i have three senses left. >> can you feel. >> wow, yes, and try to get through the show, but luckily talking about medicare and it seems appropriate. >> i'm he wieligible. >> and it's interesting, mike, you're the demographic, it will not range for maybe 55 or older, but anybody 55 to start thinking about it. >> 54. >> because you're young, care-free, not thinking about that medicare. >> absolutely, so, paul ryan was at the villages, one of our favorite spots in florida yesterday, and brought along his 78 year-old mom and he talked about what he believes president obama will do. >> here is what the president won't tell you about his medicare plan. about obamacare. the president raids 716 billion dollars from the

medicare program to pay for the obamacare program. do you think raiding medicare to pay for obamacare is an achievement? >> no. >> do you think empowering a board of bureaucrats to cut medicare an achievement? >> no. either do i. medicare should not be used as a piggy bank for obamacare, medicare for our seniors, end of story. >> perhaps the conversation should start there, the seniors, there will be no changes to your medicare plan, as you pointed out. it's those 54 younger that should begin to pay attention and i think most acknowledge that it's not going to be around that much longer, medicare, part a, is bankrupt by 2023. something needs to be done. >> aren't they saying the other thing, the other guy has gotten medicare, and the president was up in new hampshire campaigning and listen, obamacare covers

medicare, listen. >> i still believe you shouldn't go bankrupt. and i'm actually kind of fond of the term obamacare. i fought for that bill because i cared. because i cared about the 6 1/2 million young people who can now get insurance by staying on their parents' plan. their plan makes seniors pay more so they can give another tax cut to rich folks that need a tax cut. >> is that the first time we've heard him say obamacare. >> maybe flip it around. >> own it. why run away from it, there's nothing-- >> be proud of it. >> and nothing pejorative about that term, so why not say yes, it was my signature legislation and it's called obamacare now. it does makes sense. >> doesn't poll well, that may

be one of the reasons he hasn't mentioned it on the stump and hasn't owned up to that determine, as well as the american people still want it tossed out. >> meanwhile, you remember first that joe biden had a rough week of a gaffe-filled-- >> and actually, it wasn't just one gaffe, there were a few different gaffe's. >> i must have missed them. >> yes, you did, and you know, we talked about yesterday, he is at home in delaware and taking a little timeout. >> we call it a timeout, we parents. >> you're on timeout. >> sit in a corner. let's look back at the week that joe biden wishes was not. >> they need us to go out there and make sure, ladies and gentlemen, with you and i mean this, with you we can win north carolina, and if we do, we win the election! >> i have more to say, but i'm saying too much already because these guys, these guys get me something a little bit and you're going to have

trouble translating all of this, so-- because she's going to have tendinitis by the time-- >> he's going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, unchain wall stre street, going to put you all back in chains. >> y'all. >> the first one by the way if case you didn't catch it, we are going to win north carolina when he's in virginia that was one of them. >> missing the century this week wasn't the best either for joe biden. so our friend scott rasmussen polled folks, asking them who is better fit to be the president of the united states, if something should happen? paul ryan or joe biden? >> those are interesting numbers, look. >> and paul ryan has been the nominee for a week and that's a pretty shocking number. >> and 14.

>> 14 years seven terms and those numbers are evenly decided. >> shouldn't the current vice-president should be be way ahead, taking over the presidency and in the business basically of politics for over 30 years. >> you make a good point. i guess that he's getting -- you could argue that paul ryan is getting a bump from the name, but you argue that experience should count for more than two negative points. >> the question who is most suitable, qualified to take over this point to almost president? instantly. >> as for joe biden's gaffes, charles krauthammer made an interesting analogy and those of you who are not baseball fans, manny ramirez, a former red soxster, it makes your head explode sometimes as a fan, a reporter says some things, does some things that just don't make sense. out that have was born the term, manny being manny and ridiculous things and shock it up to manny, manny.

charles being a huge baseball fan and pretty good analyst as well, compare the two. >>'s an embarrassment. the only reason i found it hard to take it seriously and take umbrage because the guy is so off the wall he's sort of expected. he's like manny ramirez from the red sox. you know, he catches an out with only one out in the inning and men on base, he tosses it into the stands. manny being manny. and this guy-- there's a fitness problem here, the bar for bide sn so low because of the crazy stuff he says, you ask yourself is this the guy you want a heartbeat away. >> biden being biden, joe being joe. >> ooh we're going to ask ann coulter, does it hurt the president? does he need someone with the

attention with the attention with the gaffes. >> he's a pit bull rather than a gaffe machine. >> does it distract from the issues. >> the argument is that it makes them-- >> now are the chains comment i think was off the re reservati reservation, that may be the first one that actually hurt the brand. >> at least seven militants have been killed by a u.s. drone attack where two vehicles were targeted, we're told. in the northern region nan area considered to be protected-- protecting rebels, tied to the taliban and al-qaeda in an area that allegedly killed five rebels. and julian assange is expect today make his first statement after ecuador agreed to grant him asylum. at the ecuador embassy in london where he's been holed up. trying to avoid extradition to sweden and turned over to the

of >> president obama and mitt romney working hard to sell themselves to the all important female voting block. by firing up a multitude of attack ads. at a recent cnn-orc poll found

that women today would vote for president obama 53% over mitt romney's 44% if the election were held now. so, who will come out the winner in november? well, joining us to debate this is columnist and author of "out numbered", chronicles. and ladies, thanks for being here, to talk about the all important topic. i want to start with you, because you wrote an interesting article for foxnews.com. i recommend everybody check it out. you say republicans have a problem with women, female voters, what is it? >> i think historically if you look back through the elections throughout time. women have gone democrat. they lean democrat because in a lot part the feminists say that the democrats have been their ali, and exchanged the values of self-sufficient if i and autonomy instead of

relying on men, now, they're relying on government to be their big daddy or whatever you call it. right now is a different time. a lot of women are out of work and female entrepreneurs are impacted negatively by obamacare and i think that barack obama, if i were to make a guess now, would you pull out a lot of the female vote, particularly, a lot of the unmarried women, perhaps more of the married women would go toward mitt romney, but the enthusiasm among women for obama will be substantially less than for other presidents. >> christy, there's a lot to respond to. what is most important to democratic women. is it right now the economy and jobs or is it some of the social issues, abortion, things like that, the obama campaign is making hay within the attack ads? >> well, i think for everyone, the economy is certainly the most important issue and i think that's where you see that women are choosing the democrats because they understand that the romney-ryan economic policy are going to be vast for them and for the family, don't take

