husband's house -- i believe could be ex-husband -- wearing a bullet-proof vest looking for money. he called the cops. now she's in jail. "fox & friends" has more to that story. here comes the animation. then us. ♪ ♪ >>steve: why did she need the bullet-proof vest. >>brian: she thought her husband could have a gun. chris benson -- >>gretchen: they are an estranged couple. serious story we'll tell but in just a moment. >>brian: but she has been whacky and she was on baseball wives and is a bit of a different personality. over the edge. >>steve: now she's in the pokie. >>gretchen: more on that story in a minute. a lot of news breaking overnight. new details about how osama bin laden lived in pakistan for nine years without being caught. a scathing report being

made public. gross incompetence by pakistani officials is to blame. several agencies failed to investigate his compound ever. pakistan apparently closed the book on trying to find him in 2005. believe it or not, a pakistani police officer pulled over bin laden for speeding in 2002. we don't really know why he let him go. we also learned bin laden wore a cowboy hat outside so drones overhead would not detect him. >> it was over before it started. the trial of the captain of the costa concordia cruise ship was delayed. the reason there is a strike going on in italy. 32 people after the ship went on its side after crashing into rocks. the captain accused of leaving the ship before all of the 4,229 passengers and crew members were rescued.

she had a gun. i thought she came in with a bullet-proof vest because she said she fears he had a gun. >>gretchen: i believe the accusation is that she also had a firearm. >>brian: she was quickly -- after saying that she was traded to the orioles and then they had to deal with that. >>steve: meanwhile, on to the latest developments in the crash of asiana flight 214. for the first time we are hearing from the first pilots on board that plane. joining us with details from san francisco international airport adam housely. >> good morning, steve. we have officials that have come here not only from korea but also chinese officials are here meeting with some of those students. two of them were killed unfortunately when the plane crashed here on saturday. as for the pilot, that part of the investigation ntsb has begun. they are focusing on that at this point. they have the flight recorders that go along with the investigation. we have pictures from a passenger. ben levy was on the flight.

he took these photos on the plane and after he got off. it shows the scene around the flight as people were responding. first responders were there and passengers were getting off the plane, some of them with help literally on the back of flight attendants. others were making their way out themselves. as we get more of these details, we're starting to hear more about first responders. amazing stories of survival. one of the stories we're hearing about is a police officer. imagine this. fire fighters go on that plane. the smoke's there, the fire's there. there are people still trapped. but a police officer went on there without any fire gear at all and helped rescue people. take a listen. >> i didn't think about it. i knew those people were trapped in there and they needed help. we saw the black plume of smoke coming in. it was like something out of a nightmare. i was just doing my job. >> he's a hero. >> he is a hero. a number of heroes from that flight really starting to emerge. not only passengers but

flight attendants as well, first responders as well. the investigation will continue today. they will continue to talk to the pilots. they started that yesterday. they'll be talking with them more today as well. back to you in new york. >>steve: thank you. >>brian: the other major story is obamacare. we heard about a delay. businesses who are medium and large do not have to employ an insurance plan until 2015. don't worry about that. the revenue won't be coming in but somehow obamacare will last. or will it? it turns out the president's decision to delay the game and obamacare's implementation, at least some elements of it, might indeed not be -- hold up to the constitutional test. is it okay for the obama administration and do they have the authority to ignore the law they worked so hard to pass without any republican support? >>gretchen: that is what is percolating now after they released all of this last week before the holiday. i think now that members of congress are back from

break and really thinking about this, they're like wait a minute, you can't pick and choose which parts of the law you want to enact and which parts you want to throw out. keep in mind, republicans have wanted to throw out the whole thing for a long time. governor rick perry who recently announced he's not running for another term as governor of texas was on the greta show last night and here's what he had to say about that. >> i think if there is a real achilles' heel -- and there's many with this piece of legislation -- it's the exchanges. we did not choose to participate in them. and one of the things i think you're seeing this administration understanding now is because of the cost and because of the expertise that the federal government does not have either of, that they're looking for ways to get around the law as it's written. what do you really expect from a piece of legislation that the vast majority of the members of congress didn't read before they voted on? this administration is kind of may being it up as they

go. >>steve: they're making it up as they go, he says. what's interesting is when you read the actual law which was upheld by the u.s. supreme court, it is very clear the mandate has no provision allowing the president to suspend, delay or repeal it. so it has to start by the end of -- at the conclusion of this year. just imagine the outcry if mitt romney had been elected president of the united states and he tried not to implement obamacare. on the op-ed page today of the "wall street journal" they write like king james ii, barack obama decides not to enforce laws he does not like. >>brian: mitt romney would have, if he got elected done that right away. jay carney says we just want to get it right, so leave us alone. >>gretchen: he's listening to people who have complaints while business owners about how not cost effective it was. the other thing, specifically in my home state of minnesota, is that now you have two democratic

senators -- klobachar and al franken who are against the tax on medical devices. why do they care so much about it? there are 45,000 to 50,000 people employed in minnesota in those types of companies. minnesota is known for these types of companies. i find it interesting that two senators who no doubt voted for obamacare are going out on the road with orrin hatch and another democratic senator who is escaping me right now to try and repeal that part of obamacare. >>steve: senator hatch has written a letter to the secretary of h.h.s., and what he's asking is how come the subsidies, the amount of money the government is going to have to pay, has gone up 107% in the last three years? dr. krauthammer who was on hast night, and he said -- who was on last night, and he said that number has been baked into the equation all along. they have been low balling us all along.

they knew it wasn't going to be at that particular price tag. here's that sound bite. >> the entire enterprise was a gigantic bait and switch. the administration tried every gimmick in the book so that the president could say obamacare won't cost the treasury a dime. he said it again and again. and anybody over the age of nine would understand if we're going to increase, going to give health insurance to 30 million new americans, of course it's going to increase costs. it's the law of nature. they pretended with all the gimmicks and all these suspensions are parts of the bill that were going to raise revenue or control cost. the employer mandate was a way to get the fines or the insurance provided by the employer. that's out of the way. it's going to increase the cost. what people are getting next, we're going to have to raise taxes hugely as a way to cover it as is done in canada. >>steve: fuzzy math.

