3:06 am
time prince charles found out he was a grandpa. oh boy, on that one. this is our vote for sort of the most interesting take on what happened this morning. the sun changing its name to "the son." "her royal highness safely delivered a son." it is not often in one's life you get to witness the birth of a king, so they changed the name. they never did it before and suspect they will never do it again. it is a tribute, they say, to william, his wife kate and their newborn son. we expect we'll see them out here. not sewer when that will happen -- we're not sure when that will happen. you can hear choppers above. throughout the course of the day there will be a number of big events to herald the birth of the new king. westminster abbey will start pealing the bells at
3:07 am
2:00 this afternoon for a consecutive three hours in celebration. you will have a party in green park, one of the royal parks. and a salute gets underway at 2:00 p.m. official celebrations of the birth of the future king. the name? we're not sure yet. the odds makers have been handing out the latest numbers. george still seems to be in the top spot. richard is getting a little bit of attention. haven't heard a steve or a brian on the list as of yet, you guys. >>gretchen: brian said it might be clubber. >>brian: eight pounds, six ounces, no little kid. martha, how long until we can send you home? when are you going to be
3:08 am
free? >> if all goes well, we should be out of here this evening and back tomorrow. >>steve: very good. job well done. you were working all night. thank you very much. meanwhile, here's the cover of the new york post today. a lot of people might think that's the actual baby. no, it's not the actual baby. crown jewels. kate delivers a baby king. apparently in great britain they are referring to the baby as baby cambridge. >>brian: we don't know who is going to break the news when it becomes an american citizen which could happen if obamacare delivers to them. in 71 days we're going to have obamacare. it's going to be here. a lot of people still can't figure it out. if you want to make sense of it, if you want to convey it to the american people you've got to get jennifer hudson and cal penn involved. you've got to get
3:09 am
celebrities and oprah winfrey involved to explain to the younger generation they have to sign up. >>gretchen: it is up to the younger generation to make this thing work quite frankly. we found out they weren't going to have businesses kick in for at least another year where they were required to provide this. but the individual mandate is still in effect. why is this important to young people? between the ages of 18 and 35 they need their dough. they need them to get into these programs and markup places and exchanges. it is critical for them to participate in these because they don't just want sick people to participate. why? because then the premiums will go up. they need young, healthy people. and that's why they're appealing to them through celebrities. >>steve: they need close to three million because they figure seven million will be buying private insurance. they need three million young people to drive the
3:10 am
cost down. otherwise costs are going to go sky-high. last night on greta, she had a guy in the pizza business who is in the business to make money but under obamacare is actually going to lose money. >> when i calculated personally on how it would affect me, i had full time employees at the time and the penalty was calculated at $2,300 for a full-time equivalent employee. that came out to almost $221,000. my three restaurants were top performing restaurants in the franchise and would have cost me $78,000 more than what i get out of the my restaurant. it is a shame when the government causes you to close your business rather than grow your business.
3:11 am
>>brian: president obama will make another sphaoefp to try to revive a stalled agenda. >> it is going to be a kickoff of what is going to be several months of us trying to get washington and the press to refocus on the economy. it will be a pretty good speech. but -- but -- as we learned, i've given some pretty good speeches before, and then things still get stuck here in washington. >>steve: darned republicans. >>gretchen: what will the president say that's actually new? stu varney is here to weigh in. yesterday we heard the buzzwords again: fair share. things like that. i was sort of stumped as to what is going to be new in this speech. can you tell us? >> there will be no essential shift in policy. no reversal. it's going to be a call pore more spending, more spending on education, help for manufacturing and maybe
3:12 am
infrastructure as well. essentially spend more. more fairness in the economy. it's a big push, and here it comes. you can see it coming right at you. >>brian: it's anti-reagan. no more will they be talking about trickle down. he will mock it. rising tides do not necessarily lift all boats. he's going to be talking about building from the middle out. >> wait a second, everybody is losing ground especially the president's core supporters. wages for low-income people are down 4% during president obama's first term and into his second term. for the lowest of low-skilled people they're down 5%. it's not a question of not lifting everybody's boat. the president's policies have sunk everybody's boat and we're going down. >>steve: the worry is the president's policies have sunk democrats in the mid term elections so he's starting to bang the drum. >> this is going to be a campaign-style big push. it already starred. over the weekend youtube video released by the president touting the
3:13 am
recovery. monday big closed door meeting with organizing for action. nancy pelosi, senator reid, all of them there, closed doors, rah-rah session. let's get back to the economy. let's push that in the face of the benghazi, i.r.s. scandal. >>gretchen: in the face of that is detroit. how are you going to give an economic speech and not talk about the failure of this massive city and quite frankly, many would argue, many of the policies that he agrees with. >>brian: chicago could be next. >> it's possible the president will talk about we need to help these people. it's not their fault. we need to help. there's a lot of talk about quietly helping detroit out of its mess and other cities too. it's not set in concrete, but that would be a form of help. >>steve: we'll be watching the president tomorrow. >> so will i. >>steve: we'll be watching you 9:20 today on fox business. >>brian: we told you about the plane crash,
3:14 am
landing gear collapses without warning. two passengers here next with how they made it out alive. >>gretchen: this little girl got caught doing this to her little brother. >> you are in huge trouble, by the way. like super big huge like super big huge trouble. she's still the one for you - you know it even after all these years. but your erectile dysfunction - you know,that could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph, like needingo go frequently or urgently.