a look the at the romney tax plan that's going to make 95% of us pay on average about $2000 for a middle class family with a couple of kids and that's something that they are he' saying, we just can't afford that, we literally can't afford that in this economy, we need that to pay for grocery, gas and that sort of thing and appreciate the fact that president obama has made women gain in the work force, a priority administration. the very first bill he they signed into law, the pay fairness act which allows women to sort of have more advantages and to be able to-- >> sure. >> and so, jedia, here is what's interesting, if you look back at the polls in 2008, president obama beat john mccain and the female vote by 13%, today the poll we showed in the intro, 11%. very little change it seems in how women feel about the president or how they support him, i should say, even despite these tough economic

sometimes. >> i think a lot is going to change in the next he three months, a lot is going to depend on the convention and paul ryan reenergize: there are 800,000 more women today than when barack obama took office and women are often heads of households and writing the paychecks-- writing the checks out. they're the ones balancing the budget, seeing the gas prices rise and they're very in touch with all of these things, so if people don't feel that those things will affect the election, they're wrong. 53% of the country is pro-life as opposed to 41% that's pro choice. i don't think that those social issues led, for example, that was a bad act that enabled frivolous lawsuits. the reason that republicans proposed that, because it was a bad act. and-- >> i want to give christy the last word, about ten seconds for you to wrap it up. >> i don't believe that women are going to be voting for

romney-roin budget where they have consistently ignored women's rights. they have done everything from preventing access to equal pay to extending access to health care and day care-- >> and access, sorry have to leave it there, ladies, obviously, we'll debating this for two months. >> and eight american service members were killed by afghan forces, why are soldiers there turning on our nation's hero? and love exposed this woman accused using tax dollars for her date. ♪

it makes the afghans and it provides the taliban a talking point in a propaganda talking point they use over and over again. mullah omar released a statement that says just that, it's a deceptive deadline. they're not transitioning, they're defeated and what 2014 means, and he's saying that not just to the afghan people, hey, americans are going away, we're going to be here, turn your guns on them and show your support for us and that the throb aliban is the top dog. >> dave: you've been there training, and some suggest that it's mission creep and the mission far outlived the purpose and get out sooner and withdraw even quicker. what needs to change? >> well, the difficult piece is, this is, you know, it's not a -- they're not easy solutions to this. the best solution is to partner closer with afghans,

create a stronger bond, but at this point, a drawdown is inevitable, it's going to happen and so we just need to give, our commanders every opportunity to provide force protection to do heavier vetting with the afghans they are he' working with and more training of our guys to see the signs when a situation like this might come about about you you're going to-- i even well up thinking about it, because the guys there are going to face even more danger as the time is closer to the end. >> dave: it hurts every time we see one of our boys lost there, i can't imagine your emotions and afghan, the latest poll shows that afghanistan, china, iran, you name it, they are not our biggest threats it national security, but the economy and our debt are. i'm surprised to see that far exceed even cuts to the military. the economy, a threat to national security, is it and why so? >> yeah, that's a poll that was actually done by my organization, concerned vets

for america, and it was polled 800 veterans and i think it's because they know ultimately what maintains our strength, and our military strength. it doesn't mean we don't think that afghanistan is important, of course we do, thinking about every guy over there. at the end of the day it's that economy that feeds our military power, if we don't address our debt, a threat to our national security fwe don't get it back on track, veterans know that and that's what concerned vets for america tries to talk about. >> one of those tough decisions is cuts to the military. regarding sequestration and the mastif cuts coming down from the military. and how concerned are you about those? >> you've got to be concerned about them. panetta calls them a meat ax to the defense budget. exactly what they are, and veterans knows there's waste in the defense department. we intoed to reform defense spending and you don't do that by chopping across the board.

think, okay, maybe here is reason. they're more efficient. in other words, would cost less, wouldn't have to pay prisoners much. it's going to be a more effective way, you know, as far as cost is concerned? >> sir, i'd love to believe that, but. >> mike: all right. >> in looking at the 2011 financial report last night. available online for anyone to look at ut unicorps, lost 1.8 million dollars, 2010, they lost 36 million dollars, 2009, 56 million dollars. >> mike: my gosh. >> not only that, the same uniforms that we manufacture that they manufacture, the army combat uniform, they're selling that back to the government at almost $5 more than what we manufacture. >> mike: i was looking at that. >> i want to mention, also -- i'd like to mention the army combat uniform trouser, they made over 2 million of those and the other nine contractors

put together don't come close to 2 million. so, those jobs that are manufacturing those 2 million could be put back into the private sector. >> mike: i was looking at some examples that have. the same coat made by prisoners cost more, like by $5, over your folks making it. >> it's absolutely -- it's unbelievable that that's occurring, but that's exactly true. that information you can find it as well, out on government websites, we have prisoners being paid, less than $1 an hour, and there's all kinds of numbers thrown out there 20, 30 cents a shower. >> how do you get a stopped? >> i beg your pardon? >> how do you get it stopped? >> a professor segment that i just heard this morning, the romney-ryan ticket is behind on women's vote. predominantly our work force is women. if somebody could grb a hold of the stories and get back

my favorite story of the day is 300 pounds, too big to play peewee football? a 12-year-old in texas was denied a place on his team because he exceeded the weight limit. >> did we mention, he's also more than six feet tall? he was excluded from the peewee team. is that fair? you had a lot to say about this yesterday. let's talk right now to that young man, an elijah earnhardt and mother scindy, thanks for being here. >> this has caused a firestorm in your hometown there. did you think that you should be playing peewee football with kid much littler than you? >> well, most of the kids on my team are my friends, and that's the first reason i wanted to play for them. >> and how did it feel, elijah, to be told that you were too big to play with your friends? >> i was kind of sad because i

president bushed for this for three weeks and then told me at weigh in i couldn't play. >> alisyn: in fact, we had up there a quote of yours a moment ago, that said i was humiliated. why did you feel humiliated. >> because he pointed me out of line and one of the coaches said, coach, he's not going to make weigh-in, so send him out. >> dave: being big as you know and i certainly know, being big is an asset in football, something that normally makes you the best kid on the field and rarely kept from the field and cindy, from what i read in the rule book, says if the player exceeds the stated weight limits, the player must display the league approved symbol and approved location, only be allowed to play in the following positions, offensive and defensive line. elijah wants to play on the defensive line where he excels. so, does he really violate the

league rule of 135 pounds? >> i don't believe so, no, not in my opinion. and if so, they needed to basically, you know, state that a lot better in their rule book. >> alisyn: but elijah, what about what critics say that you might hurt somebody. it could be dangerous or a little 99 pound kid to bump into you? >> yeah, and that's what they said, but i don't believe it. . >> dave: we reached out to the mesquite peewee football league and we're waiting for a response. but cindy, your sob gen gets to practi practice. >> he's going to meet men that are 6-8, 400 pounds and let him know, it's okay to play football, you know? and don't let his dreams, you know, go away because of what

they're doing to him and you know, they say that play middle school football, he's going in the 7th grade, but what everyone is failing to understand is. >> alisyn: yeah. >> he's still going to go up against the same sized boys. >> alisyn: well, hopefully he will learn all that have. thank you for sharing your personal story with us. has helped fund economic and environmental recovery. long-term, bp's made a five hundred million dollar commitment to support scientists studying the environment. and the gulf is open for business - the beaches are beautiful, the seafood is delicious. last year, many areas even reported record tourism seasons. the progress continues... but that doesn't mean our job is done. we're still committed to seeing this through.

