>> gabby is so cute. >> a great show today. i miss you. i'm on the other side over here but i got an hour more sleep. >> everyone, have a great weekend out there. fox and friends starts right now! >> bye! >> bye girls. >> it's friday, you made it through the week. it's august 3, 2012. i'm ainsley erhard filling in for gretchen this morning. the latest unemployment numbers of coming out this morning. our last update before the convention. what experts are expecting and how those campaigns are preparing. that's just seconds away with stuart varney who is in our studios. >> he is. meanwhile, somebody who will not pipe down is harry reid. he's doubled down on his assault against mitt romney for not paying taxes according to his secret source.

and the governor says harry, bring it on. >> it's time for harry to put up or shut up. harry is going to have to describe who he is he spoke with because that's totally and completely wrong. >> what exactly is the senate majority leader doing? we will talk about that. and rush limbaugh has a new headline. >> i don't know how you live with yourself and work here. i don't understand it. this is a horrible corporation with horrible values. >> more on the offensive encounter and the fallout afterwards. "fox and friends" starts right now! ♪.

>> i have a feeling sometime today gloriana is going to be here on our stage. here this great is, world renown, not a single person there yet because isolates the sound check. now hundreds, maybe thousands will be there at about 8:00 today. >> i always feel bad for the guys on the summer concert series because they have to be here so early. but i have been checked with you during rehearsal but it's been our best summer series ever with crowds. unbelievable, stopping the traffic, most of the people are soaker and usually the hosts are sober. >> usually. >> and i going so say what steve is it thinking, ainsley,

pick up the energy. >> i'm sorry. is it too much? i just love being here. >> it's friday! >> yeah! >> lots of good lance for the weekend. i hope you made it through the week. congratulations. before we talk to stuart we will did headlines. the latest in the fast and furious scandal, william hoover, the atf number two official from 2009 up until 2011, he left the agency. he was reassigned last october during that shake-up. his resignation comes days after a scathing congressional report on the operation that blamed him and four other officials. and in just a few hours the u.n. general assembly planning to denounce syria for the ongoing violence there. this is coffee -- kafi anan

announcing he is resigning. >> the clear lack of unit in the security council have fundamentally changed the circumstances force the effective exercise of my roll. he also said assad has to leave after as the violence escalates. and a double decker blows a tire in illinois slamming into a concrete pillar and sending tear side passengers flying. one woman was killed, more than two dozen others taken to the hospital, others in minor injuries and others in grave condition. bus was filled to capacity with 81 people on board. it was traveling between chicago and missouri. and a plan to pucker up today or the chick-fil-a debate

on same-sex marriage. in response to the large gathering, the gay rights people are holding a kiss-in to go to a chick-fil-a and lock lips with the same number of sexed yesterday. this hams after people stood in long lines to show support for the company's ceo. >> and we are waiting for a new jobs report that will reason leased later on this morning and it's sure to set the tone for the discussion ahead of the political convention. what can we expect? stuart varney scrambled early. what does it look like? >> looks like 95,000, 100,000 new jobs. sounds like a lot. it's not. it's a weak jobs picture and a weakening and he. they will spin if every which way but if you get 0,000 new

jobs it's not good news, it's bad news for the economy. >> last month it was 80,000. >> and it's important from the political perspective because the next thing you have is the conventions. >> look, three years after the end of a recession, you should be should be creating, 200,000, 300,000 new jobs a month as you come out. this year we are not. as we approach the convention we approach the convention, the president wants to see a much better performance. he's not going to get it. >> and the thing about the number that comes out, and a lot of people don't realize this, is because so many people come into the job market every month, you need at least $125,000, 130,000 new jobs created to keep pace with the number of people coming n but the number today, remember the last jobs numbers that was 80,000, it was deceptive because two-thirds of it part-time jobs. >> 25,000 of those jobs keyity ad in the previous morning the month of june, is part-time job. that's not good.

you want a full-time, vigorous job. let me give you perspective. in july, 1984, that was in the same period of ronald reagan's first term, july of that year we created 312,000 new jobs and there were 30 million fewer americans back in those days. fast forward to today and even if you do get 100,000 new jobs for july, that's still extremely weak compared to reagan and compared to where we should be. >> wow. i've read a lot about seasonal adjustments. what is that exactly ask how does that make a difference. >> they make seasonal adjustments but it's not the major factor. the key number is how many new jobs were created. then look at the unemployment rate. did it go foreign policy 8.2 or down. >> i know you will break into the show when these numbers come across and you will have in stan analysis. >> sharp at 8:30. >> thanks a lot. >> that's at 9:20 on fox business. >> yes, you will. >> harry reid made news when he

with zero prove said a secret bain investor said mitt romney didn't pay taxes for ten years and mitt romney's dad would be embarrassed. and how do i know that? well, i don't. yesterday he doubled down and said it's all true but he has no proof. listen. >> so the word is out that he hasn't paid any taxes for ten years. let him prove that he has paid taxes because he hasn't. we already know from one partial tax return he gave us he has money hidden in bermuda, the cayman islands and a swiss bank account. not making it up. that's what he gave us. he makes more money in a single day than the average middle class family makes in two years or more. so let's not talk about this great plan the republicans have to create jobs. >> let me ask you, why is that

senate business to talk about the former governor of massachusetts on the senate floor? doesn't he have anything to pass? >> and your tax dollars are paying for that. >> he's insinuating, by the way, it's illegal to have these accounts which is not true. if you have money you can do whatever you can within the law to keep that money and not pay taxes if you stay in the law. you can invest it or do other things. meanwhile i think mitt romney walked into a trap i think for the third time and answers these -- answered that challenge and that unsubstantiated accusation. listen. >> it's time for harry to put up or shut up. harry is going to have to describe who it is he spoke with because that's totally and completely wrong. it's untrue, dishonest and inaccurate. it's wrong. so i'm -- i'm looking forward to have harry reveal his sources and we will probably find out it's the white house.

obama campaign is going to do everything in their power to try to talk about anything besides the president's record. >> absolutely right. you know mitch mcconnell, who is harry reid's counterpart yesterday, said on the floor of the senate? he said it's beneath the dignity of his office and said harry, shut up with the secret source. >> he's the one that called the president a loser. >> remember the war is lost? this is exactly how he runs his office so i have to counter mitch mcconnell on that. >> rush limbaugh went on to attack obama by questioning his records at harvard university. take a listen to this. >> so i am calling on barack obama to release his harvard transcripts. based on this, i got a call -- i got a call from a guy at harvard that claims that obama has the lowest grades of anybody who went there and didn't even go to class sometimes and the professors covered for him.

i -- i -- it's up to obama to prove it, the allegation is out there. what do you mean the burden is on me? i don't have to prove anything here. look, the burden is on obama. he is the one that i have alleged got the worst grades in the history of harvard. >> just to go back on this, before this trap, it's a ridiculous statement that someone says i got a call who invested in bain and said mitt romney hasn't paid taxes for ten years s it irresponsible? absolutely. and is it out of line for him to say his dad would be embarrassed that his son didn't pay tax necessary yes. but you talk about bain capital, you outsource jobs in 2003. romney said i wasn't there in 2003. oh, yeah, you were, and then comes the debate what he did with the olympics and how he was running bain. we're not talking about the economy. and this is the third one.

in that outlandish statements he hasn't paid tax necessary three years, he goes of it and now we are talking about it and the pressure comes on mitt romney to release more tax returns. this strategy, i imagine by david axelrod, is working. >> i disagree. you look at president carter, president reagan began, they both released one year of texas. mitt romney has released two. >> does anyone really care? does anyone need to see ten years of records? >> they are trying to portray him of a rich guy. >> what's the deal about that? wouldn't that help the economy. >> you would think so because we heard from stuart varney we need more jobs in the country. but the ironic thing is harry reid is talking about he has to release his tax return. how many tax returns has harry reid ever released? zero. nancy pelosi? zero. >> i think the hill newspaper a year back did a survey of the 535 members of congress and said how many of you will release

your tax records? 17 out of 535. keep in mind next time you see harry railing against mitt romney, we have to see your tax records and whatnot. harry doesn't practice what he preaches. >> coming up, defending his property could cost him his freedom. a man threatened with jail time for shooting that intruder that broke into his home. then -- >> every day they are putting their faces on billboards, you've seen them, to show mitt romney support. we will talk to one of these women to see why she is doing this when we come back. >> i think she built her business.

