thanks, of course, to everyone who responded, as always. go and have a great day. >> "fox & friends" starts right now. bye. >> bye.=ikr=]c>b=b good morning. it's wednesday, september 25th. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. he's still going. you are looking at senator ted cruz live on the senate floor speaking for 15 hours. so what's his points and what's going to come out of all this? we're going to break it down for you today. >> and game over for a college lacrosse player accused of a violent crime. that guy right there. his excuse? i learned it in the gameiçjáf theft auto." >> circle the word "game." and what happens when you're hired to do bill clinton but he does not show up? well, you play the part if you're bono. >> when i first met bono, he walked into the oval office, and actually, i thought it was a >> see what happens when the

former president finally arrives "fox & friends" starts right now. it's time for "f "fox & friends."mymgsñ >> my guess bono just proved you, too, can sound like bill clinton. >> i like it. >> bill clinton was late, he was finding his stage, but bono was good on stage. you saw he took over tr a second. >> i thought that was great. he's used to performing, getting a crowd excited about something before it happens or xdnot. >> but he needed notes. live in our nation's capitol, he's into the 15th hour, he's been talking nonstop, eviscerating obamacare, talking about all sorts of stuff. it started yesterdayñi at 2:41 ha it is technically not a úkfñ filibuster. rather it's modelled on an

old-fashioned speech because around noon he's going to get the carpet jerked out from underneath of him, and harry reid's going to have a vote on this thing. >> exactly. there's a finite point her we're going to get to. you can't just keep going for day and days and days. >> he said a lot, when you talk for this long. he actually took questions for a while around 11:00. he said senator dick durbin showed up, started throwing somo questions at him. here's a little of how he got some help from some of his friends. he has now beat, by the way, rand paul's record this year of consecutive hours talking. so he's probably going to -- ç 12:00. so here is a little about what he said last night. >> i want to make this about a battle of this senator versus that senator. this person versus that person. pu . look. vg)u not give a flying flip about a bunch of politicians in washington. who cares?

you know, almost all of us are in cheap shoes with bad haircuts. who cares? hn nsenator, but ier[ thought i'd come down and make sure you have comfortable shoes on, make sure you're getting enough to eat, try not to eat on television. that's some free advice. that sometimes show up. but my question really relates to obama tl care, and i think you've done a good job of bringing attention to something that i think's going to be a real tragedy for the country. >> "green eggs & ham" was my favorite book. the food coloring is a little bit cheating. but if you actually take something like spinach and mix it into the eggs, the eggs turn green. >> i'd note the congressman has the unique distinction of joining you and me, senator paul iñi which i, for one, i'm not sure which particular avian species to had that refers, but

whichever one it is, if it whichever one it is, if it reflects; constitution, aphidlity to liberty and a willingness to defend the principals that country was founded on, then i and i believe i can speak for you and rand and the congressman and i think quite a few others of us are very, very proud wacko birds. redneck rule number one. most things can be fixed with duct tapeñi and extension co'rr it's now late at night. i'm going to venture to say most members of the united states senate are home in bed asleep. while america lives the nightmare. >> there's just a little of his 15 hours plus. it lacks like he's probably going to stretch past 20 hour before it's all done. he was talking p how they were going into the night. at home at his house in texas, his two young daughter were actually watching dad there on

c-span2 and on the fox news channel occasionally. so what did he do? he read them "green eggs & ham." >> i know. >>)4t' >> that was one of my favorite moments. you can agre or not agree with what he's doing with this bill. this is one of my two favorite moments when he decided to get real and read the bedtime story. what an opportunity to reach out to the american people but your own daughter. there was a hash tag on twitter #defundobamacarebecause. that was going wild. it was spitfire all over twitter. and he brought the american people right onto the floor and read their tweets. i thought, those two moves actually show you someone who care and has a thumb on the pulse of americans out there right now. >> good point. >> so the house passes this funding bill. h8/qñ to the senate. it does not fund obamacare. the senate about 12:00 today going to put the funding back in obamacare, then kick it back to the house at which time it's game on for the house again.

meanwhile, there is one senator from connecticut who where you c complaining about the hours. >> right. >> logging in extra hours. he tweeted in there, too. it wasn't under the hash tag, though, that i mentioned before. he said walking into the capitol to take an 11:00-1:00 shift presiding over the senate for this pointless fairy tale non-filibuster. >> is it pointless? he is making a point. keep in mind, he's only been in the senate for about nine months, but he is a poster boy for a lot on the hard right who believe that we need a take-no-prisoners kind of gal or guy. sarah palin weighed in on mr. cruz andñr cruz control on capil hill. here she is last night with hannity. >> ted cruz loves his countrymen, and he does not want to see us destroyed by bad selfish policy,

what is right. and yet the naysayers, sean, are telling us that this is a lost cause. fighting for what's right. fighting against a program that's so bad that congress itself exempted itself out of. i don't know if you saw mr. smith goes to washington, mark l levin reminded his listeners of this today. when jimmy stewart's character said a lost cause during his own filibuster, his character, he said a lost cause is the only one that'sxnccí0ç actually wort fighting for because a lost cause -- the only reason you would fight for such a thing is for one reason, one plain, simple reason, and that is love thy neighbor. >> here's the thing. number one, i've got to go to alaska. that looks beautiful in the backdrop. i listen to him almost every day, but i think the word is movie, the jimmy stewart movie. tactically, this is a good movie in spirit, but you don't have the 8cfnumbers. there's not enough time left to work it out. there's not enough sentiment on the other side to get the numbers up.

you can want as much as you wish. you could be on the right side the tame. you'veñf5=q till october 1st t work sfw out. so at noon he's going to be knock out at which time it's going to go back to the house and at which time theñi house wl hopefully have enough time to say, okay, get out the personal mandate. strip that out. they're gl?rñ# ; to have to strip that out, get it back to the senate before october 1st before the government stops. my feeling overall is this thing is a disaster. there's been 19 different waivers. they can't implement it. the states and doctors are panicking. >> they can't even getsrsg:s th website moving on it, right? >> the clinic can't work it out. they're waiting on thousands of people. let the bill stand on its current merit, fall apart on its 1> the way sarah palin laid it out there, she does make sense. you know, can you say, well, the numbers just aren'tvfu there, b at the same time, if you look at

the number of people in the united states who are squarely against it, it's in the justq republicans. it's democrats. it's union. >> not in the house. >> it's members of the president's own party who don't like it. and so it looks like -- and keep in mind, there were some closed-door meetings yesterday according to "the washington post" where people politely spoke to mr. cruz about what he wanted to do. and they explainedñi how, you know, this is really going to complicate things.ñr keep in mind had the government shut down back in 1995 and 1996, the republican party was squarely blamed. we don't want to get tagged with that again. nonetheless, he said he would like to stretch the debate into the weekend until he's no longer >wva he, however,o ieo8ziebo÷ will to speak until noon, and then harry reid's going to take the vote. >> i think many people are in the camp that say obamacare has one person's name on it. if everything goes down, that one person's name is attached, anything run interference right

now is only going to account for shared blame down the road, right? and that's dangerous. >> one democrat, max baucus says it's a train wreck, but he's not voting against it.3(p t÷kwñ-badfis:jórñ things behind closed doors. not one democrat stands against it, not even joe manchin. he has no relationshipq9xm(rv#t white house who actually can speak his mind, not one. >> there are four democrats running for re-election who are in trouble. if it were a close vote, you would have to watch to see whether or not they would go ahead and jump over. so the backup plan on the house side is, éf ableñr to go ahead and pass the stripped-down version of their bill, kick it back to them with no -- >> with funding for obamacare. >> exactly. missing, what they would plan to do is attach a one-year delay of the individual mandate, but that surely would automatically

trigger a government shutdown. >> because? >> the democrat, none of them, would go on record. >> they'll go back to the senate q&bvhc delay even though it works to the benefit of the program to delay it a year because it is not ready for primetime. >> we actually have a quick look here of marcoñi rubio, senator from florida right now. >> he's part of the fun. >> he's right there. we're going to be speaking with him later. >> -- maxed out my credit card. i'ming if to take out my life savings, and i'm going to open a small business because i believe in my idea. and i will guarantee you that that, those first years were tough. this idea that you open up a business and tomorrow your facebook -- >> i thought our show was long. >> he's going to be joining us a little later on. e-mail us right now. what do you think about what2);@ cruz and company are doing on rá a lost cause, or is it a just cause, or what's the cause for it? e-mail us, friends@foxnews.com or tweet us.

