do you agree with that, a buddy moon over a honeymoon? just the two of you? kind of like a bromance. >> i'm not taking a guest other than my wife on the honeymoon. call my old fashioned. >> she's watching right now. >> i'd like to extend the party, personally. i think it should be more than just two. >> why? >> because we are a village. >> funny, too, when people do these destination weddings, their entire families are there. >> that's the wedding. not the honeymoon. >> not the honeymoon. >> all right. have a great show, guys. >> bye! >> "fox & friends" starts right now. >> good morning to you. today is wednesday, july 25th. i'm in for gretchen carlson. this just in overnight. a police chase goes horribly wrong as a suspect heads straight for niagara falls. brand new details from the scene. >> and it looks like democratic senator, one of them spoke a little too soon. >> i think the white house has to understand that some of this

is coming from its ranks. >> whoa! senator feinstein, white house line one. was she pressured by the president to take back and walk back those comments? we're going to examine them. >> has she been cory bookered? and do you know where to sit in a restaurant to escape danger? what about a parking lot and, of course, a theater? we'll learn how to get out alive with survival skills from a navy seal and that will be live because "fox & friends" starts just about now. >> boy. where is grandma? where is grandma? brian kilmeade, captivated by the question, where is michael jackson's mother? and paris and prince's and blanket's grandma. >> if a grandma leaves and doesn't tell the grandkids, that's odd. if the grandkids leave and don't tell the grandmother, that's usually punished.

we'll tell you how anna feels about steve asking me how to stretch his groin. >> i can answer that. >> i don't blame you. it all happened. >> the time now is 6:01 on your wednesday morning. violent scene last night in anaheim, california as hundreds of people rioted for a fourth day following two deadly police shootings. police seen in the video firing rubber bullets to disperse the crowd. she arrested five people after they tried to storm a city council meeting. the street rage began saturday at the scene of a fatal shooting of a 25-year-old described by police as a gang member. he was apparently unarmed. and out to another developing story overnight. a man is dead and a police officer injured after falling into a gorge near niagara falls. this all happening on the canadian side of the falls. the police officer was

reportedly chasing the suspect before both of them fell over a retaining wall. the police officer fell about 100 feet. he's now being treated for a broken leg. right now, it's not clear why the officer was chasing the suspect but witnesses did report hearing gunshots shortly before the two fell into the gorge. the star of "the dark knight rises" trying to lift the spirits of survivors of the movie theater massacre in colorado. christian bale stopping by swedish medical center to meet with some of the patients. he also spoke with staff at the hospital and thanked them for all of their hard work. bale also paying tribute to the 12 people tragically killed attending a makeshift memorial outside the theater. alleged gunman james holmes remains in solitary confinement this morning. prosecutors continuing to build their case against him. we'll have a live report from aurora in the next half-hour. he's known to generations as george jefferson. actor sherman hensley, the patriarch of the ground breaking family "moving on up" in america

has died. >> now, we can't get out of here! >> don't get excited, george. >> who is getting excited? where's it at? >> police say hemsley was discovered by his nurse in el paso, texas. no foul play is suspected there. exact cause of death still unknown. he first played jefferson on "all in the family" before his character was spun off into "the jeffersons". that sitcom ran for 11 seasons from 1975 to 1985. he was 74. >> that was an unbelievable show. >> he was originally archie bunker's next door neighbor. >> they say we could never have an "all in the family" today. >> let's talk about what happened yesterday. we were back to business as usual as both governor romney as

well as president obama went at it in their campaign mode for mitt romney, he had to go to a place the president was the day before. that's to address the vfw at which time he brought senator feinstein and senator feinstein made some headlines. you know she's chairwoman of the intelligence committee and she's been investigating along with many others into the leaks that have evidently come from the white house. everything from the -- >> yeah. everything from the kill list to everything appearing in that -- in that book that came out about our plans including the breakdown of seal operations. >> and here's the thing about these leaks. they do look political because all of them make the president look really, really good. and so keep in mind the white house has said, ok, we're going to have -- we don't need a special council. we're going to have a couple of u.s. attorneys, one from d.c. and one from maryland, they're going to investigate which some say is political. clearly they work for the attorney general that works for the president.

anyway, we'll play you -- we'll give you both the quotation. here first is senator feinstein on monday essentially taking aim at the white house for spilling the political beans, the secret beans. >> i think the white house has to understand that some of this is coming from its ranks. i don't know specifically where. but they're, i think, they have to begin to understand that and do something about it. >> and then up next, she again another statement just yesterday and we have this one for you, too. i did not believe the president leaked classified information. i shouldn't have speculated beyond that because of the fact of the matter is i don't know the source of the leaks. but, you know, this really brings up the issue of transparency as well which is something that the obama administration has promised from day one and if you'll remember, when everything went down with valerie plame, what happened

with then senator obama was he was calling for, you know, a special investigation outside of the bush white house. >> so there you had exactly the way it happened. you had senator feinstein on monday say, you know, looks like the white house is leaking it and then on tuesday say i am so sorry, she had to walk it back. i should not have speculated. >> right. and she made those comments on monday at the world affairs council. when governor romney had to come up with a foreign policy because he's about to go overseas and will not criticize the president and rightly so when he's overseas about foreign policy, he wants to make the problems he has with the president over the last 3 1/2 years and talk about his own foreign policy, one thing he did bring up is senator feinstein's comments. listen. >> it betrays our national interests. it compromises our men and women in the field, whoever provided classified information to the media. seeking political advantage for the administration must be exposed, dismissed, and punished. let me be very clear, these events make the decision we face

in november all the more important. what kind of white house would reveal classified material for political gain? i'll tell you right now, mine will not. >> and the rnc came out yesterday and said essentially that dianne feinstein had been cory bookered. remember cory booker, the mayor of nearby newark, new jersey, a very staunch and prominent democrat who at the height of all the attacks on mitt romney said, you know, you got to stop that. they are nauseating and a couple of days later, sounds like he was called on the phone by the white house and next thing you know, just like dianne feinstein, he's walking it back. >> let's talk about something else that the republicans are jumping all over and governor romney especially. that's the president's comments saying you didn't build that. talking about the obligation that most people who are successful have not done it alone. after all, the nation, the federal government has built the roads, built the bridges and sewer system. we're working this together.

you did not build that. that's an insult according to people like governor romney and many others for entrepreneurs across the country who took tremendous risk putting tremendous hours, had tremendous focus and sacrifice in order to be successful. now president obama knows how bad this is polling. knows how bad these comments are resonating, and tried to straighten it all out but instead, he seems to have doubled down. here's an example. >> we did not build this country all alone. we built it together. if mr. romney doesn't understand that, he doesn't understand what it takes to grow this economy in the 21st century for everybody! >> he said he was taken out of context, too. and all -- but if you actually listen to the speech, it kind of looks even worse if you listen to the whole speech but you get the president's true feelings about what it takes. maybe it's resonating with some people. >> and very often, you know, in a 24-hour news cycle, these types of strong words will cycle out very quickly, not happening with these words and maybe

that's because in his first comments, the president -- those comments didn't over so well. 72% of people think small business owners did build that. >> only 2% according to rasmussen think they don't work as hard. brian, you just brought up those comments. if you're -- you know, and keep in mind, the president has been out there and he's now got a political ad that is up in a number of the swing states where he says, you know, i've been taken out of context. don't believe what mitt romney is saying. all right. here's what the president said that got him into trouble with the republicans. >> if you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. you didn't get there on your own. i'm always struck by people who think wow, it must be because i was so smart. there are a lot of smart people out there. it must be because i worked harder than everybody else. let me tell you something, there are a whole bunch of hard working people out there. if you got a business, you didn't build that.