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. [ phil ] get back to the things that matter most. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. [ doctor ] enbrel, the number one biolog medicine prescribed by rheumatologists.

>> republican presidential candidate mitt romney giving small business owners in florida an opportunity to respond to president obama comments a couple of fridays ago that they owe their success to government. remember? >> if you've got a business, you didn't build that, somebody else made that happen. >> well, tanya burns runs her own insurance agency. she's among those featured on romney campaign billboards saying mr. president i built my business and she joins us from orlando. good morning to you.

>> good morning, steve. >> you have been in business for a long time. when you heard the president say that a couple of fridays ago in virginia, what did you think? >> i was greatly offended, steve. i left -- i left corporate america. i had worked for an insurance agency here in orlando for 17 years and decided to go out on my own. i had no -- i had no government help. we didn't go to the government for a small business lone or a minority business lone. we started with nothing and actually at my previous corporate america job i was provided with a company car, company credit card, all the perks. i had no automobile when i left my business. so the first thing we did was borrow from my husband's savings account at work to purchase an automobile. i had a friend who gave me, let me use an 8 by 10 office with a chair, a desk and a telephone.

>> you started from the ground floor from scratch and you have made it a business, although i know in the rough economy you have lost a lot of clients over the last three years or so. you know, somebody from the white house is probably watching right now, tanya. what's your message to the president? >> my message is, mr. president, i very greatly respect the position of the presidency. however, you have not ever run a business, you have not ever started a business, so what right do you have to say that somebody else built our small businesses for us? you've never been there, done that. you haven't lived the american dream. and i'm greatly offended. you've never laid awake at night wondering how you were going to make payroll for that week for your employees, how you were going to take care of bay of paying the bills to keep everybody working. that's what causes me to be greatly offended, steve.

>> and just out of cure i don't say city, i know you are appearing on some billboards down there in your state on behalf of mitt romney, why do you think mitt romney would be able to create some jobs and make it easier for small business people like you? >> because gov. romney has a proven track record, steve. he has started and run many, many successful businesses. he has been there, done that. he's taken our olympics from bankruptcy to success. you know, i tell people who would you rather have mentor you, someone whose been there and worked in the trenches that you can follow in their footsteps or someone who makes off-the-cuff comments that has never been there, never been in the trenches, never run a business before? and that's where i have a great job. >> all right. joining us today from the great city of orlando, florida, tanya burns. we thank you very much for

joining us live. >> thank you. >> by the way, tanya, you look great on a billboard. >> thank you, steve. >> letter. what do you think about that? e-mail us if you are a small business person in particular. in the meantime, almost 20 minutes after the top of the hour on this friday. are you quick to head to the doctor particularly online? you know, if you feel sick? if so, stop right now. what you need to know before you hit an online search to figure out what is ailing you. and it's official, you cannot use food stamps to buy marijuana. were people really doing it? a victory in common sense coming up. token up. wake up!

you will get more than 1,000 results and out of those 1,000 results, more than half of them are going to be wrong. so what do you need to know before you do all of those searches? fox news' medical a-team doctor, dr. sanati joins us. good morning. >> good morning. >> we are all guilty of it. what's your advice? >> you have to be able to maneuver around all the information that comes at you. for example, all of us sometimes have headaches or ear pain, et cetera. if you type in headaches you are going to solve diagnose with brain tumors with so many seizures and other things. it's not so great for diagnosing yourself. that's a big mistake. but we did something on house call last sunday. if you are diagnosed with vertigo and you need to look for some maneuver like airplane maneuver or if my case prostate cans, a lot of people are diagnosed with it and come up wi treatment option, that's

when you want to bring that information to your doctor and try to sort it out. self diagnosis is not good but it's good to get information. let's say you need to look for medication a doctor prescribed and you want to learn about the side effects. for those it has a lot of good information. still your doctor should have a one-to-one, face discussion for all the questions you have. >> you have to remind yourself, people are writing blogs. the majority of these people online writing the blogs didn't go to medical school. they aren't seeing patients day in and day out and a lot of it is incorrect. the author of this study or a colleague of the author of the study -- by the way, it's out of the journal of pediatrics so it's a good study. the study said double check your sources. the blogs, those are the ones about 30 percent accurate. >> that was a nightmare. that means you really have to be careful because blogs are

written by basically any nonmedical people who may cut and paste information from everywhere and that may be a lot of misinformation. again, it's good to bring that information to a doctor and say is this tra or not ask try to sort it out. dr. gag sell not ready to replace a real doctor. but you can get educated and bring the information to your doctor. so 80% to 30%, that's a huge gap of really horrible information that's out there. you have to be really careful and make sure you don't rely on this. and always double check. always double check on the information, get second and third opinions. after all, this is your health so i would be very, very careful about it. >> thank you. nice to see you, dr. samadi. >> nice to see you. >> many across mechanical lid in support of chick-fil-a to get across their message but then

someone had to ruin the party. >> i don't know now you live with yourself and work here. this is a horrible corporation is horrible values. >> the innocencetiven counter and the fallout coming up. our next guest has a plan for america, all of our debt load. cut our entitlesments and cut them now, she says. she hopes that message takes her all the way to congress. mia is walking into our studio now. first happy birthday to quarterback tom brady. he's 35 years old.

morning. our next guest was just a small town mayor in utah pushing for strong fiscal responsibility and it didn't take long for washington to take notice. now mia love is making a run for congress, ainsley. >> that's right and she's about to receive the blessings of two big time members of congress, john boehner and john mccain. this is a big deal. >> i'm happy that they are coming out to supports the campaign. we know how important toss for people to get out and get involved. it's all hands on deck. it's us that is going to put this country back together. >> and people have to sacrifice to do things but not my program, not my town, not my city, not my public works. >> right. we have to start discussing. it's going to be very difficult. in saratoga springs we had a shortfall in 2008 and we had to roll up our sleeves and cut 67%

in some areas, 37% in other areas. at then of the day i have to ask myself is it affordable, is it sustainable; it my job. but asking those questions and bringing the cuts we hold the highest bond rating available to us right now and we are financially well-run. >> when you were just talking about how, you know, in 2008 you had to make some cuts of two-thirds, some people say that's just -- that's crazy. >> that's a crazy cut. >> it's funny, because we have more resources now. we are -- saratoga springs is run very well financially. best thing i could have done at mayor is step out of the way and help businesses to thrive and that's what's happening and i think washington can take a lesson from that. >> can you give us an idea of the programs you had to cut? >> we had to cut a lot of the inspect source. the housing market fell so the housing people going out to do the inspections. >> you didn't need them. >> our specific events program. here's what is funny, we cut the

civic events program and the funding for it but we have a better program now because it is run on volunteers. when you get the community involved, all of a sudden everybody wants to come to these events. we have a better run civic events program now than we ever had. same with the library. we have a completely volunteer run library and not on the back of the taxpayers. >> a lot of the folks you had to cut probably helped you get into office. i know that's difficult to cut jobs but i know it must have worked out in your favor. >> i was elected with 60% of the votes after that. i've been able to help lead the city and it's working together. i think a lot of -- we've got a president and people who support the president that are completely trying to divide this country. i think everyone has to get involved. we are going to have to role up our sleeves because technically what we are doing is we are stealing from the future generations to pay for the present. >> i'm glad you are detailed,

mayor, what some of the cuts were because they turned out to be common sense cuts. if you wind up going to washington, d.c., first of all they can use a little common sense there. also they have to make big cuts and they have to change big programs if they are going to go forward in the future. like they have to figure a way so that social security is there for people, medicare, medicaid, stuff like that so that it works going forward. >> yes. and we have to have -- we have to elect people that are at least willing to talk about it. i have an opponent that has never come out with any plan at all. you know -- >> in fact, here's what he said. do you want to see this quote? >> sure. >> he said i don't think utah families who are counting on social security to be there want to support someone who says we ought to phase out social security. i don't think utah families who value education want someone who says we should stop doing federal loans. >> it's interesting because i think jim mathison before used to put utah values ahead and we