 senator rube yoe aio asks him a question? >> i'm just glad to know that somebody else is working overnight. got some quick headlines. supporters of the second amendment will twentily want to listen to this one. just a few hours from now secretary of state john kerry is expected to sign a new international arm trade treaty. this treaty is designed to stop the flow of weapons to country that violate human rights. that doesn't sound like such a  thing. but gun supporters are opposing part of it because it requires ÷ united st adopt a new civilian gun-tracking system, and that could sidestep the second amendment. the house of representatives coming together in a rare bipartisan move to pass a measure to protect christians who are being targeted in the middle east. now, this bill will create a special envoy within the state department who would travel overseas to defend religious minorities. last week two suicide bombersñ& attacked the historic all saints %9

people dead. christians were alsoçó targetedn that mall massacre in kenya and so many other places as well. well, it is game over for an auburn university lacrosse player. he tried to bring "grand theft auto" to the streets of louisiana. zachary burgess is his name. and he told cops in baton rouge that he wanted toeye popular video =p?8tgame. so what did he do? he stole a car with a woman inside. he sped off, hitting several parked cars before that woman hí0 >> he wouldn't look at me. it was like he was in the zone.ó >> no serious injuries. thank goodness with that. that is the lateste headlines. back to you. see you in a half hour. >> thank you very much. that never happened with "donkey kong." >> it didn't. >> nope. 13 minutes after the top of the hour on this wednesday. she didn't read the health care bill, and now nancy pelosi getting caught not knowing what's in= her comments5tg[fg-ñ on tape. then remember bertha lewis? she was the head of a.c.o.r.n.

hey, remember a.c.o.r.n., the communit>mr"m organizing gr that was forced to disband after a series of undercover tapes3gw showed employees giving advice how to cheat the tax system? now their disgracedqéb'ffñ for blasio win office. here to explain, the author of this book "spreading the wealth," stanley kurtz. stanley, in what way is a.c.o.r.n. moving the money from the suburbs to the city? >> well, a.c.o.r.n., of course, strongly supported a policy called regionalism high school a &vd obama's a

administrati administration, although he doesn't like to talk about it, his department of housing and urban development is crafting rules right now which are about to come into effect which are going to force new housing to be built in verys-wy#;1g densely cities. barack obama has a long history working with community organizations like a.c.o.r.n. trying to find ways to channel suburban tax money into the coffers of city governments. and so bertha '0v< just another sign of the fact that obama is still working on these policy. >> here's bertha lewis in action last week. >> for+ktv the first time ever history, african-american outvoted white americans. ooh. that's the fear of the white man. that's why it should matter it

us. >> talking about racial divide, talking p a financial vtúf÷divi and now you have this-b>:l7%r this guy who wants to be mayor, de blasio, on the democratic cause. >> well, that's right, brian. i think bertha louis's marks on immigration were wrong, and i also think they were dangerous. they were wrong because you bring tens of millions of new workers into this country when al unemployment, that's going to hurt all americans no matter their race or ethnicity including workers when belofix o the same minoritiesxd bertha les claims to speak for. imj8 also think her remark were dangerous because when you try to buildj-ih1political coalitio by appealing it race and ethnicity rather than to the ideas and policies that all americans can share, then that's the way to divide this country. and what's happening now isñr tt cf1 o lewis is shooting back](g into the news not only because she was invited to address the congressional black caucus on immigration but because bill

deblade blasio turn out to be a longtime friend of bertha lewis. lewis has been braggingde blas blasio, then she and her new group, they're going to be right back in the political driver's seat. >> yeah, his goal is to take those horrible rich people that have a nice place, get the money from them and spread it around until all those rich people pick up and go somewhere else. >> that's it. is and this isn't really just a new york story. i mean, a lot of commentators surprisingly on both the right an"@ajr/2= to the rise of bill de blasio and his a.c.o.r.n. friends. and also the increasing influence of very left-leaning senator elizabeth warren and saying hey, this could be the start of a big left ideological turn in the/)c democratic part. >> stanley, thanks so much for joining us. appreciate it. we'll talk about this trend as we get closer to election day. still ahead on our show, they fight and die for our country. so how's this for respect? a former nfl player playing for

going to be eliminating the guest assistance card, which is something we've relied on for many years to make the park accessible for our special need son and subsequently our=d-áent family. and so obviously, i was heartbroken when i heard the news because we save up all year long to be able to afford an annual pass. we don't travel. it's very difficult to travel qyv? vacation. it's very close. it's seven miles from home. and you know, we justify these passes as our entertainment. it's where we enjoy ourselves as a family, and we love disney. so the idea that these changes $&"isney will no longer be accessible to our child based on his disabilities and this new program they want to implement, you know, i was fairly upset, to say the least. say f sharing some pictures of your family, too. i know that -- it seem like a rigid system to be put in place for families with special needs, correct? >> absolutely. and you know, depending upon -- you know, we're a very diverse

demographic. no two special needs individuals are exactly alike. and so, you know, it feel like if this proposed plan goesm)l+7 effect, it's a response to an issue that involves a very diverse population. yeah, for our family,jú%+a@÷ n proposed changes will not work, absolutely not. >> in terms of preventing this, they say people were fraudulent. they were faking disability, taking advantage of the system. in your opinion, what's a quick solution and a middle ground? is it identification? is it doctors' notes? >> i would love to have the magic formula. i will tell you ñl7xclm9ñ you know, the families i've spoken with, we're not opposed to filling out paperwork. we're not opposed to filling out forms. this is what we do anyway with raising a special needs loved one or having a loved one with special needs in our family. so we're not afraid to go through some sort of vetting process in order to obtain these passes, you know, something that would refine the process.

i realize that there's laws in :k$ privacy that make that difficult. but, you know, to me, disney, i could see them trying to find a way around that some way. >> but if you're willing to do it, i think it seems like a great solution. jo, i know it's early for you. i hope that youyxqjg-qa%bz2 disney the way you have been for a long time. >> thank you. >> keep fighting for that middle ground. >> thank you so much for having me, elisabeth. thanks. up next, the rundown. did you see the president's speech at the u.n.? some say it was his strongest speech. so was it? we report. qñ and take a look at this unbelievable video. a race car driver loses control and goes airborne before finally landing into a pond. the story behind that video next. ♪ ho ho ho [ female announcer ] at 100 calories, not all food choices add up. some are giant. some not so giant. when managing your weight, bigger is always better. ♪ ho ho ho

ño?s5 tod4x president obamaa big speech over there on the middle east. and leaders in the middle east were, like, you have touched our hearts. and from now on, we shall have peace. p obama w and obama was, like, really? they're, like, no, but the look on your face was priceless.

