maybe he can pull some strings. delighted you can join us on a rainy day in new york city. we've got all your news and there is a lot of it on this friday morning. >>brian: if you're at the n.s.a., start taping now. >>gretchen: let's get to your headlines. late last night a medevac chopper went down leaving all thee people on board dead. it happened in kentucky. the victims of the crash, pilot, paramedic and a nurse. no word on what caused that crash. the i.r.s. who saw the targeting of conservatives reportedly calling it quits. this is mr. hull, and he apparently has decided that it's time to retire. carter hull is his name, according to at least one report. >>brian: he seems elated about it.

>>gretchen: one day after sarah murnaghan was put on the waiting list for a lung, another child was put on the list. kathleen sebelius was ordered to put an 11-year-old on the list. javier has cystic fibrosis. the lawyer representing both families says you can expect more lawsuits. the board overseeing transplants holding an emergency meeting. hollywood mourning the loss of esther williams who died in her sleep yesterday at her l.a. home. the swimming champion turned actress was one of the shimmering stars. technicolor water phaou kals of the 1960's. williams was -- i have no idea. that's -- she was 91 years old.

>>steve: let's tell you a little bit about this. last time we joined you yesterday morning at this time, we told you all about how it appeared that the federal government was monitoring everybody who has a verizon phone. now as it turns out they're phopb toerg everybody in the -- monitoring everybody in the united states if you use a phone. they are also monitoring what you do on the internet and what you do with your credit card. >>brian: do they know what i'm thinking? >>steve: maybe. it goes to show you that in the name of trying to keep us all very safe, uncle sam turns out to be big brother. >>brian: all part of the patriot act. they say the prison program is now into play. what steve was referring to is major organizations like microsoft, yahoo, apple. youtube, aol and skype. they have a way of monitoring that in one central location. i can't see this being a human situation where humans are going okay, doocy is on facebook again.

carlson just hung up with her aunt from across the street. do you have an aunt across the street? >>gretchen: no but if i ask my husband home the milk, i'm sure they're very interested. >>brian: 1%. a lot of people feel you need 2% for the nutrients. but the best for you is breast milk. >>gretchen: what? >>brian: if you're an infant. >>gretchen: where is this discussion -- >>brian: i'm going to tell you. >>gretchen: oh my -- more importantly, where is his cup? what is he drinking? >>brian: brit hume tweeted this out. he said it is so voluminous and so widespread that americans really should not be worried about this because you've got computers working to keep us safe. >>gretchen: here's the thing. i think this is an extension, some people calling it an excessive extension of the patriot act including the guy who wrote the patriot act, jim

sensenbrenner from wisconsin. he knows a lot about milk. the two major questions for me is who would leak this information? and why? >>brian: i would say the president found out about it in a news report. >>gretchen: the other big question for me is if this administration does not believe there currently still is a war on terror, then why are they doing this? why are they doing a more extensive overreach of what president bush was doing that they highly criticized if in fact there is no war on terror? that is the question to ponder today. >>brian: why is the boston bomber getting through? why aren't we tracking him? >>steve: apparently the system didn't work in that case. we do know the answer to who leaked it. according to "the washington post" it was a career intelligence officer who wanted to expose what he believed to be a gross intrusion of privacy, because he said -- quote -- "they couldn't quite literally watch your ideas as you type."

the problem is given all the other scandals out there right now, do you trust the federal government? here's dr. krauthammer. >> if you r going to give -- if you are going to give the government the leeway to collect that information, and i think if you're living in a world of terrorism you have to, you have to have a modicum of trust and the people who administer it that it will be done openly, fairly and in a way that's even handed. once you get the impression from the i.r.s., from the a.p. scandal, the other scandals and the fact that this administration stone walls and prevaricates a lot on other issues like benghazi, then you've lost that trust. and then the n.s.a. stuff becomes really scary. >>brian: i think president obama owes another salute to president bush. everything that president bush put in place that president obama at the time when he was candidate obama said was an overreach and there's got to be a way to make liberty with security, everything the president has done from gitmo on

down, this president has kept in stock. >>gretchen: i remember interviewing laura bush a couple of years after the president had left office and asking that exact question. how does the president feel now -- president bush -- about the fact that he was so highly criticized by then-candidate president obama about all of his policies, and he hasn't changed any of them? in fact he's made them more excessive. here's president obama when he was a senator back in 2005. >> if someone wants to know why their own government has decided to go on a fishing expedition through every personal record or private document through the library books that you read, the phone calls that you've made, the e-mails that you've sent, this legislation gives people no right to appeal the need for such a search in a court of law. no judge will hear your plea. no jury will hear your case. this is just plain wrong.

>>steve: that's the kind of rhetoric he had until he became president of the united states. and then to brian's point, he realized, wait a minute, this stuff they say works so we better keep going with it. >>brian: surveillance policies of george push puts false choice between liberties we cherish and the security we provide. that is a quote. >>gretchen: there are members of both parties who think this is perfectly fine and it is a good idea including a frequent guest on this show, congressman mike rogers, he said in the past few years this was used to stop terrorist attacks in the united states. yesterday on the show we had lindsey graham, also a republican, he said there are erroneous things in these reports. for example, that they're not looking at every single verizon customer, for example. >>steve: they are tracking everybody's data. they've got all that information. so when james clapper, who is the head of national intelligence, was up on capitol hill in march, and he was asked directly a

question about whether or not the federal government is tracking everybody, extraordinarily he said this -- >> does the n.s.a. collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of americans? >> no, sir. >> it does not? >> not wittingly. there are cases where they could inadvertently perhaps collect, but not wittingly. >>steve: he makes it sound like it's an accident. that on its face is misleading. did you leave the n.s.a. computer hopb? -- computer on because i tracked every single american by mistake. >>gretchen: guys, come on. he is the top spy chief of the nation. you think he's going to say to everyone in america, yeah, let me show you all the cards in my book.

