rest of the week. >> have a great day, folks. great to see you, heather. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> goodbye. >>gretchen: good morning. today is the middle of the week. wednesday, june 12. hope you're going to have a great day. i'm gretchen carlson. families fleeing their homes in the middle of the night as flames take over. [screaming] >>gretchen: now today's weather all across the united states might make things worse. we'll have the very latest for you. >>steve: meanwhile the n.s.a. leaker gone dark. nobody knows exactly where he is but we do know where he might go. now russia says they might welcome him with open arms. >>brian: good luck. have fun over there. he slapped his lawyer on the butt and the judge sent him to jail. but now florida's attorney general says i agree with brian kilmeade, not exactly

that but chad johnson didn't get a fair trial. i'm here to wet your appetite. i'm a cold open. put something on. "fox & friends" starts tphoufplt -- starts now. ♪ ♪ >>gretchen: hadn't heard that development. was that after you and i got into it on your radio show? >>brian: yes. i believe she monitors. i believe we're being surveiled. >>steve: a slap on the butt, is that worth 30 extra days. >>brian: that is the way some people celebrate. >>gretchen: i'm going to stick to my story which is he deserved it. he deserved it for disrespecting the junell. more about that story in a minute but first today's headlines. let's take you live to turkey. police spent the night trying to stop growing antigovernment riots there.

police fired back at rioters with tear gas and water cannons. later today the country's prime minister plans to meet with protest organizers. for more than a week they have been camping out in that park there. they're trying to stop a development project. it could grow to something bigger. massive wildfires in colorado burning million-dollar mansions to the ground. four major fires are burning there at this hour. the one just outside colorado springs causing the most damage. the black forest fire destroying 8,000 acres. none of it has been contained. over 5,000 people forced from their homes in the middle of the night. 60 homes, some worth millions of dollars, simply reduced to ash. >> they had the road blocked off. they wouldn't let us in. finally i persuaded them to

let me go get our dog and a couple of vehicles. just pray that everything turns out all right for people. >>gretchen: in nearby royal george, another fire forcing a prison to evacuate. over 900 inmates have been moved to another prison. another medical chopper goes down, this time one person has been killed. according to reports it was the patient. the crash happened late last night in oklahoma. the chopper taking off from the hospital when it reportedly lost power. it hit the ground and burst into flames. two other people on board were hurt. they are in critical condition. chad johnson did not deserve 30 days in jail for slapping his lawyer's butt, so says the attorney general of florida. pam bondy says the judge in the case went too far. "although we never condone domestic violence this reflects judicial temperament." legal experts say bondy

could file a complaint and the judge could be disciplined. your headlines.me? this is a gender thing. i said yesterday i don't care if the judge was a woman or a man. i think it is becoming a bigger story because people are saying she was -- i think it's one of the reasons people are talking about it more. >>brian: i thought it was a temper tantrum by the judge. you don't like chad johnson, that's none of your business. you already made your ruling. if he did something crazy, he was responding to the question of were you happy with your representation. he did the same thing you do after a six-yard game. >>steve: he patted his attorney on the butt. the judge got a little angry at that and gave him 30 days in jail. >>gretchen: what you guys are forgetting is he already violated his probation. >>brian: she already ruled. >>gretchen: when you violate your probation and you knock the head off your wife after the first day of marriage, you might show a

little respect in the courtroom. >>steve: that is not against the law. that little pat, does that deserve 30 days in jail? the attorney general of florida says no. >>brian: let's talk about something a little less controversial. let's talk about international terrorism and should you be exposing leaks by the administration because you do not like the program that they have in place. >>gretchen: wow, this is less controversial. >>brian: just being sarcastic. let's talk a little bit about russia because they have come to the aid of edward snowden perhaps. they are examining the possibility of offering him asylum and maybe a railroad pass right from hong kong to russia. >>gretchen: russia actually prosecutes and imprisons their own whistle-blowers and protesters but now they're going to welcome an american one with open arms. >>brian: it's unbelievable. >>steve: mr. putin's spokesman said if a request for asylum is made by mr. snowden, they will consider it. one of the members of parliament over there says that moscow takes upon itself the defense of people persecuted for

political reasons. it's political now, suddenly why people are after mr. snowden. we should point out this international man of mystery, we don't know exactly where he's at but security officials in hong kong say there is no reason to believe he left hong kong. the presumption is he's at a more secure hotel. but russia, come on, the conventional wisdom is if he's going to go anywhere, it would be china. >>brian: putin won his election because he tends to control both sides basically being anti-american. once again the resetting -fl our relationship with russia, this is a small portion of it, just an example of it, does not exist. they have absolutely no respect for us. i would like to know how many people are running to russia for freedom? i need to be able to express myself, vladimir, would you give me a hug? where is he now? >>gretchen: the french actor who went to russia to get citizenship there. another interesting thing about this story, number

one, there is supposedly a lot more leaks coming out. according to the guardian, they have more classified information. also "the washington post" who mr. snowden had gone to to try to develop the story with them, they are on record saying they did not get the story because they told him there were no guarantees to publish anything he told them. they also want the government's opinion whether information would be harmful to national security. that happens frequently in the news business, you go to the government and say should we publish this story because could it hurt national security? they apparently did and stkaoeupded not to go -- and decided not to go with it. >>brian: glenn beck believes this guy is a hero. i don't believe he's a hero. most of you think he is. today bill girk talks about how they adjusted. they were telling al qaeda agents you've got to stop using microsoft. you've got to start using different software programs

or avoid the new prison program exposed by this 29-year-old hero who finds himself in hong kong. >>steve: in that item brian is referring to, it says some of the terrorists are actually angry at the websites, why didn't you warn us they might possibly be watching. hello? come on. meanwhile yesterday members of congress got a top secret behind-the- behind-the-closed-doors briefing on the programs. a number of lawmakers emerged alarmed at the extent of the program. ron paul, the longtime congressman from the great state of texas, he's worried about mr. snowden being droned. watch. >> i'm worried about somebody in our government might kill him with a cruise missile or a drone missile. we live in a bad time where american citizens don't even have rights, and that they can be killed.

