10:00 am
i urge you to watch it. before we go, i want to say good-bye to our senior producer lexie stemple who is leaving us for new adventures. we will miss you. thanks for making this a great show. all the best. hello, i'm kelly wright. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's news headquarters. topping the news this hour, two americans infected with the ebola virus are going to be treated for the first time here in the united states. and one of them just arrived. we covered it for you here on fox. also, new fallout for cia drejtor john brennan after he acknowledges the agency spied on senate staffers. plus, new violence in the gaza strip as a search is under way for an israeli soldier believed to be captured by hamas. we begin today with new developments in the crisis at our nation's southern border.
10:01 am
house lawmakers taking action and president obama vowing to act alone as thousands of children are pouring into the country without their parents and with no place to go. house lawmakers approving investigation late yesterday. but critics and senate lawmakers say it has no chance of ever becoming law. molly heninberg is live from washington with the rest of the story. >> hello, democrats don't like the legislation, but republicans say they did their job. they stayed on the job 0 an extra day, even as the senate left town for the august recess, in order to finish an immigration bill which pretty much passed along party lines. it's a $694 million border bill that boosts security and adds immigration judges and detention facilities. a companion bill also ends a 2012 program by the president that grants work permits to immigrants who were brought here illegally as children. republicans say the president should urge the senate to come back to town to vote on it.
10:02 am
>> for all the rhetoric from the president, the reality is house republicans are acting. we're working to fund this. we're empowering the national guard, $70 million, half of that money going down to the actual states. we're funding this so that they can detain these people, reunite them with their families and put them back in their own country where they've come from. >> the obama administration says the legislation could result in the deportation of hundreds of thousands of people who 0 were brought to the country as children and are, quote, americans in every way but on paper. the president's spokesman dismissed the house's legislation as, quote, partisan legislation that will not address the problem and is sure to be rejected by the senate. as the president said today, meaning yesterday, the administration will continue to manage the border as responsibly as possible and address our broken immigration system. but no administrative action is a substitute for congressional action. the president has said he will are have to, quote, act alone on
10:03 am
immigration. the bhiwhite house says a team reviewing the president's option and he may grant more work permits to those here illegally. republicans are warning the president not to act apart from congress. jowly and kelly? >> thank you so much, molly. kelly? a fox news alert. fox news confirming that one of the two americans infected with the ebola virus dr. kent brantley has arrived in atlanta from africa for treatment. the second american stricken with the deadly disease will leave liberia in the coming days. both will be treated at one of the most sophisticated hospital isolation units in the country. adam housley has the latest from los angeles. adam? >> reporter: kelly, in fact, dr. kent brantley arrived at that facility about a half hour ago. we're getting a statement, too. we'll show you a picture of dr. brantly.
10:04 am
he has done great work in africa, also south america, trying to help some with diseases. he was trying to stop the ebola outbreak. we got a statement from the jps health network saying they're delighted and relieved that kent is back in the u.s. we are grateful for the courage and stamina for the team who went to get him, the staff at emery who will care for him. we remain deeply concerned for his health, the health of nanny ripe elle as she awaits her turn to come home. and for those aren't able to receive the best care. that coming from the jps network as the doctor arrives in atlanta. we have a look at the plane landing at the air force base in georgia earlier today. it was a gulf stream jet, private jet, especially outfitted with a tent inside where the doctor was kept throughout the flight from west africa, stopping in bangor, maine, to refuel for about an hour before arriving at dobbins air force base. you see it taxiing there.
10:05 am
once the plane was over to the one side, a especially outfitted ambulance came and picked him up. it's only 15 miles or so from dobbins air force base to the hospital, a special unit set up for this. you can see the motorcade there that made its way down i-85, up i-85, will eventually get off the freeway and over to the emory university hospital where it drove past the main facility to where this facility is located on that it campus that was helped set up by the center for disease control, just down the street from the cdc. when we were watching this live on fox, at first we thought it was a secondary worker coming out in a hazmat suit. now we've learn td was the doctor himself. as you can see, being helped, the back door gets closed to the ambulance and he is led to a side entrance here at the emory university facility. dr. marc siegel who works for the team, he says if that is the case, if it that is the doctor walking right there, it is a miraculous maneuver for him to be doing that.