>>brian: all you do is say that is something i will entertain at a different time behind closed doors. >>gretchen: it's semantics we're arguing. maybe he didn't say it so eloquently. based on the fact that he shouldn't reveal all the n.s.a. secrets, i'm going to defend him on that. >>brian: he was asked directly. you've got to tell the truth. >>gretchen: and reveal how we run this country about terrorism. >>brian: those are the types of questions better told behind closed doors. >>steve: he looked like eric holder did not so long ago when eric holder looked like he lied or misled the nation on monitoring of journalists. >>gretchen: that was different. >>steve: but it looks the same. he was asked a direct question and he said something -- >>brian: i'll give you something closer. yesterday eric holder was asked by senator kirk, he said, by the way, are you monitoring congressmen and women, and he said let's talk about that behind closed doors. i just want a yes.

that to me is closer to what clapper should have said. >>steve: exactly right. he should have said we can do that later. given the fact that james clapper said we're not monitoring millions and millions of people, even though they were -- >>brian: i meant to say i was. >>steve: maybe the guy doesn't know what's going on. remember when diane sawyer talked to him in 2010 about london. >> london, how serious is it? any implication that it was coming here? any of the things that they have seen were coming here? dr. clapper? >>gretchen: that to me is totally different. he obviously didn't know what she was talking about; okay. the other thing to me -- let us know what you think. i'm taking the other side on this because i believe the united states of america needs to have some secrets to keep us safe. >>steve: master spy or clueless? e-mail us at friends@foxnews.com. >>brian: 80% of the farm

>>steve: it's set to cost taxpayers nearly $1 trillion but it turns out almost 80% of the senate's farm bill won't go toward helping farmers.

instead the farm bill money is going to go toward food stamps. >>gretchen: because the number of americans relying on food stamps is at a record high, over 40 million people. >>steve: all right. >>gretchen: i like you so much. i think it's mutual. >>steve: talk about your web and how large the web of food stamps has grown. is it a sign of the times that people don't have enough money for food or has it become so easy to get food stamps? >> it is a combination of both. from an economic point of view, this post-recession recovery is the worst in the history of our country. i think there's a sort of disingenuous factor to it. the administration is pushing it. they're doing ads in english, spanish, everywhere else. but it doesn't substitute for real economic policy. the overwhelming majority

of people getting food stamps would rather have a job. we're talking $80 billion a year. billions and billions are going to be wasted on fraud. we're not going to know where it went, who it went to and it's not going to be spent on food; that sort of stuff. that is a huge scandal. the idea that almost 50 million americans would be on it or even come close to needing it is probably the most frightening aspect of the food stamp part of the farm bill. >>gretchen: correct me if i'm wrong, it seems both sides of the aisle are going to allow this to continue to pass because the senate voted 75-22 to end the debate on the five-year farm bill clearing the way for passage of the legislation next week. is there really opposition to it or do both political parties feel like we don't want to upset the apple cart? >> don't want to upset the apple cart. in hindsight one of the lessons learned from the presidential election is you don't want to seem mean

spirited. even the multiplier effect that nancy pelosi likes to talk about is a farce. let's not forget the farm side of the farm bill riddled with a lot of great programs for a lot of very rich and politically connected people on both sides of the aisle. it is a damned shame the american public will be subsidizing these gigantic farms that have put the little guy out of business and now they are getting subsidies on top of it. >>steve: a lot of little guys need it. >> they do. they put the little guys up front and they stand in the back and collect as well. >>steve: welcome to america. charles pa*eupbl standing in for -- charles payne standing in for the great stuart varney who is somewhere on vacation. >> that's right. jobs day not only the most important day of the month, maybe of the year. >>steve: also doughnut day. stand in line. see you later. >>gretchen: this is not funny. we're going back to serious news. remember this story? all those women going to a bachelorette party, their

rules for tax exempt organizations. you see his name right on top of the form. >> steve: with the a 01 c 4 -- 501 c 4. ever since with the bush days, there was an infrastructure to monitor communications with people overseas who could potentially be foreigners. >> brian: it was all part of the patriot act. >> steve: it was. now we're learning that apparently the nsa is not only spying on foreigners, they're actually monitoring every phone call you make in the united states. they're also taking a look at what you look at on the internet and they're tracking your credit cards as well, all in the name of trying to keep us safe from another -- >> brian: you know what's not on there? twitter. still holding out and not giving access to the government and apple held out five years and now they're giving access.

>> steve: the nsa is extracting information from the servers. >> brian: they cut a deal. >> gretchen: they did cut a deal with some of them. >> brian: to exonerate them from lawsuits. >> steve: what's happened with regard to twitter apparently and some surmise that because they've got a reputation for aggressive defense of the user's privacy, that's why twitter is not on there. the companies say, we're not helping the government. they're doing this on their own. >> gretchen: they might be saying that, who knows what the real truth because this could be devastate to go companies if they admit they have allowed the government to come in. who is going to be their customer if they feel they're being watched, unless it's all of them. by the way, we should be clear they're still saying they're not actually listening to the content of your phone conversations. they're still saying it's only the number that you're calling from and the number that you're calling, either domestically and internationally. but who knows? the bottom line is both sides of the aisle here are in agreement that this is the right thing to do. congressman mike rogers, republican from michigan, not

all politician, but this is one of the few things there is bipartisan support on because mike rogers, for example, says a terrorist act has been been thwarted from this program. >> brian: you remember ten days ago when the president gave his speech about the war on terror, all wars must come to an end and this one must come to an end? that was the mindset. but if you listen to more of his speech, he talked about the drone thing has to stop and he says i'm going to continue it. this is another example where i'm totally confused by the president's message because i thought the war on terror was coming to an end. the head of al-qaeda, first generation is basically all decimated, imprisoned or killed. i'm wondering what the president is also doing, thinking that, saying that, knowing this nsa program he condemned so much as a candidate has been picked up and given steroids at this hour. >> gretchen: that's the headline. really, why would the president be agreeing to an even more excessive intrusion of private