somebody else made that happen. >> it just -- one thing, where is that coming from? i don't know many cocky people saying i'm brilliant, i'm the best. i think people work hard and understand you need some breaks in this world and the people that haven't gotten the breaks yet are not quitting. they don't believe the american dream has burst and doesn't exist. they believe they're on a path. it hasn't happened yet, perhaps, or happened, you went down and came up again. >> the problem with that soundbite, it plays into a lot of people's suspicions that barack obama is a big government guy and his entire career he never worked really in private business so he doesn't have sympathy for people who are in that. i wouldn't be surprised if ultimately, while the economy is the overriding issue, whether or not this question of where does prosperity come from? does it come from private business or does it come from the government? i think that's one of the real choices people are going to have in november. >> yeah and also, how do you deem success? is success being a billionaire? is it having a great job and working 40 hours a week and having a great family and making

$45,000 a year? i don't understand the context of the comments and why we're always talking about this, the american dream that's impossible to acquire and 72% of the people, that's the poll that went up a short while ago while anna was talking, 72% of the people, people believe that people who start small businesses are likely responsible for the success or failure. >> and a true gift to the romney campaign for sure and what we're starting to see in those other swing states, we're starting to see, you know, all sorts of attack ads using barack obama's words, you know, against him and probably continue to do so for the next few months. >> including for the next guest. one of our guests shortly, senator scott brown. coming up straight ahead next on the rundown, i should say, congressional budget office says obamacare will cost less after the supreme court ruling. that might not actually be a good thing. guess who is paying for, stuart varney is here to explain. he always gets here just in time. >> doesn't look happy about it.

>> there you are. thanks for being with us. 16 minutes after the hour. good news from the congressional budget office, the president's health care law will cost the president less than expected. >> that's good, right? well, there's some bad news. because it's going to cost businesses more and leave millions of americans without any health coverage at all. stuart varney joins us live. stuart, ok, so it's a -- it's a little silver lining there. but then there's some storm clouds. >> that was a neat headline. obama care costs less. >> that's the one that you saw. >> that's right. >> now look to the second line. the second line should read, yeah, obamacare costs less only

if you use less of it. this congressional budget office scoring of the cost of obamacare, report came out late yesterday, it says, look, because of the supreme court decision that says obamacare is ok, it also said states can opt out so the cbo says well, some states will opt out. they will not offer obamacare. therefore, less obamacare will be offered. therefore, obamacare will cost $84 billion less but it will still, therefore, leave three million people uninsured. what you've got here is an absolute mess of 15% of the american economy, we don't know what's going on with it. >> part of the fine print as well in this particular cbo report is that business owners are going to wind up paying $4 billion more in penalties or taxes and individuals are probably going to pay about $1 or $1.5 billion more in taxes

and penalties. >> when we started discussing health care reform, the primary objective was to get the cost of health care delivery down. >> that's how it was sold. >> that was how it was sold. that's what we needed to do. we have not done that. obamacare raises the cost of health care, the exact opposite of what it was intended to do. >> the other headline on this, too, is there is a woman who is part of the cbo that is actually an obama supporter? >> "the daily caller" dug this up. "the daily caller" says melinda buntin, the lady that did the calculation for this cbo scoring, she is the deputy assistant director of the cbo's health service department since last year, ok? she's a huge obama supporter. she helped write part of obamacare. she gave $26,000 to the obama campaign and democrats in 2008. >> so the cbo is supposed to be nonpolitical. >> precisely. it is the rules of the cbo that you are prohibited from parties and political activities. but this lady who wrote this

scoring that was released yesterday afternoon, she's fully involved with president obama with his campaign and obamacare. >> right, delivering a speech in 2008, even being dubbed an obama spokesperson and visiting the white house, according to "the daily caller" eight times between 2009 and 2010. >> bottom line here is you have a conflict of interest in the scoring, the costing out of obamacare. we don't know what's going to happen with obamacare and that's 15% of america's economy. what a mess! >> what a mess indeed. all right. stuart varney, we hope you tidy things up three hours from now, he'll be on fox business presiding over that big plastic desk. >> and i'll calm down, too. >> thank you very much. >> thank you, stuart. >> 19 minutes after the hour. coming up here on "fox & friends", the same city that banned happy meals now wants to make it easier for people to watch porn at the public library? you won't believe this one. >> i don't believe it now. and both president obama and

mitt romney spoke to the same group of veterans this week. who gets the military vote? two army vets from that audience here next with brian. according to ford, the works fuel saver package could literally pay for itself. jim twitchel is this true? yes it's true. how is this possible? proper tire inflation, by using proper grades of oil, your car runs more efficiently, saves gas. you could be doing this right now? yes i could, mike. i'm slowing you down? yes you are. my bad. the works fuel saver package. just $29.95 or less after rebate. only at your ford dealer. so, to sum up, you take care of that, you take care of these, you save a bunch of this. that works.

soduko, correct? >> that's close. >> i'm retired major. >> i thought so. the card's right. so major, first to you. you listen to both. what did you think of the president? >> i thought the president, you know, did a good job. he talked about, you know, veterans' issues. there was a veterans' issue speech and, you know, i think he addressed, you know, the things that he's done for veterans over the last four years. >> right. now, on the other side, sharon, what did you think of the president's address? >> i thought it was very genuine and yes, again, he spoke directly about things, veterans' issues that he has -- he has accomplished. >> ok and back to you, major. the next day, yesterday, in comes the governor. he gives a speech and, you know where he's going to be going, london, poland and then israel. what did you think of his speech? >> yeah, i think what he did was more of a, you know, what he's going to do as far as foreign policy. and , you know, he started off

-- and both candidates started off by talking about the colorado shootings first and then the four veterans, you know, that were killed there and then they both went into, you know, their speeches. and obviously, i think nevada being a battleground state where they were both -- it was kind of ramping back up, you know, the campaigns and i think, you know, governor romney, talked about foreign policy and what he would do. >> and in the end, when you looked at both speeches back to back, major, who would you vote for if the voting -- if today was time to go to the ballot box? >> well, i think, you know, whoever you were going to vote for, you would probably still vote for. i think they both did what they came in to accomplish and whichever side you were on and i think with the veterans of foreign war, you know, i don't know if there's a whole lot of undecideds in that room but, you know, i think they both accomplished what they wanted to and whichever direction you were going to go, you were probably still going to go. >> you felt like governor was

playing politics, more of a pep rally. >> i felt like he was doing a pep rally and being a big cheerleader. i don't feel that he addressed anything specific in regards to the veterans. just about how this is going to be the american century and all that kind of stuff like he was at a football game. i was not impressed. >> all right. so you're likely going to stick with the president, i imagine? >> i -- you know, it's very difficult because i initially did not vote for president obama. but i -- i wanted to see them both because i wanted to see them straight on and up close and personal. and i just feel -- i have a greater trust for obama than i do for romney. >> right and one thing that mitt romney makes clear is he feels as though the president has not treated our allies very well, especially israel. we know the military vote went

heavily for senator mccain last time and mitt romney now leads that but trails in foreign policy when it comes to those issues. major and sergeant, thanks so much for your service and thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> thank you very much for the opportunity. >> no problem. meanwhile, coming up straight ahead on this show, scenes like this make you wonder what would you do? could you escape from theaters to restaurants to parking lots if you're indeed under attack? we'll show you how to survive an attack with advice straight from a navy seal. and a bridge collapses setting it plunging into raging waters below. we'll share it. first, happy birthday to matt leblanc, i should say, he's 45 and he has another series on television and this one, he gets to curse a lot. it's on cable.

hero in the batman movie, he came to visit victims of friday's shooting. christian bale made a surprise visit to the hospitals. he also stopped by the ever-growing makeshift memorial across the street from the theater. and there is new life that has arrived as one family copes with this tragedy. hugo jackson nedley was born at 7:11 mountain time yesterday morning at the university of colorado hospital where there are eight victims. five in critical including his father caleb medley. caleb, an aspiring comedian is in a medically induced coma. he and his wife katie went to see the batman movie as a last date before the baby was born. here's caleb's brother. >> we're all looking forward to this. we were all excited about this. and it is -- it is a silver lining to a very dark cloud. we know caleb. we know he's a fighter and we know he's not going to stay out of that child's life for any length of time. if he can avoid it.

