my older son looked at it and threw it. oh, goodness. this might be the best way. >> back on tv -- good story. >> thank you. >> monday at noon eastern. have a great weekend, everybody. "happening now" starts right now. and we begin with this fox news alert. president obama set to share the stage with the leader of our cold war enemy. >> that's right, the president will meet with cuban president raul castro at the summit of the americas. we're covering all the news happening now. along life's way, you get a chance to make millions of decisions. some are big like do you run for office. [ laughter ] >> now hillary clinton on sunday will announce she is running for president. is she the inevitable democratic nominee? plus -- >> he's over! he's over! [ bleep ] >> go, go! >> destruction touching down from the sky. after severe storms sweep across

the heartland with deadly consequences. >> a lot of lightweight houses didn't stand up well to the high winds. >> the dangerous weather is still on the move. also -- someone has broken in -- >> the chilling encounter between a terrified oscar winner and her alleged stalker, all happening now. >> first a fox news alert. the waiting game finally ever. fox news confirming hillary clinton will launch her presidential campaign this coming sunday. of course, setting in motion a run for the white house that apparently has been years in the making. welcome to "happening now." i'm eric shawn in for jon scott. >> i'm uma pemmaraju in for jenna lee. the former first lady will announce her decision on social media. then she heads to iowa for more traditional campaigning. she won't be alone in the

hawkeye state. two potentialer challengers former maryland governor martin o'malley and virginia senator jim webb are also there now. chief white house correspondent ed henry live now from des moines, iowa. good to see you. you confirmed that hillary clinton will be announcing her 2016 campaign this weekend. >> reporter: that's right. i'm in a coffee shop in des moines. i'll be sitting down with former governor martin o'malley in a few weeks. we'll put that on as quickly as we can. what's interesting, two democratic sources confirming that hillary clinton will announce sunday with the video. she did much the same in 2007 when she rolled out her first presidential campaign. that did not work. why? largely because she failed here in iowa. came in third place. they're going to do the same with the video and social media. they hope to get her on the ground in iowa more quickly. getting her in one-on-one interactions with voters. not taking this for granted.

martin o'malley already here. we caught up with him at an irish pub singing irish songs. trying to run to the left of clinton, running with an anti-wall street message. listen -- >> we need to deliver on the promise we need to regulate wall street so they can't run roughshod over -- [ applause ] >> the people of the united states. [ applause ] >> it is not too much for us to ask our federal government to prevent pig banks from cheating -- big banks from cheating us or from wrecking our national economy. >> reporter: you could hear that rhetoric firing up the left. what i've been told, as well some new information. in the last few days the candidate herself, hillary clinton, has been behind closed doors, meeting with various advisers for policy meetings. whether it be about isis, the iran nuclear deal, bawls the-- but also the economy, health care. the reason being, she's not been a candidate for a long time, for

years. they're worried she's rusty. they've got to get her ready. >> indeed. she might be getting competition from moderate democrats as well. >> reporter: that's right. jim webb, former virginia senator i caught up with him in des moines a few minutes ago. he might be running more to the center where you hear o'malley running the elizabeth warren populist message, borrowing that playbook. interesting because when i pressed jim webb over a cup of coffee about hillary clinton getting into the race, here's what he said -- >> i think in terms of the country at large and not simply iowa, people are looking for leadership that they can trumptst. they're looking for leaders who say what they believe and be consistent with it. and rather than massaging issues to try to get one political safety zone or another, we'll take the risks of leadership and put them out there. we've that my entire political