>>gretchen: when you hear canada and britain, you get nervous because they pay an extraordinary amount of taxes. they get health care free but what is the trade-off there? >> the house of horror hostages, this story of the three women found in that cleveland home recently, held captive for more than a decade. we saw the woman when they were finally found. amazingly they have put together this video to reach out to people to say thank you. thank you for sending us money and thank you for helping us get our lives back. >> i want everyone to know how happy i am to be home with my family and my friends. it's been unbelievable. i want to thank everyone who has helped me and my family through this entire ordeal. everyone who has been supportive, it has been a blessing to have outpouring of love and kindness. i'm getting stronger each day. having my privacy has

helped immensely. >> i would say thank you for support. >> i may have been through hell and back, but i am strong enough to walk through hell with a smile on my face and with my head held high. i will not let the situation define who i am. we need to take a leap of faith and know that god is in control. >>brian: they taped it in cleveland. they released it at midnight last night. the guy that took them, ariel castro, is facing a 329-count indictment. he's never seeing the light of day again. >>gretchen: he pled not guilty. >>steve: the hearing is going to be july 24. -l trial starts august 5. the lady did make that video to appeal for funds. it is clevelandcouragefund.org. >>brian: straight ahead, new video released. it shows the moment a car slams into a gas station. >> he sped up.

cardiomyopathy. what is it? >> cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart. the role of the heart is to pump the blood to the system. the left ventricle, the big chamber in the heart, when it fails, you can't really get any of the blood out there. that's a heart failure. that's what cardiomyopathy is. there are many different reasons for it. somebody can have a heart attack and a piece of muscle in the heart can fail. you can get cardiomyopathy that way. you can have a viral cardiomyopathy, a virus or a bacteria that can cause respiratory or other kind of issues can get into your system. most people are healthy enough that are able to bounce this back and the body defend itself and it won't turn into anything real. if your immune system is suppressed because of drug use or other alcohol use, et cetera, that viral can become active, can get into the joint in the knees, bones, heart and other parts of the body and cause that kind of cardiomyopathy. the pump, the heart doesn't get the blood out there and you can get short of breath, get fatigued,

things can back up into your lungs. fluid can fill up in the lungs and cause this kind of critical condition. >>gretchen: he's currently in critical condition in a dallas hospital. over the last years or so he has had some brushes with the law where alcohol has been involved, and he has been to rehab. i hate to say it. would there be a connection as you're saying? not a direct connection but maybe because alcohol does what to the body? >> certainly alcohol, what it does is suppresses your immune system. it affects your liver. a lot of times when you get a viral or bacteria in your system normally you can fight it out. your immune system can defend itself. when you're under influence of alcohol, that immune system, the soldiers are not acting well and the virus can get in. it can get into the heart and cause viral cardiomyopathy. it can cause inflammation. it can cause cardio

myelitis. >>gretchen: can he survive from this? >> yes, he can. he's a young guy. he's 54, so that's a great thing for him. he can fight it back. they treat him with medications. if that fails, they move with invasive treatment to the heart. there are devices he can wear. left veteran try cal assistive -- left ventrical assistive heart. the major thing is treating his heart making sure it pumps better. >>gretchen: thank you. after years of delays victims of fort hood will get their day in court. we're live in texas where the trial of the fort hood shooter begins today. do these kids look like criminals to you? their dad was trying to wash them off on the boardwalk when the cops were called. were called. that dad is here next.

you look at spring lake, new jersey's ordinances and it is illegal to have people naked? >> you can't disrobe on the beach, boardwalk, on the street, anywhere. >>steve: still, they are two and four years old. when our kids were little we hosed them off before we put them back into the car. >> it's a long drive back home. you get sand, the kids are uncomfortable. >>steve: what is the moral of this story? somebody with a little authority went a little overboard? >> i think there's that. we've decided we're not going to be naked at the beach as a general rule, and i guess we can all agree. so we're all right with that. the spirit of the law and the letter of the law are two different things. the spirit of the law was not broken here, i'd say. >>steve: i'd say you're right as well. >> should i keep these on or take them off? >>steve: your clothes? >> yeah. >>steve: we have an ordinance, you must keep at least pants on on the fox

that stood out yesterday was that of tracy martin, trayvon martin's father. initially he said in his initial questioning that he did not -- he wasn't sure whether or not trayvon martin was on that call but he quickly explained his thought process to jurors yesterday. take a listen. >> i didn't tell them that wasn't trayvon. i kind of pushed away from the, away from the table and just kind of shook my head and said i can't tell. >> and of course the defense says they may be able to call their last witness by the end today. i'm thinking sometime tomorrow. we'll keep you updated. back to you. >>gretchen: melissa, thanks very much for that update. >> on a whole bunch of fronts we've kept that promise. this is the most transparent administration in history. >>gretchen: the administration that

promised transparency now trying to cover up a big secret. the files on the osama bin laden raid being purged from defense department computers going to the c.i.a. where they can be more easily kept from ever going public. >>brian: joining us fox news's senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. judge, this surprise you? >> no. if you look at the president saying this is the most transparent administration in history, i don't think even he believes it. i think he's saying that for public consumption. he knows this is the opposite. this is the most secretive administration in history. the policy of the federal government -- this is enacted by the congress under the freedom of information act -- is that every american is entitled to know whatever the federal government does. the federal government is entitled to certain exceptions from that, one of which is national security and spying. if you take documents and send them over to the c.i.a., you automatically exclude them from access to the public. >>steve: what's extraordinary about this is now they have put it over

to the c.i.a., it's a secret. as soon as the raid was completed, you've got joe biden on television saying it was the navy seals. next thing you know, the administration is cooperating with hollywood. they're making a movie, writing books. >> that's what so offensive about what the administration is doing. they are keeping secret from the average american what they don't want us to know, for whatever reason. it didn't go the way they wanted. they were embarrassed. they did something they shouldn't have to answer for. but selectively leaking. this administration persuaded a federal judge about a year ago here in new york city that it is legal arguments -- its legal arguments were secret. the published opinions were so secret even though they were in public libraries, they couldn't tell the judge what they were. the judge accepted that. three weeks later these legal arguments showed up in an nbc news room leaked by the administration. the same administration that wants to prosecute

leakers will selectively leak in order to make itself look good. but to take documents, something as profound as the execution of osama bin laden, and remove them from the availability of the freedom of the information act, unprecedented, unheard of that they don't want the world or the american public to know. judge, thanks so much. >> pleasure. >> gretchen: coming up, hundreds survived the san francisco airplane crash. but what you know what to do if you were on board? how to survive a plane crash from someone ho tested it out. >> brian: then there is something missing from this beer commercial. sam adams taking out the reference to god. wait until you hear their explanation. you won't want to drink to it. hey! did you know that honey nut cheerios has oats that can help lower cholesterol? and it tastes good? sure does! wow. it's the honey, it makes it taste so...

well, would you look at the time... what's the rush? be happy. be healthy.