are you kidding me? get out of town, jack! >> yeah,;?zamñ get out of town. and the president did get out of town here in new york city. he's back in washington, d.c. it's interesting, yesterday when we were talking here on the bar stool, we were talking about how [w;t white house and perhaps iran as well were trying to negotiate some sort of a handshake or some sort of a meeting. but as it turns out, the president of the yunited states was#x times by the iraokan uty the first time was the possibility that they could be together at lunch, but mr. rowhani said sorry, i'm not going to do that because alcohol served. >> he didn't even rsvp. >> there was wine there apparently. >> rohwh-o united nations speech, but he was in a meeting with the imf president, which is curious, and he wouldn't shake they said that rowhani didn't have enough time to be in the same room with him. >> yeah. it was kind of like the presidential game of up high,

down low, in the middle, that >> why are we trying to shake their hand? they have the illegal nuclear program, the one5bgde?ptap trai insurgents to kill us in iraq. fueling the insurgency there. they're the ones fueling the civil war in syria who are pushing and fighting against us, keeping assad in power. and we're saying oh, you want to talk to us? that sounds great. it==ç] although i thoughti9eát presidet had some great moments in his i like the fact that he essentially -- and i actually wrote this down -- this is my best line. the bigger risk for the world in coming years is not the united states will try to build empires abroad, but that there will be a price to be paid in chaos and disorder if america elects to stay home. lisp, world, you want to see the world without us taking part in it? we can handle things here. we're helping you out 99% of the time. >> he was saying if we do this alone, it says more about you than it does us, right?

>> exactly. >> he expanded further saying this is what we know already because they are not apt to jump in situations quickly. we know this already. >> they're apt to jump inxz;je÷? our military. >> sure, because it's easier for them to say hey, ep us out. united states, you've got all those tanks and stuff like that. >> look at turkey, saudi arabia, the wikileaks thing revealed one thing. all these country want us to act /sve"ñ world,j publicly. t$ which mean our political leaders take the heat for fighting their battles, and we write the checks. >> a lot of people -- the apology over for obama in terms of the world perspective. and certainly last night on "o'reilly," they were disagreeing with him on just that. >> the usa should not haveçó toe the world's policeman. then mr. obama went on to warn the u.n. that 3ft]9 getting fed up with having to do all the heavy lifting. bottom line, the president's speech was too long, but there were some good moments.

bill. it was not a strong speech. d÷#x%)[ñ, flaccid speech. it doesn't take any courage to dou denounce the u.n. for an action. it takes being 9 year old and having your eyes open. so i don't give him any credit for that. >> a flaccid speech.kgjhl5s> í flashback to çó2000. if you remember back then, our president, bill clinton, it sounded like they were trying to negotiate a get-together with then-president khatani. h@ at the last moment, they said nope, sorry, can't meet with you because internal iranian politics the home who not allow it. essentially, that's exactly the same thing they said yesterday. >> yeah, the people that would are in jail in iran. that's the problem. >> israel did it. they were looking quite closely to actually see how that reaction or the handshake actually went down at all. but we are going to go now and give a high five over to heather

for some headlines. yeah, we're not missing your hand. >> up high, down low, in the middle. >> yeah, too slow. >> got some other headline. shocking announcement from tv's dr. drew. he's been fighting a secret battle against prostate cancer. this diagnosis came earlier this year. surgeons removing his prostate and announcing -- pronouncing that he was cancer free just ten days after that operation. best to him. and car sethieves beware of this one. one guy found a way to track down his stolen suv from his living room. he used google earth to search satellite photos from the area where his car was stolen, andx?o suspicious buried in the wood. what did he do? he plugged in the coordinates to his gps and checked out the area in person. he found his suv covered in brush and leaves. police still haven't arrested any suspects. good thinking there. and she didn't read the health care bill, and now nancy pelosi is getting caught not knowing what's in the u.s.

rangel should remember jesus's no admonition, render unto caesar. in other words, pay your taxes. i believe congressman rangel forgot to do that in the past. second, what this bill does is restore the work requirement. that's it. it's not taking food away from hungry children. it's restoring the work requirement which bill clinton bwq)ony+ in place. am i going to go to hell because i think that maybe able-bodied people should work before y get food stamps in i don't think so. >> maybe some of those people just don't want to work, but they want the free stuff. >> what was that about the seven deadly sins in which one, i can't remember. >> there are plenty of studies that indicate working builds confidence, work builds work. themly path to success begins actually going in and entering into the job ;%] so this doesn't seem like a terrible, evil idea. >> no.ñr but what is your charitable responsibility? all religions require a degree of charity. but it should be direct. you're par, i've got it.

i will give it to you. that is a charitable act. but to employ a third party, the government, which force it out of you, that's not charity. not charity at all. >> and stuart, it's not your thing in particular, but the message from republicans, the headlines are republican cutting fd sta$(kk4 they don't go out and try to define what they're doing, that they don't hate poor people. >> look, this bill required the replacement, getting back, restoring the work requirement. >> that's it. >> that's not a cut. that's restoring a sense of morality, as you pointed out, elisabeth. it's bringing morality back into the program. that's not a cut. that's not denying hungry children food. it's just not that at all. >> i remember ronald reagan -- and there you've got the food have grown -- >> that is not sustainable. that's not. >> right. ronald reagan used to quote a famous chinese saying where if you give a man a fish, he eats for a day. if you teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime. >> welcome to the new america.

aye got i've got it, you want i and you are going to force me to give it to you. that's the new america. >> the fact that so many people are on food stamps is more about the administration than the people. >> the 'vng". >> when varney & company comes as a work requirement. you are ready to go. >> i am. >> now to the gym. meanwhile, straight ahead, every fgoq> i'm in for some tips. and $100 bills seem to be a lot more than faceñi value. try 15 grand. we're going to explain that.

>> steve: family dinners at your house erupt into arguments over texting? put down that phone, or whining or even manners? no, really, you should use a0=3 napkin. it is possible your child may be the powerful one in your family, the kid. the one who walks all over you, they can get away with it. how do you put aà4m1hjgtu  to ? got an answer for you. dr. kevin leeman isñ%o+x@ here, psychologist and father and author of "parenting your powerful child." you should know because kevin, back in the day, you were the powerful child at your house, much to your mother's horror. >> oh, yeah. i was an attention getter, graduated fourth from the bottom of my class. was in a reading group with a girl who ate paste. >> steve: you were the powerful child. define for folks watching what the powerful child is. >> it's not a strong willed child. you want your kid to be strong willed. >> steve: of course. >> the powerful child wants to win, dominate, control. in my case, frankly, of itñi becauseiú#,+mi i followed a siso

was on top of everything and a=% brother who was the quarterback on a football team. >> steve: that's tough. >> all kids are attention getters. but are they getting attention positively or negatively? the;o it pays off. when you're taking buford at 18 months of age and trying to put win an olympic gold by arching his back -- his wife says give him tott and puts him on the lap and feeds him. be buford for just a second, would you rather sit on mommy's lap and be fed or sit in that stupid plastic chair they bought atóf3áú6kix >> steve: it's always the]gj) . fj+ñ6sp1have a kid that wants to argue about everything, you thought about fed-exing him to a far off land, this is the book for you 'cause it gives answers to those kids who get the mouth going. >> steve: even though we have the best intention, we program the kids to be powerful beyond the way we can control them.