have somebody in the state of utah who votes with the president 75% of the time. utah is one of the most republican states in the country. but barack obama has a 26% approval rating in utah. i mean, you do the math. >> so who is he representing? >> he's vowed publicly he's going to support the president in november. this is a person who no longer puts utah first, where our values, our fiscal discipline, limited government, personal responsibility, we are concerned about the future of our children and we have to do something about it. >> all right. very nice to meet you in person. we've talked to you via satellite. mia love. >> i want to make sure to let everybody know we have to get all hands on deck. please go to loveforutah.com and get involved. let this president, send a message out there saying we are no longer trying going to allow the liberals to do this. >> a great name for a politician. >> i've seen brian has been on

complete tossup, if you will. >> okay. the number comes out at 8:30 today. if it's 100, hundred 50,000, is that a good number? >> it's not good. we are in bizarre world right now. everything we do they do the opposite. >> why are you look at me? half laugh. >> of course i know that. >> it came out like 1960 so i didn't think you were old enough. >> she's not. >> i'm old enough. >> i know nothing about bizarre planet. >> because wall street is actually rooting for a number less than that so the federal reserve steps in. but let's face it, 100,000, 150,000, those are tiny numbers compared to the people unemployed and compared to the potential. our country. it would be crazy we are rooting for this but yet this may be the only thing to get the stock

market going today is a number less than 100,000 because it means the fed would have to do something. >> they would have to print money. >> you would think they were printing money and stocking california. this town went bankrupt and now we are learning the chief of police who was on the job for eight months has wound up with a pension of $204,000 a year. i think he's 54 years old. >> i have to tell you, guys, we talk a lot about corruption and waste of money in washington, d.c. one of the biggest sandals going on is this local municipalities and how they have squandered so much money. they have made amazing promises that they absolutely could never achieve. consequently, people like stockton, crime right now because they let go of police, has gone through the roof. the murder rate has exploded. they believe probably double the murders because they are paying someone who isn't even working this kind of money. >> whose fault is it, his fault or the guys who let it happen?

>> i pitch a documentary to fox. i think it's a two prong thing. people lose connection with their local governments and sometimes their federal governments. but politician, they pander to us. for years we've always elected politician that is promise you i'll get you the loop. we send people to washington d.c. to loot the joint and bring back the money and build bridges to nowhere. so ultimately it's our call as citizens. but i hope this is a wake-up call. this is not going to stop. we had made promises we cannot commit to. >> and he won't see the pension money if the city and in bankruptcy. >> they will probably rework their contract but the bad news is stockton can't raise money for a long time and it doesn't solve their problems now. they overbuilt. >> it's bad for the people in stockton. >> bad for all of us now. hopefully it's a wake-up call

for all of us except in bizarre world we hit the snooze button. >> indeed. charles payne. >> thank you very much. >> this week we watched civil americans rally all across the country to support chick-fil-a but somebody had their own party. >> it's my pleasure to serve you always. >> i don't know how you work here. i don't understand it. this is a horrible corporation with horrible values. >> more of that insensitive encounter and the fallout come up. >> why is he picking on the girl at the checkout? >> i don't know. >> if you lose your money on blackjack, can you sue the casino to get it back? good luck. but now casinos suing people for making too much money. >> you can't make it up, people. >> it's it's bizarreo world.

hi. we're spreading the word about new honey bunches of oats fruit blends and their unique taste combinations. like peach/raspberry. with one flavor in the granola bunch and one on the flake. two flavors. in harmony. honey bunches of oats. ke your day hes better.

>> the tale of two types of protests. there is support for chick-fil-a versus the violent confrontations we saw last year. does there have to be chaos to get your point across? steve, do you see a difference between the two? >> of course i see the difference between the two. first of all are people see the chick-fil-a situation and not see it as a protest but just conservatives others protest in different ways. some make their voice heard by voting with their dollars and liberals decide to commit felonies and harass and assault and name while tipping over police cars. there's a little bit of contrast.

>> i want to hear this. one. these people saying he's upset with chick-fil-a saying he's against same-sex marriage. he decided to get his video camera out and berate a chick-fil-a water. here's my free water? >> yes? you know why i'm getting a free water, right. >> because chick-fil-a is a hate full corporation. >> i wouldn't agree with that. >> i don't believe corporations should be giving money to hate full groups. >> inaudible. >> totally understand. i'll take my water. >> i'll get you anything you need. >> i don't know how you live with yourself and work here. this is a horrible corporation with horrible values. >> that man got fired. that woman kept her composure. you have to have hate full and nasty? >> only hate full person i hear is that man. who you choose to sleep with has

nothing to do with the first amendment. the man who owns a company has the right to his own opinion. you know what happened? you know what i would do it the owner of a business tomorrow started burning bibles? >> what would you do. >> i wouldn't eat there. and me why. >> why, steve. >> because i'm not a marxist idiot. people have a right to free speech. rosie o'donnell is tweeting me all the time. she's supporting the protests and this chick-fil-a thing. how would you feel if you had a gay child? and i said first of all, what stand? i hate a chicken sandwich and i'll always be proud to support the first amendment and if any child is gay, that's okay. and clearly he called one person hate full when he was hate full. and this is like rosie o'donnell and the leftist. because if she had a child she didn't agree with shield probably resent that child.

and all in the name of tolerance to be sure, brian. >> steve is pumped up this morning. thanks so much and i'm sure rosie will have a response to your challenge right now. share it with us. >> thank you. >>. >> an atf now stepping down because of the fast and furious scandal. did you hear about this? cal s not stopping. cal rip kin jr. joins us live after someone tried to take his mother. umming♪ check out the bass pro shops fall hunting classic, our biggest hunting event ever. during our bow trade-in sale you can save up to $100 on top of already low sale prices. and check out free seminars by top pro hunters this weekend.

he's not going to find it the next few months. >> brian: more on how both campaigns are preparing for the big news. >> steve: that's right. you don't mess around with the ironman and get away it. cal ripken, junior's mother kidnapped, and found 4 hours later -- 24 hours later. he's on a mission to catch that creep who did it. he is live with brian this hour. "fox & friends," hour two for a friday live from new york city, starts right now. >> brian: come out to 48th and 6th. the cruds have been unbelievable this year. we feed you, give you a great concert.

gloriana is here. >> ainsley: this song has been so popular. this is the song you're hearing. they are here to sing it for us this morning. >> brian: they're here live. >> steve: fantastic. welcome aboard, folkings, live from studio e here at our world headquarters, we've got anesy in today. >> ainsley: i'm fill not guilty for gretchen. i love sitting next to you. you especially, steve. >> brian: and the last hour, did you meet cara? >> ainsley: i switched her forever on "american idol." >> brian: she's one of those people who is so talented. she can write and sing and dance. >> ainsley: and now she's going to anchor the last hour. >> brian: you get to go out and eat famous dave's. >> ainsley: i'm going out to new jersey. i wish i could eat all that.

>> steve: they're serving it up. so stop by. 90s from now, the latest jobs numbers will come out. the experts are saying unemployment is probably going to stay at that number where it was in june at 8.2%. they're expecting maybe 95,000 jobs added. that's what some of the economists are predicting, although adp, the big paycheck maker, had a much higher number a couple days ago. we'll find out how it goes. politically, the jobs number is not great and that is problematic for the president of the united states who really doesn't want to talk about the fact that so many people are having a tough time finding a job. >> nobody is satisfied with our pace of growth. nobody is satisfied even with all the jobs we've create. we've got to create more. but if you look at our history, if you look at the facts, every time we've grown, it hasn't been by the top down. it's been from the middle out. it's been from the bottom up.