>> brian: the san francisco plane crash has many wondering, what would happen if a plane goes down with you on it? to answer that question, discovery tv crashed a plane into the ground. crash dummies aboard. how do you survive a plane crash? let's learn. dr. we are works at the center for trauma violence at usc and took part in the experiment. what did you take away after studying the results? >> one of the things that we learned is assuming that brace position is critical to prevent the types of injuries that were actually seen occurred in the san francisco tragedy. the forward kind of whipping of the body with the lap belt in

place creates the spinal fractures that we predicted with our discovery experiment. now we're kind of seeing that come true in what we're seeing with the san francisco injuries. >> brian: you also see that you guys adjusted or the industry has adjusted with some stronger seats. they've also looked at first class and saw the way it broke apart. they're trying to adjust from that as well. correct? >> correct. there has been a lot of improvements in aviation safety in terms of strengthening the seats, making the materials on the seats fire retardant. that was big, big thing that helped protect a lot of individuals in the current tragedy. i mean, when you're talking about a plane that is on fire, that fire can spread very quickly. i think the fire was pretty well contained because of the different changes that they've made inside the plane. >> brian: so that plane you crashed was a 727. this was a 777. it's bigger. as you watched these passengers close to 200 get off the plane and slide out of the plane what,

are your thoughts? >> well, i think what we're seeing is like i said, the changes in aviation safety to the point where flying is safer than ever. unfortunately, these incidents do occur, although when they have occurred, we're seeing less and less fatality, less and less serious injuries. it could have been a lot worse. the difference between the 727 that we crashed and the 777, we see those differences. there is definitely lot more structure to the plane in terms of what's been changed structurally, as well as the interior to help prevent injuries and save lives. >> brian: keep studying that so we can have more miraculous stories. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> brian: coming up straight ahead, the final two hours action the government now relying on the honor system to determine who is eligible for obamacare. does that sound ridiculous? well, it should. if not, sober up. then kim kardashian's mom is

>> gretchen: good morning, everybody. it's tuesday, july 9. hope you're gonna have a fantastic day. thanks for sharing part of it with us. i'm gretchen carlson. three women held captive inside that house of horrors have broke their silence now and they're showing their faces. listen. >> i'm getting stronger each day, thank you for support. >> i will not let the situation define who i am. >> gretchen: much more from them and why they decided to break their silence now. there is the guy accused of kidnapping them. >> brian: a cop was over osama bin laden before he was actually caught. they had him, they let him go. maybe he was thrown off by the cowboy hat uvl was wearing. this all true.

we can't make it up. at least we won't make it up. >> steve: meanwhile, there is something missing from this beer commercial. sam adams taking out a reference to god in the declaration of independence. wait until you hear the explanation why. "fox & friends" hour two starts right now. >> steve: we just saw -- was that a goat? >> gretchen: that was a goat. we showed you them in a tree in morocco. they're look for food. now they had the ability, through evolution maybe, to climb trees to look for berries. >> steve: brian, i looked at the e-mail machine, because it was question -- >> brian: i speculated. >> steve: is it hard for them to climb trees? >> brian: i said impossible. >> steve: i've got pictures on-line here of people who have sent in pictures of goats in their trees. >> brian: really? so they're saying that they mocked -- photo shopped? >> steve: no, no.

apparently the goats are trial very good climbers, according to the people who sent the picture. let me just open one up here. there we go. >> brian: that is a goat in a tree? it looks like a child's swing set that. is a low tree. >> steve: it's a tree! >> gretchen: goats will do anything to get food. >> brian: if you want an elephant to climb a tree, it wouldn't happen. they're too heavy and they have no traction. they have no fingers. goats are climbing without fingers. this is a huge story. >> gretchen: they have grooves in their hoofs. >> brian: if you could explain -- if you know a goat -- >> steve: look how easily they climb up and down. >> gretchen: they're very limber. >> steve: there you go. >> brian: goats are like cats and monkeys. >> gretchen: we never knew. >> steve: we have all the news here. now under the latest developments in the crash of asiana flight 214, for the first time we're hearing from the four pilots on board that plane. joining us with details from san

francisco international, adam housley. >> yes, this morning the investigation continues in san francisco. the ntsb gave quite a press conference yesterday and really passed along a ton of information, including confirming the fact that a plane came in too slow and too low, 40 miles an hour slower than it should have been going and potentially 100 feet lower. we know that from seeing the video. they are talking with the pilots that began yesterday. they will continue today. they were very careful yesterday not to criticize the pilots and say they don't want to taint the ongoing investigation and those interviews. so they're very hesitant to question them. we are getting new information. first of all, that the pilot trainer also was on his first day. that was his first basic time training a new pilot. because -- both had significant hours, just on a new plane. 777, the one that crashed here. the ceo of asiana airlines also on his way here as are officials from korea, as well as china, to meet with the flight and take

part in the investigation. quite a scene still out there on the runway. the runway directly adjacent to this fuselage is still shut down. planes are coming in and people are talking about seeing that wreckage as they land here. it will be here for some time as the ntsb does continue with that. as for first responders, we're getting amazing pictures in, some of the video we've shown you as first responders came, fire department, police officers and also those who were not first responders, but stewardess on the plane. take a look at some of the first responders saying how they had to cut some of the passengers out. >> the asiana crew was begging for knives so that they could free passengers to enable their escape. officer lee actually handed his knife to one of the pilots, his officer tossed his up there and they began to free passengers. >> some of those same police officers without fire protection, would board the plane and help fire department

officials who were already on there take some of these passengers who were stranded off. one more note, the ntsb says they'll be looking into the fact that two of the chutes, we talked about this yesterday -- two of those that are supposed open up outside opened up inside. they're going to look into that. not only are they investigating the crash, but how some of the safety features on this plane worked well or didn't work at all. >> brian: are you saying that the lap belts didn't open? they just got jammed? is that what they were cutting? >> yes. there is two things that happened. first of all, the safety chutes. you see them on the seat backs and the security things you read in the back of your seat. two of those opened up inside, and some of the passengers were actually stuck. they're not sure if it's because maybe they were wedged in they couldn't get their seatbelts off or if there was a malfunction, but they had to cut some of the lap belts off to get some of the passengers off. >> gretchen: wow. luckily they could escape before fire took over in that aircraft. >> absolutely.

>> gretchen: thanks so much. your other headlines for tuesday. breaking story. new details about how osama bin laden lived in pakistan for nine years without being caught. a scathing report just made public, says gross imcompetence by pakinstani officials is to blame. the report relying on 200 different sources. they found several agencies failed to investigate his compound ever. pakistan apparently closed the book on trying to find him in 2005 and believe it or not, a pakinstani police officer pulled over bin laden for speeding in 2002, but let him go. we also learned bin laden wore a cowboy hat outside. so drones overhead would not detect him. no word whether or not he actually liked country music. randy travis in critical condition this morning. a rare virus is attacking his heart. the virus has weakened his heart muscle. this causes the heart to beat slower, but dr. samati of our medical a team here at fox says travis can beat this. >> initially they're going to treat him with medication, yes,