>>steve: a fox news alert. a plane still sitting on the runway at la guardia where it crash-landed last night. it lost its landing gear without warning. joining us are two passengers who were on board that flight. kathy bolls and karen buckner both from nashville. welcome to new york. kathy, tell us what happened. you're coming in for a typical landing at la guardia and what happens? >> and it just -- it was just automatic as soon as we touched down. it was not any natural landing at all. it was an extremely hard impact. you knew something wasn't right, and then you could hear the skidding of the brakes and really trying to
3:18 am
slow us down. but something was not right. >>steve: something was not right. karen, while that was happening, what were you thinking? >> well, it felt similar. i heard another passenger say it was like a traffic -- like if you were having a car accident, just crash. your first instinct was to, i guess, for safety, what's going on. i think we must have watched these situations that you knew you wanted to get off that plane as fast as possible. >>steve: there was no warning, right? you had your phone ready to turn on, ready to unbuckle and get out and then boom! apparently the cabin started to fill with smoke? >> that was the most frightening part. i think the doors remains sealed and all the passengers first, was get off. we really couldn't because there was no way to get off. i think they were securing -- making sure the plane was safe for us to get off before we -- they actually opened up the doors and let us out.
3:19 am
ultimately it was several minutes we were in there. it was getting more and more smokey. >>steve: then everyone evacuated off the plane and a bunch of people were injured on those chutes. invariably people don't go down the chutes probably. >> i think some people might have been injured on the impact it was so forceful. >>steve: were things flying around the cabin? >> no. it was more of where everyone was sitting still quiet and then all of a sudden they were pushed forward very, very strong. >>steve: as soon as you kind of nose dived and there was screeching, there was metal on concrete for quite a distance. what did the flight attendants and the captain say on the p.a. to you? >> i think that was -- not much. it was very quiet. i think they were trying to assess the situation. it was as calm, i think, as it could be for such an unusual circumstance. but there was very little -- there was not a lot of information. >>steve: it has to be frightening.
3:20 am
it wasn't that long ago where that asiana plane in san francisco, similar approach to la guardia, you're landing over water -- you were probably holding your breath coming into town; right sph >> some prayers. >>steve: all your stuff is still on the airplane? >> we're in the same stuff we were in yesterday. we might be in it tomorrow. >>steve: you look lovely. i'm sure you're happy to be in one piece. kathy boles and karen buckner. thank you. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. from crashed planes to burning cars, check out this dramatic rescue. two sherrifs deputies drag a man from death. then a new medical breakthrough to get rid of all your stress and anxiety. is that possible? our medical a team dr. samadi is here shortly and will spill the beans. ♪ ♪ ♪ what makes your family smile?

it looks like a spinoff series for a second. a new medical breakthrough may be a cure for stress, anxiety and depression. researchers identified the misery molecule in the brain and are hoping to design a drug to fix these common depressive disorders. >>steve: fox news medical a team dr. samadi joins us to explain. this is great news because there are millions of people who suffer from depression and anxiety and this perhaps will lead to the formulation of a drug to help them. >> this study is coming from the u.k. it is very important because for years we know a connection between part of the brain. on the hormonal level we get it because that is the physiology behind it. we studied it for years and understand it well. what this study showing is using specialized imaging they are able to find receptors called crf-1.
3:26 am
you've heard of cortisol. when you're under a lot of stress, you don't shraoel shraoel -- sleep well, your cortisol level can go up. the crf1 could be the key to break-down and solve issues with stress and depression. >>gretchen: does everyone put off this kind of hormone or only people who have this tendency for depression or anxiety? >> everyone has it. your schedule, you get up at 3 a.m. to be here at 5 a.m., lots of cortisol but you're not dressed because you have a balanced physiology and not under a lot of stress because you take days off. for other people when they can genetically have depression, their hormones are off. how do we treat them? give them medication that takes care of these hormonal issues. we know where the pressure is in the pituitary gland
3:27 am
and there is a very specific way to go after these receptors. >>brian: with lasers? >> no. with medication. instead of giving you a medication that can affect your whole body, you will have side effects. it can affect the liver and other things. now we can go specifically after the receptor. targeted therapy it is called so this way you won't have the side effects of medication. why is it important? not only will you not have side effects, the effects will be better. taking medication for depression, you have to take it a couple of months to see is it working or not. this will make it much more effective. the potential for this is that for the future, for example, for diabetes, we give you an injection. it has to go through all the cycles in your body. if they can find the same receptor, we can take care of diabetes. i think it is a great stepping forward to a lot of other diseases. certainly we have a long way to go but it's a very
3:28 am
exciting news coming out of the u.k. >>steve: let's hope somebody is in the lab working on the drug right now. thank you. >>brian: special thanks to the u.k. again helping us with the baby king and now this study and no one is depressed because we have a baby king. >>gretchen: the baseball drug scandal taking ryan braun out of the game. now there is word on who can be next coming up. >>steve: busted. what this little girl got caught doing to her little brother. >> really big trouble. first happy birthday to the guitarist slash originally from guns and roses. he's 48 today.