>> the baby's mother katie, however, is doing fine. so that is also some good news. on a separate note, we do know that james holmes will be facing the formal charges on monday. however, we did learn, guys, yesterday that cameras will not be allowed in the courtroom for that court date. back to you. >> interesting. all right, alicia, thank you very much. we should point out christian bale, the movie star went there on his own. not part as warner brothers p.r. push or anything like that. there was a move on line with social media that was trying to get him to show up in aurora in his costume but he showed up yesterday. >> is it just amazing, too, we're finding out how much money he spent on this stuff and could have come from the federal government when he gets $26,000 for the school, ektd have used some of that money. >> holmes. >> to buy his own ammo. i'm talking about james holmes. >> 6:35 is the time on a wednesday and now to your headlines. more troubling evidence that al-qaida and other islamic extremists are trying to hijack the syrian revolution amid the ongoing violence in that region.

masked gunmen posing with al-qaida flags posting a video on line where they say they are forming suicide cells. there has been a surge in suicide attacks against the regime of syria's president al-assad. the u.s. very concerned about the developments. iraq which is next to syria also alarmed. >> meanwhile, tensions bubbling over at a hearing on new york city's proposal to limit the size of sugary drinks. critics calling on it as an attack on business as well as a huge overstep by the government. what do you think? >> violent crime continues to grow in this city and more new york city police officers have been shot than any time in the last decade. rather than hire 6,000 cops, we are down since 9/11 or nearly 1,000 firefighters that were down, we're going to spend money to enforce a legally dubious rule and promulgate the size of the cup of soda. since when is this the province

of government? >> yep, that's what the mayor here in new york wants. proponents of the soda ban say it will curb obesity, especially as a new gallup poll shows 48% of americans drink soda every day. the manhattan board of health will vote on the ban in september. but the city's mayor, michael bloomberg not stopping there. new reports show he's going after -- it's true -- alcoholic beverages next. thanks a lot, mayor bloomberg! >> 6:37 is the time now. the san francisco library making it easier to watch pornography in public? they're testing out these privacy screens to keep people's computer habits from offending others. but some say watching the offensive material shouldn't be allowed. >> it seems kind of messed up, people doing that kind of stuff in a public environment. >> even with those -- those protector screens, people walking directly behind somebody can still see pornography. i mean, porn in the library,

there's no place for that. >> thanks. >> the library says the screens are an alternative to filtering internet access. >> meanwhile, you've got to see this dramatic rescue out of china. a driver plunging 35 feet into a ranging river after torrential rains caused the bridge he was driving on to collapse. rising water and rushing mud trapping him in his car. that's until a rescue worker repelled down, freed the guy and brought him to safety. the man had several fractured bones and injuries to the head. he is expected to make a full recovery. isn't that amazing? this is the worst flooding that china has seen in 60 years. nearly 40 people have died so far. >> all right. we'll hand it over to brian here with a friend this morning. grace the intern. what's up? >> yeah, grace has to say good-bye to us. it's not a suspension. she's just done. you have to go back to school. >> i do. it's time to go back. >> you have chosen. you could have chosen weather and been with steve shoulder to shoulder standing up at the

>> welcome back, everyone. quick headlines and over to steve. for the first time we're seeing chilling video of an attack in san diego. grabbing a trainer by the foot and dragging him under water for 15 minutes. incredibly, the trainer escaped with a broken foot.

the video coming out over a lawsuit against sea world and death of another trainer who was killed by a killer whale at sea world in 2010. they forgot to put the u-n in unemployment. the latest jobs bill called for a freeze of regulations until the unemployment was at 6%. that means 94% would be out of a job. they plan to correct the error by unanimous consent. steve? >> oops. thanks, brian. the obama administration now looking the other way on a welfare reform law signed by president clinton. that would require anyone who collected a government check, welfare, to also get a job. but now, welfare is easier than ever to collect under this president. you're even qualified by doing chores. it's true. our next guest wrote the work provisions in the 1996 welfare reform act, the ones that the obama administration plans to waive. robert rector with the heritage foundation joins us from d.c. with his reaction. good morning to you, robert.

>> good morning. >> first of all, what the obama administration is trying to do with welfare, saying -- we've got a list of activitys that they say would qualify as work. they say you could be getting bed rest and doing some motivational reading and getting a massage, writing in your journal, stopping smoking, losing weight, doing a pta meeting or helping somebody with chores. that's what it's come to. but this, what the administration is doing, robert is illegal. >> it's clearly illegal. the core of the 1996 welfare reform act was to say that at least a portion of the beneficiaries of the program, temporary assistance to needy families would be required to work or prepare for work as a condition for getting aid. about 85% of the american public agrees with that and when we put those requirements in effect, the case load actually dropped by 70% within a few years and

employment surged. but the left voted against welfare reform. obama is the president of the left. they've tried to do away with these work standards for 15 years and now they've used a clearly illegal trick to just wipe them out. they said we're going to waive these requirements. well, the law says no, you absolutely can't waive these requirements. they're the core of the whole bill. they're the core of the whole principle of welfare reform. but the left doesn't like them. the left doesn't believe that recipients really should be required to do anything and that welfare bureaucracies in the states which are not really dynamic agencies of change, they agree. they would prefer to just mail checks, the obama administration is saying yes, let's go back to mailing out checks. >> that's crazy. you just mentioned that poll. and let's put it up. 83% of americans say that people should work if they're going to wind up getting some welfare money. now, the way bill clinton was able to pass this was he was able to work with a lot of republicans to get it through

both chambers of the house. why is it, robert, that so many on the left say, you know what? if you're on welfare, you shouldn't have to work at all. why is that? >> they -- they believe that welfare recipients are the victims of social injustice, the victims of racism and that really requiring them to step up and contribute to their own lives particularly forcing them to do that is really adding insult to injury. it's abusing the victim. and in reality, that's not true. the recipient gains a lot by saying look, we're going to help you but we're going to expect you to take positive steps to improve your own life. everybody gains from that. the taxpayer and the recipient. but the obama administration, obama's clear goal is to redistribute the wealth and build a larger government. work requirements are an impediment to that because they keep case loads low. >> the one person we haven't heard from on this, bill clinton.

this was one of his signature initiatives and you got to figure he's up in chappaqua right now eating his toast and drinking some orange juice going what are they doing? >> bill clinton won the white house on the issue of ending welfare as we know it. the core to ending welfare as we know it was to require welfare recipients to work or prepare for work. the left never wanted this policy. but again, the left understands 85% of the public is against them so they have to flimflam. they have to wrap up their anti-work strategy and their pro work rhetoric and things like that and it's a shame. the reality is that we're spending close to $1 trillion this year assisting poor people through 80 different food programs, cash, food, housing, medical care. of those 80 programs, only three had work requirements and now it's down to two. >> it is indeed. you say it's illegal. robert rector from the heritage foundation. thank you very much for getting up on this wednesday. >> thank you.