you got tips. for example, don't ask questions. what does that mean? >> there is a difference in asking a question and saying i 1 they'll tell you. it's just like us husbands and wives. when a wife says, i got a question for you, we don't like questions as men. kids don't like them either. you want to generate conversation with that child. >> steve: so if the kid is being powerful in the way that they are, ask them a request right there and that defuses it? >> ask their opinion. honey, what's your opinion about this? kids are either going to shut you out -- they become slam and clickers. they go oñoñd their.j=líi==5md then text like wood peckers with adhd. they shut you out of their life. you want an imprint onço7p your kid's life, you have to talk. >> steve: you also say fighting, when there is fighting in the house, it's actually an act of cooperation. >> exactly. it takes two. so you disengage. had your kid is -- when your kid is blowing, you don't put your

sails up. you can say something asñi simpe as you could be right, and walk away. defuse the situation immediately. >> steve: also you were talking about earlier when you talked to the kid, ask them a question, how do you respond to their questions? >> this is interesting because rock concert what, do most parents say? we're not spending money on a rock concert. hey, parent, you're the parentally. do you think you could say, hey, what's up? who is playing? do you have a sample of their music? i'd love to hear it. your kid would fall overment am i saying make your kid happy, happy at every turn? no. an unhappy child is a healthy child. there is time you give your kid vitamin n, which is no. and obviously a lot of vitamin e, which is encouragement. we love our kids, but you don't let kids run over you. today, kids are in full control of adults. >> steve: unfortunately, you're right. there are a lot of parents who could useh it's a great book with great

>> elisabeth: good morning. it's wednesday, september 25. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we start with a fox news alert. he's still talking, you're looking live atgdto,? the senatr where ted cruz has been speaking for more than 16 hours. he's fighting obamacare and praising "duck dynasty." what's going to break -- we're going to break itkl?bfh> steve: meanwhile, a doctor diagnosed with breast cancer beats the odds and survives. but if obamacare were in place right now, herko story mighthcs different. that doctor here to explain how the health care law could beçó hurting;l= >> brian: and get this, coaches of a youth football team now facing hefty fines if they win by too many points.

is this fair or are we all with bunch of whosies? we want your tweets and e-mails and we don't want you to feel bad. "fox & friends" starts right now . 7 >> brian: we are up e it's the second hour of the show. you should not be surprised. ted cruz, we'll be watching him on the floor. we'll be talking to marco rubio in this show, all offwk@d>" theo talk about presidential contenders. >> steve: let's go outside. >> brian: curt bush. >> steve: what exactly is there a gigantic wonder bread balloon out there on our plaza -- >> thew/t >> steve: that's what i thought! >> brian: we know what it is. this is a tribute to rickey bobby in talladega nights. >> steve: there is his car! >> brian: and curt bush

to be here dressed in a suit. it's a tribute to understanding the talladega speedway by watching the movie. not past races. and the wonder bread car. >> steve: i got to go to denver mattress next time i need a mattress. >> brian: right. because it's so close. >> steve: who needs a mattress? probably ted cruz. >> elisabeth: he will after today. officially it's an all nighter that's been going on. he has been attempt to go filibuster. until noon he has to stop. >> steve: we call it an all nigcl]záv because according toe u.s. capitol historian, anything that goes past 4:00 a.m. is considered an all nighter. it is now 7:02 eastern time. he'll probably go 'til noon. clearly what they'veaéiú been d, with the help of rand paul and marco rubio and senator lee is they've been telling america the dangers of obamacare and they really would like to defund it and derail it. >> brian: you think so? >> steve: it's been wide ranging.

he has talked tonight over the night about how his dad used to make green eggs and ham, he quoted ashton kucher from an awards show and i think he might be just a little bit hungry because he talked aboutñ> brian: he's trying not to eat on camera. here is a little bit of the last 16 hours that elisabeth edited together. >> i'm reading tweets that concern the hash tag defund obamacare because it's just another way to gain control over people. defund obamacare because i don't want the government dictating my health care. because i don't trust the government to run my health care. because it was sold to us on lies. you can keep your insurance? no. my coverage reduced to nearly nothing. premiums the same. green eggs and ham was my favorite book when i was a little boy. so he would make me green eggs and ham. the food coloring is a little bit cheating.

if you take something like spinach and mix it into the eggs, the eggs turn green. i and i believe i can speak for you and congressmen, and others of us are very, very proud whacko birds. >> red neck rule number one, most things can be fixed with duct tape, extension cords. it's now late at night. i'm going to venture to say most members of the united states senate are home in bed asleep while america lives the nightmare. >> elisabeth: people may debate whether the strategy of doing this is brilliant or not. but i think the two moves he made on the every man hash tag defund obamacare brought americans on the floor with him and reading the bedtime story to his daughters i thought was great! h a dad like everybody else. >> steve: look at that, they were actually watching him. >> brian: kids love c-span. we all know that.

>> steve: there is daddy. >> elisabeth: if you think about green eggs and ham, it's kind of about somebody trying to force feed you something you don't want in the hopes you'll like it at the end. >> brian: i never got through it. we started to read it. >> elisabeth: it's]÷km he could have read anything. he read that and there is a reason for that. >> brian: we know he'll stop speaking at noon and breaks senator rand paul's record. >> steve: this isn't technically a filibuster because there is an out time. harry reid, they made it clear, we're gog have a vote on the house bill that passed last week around noon. it does look like what ted cruz is doing right now will not get the votes to pass. so some people are going, why are you doing this? >> brian: the max he could get is 47. >> steve: you're going to screw things up for us. we're going to lose the next election, stuff like that. but a lot of other people look at him and they say look, that's a man of principle. that's a patriot. he's doing what he can to derail something that he deeply

believes is harmful to the country. >> brian: and the pushback is, obamacare is about to be -- is coming to a country near you and so far indications are it's going to be a disaster. it's ill-planned, not workable. it's not implementable, and we're having problems right now in almost every state. the most willing states setting up these exchanges, a lot of companies are saying it doesn't pay for me to do it, we're throwing you out. here is some money, get your own insurance. a lot of companies say i'm not doing exchanges. we have to provide for our shareholders and workers. it doesn't make sense for us. so everyone is reacting to this program and it seems as though there has been already 19xa#$c waivers, more could be coming. they keep waiving the revenue portion of obamacare. where are we getting the extra money to service the estimated 30 million who don't have insurance? so now as charles krauthammer said and i tend to agree, this thin d would fall under its own weight. why are you trying to save it and distract america from this

impending implosion? >> elisabeth: bring someone else into the blame game because if it fails on its own, it has the brand name of obama onçó it. otherwise republicans are involved and strategically then, if there is a government shut down, they're holding the bag, too, right? >> brian: they're saying now -- the president is saying, it would be a lot smoother if republicans weren't trying to stop it every day. so already the president is pointing the finger when things aren't going smooth. >> steve: although i think the republicans would say, we passed this and nobody had read it and now we're finding out every day there is stuff in it. that's one of the reasons you've got democrats who don't like it. you've got unions that are squarely against it. and it does look like it's just it's a train.ém1t another u.s. senator, he's a democrat%gi from connecticut, ds not like what ted cruz is doing. in fact, he's whining, called

the whinebulance, chris murphy, freshman, said walking -- he tweeted this, walking in the capitol to take 11-1 shift presiding over the senate for this pointless fairy tale nonfilibuster. >> brian: that's connecticut. connecticut expert elisabeth hasselbeck joins usm rél÷ now. your reaction? >> elisabeth: we actually asked you what you thought the. you sent tweets and e-mails. karen porter said ted cruz is standing and fighting for what is right. same, the u.s. wouldn't be in bad shape. >> steve: louise king tweets, he is doing what he told his constituents he would do. i certainly admire that. he is attempting to change dc. >> brian: all right.]g;rywc effective if the speakers were actually reading what is in the bill line by line and expose the truth. time is running[ it is almost incomprehensible. break it out.