he can. this is a young guy. he's 54. so that's a great thing for him. he can fight it back. they treat him with medication. if that fails, then they move up to a lot of invasetive treatments to the heart. there are devices he can wear, you know, left ventricular or heart transplant. >> gretchen: it's been a rough year. he was arrested last year when he was found drunk and naked after crashing his car. after years of delays, the trial of the accused fort hood shooter begins today. jury selection set for late this afternoon, likely to last several weeks. major nidal malik hasan has chosen to represent himself, which means he will be able to question his alleged victims and other witnesses. testimony is set to begin on august 6. beer maker samuel adams defending its decision to leave god out of its latest commercial. >> why name a beer after samuel

adams? because samuel adams signed the declaration of independence. he believed there was a better way to live, all men are created equal. they are endowed with certain unalienable rights. >> gretchen: the actor recites the declaration of independence, but leaves out this line. they are endowed by their creator. the company getting a lot of backlash. some calling for a boycott. the company says they were following code that says advertising should not include religion or religious themes. >> brian: we know jim cook. we should call him. every time he comes, he gives us a beer. >> steve: you got to follow what the beer institute tells you. >> brian: i bought summer ale. that's how i welcome in the summer and july 4th. >> gretchen: been a long summer apparently for you. welcome to summer, pal. >> brian: meanwhile, new overnight in the egypt situation, the muslim brotherhood not giving up its fight for power. conner powell live in cairo with the breaking details.

i guess 51 dead already because the muslim brotherhood has declared war on the military, i understand, conner. >> yesterday was a single deadliest day here in egypt since the start of the egyptian revolution 2 1/2 years ago. very different account of what actually led to yesterday's death. the military says they were attacked by, quote, terrorists. members of the muslim brotherhood say they were protesting peacefully outside the republican guard headquarters when the military just began opening fire on them. 51 people were killed. more than 400 were injured. meanwhile, there are efforts here to build some type of road map to transfer power from this military-backed government to a civilian-elected government. but already that's being criticized. the muslim brotherhood have essentially rejected this plan ha would call for elections in six months. but there are also bigger problems. the muslim brotherhood calling for an all-out revolution against the military here. so the political consensus

remains extremely divided and there is all the fear that this is going to get very violent in the next few days or so, brian. >> brian: it's going to be touch and go. i just don't know how things -- the simmering pot stops from boiling. thanks so much, conner powell. >> gretchen: let's tell but the house of horror the three women hostages taken in cleveland, ohio. remember amanda berry, she was the one able to get to phone about six weeks or so. michelle knight and gina dejesus. they have been silent and people have been observing their privacy now. but for whatever reason, they made this video, coming forward, specifically to say thank you to the people who have sent money to help them restart their lives. >> i want everyone to know how happy i am to be home with my family, my friends, and it's been unbelievable. i want to thank everyone who has helped me and my family through

this entire ordeal. everyone who has been here to support us, it's been a blessing to have such an outpouring of love and kindness. i'm getting stronger each day and i'm having my privacy helped immensely. >> i want to say thank you for support. i may have been through hell and back, but i am strong enough to walk through hell with a smile on my face and with my head held high. i will not let the situation define who i am. we need to take a leap of faith and know god is in control. >> steve: michelle knight, pictured last, she was held the longest, up to ten years. what the ladies did call for was the public to continue to observe their privacy. the fellow who is alleged to have kidnapped them and all sorts of other lousy things, that guy there, ariel castro, his trial starts august 5. the hearing will be on july 24. he is charged withholding the three women and indicted on 329

charges. he says he's not guilty. although i think i know of three witnesses in cleveland who have a story. >> brian: oh, no, he couldn't be more guilty. remember this video? the irs shelling out thousands of dollars of your cash for line dancing lessons? >> steve: yes. >> brian: this morning, there is a bigger problem and it involves social security numbers. perhaps yours. >> gretchen: the government now relying on the honor system to determine who is eligible for obamacare. will that work? one of the first to sue over obamacare, pam bondy, here live

>> gretchen: president obama's

health care law running towards trouble now day by day. first the administration decided to delay the employer mandate. remember that was last week, claiming businesses weren't prepared to provide their employees with mandatory coverage. now we're learning that some agencies will use the honor system to provide taxpayer-funded subsidies for people without insurance. pam bondy is florida's attorney general and she's my guest this morning. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> gretchen: so you say your job as attorney general, the number one thing on the top of the list is to try to stop fraud in your state. right? >> sure. that's what attorneys general do. we do everything in our power to try to prevent fraud, whether it be medicaid fraud, tax fraud, any type of fraud. and here now we have nothing to prevent fraud. anyone can come and say that they qualify for this and there is absolutely no verification. >> gretchen: so we learned last week that president obama wanted to delay small businesses having to follow his health care law until 2015 instead of 2014. then this came sort of in a

document dump on friday afternoon. the honor system, we've all been through high school and college, most of us, where you're supposed to abide by the honor system. but do you really think that this will work? >> of course not. for those of us who believe in limited federal government, that's what happens when you try to take over one sixth of the economy. and that's what we've always been so concerned about. they're changing the rules. they're change the rules of the game as we go along and that's what's happening. and as attorney general, it's my duty to protect against fraud, to protect our taxpayers. and now no one -- no one has to verify that they're entitled to this money. >> gretchen: you were against this from the beginning as far as your start becoming involved. explain to our viewers what you did not want to happen? >> florida, we were lead counsel, first of all, in the obamacare lawsuit and i felt very strongly that we should not

participate in the medicaid expansion and house of representatives agreed and said therefore, florida is not participating in the expansion of medicaid. i'm very proud of our state. >> gretchen: so where do you see this going now? if we have this delay, which by the way, do you think it's even legal? because we've been discussing that this morning. i'm interested in your opinion before i get to the next part of the question. >> i think it's fraught with error. yes, i think there will be issues. again, they keep changing the rules of the game as we go along. gretchen, just like you said, they do a document dump on a holiday weekend with 606 pages saying hey, this is what we're doing now. and you can't -- this is too important to the american people. this is one sixth of the our economy that we're talking about. >> gretchen: the next part of the question, abiding by this honor system, what kind of problems does that put for your job as you try and see whether or not your constituents actually followed the honor

system? >> it's going to be unbelievable. how do you go back and check the tremendous amount of people who are -- i'm not saying everybody is going to commit fraud. i would hope they wouldn't. i would hope they would be honest. but when you open something up that is so vulnerable. it invites fraud. and that's what frightens all of us. it's going to be difficult for the irs to verify. it's going to be difficult for state authorities to verify. and again, it's just one more example of what a mess this federal government takeover has become. >> gretchen: much more complicated than some people thought. pam bondi, the attorney general of the state of florida, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> gretchen: coming up, the pilots of flight 214 are now talking to investigators. what are they saying and how did all four not realize the plane was imminently going to crash? the head of the ntsb here next. talk about a woman scorned. she didn't just take the kids, she took the entire house, including the roof? that story coming up.