okay. >> you say you knocked jesse ventura to the floor with a punch. you don't mention his name but everybody knows who that is. number one, did that happen? you knock him out? >> knocked him down. it was the year we lost our seals in iraq. we came home, we lost our last guy just before coming home. we had the wake in coronado and he was there. >> he was bad mouthing the war. >> bad mouthing the war, bad mouthing bush, bad mouthing america. i asked him to tone it down. we didn't want to offend the families. y'all deserve to lose a few guys. >> navy seals. once he said you deserve to lose a few guys, you popped him? >> yes, sir. >>brian: that story led former minnesota governor jesse ventura to file a defamation lawsuit against
3:48 am
america's deadliest sniper. even though kyle was murdered this year, a judge says the lawsuit can continue against his estate. joining us is fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. i talked to his wife. she knows no details about the case so it is the governor's word against chris kyle. >> as the administrator of his estate, she could lose assets. the estate could lose value. this book is a run-away bestseller. she is experiencing and enjoying that well because her husband regrettably is dead, the author of the book and the person being interviewed by bill. what he said to bill and what he recounted in the book forms the basis for governor ventura's lawsuit. until about 30 years ago you couldn't sue a dead person for libel. the theory was the person you say harmed your reputation is dead, you're now free to say what you
3:49 am
want to rehabilitate that reputation but the law changed. >>brian: if you are mrs. kyle, you have to assemble those witnesses that were there with chris and start building a case, a case in which you were not a witness? >> yes. the reason you have to do that is for governor ventura to win, he has to prove the statement was false, that chris never cold cocked him and knocked him down. after he proves it was false, he has to prove chris knew it was false when he published it either by saying it to bill o'reilly or by putting it in the book or was reckless in his attitude as to whether it was true or false. this is the law of the land when you're a public figure as governor ventura is. >>brian: what about the character of this clown -- governor -- who wants to move forward with this lawsuit against an american hero? >> the court does not concern itself with character. the fact that chris kyle was a hero and governor
3:50 am
ventura is a character -- >>brian: the fact that ventura wants to do it, what does it say about him? >> anybody can form their judgment about governor ventura. this is a relatively minor blip in his life and career but he's making a lawsuit out of it. these are very rare, lawsuits against people that are dead, for the reasons you articulated. >>brian: i hope mrs. kyle it's known as one of the world's scariest bridges and one woman survived a fall after being rear-ended by a tractor-trailer. she will join us live with the incredible story of survival. and it's the new cyber scam hitting travelers. why that hotel wi-fi may not be what it seems and how scammers are using it to hack into your personal information, chris chulo. now we know everything about you on the crane camera [ male announcer ] centrum has been a leader in multivitamins

>> gretchen: a new scam to be on the alert for. cyber thieves targeting travelers using hotel wi-fi to steal guest sensitive information. how can you protect yourself and your data? joining me is the founder of credit.com, an identity theft 911. for people who traveled a lot, this is a concern because you go to the hotel and think i'm going to use their password, i'm completely safe. they're not? >> not necessarily. the thing is, you're there at a hotel to see the sites and you've become the site fort identity thieves that are lurking around the hotel.
3:55 am
so just don't assume that everything is as it appears to be. the first thing is make sure that you know the actual name of whatever network the hotel is suggesting. make sure that there is a password connected with it and that still may not give you the kind protection that may make you feel comfortable. it's better making a deal with one of the private providers like at and t or verizon where you create your own hot spot, where you can create your own private network. it's more of a secure worm hole that you're august than opening yourself up to anyone else. >> gretchen: because i can assume that if people see hotel when they go to wi-fi and click on it, it may be the scammer who has set that up. you say budget an extra 10 to $20 adiaphora wi-fi. >> there are wi-fi systems at hotels that are enhanced and the more enhanced, the more secure they are. so if you have an opportunity to operate on a much more secure system, as long as you check it out and feel comfortable that it
3:56 am
is, it's better. it's one of the best investments you can make. >> gretchen: let's say you're not going to the hotel to use the wi-fi -- this is the most important tip. and that is keep it turned off, right? >> it's very important to keep it turned off because what happens is your system is geared to be looking for either a network that sounds familiar or a network that is wrong. and oftentimes hackers create networks that sound like whatever the system should be working or send out a strong signal. it attracts your system to it and they're the man in the middle. you go through them, they get your user name and password. you think you're operating with the hotel and now you're giving your life away. and. >> gretchen: and change your password every 60 days. and move over, nsa. here comes obama administration obama administration of the the

4:08 am
carterham, who headed up africom, he was in washington, d.c. that day, september 11, 2012. they knew right off it was not because of that video. it was terrorism. >> brian: but he did go on to say it was perfectly understandable to me why people would say we should have done something, but in my military judgment, there was not a necessity. >> steve: he slaves not enough time to -- he said there was not enough time to scramble the jets. >> gretchen: there is a lot of unanswered questions. and louis gohmert from texas met with am so of the survivors from benghazi and he has these thoughts. >> we need to know what happened and why in the world this administration thought it was a good idea to basically figuratively slap the face of the new president of libya when he knew it was not the result of
4:09 am
a video. just so many holes in this thing. we need to get to the bottom of it and if we don't, i can tell you that there will be future americans die serving our country in an embassy or a consulate why simply because we didn't do our job and get to the bottom of this. >> steve: it's hard to get to the bottom of it when apparently the survivors were asked to sign nondisclosure agreements. congressman frank wolf, republican from virginia, said that some of these survivors were asked to sign them as recently as this summer. he's written a letter to secretary of defense hagel saying, among other things, how long will the families of those killed have to wait before this administration takes any action to bring these terrorists to justice? >> brian: we're going to get some answers. colonel george bristol, marine commander of north africa during the benghazi attacks, and senator graham has been asking, can we hear from him?
4:10 am
he was right there. i need to hear from him. they said they were confused for a while with the administration, but now they understand and he will be allowed to talk to members of congress sometime this week. >> gretchen: it's also that the united states has identified five suspects. we've basically made no arrests as to who killed those four americans and coming up on almost a year ago now, you would think that those families would certainly want some answers or at least some arrests to happen. if we have identified these people, why are we not doing something? >> brian: one of the would be attackers was at a buffet on sunday at a major hotel two days after the attacks. >> steve: crazy. and so that's why it's so important to hear from the survivors who are being told that if you talk, you will -- in public, that is, you'll never work for the government again. a lot of them have families. they need the jobs. plus they're being told we'll sue you because you have signed agreements and you said going in you wouldn't spill the beans.
4:11 am
if you spill the beans, you're in trouble. coming up, obamacare will give the government instant access to your financial and medical information. our next guest says watch out because you're not going to believe what it could be used for. >> brian: then kate upton is everyone's perfect girl, right? wrong. survey says she's not really what men want. we'll tell you who is this day calls you. to fight chronic osteoarthritis pain. to fight chronic low back pain. to take action. to take the next step. today, y will know you did something for your pain. cymbalta can help. cymbalta is a pain reliever fda-approved to manage chronic musculoskeletal pain. one non-narcotic pill a day, every day,