it is impossible to read this bill. it's now a law. >> elisabeth: they could have set it to music. however we can get it out there so everyone can know what's in it. that would have been a good use of time. >> steve: it does come down to october 1 when it kicks in and the government could shut down because ted cruz is doing his faux filibuster right now where he is debating that it's a bad idea. apparently there is a back up plan. that is the house may vote on delaying by one year the individual mandate. remember, the administration just kind of decided we're going to change the rules and we're going to say businessesaá]? have to implement it for one year, which is clearly not legal, but they're doing it none the less. so apparently boehner is suggesting his people that they would go ahead and try to delay the individual mandate by just one year. prompt a government shut down because the democrats, they're

not going to go along with that. >> brian: there is no time left. there is no time left to toss over to heather. without further ado, heather. >> got other headlines now. in a few hours from now, secretary of state john kerry is expected to sign a new international arms trade treaty. this treaty is designed to stop the flow of weapons to countries such aolate human rights. bad thing. but gun supporters are opposing part of it because listen to this, it requires the united states government to adopt a new civilian gun tracking system and that could side step the second amendment. we'll keep watching that for you. the house of representatives bipartisan move to pass a measure to protect christians overseas who are being targeted in the middle east. the bill creates a special envoy within the state department who would travel overseas to defend religious minorities. of course, last week two suicide bombers attacked the)q9 all saints church in pakistan leaving 85 people dead. christians were also targeted in

that mall massacre in kenya. it is game over for an auburn university lacrosseq1upj. he tried to bring grand theft auto to the streets of louisiana. he told cops in baton rouge that he wanted to act out the popular video game. so what did he do? he stole a car with a woman inside it. he sped off..b,/ he hit several parked cars along the way and then the woman was finally able to escape. no one suffered serious injuries. talk about a wild thing. look at this.k'p >> did you see that? >> that is patrick the gorilla. he was just kicked out of the dallas zoo. the reason why? he's a sexist. yeah. he apparently fights and sneers at the female gorillas and as you can seep there, he doesn't really like kids pestering him. patrick was raised by humans and experts say that could explain his behavior. he's now in a zoo in south

carolina. they have therapy for gorillas. therapy! >> steve: apes of wrath. >> who knew, right? >> steve: thank you for that. >> bizarre. reform school, therapy, you know. all=d1dqéy if kinds of stuff. very politically correct. >> elisabeth: next up, breast cancer is in remission in her life, but a doctor now says obamacare, if it was in place when she was diagnosed, her story might have been completely different. we'll hear from her next. >> steve: then it's an excuse teachers haven't heard before. students missing school because pigs are terrorizing the neighborhood. >> brian: put that in a note ♪ ho ho ho

>> elisabeth: all week long we are bringing you the latest on the devastating effects of obamacare. today we have a special guest with us here. she is actually -- her breast fantastic newsm/uçíqcíg3f=? but you say if you were diagnosed a year from now, your story might be different based on the care that is going to be provided by obamacare. correct? >> they really will. obamacare takes a disproportionate hit on cancer patients. if you look at breast cancer, one out of eight women diagnosed with it in our lifetime, but we have the longest survival rates and the earliest diagnosis rates because of mammogram.kv jy$(j; obamacare has panels and task forces which have changed the very recommendations. >> elisabeth: this is a scary part. we're going to look what's happening with mammograms and the changes that will take place. we have a family of breast

cancer. every woman in my family had it. it's probably going to come my way. so i'm a little heated about this. talk about the changes, the restrictions now. >> traditionally, the american cancer societyñr says standard f care is have a mammogram every year at age 40. this task force came inw3 withot a specialist on it don't start until age 50 and every other year until 74 and then stop. what's really surprising is that a study recently showed that these younger women have a higher death rate. these are young women/kx(q:7w e kids at home, they're active professionally. and particularly african-american women are the most commonly hit in this young age group. they're more likely to die of breast cancer. and now we have recommendations not even to get the mammograms when we know that delays your diagnosis increases your chances of dying from cancer. >> elisabeth: absolutely. we hear early diagnosis saves lives. find it early, live longer. >> exactly. >> elisabeth: we're talking about restriction on the%1ky! mammograms, screenings end at age 74? you're 75 years old, even if

you've had a history? how can this be? >> what does that tell you? they don't even want to know because i guess they don't want to spend the money to treat you. so we're going to see our mothers and grandmothers showinp up with late stage disease. if youh?ñnéom diagnose it earlr chances of having breast bearing procedures are far greater. >> elisabeth: exactly. then metastasizing and going into other areas of the body. doctor shortage. >> obamacaretis based on perverse incentives. there is a limited amount of money and the doctors and hospital are able to keep more of the money by withholdingx9pow care. what's really selective delays, particularly for cancer patients, are very ominous. they recently delayed the cap on so therapy agents, cancer drugs are very, very expensive. now there is no limit on the out of pocket expenses. >> elisabeth: the limitations in terms of the actual treatments and payments, i mean, this seems like an atrocity.

we have a doctor shortage coming ahead of us, right? >> yes. >> elisabeth: cancer treatment limitations and also did i hear correctly, there was no breast cancer specialist on the panel that made these recommendses? >> exactly. this is what is so sad. we're at a turning point in the time of cancer. we could have -- we're looking for a cure. instead of being able to go to the specialist that we want to go to, we're restrict to do a very limited number of doctors and hospitals and it becomes more about cost savings than life]m8!]$?]p6k savings. we also haveñi a problem with failing to be able to recruit the best and brightest into medicine that would come up with the cure. we're taxing innovation. we're delaying technology. we're giving money to hospitals' developers. all of these things would give those of us with cancer hope for an actual cure. instead of doing that, obamacare is limiting all the things that would lead us to go ahead and beat this disease that affects so many in our[%c÷>qpç countp

to play. i was that kid on the side who was waiting to have a beefy score so i could get in. >> steve: the league deputy commissioner, shear azfh  quon where they justify this rule. getting beaten, talking about the kids -- who wants to play anymore? i tell you, when i was a rec league soccer coach, in my town they have a rule that if you reason am the score as ac?l coh over 11, you get fined $75. >> brian: over 11 in soccer? i would think that's fine of the but in football, i would say when my son was playing football, if they had a kid who scored more than two touchdowns, he could not carry the ball anymore. i remember that. but i think just common sense, it sounds like this is a situation in that league that's out of control. but i agree, 35 points is enough to win. >> elisabeth: they had 30 violations. >]j7x is that woosification or good sportsmanship? >> elisabeth: i think we're forgetting good sportsmanship out there and that some of the

boundaries are okay, but the fines are getting more hefty. >> brian: like fining a >> elisabeth: exactly. the coaches are giving their time, so maybe they need to ease up on that fine. >> steve: what do you think? e-mail us or twitter us. >> elisabeth: that's right. coming up, do you love the smell of a newborn baby? turns out there is a scientific reason why it is as addictive as cocaine. that's what they're saying. >> steve: then she heard a strange vof@c6s in her baby's bedroom. turns out a complete stranger hacked into her baby monitor. how does that happen? could it happen to you? up. stick around. we'll be back we all like? ron: i'm sorry, who are you? jc: i'm your coworker! c'mon guys, i'm driving. hey, you guys comfortable? it's best-in-ass rear legroom. no way we'd fit this comfortably in your car, dan. ron: it's ron. jc: ron...

when you're 20 something that you're committed to the job. >> elisabeth: what elç >> so the next one isçó you reay need mentors. you need at least three professional mentors. some people don't quite get that. >> who do you look up to here at fox? >> brian kilmeade. >> okay. is there anybody else you lookul up to? >> brian: brian kilmeade. >> steve: you've only been here ten days. he could have mentioned you. [ laughter ] >> he/wneeds three besides himself. it's because you want to have a variety of people to look up to to kind of emulate, but you need people in your corner. these are the people you'll go to for advice, they'll guide you along, they'll tell you you're doing this wrong or right. but it's not your boss. a mentor is someone else. it could be someone outside of the company. but kids really need guidance. those mentors, i still have the same mentor that i've had since i was 23. really quick, i want to say,-úk.