than the previous shelf life version. they will hit store shelves next week. brian will take the day off. alover to you. >> brian: investigators focusing on the pilots on board the flight 214 to try to determine what caused the deadly crash. we're joined now by ntsb chairperson, deborah hersman, who has the latest on the investigation and also maybe some details on the two pilots who were submitted for interviews. thank you for your time. what could you feel comfortable sharing with us about the two people you talked to already out of the four that were in the cockpit? >> what i can share with you is that we are halfway through the interview process, but we have not yet interviewed the flying pilot. we really want to wait until we release information until we have a chance to talk to him. we don't want to bias any of the interviews. >> brian: i understand they talked to the tower in english, that's the universal language when it comes to flight.

they talked to each other in korean. have you been able to understand in the black box what they were saying to each other? >> we have convened a work group to go through the cockpit voice recorder tape, which is actually two hours long. we have both english and korean speakers on that group. this is a normal process for foreign operations. we would expect them to communicate in english with air traffic control, but probably some of the dialogue in the cockpit would be in their native language. >> brian: has anything led you away from pilot error? >> really we're looking at everything now. all of the issues are still on the table. we're just about two full days into our investigation and so when we identify issues in an accident, it's usually not just one thing that causes a crash. so we need to make sure that we're considering everything and we connect the dots. >> brian: we understand the amazing number of those able to

get out, some of them had rashes on them and couldn't figure out where the rashes came from. have you surmised why some would walk out with these rashes? >> i haven't had that question yet. we'll certainly take a look into it. we know that this was a very dynamic crash environment. i know you all have seen some of the videos. we really are thankful that so many people survived and so many people were able to walk away without serious injuries. >> brian: i understand when it came to the one -- one of the young girls that lost their life in the crash, the reports are she lost it when she was hit by a fire truck or emergency vehicle. yet they don't want to release the autopsy results. iwhy would that be? >> i think people are still looking at all of these issues. the coroner has not yet released the cause of death. they are conducting the autopsy. we are in the process of interviewing emergency

responders, as well as passengers and reviewing video. so when we get that information from the coroner, it will help us put together a better picture of what happened. this is a very serious issue. we want to make sure we get it right. >> brian: lastly, real quick, do you sense at all a reluctance to speak with you? you spoke to two pilots. it's been a few days more. have they been lawyered up? >> we're not having any problems with respect to access to the crew. everything is going very well. we really had that first day where people were being treated for injuries, really recovering from the accident. our counterparts from korea came in and we began the interviews yesterday. so really that was the first opportunity that we had to begin that process. we conduct group interviews and they have been very cooperative. i don't expect that to change. >> brian: i watched you all weekend. you've been going out of your way to be as forthright as

possible with the press and with people like me. i truly appreciate the time and what you're telling the public. thanks so much. >> thank you. >> brian: coming up straight ahead, you got no shoes, you have no shirt. you got a big problem. clothing and footwear being made mandatory at the beach. really? why not parkas and snow suits? now more americans are on food stamps than are working in the private sector. stuart varney has the staggering statics -- statistics. he'll just stand there and look. with our "name your price" tool, people pick a price and we help them find a policy that works for them. huh? also... we've been working on something very special.

her. >> steve: meanwhile, it's a national disgrace. a man caught on camera burning a flag. this happening right after the fourth of july fireworks here in new york city. the owner of an irish pub had just put the flag up to celebrate the fact that he had just become an american citizen. the arsonist stupidly stopped to take a picture of his destruction. police hope this will help track that dope down. >> brian: it's supposed to clean your dishes, not make you sick. new research finds 60% of dishwashers have dangerous fungi growing in them. >> steve: are you kidding me. >> brian: high temperatures and moist environment is a perfect breeding ground. we did an experiment in fifth grade about this. if you breathe in spores that can cause lung infections, that's why we clean cleaned the encyclopedias. >> gretchen: home in turkey torn apart, but it wasn't a natural disas that are hit. it was a scorned wife who literally cleaned house. she took the carpets, curtains,

even the kitchen sink. then her brothers helped her destroy the kitchen and remove the roof and the windows, all while her husband was at work. sounds like a made for tv movie. >> steve: i wonder what he did to deserve that kind of -- taking the doors right out? >> brian: i think counseling would have been cheaper. i got to tell you what's happening with the new england patriots. tim tebow knocked off the front pages for this guy. we'll find out what evidence exists in the aaron hernandez murder case. the documents being released include search warrants explaining why and what place were looking for when they went into his home over and over again before taking him to the big house. patriots owner now speak out about the charges. he says, quote, if this stuff is true, then i've been duped and our whole organization has been duped. man, the distraction when camp starts will be tremendous in new england. disgraced cyclist lance armstrong still has a need for speed and to compete.

six months after admitting doping, he is getting ready to ride again. he'll take part in the des moines register's great ride later this month. he says he knows some people may not want him there. he was banned for life from professional cycling. and he flew his girlfriend above the rose bowl stadium in california in a helicopter where he spelled out below, jen, will you marry me? his girlfriend couldn't believe it and, of course, said yes. the bad part was her name wasn't jen. >> gretchen: what? >> brian: only kidding. i made that up. coming up on kilmeade and friends, we expand on what people do to get engaged. a simulcast with stuart varney, gretchen carlson, reverend jesse lee peterson and brad thor, who might be a super hero. >> gretchen: can i be part of

that simulcast with stuart varney? >> brian: no. it's all men. >> gretchen: oh, it's only men. >> brian: yeah. >> gretchen: then maria, you can't be part of it either. >> that's a bummer. let's take a look at the weather conditions across the country because we have some extreme weather to tell you about. it does include very hot temperatures while over ten degrees above average for this time of year. even though it's summer, it's supposed to be hot across parts of the plains, midwest and northeast. we're looking at temperatures that could actually be on the dangerous side in terms of heat, making it into the triple digits. 100 in kansas city. 101 in dallas. you factor in humidity, and it will be feeling hotter than that. you're talking a heat index value, between 105 to 110. that's what it will be feeling like. showers and storms across sections of the northeast expected today. this area shaded in yellow, this is where we're talking severe weather possible. damaging winds, large hail and isolated tornadoes will be a concern. then we head to the tropics where across parts of the

western atlantic, we have tropical storm chantal right now maximum sustained winds at 50 miles per hour. it is headed towards parts of haiti. we could be looking at impacts out there as we head into thursday morning, early morning or late wednesday. unfortunately. then eyes on the southeastern coast of the u.s. where the storm is headed as we head into this weekend and early next week. of course, we'll keep an eye on that. >> brian: indeed. >> steve: thank you very much. moving on, a new study found president obama has mentioned the word poverty less than any other u.s. president dating as far back as jfk. interesting, considering the poverty rate under president obama has climbed into the millions. >> gretchen: in fact, there are more americans collecting government food assistance now than working in the private sector. stuart varney is here to explain. that's bad news. >> it's incredible. the president really has transformed america from a dynamic prosperous growth

economy into a bureaucracy that redistributes wealth. here are the numbers. 101 million americans currently receive some kind of food aid from the federal government. 101 million. there are only 97 million americans who work full time. >> gretchen: wow. >> that's an extraordinary situation. you've got nearly 47 million on food stamps. that's one in six of the population. you've got 32 million getting school lunches, free or virtually no cost. 10 million get school breakfast free or virtually no cost. women, infants and children, wic program, 8 million there. the milk and summer food program goes to 2 million people. farmers market coupons are given away to nearly 2 million women and children. >> steve: the bad news is the fact that because now more people are not working than are working and are on assistance is the people who are work, their taxes are going to go up. >> yes. that's precisely right. it's income redistribution. and you can not reverse it.