>> brian: so that's the president yesterday trying to say look, trying to spin it positively and harking back to the clinton years and saying how mitt romney wants to raise your taxes and give himself a tax break. we'll see if that will resonate as he goes from ohio to florida. speaker boehner was on radio with me yesterday and governor christie was on the stump basically saying the same thing. the president is clueless, in their minds, when it comes to unemployment, jobs and the economy. >> the president has never created a job. he's never even had a real job, for god's sakes. and i can tell you in my dealings with him, he has no idea how the real world that we live in actually works. >> the american people are tired of having a happy song son. what the american people want are a leader who is willing to lead. the president of the united states has been like a man walking around in a dark room looking for the light switch of leadership for the last four years. he hasn't found it yet.

he's not going to find it the next few months. >> steve: the problem for the president is, and i've talked to some of my friends who are small business owner, is there is so much uncertainty in the economic, the job numbers are soft because a lot of people don't know what's going to happen with obamacare, how it will impact them. plus the whole tax thing coming up at the end of the year. how will that affect them? so they're less likely to do some hiring right now when the president really could use more jobs. >> ainsley: it's crystal clear, people are voting this time around based on the economy, on jobs and getting our country back on track. >> brian: governor christie showing why i believe he will be named the number two guy. he's very natural out there. i think he's going to be the number two guy. i put my whole family fortune on it, which i inherited and didn't earn. >> steve: congratulations. >> brian: we should know as soon as ann romney gets home with her horse. we understand when she gets back, they're going to name the vice presidential pick.

he's not going to name it with her in england. >> steve: get out your smart phone because the people who hear it first will have the mitt romney app. >> ainsley: how do you get it? >> steve: go to mitt romney.com. >> brian: when you register, you put your name and address. >> ainsley: know that before you do it, 'cause you'll get a loft e-mails and phone calls. the latest turn in the fast and furious scandal as the former deputy director of the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives left the agency. william hoover was the number two official from 2009 to 2011. there is his picture. he was reassigned last october during a staff shakeup and his resignation comes days after a scathing congressional report on the operation that blamed him and four other officials. the u.n. general assembly expected to denounce syria for the violence there. it comes as kofi annan announces he's quitting as the peace

envoy, in part because russia and china won't shine with their allies calling for stronger action against the regime. >> the increase in militarization on the ground and the clear lack of unity in the security council have fundamentally changed the circumstances for the effective exercise of my role. >> ainsley: he also said it's crystal clear that president bashar assad must leave office as violence escalates. blowing a tire on the highway in illinois. slam noose a concrete bridge pillar and then sends terrified passengers actually flying through the air. cops say one woman was killed. more than two dozen taken to the hospital. some of them with minor injuries. others in grave condition this morning. the bus filled to capacity with 81 people, traveling between chicago and missouri. truly, truly, an historic day for the united states at the

olympics. gabby douglas, that cute little girl, she is becoming the first african-american to win the women's all around title in gymnastics. >> steve: she's amazing. >> ainsley: isn't she? the third straight american to do that. it's the second gold medal this week for her. douglas and her teammates win the first gold medal in gymnastics since 1996. >> brian: we have our next mary lou. london was hoping that hosting the summer games would be a major boost for its economy. as we've seen, business is anything bugledden, sadly. greg palkot lives there, works there and has more. >> hey, brian. that's right. in the east side of london is the olympic park, things are very busy. it was another good night for team usa. michael phelps won another gold medal. basketball team scored an amazing amount of points. we ventured around the center of london and it is a completely different scene. things are quite calm. one taxi driver dubbed it a

ghost town. a lot of empty tables at restaurants. we talked to tourist officials and they said foreign officials are down by half. business and attractions and hotels and theaters, down 20 to 40%. according one person, the visitors were unnecessarily scared away. take a listen. >> there has been a big campaign here to keep people out of london because they were expecting huge crowds. i think this now seems to be a little bit misguided. we're seeing a substantial dropoff in domestic visitors and that's what's hurting the london economy. >> last night, the u.k. prime minister david cameron went on television and urged people to come back into the city. there are scenes that locals are coming back, realizing there may not be a karma gedden. and there are all the olympic visitors we were running into. they're beginning to spend. earning back the $15 billion that the u.k. spent on the games, that might be a long-term

proposition. i can tell you guys, in my west neighborhood which is right next to the indoor volleyball venue, very busy. and we're not too far away from the outdoor beach volleyball venue and i can tell from you personal experience, that is busy as well. back to you. >> brian: enjoy it. eventually it will end. thanks, greg. >> ainsley: we'll come spend money over there. we'll move in a your flat. >> brian: he's got it ask us. >> steve: i didn't hear an invitation. we just know the parking is terrible this week. the heated debate over chick-fil-a's stand on same sex marriage is far from kiss and make-up phase. but gay rights activists are planning for a kiss in today. john roberts joins us live from decatur, georgia with the details in front of a looks like a busy chick-fil-a. good morning to you, john. >> good morning to you. this is more like a kissoff. a kissoff, gay and lesbian groups across the country plan ago big protest.

the big one is at 8:00 p.m. tonight across the country here in decatur, georgia, a local group is planning to have one between noon and 2:00 o'clock. we'll see that during the daylight hours. on wednesday, supporters of chick-fil-a had their say, voting with their wallets, long lines around many chick-fil-a, pushing the company to its biggest sales day ever. today will be the counter protest. yesterday we stopped by a local group here in atlanta that is preparing for today's demonstration, making signs they'll be carrying around on the sidewalk. we talked to the director of that group, marcie, who says she would love the opportunity to sit down one on one with dan cathy and exchange some views. here is what she told us. >> i'd love to have a sit down with him. i'd love him to see my family values and love him to how dare him denounce i'm not a family because i'm married to a woman. he doesn't have that right. >> even though he said he supports a biblical view of

marriage, chick-fil-a in a statement yesterday said it is open to all comers and prepared for today's protests, saying this: this is steve robinson, their executive vp, friday may present another opportunity to serve with genuine hospitality, superior service and great food. we found a new poll that america's attitudes toward same sex marriage are beginning to change. in total, 48% of americans support gay marriage. that's up 9% since 2008. democrats, of course, are the group that are most in favor of it. 65%. independents right behind at 51%. republicans back at 24%. all of those numbers are up from four years ago. critics of chick-fil-a say this is about far more than same sex marriage. they say not only does chick-fil-a's ceo have a biblical view of marriage as opposed to inclusive one that they would like to see, but chick-fil-a, through its charitable foundation gives money to groups, they say that,

are antigay and specifically against same sex marriage. we'll see all of this unfold throughout the day here in decatur, georgia and across the country. back to you in new york. >> steve: john roberts down live. thank you very much. >> brian: he did not have to bring his lunch. he could take break inside. coming up. >> ainsley: a guy so mad about his arrest, he thought it was a good idea to take his tractor and run right over some police cruisers. we'll tell you how that worked out for him. >> steve: as we just told you. >> brian: the latest unemployment numbers are out a little more than an hour from now. >> steve: how could this affect the presidential race going forward? our political panel will weigh in. >> brian: they're a combined weight of 197 pounds. >> ryan lochte says the best way to pick up a woman is to wink at her. now, this was in an article entitled "things that only work for ryan lochte." i've tried winking many times.

how will the numbers impact the race for the white house? let's talk to our great political panel on this friday, ed is managing partner of chatwood capital investment in dallas. john is a political analyst and white house commentator for sky news. and we've got -- they've got to a new app out. and bridget is the former finance director for the kerry edwards presidential campaign and author of the new book "domestic affairs." good morning to all of you. >> good morning. >> steve: bridget, let's start with you. you're on the left side. the number is coming out an hour and 15 minutes from now. not going to be good. how are you going to spin it? >> i think as we head into the convention, the question is going to be what size chart do the parties show? i think the democrats are going to need to show the long chart, from where bush was to where obama -- >> steve: are you blaming bush? >> never. never. no. i'm saying that obama has taken

the economy in a upward trajectory from then. >> steve: is that true? because i've heard and i've seen data, ed, that during this administration so far, given that so many jobs were lost, this administration has not created any net jobs, net new jobs since the president took office. >> no, bridget, i absolutely love you. but i don't know what chart you're look at because every single thing that obama has done, his policies, have created less jobs, weaker economy. think about this, 63.8% of the labor force is working. meaning that there are 37 plus% of the work force that's not. the people watching the show now who have jobs, when that number comes down and it's weak, that means their job is in jeopardy 'cause a weak economy, a weak jobs number means a weak economy, which means everybody is at risk. >> steve: you have job security because you have an ipad app. >> thank you for that plug. brother station.