information if al-qaeda is on the run? >> steve: that's exactly right. a lot of people feel it's such an excessive intrusion on your personal life. in the beginning, we thought it was just okay, they're tracking calls between the united states and overseas. turns out they're tracking all of us. jonathan turley, was on last week. he said, quote, the most recent surveillance program is breath taking and shows absolutely no effort to narrow or tailor the surveillance of citizens. not looking at one person. it's looking at awful us. this is exactly what president then senator obama back in 2005 said is terrible and when i'm president, i'm not going to do it, even though now he's doing it. watch. >> if someone wants to know why their own government has decided to go on a fishing expedition through every personal record or private document through the library books that you read, the phone calls that you've made, the e-mails that you've sent,

this legislation gives people no right to appeal the need for such a search in a court of law. no judge will hear your plea. no jury will hear your case. this is just plain wrong. >> brian: when you invent the internet, almost all the traffic in the world comes through our country. our servers. so when al gore invented it, he was very good to keep it here because he sold so many things to people electric other countries. so we have an opportunity to monitor things in a comprehensive way. tomorrow, there is no way they could be saying, steve doocy shopping again? there is no way they'd do that because it's so per vasesive. -- pervasive. maybe they have certain buzz words. but you're still not stopping the boston marathon or stopping major hasan from opening fire at fort hood. but we don't know how many others have been stopped. >> steve: if the war on there are is over and if all the

spying is good, then why over the last four years have we been hit so many times? with this president, we've been hit more than with president george w. bush. what they say because it's data mining, i'm not going to get technical, but have you ever gotten a phone call where they go, mr. kilmeade, did you just use your visa card -- >> brian: yeah, sunday. >> steve: in alabama to buy gasoline? you got that call sunday? >> brian: no, i got rejected by 7-11 and they took my card. >> steve: it's the same idea where the computer, think about this. by keeping us safe, they've got to go through a gigantic hay stack of information. all this me at that data is the hay stack. unfortunately, we're all in the hay stack. >> brian: you did just bring me down because hay stack calhoun, passed away. >> gretchen: let's talk about whether or not the media, who trashed president bush for the exact same thing, now will they do that to president obama?

well, if you look at how the "new york times," editorial board actually originally reported this story, here is how it originally was yesterday afternoon on-line. the administration has now lost all credibility. mr. obama is proving the truism that the executive will use any power it is given and very likely abuse it. but then that story changed a short time later to this. the administration has now lost all credibility on this issue. they changed from just the issue to the entire sort of administration and what's gone on over the last couple of years to just this one particular issue. >> brian: listen, i'm all for the patriot act. i think it's effective and necessary. there are so many people like senator chambliss way on the right who say i've seen it. i've seen its work, i can't tell you everything, but it's effective. but bob beckel was never for it. he's on "the five," wears suspenders. he has not changed because the president's changed. listen. >> i think it is one of the most

outrageous examples of stepping on the constitution that i've heard. they have no right to phone records. these phone records, they get both sides. they're not on record for anything. this is the government getting into our business and it ought to be out. it is illegal. it is unconstitutional. and it's deplorable. and i didn't like it when they did it in the bush administration and i don't like it now. i know they're looking for methods and things on computers, screw that. the fact of the matter is, they're listening in -- if they're not listening in, they're taking my phone records. get your hands off my phone records! sometimes i got some 800 numbers i don't want you to know about. >> steve: i bet he does. it all comes down to trust. we're told that the information is out there, but nobody is look at it. >> brian: bob beckel doesn't anyone to know he ordered the pocket hose. >> gretchen: we have to be careful, too, because would we be saying the same thing if president bush was doing this? >> brian: it's who you trust. >> steve: with president bush, we were told it was between the united states and over there.

a lot of people don't trust the federal government. do you trust the irs after we discovered they were targeting conservative people? no. do you trust the department of state after benghazi? no. do you trust the department of justice after the james rosen thing? no. so should we trust the intel community? we want to. >> brian: we have no choice because we can't trust our intel community, things start blowing up. >> steve: that's why people are worried, because they don't trust government. >> gretchen: i think this issue may be on its own because both presidents did do it. this may be more excessive. the irs thing is what every citizen should be concerned about. >> brian: take the phone out of your house, throw your cell phone away. chalk and blackboard and eraser and marker. >> steve: maybe that's why the guy on "green acres" had the phone on the top of the pole. >> brian: that's pettycoat

junction. >> gretchen: coming up on the show, it will be the first public monument in the nation dedicated to atheism. since when did the minority become the majority? >> brian: is the president's cabinet more like a cabinet of favors and good friends? what about our national security? we'll take a closer look. we'll slowly zoom in on this shot. netr ♪ to relax, soothe, and unlock tight muscles. and now, introducing reusable thermacare cold wraps. pain relief without the shock of ice. ♪ pain relief (announcer) iskies. now serving breaast.

liberal intentionallist who favor using american power on behalf of the humanitarian causes. >> this got us in trouble in libya. samantha power with susan rice who convinced the president to lead from behind. we saw the leveling of cities. instead of going after gadhafi who was really the issue, we leveled cities. this will get us in trouble, especially if we put troops on the ground to do anything because we become the issue the moment we intervene. >> brian: i understand there is a weakness, asia. where is the focus for this administration? has been asia taking on china showing them we're going to bulk up and stand up for ourave to b. we don't have a global policy which says what we'll use our military force for. that leaves it open for interpretation. the other thing that impacts us, pentagon budget. we can't use the resources we have left unless we have a strategy to put it against and we don't have one. >> brian: the other story is immigration. the last line has a lot to do with that. you talk about terrorists getting involved on our southwest border. >> the last line is taking all

the components. we heavily researched everything, everything you see in the book is based on what's really going on of the we put it together and say, what if these guys figure out how to really come after us and do some damage? so it's a very clearly defined, these are the bad guys, this is where they're work together already. that's what we talk about. >> brian: good luck with the book. you've been in the line of fire. you've seen intelligence and working on the hill. it's a great read. the -- "the last line" is the name of it. coming up straight ahead, homes are being bulldozed to the ground to make room for better homes. sounds like a good requested, i thought. but should you be paying for it? we report. you decide. and she's the real life inspiration behind the "the blind side." yes. sandra bullock played her. lee ann tewe is here to talk about her new mission