well, you can -- >> steve: once you get something free, you don't want to give it up. >> how do you get away from a free program? once you start giving something away for free, how do you withdraw that and say, you don't need it any longer? >> brian: it worked for a while with welfare under bill clinton. >> that was in the mid 1990s when the economy was growing 4 or 5% a year and the unemployment rate was below 4%. you could do it then. now all of those people who received something from the government vote and are quite likely to vote for a continuation of the free stuff from the government. >> gretchen: i think what's so upsetting is that in the last couple of years, we've seen actual advertisements for people to get into these programs, which is sort of the -- i guess the opposite of the american dream. not that we don't want to help people who need it, but what about the message of pick yourself up from the boot straps and try to get out of these situations? >> i came to america almost 40 years ago. this is not the america that i came to.

it's a very different ethic. we look more and more like europe. >> brian: i'm so glad you're not bitter 'cause i fought your admission to this country. >> really? >> brian: you have just turned the page. i got to give you credit. >> i don't think you were even born when i came to america.

filming that because i knew that's the real deal. that's the set which emulates the foyer in my house. if you go to the kris jenner show facebook page, that's a live streamed 24/7 of them building the set in real time. >> brian: i have a foyer. you have a foya. >> steve: you say ralph lauren or ralph lauren? >> ralph lauren. >> tomato. this is a great game. >> gretchen: what makes your show different is that you're going to have guests co-host? >> every day there will be a different guest co-host. so people like ryan seacrest and kathie lee gifford and nene leaks. you never know when will pop by. it's going to be so much fun because it's a lot of friends and people i worked with in the past. you guys feel free stop by any time. >> steve: it does sound like a throwback to the old mike

douglas show where mike would do the show and he had guest help. >> i know. i grew up on mike douglas and merv griffin and watching those shows. what has always been my dream is to do a show that's a lifestyle show. so it's fashion and beauty and food and fitness and cooking and entertainment and all the things that i'm really interested in that nobody really knows about. and so you tune in to our show and you see a show about a whole bunch of family members. >> brian: will you reveal on your show your favorite daughter? >> probably. yeah, for that day. >> steve: will you reveal it on our show? >> i think khloe is my favorite today. >> steve: it varies, doesn't it? >> yeah. she did me a favor yesterday. >> gretchen: this is part of the show where you were with her out one night. you decided to tp another daughter's house. >> yeah, we got into a lot of trouble that night. we had so much fun. this is what's so great about having grown daughters is when i really get bored, what we do.

so they want -- there is nothing higher than north, nothing further up than north. you don't walk around going, hi, north west. you say north. you don't walk around going, hi, kris jenner. >> brian: so you're about to run a talk show, off spinoff and your whole life on television. did you predict this type of success when you had this vision of your show with ryan seacrest and you went public with it? >> no, i don't think i ever could have dreamed this big. and i can dream pretty big. i just -- we just wanted to work together as a family. i have the best job in the world because every day i get up and i work with my kids. so it doesn't get any better than that. >> steve: congratulations on being a grandmother. >> thank you so much. that's a real blessing. >> brian: any regrets about exposing your life to this level? >> no. no. i think we just get used to it. i think one of the things that works in our favor is on day one, we started with an entire production crew and even the camera guys and whoever is there

deducing what happened here and doing it in every way possible. while a lot of people are focusing on the fact this may have been human error, they want to make sure that they don't jump to conclusions. take a listen. >> really we're looking at everything now, all of the issues are still on the table. we're just about two full days into our investigation and so when we identify issues in an accident, it's usually not just one thing that causes a crash. so we need to make sure that we are considering everything and we connect the dots. >> and connecting the dots could mean one of the pilots in there, actually the training pilot, was on his first mission as a training pilot. we already know one of the other pilots in the cockpit was landing a 777 for the first time here at san francisco international airport. we are also getting great photos in from one of the passengers showing the response on the ground here in san francisco from first responders, three different fire stations did respond to the crash.

we also had police officers there and the flight attendants doing a great job getting the passengers off the plane. unfortunately, two people did lose their lives. the two 16-year-old chinese girls were getting pictures of them. their parents are now here. they've come here to see the investigation and to learn more about what happened that day. their classmates also have been visited. they're staying in san jose and they haven't decided whether they're going to continue on with their trip. they came here to see stanford and they were going to go down for a summer camp. there was word they were going to cancel that. but we learned that that group of school children haven't decided whether they're going to carry on with their summer camp plans in the memory of the two that were lost here in the plane crash. back to you. >> steve: tough call. adam housley live at san francisco international. thank you. >> gretchen: let's talk about obamacare now because could it be falling apart? remember last week the president and the administration made the announcement that they were going to allow small business, people with employees under 50,

50 of them, to not implement obamacare for yet another year, until 2015. friday there was somewhat of a document dump on a holiday weekend saying that people could just abide by the honor system if they wanted to get into these state and federal exchanges. 16 states were going to offer those. the honor system for that, in other words, before there was going to be some sort of regulation on that to basically prove whether or not you were qualified to be able to apply for these things. now they're going to abide by the honor system. could this be the beginning of the end for a law ha so many americans never really liked? >> brian: we know it's not going to balance out money wise. we know the revenue won't be pouring in for at least two years, although they're taking money out of our paychecks already. rick perry weighed in with greta last night. he said this was predictable. >> i think if there is a real achille's heel and there is many with this piece of legislation -- it's the exchanges. we did not choose to participate

in them. and one of the things i think you're seeing this administration understanding now is because of the cost and because of the expertise that the federal government does not have either of, that they're looking for ways to get around the law that's written. what do you really expect from a piece legislation that the vast majority of the members of congress didn't read before they voted on? this administration is just kind of making it up as they go. >> steve: and regarding making it up, did this administration know that these government subsidies were going to cost a lot more than what they told their counterparts across the aisle? in fact, orrin hatch has written a letter to kathleen sebelius and said, did you know that you have upped the amount of money you want from the federal government by 107% over three years? what's up with that? charles krauthammer was on last night and he said the administration has been low balling congress all along. >> brian: he said any nine-year-old you're going to