10:06 am
take a listen to what we heard from earlier today from emory university hospital. >> we have an inordinate amount of safety associated with the care of this patient, and we do not believe that any health care worker, any other patients or any visitor to our facility is in any way at risk of acquiring this infection. >> while ebola is one of the world's most deadly disease it's not airborne. it has to be passed through bodily fluids. you can see the precautions being taken there as he was led into the hospital. also, something important to note as well, that facility, emory university where he's being treated and where nancy will be treated as well is separate from the campus and has their own in-house lab. if there are samples that need to be taken, it's awful contained in that one facility. we're told there's only four facilities in the country that can even do this. kelly? >> adam, great report. as you mentioned, as well as our own dr. siegel mentioned, the
10:07 am
fact we could see dr. brantly walking is a miracle in and of itself. of course, the doctor representing americans first there in liberia, being stricken by the ebola virus. praying for him and wishing him well. as we follow up on this, in the midst of this ebola outbreak, let's look at facts about the deadly virus, now the largest in history. it has infected 1,300 people and killed more than 700 this year. the fatal iterate i90%. so far there is no treatment. the ebola virus can look like other diseases with symptoms such as fever, headache, ache internal external bleeding and ebola only spreads through bodily fluids. for more on this deadly virus, cdc director tom frieden will be on fox news sunday. check your local listings for this can't-miss interview. now to the middle east where israeli prime minister is set to make a major announcement just
10:08 am
over an hour, amid speculation that the conflict in gaza may be coming to an end. this just hours after israel unleashed dozens of new air striekz. the violence escalating as you can hear after the alleged kidnapping of an israeli soldier. but we are now hearing that israel is pulling of some of its forces back to the border. john how' huddy is there report live. john, any truth to these reports? >> reporter: julie and kelly, we're hearing those reports as well. as you mentioned, israeli's prime minister will be joined by israel's defense minister when they talk tonight. we're not getting the detail it's, but, again, what we are hearing, as you mentioned, is that forces are starting to pull back from central parts of central and northern gaza. we've also heard that the israeli military has started
10:09 am
telling palestinians they can start returning to their homes in some of those areas. this as the operation has continued, though, rooting out and destroying hamas' infrastructure and network of those cross-border tunnels. and of course after several cease-fires fell apart, now the search also continues for that missing israeli soldier, second lieutenant hadarr godean. we haven't seen any massive mobilization of troops. there have been some outgoing artillery fire like that, possibly a mortar fire towards the gaza border, but it hasn't been anything like the past 3 1/2 weeks, the extensive fight, the extensive fighting, air strikes, artillery fire of the past 3 1/2 weeks of operation protective edge. we did see some explosions in the distance earlier, presumably, again, these cross-border tunnels being blown up, being detonated. but we are awaiting finding out what israel's prime minister and
10:10 am
defense minister will be saying, as you mentioned, as we're hearing that ground forces are starting to pull back from central and northern gaza and as the israeli army are telling folks they can start returning to their homes. so really at this point, kelly and julie, just waiting to see how this all develops. back to you. >> john huddy, thank you so much. stay safe. kelly? julie, also in the mideast, the syrian civil war once again spilling over into lebanon. syrian gunman are raiding a border town and taking several soldiers and police officers from their homes. a lebanese army general says the attack came just hours after troops arrested a member of an al qaeda-linked group based in syria. the lebanese town is home to tens of thousands of syrian refugees. oregon investigators are calling off are rescue efforts for a missing mother of two. but jennifer huston's family isn't giving up. the 38-year-old vanished last
10:11 am
month. police 0 are still taking tips. her husband says he is still searching for her. >> we get lots of reports of people finding jennifer or so they say, lots of tips and leads. but the fact that we haven't found her car yet is odd. >> jennifer husten was last seen at a rite aid picking up gatora gatorade, trail mix and sleeping pills. well, now for a quick check of the weather, things are cloudy in new york city as the east coast braces for what looks to be a soggy weekend. heavy rainfall expected in some spots, especially the carolinas and a number of flash flood watches are in effect out west, including huge chunks of arizona and nevada. meanwhile, tropical storm bertha is approaching puerto rico and the u.s. virgin islands. it's expected to unleash strong winds and heavy rains there before moving back out into the atlantic early next week. well, a new push by republicans to win over
10:12 am
minorities, how the gop is now working to better compete for their votes in the next are presidential election. >> >> it's not just for kids. we're talking about summer camp. plus, cia director john brennan on the hot seat after agency employees hack into the computers of senate staffers. >> this is, to me, the utmost seriousnesses. what did the director of the cia know, and when did he know it? and what action did he take, if he knew about it? and if he didn't know about it, why in the world didn't he know? your sacrifice and thank you for your bravery. thank you colonel. thank you daddy. military families are uniquely thankful for many things, the legacy of usaa auto insurance can be one of them. if you're a current or former military member or their family, get an auto insurance quote
10:13 am
and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life.