>> elisabeth: good morning. today is wednesday, september 25. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. a fox news alert. senator ted cruz keeping his filibuster-like speech going for over 17 hours. with a little help from his friends. >> how are you doing? >> i thank the senator from kansas and i will tell you i am doing -- i'm fired, i'm motivated by the american people right now. >> elisabeth: cruz is fighting to defund obamacare. but will it work? senator marco rubio just left the senate floor, is on his way to join us here. >> steve: he's cruising over. brand-new video just in to "fox & friends" of a dramatic rescue underway. that is a baby who was being held hostage by terrorists until

a brave stranger stepped in. you're going to want to see this. >> brian: what happened when you hired to introduce you to bill clinton. but bill clinton is not there? what do you if you are bono, you pretend you're bill clinton. >> when i first met bono, he walked into the oval office and actually i thought it was a member of his own road crew. it wasn't really dressed right. >> brian: he lost his irish broke for a moment. and what happens when the real president finally arrives? was he angry? did he call the whole thing off? i bet you want to know. time for some animation and i'll tell you. >> you're watching "fox & friends" and my family is obsessed. so you should be, too. >> steve: really? by the way, brian just got a call from the emmy people. they said even though the award ceremony was sunday night,

they'd like to give you kind of a lifetime achievement award for -- >> brian: lifetime achievement? >> steve: appearing in the cheryl casone skit. >> brian: really? i would like to do it again. i would like to audition again to be in her next skit. >> elisabeth: sadly, we don't have time for your acceptance speech. >> brian: i have no time for my acceptance speech? >> elisabeth: no. we have another speech to discuss. >> steve: the longest speech we know of. >> elisabeth: you are looking live at the senate floor where senator ted cruz has been talking for more than 17 hours. it's not technically a filibuster, but it's getting a lot of attention to gain support for defunding obamacare. allegation pan has been watching us all -- elizabeth prann has been watching all morning. is he still going strong? >> he is. in case you might have been sleeping overnight, you missed senator ted cruz's marathon speech which began yesterday and continues now on the senate floor. it's a rally attempt from republicans to defund the sweeping health care law.

like i said, we're looking live. first it was six, ten, flirting with 17 hours as keeps his promise to opposing obamacare until, quote, i am no longer able to stand. he referenced both "duck dynasty," to dr. seuss, all to pass the time while going back to the original purpose. listen here. >> do you like green eggs and ham? i do not like them, sam i am. i do not like green eggs and ham. we don't want government bureaucrats to decide who gets what what and we don't want low quality health care, which is what happens at the end of this road if we stay going down it. >> like you said, we noticed this is from senator rand paul's old-fashioned filibuster. this is not technically a filibuster. this will not delay the inevitable scheduled vote with democrats. they will happen no matter what just hours from now. the senate is adjourning at noon. the scheduled vote at 1.

cruz has gotten help from some friends. he also swapped his cowboy boots for some black tennies. we got he's got good arch support. >> steve: thank you. and that is one of the suggestions that rand paul gave to senator cruz. he said, if you're going to do that, don't eat on television and two, wear comfortable shoes. he's not wearing his ostrich boots that they famously has worn every day as u.s. senator. there he is, interestingly enough, you know, we've heard over the last couple of days there are a lot of senior republicans on capitol hill. they really didn't want him to do this, but behind the scenes, he wanted this particular debate to stretch into the weekend. he said he would do everything in his human ability to drag out the vote. >> elisabeth: yeah. people are upset on one end. but on another, in theory he's doing what american people want. what corporations want.

they've out. you've got afl-cio complaining about obamacare. at some point, you do elect officials to get in there and be your voice and he's doing that, just strategically not sure that the end game will yield the results we need. >> brian: inside washington, they say on thursday mornings, the senators from the parties get together and talk about strategy, what's hot, what's not, their opinions. he hadn't shown up all summer and they tried to get together with him and said they understood about the grassroots campaign, but he didn't put the time in to get other republicans on his side. when they asked him what's the end game, they weren't convinced he had one. so he had a couple million people sign up on his web site, but would that be enough to change the budget and change the president's opinion, to force the p the to do something? the answer so far is no. so this is the end game. so a lot of people don't know what the end game is, but they have shown up to help out. we saw senator pat roberts, senator marco rubio, mike lee, senator dick durbin asking probing questions about the health care programs that they

actually do have on capitol hill. but in the end, is he becoming -- he's definitely becoming more famous. everyone will know who this rookie freshman senator is. but in the end, is this glazing over the fact that before ted cruz and company stood up and the house voted, we were talking about the disaster, which was obamacare. now we're just talking about what republicans are doing to stop obamacare. is that helping the president keep his program going? >> steve: it may be a lost cause, but a lot of people feel he's a patriot. just like jimmy stewart in the movie, he's standing up and saying what he believes in. interestingly enough, while he is there on the floor of the u.s. senate, here in new york city the president of the united states, whose health care plan is what we're talking about and what ted cruz has been eviscerating, the former resident of 1600 pennsylvania avenue, bill clinton, came in for his clinton global

initiative to help the president sell it. >> brian: they sat down and talked to each other in a friendly interview for an hour. >> elisabeth: it was like when you're watching those commercials late night. why do you need this spoon? you need this spoon because. do we need that much convincing? i'm not sure. the president is actually convinced that people are going to like it anyway. right? you heard this. >> part of what i think the resistance that we've seen ramp up particularly over the last couple months is all about is the opponents of health care reform know they're going to sign up. in fact, one of the major opponents, when asked, why is it that you potentially shut down the government at this point just to block obamacare, he basically fessed up. he said, well, once consumers get hooked on having health insurance and subsidies, then they won't want to give it up. >> steve: that got a laugh. he was quoting a republican. there are a lot of people and if you look on social media, you

see that the impact of the health care bill is affecting a lot of people. i just saw on i think laura ingraham's twitter feed where somebody wrote in and said, yeah, this is really working out for me. my health care insurance went from $125 a month to 500. which means i've got a lot less food to feed my kids. >> elisabeth: see, what you just did is again what, ted cruz did was brilliant. he's bringing this, what the people are feeling and thinking about this out in the open, which i think is fantastic! >> brian: i think president obama did quote accurately from this republican. i think he does quote accurately from many republicans because they feel as though people are used to getting something for free, if they're saying i'm showing up, i just sign up and i get it for free or the subsidies i'm paying, this is now coming to me, they're going to say i'm going to continue it. you don't want to be the politician that says i'm taking this away because we can't afford it anymore. those rich people are taking that horrible money they earned and being forced to tax or

26-year-olds are going to be paying for their own insurance while paying back their student loan, while trying to get their career together, while living in their parents' basement. they have to now buy insurance, not catastrophic insurance. so this whole system that will start churning is going to be untenable. nothing is for free except the people who get it for free. other people are working for them. >> steve: you know what? during the campaign what, did we hear from the romney people? it was like barak obama is going to get reelected by promising you a lot of free stuff. essentially that is what charles krauthammer observed last night on "special report". >> the classic liberal approach, which is to create subsidies, to create dependency and then you create constituencies. once you have that, you can't repeal them. i think obamacare is such a mess that it probably will not have that effect in the end 'cause it will affect so many people adversely that it will end up creating animosity against it.

there actually was one entitlement that passed in 1988 that was a catastrophic care bill attached to medicare which everybody assumed would be unrepealable. it was so unpopular, it was repealed the next year in 1989. so i think this will probably happen to obamacare. >> brian: it's called elections. as much as ted cruz is doing an incredible job with great endurance and he's a commercial with for five hour energy, in the end it's about election. if you want to change something, find a strategy, find a message that gets you in office, whether it's the house or the senate. >> elisabeth: sure. essentially create a product and a lot of people bought into it and now want to return it and can't. >> steve: i think what it comes down to is will the government run out of money and will the republicans get tagged with it in the next couple of days? >> elisabeth: right. >> steve: if they don't, the government doesn't run out of money, ted cruz would have done a 20-hour public service announcement for what is the matter with obamacare.