but the gentleman is trying to tell the truth about what's going on. >>gretchen: at what expense? at what expense is he telling the truth. with all due respect, i think that's silly. not going to be killed by a drone. >>brian: alwaki was. >>steve: i think as long as mr. snowden is not at a cafe with jane fonda, he'll be fine. during the big filibuster we heard that a number of times from a senator. a new pew poll out right now about how you feel regarding surveillance. what's interesting is depending on the political party and who you were for in the white house, there's a real good chance that you flipped in your support. >>gretchen: if you look at january 2006, would it be acceptable or unacceptable, your views on the n.s.a. surveillance, looking at phone calls, records, that sort of

thing. you have to look at the political party. among democrats, it was -- >>brian: 61% said unacceptable for george bush to put an n.s.a. surveillance program in place. 37% said acceptable. let's flip forward to 2013 and ask the democrats the same question. 61% say thumbs up. 64% say thumbs up. when you have a scandal on the heels of an investigation, the program has no credibility. but the agents doing this stuff don't care who the president is. >>gretchen: i think we need to point out that it cuts both ways. republicans who supported the surveillance under george bush, less support the surveillance under president obama. it cuts both ways. i think it just shows that no matter what your political persuasion is, that tends to bias the way you feel about particular problems. >>brian: senator graham

says i'm still for this. there's other republican senators like saxby chambliss who say this program needs to be in place. congressman rogers, republican, says we need this. people on the inside don't care who's in the oval office. >>steve: keep in mind during the earlier time we were talking about it with george bush, the mainstream media beat the drum against him. look at the poll results. george bush should get an apology from a lot of people but he's not going to get it because mainstream media, it all comes down to do you trust the government? it looks like that has changed a little bit. joe biden, you've got to listen to this. back in 2006, here's joe biden on cbs, and he is today saying 180 degrees different from what he said in this sound bite. >> i don't have to listen to your phone calls to know what you're doing. if i know every single phone call you make, i'm able to determine every single person you talk to, i can get a pattern about

your life that is very, very intrusive. and the real question here is: what do they do with this information that they collect? that does not have anything to do with al qaeda. and we're going to trust the president and the vice president of the united states that they're doing the right thing, don't count me in on that. >>brian: did you tell president obama you're out on this? unless he's changed his mind. because it's even more stiff than it was in 2008. >>gretchen: the president himself contradicted himself. >>steve: i think senator obama would be very disappointed in what president obama is doing. >>brian: it would be having interesting if the president of the united states could at least own up to the fact that as senator and as president he has a totally different opinion. and if you want to win over independents, you could say once i sat behind that desk in the oval office, i realize what george bush realized back then and if there is a tremendous responsibility and i have to go a little bit further than i ever imagined to keep americans safe. >>steve: and what those

members of congress who got that closed door briefing last night discovered is this program that started out small targeting just people internationally, foreigners, now has gone so broad and so big and targets all of us. they're a little shocked. >>brian: everyone is behind closed doors and then tell us what happened. >>gretchen: coming up, the n.s.a. whistle-blower has gone dark in hong kong. how he cut a deal to sell our secrets to the chinese? possibly. >>brian: scientists find proof that every mom has a favorite. which of these young men does mom love the most? we will find out. my mom is going to be forced to make a choice right now? is it a secret ballot or behind closed doors. >>steve: fine, brian. it's jim. >>brian: is someone listening to my mom's phone calls and finding out?

stuart says the country has free speech and the right to political dissent. is he really hiding out there because there's close connection to china. let's ask gordon chang author of "the coming collapse of china." why is he there? >> i think he's there because he wants to defect to china.

ri . >> one of the largest group of doctors now becoming part of a new trend. doctors telling medicare patients they're no longer welcome. good morning to you, doctor. >> good morning, gretchen, how are you? >> i'm fantastic. so you currently treat more than 8,000 patients. you're going to keep the existing patients but you're not going to accept any new medicare patients, is that correct? >> that's correct. we actually have 8,000 medicare patients. our practice has more than 50,000 patients. >> so why? >> medicare has put on us a new set of burdens. if you've been to a doctor's office recently, you've probably seen them using a computer. my patients really don't want to see the top of my head as i hunt for what box to pick, but we're

flau mandated to use this. >> my physician was explaining how costly it was and how you were going to have to wait longer for appointments as they put all this data into the computer. am i correct in saying that's not just for medicare patients, it's for every patient? >> it's for everybody, medicare mandated. when we changed over to our electronic system last summer, it brought our practice to a halt. we were down to seeing two or three patients in the course of a morning. it was horrible. >> and that's the result of obamacare, correct? >> it actually predates it, but we have to reach ever increasing milestones in order to stave off these financial penalties.

there's things that we have to report, so if you're in to see me for a cold, i need to ask when your last mammogram and eye exam was and send all that information to medicare or i will receive a cut on my fees from medicare. >> interesting. i want to take a look at that graphic because it shows doctors decreasing medicare over time. these are doctors accepting medicare patients, and in 2012 down to 58%. do you expect that number to keep dropping? >> i think it's going to get worse. we have more burdens coming our way. we have restrictions on what labs we can draw, what tests we can perform, what surgeries we can recommend. and coming next year is an incredible new burden. just like any new grocery store item has a bar code, every one

of our procedures has a code. we're now going to have to learn 80,000 new codes. you know what happens in a grocery store when a checker can't find a code, we're going to be shut down in our office when we can't find a code. >> wow. thank you, doctor. thanks for your thoughts. all the best. it was a murder case that stumped detectives for years. how did the victim's daughter catch. alleged murderer on her own? and the way your kids can beat the heat on the cheap. with the spark miles card from capital one, bjorn earns unlimited rewas for his small business take theseags to room 12 please.

wildfires burning across colorado. huge multimillion dollar mansions destroyed by the flames. maria is tracking the latest conditions. >> good morning, everyone. today we're talking about gusty winds continuing out across sections of colorado and the rockies. of course that will not be helping out the conditions as far as fighting those wildfires across parts of the rockies. that includes sections of arizona and also the state of california and also nevada. so we have a number of red flag warnings in effect. temperatures will be hot yet again. widespread 100s across new mexico and arizona. parts of the plains of the southeast well into the 90s. 97 high temperature in memphis. and mean into the mid-atlantic we could be seeing severe storms. and that area shaded in red, including the stu of chicago is where you have a greater risk to be seeing tornadic activity and

even those longer track thunderstorms. by thursday the storm heads east. risk for storms in the mid-atlantic, including cities like d.c. and philadelphia. so pretty platted areas that could be looking at severe weather over the next couple of days. now i'm outside joined by everybody. >> it is effort weather out here for bowling. if you're looking for summer fun for your kids, we have something here up your alley. it was one year ago that bruce davis, the founder of kids bowl, joined us, and we had a beautiful day. >> no rain. >> here we are for the second annual fox bowl-off. >> i cannot believe you set this up outside. it's perfectly balanced. >> wen't set it up. we have a great crew. >> how can kids bowl free all

summer? >> well, we have 1,028 bowling centers in the united states and canada that provide children two free games all summer long to pay back for the way the community supports them. in the winter and spring bowling centers are compact. we've had 6 million kids in the program. >> and the good thing is the kids don't have to be too good because you have the bumpers. >> right. them are pretty good. >> do we have bumpers today? >> no bumpers today. >> and it's 15 and under. >> maria, you're the rookie. get out there. it's going to be boys versus girls. >> let's go over here. >> now, be careful. remember last year you started with a strike. >> i did? >> yes. >> thanks for reminding me. i thought i got all gutters.