>> dave: we start this morning with the run-up to the election, under 80 days now from the big day and if there's one positive development about the selection of paul ryan, as a vice-president, it appears we're going to focus on identifies, on important issues on how the candidates differ and hopefully move on from the small ball. we talked earlier in the program about the medicare approaches and how they differ. and now we are he also going to focus on the economy and how these two plan to get the economy back on track and starting with mitt romney. i tell you, it is confusing. one guy says i have the best economic plan and the the other guy, no, no, i have the best economic plan. >> dave: but they're very different, no middle ground. >> mike: you know what i'm talking about. >> alisyn: some of the plans are 100 pages long, an as you know. >> mike: let's give you a snippet of each candidate's plan, here we go. >> we have tried to kind of trickle down snake oil before. it didn't work then, it won't

work now, it's not a plan to create jobs, it's not a plan to reduce our deficit. it's not a plan to strengthen our economy. it's not a plan to strengthen the middle class. >> the romney-ryan plan for a stronger middle class is designed to get this economy growing again. 12 million jobs, grow the economy at 4%. and this would create 713,000 jobs right in florida alone. the key to doing it is to get us back to work. we have lots of energy in america, let's use this energy in america, so we can create jobs and lower our gas prices. >> as the both are throwing numbers around, i'm not an economist. which one is right. >> alisyn: right, so luckily now, it's helpful when her experts weigh in on this and there are 400 independent economists who say, come forward to say that they now

ck the mitt romney, paul ryan economic plan and here is their endorsement. we enthuse the iastically endor governor mitt romney's economic plan to create jobs and restore economic growth while returning america to its tradition of economic freedom, principals, a more contained and less inrefuse seive government a greater reliance on the private sector a brothed expansion of opportunity-- and localities, and what's interesting about this, it's not the philosophical, i don't see them crunching numbers, that's not a financial plan. they did go on in their statement to talk about the financial aspects of that. >> dave: and we want to keep the folks awake this morning. not bog them down with numbe numbers. >> mike: that's what i'm saying, it's hard to figure out and confusing, and these are 4 independent-- >> 400.

congress and at the time, president obama said well, a lot of people want me to go around congress, but that's not the way our country work, not the way our constitution is written. so he said two years ago, he could not implement this administratively, he needed to go through the legislative process. now by some imperial fiat, barack obama decided he will indeed go around congress and use this, of course, as an election pander, an attempt to have these beautiful photo ops and wonderful stories of these human beings who are, have been waiting and have been identifying in the shadows as we hear, but the problem is, even for those who support the dream act, marco rubio, others, this didn't go through the proper channels, it didn't go through the legislative process, that's a violation of our constitution. but then it presents enormous security problems just as the experts have been saying. dhs has issued no standard

regulations for evaluating the documents that are presented. a lot on the left have been saying, oh, they have to bring a passport and prove their identity. that's not you true at all. they could use school records, medical records. what does that show? it doesn't really show anything. it shows they went to a school and doesn't show their identity. and we need to look at the hijackers for 9/11, they used fake i.d.'s and driver's license to plow the planes into the building. >> dave: so your krn is for security and also for those who have done it the right way. >> yes. >> dave: and who are doing it the correct way? >> i'm glad you mention that had because we see these photo ops of the young people standing in line, but we don't see the photo ops of people around the world living in unimaginable horror, and they are waiting, they are a their life savings to go through the legal immigration process and waiting and waiting and those

who come here illegally are standing in line and getting work permits. i think that jan brewer has really done an incredible thing by basically calling the president on what i see is a bluff. you know, why are we as the governors being asked to threaten our public safety? why are we being asked to expend our public resources when there's not even a law on the books. there are laws on the books, actually, which say they can't do that, but the president has circumvented those laws and said for election, election purposes, i'm going to say that, you know, niece folks can essentially begin the path to citizenship. >> alisyn: it's a complicated issue, obviously, and big changes as evidenced this week. kate, thanks. >> thanks so much. >> dave: the poor economy taking a toll on small businesses across the country. up next, one small businesses owner tells us about the challenges that he's facing right now.

republicans who want to take kim's rights away, specifically abortion and in fact, we talked earlier this morning, a new poll out showed among female voters, president obama still leads. he leads mitt romney by 11 points, back in 2008. it was 13 points and today, it's 11 points. so, maybe social issues are more important to women than republicans think? >> and well, i think social issues are important, but i also think that women start thinking this through. and because in the long run what the obama administration wants to do is to have such debt in this economy that we're crippled and i think women are more worried in the long run on the scope about the health care that their children are going to get that their parents are going to get with the 15 panel. and make decisions about t their mother and father makes a knee replacement or intesty nal.

gaffes to manny being manny or biden being biden. >> he's an embarrassment. the only reason i found it hard to take it seriously and umbrage, the guy is off the wall and sort of expect it. like manny ramirez, you know, for the red sox. you know, he catches an out with only one out in the inning, and men on base and he tosses the ball into the stands. you know, it's manny being manny, so, this is a guy nobody takes seriously. i think there's a fitness problem here. the bar for biden is so low because of all the crazy stuff he says, you've got to ask yourself. is this a guy you really want a heartbeat away. >> alisyn: dave, i appreciate your primer on the sports analogy. >> dave: i thought maybe manny being manny goes over their head. >> alisyn: i read that as we were preparing in print and like huh. >> dave: and manny has been

and secondly, i think it turns out to be a more complicated and more even battle. generally speaking if the subject is medicare, that's going to help democrats because they're generally seen as the defenders, but the republicans have a good case on 716 billion taken out of medicare to help pay for obamacare and now you see romney and ryan both talking about the democrats, the president, and obamacare trying it turn medicare into a piggy bank. that's a pretty good argument and one that i think a lot of seniors didn't know. on the other hand, ryan and his plan accepted those 716 billion dollars they say that's part the of the law, he had to accept it as part of his budget saumgassumptions, bu talk about ryan and romney wouldn't, ten years be wouldn't be until 2023 would turn it into a premium support system and there are independent analysts who say that under that plan, seniors