career. >> has hillary clinton done that in her career? >> you'd have to ask her. >> reporter: he won't answer that about clinton. interesting because he immediately went to leadership and trust. remember that quinnipiac university poll showing 49% of voters in iowa into not find hillary clinton honest and trustworthy. her democratic rivals are going right at that. >> a very revealing poll. it shows how voters feel in iowa. thank you very much reporting there from the coffee shop in des moines. >> reporter: good to see you. >> economic back with you later on. thanks. it's been the worst kept secret for a while now. it's out of the bag. with mrs. clinton officially throwing her hat into the ring on sunday. after all the anticipation, how will the launch go, and what can we actually expect from her when she hit the campaign trail? this time around to avoid her 2008 fate. ed o'keefe political reporter for the "washington post," joins us. why now? why push the go button in what

less than 48 hours from now? >> well the fact that she bought that -- started renting campaign office space in brooklyn actually started a clock. officially once you take that kind of step, you have about a two-week window. after revelations about her e-mail, it was felt there was a lot -- it was time to get in. and some feel she's not showing up not taking the time needed to cultivate democrats, and then swing state voters later on. and so they're getting started and making the inevitable official. >> as we saw in ed's report, her potential rivals were in des moines, you know at the 801 snakehouse where everyone gather. that's a key point. politico was reporting she doesn't want a coronation. they're going to roll her out in small groups in homes with people in iowa and also new hampshire. this is reminiscent of her listening tour. remember that, when she first

started to run for senate. will that work? is that real? will people see through this? >> we'll see. that's left to the voter of iowa, new hampshire south carolina, and elsewhere to decide. part of the problem is she might like to keep it small, but guys like you and i are going to be in tow, potentially a real problem for her to manage the cirque us that does follow that is mostly -- circus that does follow that is mostly media. she is a strong woman conjures strong opinions. people have been waiting for this for, gosh, the last seven years essentially. we'll be eager to see how it goes, for good or for ill for her. i mostly cover republican now. but having heard from democrats they say she's not here. there a missed opportunity if she doesn't show up soon because anyone who's unaffiliated might start hanging out too much with the republicans and not listen to our candidate. >> the "new york times," your competition -- sorry -- they say on the web site little has been said about her reasons for mounting another presidential

bid. what's the rationale ed? is it just enough to be hillary? >> well, i think that's what we are expecting to hear from her sunday. she's going to have to start laying out why she thinks, you know, seven to eight years after failing to do it that she suddenly is the person. i think there's going to be a lot of pressure on her from the left flank of the democratic party to really lay out an agenda that can resonate not only somehow with liberals, with progressives concerned about things like income and equality, but also with swing voters elsewhere. and inevitably they'll be fighting over a small piece of the pie, democrats and republicans, over the undecided voters. with her at least, you have pretty strong opinions on either side about her. you either like her or hate her. it's going to be difficult to sway people who might be in between. she'll be going after those folks, trying to solidify the democrat inbase. yes, jim webb and martin o'malley, drinking beer and eating cookies. their chances appear slim compared to her. she's coming in and i suspect the numbers will hold. my slip a little bit, but i

think now that she's starting it democrats will get very excited. >> another shot across the bow kind of from the "economist. "the "in an article titled "what does hillary stand for," an irish book maker gives her a 91% chance of capturing the white house in 2016. then it goes on "the last time she seemed inevitable, she turned out not to be. for someone on the national stage for a quarter century, her belief are strangely hard to pin down. the campaign has barely begun, but if mrs. clinton is to deserve the job she desires, she has to -- she has questions to answer." finally what will she run on? what are the questions that she has to answer? >> i think it's why are you running, you know, how would youtiveyou differentiate yourself from the president you once served that is unpopular with americans. and what will you do to be the future political candidate? there's a thought that the candidate is younger or of the next generation. in this case, it would be a step back. why does she think she's the

person to take the country into the next few years is a central argument. another thing to consider what does she do about bill clinton. what would be his role? to what extent will he be involved in the campaign? i think that's a short-term thing. but frankly a longer one, especially if she spaces a jeb bush. i'll be curious to see how they tackle that question. >> and throwing in benghazi, emails, as well as donations to the clinton foundation as part of the questions. we will see what comes. >> that and the kitchen sink. >> exactly. thanks for joining us. >> take care. with mrs. clinton's announcement expected sunday would you consider voting for her? we want to hear from you. here's our live chat, up and running now. all you got do is go to foxnews.com/happeningnow. join the conversation, yay or nay on hillary and what you think. man are people going to be weighing in. >> indeed. republicans aren't letting the grass grow under their feet. a host of presidential hopefuls visiting the nra convention in