>> i don't think the average person knows how much stuff google's got on all of us. >> i think that's right. google has a lot of cool services people like to use. you give google a lot of sensitive information about yourself. so think about all the times, all the things you've searched on google. think about all the youtube videos you've watched, all your g-mail, all the information in your g-mail accounts google has access to and uses for advertising purposes. >> how could google or another search engine use on you for instance, a political campaign, to help somebody win? >> sure. if i do searches for beer, new york giants, anything like that, google knows that about me and knows i'm perhaps interested in that. so maybe if they want to show me an ad hillary clinton in 2016 at a giants game drinking a beer, i

would be more likely to respond positively to that. >> sure. given the fact that google and mr. schmidt had been big supporters of the obama campaign, does that send an aten that up on you, thinking i wonder if anything's going on here? >> he did recently create a new firm that's i think going to leverage things. so anytime there's a potential to take information, used in one place and use it in another, that creates some unease. i don't know what's going to happen with specific analystics. there's not a lot of privacy law in this country it tell them not to do something.

his home as well. there is no doubt he has mental problems. but is the man accused in the uss cole bombing too nuts to stand trial? a u.s. military review board says nope. the panel says he is sane enough to cooperate with his defense. he could face the death penalty. the attack in 2000 left 17 american sailors dead. incredible video now. watch this guide dog and trainer are being hailed heros for saving a woman from a run away car. he was leading the woman as part of a final training test. you can see the dog and his trainer turn around as the car jumps the sidewalk and heads for them. the trainer then pushed everyone out of the way. >> he kind of alerted me that there was something pretty bad happening behind us. the worst could have happened. just where we were positioned and how it happened was pretty incredible that nobody got hurt. >> gretchen: elderly woman was behind the wheel. no word why she lost control. and those are your headlines.

>> steve: meanwhile, a fox news alert. let's take you live to the country of turkey. images from turkey there because while you were sleeping, more violence erupting there. >> brian: believe it or not, those people do not like the strict islamic law coming their direction. police trying to stop the riots. conner powell seen stuff like this before. he's live with the developing details. how big a deal is this to the region? >> well, certainly fits into what we've seen in the past sort of 2 1/2 hours with the arab spring. but whether or not this is like what we've seen, it's tough to say. for the first time in nearly two weeks, istanbul's historic square is now free of protesters and it is calm there.

but the battle for the square was anything but peaceful. late last night, turkish riot police moved in with tear gas, water hoses and rubber bullets. that's when demonstrators began throwing molotov cocktails and rocks and the violence erupted. several thousand or so protesters that were in the square retreat to do a nearby park. that's the very site that these protests were sort of beginning several weeks ago. the turkish government wants to put in a shopping mall. but violence started and nationwide antigovernment protests took off. but the violence of the past two weeks is really not about a park, but about the future of turkey. the mainly young, secular and urban protesters believe the prime minister of turkey is trying to force islam on the country. he has signed into law limiting the sale of alcohol and given islam a more prominent part in society in turkey. critics say he's increasingly anti-democratic and authoritarian, dismissing

protesters and crowds as rivera. turkey is a member of nato and also staunch u.s. ally. this is no doubt causing concern in washington, d.c. and capitols across europe. he did say earlier today that he would meet with protesters, reversing himself from several weeks ago when he said he would not meet with protesters. now we're hearing word that protesters won't meet with him. what happens next is anyone's guess. like i said earlier, this has some -- there is some parallels between arab spring. but this is a very different country that is a growing economic powerhouse and it is a democratically elected government. it is a different country, but one worth watching in the future. >> brian: they wanted into the e.u. and they're not protesting for islamic law. they're protesting because gradually they're getting stricter and stricter. correct? >> that's right. there is a sense there -- i was there a couple of weeks ago coming back from afghanistan talking to some people. there is a sense the country is becoming more islamic. that the government there is

trying to recruit arabs to come visit, particularly shopping malls. some of this is done in the name of growing the economy. other is seen as a name of growing the islamic turkish government, whether or not it is in the economic interest or sort of the islamic interest of the government, it's not clear. but it is clear that there is a significant part of the country there that is really unhappy with that government. >> brian: they like this thing where men and women are equal. they kind of like to keep that going. that's not what the islamic law would do. thanks so much. >> gretchen: let's bring you back home to the nsa story. this is a global story as well because edward snowden, the leaker, still believed to be in hong kong, although they don't know where. back here on capitol hill, there are a group of senators trying to push a bill now to declassify the secret fisa rulings, the foreign court you have to go to supposedly to get access to people's private information. is that request to declassify all of this information as dangerous as what the leaker

actually did because now we're going to be putting all that information out to the terrorists and the rest of the world, telling everyone what the united states is trying to do to combat terrorism? >> brian: the damage is done. there is a column in the washington beacon and he's got great source. he's a terror guy and go to guy. he says the prism created an uproar within al-qaeda. they've shifted communications. the jihaddists have to more secure areas. when it comes to microsoft, that's key for our success. they're telling all their guys to get out of microsoft immediately. leave windows behind and go to linix. on software, they called on al-qaeda members to shift to one called tour. that's secure right now. and to use jitsu as a software program, urging everyone to leave the ones that were listed in our leaker's documents that came out from the prism program. they're already making moves. don't let anybody tell you this has not affected the people

fighting the war on terror. >> steve: gretchen touched on this. there are eight u.s. senators who are now asking to open up these fisa court documents to declassify them. it's a mix. it's prominent liberals, but it's also mike lee, a republican from utah. it's also kelly ayotte, republican from new hampshire. she supports as long as it doesn't endanger current or future interlopes. the problem is -- intel ops. the problem is if you declassify stuff, does it become dangerous? here is form head of the c.i.a. >> we can't have this information out there even though the press wants to analyze it. we'd all like to analyze it, you can't do that. what you're doing is alerting our enemies to how we're catching them. you're also alerting our enemies to the people who are giving us information about them who they can kill and torture. >> i think it's very damaging because it gives the terrorists an idea of how we collect and