would end up paying a higher share of health care costs out of pocket. so, there are two sides to the argument and interesting to see how it settles out. >> dave: you'll certainly get into on your show, you have ed gillespie, as well as robert gibbs, who will certainly be defending the president's medicare plans. will he, i assume, attempt to defend the vice-president, joe biden, after the disastrous week he had? >> we will give mr. gibbs an opportunity to defend joe biden and mr. gillespie a chaps to attack mr. biden. there are three big subjects, number one, medicare and debate over that, joe biden, is he a drag on the ticket or a plus to the ticket and also, romney's taxes, because he raised that issue again, when he said the last ten years he went back and checked and never paid less than 13% of his taxes, in any individual year, 13% in federal taxes, of

his income. so, you know, there are three big issues and we'll talk about that and where the campaign stands a week before the republican convention starts. >> i'm surprised that he did say that, the 13%. >> alisyn: that he introduced that. >> mike: i've never paid less than 13%. >> alisyn: you know, chris, we're burying the lead. why are we wasting time on the-- claim the yacht. >> it's been good talking to you guys. >> alisyn: come on. >> dave: is he the host of fox news sunday or life styles of the rich and famous. >> rick: the woman on the left is my sweet lorraine. my sweet wife lorraine there in the white on the left. >> alisyn: she looks beautiful and you're wearing your jaunty yacht wear, chris. >> i'm wearing my khakis, yes, i did get to spend, and i want to say, while you're bragging burr vacation, i'm not bringing up. >> alisyn: we're bragging about your vacation.

what's going on and this is really the future, is trying to get technology to support good teachers, so, good teachers have more instruments to get the students interested and get them to do their work and we can lower the drop-out rate and lower the failure wait and america to be competitive at the very top of education worldwide. >> and do public schools have the money for that sort of thing? >> you know, they do, alisyn, this is the great news again, about the solution, we've heard so much about the problems in schools in the the united states. this documentary that's going to be on fox tonight is going to be about the solutions and you're exactly on point and more is in north carolina, the new student came in and said we've got a little bit after budget crisis, but then he found a way simply not increasing staff, but to give every student, third through 12th a laptop and to use that laptop then to track exactly how they're doing in classes, how they're doing in every course and to give more support to the kids that need it, but for the kids that are doing great, alisyn to push

the color which is farm raised. >> you grill it. >> looking to grill it, on the tech grill. up to 900 agrees within 7 minutes. >> you put flesh down. i do, for the aesthetics of it, i want grill marks, i don't take the skin off there's nutritional value. >> mike: you use mango in your recipes, that's a great mix. >> mango. >> mike: and salmon. >> papaya, cucumbers, red, green and yellow peppers, and cilantro. >> would it be rude if i just took-- >> not at all. i love mango. >> which about that. >> a lot of flavors, a lot of textures and we take that, mike and spoon it over the salmon which is a ll olive oil on it. >> mike: salmon didn't take long? >> it doesn't. three minutes on each side. don't turn it. try it, mike. >> i love you.

you know what, too, eating salmon makes you smart. now why? >> why is that? >> they live in schools. >> i love this guy. >> mike: they work for scale. >> with the fruit and vegetables they are he' low in saturated fats and good for mental acuity. it's awesome. >> is it expensive. >> farm raised 6 to pound and wild $20 plus, but we all have to demand wild salmon because if we don't, eventually there won't be any wild salmon left. >> mike: yeah, the farms, fish get out into the population. >> they escape. >> mike: good to see you. >> i love you, too. >> a love connection. >> what's wrong with the bro hug. >> cooking up more than salmon are we? and coming up, we've heard a lot did-- go. >> alisyn: about paul ryan's medicare plan and then there's some criticism. are the attacks justified?

>> paul ryan's budget plan has of course come under closer scrutiny since he was named mitt romney's running mate. and some would dismantle medicare and take away from seniors, but do those claims actually bear reality? let's check. >> dave: here to help us separate fact from fiction,

president of the american enterprise institute and road to freedom, arthur brooks, good to see you, sir. >> good to see you you, too. >> number one, tax cuts only apply to the wealthiest americans, here is the the president in iowa. >> governor romney's big idea is a 5 trillion dollar tax cut on top of the bush tax cuts, a lot of which would be going to the wealthiest americans who have already been doing very well and here is the kicker, he's expecting you to pay for it. it. . >> dave: could the tax policy center found the top 20% of the romney plan get approximately $13900 tax break and the bottom would pay $160 more in taxes by 2015. and do you dispute those numbers? >> well, yeah, i mean, basically, here is the key thing to keep in mind.

you can't get a tax break if you don't pay any taxes. under obama, the percentage of americans who have no federal tax liability have skyrocketed. 50% of americans have no federal tax liability. you can't give them a tax break under the circumstances. what we're trying to do in this country we need to put our minds to, get out of the way of entrepreneurs, the way you do that is throwing up fewer barriers to basic entrepreneurship. we're not just talking about a few hedge fund managers or billionaires. we're talking about people who are trying to start landscaping businesses and open hardware stores and people who have tax rates that are in the zone that we're talking about trying to lower. so, the idea that this is just millionaires and billionaires getting a break, no way, this is out of the way of people getting the jobs and prosperity and growth that we've always seen or the only thing that can get us out of the recession and in point of fact, the obama plan has failed because it's put up barriers to basic

entrepreneurship. >> alisyn: let's talk about medicare and how people are saying that paul ryan's plan would change medicare as we know it. let's listen to the picture that debby wasserman schultz has painted if paul ryan's plan would come into effect. >> it would add more than $6,000 in premiums under paul ryan's proposal that mitt romney has embraced to seniors in medicare and would force us back to the dates for seniors that would-- that had been choosing between medicine and meals, and had them choosing between health care and paying their rent and literally surviving. >> and would senior citizen vz to choose between their medicine and meal? >> the thing that's going to wreck our economy is it not changing the medicare system to make it more responsible. what paul ryan is not to change anybody's medicare over 55 years old. they haven't had a chance to change planning. those under 55 will be changed

to a system that's sustainable. if we don't change it, it's going to be wrecked and then people are going to lose their coverage, especially poor seniors. >> alisyn: well, arthur brooks, from the american enterprise institute and author of "road to freedom" we appreciate you coming in. >> thanks for having me. >> dave: thank you, sir. the same group trying to take down fox news, say that navy seals don't have guts and up next, former navy seals responding to that criticism.