>> yes. the answer is this, the president really had very little to do with the economy. there is a euro crisis now that is rippling and it could ripple through us. gas price have not controlled any president. the fact if neither obama nor romney can come up with a solid plan to deal with the congress after inauguration day, which is going to be even more volatile and more hateful. there is much more problems then than now. if they can say if they can solve the situation, they both are absolutely wrong. >> i got to throw this in. usually what you just said in almost any presidential term is true. obama is different. he's so intrusive into business, like no other president ever has been, he actually has injected himself into a world that no other president up to him has done as much. he has been a disaster for the economy. and so most of the time i agree with you. in this case, absolutely not. >> this president has to play to the middle class and mitt romney -- >> oh, he's doing that. >> that is what he's trying do

campaigning. but the fact is, congress is leaving, steve, in a few days. guess what? they're going back home to tell everybody what a great job they've done and they're not coming back 'til after labor day. >> steve: i got a feeling people at home will be chewing their ears off. >> i think you're right. >> steve: we'll continue our conversation with the panel. are you ready for the tax man? here he comes again. the irs now tasked with enforcing the awfully popular obamacare. but is the agency you want regulating health care? and if you lose all your money on black jack, can you sue the casino? good luck. but the other way around? that might work. a major casino suing gamblers for winning too much! not so lucky ♪guitar

with enforcing obamacare. but in a hearing held on capitol hill yesterday, republicans questioned whether the agency was really up to the job. here is how the commissioner, doug shulman, responded. >> i believe the effort is going smoothly. i believe we have the proper plans in place and all of this is a tribute to the dedicated, professional men and women at the irs. >> steve: right. but can we trust an agency already stretched thinly to succeed in its new expanded role? we're back with our political panel. ed, what do you think, do you want the irs figuring out all the parameters for obamacare? >> first of all, i love the irs. i want to get that out. >> steve: sure you do. >> the great hard working people. but it's unfair to them. we're going to hire 16,000 new people to work on obamacare tax. so think about that. what are we going to do? borrow money, increase our debt to pay for this. you got to think about how the

process works. they're not prepared. am i comfortable with it? i'm not comfortable with anything because nobody has clarity on what obamacare is. >> steve: you have to pass it before you figure it out what it is. >> this time it's my turn to say i love you, but you're dead wrong. >> steve: a lot of love here today. >> that 16,000 people is a fact that michelle bachman threw out last year, that her 7-foot doctor told her. come on. it's not true. >> how many people is it? >> they said it's greatly overestimated that it's 16,000 people. the irs is the only organization that's fit to do this. it's really one form to who else are you going to have do it? >> steve: it's like the dmv. people hate the dmv. the irs, john, is like the irs running obamacare. >> it's a very premature conversation. the kinks haven't been worked out. we'll see what has to come out.

fact is the insurers have weather have to send a form to us. we'll have to send it to the irs in their nice envelope back to them. >> steve: maybe. >> that's how we get it to them. those without insurance have to call the tax. $700 a year to whomever, and that's how they take care of that. it's not so terribly difficult. we really don't know the answer. >> it's not even a separate envelope. it's one form added to your tax return. the irs is the only appropriate organization to do that. >> so it is a tax? >> steve: all right. great discussion today. ed and john christopher who bridget really, really loves, and vice-versa, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> happy friday. >> steve: you don't mess around with the ironman and get away with it. cal ripken's mom, cal ripken, junior's, mom kidnapped at gun point a week or so ago and found in the back of her car.

throughout morn plains. it's dry across the eastern third, along coastal usa. we've got a lot of 60s and 70s across the east. 80s already. 78 right now in tampa. it's going to be a hot one today. look at dallas-fort worth, the maestro complex, hot, hot, hot, 107 there. unfortunately, no rain in sight. they really desperately need it. this drought is just a killer of the crops. 102 in san antonio and el paso. about the same for kansas city. >> ainsley: dallas and phoenix, 107. >> steve: i know, it will be a hot day here on a friday. >> ainsley: it's a dry heat, they say. >> steve: yeah. they just need some rain. >> brian: what are you talking about? >> ainsley: it's phoenix, that's what they say, it's a dry heat. >> steve: no drought of people helping you with sports. >> brian: rebecca -- anita is here. she's also went to penn state. senior year, are you pumped up? did you enjoy the summer? >> yes, it was the time of my

life. i had a blast. thank you, everyone. >> brian: let's hear about the olympics. >> okay. rebecca soni break her own world record in the 200-meter breast stroke race. >> going to win back to back gold! she is going to prevail again! >> soni winning the gold in 2 minutes and 19.59 seconds. she beat her time in the semifinals by .41 seconds. america finally has its first gold medal winner in judo. kayla harrison winning 2-0 in the under 78-kilogram division. harrison, ecstatic after the win, and raising over -- racing to her coach. harrison, a victim of abuse, says she wants to help other victims and help children realize their own olympic dreams. and talk about dominating. the u.s. men's basketball team breaking the olympic record for most points in a game in a 156-73 blowout of nigeria.

the previous record, 138 points. the 83 point out also a record for the largest margin of victory. carmelo anthony had 37 points, the most in an olympic game.

[ applause ] meanwhile, it's one of the biggest songs on the radio now and sung by one of country music's hottest groups. gloriana "kiss you good night". [ applause ] >> ainsley: we're here with brothers tom and rachel, of course, and mike. i want to ask you guys, you were a foursome and now you're a threesome. how did that change your approach to the record? >> we actually had finished the

record as a four piece. so with the unexpected departure of our former band mate, we decided to go back in and completely scrap the record, revise everything, and so we kind of got an opportunity that was unique to really just get to do a second draft of this record. it's really organic and we all either wrote or co-wrote every single song on this record. >> steve: that's the kind of question that -- pardon me. i'm bad. i didn't introduce, you know her from "american idol," kara dioguardi is here. [ cheers and applause ] singer, song writer. >> something, something. >> steve: so in the beginning, you two brothers moved into her place and just spent the whole time eating ramen noodles, is that right? >> we did. we moved from north carolina to nashville. we didn't really have a place to stay. so we were crashing on friend's couches. >> steve: how did you talk her

into, we're not going to make a mess? >> there was a screening process. no. it was great. she was nice enough to take us in. >> worse than that, she paid the bill for the apartment. >> steve: are you kidding me? >> true. >> steve: why? >> we were broke. >> they still owe me. >> steve: did you guys do anything around the house to help defray costs? >> kind of. >> someone is getting married up here. someone is getting married up here. >> steve: congratulations. >> thank you very much. >> it's a sad day for a bunch of girls out there. >> it's a wonderful day. i got engaged to my girlfriend of ten years. >> steve: how long you been going out? >> ten years. >> steve: wow! >> steve: when you getting hitched? >> october of next year. >> steve: yeah, why hurry? you guys are on a great tour and we know you've been involved with taylor swift. you guys love them, right?

at earthjustice, we defend the environment in the courtroom. join our fight. when you take a seat, you take a stand. earthjustice. because the earth needs a good lawyer. >> brian: look at this video. do you recognize this man? take a close look. this is surveillance footage of the man police believe kidnapped cal ripken junior's mom at gun point from her home in maryland last week. 74-year-old vi ripken was abducted and found one day later tied up in the back seat of her car. mysterious, right? police described the suspect as a white male, late 30s, or early 40s, looks like that. here to speak for the first time

about this incident, baseball great cal ripken, junior. wish it was better circumstances. how is your mom, first off? >> well, i mean, that's the reason i'm coming on today is for twofold. one is that everyone is asking about my mom and what condition she's in and those sort of things. she's doing quite well. she's doing okay. she's gone through a very traumatic experience, one that you look at and think, wow, this is a movie and somehow we're in it. the second thing is just to make a plea, law enforcement needs help in finding this guy. >> brian: what could you tell us? we got his stats, 5' 10, between 30 and 40. slugs a sketch that you guys put together. what has your mom been able to say about the way he talked, the way he moved and what he said? >> not a whole lot. very little conversation. as -- she was taken from her home in her garage at gun point. she was tied up and she was in a

car basically for the next 23 hours. then she was delivered back two doors down from the original place that she was taken from her house. thank goodness, she's back home, safe. she's unharmed. psychologically, i think she's a little harmed, but we're just really happy we have her back. >> brian: obviously. and the key is her safety. now that she is back, do you believe that they knew who they were -- this guy knew who he was kidnapping? >> this is the most bizarre thing. we don't know that for a fact. it could be that. it could be -- it was planned, it was premeditated. there was a lot of thought that went into it. but there was no reference to the last name. there was no reference to him even knowing who she was. it could be very random or could be something more. we don't know that. >> brian: when she was found, did she say that there was any conversation in the car along the way? was there any demands made?