nashville, giving them a chance to show support for the second amendment and rally up the base. chief political correspondent carl cameron joining us live with more on what's going on. carl? >> reporter: hi uma. this is 1944th national rifle association convention, bringing some 70,000 enthusiasts. here's a quick graphic of who will be speaking today about the second amendment right to bear arms in the united states. there's not a lot of difference in the republicans candidates on. that this will be an attempt to rally the republican base. there will be some absenteeism. senator rand paul is not going to be here. he is in iowa campaigning of course. he just announced his campaign in the last few days and is continuing on to the first in the nation caucus state today. he has an a rating as do almost all of the presidential candidates. marco rubio will be announcing his campaign on monday. that will be somewhat eclipsed

by all the talk about hillary clinton. and it's meant on some level to contrast himself with rand paul. mr. paul is going to run for senate re-election at the same time he seeks the white house bid. in the case plaintiff rubio, it's expect -- in the case plaintiff rubio, it's expected when he announces his campaign he is going to not seek senate re-election in order to fully commit to a white house run. it is worth noting that there is another absentee who does not have an a rating. chris christie, governor of new jersey. there have been gun control laws passed during his tenure. he's not coming to the event. it an opportunity for the republicans to go after sportsmen who tend to vote republican but don't kid yourself, there are plenty of democratic sportsmen here who also support the second amendment. some of them actually have had nice things to see about hillary clinton. most of them preferred not to really comment and say they're here to take part in celebrating their second amendment. uma? >> there you go. thank you very much, live from nashville. we have a fox news alert. another american allegedly

backing isis. federal officials now have charged a kansas man with they say trying to provide material support to the radical islamic terrorist group. there have been a spate of similar arrests across the country. in the latest, john t. booker, they claim he wanted to blow up a car at the ft. riley military base in kansas. the pentagon says booker recently enlisted with the army. they say with the intent to carry out a potential insider attack. apparently they say just like major nidal hasan's shooting at ft. hood in 2009. we're told booker was arrested. he's set to appear later this afternoon in court inny to peek amp authorities also say -- in topeka. authorities also say there was no breach of security at ft. riley. we'll stay on top of the developing story. newly released dash cam video showing the moments before that horrible deadly police shooting in south carolina. does it answer any questions? mother nature crippling towns across the midwest as

police cash cam footage released moments before the horrible witness of the shooting and killing of an unarmed man by a police officer. began with a traffic stop when north charleston police officer michael slager got the license and goes to the cruiser. shortly after, scott jumped out of the car and started running. then officer slager chases him down. the question remains as to what happened between the time the two men leave that frame and then when that horrendous cell phone video we saw begins, which shows slager shooting scott as he runs away. slager is now facing murder charge. he's been fired from the force. he's sitting in jail. mr. scott's family they say he

may have run because he feared going to jail over back child support. court records show he owed at least $8000 in payment at the time of the horrible tragic shooting. one person dead, at least eight other injured this hour after a massive tornado sweeps through a farming community near chicago. the damage is so widespread, everyone forced to evacuate. roughly 85% of the town destroyed, and just 20 miles away, another twister damaging buildings in the town of rochelle including a restaurant where a dozen people were later rescued from the basement. our chief meteorologist joining us live from the extreme weather center to tell us more about the powerful storms. rick? >> hey there. yeah, rough night last night, obviously. kind of two days that we've dealt with this. today is the third. storms now pulling off toward the mid-atlantic. and eventually part of the northeast. and then all the way across parts of the deep south. today not as severe as we saw