>> welcome back. the left wing organization media matters, you know them. is going after our nation's heroes, they are calling them gutless. for being critical over obama

administration, national security leaks. the group of retired navy seals is firing back. >> is this a political issue or an american one? ben smith is retired navy seal and featured in that video. put out by the group. and good to see you this morning, that video has now been viewed almost 2 million times on youtube, i'm sure you're please today hear that, nearly 80% of the people that watched it gave it the thumbs up. the issue before we get into the tweet is is this really a nonpartisan ad? there are links in this group to national and local republicans. >> and well, absolutely. we-- we're allowed our specific political proclivities. but outside of this issue, and outside of this issue, but inside this issue, this for op-sec there is no political affiliation, we've got democrats on here, too, liberals and they're coming out as well.

this is about america. this isn't about the letter in front of your name. because if you know, leaks get out there while we're doing our orangeses, we die. and if we go down, the next step is americans dying and there again, it doesn't matter whether there is an r or a d in front of your name, it's about america. >> and ben, it's kind of an obvious, could be an obvious answer here. how do leaks kill troops? >> well, it could be in a bunch of different ways. knowing what's there before it is could be foreign countries not trusting our country anymore. where they won't even work with us, so we don't have buy into the human intelligence aspect of getting our jobs done, to go even have missions to do. so, in giving out what we have in intelligence, the enemy

redoes, recalculates, replans and redoes their missions and we don't get to stop it, so it comes here and they kill americans. >> dave: so now we have the obama campaign calling this swift boating an and media matters, eric b. ehler tweets this. the former navy seals don't have guts to admit they're running a a g.o.p., anti-obama campaign. and calling navy seals gutless, how does it make you feel? >> being, i guess, guess i would be a certified man. so, i would have to officially say i rescind your man card and you should probably report to the nearest base and turn it in, being he's never worked for anything in his life. i mean, he's been like a music groupie and journalist that's never really achieved

anything, so, the way he does what he believes is, it's not hard to shine in relative gloom. so, he's got to put everyone down around him or say the most crazyiest thing so people will give him attention. so he's the shiny little button. and you know, i don't give him any credit. i'm not even giving him any ire. so, he doesn't have any respect so i can't talk to him as a man. >> mike: probably giving him too much air time around. >> exactly. >> mike: and speaking of giving credit. you give the president credit for sending seals in. >> yes, i mean, he's the man in office and it's supposed to be the buck stops there. and also, you know, if like, if it's his command, he's the president i totally-- we absolutely respect the office of the the presidency. and it just so happens that he is there now. and it's-- our issue isn't with him

specifically. we are a watch dog group na watches government or leaks in general. >> mike: yeah. >> and we're going to call them as we see them. whether it's romney, whether it was bush in the past or whether it was anybody or obama. if this is about americans. >> mike: american lifers. >> and leaking information does kill. >> mike: thank you so much. have a great sunday. >> dave: thanks for your service as well, ben. we will post that video on twitter again, nearly 2 million views, dishonorable disclosures on youtube, coming up. it was a week full of gaffes for joe biden, the vice-president. could they hurt president obama? and are democrats also training the g.o.p. in its so-called war on women? ann coulter, up early out in l.a. at the top of the hour. >> mike: and some terrifying moments for passengers on a united flight when the plane's engine catches fire. as they're taking off. tell you what happens. okay, here's the plan.

plan is better than the other guy's and it is up to us to study economics. did you ever study economics in high school, seriously or college? so, i think a lot of people will turn to the expertsnd say, which one do you like? >> alisyn: outsource it. >> dave: we will not beat you over the head with numbers but here's at least the two sides, and how they are framing the argument on the campaign trail. >> president barack obama: look, we have tried this kind of trickle-down snake oil before. it didn't work then and it won't work then and it's not a plan to create jobs, not a plan to reduce or deficit. not a plan to strengthen our economy, not a plan to strengthen the middle class. >> the romney-ryan plan for a stronger middle class is designed to get this economy growing again. [applause]. >> 12 million jobs. grow the economy at 4%.

this would create 713,000 jobs right in florida alone. the key to doing it is to get us back to work. we have lots of energy in america, let's use this energy in america so we can create jobs and lower our gas prices. >> dave: that of course is paul ryan at the villages in florida and he'll be in new hampshire tomorrow, rejoined with mitt romney, they did not think they'd be back together until the convention but maybe with the energy those two, you know, will get together, and said let's bring these two back together and expect the economy and jobs to be number one. >> alisyn: absolutely that is their selling point at the moment on the campaign trail. and let's get to your headlines, a "fox news alert" we have to get to now. we have learned there has been another deadly attack on nato troops in afghanistan this morning. three service members were killed in the eastern part of the country, after a bomb hit. no word on if these troops were american, this month alone, at

least 40 nato troops have been killed in afghanistan. and another "fox news alert" for you, right now, because wikileaks founder julian assange is expected to speak from the ecuadorean embassy, in london, at any moment. this is a live shot for you now. this will be his first public address since ecuador agreed to grant him asylum and he'll reportedly speak from a balcony there, because leaving the embassy would open him up to immediate arrest and extradition to sweden, something he has been trying to avoid for years now, out of fear that sweden would turn him over to the u.s., on espionage charges. we'll keep an eye on this and bring it to you. fire breaks out in the engine of a united jet moments after taking off from newark international airport. about 10 minutes into the flight to berlin, germany, the pilot announced the debris had gone into the engine, and frightened passengers said they circled in the sky for two hours to burn off fuel in order to land and thankfully the plane made it back to the airport safely and the faa said a blown tire is to

activity. we have had three storms that are out there, that we have been watching, one is helene and one is gordon and this one, right here, the one that potentially will be the most interesting for us. the name will be isaac and you will probably hear us talk about that a lot over the next number of days an models pulling it off towards the west and affecting the western antilles, puerto rico wednesday or thursday and could be a player for the u.s. sometime middle to the latter part of the following week. so we have plenty of time to watch it. isaac will be a name we'll talk about quite a bit. meanwhile, today we have rain showers moving across the appalachians now, towards the piedmont area of the carolinas and that will continue to pull towards the east and we have rain showers across the central gulf and that will be with us for the day and the north of that you will be dry and across parts of the west we'll continue to see the monsoonal activity across mostly areas of arizona and northern new mexico, and temperature wise, better than last weak, the west are cooling down quite a bit. still warm but certainly cooler

and texas, looking good as well and very nice conditions across the north. guys? >> alisyn: all right, looks nice, thanks, rick. all right, so let's talk about common sense, shall we? this is because an 8th grader in california, san bernardino, california was chastised by school officials almost expelled because she had pictures, photos on her school notebook. apparently this is not allowed if you are in an accelerated program as she is and, they said she had better lose the photos and the one on the right is the significant one, that is her brother, a military policeman and she loves having his picture on her notebook. >> there are a lot of schools don't want pictures on binders, because people bring in all sorts of crazy looking stuff like... justin bieber stuff. >> alisyn: and, you are not allowed to have photos. >> yes. you can't decorate your binder. >> dave: why single her out. to her point she was the only one removed from class, after a big back and forth over this they let the manufacture of her

military police officer brother stay and the picture of her soccer team had to go. but, do your point, this is for the accelerated students. we'll single out, instead of for their achievement, instead of honoring the military, we're going to single them out for distracting classmates. look, we understand their rules, regulations, schools have to have them, but, a little common sense and interpretation of those probably helps. >> not even a suspension, they thought of kicking her out. >> alisyn: suspension, that was on the table but i don't think schools need to have rules. i don't think they should have rules about... >> and, it is an asylum. >> alisyn: no, but decorate your notebook however you want, particularly if you are in the accelerated program. >> how about your locker, you can have pictures falling out? >> alisyn: it doesn't bother me. get good grades. get good grades, go to school. and you can do whatever you want to do.