>> no. no demands. no conversation. there were several times an assurance that she wouldn't be hurt and she would be brought back home and then i think the only thing she said was like, when? and we really don't know why it was 23 hours. we don't know why the time frame. we don't know a whole lot about it. law enforcement certainly is certain that the picture that is being circulated is the suspect. they just need help in finding him. >> brian: i'm wondering, in thinking about this, if they knew who he was, have police questioned you or billy about people that might have something out for you? there is so many crazy people out there. >> certainly the investigation has taken many different forms. the reason i wanted to come on here to talk today is first and foremost is to let everybody know that mom is okay 'cause everyone is really worried about mom. secondly is to help law enforcement there. but they've been investigating every age of it and everybody

has been interviewed and they're looking at all different possibilities. yeah, they haven't left any stone unturned so far. >> brian: if you're listening on radio and you're not able to see it, watch the show back. but also call this number if you know anything. 410-836-5432. i can imagine, cal, it would make your mom sleep easier when we got this guy, right? that would do a lot for her psychologically, too, i imagine. >> yeah. she's not back in her house yet. so that gives you some sort of indication of the feeling she has right now. it's a very traumatic experience. it makes awful us think differently about our security and our own lives and she hasn't recovered from that yet. yeah. it would make everybody feel a whole lot easier. >> brian: cal, have you guys personally stepped up any security for yourselves? >> well, yeah. we always take precautions. but certainly, yes. the answer is yes. >> brian: all right.

and right now your mom is not back. so everything is still up in the air. and the police in support of you coming forward and talking about this? >> yeah. the investigation has taken a couple case. they didn't want too much media coverage in the very beginning. now they've reached out and said yeah, they need assistance and they need help. so again, coming along today, i thank you for the opportunity. it is to assist law enforcement. it is to ask for everyone's eyes on the case and everything they know. so that's really why we're coming out. also again, i want to reiterate, one of the main reasons i wanted to come on was assure everyone that mom is doing fine. she's a strong lady and she's recovering pretty well. >> brian: she is. 74 years old, having to put up with this, so traumatic. typical ripken, extremely tough examine persevering through. cal, you're always welcome here. anything we can do to help, let us know. we'll post the entire segment

on-line. you can check out the sketches and the video for yourself. thanks so much. >> thank you, brian. >> brian: up next, we change gears, there were signs and psychiatrists who spoke to movie massacre suspect james holmes saw them. but did they drop the ball by not telling authorities? judge jeanine pirro weighs in on the case and their responsibility next. first on this day in history, 1976, "don't go breaking my heart "was the song. elton john wrote it and kiki dee also was there singing the female parts. ♪ i gave you my key ♪ ♪ woo who ♪ nobody wake up! ♪ hmmm.

>> ainsley: we have new details about the colorado movie murder suspect, james holmes. we are now learning that his psychiatrist, dr. lynn fenton, who you see here, reportedly warned the university of colorado about holmes' behavior just a few weeks before that attack. yet the school took no action in reporting it to police or anyone else. so can the school now be blamed for the shootings? joining us now is the host of "justice," judge jeanine pirro. good morning. >> good morning. >> ainsley: did the school drop the ball on this? >> it's hard to say. we don't have all of the facts. what we know is this: this dr. fenton was treating the shooter, james holmes. she was concerned enough about him to refer him, her case, her patient, to the behavioral analysis threat assessment team, or behavioral assessment team. instead of dealing with the case, the team made a decision, either not to review the holmes case or just drop it because

holmes dropped out of school after failing his oral exams. curiously enough, he then goes out and starts buying guns when he fails the exam. so the issue is whether or not, if you have a therapist or psychiatrist and there is confidentiality, do they have a duty to warn the public or a specific individual? the truth is in spite of confidentiality, they do have a duty. if they have specific information of imminent physical violence against a specific person. now, what if he says, i'm going after everybody in class, or i'm going after everybody in a movie theater? that still is serious enough and i'll tell i couldn't it's a danger zone for the school and the psychiatrist. the fact that she referred it to the threat assessment team, they did nothing. they dropped the ball. they deny his access to the school within two days of his failing that exam and dropping out, or beginning the process of dropping out, which tells me

they don't want him on campus. they don't call the police. they don't inform anyone who he might specifically have referenced or even a specific category. i think given the massacre, the rampage here that this woman, the therapist who created, worked on the creation of this team to just drop it and then we see these consequences, there will be a number of civil action, as sure as i'm sitting here, and there will be a lot of questions. i'm sure this psychiatrist is not feeling too well today. >> ainsley: how do you explain this to the parents? what if they do report it to police, law enforcement. what can they do if he thus far has not committed a crime? >> i think law enforcement, and you have to give them a little more credit for analyzing individuals. i mean, if they want to say, well, he hasn't committed a crime, but they would look into him. they would start to know some of his behavior. they would be able to find that out, in addition to that, they would be able to find out from the therapist more specific

information. remember, she is very knowledgeable on schizophrenia and paranoia and all that stuff. i think there is a lot more to come here. very disappointing situation where no one was notified, even though she was concerned enough to know that the team should be involved. >> ainsley: if you see something suspicious, go straight to authorities. don't go to a team one at the university. >> well, yeah. and hopefully the teams at the university will know they've got a lot of people relying on them. >> ainsley: exactly. thanks so much, judge. "justice" airs saturday night 9 p.m i'm sure you'll be talk being this case. >> and drew peterson, of course. >> ainsley: thanks so much for being here. coming up, harry reid doubles down on his assault against mitt romney for not paying taxes. but the governor says bring it on. so what exactly is the senate majority leader doing? plus, we still have a big show on the way. kara dioguardi is hosting our next hour. there she is with her really development he's here as well, joining us, coming up.

geraldo a moment ago and he's coming up in just a moment. first, we got some headlines. you ready to do that? >> i am ready to do the headlines. all right. beginning with a fox news alert, the labor department just 30 minutes away from releasing a brand-new jobs report for the month of july. today's numbers are expected to have a huge impact on both president obama and mitt romney. this is the last jobs report we'll see before the republican and democratic national conventions. also out today, the unemployment rate for the month. experts predict it will remain at 8.2%. more than 13 million americans are looking for work. just a few hours from now, the united nations general assembly plan to officially denounce the violence in syria. we're getting even more bad news. the u.n. envoy to the arab league, kofi annan, was supposed to cut a peace deal with syria. but he just called it quits. he's frustrated with both sides for botching the peace deal.

>> the increasing militarization on the ground and the clear lack of unity in the security council have fundamentally changed the circumstances for the effective exercise of my role. >> he was extremely critical of the syrian government and the syrian president for refusing to negotiate. but he says the united nations is also to blame. we're getting a brand-new perspective on the scare in the air at reagan international airport. here are the recordings from one of the plane's cockpits. >> dick, are you with me? >> yeah. i'm with you. on the river. >> 3329 turn south heading 18. 3329, traffic heading to your left. >> according to the "washington post," three planes nearly collided over washington, d.c. because the air traffic controllers got confused during bad weather. the faa confirmed the planes got way too close for comfort. the agency insists they were never in danger of crashing.

and this dog will remind you of a pint sized lassie. chihuahua named bell being hailed a here roar for finding two girls lost in the woods. it happened in georgia. a neighbor brought bell into the woods to help with the search. when she detected the little girls' scent, she went nuts. wagging her tail and jumping in the air. the girls were missing for several hours. thanks to bell, they were found safe and sound. >> brian: wow. and what would you know about a chihuahua? >> oh, i don't know. i may know something about a chihuahua. >> steve: you're the first person who ever showed up with her dog. >> makes a nice accessory. >> brian: is that a characteristic of a chihuahua to be that heroic and if so, could they get a tv series? >> i wouldn't trust my dog to do that. she's a beautiful dog, but not too bright. i got to be honest.