10:14 am
10:15 am
10:16 am
time for a quick check of the headlines now. thousands in paris protesting against israel 0's attack on gaza. the french government allowed the protest going forward. france has both the largest jewish and muslim populations in western europe. a maszive explosion in eastern china, officials say the blast killed at least 68 people and jour injured 200 others. the cause of the explosion is under investigation. and a landslide killing at least eight people in northern nepal. officials say the landslide has
10:17 am
blocked a river, raising concerns the water could flood several villages. the death toll is expected to rise as rescue crews reach many of the buried homes. the republican party is working to better compete for minority voters, specifically african-americans and hiss spanish parishes adds it eyes the 2016 race. reince priebus says he's confident that the party will take back the senate from democrat control in this year's midterm elections. >> i think a lot of people, including the leadership of civil rights organizations, have said, look at the way georgia's done it. there was -- the key there was communication, access, and in fact voting went up in georgia, and it went up in north carolina. in fact, it went up everywhere. >> joining me now, fox news
10:18 am
political analyst angela mcglowan and -- reince priebus, chairman of the rnc was speaking to myself and mckaley pereira. needless to say we were at the nabj and discussing what the are republican party has to do. angela, what do you think the republican party has to do to reach out to all people, not just african-americans? >> not just african-americans, hiss packs but also women. instead of the republican party just going to places where we congregate, they need 0 to go to those diversity districts where we actually have our life, where we live. go to the barrios, go to the inner city community center cen also churches and talk about what the party will do to create a more prosperous america and better america for us. it takes not only grass tops outreach but grass roots and i agree 0 with the chairman, also messaging. >> chuck, what about you?
10:19 am
what's the messaging has the gop lost its messaging with the african-american community and other people of color, comparing it to the democratic party? >> well, there's a reason why 92% of african-americans voted for barack obama and 76% of h s hispan hispanics. it's smart for the republicans to figure out 0 what's going on or they'll never win a nationwide election as the minority population grows. the problem is their mroot form and policies. you've got to have something that you can run on. last night the house voted to send children back to central america and brown people like me who vote here in this country see that as those children look a lot like my children. that's not 0 the right messaging. >> kelly, i have to add, though, but in the black and hispanic community, there's a lot of rift, there are a lot of blacks chuck that did don't have jobs and illegal aliens are taking the jobs. i wouldn't say it's the party platform if you are the message.
10:20 am
in 2004 bush ran on the right to life, the sanctity of marriage. that is part of our platform and blacks came out and voted conscience, not color. it's also kelly the message and reaching out, but i wouldn't use immigration as the inner in the black community. >> i want to point something else out as we were speaking with reince priebus there at the nabj. he also talked about himself for the first time that i can recall. in fact, he even acknowledged this is the first time he ever spoke about his own narrative. let's listen to what he had to say and if this is something the republican leaders should start doing. >> my mother was born in sedan. for 20 years she lived there. my dad was a union electrician, my mom was a seamstress. i clerked at the -- in los angeles. i don't think anyone's ever heard me say that one time i. don't talk about it. i don't try to use it as some sort of methods to endear myself. but i say it only because i
10:21 am
think all of us have a story to tell about where we come from and how we got there. >> all right, he says all of us have a story to tell. but who knew that the chairman of the rnc had at one time clerked as an attorney at the naacp. chuck, does that surprise you? >> it doesn't surprise me. i think there needs to be a lot more story telling but i think it goes back to the policy and platform and what you run on. there's votes. there's reasons why we have votes. there's a reason why george bush got less than 10% of the african-american vote. we can talk and take out 0 all the numbers want, do you put lipstick on a pig? it's still a pick. >> excuse me, chuck, he won. >> you don't want to understand the facts of the day. >> he won! i do understand the facts. >> if you are sending children to certain death, that's what's going to happen. >> may i speak? bush won four more years by -- >> you don't have to ask me to speak. you can speak anytime.