>> alisyn: good for a gaffe a day or at least a week, and this past week, vice president joe biden's campaign stumbles have taken center stage. >> with you, and i mean this, with you, we can win north carolina. >> these guys get me going out there. and, you are going to have trouble translating all of this... because the poor lady, she's going to have tendinitis by the time she finishes. >> unchain wall street. gonna put y'all back in chains. >> dave: are biden's antics hurting the president or are they a welcome distraction author of "demonic" now in paper back joins us bright and early

from l.a. good morning, ann. >> good morning. >> dave: there are some who believe maybe with the notable exchange of the chains comment all the gaffes from joe biden are a welcome distract from the economy and from the issues. do you agree. >> >> that's the question? >> alisyn: is it possible he's an asset and not a liability. is that even possible? >> it is an excellent point, i think any distraction from the economy, from the jobless rate, from just the haplessness of the president is probably a big distraction and the big distraction to watch out for is a foreign policy october surprise, maybe allowing israel to attack iran because i think the president is going to need a hail mary pass before the election. and the other reason joe biden's gaffes aren't really detrimental to the president because the media is so playing a part in

this campaign and i think this is going to be the worst media bias we have seen since the 1992 election and bring back the old bumper stickers, the media vote bush, the media vote... and it is like sarah palin, who they describe as an utter airhead and she didn't say half the crazy things biden said and it was misstatement of fact after misstatement of fact an precisely one network mentioned the mistakes by joe biden. >> alisyn: now they are talking about the gaffes. the unchained one, that, you know, all of the different networks are covering that. have you seen bias in this past week with the gaffe? >> well, i have been traveling but in every airport i have been in, all i have seen are reports, because it is usually cnn are reports on mitt romney's taxes.

j there are a lot of those. >> but the gaffes are so distracting, does it give the obama team a shot in the arm if hillary clinton runs with him, or does it make the obama campaign look good at the last minute. >> i have had bets with friends for years, whether joe biden would replace joe biden with someone and a williparticularly hillary clinton, and a man who takes your place, if anything happens to you, and to admit it was a mistake, no, it never works. >> alisyn: and the messaging in campaign ads now, this week, back to women and which party would be better for women and, you know, the democrats hsaid t women's best interest at heart, certainly not women's health, they talk about, obviously, their stats on abortion and other things and it seems to be

working with women. the latest polls have suggested that president obama has a big lead over mitt romney. in terms of the female vote. there is one poll that perhaps you haven't seen and we wanted to show you in terms of stay-at-home moms. their approval of mitt romney is up. they approve only -- only 23% of president obama's presidency, but, i don't know if they are a big enough voting bloc to even count when the women's vote altogether is heading towards president obama's direction. >> well this is nothing new. there was a gender gap we kept hearing about with ronald reagan as well and, when both the democratic party and the media are fixated on which way the women are going, that is usually not a good sign for them, you know? let's talk about which way the country is going, women are a slight majority but are not the entire country and ronald reagan managed to win two landslides without inwinng the women's vote but it is, as you say, striking. not as if the women's -- it's

not the women's vote generically, it is the single women's vote and that is because single women look to the government to be their husbands and give them, you know, prenatal care and preschool care and kindergarten care and school lunches and -- these are not programs designed to appeal to bruce willis. >> alisyn: i'll let that germinate... >> dave: marinate. >> ann, thanks a lot. >> thank you. >> dave: coming up, one man takes the law into his own hands in order to get back his stolen bike and tapes it. >> you are going to get arrested. i have security on the way. i'm not letting you guys leave. >> he's here to tell us how his sting operation turned out. >> then is this media giving mixed messages about christianity? a report says church attendance is on the rise. how about that. father jonathan morris is here to talk about that. with the spark cash card from capital one,

>> good sunday morning, we look at the state of christianity and how it may sometimes be seen negatively, in the media. but, a recent report says the number of churches has increased and attendance at those churches actually on the rise, just a little bit. >> dave: joining us is fox news religion contributor father jonathan morris. good to see you, father. we bring up a "new york times" article, which recently stated conservative christianity has been compromised and liberal christianity simply collapsed. you suggest otherwise? >> i believe it is a very good article and the columnist is an excellent journalist and a

great, great author. what he is saying is the mainline protestant tradition, we think of methodists and presbyterian and anglican has definitely diminished, right, both the number of clergy and attendance but what we are seeing and is another article that showed, perhaps, something that should have been added in his report is that, yes, those mainline churches have been diminishing but mega churches or large churches are on the increase. do you guys know, that last week, 60 million americans attended church? that is more than the number of people throughout the whole year who stood in a college football stadium. that's a lot of people. >> alisyn: do you like the trend? the little church on your corner, the little protestant church on the corner may be diminishing and going away and the mega church is mushrooming. >> we can learn from it. the catholic church, for example, many churches are diminishing and others are

increasing and what we are seeing here is a lot of innovation of getting lay people, not just the clergy, to be actually involved in the ministry and the church and i think that is a good thing and another great stat we see in this washington examiner article, i'll put on facebook and twitter right after this, is that 33% of millennials, young people born after the year 1980 are attending church every sunday. 33%, now, we also see that usually people attend church more as they get older. that, i think is very hopeful. why is it hopeful? because it is always a good thing when young people are searching for spirituality. >> what do you think it is? if you look at the media, there is so much anti-church, television and radio and video and that... >> there is and sometimes that is the fault of the church because it is news when a church or a clergy member or someone else messes up and that is news and should be reported. last night i was coming back from a rehearsal in my

neighborhood, lower manhattan, probably the most secular area in the the country, perhaps. soho and there was a guy who was a homeless guy playing golf on the street. he gave me his -- i took his golf club from him, actually. i'll be honest. and, we used little milk cartons along this little alley and 100 people gathered around and i challenged anyone to try to got one in the milk carton into a bucket and the bet would be, if you -- if i beat you you have to go to church every week for four weeks. >> dave: and? >> 100 people lined up and it was a joke, a bet, but all of these people came up to me and these were all young people and said, where is the church? where is this church? and they didn't even know the church was there. all they need is an invitation. and everybody is where are the cameras and i'm dressed like this, and milk cartons. >> they thought it was candid

camera. >> dave: who needs the pga championship. >> you are the coolest priest ever. >> the point is people are longing for... >> exactly right. >> spirituality and when presented with it in a somewhat normal way. >> alisyn: a priest on a golf course with a golf club, that is the beginning of a joke a heard of a while ago. >> a priest, a rabbi... >> alisyn: and a golf club. >> dave: thank you, that is fascinating. >> i don't know why i told that story, but... >> we're wondering, too. coming up here's another story the father needs to hear. we told you about a 12-year-old who weighs 300 pound sidelined from the football field for being too big, we hear his side of the story and the happy ending ahead. >> alisyn: plus, remember the story abouthe t principal who refused to get the kids sing god bless the u.s.a. and she preferred a justin bieber song? now her staff is leaving in droves. we'll explain what that means. ♪ ♪ stand up next to you ♪ and defend her until the day