what we might know. and you can't just inform the american people. you're informing the terrorists when you lay something like that out. >> steve: americans need to know what the government is doing and many feel the government is getting too big behind our backs. >> gretchen: at what expense? now the terrorists know that twitter didn't involve themselves so that's safe for terrorists and that's dangerous. as brian explained all the other web sites now. maybe the united states can now go and look into these web sites, which will create a whole nother problem about looking into more activity. >> brian: steve, your point is well taken. can you thread that needle? can you thread the needle to keep great programs, our big advantage is the servers are here. we have great technology. how do you thread that needle into watching people's privacy, at the same time explain the program to assuage their worries if possible. at the same time keeping the integrity of the program in place, which guys like james

woolsey and rudy guiliani have a hard time imagining. >> gretchen: graham was involved in creating the program and he says we need to keep it intact, but it does need checks and balances. >> no one can listen into your phone calls or mine without a warrant being issued by a federal judge. they have to show the judge that the terrorists that we're following has made a phone call to your number before we can monitor content. the people who have abscess to this program -- access to this program are in the dozens, not the hundreds. they have a paper trail. we have stopped terrorist attacks before they were executed because of this program. if we lose this program, we don't interrogate detainees anymore. we kill them. the ones we catch, we read them their miranda rights like in boston. we're not collecting human intelligence. if we destroy this technologycal program, then we're in trouble. >> steve: the problem is right now this president and this

administration going after terrorists, what's to say the next president doesn't say okay, let's go after pedophiles with this. and the next president after that says, what about bank robbers? next thing you know, they're going after people who evade taxes. it's a slippery slope. it started out as a small program, now it's very big. it's watching all of us. >> brian: i understand that argument. it's very good. i personally have more faith in the intelligence community than i have in politicians. >> steve: brian, i'm not willing to give up any liberty for a short-term security fix. >> brian: but the short-term is planes hitting building, people diving out of the -- >> gretchen: i am. >> steve: the program doesn't work. it didn't work with nidal malik hasan. >> gretchen: democrat and republican on the sunday shows, feinstein and rogers say they thwarted two major attacks. so would we rather have the attacks? that's the problem where you can see it on both sides. really hard. >> steve: there has just got to be a better way. the way it is right now, it is unconstitutional. meanwhile, today is george

herbert walker bush's 89th birthday. we've seen him wearing crazy socks at various events. take a look right there. there he is with the cheerleaders. and now to celebrate his birthday, his foundation is saying, go ahead and send pictures of you with some crazy socks. >> gretchen: yep. he's known for his bright pink socks. i think those are some of his favorites. these are what some are sending. those are good. and we went out and god some socks here. we didn't get alt colorful ones. which ones would we send to him? >> brian: these are the only ones that he could get on his feet. we can't -- he's got socks! >> steve: as an homage, i'm going to wear a black and white sock the rest of the program. >> brian: steve, i think he'd rather have a gift card. >> gretchen: happy birthday. happy 89th. wow, i wonder what he'll do for

his birthday today. coming up, democrats passed obamacare. now we find out what's in it. not only will your doctor change, surplus states may havee to bail out the broke ones. stuart varney next 'one size fits all'. it doesn't. that's crazy. we're all totally different. ishares core. etf building blocks for your personalized portfolio. find out why 9 out of 10 large professional investors choose ishares for their etfs. ishares by blackrock. call 1-800-ishares for a prospectus, which includes investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. read and consider it carefully before investing. risk includes possible loss of principal.

>> we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it. >> brian: right. then she blinked. are you retiring and receiving health care benefits from your

state? well, obamacare might end that luxury. state and local governments have an option of moving their retirees into affordable care act's new exchanges, shifting the burden to the federal government, hence the taxpayer. stuart varney is here and you predicted this. >> many times on this program, we predicted this kind of bailout for pension and health plans of retired city and state workers. this is how it's going to happen. you transfer the health care benefits to workers, from the health care plan of the state and the city and put them into these federally subsidized exchanges under obamacare. the winner in this, the state and local governments, get the future cost off the books. the losers are the federal taxpayer because we are now on the hook for those state and city workers and their health care retirement payments. >> brian: so you're telling me most of those pensions are still paying the price for the collapse in 2008, they have not bounced back? >> yeah.

cities and states all across the country have amosed this huge debt. it runs into trillions of dollars. it's money that's got to go out in the future for pension and health benefits for retired state workers. that's an unpayable debt. so what do they do? they transfer some of that debt from the cities and the states to the federal taxpayer under obamacare. >> brian: do we have an example of that in chicago? >> we do. rahm emanuel is trying o do exactly that, pushing the city worker away from the city and to the federal taxpayer under these exchanges which have to be set up under obamacare. >> brian: what will we be hearing on varney and company? >> more on this because this is the back door health care benefit bailout that we've been predicting for a long time. here it comes. coming right at you down the pike. >> brian: do you have a band? >> a band. a favorite band is the beatles -- >> brian: no, do you have a band on your show? i'm just giving you an idea. it will be good to go to a break with a live band. >> sometimes you hit me with

is also a dad. good morning, dave. >> good morning, gretchen. >> gretchen: it's appropriate father's day coming up on sunday. let's take a look at some of our dads who wrote in to us concerned about financial questions. patrick from texas, i thought we had done a decent job teaching our kids about money, but evidently we didn't. my 20-year-old daughter and 23-year-old son are horrible with money. i feel angry at them because they won't listen. we're doing great financially, but we're afraid to leave them anything in our will. what should we do? >> well, it's a hard thing to watch people that you love do stupid self-destructive things. with your kids, it's particularly hard. my kids are grown now and you just can't control everything they do. that's part of the program. you can control what you do. it would not be a blessing to them to leave them money if they're misbehaving with money. you should leave it to someone else and you should go ahead and tell them you're going to do that. >> gretchen: wow. so just be up front and straight and honest about it. maybe it would change their behavior. you never know. brian from tennessee had this question. my wife and i just had a baby.