yesterday. this is the storm last night as these formed. you see the individual cells. that's always a bad sign when there are individual cells and you get tornadoes like we saw yesterday. and that right there is the one that caused all of the damage. to the south of the rockford area and west of chicago, much more populated areas than what we saw hit. and unfortunately, a horrible tragedy. the cold front has moved east. this is where we've got juicy air and kind of primed for more severe weather. this warm front is going to spread up across the northeast and bring much warmer temperatures by the time we get toward tonight. the severe weather threat here mostly wind and hail. i think we see any tornado activity today, it will be across parts of eastern virginia including the washington, d.c., area and toward baltimore. that will be the one spot we're going to watch as we go into the evening for possibly tornadoes. got to show you this. average year to date, we've only had 89 tornadoes so far. we typically would have had around 252. we are well below average for where we typically would be this

time of year. that's great news. but you see, it just takes one tornado to cause all of those problems. one last thing to show, one piece of good news coming here. at least temperature-wise. watch the next couple of days across northeast. 60s get here, and they say for about the next five to six days. one little piece of good news for so many -->> the 60s are not just going to flirt and run away? >> they're not going to flirt and go back to the 30s. here for a while. >> good news indeed. thank you. >> you bet. a humanitarian disaster in the making. desperately needed food water, and medical supplies final reach something children in a war-torn country. but they wonder will it be enough. and vladimir putin, this man is in overdrive. in russia, making more aggressive moves right off of our shores as well as in eastern europe. now a warning from a former nato commander of yet another new land grab they say is about to begin. what does putin want? can he be stopped?

welcome back. right now we're learning the red cross and unicef delivering humanitarian aid in yemen's cap tamp weeks of fighting between -- capital. weeks of fighting between the rebels and coalition have sparked a humanitarian crisis in sanaa leading civilians including so many children trapped with no access to food, water, or medical supplies. representatives say two planes have delivered about 35 tons of aid. enough to feed 80,000 people and treat 1,000 people who have been wounded. the new concerns of even more russian aggression in eastern europe. a new offensive in ukraine is immeant. retired general wesley clark telling the atlanta counsel he expects a new -- atlanta council

he expects a new assault next week. including warplanes, naval ships close to our coastline. general clark believes vladimir putin's ultimate goal is to destroy the current system in place in europe as a whole and drive a wedge between us the u.s., and our european allies. will putin win? we have the former pentagon official director of the allison center for foreign policy studies at the heritage foundation. steve, good to see you. putin, man, i mean, he has not been stopped so far by sanctions. not threats, not criticism. do you think he can be? >> he can be stopped, but unfortunately the credibility of this administration is low right now. putin's not doing this in isolation. he's looking at our other policies, this iran deal and he's saying boy, the americans are on the ropes i'm going to keep pushing. >> what does it mean if he keeps on pushing and what do we do about it? >> well, the united states and our nato allies have to stiffen their spines a bit and perhaps

deploy troops at least in exercises to send some messages. we should authorize the export of liquid natural gas to let putin know we're going to take that weapon away from him. right now, just the sanctions and the righteous indignation is not enough. >> if we take those measures that you suggest, some would think that could provoke putin even more. >> look, he's going to push as much as he can. we're not provoking him. we didn't start this. he's the one making the land grab. we need to respond to it. nobody wants to go to war with russia, least of all the europeans or us. but you can stop a war by showing strength. you show weakness you're just egging him on. >> i mean it hasn't worked so far. he has this idea of a new russia, you know after annexing crimea, trying to get a land bridge maybe moving on ukraine. the administration you know, so far they haven't sent offensive