>> dave: is that you? >> alisyn: beautiful. you remember the story of the 300 pound 12-year-old, he's also

6'1.5" tall and he was banned basically from his pee-wee football team, for being too big and they said there was a size limit, nobody above 135 pounds could play and he and his mother objected and they said they didn't think it was the rule but he was thrown off. we have an update for you today because he came on fox and friends. >> i was kind of sad, because i practiced for this for three weeks and then, he told me at the weigh-in that i couldn't play. >> they say, you know, play middle school football. he's going in the 7th grade, but, what everyone is failing to understand is, he is still going to go up against the same size boys. >> dave: i flip-flopped again. >> dave: to be cool... >> if there is a rule that says you can... >> dave: there is not, the rule is if you are over 135 you have

to be an interior lineman and marked as a heavy player and that is the rule and technically by the book, i'm sure legally they are not covered here, the league. i understand the parents that don't want their kids to be hurt. i don't, either, i'm trying to bring balance to the story. he could have played with his school. instead of the pee-wee league, could play with kids his age, a bit older but he wanted to play with his friends and those kids at school are more skilled and happy ending he gets to play with the san diego chargers this week and is heading to san diego... >> alisyn: that is just a one off. >> dave: to practice with them. >> alisyn: don't pee-wee teams have weight limits to prevent littler kids from being smashed. >> to be fair the average 12-year-old is about 90 pounds and he is 300, okay? but, yes, they all have weight limits exactly like the one i read and, they say if you weigh above a certain poundage you have to be in the interior line.

>> so he can play on the interior line. >> dave: if he was obese it would be a different subject but he's not, he's a big boy. >> and the defensive line... >> dave: he does play defensive line. >> he's going to pancake these little kids. >> dave: we have gone back and forth on this for two days. >> alisyn: yes. and you weighed in as all. >> dave: and you have all weighed in and we won't settle it any time soon. >> alisyn: let's update you on the star you feel strongly about, and remember back in june, the elementary school principal here in new york who would not let her kindergartners sing the song, god bless the u.s.a. by lee greenwood, first because she thought it would offend other cultures, a school with lots and lots of immigrants and then she said it wasn't appropriate, i think for their age range. and, she preferred a justin bieber song. >> about baby, baby, baby. >> dave: which they later removed as well. >> teenage love he's singing

about. >> alisyn: appropriate for five-year-olds. and, here's the update today. 40% of that principal's staff have quit. now, you have to understand, these are public school teachers and it is hard to find a job right now, and they have good jobs and have left the school, 25 -- anywhere from teachers to just administration to staff members. have left because of her policies. ♪ >> listen to the teachers. >> dave: teachers protesting after the graduation. >> alisyn: they are singing. all of these teachers who left. they supported the song and they wanted the song sung. and, the kindergartners came and sang the song on their own as well. so, the point is, she must have other policies that upset people. >> dave: not attracting many teachers there. there is the ending, let us know about you feel about that one, on twitter as well. >> alisyn: have you got any good

e-mails today? i hear you have, i know you have gotten a lot of e-mails about one of our stories we are talking about. >> we didn't plan for. >> alisyn: didn't plan for, about coffee drinking, how young is too young, five-year-olds can drink coffee, we'll talk about that in the "after the show" show. >> dave: please join us. >> alisyn: and your headlines now, and see what else is happening. we have a "fox news alert" for you, wikileaks founder julian assange speaking from the ecuadorean embassy in london, moments ago. it was his first public address since ecuador agreed to grant him asylum. on thursday, they granted it on thursday and today is a little of what he had to say. >> as wikileaks said... freedom of expression, and... [inaudible] we must use to in articulate the choice that before the government of the united states of america. will it return to and reaffirm

the values, revolutionary values it was founded on? >> i defy you to tell me what he said. >> alisyn: something about revolutionary values. they need a... >> a microphone. >> alisyn: he was speaking from the balcony because leaving the embassy would open him up to immediate arrest and he has been holed up two months now in that embassy, trying to dodge extradition. and he is want for questioning in an alleged sexual assault and his fear is suiciweden will turm over to the u.s. for leaking hundreds of thousands of sensitive documents. and, boys were planning a massacre at their high school, read perry and samuel noble in coming sophomores at the vista murieta high school, the plot was involved after one bragged about it to someone on-line and they notified the fbi and classes are set to begin there this week though prosecutors say

the killing spree was not planned for the immediate future. no word on how the boys will be charged. brand new reports of the iraqi government is helping iran dodge u.s. and international sanctions because of their nuclear program. most of the accusations involving iraqi banks and officials funneling money and oil for iran. "the new york times" also reported the white house has known about the issue for quite some time. but it is definitely trying to avoid a public dispute with iraq, as you know, the last u.s. troops were pulled out of the country, 8 months ago. look at this: a car on a colorado high we weaves in and out of traffic and the runaway car reaching speeds of 100 miles per hour and get this: the driver said his gas pedal was stuck, he called 911 and they followed him until they could help him stop. >> my vehicle -- i went into the right median and the left median and everything i could do to get around people without causing any kind of accident. >> alisyn: i wonder what kind of

war it was, the wild ride ended when he drove onto a truck ramp and slide into a police car and luckily, no one was hurt. >> ever seen the colorado rocky mountains, and they have the trucks when they lose their brakes, and, go off in the gravel to slow it down. >> dave: that is i-70, you can go up the side of a mountain as my friend rick reichmuth knows and that guy is ultimately lucky to survive that whole encounter. >> rick: the right spot for sure, we have tennessee and georgia and madison, wisconsin and they have nice weather and it hasn't been this nice for a long time. thank you very much, we'll take it. your weather maps, temperatures as you are waking you up, 68 here and 60 minneapolis and, just beautiful morning, it is still warm down across the south. what starts to happen this time of year, cooling across the northern tier and your forecast for the day, around the northeast, it is going to be a very nice one and there will be a few scattered showers back across the appalacians. nothing that will ruin anybody's day and there are showers across

the areas of virginia and down towards the carolinas now but overall it will be a nice one, down to the southeast there will be more showers, we could see a little bit of severe weather across the carolinas, this morning, maybe even a tornado or two, throughout the afternoon. but, that is just going to be far eastern carolinas and we'll see showers down to the south and, kind of the central gulf area, into the northern plains a beautiful day again, nice conditions. that you earned, this summer, from all of the heat, you can continue to enjoy it very nice, veries the northern plains and across the west, temps dropping from where you were last week and still, warm and we'll continue to see those showers, especially in the afternoon hours. guys, back to you inside. >> alisyn: okay. >> mr. clean paying a visit, that is nice. >> dave: caught on camera a man tracks down the guy who stole his bike and he confronts him. >> you are going to get arrested. i have security on the way. i'm not letting you guys leave.