4:15 am
>> absolutely. late word from the port authority, which operates la guardia, the second runway has been reopened as of 6:59. so we're talking about developments in just the last ten minutes. that plane is on its way to a hangar here at la guardia where it will be subjected to some further inspection. let's get you caught up on exactly what happened. this was southwest flight 345 from nashville to la guardia. that landing did not go as finland. according to the port authority, thereof no indication before landing that anything went wrong. the crew didn't realize anything was wrong apparently. so passengers on board had no indication that anything was wrong. because that nose gear failed upon landing, the plane actually skidded and came to rest in a grassy area about halfway down runway 4 here at la guardia. just a few minutes ago on "fox & friends," we spoke to two women who were on board that flight.
4:16 am
>> it was just extremely hard impact and you knew something wasn't right and then you could hear the skidding of the brakes. >> it felt similar. i heard another passenger say it was like a traffic -- like if you were having a car accidents, just crash. >> another passenger on board used the word lucky twice to describe everyone on board. fortunately, there were ten injuries, however, none of the injuries was serious. that is the latest. live from la guardia airport this morning, back to you. >> brian: thank you very much. we will continue to track that story. steve? >> steve: thank you, brian. if you thought the nsa's data grab was intrusive, wait until the big brother obamacare database goes into full effect. government officials will have full abscess to pretty much everything about you, from finances to your health. they say don't worry. trust them. should you trust them? let's talk to john fonda, columnist with national review. do you trust them? >> i think we need to maybe
4:17 am
trust, but certainly verify. >> steve: absolutely. tell us about the data hub. >> it's a brand-new federal program that's going to take records from everybody, social security, irs, veterans affairs, records on your viewers and it's going to put them in one place and certain people will have access to it, including the, quote, navigators, unquote, who are going to help people enroll in obamacare starting in october 1. >> steve: isn't this what kathleen sebelius was trying to shake down, to try to get more money to fund them? >> there is something called enroll america, a nonprofit group to supplement the federal money that was available for this because everybody needs education in enrolling in obamacare because if enough wrung people don't show up, obamacare is basically going to collapse. so they have to get young people into the system. >> steve: that's one of the reasons the white house hosted a meeting yesterday with a bunch of celebrities and their representatives trying to sell it to the young people.
4:18 am
you've got these navigators and they're going to be out, they're going to be pitching, okay, sign up for obamacare. and also maybe you should vote? >> in california, the secretary of state announced at every step of the process, these navigators will also be urging people or helping people register to vote. look, i'm glad people register to vote, but i think we're appl. i think there could be a potentially a political component here. >> steve: okay. so let's talk a little bit about the security component. what about these navigators? who are they? they're going to have all our data. can we trust them? >> apparently there will be no criminal background checks on these people, none. so let's say someone has been convicted of identity theft. they could get hired as a navigator and the pay is good, between 20 and $48 apparently. we could have identity theft experts going through people's records. i think it's a serious problem. also they don't even have to have a high school education.
4:19 am
>> steve: they could get paid up to 50 bucks an hour? >> yeah. >> steve: great job. you say there is a silver lining to all of this data hub business. >> this is the federal government. >> steve: that's right. [ laughter ] >> and for example, the last time the federal government tried an enormous computer integration of health records, it was between the veterans administration of the department of defense. they tried to do it starting in 1998 and 2013, in february this year. they threw up their hands and said, this isn't going to work. we crashed and burned. >> steve: wear back to pens and paper. you also say that the potential failure of the program could further convince voters obamacare is unworkable. >> steve: well, let's say if it -- >> well, let's say if it works, we'll be exposed to potential security issues. if it doesn't work, more money goes down the drain and more people have false hope. i think one of the worst things about obamacare is almost half of the people who are promised this new health insurance will be dumped into medicaid, which
4:20 am
is substandard medicine. that's not fair or right for them. >> steve: and it's coming. all right. john telling us about the data hub. thank you. scary. next up, the government shelling out $76 million for brand-new fema trailers. one problem, no one will use them. we'll tell you why coming up. plus, it's known as one of the country's scariest bridges. the chesapeake bay bridge, and our next guest was just rear-ended and pushed off it. that's her car being hauled out. how she survived that terrifying plunge. ♪ what makes your family smile? backflips and cartwheels. love, warmth. here, try this. backflips and camm, ok!s. ching! i like the fact that there's lots of different tastes going on. mmmm! breakfast i'm very impressed. this is a great cereal! honey bunches of oats. i hear you crunching.