>> my dog specializes in pooping in the kitchen. >> steve: most dogs do. come on over here. let's do a handoff with the dog. hello? somebody come pick her up. geraldo, let's talk about what's going on -- here, come on. >> she won't bite. >> brian: what about the chick-fil-a thing. >> erica and i have the best marriage, we're about to celebrate our 9th anniversary. we had our last argument the night before last. i said that i believe that the owner of chick-fil-a had a right to say his mind, the right to spend his money, to lobby as he feels right, that he sincerely believes that same sex marriage is wrong. and so erica said to me, what if this was 50 years ago in the south and there was a white southerner who sincerely believed that black people shouldn't use the same water fountain or the same men's room?

would i feel as open minded about his freedom of speech? and that this is an issue so fundamental, the civil rights of gay people to marry anybody they want to, that this is represencible what he's doing and she is therefore, opposed to what governor mike huckabee did with the appreciation day, et cetera. and i thought it was a pretty good comeback. in 50 years, our attitudes toward gay marriage are evolve so long rapidly. >> brian: you know what you say? i will look at what the owner of that company says and how he believes about it in your wife's case, race relations and i will choose to go there or not go there. but i will not demand they shut the place down. i will not say, get out of my city. >> well, there are -- that is even more nuanced than you state right there. it is one thing for me as a private citizen to say, i boycott it. i hate them, i'll picket in

front of them. i'll do whatever i can to lower the business. it's quite another thing for an elected official to use the power of the government to ban a business from coming in. i think that's the distinction. i think what's happening in boston is awful. i think the city council president here in new york, christine quinn, is way out of line trying to ban the franchises from coming in. i don't think that the politicians can use the power of government to dictate the political beliefs of the owner of a business. >> do you think this is good or bad for chick-fil-a? >> i think chick-fil-a, this is a very traditional, particularly in the deep south, 1600 franchises, over time the arresteddor of the -- ardor of the conservative christians might dim somewhat. but i think they'll be fine. it's interesting. today's lesbian kiss in or gay kiss in, i think they have the right, absolute right to do that, as long as they don't block traffic. >> steve: they got to buy something first. >> they don't have to buy

anything. >> brian: you can't just show up at a police and make out. have you done that? >> i do it all the time. >> steve: because he's geraldo rivera. >> hey, baby. >> steve: we'll be listening to you on the radio. >> thank you. this weekend i have the inside scoop on what's happening with the michael jackson family. katherine jackson was kidnapped by those alleged. why? to get the queue and get their hands on michael's money. >> brian: harry reid doubling down on his attacks on mitt romney. >> let him prove he has paid taxes because he hasn't. >> steve: we want to do know. >> brian: can harry reid say anything he wants, even if it's not true? is that legal? that's next. >> his days of 'n sync may be

>> brian: war of words right now, the top democrat in the senate, harry reid, and mitt

romney, harry reid says mitt romney has not paid taxes in ten years. unproven accusations against mitt romney because he says he hasn't done this. is that indeed a crime? listen to the accusation. >> the word is out that he hasn't paid any taxes for ten years. let him prove that he has paid taxes because he hasn't. >> well, it's time for harry to put up or shut up. harry is going to have to describe who it is he spoke with because of course that's totally and completely wrong. >> brian: so who is right? can senator reid get away with saying whatever he wants and making the other person have to prove it? in this case, mitt romney? here to weigh in is former federal prosecutor doug burns. is he accusing mitt romney of breaking the law? if he does that, is he in legal trouble? >> i can't believe, honestly, that he would turn around and say somebody called me up, who was an investor in bain capital, and told me that mitt romney did not pay taxes for a period of ten years. there is a lot of wiggle room in there because there is a big

difference between avoiding taxes, and i've prosecuted and defended many tax cases in the federal courts. and tax evasion, which is criminal. so the wiggle room is in there. but here is the problem, from a defamation standpoint, seriously, if you're accusing somebody of doing a crime, that can be what we call defamation per say, which is easier to prove. and moreover, the fact of the matter is, is that he says, he should come forward and prove it? wait a minute. i mean, last time i checked, pretty basic due process principle and the world i've lived in for 26 years, if somebody accuses you of something, the accuser has to prove it, and by the way, most important of all, the person who is accusing you must be identified and you must have a chance to confront them. confrontation clause. so this hypothetical, what's taking place here mixes examine matches all -- and matches all kinds of legal process, accusing somebody of a crime, i really just can't believe he did it.

>> brian: these are public figures. how often does this end up in litigation? >> that's a really good point. under "new york times" versus sullivan, the supreme court said when you sue a public figure, when a public figure sues for defamation, it's higher standard. actual malice that you specifically knew that it was false. what's amazing, another footnote, is harry reid says, i don't know whether this is true or false. legally, i can't believe he did that. he'd be in better shape, the normal defense is, i thought it was true. saying i don't know if it's true or false is wrecklessly disregarding whether it's true. >> brian: you should not have to say anything else after that. thanks so much. this is going to be playing out all weekend. coming up, police arrest a homeowner who was just trying to protect his own property. why in the world would they do that? then kara is getting 'n sync with joey fatone. first, more from gloriana. here is "unset loving."

>> steve: fox news alert. brand-new monthly unemployment numbers are about to come out. we're going to turn over to "fox business" network for complete coverage of the numbers and what they will mean for the country moving forward. here we go to fox business. >> good morning, everyone. i'm stuart varney with a special fox business report. we are less than one minute away from the most politically potent economic report of the year so far. we're about to get the true picture on america's job market as of right now. if jobs are the key issue in this election, this report that's about to be released will have an impact on that election. we know that the economy is slowing. 1 1/2% growth. that's all we've got. we know consumer spending has dried up in the last two months, another sign of weakness. now the jobs report. there are two numbers in particular that you must watch very, very closely. we'll bring them to you in a matter of seconds. one, how many new jobs did we create last month?

two, what is the unemployment rate? those are the key numbers to watch and we have them for you in just a matter of seconds. they're about to be released. now, let's go live to rich, at the labor department. he has the numbers in a matter of seconds. go, rich. >> 163,000 jobs added in the unemployment rate increases to 8.3%. a strange phenomenon here to be explained by simply two different surveys, two different groups of people. so job increases of 163,000 and the unemployment rate increases to 8.3%. >> you're right. that is extraordinary news in itself. we were not -- i don't think any analyst was looking for 163,000 jobs. that is still a relatively weak jobs report with three years after the end of the recession. we should be creating 2 or 300,000 a month. but 163,000 is better than expected.

a rise in the unemployment rate, that's a very important headline, which will be picked up widely. rich, i know you've dug more deeply into the numbers. what is the so-called real unemployment rate? i believe the technical name is u 6. what's that? >> that's what you include folks who aren't looking for work. they're unemployed or don't think they can find a job. that unemployment rate is 15% and increased from last month at 14.9%. so an increase there. >> do we know if anyone or what number of people came into the labor force or dropped out of it? i think that's the labor participation rate. >> another strange number here when you put them all together. labor force decreases by 155,000. that's not a good number. >> 155,000 fewer people in the labor force and the unemployment rate goes up to 8.3%. that's an extraordinary contradiction. is there anything else in the numbers i should know about? government jobs versus private

enterprise, manufacturing versus services? >> private sector adds 172,000 jobs. the government fell by 9,000, much of that postal employees. 6,000 coming from state governments. when you look at private service jobs, 148,000 manufacturing, up 25,000. it also utilities lost 8,000. most of that coming because of a labor dispute. >> all right. rich, thank you very much. to repeat, the headline numbers, the most important numbers are these: 163,000 new jobs created last month. the unemployment rate went up to 8.3%. charles payne joins me now. overall characterization of the report, charles? >> sigh of relief. matches the adp report earlier in the week which was better than expected. listen, when we came into the week, it was 100,000. 163,000, we break out the confetti examine balloons. you made the point earlier, with respect to regular recovery we've experienced in america. this is a woefully low number, but good enough that right now,

equity futures, stock market, looks like it's going to have a robust opening. but still a whole lot of contradictions. the june number was revised lower. so let's keep in mind that there could be some anxiety about sharing this number until we get a revised. >> i think the administration would -- we've not heard their response because the number has been released. i think the administration will pick strongly on the plus in the number of jobs created, 163,000. but you got to explain a rise in the unemployment rate. 8.3%. three months before the election. that's not good news. >> that's not good news. i think this points to one thing, stewart, that we keep debating what kind of economy we should have and the president keeps talking about building one that's built to last. we already have an economy that's built to last. let's just unleash it. >> real fast, that revision of the previous month, it was 80,000. down to 64,000. that's anemic at best. we'll see how they react to this in washington and on the campaign trail. there will be reaction.