10:22 am
>> can we have a time-out? >> i have to make this point, deli. >> let's be a gentleman and a lady. >> i'm very much a lady. bush got 16% of the black vote in ohio, which gave him four more years. again, it was the right to life and sanctity of marriage and the fact that chairman ken melman and karl rove ran on black radio stations and pushed faith based initiatives. this race is not just about immigration and brown pex, chop. it's about people are losing their jobs and homes and cars. i will be quiet and listen. >> that's exactly what the chairman was talking about, it's about jobs and get being people back to work. real quickly, representative debby wasserman schultz also spoke to the group via skype because she was voting there on the house. but she says, quote, race is all across the country is going to turn on whether we can get particularly our base vote out to vote. chuck, i'll leave that with you. can democrats get their base vote to turn out? >> whether you're black, brown
10:23 am
or white or yellow, people are are sick and tired of being sick and tired. they don't think these people on capitol hill are doing anything that directly affects their lives and they don't know who to trust. they're mad because we're deporting children, but they're also mad at the president because he's been deporting. they're mad because nobody will raise the minimum wage. there's lots of blame to go around. if you can't relate with that person sitting home watching tv right now, you'll never get their vote. >> chuck roach cha, angela mcglowan, thank you. >> thank you. a major announcement expected from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu within the hour on the crisis in gaza. we'll bring it to you live. and are cia director john brennan under fire after acknowledging his agency spied on senate staffers. what the fallout could be for the head of the central intelligence agency. and how the late james brown 0's daughter is carrying on his father's legacy. ugh. heartburn.
10:24 am
10:25 am
did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm. amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief.
10:26 am
10:27 am
10:28 am
welcome 0 back. new fallout for cia director john brennan after he apologized to senators briefed on the report that found cia officers snooped on computers used by senate staffers. something brennan denied months ago. listen. >> as far as the allegations of cia hacking into senate computers, nothing could be further from the truth. we wouldn't do that. i mean, that's just beyond the scope of reason. >> well, times have changed. leland vitter is live from washington with details on this one. >> tough to walk those words back, kelly. a whole lot of moving parts to this story, put aside for a moment the debate and controversy over the report on alleged torture by the agency. the charge that everyone is talking about now is that members of the cia accessed
10:29 am
computers belonging to the senate oversight committee that was preparing that original report. on top of it, as you just heard the cia director john brennan, said it wasn't going on. then he found out that it was going on, had a separate report drawn up on the issue, which showed cleared wrong doing that some say violated the constitution separation of powers. earlier this week, brennan apologized and also set up an accountability review board. now the battle lines have been drawn with the president saying he has faith in his cia director. >> it's clear from the ig report that some very poor judgment was shown in terms of how that was handled. keep in mind, though, john brennan is the person who called for the ig report and he's already stood up a task force to make sure that lessons are learned and mistakes are resolved. >> an apol 0y isn't enough. people have to be held responsible. there has to be a full and complete investigation not by the cia.