4:26 am
silver tractor-trailer coming full speed at me. i blinked three times. the second time i could only see the nose of the truck and it was huge. i said to myself, is he going to slow down? i blinked a third time and that's when he hit me. >> brian: you were thinking to yourself, i'll still be okay if i could just stay on the bridge, right? >> yes. he hit me so hard that i immediately felt my car go on the right side onto the jersey wall of the bridge and was riding that wall for quite a while. i just was really hoping i could stay on this bridge because even when i was at a stop on the bridge, i could look over and see the water. >> brian: wow. so air bags are out. finally you go off the side of the bridge. what did that feel like?
4:27 am
>> it felt -- it was horrifying. it felt the jerk. it felt like a roller coaster, being in air, felt like slow motion. i was in air for quite a while. i opened my eyes at that point and saw the glass flying everywhere. the sky, the land, the water and i said to myself, this is it. i really didn't think i was gog make it because i was falling off a bridge. >> brian: so you fall off the bridge, the way i understand it and i understand this is so traumatic, i can't even imagine being able to talk after it, so we appreciate you sharing this story. you're in the water. you feel your body filling up with water, but you said i'm not going to drown. what did you do? >> yes. i hit the water and i had a slight panic attack. my seatbelt was really tight on me. it was locked and my arms are kind of flailing around a little bit. my mouth got filled with water
4:28 am
and i started to feel the drowning sensation. i started to feel like my body was filling up with water and i didn't like how it felt. i said to myself, i didn't cause this. this is not my fault. i'm not going to go out this way. i'm not dying. and just like that, i had a change of heart and i just felt as if god was to touch my shoulder and push me back and to relax me to push my right hand on to my seatbelt as hard as i could, take my left arm and place it where my driver's side window was and grab both sides of my window, swim out and push at an angle to get momentum to go up to the surface as fast as i could because i didn't think i could hold my breath any longer. >> brian: wow. so you had the presence of mind to say, this is how i get out. this is where the seatbelt is. this is where the but the but the -- the button is. thankfully the glass broke so you didn't have so smash it.
4:29 am

>> sad news, detroit has become the largest city in the united states history to file for bankruptcy. detroit's population dropped something like 70%. but the government got bigger. the takes backs got smaller, but the government got bigger. thank god that thing to never happen in washington. whoa! oh, my god. we know better than to go down that road. yeah. >> steve: scary road. >> gretchen: it might not be a joke because now there is word other major u.s. cities could follow. i think 100 major municipalities. lauren joins us now. good morning. >> hi there. good morning. detroit is not alone. that's the message. dozens and dozens of cities across the country facing a similar fate. moody's identified chicago, cincinnati, minneapolis, santa fe, new mexico, or the land,
4:35 am
oregon, many -- among many others. it's the cost of retired workers health care. research says more than 100 billion is unfunded for retiree health care. so take a look at some of the these big cities facing big shortfalls there. new york, unfunded by nearly $23,000 per household. boston, nearly 19,000. detroit, more than $15,000. so to make up for the money that detroit didn't have, what did it do? it gutted services, closing many parks, cutting its police force, letting buildings go completely abandoned. and at the same time, detroit sucked its taxpayers dry. residents of detroit pay the highest property and income taxes in the state of michigan. and nearly half of that money went toward retiree benefits and debt. so the question is, and this is what cities from philadelphia to chicago are asking, when is enough enough? is clipping pensioners and bond
4:36 am
holders better than whacking the taxpayers? standard and poor weighing in. they say detroit bankruptcy filing should be considered ideosyncratic. >> steve: just a matter of time. thank you very much. now we've got headlines for you at 24 minutes before the top of the hour. overnight, lawmakers in the u.s. house taking a stand against spying by the nsa. the rules committee adding the amendment to see a $598 billion defense bill. one amendment bans the nsa from collecting communication records unless that person is the subject of an official investigation. the other amendment that prohibits them from targeting a u.s. citizen or storing their phone and e-mail records. the house will start considering those bills later today. >> brian: federal appeals court has once again blocked suburb's ordinance.

4:39 am
was so convinced that braun was clean that he put up his own salary this year. that's $39.5 million. that's a lot more than braun's $3 million that he will lose. rogers so far staying silent. don't worry. he'll be making 10 million next year and 12 million the year after. talking about ryan braun. lance armstrong break the silence about his doping confession to oprah. >> the reaction and the fallout was more than i expected, but i'm a big boy. again, a polarizing topic that left a lot of people stumped. it's just going to take a while to work through that. it wasn't a pretty time. i didn't invent it and i didn't end it. my bad for playing along. >> brian: wow. he sat down for the interview to mark his return to cycling. many are outraged that he'd participate in the paper's great annual bicycle race across iowa.

>> steve: very nice. >> brian: without a tongue. >> gretchen: this is like not so much rags to rich, but kind of. >> literally. i did because i was a janitor when i was young. my parents had a janitorial business and i was a janitor. so i had my rags that i cleaned the desks and the toilets with and now i was able to do this. without "america's got talent, it would not have happened, bus people didn't know what i did. >> brian: does it start with sock puppets and work its way up? >> pretty much. yeah. i would -- i started when i was ten doing send trail kitchen. and i could always do impressions from when i was age six. we just kind of put the two together. it wasn't until i met winston. >> you remember that cartoon, where the guy found the frog that could go, hello, my darling? that's what happened. except mine performed in public. >> steve: just the perseverance
4:48 am
because is it true that somebody said, okay, we've seen your act. it's not las vegas style. you did a venue and how many people showed up? >> one. it was two months before i went on "america's got talent" and i did a performance for three producers in vegas and they all three told me you were not vegas material. you'll never play vegas. the ventriloquists don't do well here. and then -- >> steve: man, were they wrong. >> i wasn't with him. >> he didn't come along until the show because i wanted to do kermit the frog and the muppets would not let me. so i wandered around in los angeles looking for some kind of an amphibian or reptile. >> gretchen: even though you do all these shows, like 200 shows a year at the mirage, you decided i want to get out to the
4:49 am
rest of the country. >> exactly. and one of the things i do is a different show than what you'll see in vegas. so if you come out on thursday, we'll be in westbury at the theater there. and then we're going to be at the new jersey performing arts center in newark on friday. and the show is different. so you can come out and one thing that is a lot of fun is that i recreate the win on "america's got talent." i recreate the entire experience. so the audience gets to see what it felt like to be on the show. i'm telling you, it's so much fun. >> brian: sometimes do you have trouble yourself separating what's you and what's not you? >> no. never. no. and the puppets do not come home with us. my wife doesn't like them. she's here. >> gretchen: she doesn't like puppets? >> no. >> steve: once a month when the checks come, she loves puppets. >> brian: what do you tell her? you have a night job? >> she's my assistant in my show. but she never got sesame street