>> 6:53 on a wednesday morning. great to be with you here on "fox & friends." well, 12 people lost their lives in the senseless attack on moviegoers in aurora, colorado, so if you were caught in a similar situation, what can you do to increase your chances of

survival? brayden webb is a retired navy seal and author of "the red circle". good morning to you. >> hello. >> we have a diagram of a movie theater and we'd like for you to kind of describe, you know, everything that happened and where we ought to try to sit. >> sure. >> take a look right here? >> so, you know, i think the biggest thing is it's really hard to choose your seat in this type of situation, it's extremely hard. like trying to pick a seat on a commercial airline flight. so the biggest thing for people out there is just to be aware like really more aware of their surroundings in the situation and then understand the difference between cover and concealment. the difference between that is, you know, concealment, you can hide behind a chair that doesn't necessarily have ballistic protection and not going to stop the bullets so you need to think of the difference of concealment cover would be a situation where you get behind maybe a few seats

or a concrete barrier in that case so you just understand the difference of what's going to stop a bullet and what's not going to stop a bullet. >> right, as the gunman comes in, we notice here he comes up to the side and he notices people -- people doing what? >> well, i'm sure like a lot of people these days, they're walking down the street, you know, a lot of people are just consumed in their smartphone or, you know, not very aware of their surroundings. and i mean, this guy comes in. he apparently fired shots into the ceiling. and threw some type of homemade smoke device. but the biggest thing that i want to pass on and not have -- i don't want to have these people in colorado die in vain, you know. >> we don't want anybody to be worried about going to the movie theater either. be aware of your surroundings. that's your first tip. >> yeah, the biggest tip in these active shooter situations that are unfortunately happening

more frequently, you have to think self-rescue. the first responders, like if you've ever down loaded one, it takes 15 minutes and sometimes even hours for these guys to show up. you have to think self-rescue and get yourself out of the situation. >> you're somebody who you still combat park. you back into parking places and eat with your back against the wall. something that you do. another tip that you have, though, is you say you need to have a self-rescue mentality. what does that mean? >> that means you need to -- often times in these situations, people get frozen and paralyzed and they close their eyes and think the situation will go away or somebody will rescue them. it takes seconds to get out of that movie theater. you have to think and pull yourself out of that situation and think i need to get out of here. >> this suspect is 160 pounds and didn't have any formal training. what is the one thing that you should think about. you've got 20 seconds. >> i talk about a good tactical flashlight. this one in particular is a sure fire.

i carry this everywhere with me. on the plane, it will blind somebody in broad daylight and you can see the difference between, you know, flashlight, an ordinary flashlight like this. >> thank you so much for your time today. more "fox & friends" on the way. to being a different kind of communications company by continuing to help you do more and focus on the things that matter to you. mornings are a special time for the two of you...) and now you can make them even more special... with new fancy feast mornings. mornings are delicious protein rich entrées... with garden veggies and egg. each one perfectly designed... to start her day with a little love. new fancy feast mornings gourmet cat food. the best ingredient is love.

a little bit. >> what kind of dancing, out of curiousity? jitterbug? >> not the kind of dancing that i would want anybody to see. >> really? do you do the hustle? >> some booty shaking. >> booty shaking? now, you're saying my song. >> maybe in the afternoon show. >> i know it's for the afternoon show show. only time the after the show show outrates the regular broadcast. >> oh, great. now i'm embarrassed. let's get right to your headline for you. a violent scene in anaheim, california as hundreds of people rioted for a fourth day following two deadly police shootings. police seen here firing rubber bullets to disperse the crowd. they arrested at least five people after they tried to storm a city council meeting. the street rage began on saturday at the scene of a fatal shooting of a 25-year-old described by police as a gang member. he was apparently unarmed. and it's a new mother's worst

nightmare. just hours after giving birth, a philadelphia mother says nurse at pennsylvania hospital handed her the wrong baby! >> anything could have happened. and i don't want somewhere down the line in the future, something popping up with my child. >> literally cried, you know, and of course, my daughter was hysterical, too, because she was panicking, where's my baby? >> i guess so. unbelievable. shanice said it took the hospital at least 30 minutes to fix the mix-up. officials there claimed her baby girl was in the nursery the entire time. president barack obama's controversial new immigration plan could cost taxpayers over $585 million. his plan lets many young, illegal immigrants stay in the united states and apply for work permits. hundreds of new federal employees would need to be hired to process over one million permit requests. there will be fees but not enough to make up all the costs. house judiciary committee chairman lamar smith outraged

saying american taxpayers should not be forced to bail out illegal immigrants and president obama's fiscally irresponsible policies and sherman hemsley, actor most famously known as george jefferson has passed away. >> now, we can't get out of here! >> don't get excited, george. >> who is getting excited? wouise! >> many of you probably remember that episode. police say he was discovered by his nurse at his home in el paso, texas. no foul play is expected but the exact cause of death is still unknown. hemsley first played jefferson in "all in the family" before it was spun off into "the jeffersons". it ran 11 seasons. hemsley was 74 years old. those are your headlines. >> he passed away, great actor. he took to his grave the reason

that we wrote that. >> we knew why we got a different darren in bewitched. >> because of contract? >> he left -- where's chris? >> why did darren leave? >> dick york, dick sergeant? >> yeah. couldn't do the role and then he left, wound up leaving but that's different than the two lionels. >> do you know why we switched lionels? >> no, we don't know. >> really? ok. >> welcome back to tv trivia. >> i remember sanford & son, they kept the same fred -- redd foxx's son stayed the same. that was something that i could always count on. >> let's talk about something that we'll talk about today. we've talked about how come some of america's biggest newspapers like "the new york times" and "the washington post," how did they wind up with all these national security secrets? >> what about the book? >> exactly. >> the book like david sanger was key. >> all of these secrets winding

up in the press. and they do look, these leaks do look political because so many of them, all of them, in fact, make the president look good whether it's the virus that we injected into the nuclear reactor -- into the nuclear spinners over in iran or the kill list or the drone strike or the navy seals strike on bin laden. will dianne feinstein who heads up the senate intelligence committee on monday, you know, she knows a lot of stuff. she took aim at the white house. said they're the ones leaking. listen. >> i think the white house has to understand that some of this is coming from its ranks. i don't know specifically where. but they're, i think, they have to begin to understand that. and do something about it. >> when she came forward and she said yeah, i think there's leaks that are very disturbing and these are unprecedented, that's when the administration said my

goodness, it's not a partisan attack. when she came forward again and answered the question at the world affairs council on monday, that became huge news and certainly raised the eyebrows of the republican party. >> and in this statement, this is what she had to say. she said i stated that i did not believe the president leaked classified information. i shouldn't have speculated beyond that because the fact of the matter is i don't know the source of the leaks. so, you know, there's obviously some speculation out there that the white house has put some pressure on her and that could be one of the reasons why she has come out. >> do you think? in fact, the r.n.c. said it looks like she wound up getting cory bookered. cory booker, of course, the mayor of newark, new jersey who came out a month or two ago and said, you know, he's a democrat. he said hey, white house, these attacks on mitt romney's days at bain, that's nauseating. he doesn't like it. well, mitt romney sees the fact that these national security leaks are bad for the country and he addressed them yesterday

in front of the vfw. listen. >> it betrays our national interest. it compromises our men and women in the field, whoever provided classified information to the media seeking political advantage for the administration must be exposed, dismissed, and punished. let me be very clear. these events make the decision we face in november all the more important. what kind of white house would reveal classified material for political gain? i'll tell you right now, mine will not. >> there has been some pushback, too, i saw senator lindsay graham, of course, a republican from south carolina on the record last night with greta van susteren. he along with senator john mccain, among others, are asking the justice department instead to have a special investigation rather than people who are hand picked by the attorney general. >> yeah. so they're not happy with the investigations, senator feinstein is somebody who is

seen a lot in her day and she's really disturbed by what's happening. does not say the president knew about it. but does say it's coming from the white house -- from the executive branch. meanwhile, the president of the united states got himself a little bit of trouble. at least politically when he came out and said what a lot of people think he really believes and that is that it -- that it takes a community and then if people are successful, it's not because it's about them. they didn't build that company. they didn't take their chances. after all, he says people built the roads and they built the sewers and they put up the streetlights. so they didn't do it alone. and things got to get equal in this country. so that really was a major problem for the administration and gave mitt romney an opportunity to get back on the offensesive. so the president with a major speech yesterday decides to clarify those remarks. did he? listen. >> we did not build this country on our own. we built it together. and if mr. romney doesn't understand that, then he doesn't understand what it takes to grow this economy in the 21st century. for everybody.