10:30 am
i believe that may go all the way up to the director of the cia. >> now, it's not just republicans upset about this. democrat senators udall and heinrich called for brennan's resignation whether there's growing support for that position is unclear, as the august recess gets under way on capitol hill. also unclear is how the report on enhanced interrogation techniques and the like will play into the coming debate. kelly? >> what is clear, though, is that there will be an ongoing investigation, no doubt, with this one. leland, thanks for the update. and for more on this, let's bring in fred fleiss, a former cia senior analyst and chief analyst for lig net.com. thank you for talking to us. first of all, what do you think of what the cia did? >> oh, julie, it's good to be here. first i'd like to start by saying this story has been trailing misrepresented by many politicians in the media. for example, "the washington
10:31 am
post" said this morning in an article, cia under fire despite apology of search of hill computers. julie, these were cia computers in a cia building. intelligence staffers removed a staff agreement and probably the law. what the cia did was wrong. they should have brought up this violation by the senate staff with senator feinstein. what the agency did i think was stupid and damaged cia's relationship with the congress very badly. basically, my bottom line is, although i don't thi the cia broke the law, i still think mr. brennan and other senior officials should be removed because they've damaged the confidence by congress in the cia. >> but would you believe that removing those classified documents from the building, doing so in an unauthorized manner, would not be considered illegal? >> i think that was illegal. there were two referrals to the justice department over this on the performance of cia staff and on the performance of the
10:32 am
convict gregs staff. the justice staff could not find sufficient evidence to prosecute either sigh ids. the sar jabt in arms of the senate is investigating how the staffers acted. i think they should be disciplined as well, but i haven't heard senator feinstein say she wanted to do that. >> some could argue, let's say, that the cia acted as a watch dog and there needs to be a watch dog in washington to look over senate staffers, to look over congress, to make sure they're making decisions the right way and to be held accountable for any wrongdogs and by are removing the classified documents from the cia building without authorization might be considered illegal, how could the cia have handled this differently? >> this is a very interesting question. who was monitoring the security of these computer snz. >> xlaikt. >> they were cia computers. cia can't be monitoring congress. that's obviously a bad issue. i don't think -- >> and someone should. so who should? that is a good question. >> i think there should have been an agreement, maybe some kind of joint operation by congress and the cia to make
10:33 am
sure the documents didn't leak from this procedure. i don't think anyone thought of that. >> who do you think should take the fall and do you think brennan's apology is good enough? >> i think brennan should be removed and i'm very worried about how biased this enhanced interrogation report is. that's what is the tragedy of that, this internal report which i don't think -- i'm afraid it will get out and the media is focusing on that. >> i want to switch to the president's report, a forthcoming report will show, quote, we tortured some spofolk that's what the president said, the tactics that were used after 9/11. is this a senate-led investigation, does this need to be in the public for all of us to see? >> julie, the president said we tortured some folks. it sounds like, we waterboarded somebody's bragrandmother. we used enhanced interrogation on al qaeda suspects to stop terrorist attacks. the democrats have always hated
10:34 am
this process. this is a report written only by the democrat staff. all the republicans pulled out and all the experts on this like former cia director michael hayden haven't been allowed to testify on this report. it's a partisan travesty. >> let's not forget, after we were struck by terrorists in this country, the cia's job was not only to figure out who 0 was responsible, hold them accountable, but to do whatever they had to do to make sure we were not struck again. so 0 at the time, i don't think you could argue that anyone had a problem, republican or democrat, on getting the real answers out of these terrorists. and if torture tactics had to be used, i'm sorry, but that's what it comes down to, or they won't talk. these people are very loyal to 0 their cause. how else are we going to get answers and protect americans? we haven't been hit since then so obviously we did something right. >> first, i dispute these tactics were tore 0 tur, but i know there's a debate about that. what you said is exactly right. the eens hansed interrogation program was initiated in the aftermath of 9/11.
10:35 am
democrats and republicans approved of these methods. the democrats have try odd to run away from it, especially nancy pelosi who claims she was not briefed on it, didn't know about the program. the cia has documents that says it's not true. >> former cia lawyer john rizzo says some of them criticizing the program were the same members of congress briefed on the controversial bush-era program and its intelligence value, including flancy pelosi, senator jay rockefeller from west virginia and senator dianne feinstein of california. so why the backtracking now? because we haven't been hit by another terrorist group and we're about to head into another presidential election perhaps? >> the democratic base hates these programs. so do human rights activists. this was simply too politically difficult for many democrats to continue to support so pelosi and other democrats who clearly were briefed on this program backed away from it and claimed they weren't. >> i don't hear anyone
10:36 am
complaining we haven't had another terrorist strike here, but i'm not 0 a politician. >> that's right. >> thank you very much, fred flights. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> kelly? the movie "get on up" captures the life of an american treasure, the late, great james brown. the film highlights brown, born in a brothel went from poverty to fame and fort 0 tune, the good, bad and ugly chapters of james brown's life. we focus on how brown's daughter is carrying on her father's dream by helping children achieve their life beyond the drea dream. the life of james brown comes to the screen 0 on the movie "get on up" while it focuses on his triumphs and failures, there are others who lived with brown who are focused on keeping his legacy on the good foot.