5:02 am
out. >> brian: we're very excited, old chap. >> steve: there he is. >> gretchen: what did he say about the name? because you know, yesterday it was the wait -- the waiting was for the actual baby, was it a girl or boy. today the wait is, is it going to be named james, harry, henry, george? >> steve: i don't think it will come today. when william was named, it took over a week. right about a week. so it could be a number of days before -- although -- >> gretchen: that's not good news for martha's martha mccall. >> steve: we are expecting the happy couple to cop out today and we'll get the first picture. >> gretchen: there are a lot of changes. yesterday it came out over social media before it was announced traditionally at buckingham palace with that easel. and the announcement that came out on paper. so who knows? things could be changing and it's all exciting. right? >> brian: right. next thing you know, the next kid, born by fax. never know. >> steve: the fax of life. >> brian: those are different.

police sergeant who released these photos of accused bomber boston bomber dzhokhar tsarnaev is going to find out if he still has a job. he was relieved of duty for one day after he gave the photos to boston magazine last week. he's the focus of an internal investigation now. murphy says he did it in response to this controversial rolling stone cover of the accused boston bomber. thousands supporting him. a save sergeant sean murphy facebook page has over 57,000 likes. a gymnast makes a dolphin smile. >> so curious. oh, my -- shut up! he's loving it. >> gretchen: the dolphin stops mid swim to check out the girl doing flips in front of his tank. he seems to cheer her on as she performs. this amazing video now going viral on-line. those are your headlines. >> steve: there is two flippers there. >> brian: right. both can fight crime.
5:05 am
>> gretchen: another fox news alert. new video into the fox news room of prince charles. >> very exciting. >> gretchen: prince charles continuing with his scheduled engagements along with his wife, camilla. this morning the world wants to know when will we see the royal baby and what is his name? martha mccallum live in london with the new details. good morning again, martha. >> good morning again. you're right, those are the two big questions. when will we see the royal baby and what is his name? on the first question, we think we're a few hours away now from the first appearance of the royal baby on the steps of saint mary's hospital behind me. no doubt, the new mom is resting up. it's a long day. she experienced yesterday. now we're hearing that it could be in the early hours of this evening our time, which is five hours ahead of your time back in new york.
5:06 am
so that's one of the big questions that remains. the main question is getting a lot of attention as well. i think we have a piece of sound from a little moment that camilla, prince charles' wife, experienced when she was out over the past few hours. take a look at this. i don't know how clearly you could hear, but the child suggested spencer as perhaps one of the boys names and obviously an uncomfortable moment for camilla because spencer is diana's family name and spencer could probably be the last name that camilla would like to see this child bear. but we don't know what the name is going to be. there was a lot of discussion about whether or not diana would be part of a girl's name. whether or not there will be any reference to diana's family in the course of this name seems a little difficult to pin down at this point. doubtful that it would be
5:07 am
spencer. but in terms of reaction, celebrities are also reacting to the royal news. back at home, let's look from michael tamaro on the red carpet. >> fred, i think is good. >> edward. that is all that keeps coming to mind, something very british. >> can you imagine if they said the baby's name is thor. what are you going to say? >> steve. >> ace. >> yeah. hard to imagine that any of those will be on the list with the possible exception of maybe edward. but there is a bunch of odds makers around here. so we're going to hopefully get some information on the name. i think gretchen is right. i think because of the way they're putting things out and because of social media, it will come out sooner rather than later and we'll be here when it does. >> gretchen: the other interesting thing was diana's middle name was frances.
5:08 am
there was something said about that could be a middle name in her honor because it is a boy and not a girl. doing a great job there, thanks very much. >> francis is -- okay. see you later. >> gretchen: sorry. we got to go to laura ingraham. >> brian: hey, laura. >> i think marmalade or union jack. >> brian: how good was it to see dice? >> when you get him commenting on the baby name, you know we've all gone a bit mad here. >> steve: especially the part where there was actually a little sound bite we could play on the air. >> but doocy, do you know what prince charles was saying? wasn't he saying, i love magna carta by jay-z? >> i don't know what he's saying. >> steve: the accent on the royal baby. laura, what about this, there is this new data hub and it's
5:09 am
pretty extraordinary because what they're going to be doing is they're going -- the government is going to be hiring a bunch of these navigators. we were just talking to john fund from national review. going to sign up these navigators to go out in communities, try to get people to sign up for obamacare. the scary thing is these navigators with this data hub will have access to all of our secrets. social security, irs, department of homeland security. >> blood type. >> steve: scares people. >> whether you're ever had wisdom teeth extracted. this is just -- when you need a navigator to actually understand a piece of federal legislation, you know, first of all, that's a problem, right? and if it works as well as the gps in our cars, if the navigation is that successful, you know it will be a problem. fun's piece was really good because he pointed out that not only do we have these navigators and the money that was
5:10 am
allocated, the 54 million that sebelius wanted to use to publicize obamacare and help people understand this wonderful piece of legislation, also they're trying to use celebrities, as you talked about to market it as well. i hope the celebrities are ready to feel the blowback, i think they'll get when people realize that their personal data is going to be accessed by navigators who don't need a college degree, who as far as we can tell, don't really go through any type of thorough screening or real background check. >> steve: no criminal background check. >> right. so given all of the abuses we've seen at the irs and with careless use of personal data from u.s. taxpayers, who feels good about this? >> brian: right. jennifer hudson and representatives from alicia keist. >> living on a prayer, baby, if you think your data is going to be safeguarded in this process.
5:11 am
>> gretchen: i was going to say that i don't know if it's a slap in the face to politicians, they couldn't get the message across. now they're going to celebrities? i mean, and it's kind of a slap in the face to young people that they would rather listen to celebrities who know more about obamacare than the politicians? maybe. >> i don't think this dog hunts, i really don't. they could have -- unless prince william and kate and the baby sold this thing, it won't sell. people don't want it. people have good instincts. common sense usually kicks in at some point. they see what's happening to the medical profession already in anticipation of this legislation. >> brian: now the president is pivoting. while he's got his navigators, he wants to talk about the economy in a series of speeches. here is the theme. prosperity does not trickle down. a rising tide does not necessarily lift up boats. we have to build from the middle
5:12 am
out. >> i haven't heard that before. that's all very new. shiny new rhetoric. >> brian: if it doesn't happen, who is to blame? congress. >> okay, good. >> it's going to be the kickoff to what is essentially several months of us trying to get washington and the press to refocus on the economy. he'll give a pretty good speech. but as we learn -- i've given some pretty good speeches before. [ laughter ] and then things still get stuck here in washington. >> steve: always have to get the dagger in there. those darn republicans. >> it's so juvenile. i want to laugh, but it's really pathetic and the president as a grown man and his fifth year in office is still blaming congress? i have a five-year-old and a three-year-old and this morning before i left, one is blaming
5:13 am
the other that he pushed me he took my plane. this is ridiculous! the president's sole focus to be to keep our country safe and grow prosperity from day one, not not starting in year five when the heat is on. i look at the speed yesterday and i say, i can't believe despicable part 3 is out? that's incredible. i love it. >> steve: he's positioning the democrats for the mid terms. but you knew that. laura, have a great day. you'll be on the radio in 45 minutes. >> take care. >> gretchen: coming up, the president joining the race debate, taking a firm stand on the trayvon martin case. but what about the kids in his hometown of chicago? bishop t.d. jakes joins us live next. >> steve: plus -- >> you are in huge trouble, by the way, like super big, huge trouble. like really big trouble.