>> alisyn: did his plan work? we'll ask him, straight ahead. >> and a new report says cash strapped california is totally broke. so is the rest of the country headed in the same direction as cali and how can we stop it? art laffer is here, live. ♪ ve lately.

>> how are you today. >> california is a beautiful place, my daughter lives in san francisco but they are broke and we don't want the rest of the country to be like california. is what the way we are headed? >> i think so. i left california 7 years ago, as you know, when governor schwarzenegger turned to the dark side and started raising taxes, i got out of dodge and moved to nashville, tennessee which has no income tax and i love california more than life itself and california is going the wrong way. they've got a proposition on their ballots for this november, that would raise the highest income tax rate from 10.3%, to 13.3%, would raise sales taxes as well. and, makes it all retroactive which starts at the beginning of 2012, which is outrageous. but, yes, they are going the wrong way. we cannot tax our way into prosperity. california is a perfect example of that. >> dave: you didn't write the book "eureka" you wrote an interesting paper my wife helped me understand last night and what you did is broke down 9

states with no income tax and nine states with the highest income tax rates and you found in a nutshell those states with no income tax did better in terms of gross state product, their growth was better over the course of a decade and tax receipts were actually higher. tell us about how that broke down. >> what happens is, i've looked at nine states with no income tax and compared with the nine states with the highest income tax rates and the nine states out-paced with population an employment for the last decade, but for the last 50 or every single year and i've -- >> why. >> because they are more attractive to business and people. you have two locations, location a and location b and if they raise taxes in b and they lower them in a, people and producers and manufacturers and business will move from b to a, it is pretty simple, straightforward

economics, look at texas's growth and california's growth. amazing, tennessee. >> i saw alaska. are you factoring in all the oil production, like in texas and alaska? >> yes. i looked at it with and without oil. i look at the nonoil states and, of course, oil is very, very important, north dakota is the number one performing state. i mean, it is really doing well. because of oil. but, even when you take oil out the zero income tax rate states do better than the highest. you know, a lot of things matter in determining economic prosperity for a state but taxes are an extremely important factor and so is right-to-work, by the way. is there are a lot of things... >> dave: when we look at both your history and california's history, the common thread is president reagan and you were an advisor to president reagan who is also, as we know, the former governor of california and he was famous for a lot of tax increases there. in the late '60s that solved, ironically their budget crisis,

right? >> not really, they didn't. under him the performance wasn't very good and i used to tease him about that and i'm, you know, sir, when you were governor... and he said, art, i wasn't a very good gordon but at least i am better than those other governs and at least i learned from my mistakes and they don't even learn from their mistakes and ronald reagan became the best president ever in my opinion because of learning from his mistakes when he was governor and watching other governors do well and do poorly. he was really a scholarly guy on this stuff. >> i've heard the candidate, paul ryan compared to ronald reagan. do you agree? >> i think paul ryan is an extraordinarily competent person. i think he is reaganesque. i'm a huge fan of paul ryan's as you might imagine and, a huge fan ofreagan's as well. >> dave: lastly, what do you see in california that might foreshadow our future, depending upon who is in the white house? >> well, you know, if we have another four years like the last four, let's say another 8 years

like the last 8 years, "w" was not much better than obama to be honest with you if you look at another 8 years or four years like the past 8 years we'll have a very bad fiscal situation and will be broke like california, having to cut all sorts of essential services because we cannot afford it. i mean, look at the number of cities going bankruptcy. but, let me add one thing, i have work with jerry brown for years and years and i am a huge fan of jerry brown's. he ran on my 13% flat tax when he ran for president. and i'm a huge fan. i think that jerry brown once this stuff gets over, can switch and become probably one of the greatest governors ever, if we goes back to his basic principles of pro-growth economics. jerry did well after prop 13. >> now we have prop 30 coming up and we can't get into that. we like having you on because you are honest and it is a pleasure to see you. >> dave: good to see you. >> thank you very much, a pleasure buying with you. >> dave: book is in bookstores everywhere, up next going to great extremes to catch a thief.

burner, that made it looks like we were calling from seattle 206 area code and, we just set up a meeting and met with him last saturday and it was at 11:00. >> alisyn: wow. that is -- we're watching. you recorded the whole sting operation and you called it operation retrieving fuji, which is the model bike that you had and so you snared the guy in your web and you drove to seattle to confront him. how did you know he was the right guy that had stolener bike to begin with? -- stolen your bike to begin with. >> we figured out a few blocks from where my bike was actually stolen and that was one thing and secondly, that he just waited a couple days after it was stolen to sell it out there. >> and he sees a picture... and that's my bike, i'm going to seattle. were you ner haves when you approached? the guy -- were you nervous when you approached?

he could have punched you in the face or had a weapon or something. >> i had a couple of friends waiting close guy and one of them is 6' 5" and, you wouldn't want to mess with him but i'd be lying if i said, i wasn't scared. >> alisyn: and then the thief takes off and runs away and then what happened. >> one of my friends chased after him and couldn't keep up and i hopped on hi bike and chased him down and, cops showed up pretty quickly after wards. >> alisyn: how did you hold him to wait for the cops? >> talked to him about the bike, i knew every part on there and asked about all the different parts on it and took it for a test drive and had him change the seat to a different seat and took it for another test drive and it took 45 minutes for the police to show up. >> a lot of people would just kind of let it go. darn, my bike was stolen and just forget about it. why did you go the 160 miles? i'm glad you did, because i get satisfaction out of this,

myself. >> i think bicycles are really personal things, you know, and everybody can empathize with the feeling, it is like getting kicked in the gut, the worst feeling ever and, what he did to me is took the thing i prize the most, my favorite possession in the whole world, i'd do anything to get the bike back. >> don't tell your date your most prized possession is your bike. >> yeah. >> way to go, you are batman, nice to have you on the show. >> thank you. >> alisyn: great police work. >> and satisfaction of getting the darned bike back. >> alisyn: i love it! i wish i had the gumption to chase down people like that. >> did you ever go on a date with a guy who picked you up on a bike? >> alisyn: yes, moving on, more "fox & friends" two minutes. and that story. but no way it's 80 calories, right? no way, right? lady, i just drive the truck. right, there's no way right, right? have a nice day.