weapons. they've sent mres, night vision goggles, blankets, and the ukrainian president said you can't win a war with blankets. should we send offensive weapons? should we what scramble nato more to defend ukraine? if we did what would that mean? >> well, i think we should at the very least we need to be considering what sort of weapons to send to them. offensive weapons should be on the table. we should have folks there working with the ukrainian military working with the other countries around ukraine and on the border of russia. right now putin wants to overturn the entire regime that came about after the fall of the soviet union, in kosovo, serbia all these places, he wants to turn back the clock. we should not allow him will to do that. >> i mean, finally, what about us? look, "los angeles times" reports that these russian bearcats i guess the -- some of the aircraft have been seen,

what 50 miles or so off the california coast. is this the same type of cold war games, we look at them, they spot us. what does it mean when he's poking, poking us? >> he's flexing his muscles. it's not a real threat to the united states. those bombers are -- they're going to come around. they've always done that, even during periods when we were much more friendly with them. our folks respond. we watch them totally. that's not a big worry other than it shows putin's intent to push the envelope. we need to be aware keep responding. i think our folks have that under control. >> all right. we may have it under control but apparently not what's happening in ukraine if wesley clark's prediction comes true for next week. we'll be on top of that. thank you. >> thanks for having me. president obama travels to panama for a summit of the americas today. it's what's happening on the sidelines that's generating lots of buzz as our president meets

it's been nearly six years and emotions are running high for those who found themselves victims of the ft. hood shooting rampage in 2009. the obama administration for years branded nidal assad's behavior as workplace violence, not radical islamic terrorism. that changed two months ago. the victims today were honored with purple hearts finally. ♪ >> 47 medals were presented at the emotional and deeply meaningful ceremony that many thought were long overdue. we're joined live from ft. hood on the very latest. hi, casey. >> reporter: hi, eric. you saw lots of tears. you saw lots of heartache, but you also saw lot of relief inside that extremely powerful ceremony here on the ft. hood post this morning. this is a day, after all, that

the victims and their family members and lawmaker have long been fighting for. ever since that fall day of 2009 when nidal hasan opened fire on this military post killing 13 and wounding more than 3 others. in addition to the purple hearts, two defensive freedom medals were also given out which is the civilian, equivalent of a purple heart. listen to how oneecipient and survivor of the attack described his hope for everyone moving forward now. >> praying that everybody who received this award today are doing well and were able to pick up the pieces wake up every day knowing that we are victors. and to continue on with our lives as normal as possible. >> reporter: this is the first time, by the way, many of these folks have been in the same place at one time since those attacks. perhaps the most emotional

moment of today's ceremony was when the 13 posthumous medals were given to the family members of those who lost their lives here. then "taps" played and there were not many dry eyes in the house. remember today was made possible because congress did have to pass a new law that changed the criteria of what it takes to receive this extremely high honor. eric? >> casey, long overdue, deeply meaningful. thank you. >> reporter: yes it is. >> uma? switching gears now and back to politics. senator rand paul accused of being short ds-tempered with female journalists. this after a tense exchange with "today" show host savannah guthrie. the dust-up overshadowing his 2016 announcement a bit. critics say it's a sign he may not be ready for a presidential campaign. fox news analyst howard kerrsh writes "these dust-ups can be revealing when it comes to

gauging how candidates handle pressure, how quick they are on their feet, and whether they have the discipline to stick to their message on that score. rand paul, scott walker and hillary clinton have all stumbled. ted cruz did much better." host of "media buzz" joins us. hi there. this was an interesting take from your perspective. it's early on the game. already we're seeing these guys stumble in the first days. >> right. you only get one chance to introduce yourself as a presidential candidate. whether you believe that rand paul was punching back against unfair questions from savannah guthrie or not, he ended up delivering a self-inflicted wound it his campaign. it comes just a few weeks a dust-up with cnbc anchor kelly evans. i'm not buying into the notion this is sexist because as the senator says, he can be equally prickly with questioners of both genders. let's look at what he got into in that cnbc interview.