>> gretchen: the president joining a race debate, taking a stand in the trayvon martin case. so why is the president addressing this case and not the shootings in his hometown of chicago? let's ask bishop t.d. jakes. he's the founder of the potters house of dallas. good to see you. >> pleasure to be here. >> gretchen: it's been so long. i used to go to your church in dallas when i lived there. >> we miss you. come back. >> gretchen: such an honor to be in your presence and i remember many of your sermons. let's talk about the president. is he in a difficult situation? did he do the right thing? >> the way i feel, every now and then, cases come along that really capture the fascination of the entire nation. trayvon martin's case was that sort of case. i just left aurora, colorado, where we did a memorial service.
5:18 am
that was another situation, though trayvon's was less people, it captured the fascination of the people. >> gretchen: did he invoke the right tone? is it right for him to speak about it? should we be addressing the issue of racism, or should he be talking about what i said in the lead in which was these shootings that are happening in his hometown where it's mostly black on black crime. >> that's an issue that he has spoken about and something we continue to talk about within our own community. but it doesn't always get the press. so a lot of times what you speak about, whether people mute you out is based on whether they heard you say it on television. but there is an ongoing problem in washington, d.c. where the capitol is, in los angeles, all over the world. so it's an ongoing problem. i don't think he can become the police officer. but this is a great opportunity for us to talk about race in this country. i think that it can be the impetus for change. if we begin to understand we're not a monolithic society and
5:19 am
there is a need for us to develop ways to get along better. we can't do that if we don't talk about it. >> gretchen: you have that talent of bringing people together of all different races and you're going to have a new tv show on bet. >> yes. >> gretchen: tell me a little bit about it. >> that's exciting. the show called "mind, body and soul" on bet and we hope for it to ultimately be syndicated. but it is a weekly show. it's an opportunity to talk about faith, but also about mind, about how we process pain and trials and tribulations and about our health and all of that. i'm going to talk about -- i've been interviewing everybody from marvin to ll cool jay to steve harvey. we did the show on gun violence, centered around the crisis in chicago that's going to air on bet. so we really are covering a waterfront of different issues that are of interest to people. >> gretchen: one of the big things you say is that fatherlessness is the biggest
5:20 am
problem or one of them in your mind. >> i do think so. i mean, the stats are alarming today of the amount of children that grow up in fatherless homes. even in the general pop lace, it's increasing rapidly. we've got to talk about this because it is -- high dropouts from school because they have no fathers in the home. we're going to tackle that. oprah and i are going to team up at mega fest in dallas, texas, labor day weekend. and oprah is going to team up with me. we're going to take on these issues, some of the family issues and talk about them. it's a part of the festival. it will be a lot of fun with other things, from church to women of purpose concerts all going on. but that's one of the things we're going to talk about. >> gretchen: people can check out your new show on bet, all the great success. i hope it continues to come your way. >> thank you. >> gretchen: want to cool off today? better think twice before turning on the ceiling fan.