>> steve: quick headlines for you. breakthrough discovery for people suffering from multiple sclerosis. researchers say they found a treatment capable of reducing some of the disease's harsh effects on a body. they say they made the discovery after infusing the white blood cells a patient is suffering from that degenerative disease. this could be good news for. and from russia without love, mr. putin and mrs. putin apparently capotsski. getting divorced after 30 years. there is speculation putin is planning to debut a new wife. he's already involved with a gymnast. gretch, over to you. >> gretchen: thanks very much. ever heard the expression, money can't buy happiness? our next guest says it can. joining me, author of "happy

money, the science of smarter spending," michael norton, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> gretchen: money can buy you happiness. what do you mean? >> i think we often think money can't buy us happiness. our research shows it can a little bit. it's just the way we usually use it to try to buy happiness is completely wrong. >> gretchen: let's go through some of the tips to help folks out today because you don't have to have a lot of money to get the advantages of what you're talking about. you say buy experiences. what do you mean? >> this is one of the easy ones to change. so a lot of the money that we spend is on stuff, like cars and houses and tv's. those are fine, but they don't really make us that much happier. things like experiences, like trips or even lunch with a friend. these are things that are more fun while we're doing them and later on we remember them as happy memories. >> gretchen: make it a treat. >> this is a harder one for people to do. this is when you really, really love something, what you want to do is have it all the time. so your coffee in the morning, every day you want the coffee. it turns out even really good things get a little tired over

time. if you quit and then make it a treat, you're going to love it much, much more. whatever the thing is you love the most, stop for a little while, come back to it and you'll be even happier when you get it. >> gretchen: that works with love, too. absence makes the heart grow fonder. >> exactly. >> gretchen: hobbit giving it back, investing in other people? >> this is a huge one. this is -- many of us do it, but not enough. if you think about if you won the powerball, for example what, should do you with all of that money? yeah, you should probably buy some things for yourself. but a really important thing to do is give to other people, whether it's gifts for friends or donating to charity. we've done a lot of research that shows that's a really reliable source of being happier with your money. >> gretchen: so you should also buy time. what do you mean by that? if you don't like to do certain things in your life, you should have somebody else do those for you? >> exactly. so if you're lucky enough where you have extra cash, you should really think about what are the things that i have to do every day that i hate more than anything? for some people, it's vacuuming. >> gretchen: that's number one on the list? >> vacuuming is one of the worst

things people have to do. i'm not sure why, but that's one. think about getting someone to vacuum for you. you can think, i don't have enough money for that. but think about other things that you're spending money on that you could shift over to that. so not to pick on coffee, but if you drink coffee ever day, you spend thousands of dollars a year on coffee, could you give up coffee for a month and pay somebody to vacuum. >> gretchen: like bottled water. how much money do we spend? or you could buy the roomba. the final one, is pay now, consume later. this is to trick your brain a little bit, right? >> exactly. many of the things we do now we think about paying later and consuming now. so if you go on itunes, you can get any book or music right now. then because it's on your credit card, you can pay much, much later, which feels great, except it's not the best thing for happiness. what you should really do is pay for things way in advance and then by the time they come, they actually feel free when you do

prepaid vacation, for example. it feels great if you paid before and then go. consuming later, also you get to look forward to it coming. so if you pay the day before your vacation, you only get one day to be excited. if you pay a month before, off whole month of sitting in your cubicle dying for a ray indication and you can't wait. that's the kind of happiness that's really nice. >> gretchen: then if you pay in advance and get your bill and it has zero balance, you're like, wow, that vacation was free. your brain forget, i actual lea did pay. michael norton, a fascinating topic, thanks for the optimism. we need more of that today. thanks very much. coming up next, back on the big screen together. >> we're going to ask you a few questions that some of our candidates find a little odd. >> shoot. >> you're shrunken down to the size of nickels and dropped to the bottom of a blender. what do you do? >> gretchen: it's the movie -- is the movie worse the money? on this day in 1985, everybody wants to rule the world by tears for fears was the number one

good morning. do you like this movie? >> good morning to you guys. the movie is essentially dodge ball meets wedding crashers. you have that element of the competition of dodge ball, then the chemistry of "wedding crashers." they're crashing google. you have two men who lost their job and now they have to apply for an internship at google and apply for a full time position. the movie is really, really funny at times, but you won't walk away quoting it. it's just a movie you enjoy while watching it. >> brian: what i loved about fred clause was i could bring my whole family. can i to this movie? >> it's more pg-13. it's a family funny comedy that has the pg-13 element. the problem is it's very predictable and cliche. i gave it a three out of five. what that means is go to a matinee show. don't pay the full ticket price. go to an early show and go to dinner afterwards. one of the underlying messages about this movie that i really loved was the whole idea of

human interaction being lessened by technology. we're always on our phones and always tweeting and facebooking. we're never living in the now. so i asked vince vaughn and owen wilson about their balance and thousand they balanced that out in their own lives. >> do you guys have set rules for yourself where you say no internet for three hours? >> i had to make some set rules, not so much for myself -- for vince. >> for vince because this guy was always buried in his computer. >> yes. >> i'd say vince, can we talk, can we catch up? >> i would say to him, owen, the computer is not on, take a hint. [ laughter ] not that interesting to hear the same story a third time. [ laughter ] >> gretchen: all right. so they seem to have a good chemistry together, so people can check that out. you say do the matinee. let's talk about "the purge." >> this is interesting. the year is 2022, unemployment rate is less than 1%, crime and murder rate at an all-time low. the reason is the government sanctioned a purge for 12 hours