>> so the tact he's taking is we're all in this together and he's also got an ad up right now where he says, you know, they're taking me out of context regarding what he said with the -- you didn't build that comment in roanoke. but brian, you made the assessment yesterday and i've heard this on talk radio, oh, yeah, you do talk radio show. that when you look at the president's comments in roanoke about a week and a half ago, he wasn't taken out of context and the comments are actually much worse when you look at them. >> first time i had a reaction shot to your comments so you actually saw me listening to you. >> fascinating. >> i was repeating what you would say. >> i thought you were going to segue to my lemonade story when entrepreneurs went out on their own. that's where i thought you were going. we were talking about -- it's an insult to entrepreneurs everywhere and that's essentially what's going on here so the president decides to double down on it. so let's look at why he feels he has to clarify those remarks. look at the rasmussen poll, anna.

>> yeah, 72%, they do value it. are small business owners responsible for the success or failure of their small businesses? 72% say yes. 13% no and 15% are not sure. >> was the president taken out of context? are his comments being manipulated for political gain? well, let's listen to more of them together. >> you've been successful. you didn't get there on your own. you didn't get there on your own! i'm always struck by people who think well, it must be because i was so smart. there are a lot of smart people out there. it must be because i worked harder than everybody else. let me tell you something, there's a whole bunch of hard working people out there. if you have a business, you didn't build that. somebody else made that happen. >> so the deli owner working 75 hours a week took out a loan from the bank in order to make ends meet and sacrificing all their personal time, just so you know, you didn't do anything. >> right. >> you didn't build that. >> and continue to tax the

wealthy who are small business owners and very often are, you know, the economic engine for the united states. what ends up happening, they're bringing home less money so they're not going to create jobs. they may cut jobs or lower the wages of their current employees. >> well, we'll keep you up to date on that and so much more. meanwhile, it's 7:12 in new york city. coming up, a frantic 911 call. listen. >> what appears to be a giant mountain lion lying on somebody's patio table. >> that would get my attention. not everything -- >> great! >> everything is not as it seems. how this woman learned that the hard way. >> i wouldn't even need the word giant. the word mountain lion would be enough for me and then re-elect me and i'll visit israel. promise. president obama promising to take a trip to the holy land if he's re-elected. where has he been for 3 1/2 years? house majority leader eric cantor will be here. i know that for sure next.

>> some experts say that president obama's campaign may come down to the jewish voters in florida. that's what they're saying. his whole campaign may come down to the jewish voters in florida which explains why today obama announced his new running mate, barbra streisand.

the president for his relations with israel. presidential candidate is headed to the holy land later this week as part of his overseas trip. meanwhile, the obama re-election team says the current president will visit israel for the first time as soon as he is re-elected! huh? joining us right now with his reaction is house majority leader eric cantor. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning, steve. >> mitt romney said his first trip as president would be to israel. the president of the united states' people now say the president's first trip to israel would be the minute he's re-elected. what's going on there? >> first of all, i'd say it's about time on the president's behalf. but really, it's about 3 1/2 years too late as brian said earlier, you know, there's been a real cloud, i think, put out by the white house over the relationship that this president has with israel. i think very much in contrast to the bipartisan relationship that capitol hill holds for the u.s.-israel relationship. but it's very clear that mitt

romney is going to israel to u.k., to poland, to visit allies of ours who stand with us in times of challenge. and frankly, i think that what -- what he'll see over there and here is our government that are very wary of the direction of america's leadership. i mean, steve, i've been there in the region lately and i hear from arab governments as well as the israelis questioning where is america in terms of our leadership? >> yeah, but where is our president? why hasn't he visited? i mean, they are -- israel is our closest ally in the middle east. and the president, when you look at the jewish vote, he's got some problems there compared to where he was about four years ago. right now he stands at 64% vs. 74% so he slid about 10%. one other thing that mitt romney accused the president of yesterday at the v.f.w. was he was fond of lecturing israel's leaders.

>> well, there's no question that we have seen again repeatedly that kind of reaction from the white house towards israelis and their government and, you know, they don't need lecturing. i think what an ally like that needs is american leadership. and i know that mitt romney is going to take this trip abroad to listen, to learn and really, i think, to underscore the american posture which the best strategy for peace is through a secure and strong america that . let's switch gears for just a second and take a look at our top talking points this morning that we've been talking about and that is that senator feinstein from california who heads up in the senate the intel committee on monday, she said regarding these national security leaks, it looks to her like they're coming from the white house. that was monday. then on tuesday, she walked it back and said, yeah, i shouldn't have been speculating. what happened? the r.n.c. says she was cory bookered. what do you think? >> you know, senator feinstein

has always been a very upstanding individual who has led on many issues on her state of california and in the intelligence arena and i think that she reacted initially in the way that her abilities and capabilities saw. i mean, she saw some indication to think that there was some politicalization of things that the white house knew of political gain. there was an issue raised there and a repeated pattern that we have seen as you suggest with cory booker and others when the administration sees individuals that disagreed with it and them, they go hard out at trying to beat folks back to submission as to not have anybody out of line and i think that speaks, i think, a lot to, perhaps, a lack of confidence that exists there. >> who knows? eric cantor who is the house majority leader. sir, thank you very much for joining us today. >> steve, thanks. you bet. >> all right, next up on the

>> 7:24 is the time now. james holmes, the man arrested for colorado's tragic movie massacre in solitary confinement this morning as investigators collecting more evidence to build their case against him. alicia acuna is live in aurora, colorado with the latest details on the case. good morning. >> hi, good morning, anna and there are reports this morning that james holmes as he does sit in solitary confinement at the arapahoe county detention

facility is spitting at guards as they walk by and therefore, is being forced to wear a face mask at times because of it. as for the investigation, the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms had its agents at the theater again as did the f.b.i. the company that owns it, cinemark holdings has not commented on what it plans to do with the theaters. specifically theaters eight and nine that were impacted. additionally, we saw seven to 10 officials head back into james holmes' apartment building. they wore protective booties as they headed in. the folks who live there still cannot return and in all of this, new life. hugo jackson medley was born yesterday morning to a mother inside the theater at the time of the shooting. the mother was not injured. hugo, born at university of colorado hospital is one floor above where his father, caleb medley lies in critical condition and is in a medically induced coma. caleb's brother seth says the mother katie is exhausted but doing well.

>> she's been a rock through this whole situation. she really has. just steadfast, unwaivering, focused on her husband but also focused on a baby. i don't know how a person could focus like that but she found a way. >> the survivors of friday's shooting got a surprise visitor yesterday. act actor christian bale who plays batman in the movies went to the hospital to spend time with some of the victims and he spent time at the makeshift memorial that is just across the street from the theater. back to you. >> alicia, thank you very much for that report. 7:26 is the time on a wednesday morning and here's steve. >> thank you, anna. many of those victims' families calling for the shooter to face the death penalty. does he qualify? there's a lot to think about here. fox news legal analyst peter johnson jr. has been looking at it. what do you think? >> yeah, he does qualify for the death penalty. there are three people on death row now. one person executed in 1997 in

colorado. couple of years ago, they tried to outlaw the death penalty and lost on that issue. i see there's about six different aggravating factors that could apply to the movie massacre here that would call for the death penalty. the first is that is it an especially heinous or cruel crime? did the defendant intentionally put the lives of others at risk in addition to all the victims? the defendant killed the victims while lying in wait. i think this is this case. the murder took place as persons were being held, chemical weapons and did he intentionally kill more than one person? multiple murders in the attack. so it absolutely does qualify for the death penalty. >> the question is for the death penalty, does the jury have to rule unanimously? >> it does. and the other important thing is even if he's acquitted on not --

even if he's not successful on the insanity plea and then he's convicted of the crime, his emotional state and his ability to know right from wrong will come into the penalty phase of the trial. so the jury for the second time will have an opportunity to consider his mental state at the time of the crime. you know, we hear this discussion, we heard it earlier about trying to find out what the motive was. and so you say well, why do we need the motive? we know what he's alleged to have done. we know what witnesses have said he's done. the motive is important because on the insanity defense, anger or hatred as a motive is excluded from the insanity defense. so if anger or hatred provoked his mental disease or defect, then he cannot take advantage of the insanity defense. so they're combing through records to see what's the basis of any anger at all, if there's a rational anger that caused

these acts to take place on that day? >> "the daily news" here in new york is saying while he looks like a zombie, apparently he's being very polite to the guards. thank you. >> conflicting reports and earlier reports said he was spitting at the guards. >> now, he might be -->> i was talking with dr. ablow before in the green room and he's going to be coming out on something else. he was thinking, well, perhaps there is some medication going on in terms of his status. he doesn't know. but looking at him, it appeared that maybe there is. >> when he was arrested, after the shooting, apparently he was on vicodin. and stuff like that. all right. peter johnson jr., always a pleasure. good to see you. >> if our next story sounds a little fishy, that's because it is. why the expensive fish you're buying may be the cheap stuff in disguise! then a frantic call to 911. >> appears to be a giant mountain lion lying on somebody's patio table.