10:37 am
the legendary james brown performing on the popular television show "soul train." at his side, a young deanna brown dances to her father's music. deanna recalls how her dad often made her part of his act. >> i'm looking at this picture here, and i'm wondering, who is that little girl with the godfather of soul? >> this was taken in 1974 in washington, d.c., and he was performing there. we were wearing his and her outfits. i was about 3 years old. >> wow. on of. >> on the stage with dad. >> deanna loves to talk about her dad's influence on the world. >> my dad came up very humble and poor. he had to stop school in seventh grade so he could go to work and bring in money because my grandparents were very poor. but he worked hard. because he couldn't finish his
10:38 am
education, that's how he knew how important education was. and that was his message to young people. if you can't -- if you don't know 0 it, you can't do it. get an education. >> brown's music struck a chord with the civil rights struggle when the vietnam war began. he was the first black performer to entertain troops in the war zone. his songs gave hope to the downtrodden, a voice to the voiceless, and an identity to people who 0 were treated poorly because of the color of their skin. >> he always had a message. >> he did. i mean, i remember growing up i heard messages in his music, you've got to 0 get an education. >> don't be a dropout. i don't want nobody to give me nothing. open up the door. >> i'll get it myself. >> you got it. you got it. it's a man's world. >> it's a man's world. >> beyond his love for music, deanna said her dad loved helping children. he believed if children could learn to play instruments they would do better in school.
10:39 am
♪ gonna have a good time ♪ we're gonna have a funky good time ♪ >> the bible tells us to look out for the little children, you know. >> the children range in age from 6 to 18. to stay in the program they're required to keep their grades in school above average and learning how to 0 play instruments, how to perform and sing, plus treat each other with respect is enriching each of their lives. >> this program not only teaches us how to play good music, but it teaches us about life, teaches us how to give back to our community. >> it helps me focus a lot more at school. i used to have a lot of trouble with that, but ever since like the discipline they teach you here and the type of music and style, it just helps out with just about everything. >> james brown songs can still be heard by this band and this band that got some funk. ♪ i feel good
10:40 am
>> these kids are having fun, learning a skill, and discovering how to succeed in a man's world beyond the dream. hat's off to deanna brown for doing such great work and tribute to her father. >> that music is just amazing. that voice, that screaming voice. you sing. >> i do. >> can you belt it out 0? >> i opened up for james brown once. >> are you kidding me? >> yes. >> why wasn't that in the package? >> because it was about james and deanna. >> he opened up for james brown. amazing. this man can sing. i don't know if you know about that. maybe you could belt the tune. >> you're kind. president obama talking up the economy after employers added more than 200,000 jobs last month, but is that really enough to get the economy moving? plus, a new medical study about a possible link between birth control pills and breast cancer.

10:45 am
and prevents gum irritation. fixodent. and forget it. encouraging jobs numbers out yesterday. the labor department says employers added 209,000 jobs in july. well, that's the sixth straight months of job growth above 200,000. but some experts say it's not enough to stimulate the economy so how many new jobs do we need each month? ed bu to youski is the manager at chatwood investments. good to see you, ed, hear your perspective. let's call out these numbers and have you explain what we're looking at and why you have some concerns about this report that's kind of rosy but still thorny. >> yeah. well, it is rosy. it's not so much about getting the economy going, it's about us paying our bills. think about the united states as a company. every year, right now we're $600 billion short in terms of how much money we need to pay our
10:46 am
bills. so when we see these jobs reports, a lot of pex hear them and say, 200,000 net new jobs, let's purt it in perspective. each one of those jobs was a full time paying job, which it wasn't, by the way, but if it was and paying $50,000, the federal income tax we can derive from that is $12,500. a lot of numbers but think about this. each job means 12,500 new dollars into our company, the united states. well, right now with what we're averaging, we're averaging about half of what we need to pay off all of the bills that we have. that doesn't even include attacking the debt that we have, the long-term $18 trillion worth of debt. so the numbers are better, but they're nowhere close to what we need just to pay our bills in this country. >> so, having said that, what do you think needs to be done in order to stimulate or get that kind of growth in our job situation so we can cover all of the bases economically?