once a year, all crimes iscludi. and the deal with this, ethan hawk -- it's an insane concept. but the problem is, they bury in a home invasion story and they don't go out to rest of america and learn what other people would be doing in that time period. so i found it to be very bland. it wasn't scary. it was very underwhelming. and the character decisions are so stupid. i mean, it makes the movie seem unnatural. it's not real. it felt fake. i gave it 2 1/2. it's a rental. it has good performances, but do not go to theaters. >> brian: good luck on the ethan junket. >> steve: are owen and vince working for the nsa at google? >> they're doing an internship competing for a full-time job. >> steve: 'cause we know the nsa is there somehow doing something. >> brian: all right, kevin. thank you for joining us. have a great weekend. go watch your movies.

it's work. >> thank you so much. >> gretchen: fun job. well, geraldo is here. he was chuckling off on the side lines for a moment. he's going to talk about the huge developments overnight. the government not just keeping track of every phone call you make. we'll bring you up to speed. >> brian: do you know eddie money? >> steve: i do. >> brian: i thought so. he knows everybody. he's part of the summer concert series. he survived and so did you. that's all that counts. look at this crowd in the pouring rain! ♪ the great outdoors... ...and a great deal. thanks to dad.

you got a good point. [ laughter ] >> brian: geraldo will be with us shortly, eddie money shortly. one will sing. >> gretchen: let's get to your headlines. the irs lawyer who closely oversaw the targeting of conservative groups, reportedly calling it quits. he'll retire. he's accused of suggesting some of the questions asked to groups. he suggested them to the workers in the cincinnati office. hull is not confirming or denying any of those reports. a judge expected to rule whether a voice recognition expert will be allowed to testify at george zimmerman he is murder trial. cries for help can be heard in the background of 911 calls that neighbors made moments before trayvon martin was killed. >> 911, do you need police, fire or medical? >> maybe both. i'm not sure. there is just someone screaming outside. >> gretchen: an f.b.i. speech

scientist testified current technology cannot necessarily determine whether the screaming is from martin or from zimmerman. zimmerman claiming self-defense. the trial starts next week and is expected to last more than a month. starting today a new diet drug is available. it tricks your brain into making you full. at least feel full. as a result, you're supposedly going to eat less. the drug maker says it can help obese patients use 5% of their body weight when combined with regular exercise. it costs $200 a month before insurance. have you ever thought a beautiful woman was just really into you? >> you call your company or credit card company? >> brian: i'm calling nicole. >> all right, listen, no, don't call me. [ laughter ] >> gretchen: a new study finds men ten to overestimate -- listen to the reason why. men tend to overestimate women's interest in them when they're tired.

it happens after just one bad night of sleep. research shows sleep deprivation has similar effects to alcohol. it impacts the frontal lobe of the brain that helps us make good decisions. >> when the woman is tired or the man is tired? >> gretchen: the man. i think so that your perception of the woman saying oh, yeah. >> oh, baby, okay. >> brian: my lobe is swollen. i think she wants me. >> steve: geraldo, you've been working your brain over the last couple of days, ever since monday, 89-year-old frank lautenberg, the senator from new jersey passed away. you've been thinking about whether or not to run for senate. at the end of the segment, you'll have the announcement of whether or not you're going to run. >> yes. >> steve: good. >> gretchen: let's talk about the nsa. this spying situation, this prism program as it's being called seems to have really gotten a lot bigger in just the last 24 hours. first it was phone records, now internet. now it's credit card purchases. what do you make of it? >> i have slightly different take and a more unusual approach to the story, if i may.

isn't it interesting that we get these massive leaks within the last 24 hours, we have gotten leaks on the existence of two super secret programs. one is a court judge signing off on this gigantic verizon summons. the other is the existence of all the 150 million verizon users. then you have the prism program, all the internet surveillance. and now we have discovered them, how did we discover them? we discovered them by leaks. and these leaks come exactly as the obama administration has been exposed as being overaggressive in trying to do what? to stop leaks. this is a stick in the eye to the obama administration by someone within the administration says look, you've been so ham handed with the associated press -- >> brian: i dare you. do it again. >> james rosen snooping and to show you how impotent you are,

here are more massive leaks of what you're doing. very clear that he is leaking on leaking and this is almost like throwing down the gauntlet. >> brian: i'm fascinated with your take. looking at the program and the way we're finding out. put that aside for a moment. what do you think? >> i think two things. let's take the first one that gretchen mentioned, the verizon surveillance. that meant a judge ha had to sign -- had to sign off on that warrant. there is number one, the incredible scope, 115 million users, my god, what could justify a search of that magnitude? and you have the fact that a judge signed off on it. what did that require? probable cause that a crime was being committed. >> brian: even though they almost never say no? >> brian, there has to be some underpinning and that's the scary thing. not only the scope of this, but my god, what are they looking for. >> gretchen: two things. >> steve: everything. >> it can't be everything.