>> this week, the ncaa hit penn state university with a set of harsh sanctions in response to the jerry sandusky scandal. the ncaa argued that the penalties as opposed to suspending the football program would spare many who had nothing to do with the case. >> suspension of the football program would bring with it significant unintended harm to many who had nothing to do with this case. the sanctions we have crafted are more focused and impactful than that blanket penalty. >> but our next guest says the punishment will not hold school officials accountable and instead area business owners will suffer from the sanctions. bruce fowler should know, he's the owner of two small restaurants near the university and joins us live. bruce, the program lives, the games go on. how are you going to be affected? >> big time. the sanctions are going to be for a long time. so we're going to be affected for several years.

sandusky had embezzled a million dollars and there's a cover-up, it would still be a felony. would it be the same punishment or -- and i'm not trying to down play happenwhat happened there. but the university control is what they are saying is the crux of why they're punishing penn state. >> will you -- >> what does it mean to your restaurants, bruce? >> it means to our restaurants that the business will be down drastically. i'm saying 20%, 25% this year. maybe more next year. >> ok. all right, bruce. hang in there. the owner of two restaurants, 200 yards from penn state. thanks so much for joining us. many of the people suffering because of the scandal there. thanks so much, bruce. >> thank you, brian. have a great day. >> you, too. next on our show, ever find yourself jealous of a good looking friend? maybe even wish they'd get fat?

now to brand-new video. mitt romney just arriving in london for the olympics. it's day one of his six-day trip overseas. that's something president obama did back in 2008 during his campaign as well. so why is the obama campaign being so critical of mr. romney who is repeating what the former senator of illinois did? >> brian: let's ask wendell goler. >> hello, brian. the white house and obama campaign playing sort of good cop, bad cop scenario in which the obama campaign focuses on tearing down mitt romney and the white house focuses on building up the president's achievements. it's the obama campaign that says mr. romney's trip is little more than a photo opportunity in contrast to the president's 2008 trip abroad as a detainee in which he met with u.s. militaries and officials and half a dozen other country, including israeli and palestinian leaders. mr. romney is going to england,

poland and israel. the white house building up the president's policy achievements. it was quoted, he ended the war in afghanistanment he has done more for israel security than any president since harry truman, led international efforts to put the most pressure in history on iran, protected the people of libya a brutal dictator examine helped rebuild our alliances across the globe. romney accused the president of weakness and accused the white house of leaking classified information about the bin laden mission to make mr. obama look good. >> this conduct is contemptible. it betrays our national interest. it compromises our men and women in the field and it demands a full and prompt investigation by a special council with explanation, a consequence. >> the president's aides denied leaking classified information about the bin laden raid, though they have admitted giving

briefings to some reporters. >> steve: all right. wendell goler, north lawn of the white house, thank you. >> brian: you can't possibly match the huge crowd. he's going to be in different countries. senator feinstein made news on monday when she was taking questions at a world affairs event and they said, hey, what about the investigation into the leaks coming from the white house? she said this. >> i think the white house has to understand that some of this is coming from its ranks. i don't know specifically where, but i think they have to begin to understand that and do something about it. >> steve: so what she's saying is these national security leaks that have been on the pages of the "new york times," "washington post," subject of books coming directly from the white house. that's not good for this president who is running for election. that was monday.

on tuesday, she completely walked it back. >> anna: here is a statement. i stated i did not believe the president leaked classified information. i shouldn't have speculated beyond that because the fact of the matter is, i don't know the source of the leaks. some are speculating that there has been some pressure being put on senator feinstein to backtrack on this comment. >> brian: when they were woven into mitt romney's speech, then she said, now i'm in the middle of this campaign. then she walked it back as you just heard, and then people saying, didn't he basically get -- did senator feinstein get cory bookered when he made the statements about bain capital and there was a youtube video saying, the attacks on bains are valid because governor remain knee made it part of his campaign. meanwhile, is it true or not, answer the question, if you talked to eric cantor and did this come up? >> steve: it's true.

you were not only on the curvy couch, but apparently watching the tv show. >> brian: i get cable. >> steve: we talked to eric cantor about the fact that diane feinstein appeared to walk back her comments where she said something that she truly believed on monday and then on tuesday, she said i was wrong for speculating. here is what the house majority leader had to say about this subject less than an hour ago on this show. >> the issue raised there, repeated pattern that we have seen, as you something, with cory booker and others, when the administration sees individuals that disagree with it and them, they go very hard out at trying to beat folks back into submission to not have anyone out of line. >> steve: we should also point out that mitt romney and a letter has called for special counsel and 31 republican senators have written a letter to the attorney general of the united states calling for a special counsel as well. right now the people who are

look into the leaks work for eric holder, who works for the president. does it look political and will their results come out before the election? lot of stuff we don't know. >> anna: senator lindsey graham going on the record last night with greta and talking about some of the parallels, or alluding to it, between valerie years ago and then senator obama, really saying he wanted more transparency and he wanted a special investigation from the bush white house. so it's a little bit different story here three years later. >> brian: leave the cbo alone for a while, they'll come out with figures and talk about how much obamacare will cost. it will cost about or a little bit less than many people thought going in. but the details tell the story about obamacare. i believe it's going to be slightly above in the total number, but the big difference is the supreme court ruling. it will not mandate that states have to expand their medicaid

roles, therefore, costing less. but the down side of that is you're now covering less people, which will cost you more. >> anna: 3 million less. >> steve: exactly right. so that's why it's going to wind up costing $84 billion. that's a lot of change. and that's the headline that you heard yesterday on the main stream media. it's going to cost less. see, we told you it was a good thing. what they don't tell you is 3 million people won't be covered, plus it sounds like it's going to cost business owners about $4 billion more in taxes or penalties, and it's going to cost individuals about a billion or a billion and a half moren taxes and penalties as well. >> anna: another headline you're not really hearing in the main stream need i can't, something coming from the daily caller, reading an article, the person who has been taxed to be part of the cbo, melinda bunson, donated

$26,000 to the democratic party and this is an issue because the cbo is supposed to be nonpartisan. >> steve: sounds like she could be partisan. >> brian: maybe. at least she has $22,000 to spend. straight ahead, in case you didn't get it the first time around, the president now doubling down on his you didn't build those comments. massachusetts senator scott brown heard it, is firing back in his own campaign. he'll be joining us live. >> anna: then forget the bible on the night stand. one hotel plucking it out fort best selling book "50 shades of grey". >> steve: what kind of hotel is that [ bell tolls ]

which i get at home, which looks very familiar, or we have -- he can't hear me. judging by what i'm getting now, we don't have him. >> steve: you want to take a time out? >> brian: i want to take a quick time out and we'll come back and hear each other and talk to each other. next straight ahead, i will tell you, mortgage rates at an all-time low. does this mean now is the right time to refinance? dave ramsey knows a lot about that. he'll be joining us. then the same city that banned happy meals wants to make it easier for people to watch porn at the library. not going to believe this one