insure 30 million people for free, it's going to cost more money. >> steve: 12 minutes after the top of the hour. randy travis in critical condition. a rare virus is attacking his heart. a reporter is live outside the hospital in texas where he's been treated. >> good morning to you. he's been here since sunday night. we're being told that his condition has escalated to extreme support life measures right now. according to the singer's rep, he is suffering from a condition stemming from viral cardiomyopathy. it's a disease that weakens and enlarges your heart muscle and can lead to heart muscle and also the condition can be caused by many factors, including long-term high blood pressure, as well as alcohol use. we're saying that even though we don't know if any of that has impacted travis' condition. he has had tough times with alcohol as we all know. he pleaded guilty to driving

while intoxicated back in january following his arrest. he has been given a suspended sentence because of that. so right now, we're just standing by trying to see what's going to happen with him. if he survives this, we're told that he could possibly have to have a heart transplant. back to you. >> steve: oh, boy. all right. thank you. >> gretchen: coming up, student loan debt nearing the trillion dollar mark. one law maker has a solution. the government should pay for college education. he's here next. >> brian: then no naked kids, please. cops nearly arrest a dad who is rinsing his kids off at the beach. really? is that a crime in new jersey? where is governor christie when you need him? and more singing goats. >> steve: excellent! ♪ he ♪ [ upbeat ]

>> steve: did you realize that student loan debt in this country now surpasses credit card debt? graduates all across the country now owe a grand total of $1 trillion and that is rising. however, an oregon politician has a plan to change all that. he created a program called pay it forward, pay it back. in other words, the state of oregon will pay for college and then collect a cut of your salary after graduation. joining us to explain, oregon state senator mark haas. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> steve: how would this work? >> well, essentially we're looking at a way in which what you just described is you would go to the university and then after you leave with your diploma in hand over the next, say, 20 years, you would pay 3% of your adjusted gross income back to that university. >> steve: okay. so in the first years when you're not making much money,

that would be a great deal for the student who graduated from college. but then once you're making a lot of money, that seems to be a really good deal for the school, doesn't it? >> well, i think if you look at this from a broader perspective, getting more kids into our universities, period, is a great deal for our country. i don't think it's a stretch to say this is a national security issue that if we don't remain an economic super power, then we're really in peril. and when i see all these other countries passing up the united states in very important categories, i think we've got to look outside the box and this is just one idea. it may not be the best idea, but it's one idea out there that we should attack this with. we're looking at other things, trying to get high schoolers in a place where they can s earning more college credits to get a head start. so it's a much more serious situation. i think a lot of people understand because of the fact that you laid out at the beginning here, that now surpass

credit card debt with student debt. and so this idea is just one idea. like i said, it might not be the best idea, but at least it's an idea. we're thinking about it and trying to put a pilot project together at one of the universities next year. we could conclude like well, this won't work or we might conclude that hey, we should have started this 30 years ago. >> steve: right. >> i think it's important that this country start looking at ways to do this. the u.s. senator last week went the rang way last week and -- wrong way on student loans. >> steve: i tell you what, the president and u.s. congress can't figure a way to dig us out of this hole. it's good to know that up in oregon, you are working on it. mark hass, state senator there, thank you very much for joining us live. >> a pleasure. >> steve: what do you think about that? e-mail us. coming up, the trial of the accused fort hood shooter will get underway in just a couple of hours and you can expect it will

be a complete circus. we'll tell you why. and justin bieber's mom is here. what does she think about all the controversy surrounding her son? there she is on the curvy couch. patty, come on in. you're next. ♪

>> brian: after years of delay, the trial of the accuse fort hood shooter starts today. so what can we expect? let's go live right now to the fort hood base where reporter dan godwin will preview. dan, what could we expect today? procedural things or do we get

into the meat of this trial? >> well, there is going to be some procedural things in the morning, brian, and then yes, panel selection will begin, supposed to begin in the afternoon. the trial of major nidal malik hasan going to be filled with gripping emotional testimony from survivors of the shooting and as you can well imagine, the entire fort hood community for this trial to get underway after nearly a four-year wait. today in the morning, the judge scheduled to announce some rulings in a number of issues that came up in previous hearings. nothing too major or congressional, at least we are told. then starting at 2:30, they begin the process of panel selection. that's the military equivalent of a jury. we are told the panel will consist of at least 12 officers, all of a higher rank than major hasan. hasan for now is going to be serving as his own attorney.

that means at some point he may well be cross-examining many of the people he is accused of trying to murder. witness testimony in the case scheduled to get underway tuesday, august 6. again, panel selection today. >> brian: we know he's in a wheelchair. whatever happened with the shave your beard, not shave your beard that delayed this trial for months? >> yeah. that was one of the major delays in getting this trial underway. about a year ago, the legal wrangling started over that. bottom line, he will have a beard when the trial begins. the judge who is currently presiding on the case hasn't made a major issue about it. so hasan very thin, confine to do a wheelchair after being shot in the 2009 attack and he will have the beard. >> brian: all right. thanks a lot. we'll be tracking this story

because america wants to get to the bottom of this and hopefully those families get some justice. thank you very much. 25 minutes after the hour. do these kids look like criminals to you? their dad was trying to wash the sand off them at the beach. specifically we'll see -- when the cops were called for nudity view -- violations. that's straight ahead. and justin bieber's mom is here. what does she think about the controversy surrounding her very talented son? she wrote a book all about it. she's on her way to the studio. how do i know? i see her so then the little tiny chipmunks go all the way up...

maybe they didn't tell his wife. >> brian: even had the outfit. >> steve: certainly he's on the cover of all the new york tabloids today. the secret is out. it's now 29 minutes before the top of the hour on this tuesday. we got some headlines for you. a wife accused of trying to hire a hit man to kill her husband. the reason why is something you probably never heard before. >> when i first decided to do this, it's not that we weren't getting along, but i was just -- it was easier than divorcing him. i didn't have to worry about the judgment of my family. i didn't have to worry about break his heart. >> steve: yeah, she wouldn't have to worry about breaking his heart. police in michigan busted julia mirrorfield after she told an undercover cop she would pay him $50,000 for the job to off her husband. a co-worker who knew about the plan alerted authorities. the 21-year-old had her eye on her husband's $400,000 life insurance policy when she hatched the plan.

