> dave: and others who attempted to do this, richard blumenthal, attorney general, lied about it or exaggerated. and tim poe, aspiring country singer did the same thing on a reality show. how do you show that someone was attempting to roth from lying about their military service in order to make that act illegal? >> sure, the devil is in the details there. but, hey, someone could say i'm a "fox & friends" host and go out and tell their budies about it that's not illegal,

but if you could get ticked off giving $5,000 speeches or making money financially off saying they're a "fox & friends" host. same thing with military service, if they're benefitting in a financial way from that, that's where the bar should be drawn. you know, but if-- the hard work has been done by bloggers, and there's a website that talks on military topics, they did the heavy lifting to idea that ken aiden hadn't done what he said he'd done and mainstream media picked it up. in this day and age to think you could walk out there and misrepresent your service, you're foolish, they'll get you online and with the new stolen valor act. >> dave: i love that you said he's guilty of being an idiot. thank you for your service for freedom, thank you, sir. folks, do you agree with this? should it be illegal to impersonate or lie about

>> welcome, the unemployment rate 8.2%. many young americans are saying it's impossible to land their first job so we wanted to know where there were first jobs and how they were held by

some of our biggest stars like bill o'reilly, sean hannity, greta van susteren. >> clayton: joining us is the author of "no, they can't", to talk about first jobs. how important are first jobs in building character or anything else? >> that's what i learned with people around here, i learned that most people had lousy jobs, but they all talked about them with pride and how much they learned on that first job about showing up and being responsible. in my case, i worked on an assembly line in evanston, illinois faking photocopy equipment. i hated it, hot and boring and made me go back to school and work hard and make other choices. >> dave: you certainly learned a lot as did bill o'reilly and others here at fox. >> we have some clips about their first jobs. >> i had this job of getting all the coins from the cash register and putting all the

pennies in those paper rolls, it was dreadfully dull and i said i have to have a job that's fascinating and i always wanted to be a lawyer because i knew i'd always be in trouble and i'd never afford a lawyer. >> i was washes dishes, friday, night, saturday, sunday. >> taught me what hard work is and every other job in the restaurant business and moved on to the construction business and somehow i thought, let me try this radio and tv thing. >> my first job at 16 was working at carville ice cream stand out on old country road in wesbury, long island and it taught me to show up on time. and minimum wage, but all the hot fudge sundaes i wanted. good job, i wish i still had it. >> alisyn: i can relate i worked at friendly's, the unlimited ice cream is a good thing for a first job. >> what struck me we went to the welfare office and asked people why don't you take all

of these jobs here here that are offered and we'd gone around and found all of these jobs, no experience necessary available. oh, i can't do that, that's beneath me, i'm a trained medical technician and it's the first jobs they don't pay well, but you do move up, and the laws today discourage that in that the minimum wage says dent hire a kid because you might as well-- you have to pay minimum wage, hire somebody with experience and the obama labor department has issued a warning to employers, if you have unpaid internships which built my career. >> alisyn: mine too. >> dave: mine too. >> clayton: mine too. >> it's only legal if the intern impedes the work. >> alisyn: what does that mean. >> you can't get a benefit from the intern and not pay them. >> clayton: the intern has to be bad? >> i've had interns like that and we parted company.

>> dave: this is brilliant. >> the idea is they're taking a paying job and you're exploiting unpaid labor. the kids don't feel exploited, they tell me, i learned more with you than college, i don't have to pay you, and internships are great. >> alisyn: and the special sounds wonderful, tonight. >> at ten o'clock and this afternoon at three, also. >> clayton: check it out. stossel, 3 and 10 p.m. today. and home depot hiring like 40,000 jobs right now and we hear about the trouble of young kids not getting jobs. >> alisyn: coming up we are going to reveal our first jobs and the incriminating photos from them. >> clayton: mom, why did you have to send the photos in? i can't wait to see dave's. we'll be right back. ♪