it has to be something. >> gretchen: a congressman from michigan, republican, he's actually in favor of this. he says that a terrorist act was thwarted as a result of this grant. senator lindsey graham was on the show yesterday and he said some of the numbers are erroneous. that maybe it wasn't 110 million. that some of the facts may be incorrect. the administration also saying that this morning. >> i don't deny or contradict anything the senators said. they know far better than i. but i submit that this is a vast undertaking and it came about because probable cause of something and this is in the post-boston marathon marathon era, which we missed. >> brian: which we missed. >> so i think they have these computers super heated, trying to find numbers. >> brian: are you upset by the concept or you think it's necessary? >> once we went with the patriot act and the post-9-11 era, we have to surrender some of our privacy to fight an insidious

enemy. >> steve: there goes more liberty. >> the reason why we are so frightened is when you look, for instance, at the irs, a different scandal, here you have the irs using ideology to determine who snoops. >> gretchen: i think that's -- >> a misuse of federal power, federal surveillance power, that's what you worry about. you worry about these verizon people not looking for a conversation between, you know, tamerlan tsarnaev, but looking to see if brian is cheating with the fox business anchor. >> steve: he's not. >> using it for personal reasons that are, you know -- he's got the porn channel on every day at work or something of that -- not you. >> gretchen: what about the hypocrisy alert that some people will find hypocritical, is that president obama trashed president bush's policies on the war on terror, number one. and number two, has given the impression to the american public that we no longer have a war on terror. obviously we do because this

kind of going into our privacy, invasion of privacy is way more excessive than the patriot act was, at least on its face. >> i think it is a biological of your sincere -- symbol of your sincerity and charming innocence that you think that we ever stopped sur veiling. >> gretchen: president obama said we no longer have a war on terror. >> they are the most skilled of hypocrites. this program started under the bush administration seven years ago and shows the liberals does it as much as the republicans. >> brian: is james clapper playing dumb? >> i don't know. it's hard for me to understand how he missed the fact that in that clip you showed, he didn't know what happened in london. there were 12 people arrested just the day before. it seemed like he was totally out of the loop or not even reading the newspapers. >> steve: right, but he was asked directly in march of this year whether or not we were being watched. we've got that sound bite. he sounds clueless on this.

watch. >> does the nsa collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of americans? >> no, sir. >> it does not? >> not wittingly. there are cases where they could inadvertently perhaps collect, but not wittingly. >> gretchen: he can't say it -- can he really tell all the nation secrets? >> no. but he could also have answered in that context and not been a liar. just two things. in his defense, maybe march is not april, it started in april. it could be -- >> steve: this program has been ongoing. >> this specific surveillance at verizon happened in april. >> steve: apparently it's something they got to redo every three months. >> the second part is, i thought his answer was very parced. i haven't studied the wording, but it's very possible that he,

not through being naive or lack of information, but rather through skill, navigated his way through. >> brian: are you going to run for the senate seat in new jersey? >> brian, it's such a difficult question. can i just give you one minute of background? last night i met with my family. what has happened in new jersey? governor christie has dropped a bombshell. he says there won't be a november 2014 election. there won't be a november 2013 election. there will be an october 2013 election with an august 2013 primary, which means next monday at 4:00 o'clock, i would have had to declare my candidacy. and looking at the lay of the land, running as a republican in a democratic state, i would have had to have tens of millions of dollars. i was willing to spend a substantial part of my own family's savings, but it would have been a very difficult road and as a result, i think it's going to be some rich people running. >> brian: you're not running? >> i am not running.

i'm staying right here. fox news let's you know, i posted the article. >> brian: it was really agonizing for you. >> it was agonizing. there were tears. my adult daughters who were there, we were talking about going up against super pacs, nancy super pacs, unlimited funds in the opponent. relive ae things that gretchen read about when she read my book. >> steve: so read all about it, fox news latino, geraldo post that had 15 minutes ago. >> thank you. >> gretchen: secretary sebelius said her hands were tied. but a judge made it hand. he put a second child on a list for a lung transplant. why couldn't sebelius make it happen? peter johnson, jr. has more on the case where kids can try the catch and release pond, take in a workshop and earn a new pin. make a craft and more, all for free. plus, check out all the great gifts for dad during our father's day sale.

die. javier accosta, through his mother, and he lost his brother a couple years ago because his brother was waiting too long for a liver transplant, they stepped up in that same courtroom and said we want a restraining order against the federal government and that same judge said, absolutely. a few days ago, he wanted to do it for all the people in that federal district and hhs, through sebelius' attorney said no, no, no. it can't be. and so you know what happened? sarah's family feels so strongly about it, they went to half yea's family -- half yea's family down the hall and said this is our lawyer. we think the principle is important. javier belongs on this list as well. it's not about one child. it's about a principle and about saving a whole generation of children who will die unless something is done. >> steve: regarding what this judge has done, it only involves those two kids. only those two kids -- >> those two children. but it's a revolutionary moment in american medicine and in our

constitutional history because this judge is saying children have rights. children should be treated the same as adults in terms of the allocation of organs. what we have is dr. roberts, who has now got a voice he hid from me last week and dr. sweet who couldn't explain why they have this under 12 rule, even though i spent 40 minutes on the phone with them, with their pr person. now they're saying, this is about musical chairs. this is not about musical chairs. a lot of these organ transplant people, these nameless faceless medical bureaucrats who kathleen sebelius is hiding behind is saying, you know, when you get a lot of pr, you can't be putting political pressure. it's not about political pressure. it's about what's right and what's wrong. and clearly two families now think this is wrong and they don't want their children to die because of the iniquity of the system. i spoke to sharon ruddic, the aunt of sarah. she said the family is delighted. sarah had a terrible day yesterday. is doing a little better as of midnight last night. they're waiting for some good