>> gretchen: caught on camera, innocent bystander becomes a human fire ball when an out of control car crashes into a gas station, sparking a massive explosion. watch this. >> man. he just sped up. he's on fire. >> gretchen: the man dropped to the ground, rolled around to put out the flames. he's in stable condition. the driver told police he blacked out behind the wheel, that's why he just came at that gas pump like a bat out of hell. lance armstrong still has a need for speed. six months after admitting to doping, he's getting ready to ride again. he'll take part in the des moines register's annual great bicycle ride across iowa later this month. he says he knows some people may not want him there. he was banned for life from professionally doing cycling. this is not one of those types of events. >> steve: meanwhile, a family day at the beach almost ended up with two new jersey toddlers under arrest. their parents took off their

bathing suits to rinse off the sand at the boardwalk shower in spring lake, new jersey, causing the beach supervisor to call the cops. the outraged father joined us earlier here on "fox & friends". >> like he was the town's beach supervisor. i didn't know that the guy was an official of any sort. started ranting and raving at me, you can't do that. you can't do that. spring lake is not this kind of place. >> steve: right. >> i kind of look at the guy kind of ignore him and continue doing what we're doing. the next thing i hear, i hear the guy on the phone saying that he has two naked people on the boardwalk. the cop sees us and stops and he looks at my wife and he was perplexed. you could tell. he said to my wife, and he was a little uncomfortable, but he said, you were the naked person? and my wife goes no, they were. pointing to my two and four-year-old. >> steve: well, spring lake, new jersey city code says no person shall dress or undress on the beach front and that's why the supervisor called the cops.

cops showed up and said, are you kidding me? they're kids. >> gretchen: crazy story. let's head outside to brian. i'm really jealous, brian, because you're cooking up some spam. >> brian: absolutely. if they're good, i have a can for you, gretchen. it's summer. instead of spending your evenings prepping meals in the kitchen or getting the meat marinaded, why not speed things up with spam? >> joining us is spam brand senior manager, nicole bainy. hi, thank you for joining us. >> thank you so much for having me. i'm excited to be here to share some great award-winning recipes from our great american spam championship. >> these are award winning because of the championship which you're in your 22nd year. how can people enter? >> go to spam.com and find a list where they can enter. the recipes have to be ten ingredients or less and include one of our ten varieties of spam. >> brian: let's go with one. we're going to go to the spam thai style meat ball.

>> we are. these are our award winning recipe. they were made by carolyn in new mexico. what she did was took rice, curry, coconut and spam and mixed it together for her meat balls. once formed, you put it in a coconut flake and bread crumb mixture and pop them in the oven for just ten minute examines they come out tasting delicious. but they also have a nice crispy coating on the outside. i like to dip them in this sauce. >> this year's theme is sandwiches and you have one with us. >> i do. i'm going to share with you a sandwich had recipe from hawaii. this is a popular in hawaii. it is found everywhere, from the dining room table to school lunches. >> brian: sushi without the fish smell? >> it is! absolutely. all you do is take fried spam and you put it on top of a bed of rice. i like to fry the spam in a teriyaki sauce and then wrap it in seaweed.

>> brian: we also have spam breakfast must have beens. spam on top and spam in the middle? >> absolutely. the batter is made with egg, cheese and spam and sprinkled with cinnamon which everyone loves. and then you pop them in the oven for 15 minutes and they're ready to go. >> brian: good news for the crowd. spam for everybody! yea! spam not just for breakfast anymore. >> this is sir can a lot. he was created to help everyone rid the world of boring world. >> brian: nice to meet you. >> thanks for having me. >> brian: you have the weather to do. >> we are going to be looking at extreme heat, especially across parts of the central plains. it really is feeling like summer out there with temperatures more than ten degrees above what's average for this time of year. take a look at kansas city and dallas. triple digit heat expected today. 86 in new york city. not too bad for us here in the northeast. we will be looking at a chance for showers and storms in thet,t

>> the teen book is fairly different. it's still sharing my story. i imagine myself talking to a teen-ager when i wrote it. and so many of the struggles that i went through were in my teen years. a lot of the depression and the anxiety and the drug and alcohol abuse, you know, attempted suicide, the teen pregnancy. and i feel like there is so many teen-agers that can really relate to that. and so in this edition, i have some popout resources and statistics and discussion questions and just things that will really encourage them to reflect and think about the issues. >> brian: we had a chance to talk to simon cowell about -- 'cause he's here with the "x factor" and what would happen if an artist he was handling it your son's type of success. listen. >> justin bieber, for example, does that worry you? one of the top stars in the world, 19 years old.

is it almost -- do you understand what he's going through? >> i think there comes a point, brian, and i think about this the other day, if i ever thought one of our artists was being overworked or overpromoted, he'd just have to say, you made enough money, take a year off. you have to be sensible about it. >> brian: you think he's being overworked because he has so much success? >> i don't think so. he loves what he does. he loves performing. he's been on tour for about a year now. he's enjoying it. i think that if he wasn't on tour, you know, i don't know what else he would be spending his time doing. >> gretchen: it's a tough situation as a mom for you to watch. there are so many wonderful things that have come from his career, but he's only 19. when you see some of these problems that he's gotten into recently, it must be just really hard as a mom because i imagine you don't have control over what he does, right? >> i think it's the thing with any parent of an adult child.

once they turn 18, 19, and they move away from home and they start making their own decisions, the parenting style changes and you hope to still be a voice in their ear and you got to love them and encourage them and he knows what i think. he knows the things that i agree with. he knows the things that i disagree with. but he also knows the many things that i'm really proud of him for. he does a lot of great things that don't show up in -- >> brian: nothing came easy for him. another thing is people can learn from you is resilience because you bounced back. it's a remarkable story and the more people you tell that you're not perfect, that's a great message. >> thank you. that's the message that i want to get out. in writing this teen book, i just want to say hey, people shared their stories with me when i was growing up and it really helped me. i didn't want to listen to my parents. i didn't always listen to my parents. but other people could say, i've been where you are. and this is what i've been through and this is what i made

it through and look where i am now. so i suffered with all the stuff and these teen-agers can relate. >> steve: nobody could have been lower and hence, the title of your book "nowhere but up." patty, thank you very much for joining us live. >> thank you. >> steve: tell justin to stop by some day. >> okay. >> brian: he was here once with selena. >> gretchen: what we just learned about the george zimmerman trial, what could damage the prosecution. peter johnson, jr. here to break it down. >> steve: and no shoes, no shirt, big problem. clothing footwear now mandatory, where else, but at the beach. ♪

wear at the time of trial. one person is a federal air marshal. they worked in a political campaign with him. they heard him scream in the past. they said that's george zimmerman. so that's hugely important testimony and now we have this contradictory testimony in terms of trayvon martin's father as to whether he heard it, whether he didn't hear it. >> brian: what about the decision to come forward with the fact that he testified an element of marijuana in his system. >> that's very, very important. because it was indicated by mr. zimmerman that one of the reasons he was stopping and looking at trayvon martin was that he believed that he was on drugs. now we'll have evidence that corroborates his suspicion. if there was any doubt in terms of him stopping or inquiring or looking at that moment, the fact that mr. martin was on drugs at the time of his death is very important. we'll also hear some expert testimony that will say it's not what you think in terms of thc,