>> brian: back with senator brown and we are sorry about the mess up with the satellite before. we're set now. he is pushing back against president obama's comments about small business owners that they didn't build it on their own. now senator, you're pushing back because you're in a battle with elizabeth warren to keep your senate seat because you feel she has the same philosophy. correct? >> listen, obviously the president made his statements, but people should know that professor warren made her statements over a year ago. they're almost verbatim. and the president got bad advice from professor warren certainly. you'll never hear me demonizing our job creators for those dreamers and those business owners, those people putting their sweat equity on the line, i have two words for you and that's thank you for those efforts. >> brian: when you look at what happened, the president's philosophy as opposed to yours, he says he's been taken out of context examine mitt romney hasn't been candid with them and

basically you're doing the same thing with elizabeth warren. what's your reaction? >> brian: first of all, i'm glad the president is correcting the record, but there is none of that with professor warren. she's actually doubled down and believes that we should have more government interference and more government regulations and more taxes taken out of people's pocket books and wallets. i don't. it's a very clear choice. we have a choice in america. by the way, for those who haven't seen the ad g to youtube or scottbrown.com and look at it. it will show what america once was and what america has become and what america can be again. you have two different philosophies. whose side are you actually on? are you on the small business owners and the men and women putting their sweat equity on the line every day or in favor of more examine big government of which professor warren is? she's a jobs destroyer, wanting more tax, higher and more regulations. it's a real, real choice between professor warren and me. >> brian: here is a little of that ad.

we did go to scottbrown.com. let's listen. >> jobs must come from growth in a vibrant and vital system of free enterprise. >> through our system of democracy and free enterprise, the united states has achieved remarkable, unbelievable progress. >> if you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own. you got a business, you didn't build that. somebody else made that happen. >> there is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. >> brian: that is elizabeth warren who you're running against. big difference. you also point out that she's battling for the middle class. what track record does she have that shows she's battled successfully? >> i'm not quite sure. i've been working for the middle class since for a long time trying to make sure our citizens got a good value for their

dollar. when you're teaching at harvard or penn and advocating for the folks in that academia arena, i'm not quite sure how you are battling. i'm going to continue to fight and draw real distinctions between somebody who is going to fight for the people of massachusetts, be that independent voice versus somebody who will be a jobs destroyer and idealogue. >> you are in the in middle of the biggest race in the country. right now the latest poll has you up by just two points against elizabeth warren. how are you dealing with all this attention, the national spotlight on the state of massachusetts? >> listen, i am going to be the same person i've always been. people know what they get with me. i'm an independent voter and thinker. i vote 54% with my party in the second most bipartisan senator in the united states senate. i read the bills. i understand them, see how they affect massachusetts, country, our debt and deficit and vote.

can you imagine 100 professor warrens down there, self-proclaimed rock thrower who wants to leave blood and teeth on the floor? i'm going to go down there examine problem solve because right now, we're not democrats or republicans. we're americans first. we need people down there like me and others who are going to work together, get in a room and start solving problems so we can come out of this recession lean and mean 'cause we live in the greatest country in the world and i want to keep making sure that we are going to be that way after we get out of this recession. >> brian: senator scott brown, thanks so much for joining us this morning and knowing him, he'll make me feel bad and tell me he's already worked out. is that correct? >> i did work out. and but you're in great shape. if people want to learn more examine help, go to scottbrown.com, and send that ad around. it's a very important statement as who we are as americans today. >> brian: thanks again. >> thank you. >> brian: anna, you're with another important guest. >> anna: trying to save money. good news for homeowners. interest rates are hitting

all-time lows. freddie mac saying the rate for a 30-year mortgage is at 3.53%. while the rate for a 15-year is at 2.83%. so is now the right time to switch up your mortgage and how much will you really save? joining us from nashville, tennessee, is personal finance expert dave ramsey. good morning, to dave. >> good morning, how are you? >> anna: fantastic. you say that there's a huge difference between this 15 and 30 year mortgage and you say always go with the shorter. >> always go with the 15 year fix. the difference monthly is almost nothing and obviously we just saw the screen there that the 15-year is even cheaper and if you'll pay 1% right now as a point, you can get down to like 2.75. this is unheard of since the early 1960s. >> anna: and you're giving me some numbers here that you provided us with the cost of $683 more a month is going to translate to five years will

save 14,735 bucks in interest. then by year 15, savings of more than $68,000 in interest. you can buy a lot of stuff with all that. >> well, absolutely. 'cause the 30-year mortgage is just something you're stuck in. it's like being stuck in molasses. i can't move here. the idea being, hey, we want to get our homes paid off. the 15-year takes you that way. it not only saves you 15 years of payments, it saves you 15 years of interest on that 300,000. that's a lot of money. >> anna: we're always look out for our viewers here. we'd like to share some e-mails. this is from linda in iowa. she says, we'd like to refinance from a 30 to 15 year mortgage. we have other debt and the refi would cost another 200 bucks a month. should we do it now or wait until we have our car paid off? what do you say? >> i would go ahead and do it now. i don't think $2,900 a month is probable lea going to -- the $200 a month is going to keep you.

it may keep you off maybe two months from your get out of debt plan. while these rates are at record lows, if you're going to stay in your home and you've got one of these higher rates or an adjustable rate or balloon mortgage, now is the time to refinance right now. >> anna: can you say that any more clearly? this one is from sally from michigan. we're going around and around with our realtor over pricing our home. we had wiggle room, but don't want to give it away. should we just wait? should they sit on it? >> well, i think what you got to do is pull comparable sales. they call them comps. that's how an appraisal is done and see what the reality of the market is. if you're arguing with the market, then you should wait. if you're arguing with your realtor, you should probably interview more realtors. >> anna: you say that home prices may be up, but not everywhere. so the market really does matter. also this coming from shannon in missouri. we're upside down on our house and have considered renting it out. what do we need to consider before becoming landlords? what do you think? >> well, you need to decide if

you have the strength to be very firm, but very fair. you can only be kind if you have a lot of strength. so you do a lot of interviewing on the front end, keep an open line of communication with the tenants. you don't just be desperate and get someone in there and then be shocked that the desperate tenant you put in is not a good one of the take your time selecting one. >> anna: good point. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. >> anna: 8:29 is the time. despite multi million dollar sales like solyndra, the obama administration just green lighted a new green project that's taking more of your green. that's next. then, it's war in the jackson house. a missing matriarch and fist fights between siblings? sounds like something out of a movie. building pass, corporate card, verizon 4g lte phone.

courtroom when his rights were read to him earlier this week. and when that happened, a number of victims or their family members were in court. the district attorney, carol chambers, pointed out earlier hundreds of people are impacted by this case. meantime, investigators have been revisiting the crime scene, the movie theater as well as the apartment where he lived. one question is what will happen to this theater now? fox news posed that question to sin mark holding, the owner, but did not get an answer. the actor who played the hero in the batman movie came to see survivors. christian bale made a surprise visit to the hospitals. he also stopped by the ever growing makeshift memorial across the street from the theater. and there is new life that has arrived as one family copes with the tram dee. hugo jackson medley was born yesterday morning at university of colorado hospital where there are eight victims. five in critical, including his father, caleb. caleb, an aspiring comedian, is in a medically induced coma.