>> brian: quick headlines. town in california up in arms over the cost of a fund-raiser for president obama. i'm talking about atherton is considering putting an $8,000 lien against two homeowners who hosted the fund-raiser as a way to collect clean-up and security costs. the town forced to do this after the dnc and secret service refused to pay up. it looked like a scene right out of a movie, but it was real. the norwegian navy blowing up one of its own ships to test a missile. i say it works. the footage shows the missile hitting the 300-foot longship with pinpoint accuracy. reports are no one was aboard. >> gretchen: thanks a lot. doesn't feel like it today in new york, but summer is here and homeowners are thinking about all of these things they need to do around the house. right? before they take advantage of some of the deals out there, they need to stop and think about potential summer scams. here with what to watch for, the

creator of angie's list, angie hicks. she would know. good morning. >> good morning. >> gretchen: so we're going to talk about moving. i guess summer time is a big moving season for people. what are some of the tips for a good move to happen? >> you're going to have a good move, try to plan in the middle of the week or the middle of the month if you can 'cause it's less busy. you should be able to get everything in writing. get an in-home estimate and then also be sure to check their credentials. you want to make sure -- think about it, you're giving them all your worldly possessions. you want to make sure they're qualified and are living by the regulations that are necessary. >> gretchen: some of the red flags might be? >> if they're asking for money up front or a large deposit to hold the date, that's usually a sign of a red flag. also if they're showing up and truck is not in good shape, they're not in uniform, they don't have padding, things like that, those are also signs. then also if they're just reluctant to show you their credentials as well. >> gretchen: from moving a lot, i can tell you the insurance aspect is also really important.

>> right. people don't realize usually items are insured based on their weight. 60 per pound typically. if you have a tv that doesn't weigh very much, you might want to check with your homeowner's insurance. >> gretchen: good point. let's talk about lawn care. everyone wants to have the beautiful green grass. so what are some of the complaints you hear? >> we hear complaints about upselling, about people calling and not showing up. also doing service they didn't expect, or generally not being able to fix the lawn as they expected. so if you're having your lawn done and you're hiring someone new, the first thing is get estimates in person. have them come out and talk to you. and then also the first application or two, be there when it's done because unfortunately, a lofters aren't there when they do the application and then you don't even know potentially if they did the work. >> gretchen: great point. hvac, suspected scam that really isn't a scam. what are you talking about? >> the price of coolant, the r

22 coolant, it gets complicated is being in the process of being phased out. if your air conditioner was made prior to 2010, it probably uses that type of coolant. if you have a link, the price of that coolant on average has gone from $35 a pound to $175 a pound. that's just for the coolant. not for the installation. so if you have a leak, you might want to consider whether it's time to replace the unit. >> gretchen: and if your bill seems to be high, now we know why. >> right. it truly is. they're reducing production and cost is going up. >> gretchen: general tips. i know you're going to say people should go o angie's list because you've prelooked at a lot of these things. >> we've got reviews from consumers on their experiences with companies. also get three estimates. i know it takes a little bit of time. but that way you'll know if you have a liar in the pricing scheme. get things in writing. make sure that the companies you're using are properly licensed. >> gretchen: great tips for people's summer things they might be doing. angie hicks, thank you. >> thank you. >> gretchen: have a good

weekend. it's a commencement speech like you have never seen before. >> so i look out and see all the faces of people who deserve to stand where i am. >> gretchen: the brave teen ripping up his real speech and sharing his faith for god. big breaking news on the economy. nicole, i don't know if you know this, but you've been on our show in a certain clip. >> oh, god, i'm scared. i'm also now -- you'll have to tell me all about it. but i'm eagerly awaiting the monthly jobs report. we'll find out what the unemployment rate is and how many people dropped out of the labor force. they're tired of looking. now coming up, mr. eddie money. ♪

>> steve: we've got a fox business alert, new monthly jobless numbers just released. nicole petallides from the "fox business" network is live on the floor of the new york stock exchange with the number. nicole? >> all right. with the number. so we're going to look at the unemployment rate. the unemployment rate has ticked up and now 7.6%. up from 7.5%. the total number of jobs add the, nonfarm payrolls up 175,000. that's better than the estimate of 170,000. so people will interpret this jobs report, this monthly jobs report for may as good news ultimately for two reasons. one, more jobs were added than expected and two, we're going to get into this -- the unemployment rate going up to 7.6% from 7.5%, that's not bad, guys. >> steve: yeah. what about the number of people -- this is always kind evidence bad number -- the number of people that dropped out, the participation rate. do we know yet whether or not that budged? >> i had to take a look at that. but to your point, steve, this is what we're talking about.

when we say that the unemployment rate went to 7.6% from 7.5%, i know that there were more people participating and looking for jobs right away. that i can tell you for sure. i don't have the exact number. but for sure more people are looking. and that at least is a good sign because really on the "fox business" network, all the business folks, they looked at this labor participation rate for ages because it used to be the unemployment rate went down and more people had jobs. that's not really what we've been seeing over the last three years. instead you were seeing the unemployment rate going down because people got tired of looking for jobs. they dropped out of looking all together. >> brian: with the extension of unemployment benefits, it might make that more possible. now the labor participation rate we understand is 63.4%. roughly have six out of every ten people working, but four are not. >> i know you can't see this. i put mine up. 63.3% is what it was. you're telling me it went to

63.4%. you see this? lowest since 1979. still stinks. 1979. i was at day school learning the national anthem. it still shows you that people are not participating. they are tired. they're either maybe taking jobs beneath them or a part-time job or dropping out of the force all together. to your point, brian, you talked about people getting benefits. that's what we learned from the university of chicago. they just said that sometimes people don't even look because they're getting all these benefits, insurance, food stamps, which are up 39% since 2009. and the last one was disability benefits. that's up about 13%. so for some it's why should i even get up off the couch? >> gretchen: such an important point to bring up. you really need to look deeper into all of the numbers and the psychology behind why people actually look for a job or don't. earlier, before we went to the commercial break, i stunned you by saying you had already appeared in our show in a clip.