how much money do we need to start saving for their college fund? oh, i see three numbers in their future. 529. >> 529 is a great way to go or three letters, esa. educational savings account, which is another way to save for college as well. that's the rough ira of college. it's probably the first step. you're allowed to save up to $2,000 per year, per child. it grows tax free, like a roth iar. that's 166.67 a month and if you start at age zero and do that 18 years averaging 12%, you would have about $126,000 in your college account. i think they'll be able to go to school. >> gretchen: all right. here is jonathan from louisiana. he's 31, married with kids and look at getting life insurance. what's the best type of policy and how much coverage should i get? this is a great question, dave, because there is different policies that you can get for the entire lifetime or just a chunk of lifetime.

right? >> exactly. there is cash value type insurance, which is called whole life or universal or variable. then there is term life. jonathan, thank you for asking that question. you're being a responsible dad to make sure your family is taken care of if something happens to you. congratulations. you need about 10 to 12 times your income and the best way to buy it is on 15 or 20-year level term life insurance. never invest money in life insurance policy. instead just buy term insurance. it's very inexpensive these days. >> gretchen: all right. great advice, dave. happy father's day if i don't see you before. probably won't. we'll see you again next week. have a good one. >> thank you, gretchen. >> gretchen: your wedding is over and you've been depressed for a whole year. is that normal or is that nuts? dr. keith ablow examining brian's brain right now. first on this day in history in 1990, "it must have been love," the number one tune.

>> steve: i've got his answers here from jay carney. he saw them on tv. >> gretchen: very good tie in to the news of the day. here is e-mail number one, my fiance's 52-year-old sister has been a widow for 14 years and hasn't dated or had anything to do with men since she became a widow. is this normal? >> you know, it's not normal. this is a complicated grief reaction and it's sad. we understand the loss. but this is substituting for starting the next chapters of her life story. this is where psychiatry is powerful in getting people to pick up the pen and start chapters going forward that respect the past, but aren't hostage to the past. >> steve: get some support. >> absolutely. >> brian: we have another e-mail that says i overanalyze everything. is this normal? >> normal. it's me, right? i'm no good at dinner parents. people cry. [ laughter ] i'm like okay.

>> brian: let me know. >> steve: they tell you. >> and they tell me. no. i think people remain on the surface of things much too much. that's what's frustrating to me. if somebody tends to go deep, good for them. >> gretchen: note to my husband. now you like me better. >> steve: it's a big couch. e-mail number three, my sister spent years imagining her wedding and planning it perfectly and now that it's over, she's depressed and gained weight and cries. does she need professional help? >> oh, my god. >> brian: yes. >> she really does. this is nuts. because to focus on the event and not the relationship, she's using that event and was using it the whole time as a way to forestall, again, the future. i don't know if this is a marriage or whether this was a wedding. but there is the potential that it's a real relationship. but not if she's focused on the ordeserves. >> brian: it reminds me of how people view the olympics.

you get the gold medal and you reached your goal and you're flat. >> the way that you describe that, it makes me feel like you've been through something like that. >> gretchen: oh, oh. >> was it tennis? i know you were an athlete. >> brian: talk to the crew. >> you're a varsity broadcaster. >> brian: really? >> you are wearing the jacket. you should have a letter. >> steve: listen to this pep talk. >> soccer. all i'm telling you is that this is the field now. this is the field and you're the top goal scorer. don't let these people tell you you're second string. >> brian: not to my face. >> i think sometimes you implied it. >> steve: stop it! >> brian: if i am varsity, i would read the tease right now. >> do it the best you've ever done it. >> brian: would be robber no match for grandma and her gun.

"fox & friends'" third hour unless hemmer and mccallum overslept, it's our final hour, it starts now. ♪ >> steve: very nice. >> gretchen: good morning, everybody. look. >> gretchen: oh, my gosh, strike. >> steve: very, very nice. kids bowl free all across the united states of america. yep. find out how. you can take your kids out all over the country right here on "fox & friends" on this wednesday. >> brian: get them away from x box and game boy, game cue.

>> steve: my kids love bowling. we got a place three miles from our house. when the kids were little, we had them inflate the bumpers. now they're bigger. >> brian: and they still want the bumpers up to inflate our scores. >> gretchen: no, that's for us. by the way, the young woman on the left is a child and got a strike. >> steve: old enough o bowl. the kids would ask for the bumpers and i would ask for the beer. >> brian: now they're in therapy, steve. >> steve: dr. keith is going to see me. >> gretchen: fox news alert for you. flames burning million dollars mansions in colorado and forcing the evacuation of a prison. >> get out! go! >> gretchen: four major fires burning at this hour. this fire just outside of colorado springs, destroying 8,000 acres. over 6,000 people forced from their homes. 60 homes, some worth millions of

dollars, reduced now to ash. >> they wouldn't let us in. finally i persuaded them to let me go and get our dogs and couple of vehicles. just pray that everything turns out all right for people. >> gretchen: nearby royal gorge, a prison evacuated. imagine trying to handle this, over 900 inmates had to be moved to another facility. bomb squad investigating threats now and suspicious packages all across the country. at portland international airport. luckily the backpack was deemed harmless and no flights delayed. yesterday richmond international airport was evacuated for a bomb threat. several buildings near the capitol in atlanta, princeton university, university of new hampshire and several near the capitol in atlanta evacuated because of bomb threats. remember this video, a man allegedly sends his nephew in the street carrying a fake grenade launcher wearing a scarf and sheet?

he reportedly wanted to see how long it would take police to respond to his fake terrorism scenario. this morning that trial for that man, michael david turley gets underway. he has pled not guilty. here is the question of the day, do parents really have a favorite child? >> you get to school. >> you're letting him stay home? >> i can't believe this. if i was bleeding out my eyes, you would make me go to school. this is so unfair. >> that's it. i want out of this family. >> gretchen: the answer is yes, they do, according to a new study about 34% of moms just like brian's mom, say they like one child more than the other. i'm reading the teleprompter. 28% of dads admitted the same thing. has your mom ever admitted she likes one of you better? >> brian: no. peter johnson, jr., is he on today? >> steve: he's going to be on shortly. >> brian: i'm going to retain him because i have not been given rights for this. this is for the sibling segment

two months ago and to use it again for this moment, it's outrageous and i will not stand for this! >> steve: there you are a picture with your mother and brothers. >> brian: for the record, she does not have a favorite. >> steve: no. of course not. >> brian: one thing, she does not like this music. >> gretchen: she was not called for this poll. according to the poll, 34% of moms have a favorite. >> brian: right. but do you? >> gretchen: no. it depends on the day. this is the caveat that i give to that study. sometimes your kids make you angry, so maybe you like the other one a little bit better that day to even it out. >> brian: you should have coach's poll. every day, rank your kids. and submit it to usa today. >> steve: absolutely. let's talk about our top story and we're talking about that guy, mr. snowden. don't know exactly where he is at. it's interesting, yesterday the speaker of the house said that edward snowden, a traitor. then yesterday at the white house briefing, jay carney was asked, so is this guy a traitor or a whistle blower?