>> brian: let's go to woman who never runs out of money, heather nauert. >> i wish that were the case. good morning to you. we've got serious news and heart wrenching video. just in to our news room, a dramatic rescue at that mall in kenya. look right here. you can see a man crawl over to a woman who has two children who appear to be playing dead in order to avoid being killed there. you see the guy pick up the little girl and then the baby boy, right down at the bottom of your screen. all four of them were able to run to safety. that terrorist attack killed 67 people. thank goodness they got out alive. that terrorist attack in kenya had the house of representatives coming together in a rare bipartisan move to pass the measure to protect christians being targeted in the middle east. this bill creates a special envoy within the state department who would travel overseas to defend religious minorities. it is game over for an auburn university lacrosse player.

he tried to bring grand theft auto to the streets of louisiana he told cops in baton rouge that he wanted to act out the popular video game, so he stole a car with a lady inside. he sped off. he hit several parked cars along the way and then the woman was able to escape. no one was seriously hurt. it turns out that bono is a lot more than just a rock star. he's actually a pretty good comedian, too. take a look at what happened when president clinton was late getting to the stage at the clinton global initiative event. >> when i first met bono, he walked into the oval office and actually i thought it was a member of his own road crew. he wasn't really dressed right. actually i felt like the rock star on that occasion. >> i must be really easy to make fun of. >> elisabeth: good one, nice.

>> steve: talk slow. coming up, president obama puts the united nations on notice saying don't mess with the u.s. >> i believe america is exceptional, in part because we have shown a willingness through the sacrifice of blood and treasure to stand up not only for our own narrow self-interests, but for the interests of all. >> steve: so is the president's famous apology tour finally over? we're going to report and you will decide. >> elisabeth: that's right. then has fairness gone too far? high school coaches now facing fines for letting your teens run up the score. e-mail us ♪ ho ho ho [ female announcer ] at 100 calories, not all food choices add up. some are giant. some not so giant. when managing your weight, bigger is always better. ♪ ho ho ho ♪ green giant

>> some may disagree, but i believe america is exceptional. in part because we have shown a willingness through the sacrifice of blood and treasure, to stand up not only for our own narrow self-interests, but for the interests of all. >> steve: american exceptionalism, that was the major undertone of the president's speech to the united nations general assembly yesterday. does that mean his so-called, as has been oft reported, apology tour is over? joining us is fox news legal analyst, peter johnson, jr. >> credit to begin where credit is due and i said hip, hip huer ray for asserting american exceptionalism. we had talked about it on this set in terms of asserting that in terms of syria. he did it again, he slapped putin back in the face, which was needed. at the same time, he's wisened by his experience. he's angry the iranians snubbed him. he does not want to become the international door mat. he's basically saying to the

world, ala rand paul, other libertarians in this country, other people who don't want to engagement in every situation, hey, if you want the americans in, then treat the americans like they're part of the world community. don't tread on us. so there was some mixed messages in the speech, but in terms of american exceptionalism and saying we're going to walk away from you unless you be our friends, deal with the world yourself. >> steve: peter, on some of the right leaning blogs, i was reading some people said after the putin thing, they said, we never heard our president of the united states talk about american exceptionalism until putin brought it up. >> i think there has been a world experience that has matured this president. he realizes that all these folks are not our friends, that they don't act like our friends, and that we intend to be engaged. he was saying listen, we want to be engaged. we're for fairness. we're for human rights, but when we need to you step up, step up

and u.n., don't play games when you know that assad and syria are engaging in these kind of poison war tactics. don't say, we don't have the proof. >> steve: peter, a lot of people looking in and saw the president talk tough yesterday might say, you know, the guy who was there yesterday is not the guy who was standing this a couple years ago. >> i couldn't agree more. this is absolutely transformational and especially compared to last year. remember last year he talked about benghazi and ambassador stevens and blamed it on a video? we've come a long way. he's come a long way. he's got a long way to go, but i think it was a big improvement for him and for america yesterday. we are exceptional and hear our president say it and this president say it was great. i love that. >> steve: peter johnson, jr. giving credit where credit is due. >> good to see you. >> steve: thank you. all right. coming up next, senator marco rubio just joined senator ted cruz. will anything come out of this or is it just political theater?

we're going to talk to mr. marco rubio coming up next. and do you love the smell of a newborn baby? who doesn't? there is a scientific reason why and it's as addictive as cocaine? that story is coming up right after they change the baby.

>> elisabeth: welcome back. time for quick headlines. stationerring new study says caffeine may be slowing down your teen-ager's development. researchers gave rats three to four cups of coffee a day. their brain development slowed considerably. this is especially alarming because caffeine used in teens is up more than 70%.

a new study explains why babies smell so good. researchers say the scent of a newborn taps into the pleasure centers of a mom's brain. true. i can say that. which reacts just like an addict's brain to drugs. >> brian: 23 minutes after the hour. texas senator ted cruz heading into his 18th hour on the senate floor. by the way, you're looking at rand paul live asking a question to ted cruz. as he fights for a debate on the house bill that will defund obamacare. senator doesn't want to pass it. >> steve: but he was not alone in his efforts. in addition to senator rand paul right there, cruz got a little help from his friends. >> we can't be exceptional without the american dream and that's what's being undermined by big government and by obamacare. that at the end of the day is why we're so passionate about this. that's why this is an issue worth fighting for. >> steve: all right. there he was last night. there he is this morning live

from washington, d.c florida senator marco rubio. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning. i better stop drinking coffee after that report about the rats. >> steve: no kidding. >> brian: you're not a teen-ager anymore, so you're okay. >> that's true. >> steve: let me ask you this, we've been noticing over the last couple of days, it's a big number of republican senators who did not want ted cruz to do this. why? >> can i just start by welcoming elisabeth? it's great to have her in the mornings. >> elisabeth: now that's a filibuster right there. >> steve: that was a filibuster. >> i think you're in a better place, let's put it that way. anyway, so just to go back for a second on your question, look, i think it's important to understand that all republicans are united, all on the notion that obamacare is bad and needs to be repealed. there isn't a single u.s. senator that does not believe that. i think the debate is about the right tactics how to approach this. their concerns are that this somehow would set us back in

this effort. i passion athlete believe i have to be able to go back home and tell people that i did everything i could to stop obamacare because it's going to hurt people very badly. and that includes taking this as far as we can and that's what we're hoping to do. the other is i think it's important that we create awareness. these issues have a tendency to get lost in the narrative of the day. i don't think enough people understand that this thing is right around the corner and the impact it's going to have on their lives. i think as this issue goes on on the floor and the days to come, we're going to make a growing number of americans aware of how damaging obamacare is to the people who are trying to make it, for the people working hard to achieve a better life. >> elisabeth: senator, you posted your full speech that you gave there on twitter. i retweeted that moments ago. are you prepared to go down with the ship if indeed it does turn into a blame game with republicans, your name certainly, ted cruz's name will be the front runners in terms of fault here. >> fault for what? number one -- >> steve: government shut down. >> that's a false choice. that's basically what the president and harry reid are

basically saying is unless you fund obamacare, we're prepared to shut the entire government down. now, we had government funding before obamacare. we can have government funding without obamacare. what they're basically saying is if we pass a bill that does not fund obamacare, the president will veto it. he will shut down the government over his pet project. that is wrong. people need to be aware of that. the other thing is the president in his own way is defunding elements of obamacare already. he's trying to -- he's already slowed down the implementation of the employer mandate, trying to issue all kinds of waivers to exempt people from this, including members of congress. so this notion that somehow to not fund obamacare means we have to shut down the government, that's all up to the president and the democrats and the president. they decided to make that the choice. >> elisabeth: well said. >> brian: just on steve's question, are you against what ted cruz is doing? >> no. >> brian: do you feel this is hurting you? >> no, hurting the party? >> brian: hurting the party. >> let me say this, we are now have the ability to spend over