5:25 am
steve? >> steve: all right, brian. oh, yeah. in the middle of the summer heat wave, a good ceiling fan spinning can be the key to keeping cool. but the government wants to limit the number of fans you can have. that's right. republican strategist is here to explain this week's red tape. let's start with the fans. >> sure. the department much energy has just released about 100 pages of new rules governing ceiling fans. it is in the name of energy efficiency, so again, this is on the heels of first they came for the light bulb, now they're coming for the ceiling fans. but unfortunately, what this is going to mean in practice is prices are going to go up. consumers are going to have fewer decorative options and they're limited as you said before, in the number of rooms they can have fans in. so what this is going to mean is people will actually probably turn to air conditioning instead of fans if they can't get the fans they want, which will then drive up more energy use. absolutely going to backfire. >> steve: unintended
5:26 am
consequences. now let's talk about -- this is big -- rabbit disaster plan. >> this will make you want to pull your hair out. >> steve: whoa! >> so as it turns out, the usda has jurisdiction over magicians. if they use animals in their act. so this actually goes back to a 1970 law that oversees animals used for exhibitions which was originally intended to cover zoos and circuses. now it covers magicians and recently the usda said that all these animal exhibitors like the magicians, have to come up with animal disaster plans. and so they can be three pages, 50 pages. what happens if there is a natural disaster? if the power goes out? you have to say who is the chain of command who will feed them. crazy. >> steve: that's right. just so the government knows that there is a bunny in the false bottom of the top hat in
5:27 am
my hand. and finally, in the great state of illinois, there are rules on weeds. >> yes. my hometown of chicago has a weed ordinance. the greatest threat to law and order in the city of chicago, dandelions. they've been giving awards to those creating native gardens and then ticketing the people $640 for these violations of having weeds over ten inches. it seems like an entrapment. but it turns out they're raising a lot of revenue. what a coincidence. >> steve: that is crazy. here is an award and a fine. crazy stuff. nicky neilies joins us once a week. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> steve: crazy. all right. it's known as one of the country's scariest bridges and one woman just survived a plunge off of it. that's her car being towed out the next day. she tells us how she got out alive coming up. plus, check out what this little girl got caught doing to her

5:34 am
arrangement. >> gretchen is someone that eats their hot dogs with ketchup and mustard. >> well, gretchen, that's a good choice. [ laughter ] >> i'm glad i'm helping you change your minds. let's take a quick look at the weather conditions across the country. it's going to be a hot day in texas. if you're headed outdoors, we're talking almost triple digits. 99 in dallas. 90 in san antonio. in new york city, not too bad. 84 for your high temperature out there across the northeast. in the northeast, we're also talking the possibility of seeing flooding. a number of watches are in effect. you can see that rain pushing in through areas across new england. the rain over for new york city for now, but we could see more coming up later this afternoon. across parts of the plains and middle mississippi valley, we have the risk for severe storms. and heed any warnings if they're issued for your county. let's pass occupant the hot dogs for -- pass out the hot dogs for everyone out here. >> here is one for you so you can see. >> steve: just the way you like

it. >> brian: we're feeding new yorkers who are all starving today. they were all in a rush, could not -- >> we're going to feed them. >> steve: bring in some of those hot dog nuggets. they look delicious. >> gretchen: thanks. >> steve: later today on the u.s. capitol, a rally, special operation speak is trying to rally support and get the u.s. house to establish a select committee to investigate benghazi. what's interesting is we did hear just a couple of days ago that the aspen security forum, general carter hamm was in washington, d.c. on september 11, 2012, meeting with the secretary of defense, leon panetta, and it was known -- abundantly clear -- until and the joint chiefs of staff. >> steve: they were all there. they knew right away despite what we heard on those chat shows, it was not the video.
5:36 am
it was terrorism. >> brian: by the way, not only that, they knew it was terrorism and they knew it from the commanders in germany. so let me see, in washington, they found out from germany, and in libya it was terrorism. but it took us, what, 2 1/2 weeks to actually declare we were still up in the air on what was happening? in fairness to them, there was riots in about embassies all across that region. how we did not know that ahead of time is also somewhat concerning that we should have been fortified for the 9-11 anniversary. but ultimately it took the ambassador's life. we still don't know, i still am not clear why general hamm didn't retire at that time. >> steve: was he squeezed out? a lot of people think he was after benghazi. >> gretchen: a lot of people are still wondering why the five people that they've noted were involved in this haven't been arrested. that, to me, is one of the most glaring things that has been unresolved up until this point, as well as hearing from some of the survivors from benghazi. congressman louis gohmert, a republican out of texas, has met
5:37 am
with some of those survivors and he had these thoughts. >> we need to know what happened and why in the world this administration thought it was a good idea to basically figuratively slap the face of the new president of libya when he knew it was not the result of a video. there are so many holes in this thing, we need to get to the bottom of it and if we don't, i can tell you that there will be future americans die serving our country in an embassy or a consulate somewhere simply because we didn't do our job and get to the bottom of this. >> steve: it's hard to get to the bottom of things when you got congressmen like frank wolf of virginia, republican, saying that the government, federal government had some of the survivors sign nondisclosure forms so they wouldn't spill any beans as late as this summer. >> brian: i'm so glad the special forces men are coming forward because we talked to them off camera and they're
5:38 am
outraged. they have to keep it under wraps because they're told to or they think it's the right thing to do for now. they're finally realizing it's their guys that died in two of the cases and they should come forward or else it could be them next or it just shows a lack of caring for their ultimate welfare. >> gretchen: let's bring you other headlines now. al-qaeda taking responsibility for the military style attack that sent more than 500 inmates from a major prison free. many senior members of the terror group. they drove cars packed with explosives to the gates on sunday while guards were attacked and grenades set off. at least 20 iraqi soldiers killed. brian? >> brian: student telling her story of survival after plunging 40 feet off a bridge into the water friday night. 8:20, morgan lake was driving across the chesapeake bay bridge when a tractor-trailer hit her and she plunged into the water