then he said he's a whistle blower, right? carney said, i'm not willing to comment on the status of an individual under investigation. come on! take a lane. he's either one or the other. >> gretchen: i don't know if we know yet completely because we don't know exactly what his main mission was. was it to -- >> steve: whistle blower 12347 to let americans know what was going on and so many of us were being looked into as far as our personal information, or there are other experts out there who say we don't have all the pieces to the puzzle yet. was there something going on with china? is that where he's gog end up? could there have been a prearrangement potentially? to that he is are just valid questions being asked. so in this case, usually jay carney uses that as an excuse for a lot of other questions, but in this case, i'm not sure we do have all the answers. >> brian: he did sign a nondisclosure agreement to work for his company that he signed a contract with the government to gain access to highly classified intelligence. we all agree on that. he made public, which is a violation of the thing he signed, which means he has

committed espionage, which means he could face life if prison. if he thought he was so innocent, why is he in hong kong? he knows what he did. that is a violation and there are things he could have done if he was indeed as alarmed with the nsa prison program that he said he is. >> steve: absolutely right. he broke the law in disclosing the stuff. he could have gone -- there is a method and a protocol to become a government whistle blower. he could have done that. but clearly he felt so strongly, he felt that what the government is doing is unconstitutional. and that's one of the reasons why putin's spokesperson said, you know what, if he's looking for a place, we will take him here in russia. >> gretchen: that's a double standard because russia imprisons their own whistle blowers. >> brian: for being rich. >> gretchen: and protesters. but they're going to welcome an american with open arms? >> steve: he's a hero. >> gretchen: that would just be a fly in the ointment there. >> brian: they arrested a punk rock band with purple hair. >> steve: you know what? >> brian: whose name i can't says on television. >> steve: if he's going to defect to either one of the big

countries, you would think it would be china since he appeared on the same day our president was meeting with china's president. meanwhile, ron paul, very worried about mr. snowden, says that this government, given what they have done in the past, might actually drone him. >> somebody in our government might kill him with a cruise missile or a drone missile. i mean, we live in a bad time where american citizens don't even have rights and that they can be killed. but the gentleman is trying to tell the truth about what's going on. >> brian: so there is a way to do it. here is the thing, for those people who say, what a hero this gentleman is, like michael moore, glenn beck, i know goes across party lines, senator graham and john boehner said flat out this is treason. he's a traitor, says john boehner. here is what i could tell you. al-qaeda loves it because they have now already adjusted, according to bill gets of the washington beacon, they're

laying off microsoft and going to certain software. they're finding out the nine servers in the u.s. and using other servers. once again, when james clapper, who really gets -- rarely gets things right, he saw how it exposed what they were doing to in order to keep an eye on terrorists overseas and he knows they've adjusted. they've gone to different software called jitsu. microsoft is now out. they're now using, telling everyone if you're on certain sites, do not use microsoft. that was our number one weapon to tracking them. >> gretchen: that's the heart of the argument. do we give up our liberty for our safety? that is the heart of this entire argument and it's why it's hard to say that you are totally 100% on one side or the other. >> steve: you can't give up your liberty a little bit. eventually it leads to something big. besides mr. clapper, you referred to him, senator widen asked him flat out in march, is the government collecting data? he just flat out said no. that was a lie. >> gretchen: the program started

in april. this particular program started in april and let's not get back to the argument about whether or not the government should be allowed -- >> steve: no, i'm saying clapper lied. >> gretchen: should the government be allowed to keep some things secret from the american public? >> steve: gretchen, do you trust the government? >> gretchen: not completely. >> steve: exactly. >> gretchen: i don't agree with -- i'm entitled to my opinion. >> steve: absolutely. >> brian: i think politicians and the people in the c.i.a. and nsa who spend their lives tracking people like bin laden, al-awlaki and the others, those are the people who say i need these tools to be successful. they wake up every day knowing there could be a bombing in boston and there could be planes hitting in new york city, and the pentagon could be exploded. they're saying, give me the tools to be successful. they don't care about my e-mail. now, if you have evil intent, if you have people that only think about politics, we should discuss it, but in a way that doesn't compromise programs that

are designed for one thing. to keep us safe. there is nothing nefarious about trying to track people running across the desert -- >> steve: find a system to do it that is legal. that is constitutional where you don't spy on everybody. >> gretchen: fine. my only point is that i do believe that some things should not be made public if we're going to try and keep the terrorists at bay. >> steve: who do you trust? somebody in the government know -- i get secrecy. but when the government, the program blows up, it's crazy. >> brian: benedict arnold thought we would be better off with the king. that's why he defected to the other side and wanted to turn p. was he right? was he a hero to some people? i don't think so. >> gretchen: this is why it's such a tough argument issues getting back to what the heart of the argument is because it's really hard to do 100% on liberty or safety. liberty or safety? >> steve: liberty. 11 minutes after the top of the hour. a robber no match for a grandma and her gun.

>> back up! >> steve: how that grandma saved the day for her war hero husband. >> gretchen: yesterday he helped us get out of our lease. what's he going to tell us? >> brian: what you need to know before you buy a home. >> steve: he's got jazz hands. >> brian: i think he plays the piano. our landing time got moved back another hour.

>> steve: yesterday we told you how to get out of your lease if you want to buy a new house. so now that you think you're ready to buy that house, there are a lot of details that you need to know about. that's why bob massi, who is our legal analyst from las vegas, is back with part 2 of his three-part series. good morning. so yesterday you were talking about if somebody is leasing a house but see a house that they really like, they try to break the lease, you dealt with that. now we've got a question for you, when looking for a new home, what is the first thing to consider? >> are you really ready to buy, because the problem is there is this emotional thing of wanting to own again. it's human nature. they got their modification and short sale and all of a sudden, they're saying, man, i really

want to get this home again. so it's literally sitting down as a family, if there is a family involved saying, okay, what's the pros and cons of going into buying this home? >> steve: you got to make sure, for instance, can i afford it? is it just an emotional thing? i love the look ofhat kitchen or whatever it is. >> you know, the biggest thing is looking where you are from an employment perspective and looking where your finances are and understanding your debt structure. because a lot of people that didn't make payments for many years, they basically paid a lot of debt off. some of them didn't pay any debt off. some went on vacation. they still have debt. so you have to study where you are financially in order to make the decision. >> steve: okay. that ties in with what we're talking about right here. based on these considerations what, should a typical homeowner do? you outlined a couple. >> i think you sit down and you for example, if you have children, are they in high school? is this home close to where you go to the -- the kids go to school? is it close to church or