he and his wife went to see the movie as a last date before the baby was born of the here is his brother. >> we are all looking forward to this. we were all excited about this. it is a silver lining to a very dark cloud. we all know caleb. we know he's a fighter and we know he's not going to stay out of that child's life for any length of time if he can avoid it. >> the baby's mother, katy, was not injured in the shooting and she is doing well physically. anna. >> anna: thank you so much. 8:36 is the time now. >> steve: look at the cover of the new york daily news today, it is war. what are we talking about? that is michael jackson's daughter, paris. that is michael jackson's sister, janet. apparently there has been something going on out in california. the kids, michael jackson's kids, say that grandma, katherine jackson, michael jackson's mother, has been

kidnapped. she's been missing for nine days. >> brian: how do we know nine days? because they tweeted it out. paris is desperate to find her grandmother, katherine, who along with the jackson kids, have inherited 40% of michael jackson's wealth. now, evidently the brothers and janet jackson feel as though that the will was -- is not a real document. they want it redone and want it tossed out. they want some of the money. the kids say north texas it's our money and our grandmother's money, and they feel as though -- cast republican jackson is missing. what grandmother leaves kids she's in custody of and doesn't tell them where she's going. >> steve: apparently nine days ago, according to the stories in the tabloids here in new york, first let's start with the tweet. this is the first one. >> anna: this came from at paris jackson, nine days and counting. so help me god, i will make whoever did this pay. >> steve: right. and so the story is that nine days ago, katherine jackson left to go follow some her sons on

some of their concerts. she never came back. now what they're saying, and there is a picture of her -- apparently now they say she is recovering from a mysterious health crisis with rebbie jackson in arizona now. so that's essentially where she's at. but the big question is, why isn't she in contact with michael jackson's children who she's supposed to be taking care of? >> brian: there was a huge conflict. jermaine shows up and they try to take the phones from the kids and they refuse and evidently they exchanged pleasantries and used the b word and it wasn't brian and it wasn't itch. it's somewhere in between. all caught on surveillance camera. then tito's son, trent, grabbed randy, the oldest from the jackson cartoons, that's the last time i saw him, he gets randy in a head lock. so it was a whole ambush and stealingment phones and stopping the tweets is not going to happen. michael jackson was complaining

about the same thing. the jacksons don't work anymore. they live off the 1970s andy williams specials. >> steve: so apparently what is being alleged is that janet jackson slapped paris when she was trying to grab the phone out of her hand. now it's being called asking much bigger. >> anna: apparently jealousy issue going on between janet and paris, orthros there is rumors of that because she landed a movie role. it's wild even to see paris' face because ever since 2009, you're starting to see her face. but before that, it was always the veil. >> brian: resemblance to michael is uncanny. >> steve: there she is right there. we don't really see her or prince or blanket very much. >> brian: tito if you're watching, i salute you, because you decided you didn't want any part of this. >> anna: 8:39. moving on. more troubling evidence in al-qaeda and other islamist extremists are trying to hijack

the syrian revolution. mass gunmen posing with al-qaeda flags posting a video on-line where they say they are forming suicide cells. there has been a surge in suicide attacks against the regime of al assad. syria's opposition denying it's involved with al-qaeda. >> brian: i wonder if any iraqi wmd ends up in syrian hands. four failed projects and billions of dollars later, the obama administration still pushing for solar energy initiatives. the interior department announcing it's setting aside 285,000-acres of public land in california, nevada, utah, colorado, and new mexico, all for new solar projects. interior secretary ken salazar calling it a, quote, proud moment. i'll keep reading. republicans saying that land would be better used for oil, gas and mineral drilling. four solar projects in the obama administration have given taxpayer money to have gone bankrupt, including solyndra. a fifth is on the verge of going

broke. but they have not learned their lesson. >> steve: meanwhile, here is one for you. san francisco library making it easier for people to watch porn. they're now testing out privacy screens so that only the person operating a computer can see what's on the screen. which can include porn. many are outraged that viewing porn is even allowed in public at the library. >> kind of messed up. people doing that kind of stuff in a public environment. >> even with those protector screens, people walking directly behind somebody can still see pornography. i mean, porn in a buy larry, there is -- library, there is president obama place for that. >> steve: what's to keep kids from viewing it? probably nothing. libraries say screens are a solution it prefers to filtering subjects. >> anna: if you ever have read the -- if you ever book a reservation at the damson dean hotel in england, don't expect to have a copy of the bible wait waiting for you. instead, the hotel's owner replaced it the best selling book "50 shades of grey."

saying they didn't think many people read the bible. there is a book everyone wants to read. >> steve: i just got a text from my wife that said everybody at the grocery store, the cashier and the bag check kids were all huddled around a copy of it yesterday. >> anna: what did you just say? kids. sticky part about it. >> brian: going shopping sounds good. >> steve: mom, why were you at the grocery store seven hours? taking a look at today's daytime hikes another hot one. 101 in dallas. 105 in kansas city. 107 in phoenix. wherever you are in the usa, the 48 connected states, look to a big number near your town. that's probably about where it will be where you are. that's your travelcast for this wednesday. >> brian: straight ahead. >> anna: bridge collapse, sending a car plunging into the raging waters below. the incredible rescue just in time. check this out. that's coming up next. >> brian: then. >> steve: the president making big moves to appeal to the

diagnosis manual like addict to do gambling, drugs and other things. supporters of the move say lives can be ruined by too much internet. i'm going to go log off and toss this to steve. >> steve: it is addictive. thank you very much. the obama administration making major policy changes ahead of the 2012 election. some say will help him, the president, win over voters. two weeks ago the administration granted states waivers for the work requirement for welfare. you really don't have to work anymore. that move came months after he used an executive order to grant amnesty to the children of illegal immigrants. so will these policy changes translate into votes in the barak obama column in november? professor larry sabato joins us right now from the university of virginia. larry, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> steve: we've heard so much about how this president, he's got these different demographics and he's just checking them offment i've got women, check. i've got this, i've got that.

is that what is what's behind these changes to welfare and immigration? >> i can't get inside their heads, but i can certainly see the effects. take latinos, for example. back in 2008, obama carried hispanics and latinos by 36 percentage points much it was massive over mccain. guess what he's leading by right now among latinos and hispanics? 48%. so it's having some impact, obviously. these decisions have increased his support and there aren't many sub groups like hispanics. obama has fallen among many other key subgroups, between 2008 and 2012. >> steve: the big question is, will it -- okay. so he's very popular with these particular demographics, but do the latino, the people who are getting the welfare, are they going to wind up going to the polls first tuesday in november? >> i think that's one of the big questions, is the enthusiasm level the same as in 2008?

the early answer is no. in fact, it appears to be well down among many democratic groups from young people to minorities. so that's the other side of this equation. you also have to add that the largest group of all is still caucasians, still white voters and among white voters, obama lost by 12 percentage points in 2008. this time he's losing by at least 15 percentage points to romney. that's a giant group of voters. >> steve: in particular, the blue collar white voter. and has he made any headway or is mr. romney opening the field there? >> he's opening the field with blue collar workers. they've never liked obama. they supported hillary clinton in the democratic primaries in 2008. then you layer on this bad economy. by the way, that's the countercutting edge that the republicans have this year, even with minority groups. they can say yes, you may

identify with barak obama, but has he delivered for you? look at the unemployment rates among minority voters. they're sky high. >> steve: larry sabato joining us from the university of virginia. does this count as summer school, you telling us this stuff? >> yes. this is three hours of credit. you can submit this on-line to the university of virginia. i can't say we'll do anything with it, but feel free to submit it to us. >> steve: i'm going tofutti on my resume. see you next time. find out why we're bouncing on the plaza. first, martha mccallum wish she was down at ground level. >> i bounced on myhis morning. >> steve: i bet you do. >> good morning, steve. thank you. president obama tells supporters at a fund-raiser that his plan for the economy has worked. we're going to get a closer look at those comments at that are getting some attention this morning. the numbers in the latest "wall street journal" poll, ed rollins on what he finds the most surprising in that new data. and riots in anaheim, shocking

examine quiet for them. then we help them really to understand the benefits of jumping and we've had many, many families tell us that it's the first time they've seen their kids truly have fun and enjoy themselves. >> anna: great the adults are having fun. steve doocy. >> looks like he's having a blast as well. it can be great experience for adults as well. >> anna: we want to make sure we let you plug the event more. the great open jump fund-raiser benefitting autism speaks at all 150 locations at pump it up nationwide. >> nationwide. i'm proud to say that 100% of the donations do all go to autism speaks. so if they come and make a donation tonight, they know all the money is going to autism speaks. >> anna: what a neat thing you're doing. friends at home, go to our web site and check out the web page, you'll get more information. more "fox & friends" in two minutes. don't go anywhere.