>> i'm sure you know that most of the research on this indicates that these actually cost more money over the long term than they save, are you saying -- >> that's incorrect. you're -- ho, ho. your premise and question is mistaken, okay? >> right, but it works out -- >> let me finish -- hey, let me -- kelly, hey, sh. >> i'm sorry. >> quiet -- calm down a bit here kelly. >> rand paul told me shortly after that interview that he realized that you don't shush people. that didn't play well. that he has a problem because he loses his temper. he told me when he feels like he's being put on the fence with unfair questions. except that is part of running for president. some of the questions are perfectly legitimate. >> the media often becomes a target, though, to beat up on the media saying you're asking me unfair questions, playing doctor journalism, that type of thing. he comes across awfully defensive in this one. >> reporter: right. that's the trick which, is you know sometime the questions are overbearing or you know, you get talked over.

all that happens. the trick for a politician, for a successful politician, is to pivot, you might say that's completely wrong but thin you pivot to your substantive answer so that becomes the focus. ted cruz was able to do that when he was unfairly beaten up, in my view, of how he scared a 3-year-old girl in a speech about the world being on fire. he was able to poke fun at himself. i think rand paul being new to the fierce national spotlight probably understands and his team probably understands he has to develop the discipline ton let his annoyance show so blatantly when he feels the questions are out of bounds. in a presidential campaign, just about everything, including your record is fair game. >> absolutely. and when people -- early on as we pointed out. these early days, these are the things that might stick in people's minds. you know, in terms of the reaction someone like rand paul has when he's asked some pressing questions. even though you might have other issues down the road, months later. the fact is people -- these things tend to stay with folks.

>> right. you know, it's very temperaturing especially for -- tempting, especially for republicans, to bash the press, to make the journalists the issue and your people cheer, the base of your party support. but in the long run, any successful candidate including republicans who have reached the white house have to learn how to master or finesse or neutralize the press even if they think the press is being hostile. >> howard kurtz, great to see you. what's coming up on "media buzz"? >> we'll talk about hillary clinton's weekend launch and the way the coverage of the shooting, the fatal and tragic shooting in north carolina, that narrative is very different on the videotape than what we saw in ferguson. >> thank you. coming up, up next, they say the fda allowed dangerous product that are supposed to help consumers allow them to be on store shelves across the country. coming up, our doctor weighs in on what it means and about the health risks. then, there's this -- a man accused of stalking sandra

hi, tgif, coming up, breaking news about an american planning to blow up a military base here on united states soil. plus, what do you think people google the most about ted cruz, rand paul, marco rubio, and other presidential candidates? their stance on major issues of the day? nope. we'll tell you the surprising results that we found. and slurpee fanatics rejoice. tomorrow is bring your own cup day. and big news about ikea's meatballs too. yeah news you can use all top of the hour.

happening now president obama may be ready to sit down at the same table as cuban president raul castro. the two have already talked. the white house saying the two spoke by phone on wednesday before the president left to attend the two-day summit of the americas happening now in panama. that is where we have more live from the summit in panama city, panama. kevin, one big move predicted that could happen today -- the u.s. removing cuba from the list of the state sponsors of terrorism. do you think we'll hear about that? >> reporter: good question, eric. i feel like it won't likely happen, at least officially until tomorrow. i think everything says it will happen during this trip to panama by the president of the united states. as you can imagine, people will be listening carefully to how the president characterizes the cuban regime during his comments in panama city. he did take a turn away from his scheduled events making a little

stop at the lock at the panama canal today. perhaps a chance to unlock years of diplomatic gridlock with havana in the offing. america's top diplomat, john kerry, did meet with his cuban counterpart last night. perhaps another signal that the administration has a strong desire to elevate the cuban regime. unfortunately, despite its human rights abuse. and we talked a bit about that moments ago eric with josh earnest and with brett rhodes of the obama team. i asked pointblank, does thetration compartmentalize -- the administration compartmentalize the notion that they know they are bad actors in cuba, they know there are problems with the regime and how it's treated its people? ben frankly said they recognize that happens all over the globe. if the american administration the obama administration in particular refused to do business or refused to have ties with every bad actor on the global stage we'd find ourselves isolated in great many ways. >> yeah, as you know, a very controversial move. the diplomatic effort with cuban. meanwhile, the next meeting,