shopping area? i think homeowners no longer have an excuse. they cannot blame -- they've learned -- short sales and modifications have been around for 30 years. it so happens everybody understands what it is as a homeowner. so they can't look any more to blame the lender and the mortgage broker and blame the realtor. they got to take some responsibility 'cause they have been through it, particularly people who lost things. >> steve: absolutely. >> so understand when you make this decision, second time, shame on you. don't rush into that decision just because you want to own so bad all over again. >> steve: and that brings us to our final question. after all this, how do you know if it's the right thing to do in. >> i am thoroughly convinced more than ever before and honestly, get good advice. get a competent realtor. get somebody that really understands the marketplace and what your needs are. number two, have a competent lawyer. it's not expensive, steve. honestly. to have he or she look at the

paperwork. people didn't understand, why can't a lender take my home away? 'cause you signed these documents ten years ago. understand what the consequence of signing a promissory note. understand what it means when you sign a deed of trust. understand what an acceleration clause means. understand, understand. lawyers today consult a lot in this area. it's very good for us to do that because it's inexpensive and it helps people and that's what it's all about. >> gretchen: you got to separate the emotional from the practical. >> steve: your coming back tomorrow? >> i'm heading out to pittsburgh tomorrow where i grew up and taking my 7-year-old grandson. i'm loving it. >> steve: that's great. if you got questions for bob massi about real estate and what not, e-mail him. the address is right there. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> steve: great to have you. straight ahead, an actress' tweets, a plea for gun safety. immediately comes under attack from the left, losing half of her twitter followers. we're going to show you what she

party falls under. it's a real life event in culture. it's a book about something that's happening right now. we take that event, we put it in a coloring book and explain it to children. >> gretchen: the reaction was? >> well, a lot of people really loved it. but a lot of people did not like it. i mean, there was a lot of people that just simply told us that we should go away. >> gretchen: right. you got a lot of backlash specifically from the left on that. >> yes. >> gretchen: in fairness, you did have a coloring book, yes, we can, for the candidate obama. >> yes. >> gretchen: in 2008. that was his slogan. that sold out. >> it did. >> gretchen: did you have backlash from people on the right? >> no, they said way to go, guy. you made a great coloring book. and a lot of people was going to our web site at coloringbook.com and typing in obama, obama, obama. and i thought, this man is going to be elected. let's make a fantastic book about the new president. >> gretchen: that's really interesting. >> we did. >> gretchen: let's talk about the reverse reaction since the irs scandal broke. they were targeting words like tea party, patriot, et cetera.

what's happened to the sales? >> well, the books themselves have skyrocketed. just recently, just in the last week, probably 2 1/2 thousand of just this title, probably 5,000 of our constitution coloring books, just yesterday, right up the hudson river a community called clarkston, a councilman wants 2500 constitution books on patriotism, freedom, freedom much speech, liberty, justice, patriotic book to hand out at his fourth of july parade. >> gretchen: you build for all audiences because you were showing me the occupy coloring book. how is that doing in sales? >> this one was probably i would say not one of our best sellers. in fact, this one sold better in china and france than in the usa. >> gretchen: okay. you also did 9-11 books which you got flak for. >> yes. the 9-11 coloring book, we've made a couple. we did the original, question shall never forget 9-11. this book here. then we followed it up the year after with the true faces of evil terror.

this book prompted an e-mail from the white house e-mail server in which they basically said, you know, really not nice things to our company. >> gretchen: why? >> because we put people -- we put the evil people in here. >> gretchen: you put bill ayers who was one time an associate of barak obama. >> that's right. >> gretchen: is that why they were angry? >> i think so because they basically told us you fing, you know, i know. but they didn't write it out. >> gretchen: wait a minute. from the actual white house? >> our graphics and forensics people on our web team, the e-mail came from white house.gov. we responded to the e-mail and told them this is very inappropriate. the person signed it with their initials and we never heard back from them. we think they were just upset because we did a book on terror that tells the truth about terrorism. >> gretchen: wow. you serve all audiences. >> yes, we do. >> gretchen: it's very interesting to see how the tea

party book is. and princesses. let's not forget princesses. >> and dinosaurs. >> gretchen: after that e-mail you told me about, we need to go back to princesses. great to meet you. >> thank you very much. >> gretchen: continued success. >> thank you. >> gretchen: coming up, fox news alert. here is a live look inside the courtroom. we'll bring that to you live. and earlier, the girl who kicked butt at bowling. it must have been maria. can steve and brian stage a comeback or will they strike out again? stick around ♪

>> steve: i understand. perez, arrested. turns out he has a long rap sheet. not surprising. >> gretchen: a hollywood actress attacked on twitter for promoting gun safety. she just saw a report about a child who accidentally shot and killed his father. she then tweeted, please practice gun safety. this is horrible. critics said gun control, not gun safety is the answer. after that, she lost half of her followers. 100,000 people. >> steve: where is the tolerance? >> brian: fox news alert. while you were sleeping, more violence erupting in turkey. overnight police tried to stop growing antigovernment riots. not seen here. getting bad. conner powell live in jerusalem with the developing details. he's been all over the arab spring. is this what this is part of?

>> there certainly are parallels between this and the arab spring, but it's not exactly the same. there has been a chaotic 24 hours in istanbul as police and protesters clashed last night. police moved in using tear gas and water hoses and rubber bullets to try to move the protesters out. protesters responded with molotov cocktails and rocks. things got really violent as the two clashed last night. this all began after the turkish government wanted to destroy a park to build a shopping mall. those protests started two weeks or so ago, sparking nationwide antigovernment riots. the violence in the past two weeks isn't really about a park. but instead, the future of turkey. where this goes is anyone's guess now. there are still a lot of disagreements between the future of turkey and between the protesters and the government there. we'll have to wait to see if this turns into a full fledged protest demonstration like we saw across the arab world.