i want to play it for you now because we've been using it basically to embarrass brian. >> brian: let me give proper context. the proper context word is men think women are into them when they are tired. morning show hosts are perpetually tired. please clarify this, nicole, and tell the world to not believe what you're actually doing here. first, let's watch and listen from a short time ago. >> steve: do you call that company or do you call your credit card company? >> brian: i'm calling nicole. >> all right, listen, don't call me. okay. so listen. >> steve: listen, don't call me. >> gretchen: you're basically blowing him off. >> a little, a little blowoff there. but it's not because you were tired and misinterpreted it. maybe it was just that for that particular reason you should call the government. >> brian: oh, not you. >> steve: there you go. >> brian: you're saying it's not me. it's you. >> ha, ha, yes. one of those, really, it's not

me, it's you. >> steve: nicole petallides, social advice from the floor of the new york stock exchange. thank you very much. have a good weekend. >> thanks. >> brian: she didn't say i could call her, though. >> steve: no. >> brian: still. i understand. 23 minutes before the top of the hour. >> steve: we've got some headlines. hunger strike down in gitmo just got worse. 41 suspected terrorists are become force fed to keep them alive. get this, the guards who are keeping them alive are now under fire from a human rights advocates who say the forced feedings are inhumane and a violation of prison rights. 103 gitmo detainees right now on hunger strike. >> brian: cringe worthy dash cam video released and shows the exact moments a driver slams into a police car.

>> you all right? you all right? >> brian: the impact causing the cop car to roll over and over before it finally slamd into a tree. amazingly, the officer did not suffer any significant injuries. he was wearing a seatbelt at the time. the driver in the other car, he fell asleep at the wheel. >> gretchen: wow. that is amazing. south carolina valedictorian going against school wishes during his graduation speech. earlier in the year, the school faced pressure from an atheist group to pull prayer from school completely, even the word god. so roy costner iv ripped up his preapproved speech and instead delivered the lord's prayer as his speech. he joins us here. >> god was such an important part of my life, i feel if we take him out of school, it will hurt more than help. i noticed this past year more types of arguments and fights going on that i think could be prevented with bringing god back into school. >> gretchen: the school says roy is not going to face punishment

because he's already graduated. there is not really anything they can do. >> steve: meanwhile, a 911 emergency operator gets one wild call for help. listen. >> 911, what's your emergency? >> i just saw a couple of girls carrying an alligator over into a field. >> steve: yeah. that could be a problem. check out the four foot gator police found when they arrived. the caller thought the two women were trying to leave it on the side of the road, but turns out they work for a zoo program and were trying to give it a relief break. cops posed for some pictures before letting the ladies get back to work. there is the gator on top of the cop car. >> brian: eddie money in 12 minutes. straight ahead, attorney general eric holder on the hot seat. should he resign? our next guest says yes because he's a bigger threat than a leader of al-qaeda. lieutenant colonel allen west outside coming inside in just a moment. they made him stand out in the rain?

>> gretchen: he had to sing "two tickets to paradise" before he came in. >> brian: it's his rookie debut as a member of the fox news team. >> steve: what's coming up this weekend, clayton and ali? >> what did we do to annoy the producers that they put us all out here? >> they want us outside in the rain. sorry, colonel. >> sorry about that. so listen, you just heard the unemployment rate rose. chances are you may be looking for a job. if you didn't get a job after your last job interview, tomorrow we're going to tell what you you did wrong on that job interview. >> plus you know all the coffee we drink? >> i do. >> apparently there is big dangers lurking in your cup of coffee. we will dive into it and tell you what to look out for in your next cup of java. >> you guys ready to hear more eddie money?

>> brian: attorney general eric holder standing his ground, varying calls for him to resign. our next guest says he should step down because he's a bigger threat to the nation than the leader of al-qaeda. joining us right now to explain that statement is the man who made it. fox news contributor, congressman from florida, colonel allen west. what makes you say that? >> it's simple. there was a great quote from cicero, and i'll read it. it says a nation can survive its

fools and even the ambitious, but it cannot survive treason from within. enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. but the traitor moves among those within the gate freely. his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys heard in the very halls of government itself. a murderer is less to fear. the traitor is the plague. our republic is based upon the rule of law. when the rule makers are not adhering to the rule of law, then the very foundations of this great nation will start to crumble. >> brian: you have a problem with his original statement saying i'm not going after reporters and then finding out he was signed off on it? >> right. i'm not a lawyer, but if you are creating a situation where i will call this individual a co-conspirator, but yet i really had no intentions of prosecuting them, then why did you defame this person and why did you fish around with different judges to try to get the permission to go do what you did? >> brian: they're asking him to

come back and explain this difference in between from the facts and his statement. >> it's absolutely not explainable. i think that's why you see the arrogance. there is something else cicero said. the arrogance of officialdom must be tempered and controlled. that's what you see in eric holder. >> brian: when you were fighting these wars, you were reading at the same time. colonel, let's talk about the nsa and the way in which we're being sur doing veiled. this stuff taking in the data mining in order to fight al-qaeda at the highest level possible. do you agree with it? >> absolutely not. i did not vote for the full extension of the patriot act. i did vote for 90 days so i could do more research and i did not find anything that justified the patriot act. benjamin franklin once said those who are willing to give up liberty in order to have more security will in the end give up both and not be deserving. >> brian: for a guy that wants every weapon necessary to fight al-qaeda, you don't want to hear what they're going to do next? >> the thing is that instead of throwing out this big net, let's do what is called trend

analysis. let's identify the enemy and go after the enemy. we have an incredible ability of going after the enemy. another case in point, look at the fact that we did not declare the tsarnaev brothers enemy combatant to give us the right type of intel. we rushed in and all of a sudden gave him his miranda rights. >> brian: if you had a choice, let's handle that first. lieutenant colonel allen west, always swimming against the tide telling us how he feels. great to have you on board and a member of the team. >> pass that spelling test. >> brian: cicero. thanks a lot. 12 minutes before the top of the hour. up next, do i need to tell you? eddie money performs in all types of weather. never, ever fails us. >> i'm too old. >> brian: you are not too old. martha mccallum might be at our concert instead of hosting her show. we'll find out what she has coming up. >> you'll see where i turn up. thank you. it is another tough day for the white house. the president's own words coming back to bite him on this nsa