besides the kerry one, is the president himself meeting with castro. when do we think that will take place? >> reporter: well you know, it's interesting. when you listen to josh describe wloontd that would -- whether or not that would happen, they're coy saying we'll keep you up to date on the schedule. there may or may not be an opportunity for a break, we haven't scheduled it. let may tell you, it will happen, probably tomorrow they'll have time together. what will be the meat or substance of the meeting we simply don't know. but i can tell you in his conversations yesterday in jamaica, the president made it clear it's time to give the americas a fresh look and time in particular to take a new approach as it relates to cuba. >> in our foreign policy, there are no senior or junior partners in the americas. they're just partners. that's one reason why the united states has started a new chapter in our relations with the people of cuba we feel continue to have differences with the cuban

government. we don't want to be imprisoned by the past. when something doesn't work for 50 years, you don't just keep on doing it you try something new. [ applause ] >> reporter: clearly there will be strong opposition on the hill. you've heard marco rubio bob menendez, vocal in their opposition to establishing new relationship ties with cuba. we'll have obviously a good chance to look closely at what congress has to say about the president's move in the days to come. >> a lot of position despite support. thanks, kevin. dangerous inaction by the food and drug administration. in 2013 the agency apparently found a chemiccal in popular health supplements that led to strokes and other serious cardiovascular complications. the agency did nothing. the fda never named those products or warned consumers about the risks. it did not even ask the companies to remove those dangerous stimulants from their

supplements. now many retailers are removing the products from their shelves. but that's in response to recent news reports about the findings. what gives? chair of urology at lenox hill hospital joins us now. the supplements are always controversial in that because people believe they're natural, they're using organic ingredients, that it's got to be good for the body. particularly when we're talking about weights loss products. >> you know what this is bringing so many questions as to why fda didn't really expose the products. we knew there were a lot of issues. they found that their amphetamine like products among the weight loss product and really never put them out there for people to know. should we wait until they have cardiovascular disease, stroke? absolutely not. there's a list of 11 products. a lot of vitamin companies are taking them off the shelf. people think that they're getting herbs, but there are a lot of other things contaminated in it. fda is really not looking out for us when it comes to this.

it's a huge problem. >> all -- all the interactions when you're talking about those with other medications people might be on. >> that's a good point. i have a lot of men in the field of utloolgrology that can be taking viagra, cialis ones on the screen. it can change metabolism, heart rate, blood pressure. and that interaction when your doctors don't know you're on them, the patients don't know what they're taking, this is bad news. >> i think people think they don't need to mention it to their doctors because theying it inging -- it's nothing where they're dealing with a regular prescribed medication. >> that's part of the problem. fda is not regulating. once it's part of the supplements or vitamins they're not being regulated. it's very hard. sometimes you know people pick on these traditional doctors saying that they are not promoting all these alternate medicines. on "sunday house call," i talk about vitamins and herbs all the time when it's legit.

for the most part because we component don't know what's in them and the interaction with other medications, the effect they. have the studies are weak when it comes to vitamins. i think it's -- it'sfda to really watch overit's the job of fda to really watch over this. and when there's bad news you don't wanto wait until like you have a lot of people dead on your hands before you announce them. this is coming to the surface. we're going to put this actually on line. there are 11 products. we just posted them. it will be on fox news and my own blog. we'll list all of them for people to know. they need to know there's no quick fix. still diet, exercise portion control, all of those are ways to a nutritionist and real doctor to find out what you should take. >> i'm curious about akaish ya, thinking it's an ininstant quick fix for weight loss. >> there's no such thing. >> thank you so much. how would you like to be