>> brian: yeah. doesn't look like it's going anywhere any time soon despite the government's work there. thanks so much. >> gretchen: just a quick note. after that coloring book segment, coloringbook.com in case you're interested. in the meantime, we're going to saddle up for our bowling. >> brian: absolutely. >> gretchen: our second round. maria molina is outside and she'll give us a first look at the weather before we bowl. >> that's right. get ready. i've been warming up. you're may team maim so hopefully we beat brian and steve very soon. first let's look at the weather. we have extreme weather, especially across parts of the southwestern u.s. where a number of red flag warnings and fire weather watches are in effect due to low humidity, gusty winds and not just warm temperatures, but hot temperatures. triple digits in phoenix, albuquerque, el paso. 94 the high temperature in the city of denver. extreme heat out there. storm system moving through parts of the midwest today, will be producing severe storms.

not just in the midwest, but parts of the mid atlantic. it's the area shaded in red where we have the greatest concern as far as any long lasting thunderstorms and even damaging winds and tornadoes and then as we head into tomorrow, more severe storms possible coming up, including the mid atlantic again, down into the southeast. now outside, i have steve. >> steve: that's right. it's perfect weather for bowling. we have warmed up and now it's time to bowl for bragging rights. we're joined by the co-founder of kids bowl free.com. bruce, kids all across the country can bowl free this summer how? >> all they have to do is go to kidsbowlfree.com and sign up. last year we had 2 million. we've had 6 million kids over the past five years and we'll have more than 2 million this year. >> steve: what's in it for you? why are you giving away all the bowling? >> the bowling centers are very busy in the fall and winter and spring. and this is kind of a way for them to pay back. bowling is america's number one participation recreation. we want to keep it going. kids are a big part of our

audience. so we want to keep them exposed to the sport. so the bowling centers are stepping up to the challenge. >> steve: very nice. >> it's great exercise as well. i see two games burns between 320 and 580 calories. >> plus you lift weight. >> that's right. >> steve: and during the hot summer, as brian and gretch put on their bowling shoes and jerseys during the hot summer, it's a good weather to be inside. >> it is. you walk about a half mile when you bowl two games. some people walk less 'cause they get a lot of strikes. >> steve: or gutter balls in our case. once again, we're going to find out who does a better job. we got mar where and gretchen. they're going to square off against brian and me. >> gretchen: we got to get the light balls. >> yes. which one is light? this one. >> they've been practicing. >> brian: have you been practicing? >> no, not at all.

first one, here we go. >> gretchen: maria, go for it. >> number one! >> gretchen: strike! >> steve: wait a minute! wait a minute! there is somebody behind there! >> gretchen: i saw some hand. >> that was a great shot. >> gretchen: oh, my god. we'll take a strike no matter how we get it. >> steve: this game is rigged! are you kidding me? >> gretchen: i think somebody likes maria a lot. >> brian: no kidding. >> gretchen: all right. here we go. >> come on, gretchen. >> gretchen: wow. >> steve: who are those hands? >> three or four. >> brian: come on, steve. clean up my mess. >> steve: come on!

>> gretchen: 45 minutes after the top of the hour. news by the numbers. two. drivers who use hands free cell phones are two times more distracted than people who don't talk and drive. the triple a study is the first to look at the effects of hands free driving. next, $764 billion. that's how much the united states expected to spend on food stamps over the next ten years. that's five times more than what we spent on our veterans. finally, the number three. that's how many star wars monsters sent this bridal party running for their lives. the photo shopped picture was inspired by this one that shows a t rex invading a different wedding. now over to brian. >> brian: thank you very much. if you're wondering where the scream is coming from, we have a hostage. it's bad enough the irs is targeting conservative political groups. now they're accused of seizing millions of your private medical records as well. fox's legal analyst peter johnson, jr. has been doing the research. peter, how do they know this together? >> there is a lawsuit in san

diego in the federal court by which a health care company says the irs came in and seized about 60 million medical records of 10 million patients. let's look what the medical records at risk are. 10 million americans, potentially all california state judges, celebrities and athletes, prominent executives. that's one in 25 adult american citizens. the lawsuit also alleges all kinds of bad behavior by the irs agents once they showed up at this health care facility that was marked with hippa signs, meaning it's privileged health information. they threatened, according to the lawsuit, to rip out the security servers if the information was not turned over, and then while they were there, they happened to call out for pizza and coca-cola and watch the ncaa tournament on the media system at this health care facility. so in the wake of obamacare, we now know irs agents are going to fan out across america to

enforce obamacare. to see this that says 15 irs agents went on a rampage, took health records of 10 million people and won't turn them back. this health care company, on behalf of these people are saying, give us the records back. destroy us and pay us compensation. what's going on? >> brian: just think about the control the irs will have over our health care very shortly or currently as we hire thousands more. >> that's the devastating issue that would go forward. how much and how often are we going to have to turn to courts to enforce our right of privacy, to enforce confidentiality in terms of health record, in terms of tax records and our health records, the new financial records for the irs. >> brian: right. 2 1/2 hours ago i came to the show and i saw the unauthorized usage of my family photo for the sibling show in may. suddenly it's playing a role in the show because now the topic

is about favorite. >> that's your mom and family. >> brian: this is unauthorized usage. i'd like to retain you and i would like to sue lauren pettersson. >> she's a friend of mine. so is -- >> brian: do i have a case? >> you have a case. we have to work out a settlement. do you own the photo? >> brian: i own it. >> you said one time use only? did you say one time use only? >> brian: no. >> then you have no lawsuit. they're off the hook. you lose. >> brian: all right. thanks for staying with me. >> i need the facts and the truth. don't make it up. >> brian: 11 minutes before the top of the hour. >> do we have a cougar here? >> brian: i think so. they're the most recent additions to the bush gardens. they flew here first class. they couldn't be happier. i have the same reaction when they tickle my belly. first let's check in with bell hemmer and find out what's on his show at the top of the hour. >> we'll see you on the radio today. >> brian: in a few hours. >> great line - up. rudy guiliani is here.

declining. >> steve: they are. >> very rapidly. >> steve: i remember that al gore movie, they talked all about the disappearing polar bears. but the lions, it turns out, are disappearing really fast. >> absolutely. a lot has to do with the population enroachment in africa, there is more livestock. remember wolves here or bears in the united states, people didn't like them around. and as a matter of fact, it's still controversial today to have wolves. >> gretchen: watch out for brian because -- >> brian: he is strong. >> his claws, they're retractible. >> gretchen: brian. >> brian: i think he wants to play. >> gretchen: you did warn us. >> brian wants to get into a match with our male. he's only 3 1/2 months ole right now, brian. that's why -- >> steve: he's memorizing your face, brian. >> brian: what has "the hangover" movie done for lions. >> steve: that was a tiger. >> none of that is a good idea because these guys are so powerful.