>> well, there's so many things that we need to do. and we need to have a much more pro-business atmosphere and regulations and everything about it to get the economy going to make it so employers want to hire full-time employees. we have an enormous problem in terms of us adding to that deficit -- excuse me, adding to our debt. when we don't have that money to pay for it, if we did this for 12 months straight, we would get 300 billion new dollars into the system, but we're still, because we're spending so much, kelly, because that number is so great and we're spending so much more than we ever have before, because of that, we have to then increase our long-term debt. so what do we do? get a lot more pro-business and find different ways to get the economy going so people will hire more. >> i hear you loud and clear. let's look at the political nature of this. are you saying that perhaps people on capitol hill are not hearing you loud clear? >> i hope so. i hope every one of them are watching right now.
10:48 am
i really hope -- i want people to watch this because you also see on the headlines on newspapers across the country, people applauding this number. and they shouldn't be. they should be frightened because we're only halfway where we need to be and probably a little less than that. given we get tax dollars, obviously a lot from corporate taxes and others. but we can only get taxed so much. we're at the highest level ever in this country of tax revenue. that's because we're being taxed everywhere. now we need more jobs. the only way we get revenue into this country, call it the usa, call it a company, the only way we get that is from taxing. we're going to 0 get that through new full-time jobs. that's what has me so frightened. we're not functioning like we need to and people don't have a perspective on what we need to get versus what we have. >> ed butouski, thank you i think. >> the truth always hourts but it's good for paving a way for a better future.
10:49 am

10:54 am
less than 1% is a small percentage chance. however, should women taking the pill right now be concerned/. >> julie, there's not much to be concerned about based on this study. this debate has been going on for 0 a long time. should women be concerned about the risk of oral contraceptive pills and breast cancer? this looks at somewhere from 1990 all the way to 2009, they're comparing about 1100 women with breast cancer compared with 20,000 without it. there are some issues with this study. number one, in 1990 we were using birth control pills that were really in high dose of estrogen and progesterone we're 0 not using today. they find out if you take oral contraception with high doses of these hormones you're more susceptible to breast cancer. number two, family history played a huge role. if you have someone in your family that has breast cancer, you want to be careful about taking these hormones and you want to be under supervision of
10:55 am
doctors. and then there are also some breast cancers that are more hormone sensitive, meaning that their receptors that once you put in thisse esses estrogen, i putting oil in fire and it can cause aggressive spread of the cancer. but having said that, based on this study, the increased risk of getting breast cancer from oral contraceptives is so small, it will not change the way we would practice medicine, won't change any of our clinical decisions whether we should give the contraceptives or not. >> the debate has been there as far as the risk of breast cancer and oral contraceptives, particularly smokers. we've known if you are a smoker you're more likely to 0 develop breast cancer. is that true? >> what we see in those patients, there's increased risk of what we call blood clots in those particular patients. not so much breast cancer. in patients that are big-time smokers that may have some vascular problems, you take oral
10:56 am
contraceptives you increased dpt and blood clots. >> i also want to point out there are plus side 0s to the pill. they help protect against pelvic inflammatory disease, lower the risk of some cancers and help maintain bone density. >> so that's well said. the -- i was about to bring it up. i'm glad you did. osteoporosis is a huge risk as we get older. estrogen and pelvic inflammatory disease as well. >> dr. samadi, thank you so much. >> for more on 0 th this, watch and dr. siegel every sunday morning on "house call ". s. like, if you could save hundreds on car insurance by making one simple call, why wouldn't you make that call? see, the only thing i can think of is that you can't get any... bars. ah, that's better.