all right. that is it for this fox business special report. i'll repeat, 163,000 new jobs. 8.3% unemployment. continuing coverage throughout the day. varney and company begins at 9:20. >> steve: all right. stuart varney doing double duty, joining us from fox business. let's go down to chris wallace. i'm sure you will listening. chris, so the bad news is the unemployment rate is now up higher. it's at 8.3%. what's interesting is stuart reported 163,000 new jobs, that's good, but 155,000 people left the job force. >> yeah. it's a little bit weird because you would think if fewer people left the job force, the unemployment rate would go down, because the number of unemployed would be a smaller percentage. but i don't know. doesn't make sense to me. people will have to puzzle over this one. the answer politically is i think there is something for

everyone. obviously the romney camp and republicans will pick on the 8.3% unemployment. again, put this in perspective. there has not been a president reelected with unemployment over 7.3%. that was reagan in 84. over 7.2%. fdr in 1936. so politically, we're in uncharted water. having said that, the president and the white house will hang their hat on 163,000 jobs created, which is more than double what was created last month and they'll say, well, we were in a trough, but things are beginning to pick up now. >> kara: why do you think the market is kind of reacting favorably? >> first of all, let me hedge this by saying if i knew, i'd get a real job, kara. >> steve: we're waiting on that. >> having said that, i think look, this is better than expected. that's the answer, is that all the projections were 100,000 jobs created. it's 163,000. while as stuart said in absolute terms that does not begin to cut

into unemployment, on the other hand, it is substantially better than what people expected. so that's good news. >> brian: all right. chris, i think you did very well and you could be close to getting that real job you strive for. let's talk about david axelrod who will be your guest this weekend on fox news sunday. i'm just fascinated to see, seems like governor romney walked into a trap again by now defending the fact that he did pay taxes over the last ten years without actually releasing his taxes, that all because of senator harry reid's statement. correct? >> yeah. and also just general pushing by the main stream media. but it's going to be -- we have an exclusive interview with david axelrod. we'll talk to him about these economic numbers, the good, the bad and the august complete also talk about -- and -- the ugly, and will thank is a real key. they know they're not going to have a good economic story to tell by november. the fact is, unemployment is going to be way over what any president has been reelected with since the 1930s.

so one of the things they're saying is, well, maybe our record isn't as good as it could be, but look at mitt romney and he's out of touch. he's a rich guy. he doesn't pay all the taxes that you pay. he wants to have more tax cuts for rich people like himself. so they're going to say, yeah, you may not be crazy about us, but this other guy is worse and we'll talk to david axelrod about that on sunday. i have an interview with ted cruz, who is the new it boy in republican politics. the tea party favorite who won that republican primary, a stunning upset over the lieutenant governor in texas. ted cruz will be our exclusive guest on sunday. >> steve: fantastic. we'll be tube side for you. >> and kara, i just want to say that it's a pleasure to work on a show with you. do i remind you of simon cowell at all? >> no. in a very good way, no. >> that's good. >> brian: that's a favorable comparison. in other words, she likes you. >> i do. i like you.

>> you didn't like simon cowell? >> kara: i did, but you know, he's not as smart as you are. >> steve: good answer! you're good at this. you should be in washington. >> thank you. >> bye, guys. >> brian: now to your headlines. police arresting three suspected members of al-qaeda in spain who said -- the cops said they had enough explosives to blow up a bus. they were believed to -- at least the twosuspects practicing flying small ultralight planes and using drones. >> steve: they have drones now? >> brian: i guess so. >> steve: meanwhile, florida man apparently trying to protect his property after two men allegedly tried to break into his shed in the middle of the night. he's facing charges for shooting at them. thomas says he had break-ins on his property before and he had had enough. he shot one of the guys in the leg and then fired at their get away truck. >> two guys, one guy was on the

other side of the van. it was dark. it was late. just a bad situation. >> steve: so he was wearing shorts. florida law says you can shoot if you feel like you're in imminent danger. the attorney general says when the men started to run, he wasn't in danger anymore. if he is found guilty, he could face up to 15 years behind bars. >> brian: talk about backfiring, left wing blogs think progress.org back pedaling after posting this picture of a melting street lamp, claiming it was global warming. finding it was a dumpster fire was to blame. particularly embarrassing for several liberal bloggers who retreated them to senator james inhofe. they were trying to knock his belief that global warming is nothing but alarmist. there is no global warming. inhofe says he was i moosed by the ill-fated decision. >> kara: we already know that women live longer than men.

now we know why. british researchers just finished a study that found men cells are more prone to flaws when they reproduce. and to make matters worse, most men pass those bad cells onto their sons. bad news for you. here is the catch, women also have a flaw in their dna, but it's a good one. female babies don't inherit bad cells. the dna knows better and simply ignores them, proving women are smarter. >> brian: true. in other words, knew mito con degree i can't are better than ours. >> steve: when they're not doing great olympics. >> kara: they're proving that women rock. >> steve: they are indeed. meanwhile, let's find out what kind of a day is in store. we look for the big -- >> brian: billie jean won the tennis match, so we knew women are better. >> steve: some of the heavy thunderstorms moving through portions of -- let's see there. we've got tennessee and kentucky at this hour, back through portions of the mid missouri

examine mississippi valley. and the current temperature outside, lot of 70s on the map. it's going to warm up. kara, where do you live now? >> i just came from maine. i live in l.a. >> steve: beautiful day in maine. temperature wise. and as for l.a., 70 if you're in the central plains states, another hot, dry day. no rain in sight. they really need it for the crops and the people. 19 minutes before the top of the hour. >> brian: we told you at the top of the show, kara's dad used to be a congressman and people are still talking about this campaign ad. >> steve: that's right. >> brian: that's him. >> kara: that's my dad! wow. up next, why my dad's ad resonated with the american voters, both then and now. >> brian: first, let's see who is coming up this weekend on "fox & friends." dave briggs has memorized the tease. >> i hope so, brian. there is no prompter. coming up this weekend, lots of stuff. she has no gun, she has no badge, but she's been fighting crime for over 30 years. we'll talk to a sketch artist who broke a new guiness world

campaign when he was running for senate here in new york two years ago. >> when congress used this card to vote, but they have turned it into the most expensive credit card in the world with no limit and you get the bill. it's a ticking time bomb that cripples the economy, stops job creation, and will make us poor. i'm a certified public accountant running for the u.s. senate to get spending under control. >> steve: all right. >> kara: how was that ad? >> steve: i bet you liked it. >> kara: i liked it a lot and i'm going to tell this guy to go easy 'cause that's my dad. let's ask political strategist and managing director for campaign grid, jordan lieberman. hi. >> hi. >> kara: what do you think of my dad? be careful. >> i think he's a great guy and a great ad. >> kara: very good answer. very good answer. >> we're done. no. the great thing about the ad was this it was the right ad at the right time. it was talking about -- really beating up on congress and beating up on the whole idea of debt and credit cards. a tea party theme without going too far. it was funny and intellectual,

which is exactly what new yorkers need. >> kara: and bipartisan. it's not really about any -- >> steve: everybody wants to take washington's credit card and cut it up. >> kara: exactly. >> steve: jordan, there are so many ads out right now from obama and romney. we've got snippets from both campaigns. we're going to run them together and then get your assessment of them after this. >> instead of hiring workers from his own state, romney outsourced call center jobs to india. he cut taxes for millionaires like himself while raising them on the middle class. and left the state $2.6 billion deeper in debt. so now when mitt romney talks about what he'd do as president -- >> i know what it takes to create jobs. >> remember, we heard it all before. >> i know how jobs are created. >> in massachusetts i found a balance badly out of balance. we cut our spending. everyone in the four years i was

there as governor, we balanced the budget. i want to use the experience to balance the budget. we believe in our future. we believe in ourselves. we believe the greatest days of america are ahead. >> believe in the america you built. believe we can build it again. >> steve: all right. jordan, what did you think? we'll start with romney. >> great ad. all about staying positive. he's doing it. he's introducing himself as a bipartisan leader who balanced the bum jet and left massachusetts in a better place. >> kara: and what did you think about obama? >> he hit in the right spot. for that ad to work, you have to believe that outsourcing jobs kills jobs in america. that's a bit of a gamble. we'll find out if that works. >> steve: you're a good man for dropping by from campaign grid. >> kara: good to see you. >> steve: thank you. >> kara: when we come back, gloriana will perform the song "kiss you good night." first, let's check in with bill hem tore see what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> well done tay. nice to see you. >> kara: thanks, i'm getting the hang of it now.