the last 18 hours that ted has done and those that tried to help him to inform the american public about the reality of obamacare is going to mean to their lives. how can that be a negative? there is a growing number of americans become aware of how damaging this bill is going to be to their lives and our economy, i think that can only be benefit us and the country. so i don't see the down side to spending the time educating the american people about how dangerous this is. when you're in the minority, as we are in the senate, that's one of the opportunities we have to do that. >> brian: what is the end game, senator? >> i mean, my hope would be that the end game -- >> brian: what do you think it is? >> right now it looks like the democrats have stubbornly dug in and saying the only bill they will pass out of here is one that funds the government, but only if it funds obamacare. they won the election, so they have the majority. so ultimately that may be the direction that we're headed. but if it is, the american people will know, people will be on record. we are hours away from senators having to record their vote and there are democrats who come from states where people are going to be badly hurt by

obamacare and they're going to have to explain to people why they're wasting taxpayer money on such a damaging program for the country. >> steve: i tell you what, i'm looking at twitter and the "fox & friends" e-mail and there are a lot of people who feel that it may be a lost cause, maybe the numbers aren't there in the final vote tally, but they do admire ted cruz for standing up, being a patriot and doing what he could do and obviously that's why your name and some of your time to try to help him block this whole thing that's going on right there. >> elisabeth: they're thankful that you're fighting the good fight, senator. >> well, the bottom line is that we're not just -- we're here to try to make a difference and sometimes the difference begins by communicating to our people. the good news is we have more ways to communicate with everyday americans than ever before. i think americans are more aware this morning than they were last night of why obamacare is so bad for the country. >> brian: what about the fact that this thing, with all the waivers and all the problems with it, it's unimplementable in most states that you have now taken the narrative away from the disaster which seems to be

this law and now put it on yourselves as obstructionists, allowing yourselves to fall on the grenade that was about to explode? >> that's impossible because do you think someone who is about to get moved from full time to part-time will somehow be confused about the narrative? do you think someone is going to lose existing health care coverage and relationship with their doctor will be confused about the narrative? >> brian: this doesn't do anything either. >> but first of all, what's happening now is a growing awareness around this country that obamacare is not what it was sold as. this is not free and cheap insurance for everyone who wants it. this is hurting people who are trying to make it. here is the one more point that i think is becoming apparent to people, and this is true of big government which obamacare is a part of. the people who have made it, really rich people, they can deal with this stuff. they don't like it, but they can deal with it. you know when is not going to be able to deal with the implications of obamacare? the people trying to make it. the people who can't hire lobbyists and get an exemption or waiver. they'll pay the price and people are more aware of it this morning than they were last

night of that reality. i think that's only going to increase in the hours and days to come. ultimately, i think that will lead, whether it's next week, next month or next year, that will lead to the repeal of this terrible, terrible law. >> steve: you're right, people got an earful and are getting an earful about obamacare and what it's going to do to the country. senator marco rubio, thank you very much for joining us live. we're going to say good-bye unless you have more personal messages for elisabeth. >> great to have her on tv here at fox. >> elisabeth: thank you. >> brian: still ahead on our show, if elisabeth says it's okay, they fight and die for our country. how is this for respect? odd football player out of the league describing american soldiers as robots trained to kill. we're reading your tweets and e-mails on that. >> steve: she didn't read the health care bill and now nancy pelosi just got busted not knowing what's in that pesky u.s. constitution. oh, oh

then a few hours from now, secretary of state john kerry is expected to sign a new international arms trade treaty. this is designed to stop the flow of weapons to countries that violate human rights. gun rights supporters oppose it because it requires the united states government to adopt a new civilian gun tracking system. and that could side step the second amendment. lot of folks will be talking about that one. and she didn't read the heal care bill and now nancy pelosi is getting hot not knowing what's in the u.s. constitution? her comments all caught on tape. look at this. >> to paraphrase what our founders said in the constitution of the united states, they said that -- that the truths that are self-evident that every man and woman, that men and women were created equal. >> well, she thought she was quoting the u.s. constitution, but she was citing the declaration of independence instead. she says she merely lost her place in the speech.

and pro-gun rights advocates in michigan never saw this coming. when somebody called the cops to complain about their road side demonstration, the responding officer refused to send them home. look at this. >> not people exercising their constitutional rights. >> they started recording that encounter when the officer showed up, never expecting that he would actually join their cause. lot of people think that they might be against it. that's it. >> steve: all right. thank you very much. >> elisabeth: now we have maria with some weather. >> good morning. hello, everyone. today we're tracking a boundary across parts of florida. this storm system has been bringing in a lot of heavy rain out here. we're talking locally more than six inches of rain in some spots. so flooding is a concern. more showers and storms in the forecast for today. we have a number of warnings and watches in effect across parts of fort myers. up into pampa and into daytona beach. you'll need the umbrella

they're moving them over to one. >> steve: it's a little personal because brian has been a coach in his town for years and he essentially has moved young players -- groomed young players to be on his team. >> brian: steve, we're still on. -- >> elisabeth: i heard you're a good coach. coming up, suzanne summers, she's here and that's coming up. she's always had a playful side.

program is not aimed at building bombs. yesterday rouhani continued to insist that iran is not a threat. members of congress are skeptical. republican senators mccain, graham and ayotte said in a written statement, quote, we must not allow iran to use negotiations as a tool of delay and deception. still no concrete agreements are expected at thursday's foreign ministers' meeting. guys, back to you. >> steve: all right. thank you very much from the white house. >> brian: there is going to be i'm sure more interest in this during the week, especially on thursday when they get together. up next, suzanne somers is here, she's back. she always looks great. today she's sharing more secrets if you promise not it tell anyone and buy her book. >> elisabeth: first we'll check in with martha mccam lum for what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> good morning, everybody. ted cruz is still talking. so what is this really all about and how will it affect the next election? that might be the biggest question of all. senator mike lee on that. and the global war against

perimenopause? >> it's the ten years before you go into menopause and women would say to me, i'm not sleeping very well. well, it's probable will he your hormones. no, i'm too young for that. i don't know why. i'm so irritated all the time. it's probably your hormones. with stress and toxicity, it's blunting hormone production in all of us earlier than ever before and it's accelerating aging and this book will tell you how to put yourself back together again. >> elisabeth: right. so you talk about, you're a champion of the hormone replacement, which is different than synthetic? >> absolutely different. >> elisabeth: sometimes people get scared when it comes to the synthetics. >> they should be afraid of the synthetics. to clear that up in this book, i put a whole section on the safety and efficacy of natural hormones and a whole section on why synthetic hormones are so dangerous. there is a 69% increase risk of getting breast cancer if you take synthetic hormones. that's an absolute fact by the

study on 80,000 women. and then they did a study, the american cancer society on women on bioidentical hormones that i take. 41% decrease risk of getting breast cancer. it's biology. the brain recognizes a reproductive person as valuable. men, they do movies called grumpy old men? >> brian: they make money? >> men lose their hormones and you can put yourself back together. my husband has been on hormones now for about 20 years. it changes your life. >> brian: remember on dennis the menace, the neighbor was always cranky. >> remember you were too young, but there was a series called "hazel." she was in menopause. women get scatter brained when they're not on hormones. >> brian: is that the last episode? i never saw the finale? >> steve: but there is something people can do? >> yes. you can -- >> brian: buy her book. >> yeah, you can buy my book.
