website. it stops right here because we're definitely looking out for you. >> julie: i'm julie banderas. welcome to a brand-new hour. >> gregg: i'm gregg jarrett. we're following a lot of developing stories and chaos in indiana after a pedestrian bridge suddenly collapses. dozens injured as they were celebrating the 4th of july. we're getting brand-new information as to what may have caused that bridge to suddenly give way. >> julie: new details coming into fox news about a shocking death. the shocking death of former n.f.l. quarterback steve mcnair. we're learning that he was shot multiple times, his body found inside a nashville, tennessee condo. a women's body was found near him. was a murder-suicide?

>> gregg: and president obama leaving the white house for his next mission, to russia, italy and then ghana and focal point is the annual summit of the eight industrialized nations, otherwise known as the g-78 but the first stop will be in moscow. number one topic there is likely nuclear weapons. major garrett has more. so the white house is saying not to expect a final agreement on reducing nuclear weapons. what are the sticking points here? >> good morning, gregg. it's just after midnight here in moscow. president obama did leave the white house a couple of hours to arrive here early tomorrow morning for an extensive two day meeting with dmitry medvedev and also with a side meeting with the prime minister vladimir putin. sticking points, how do you count them on nuclear weapons. u.s. has more missiles rushes

shans have land-based. united states have moth-balled or taken out of weaponization bombers but the russians wants to counted those system because they can be put back on the air delivery systems. so there are technical disagreements and the other issue is anti-ballistic missile defense. bush administration committed to putting some in europe and the russians adamantly opposed that. they are reviewing the policy to see if they can work out an arrangement. so far, no deal there. those are the sticking points. >> gregg: one against the sense that these talks is taking on a special significance for the obama white house. why is that? >> because the obama administration wants to quote, unquote, reset the relationship with russia. one of the ways they can achieve some kind of diplomatic and

strategic breakthrough is on nuclear weapons reduction. they think that is one place they can start to begin to bridge the differences that divide russia and the united states over the past two or three years. if they can arrange with the russians to reduce nuclear weapons delivery systems and nuclear bombs themselves, they can encourage others throughout the world to sign on nuclear reduction talks themselves or in the case of iran not pursue them in the first place. that is why this administration believes these talks are so important. >> gregg: major, what about the relationship with vladimir putin. he is going to be with the president but she meeting with prime minister putin? >> he is meeting with putin and you can begin to see the lines being drawn. let's be honest, that is the side that runs things still in russia. its hard line against president

obama. in a couple of interviews, president obama has said very complimentary things about dmitry medvedev and not so complimentary things about vladimir putin. in one he said putin has one way of thinking, the cold war. a prominent newspaper said that comment from president obama, he is playing a risky game and washington is interfering with russia's political life and stretching the kremlin to the breaking point. that is what putin is telling the obama administration, don't mess with me, because if you forget about me, you might be in trouble. expect a tense breakfast here in moscow. leaving the white house tonight for his next foreign mission, a week long trip taking him to russia. >> julie: are you handing it over to me. he is going to italy and west

africa. west african nation of ghana. focal point of the trip is g-78 in rome but the president's first stop will be -- g-8 in rome but the number one topic will be the north korea and russia and china and trying to de-arm north korea. alaska governor sarah palin sudden resignation announcement and a facebook announcement by her is fanning the flames. now, in her facebook message she refers to others who left office for a, quote, higher calling, which means she could be planning a return to the national stage. molly henneberg is live in washington. republicans are a bit perplexed, probably at the least by all of this. what are they saying. >> molly: the press is a bit

curious to see if her gamble works. if she wants to run for president, does this help her. one potential opponent called her decision risky and the republican political strategist says it raises expectations for palin and won't thwarted the media's pursuit. >> it's not clear what her strategy is. two and a half years to the term and putting herself on the national stage that she may not yet be prepared to operate in. >> nobody knows whether it's going pay off or not. even if she did get out, primarily because of a feeling of being chased that is not going to stop as she continues in politics. >> her lieutenant governor who will succeed her in a few weeks, this time out of office will give her time to figure out her next step and quote, further her core values. >> julie: has palin given any

more indication of what she wants to do. i would imagine she has other plans? >> she feels there may be a higher calling to reach out to people and spread conservative values. she also tweeted today saying critics are spin as they are sending false info as i made the decision to not run again. and there are reports that they are per suing some sort of national tv talk show. >> julie: interesting. i say she is going to do that. that is just my hunch. she did have quite a natural ability in front of a camera. she is a beautiful woman and we'll have to see. >> molly: fairly lucrative. >> julie: a lot of money to be made in television besides our salary. see you, molly. >> gregg: vice president joe biden talking about north

korea's missile display. they test fired seven missiles and he dismissed it as attention seeking behavior. some international officials are warning the most troubling thing is just how much better north korea's technology and capabilities seem to be getting, how worried should we be if at all. joining to us talk about that is lieutenant general, always greats to see you. the short range missiles are capable of striking basically just about anywhere in south korea including american troops station there had. these missiles could hit them within four to six minutes. what do you think pyongyang's intentions are. first of all, practice does make perfect. they are trying to get better at it. deep down they really have a succession crisis going on in north korea.

kim jong-il is about to step over on the side and could with a stroke and he wants to install his son. that is his third son and so he is trying, think i, to exhibit a very strong position so people don't try to take advantage, number one within north korea and, of course, outside north korea. that is what i think is going on. it's very dangerous. >> gregg: it is, all this missile activity as you well know, not to mention the nuclear tests that have been performed under ground, all of that is prohibited by united nations resolutions, is it now abundantly apparent that the u.n. sanctions as a deterrent are utterly meaningless? >> look we've got people that are hoping this works out, but hope is not a strategy. we need to be very realistic and start i in addition mediating

strategies that give the north korean government some pain. >> gregg: like what? >> like some very aggressive financial and economic measures. cut off the hundred dollar counterfeiting bills they are printing and we let them go through. cut off their financial access to dollars. dry up all the banks around them. get the proliferation security initiative to stop all the proliferating they are doing in the middle east and into iran and into syria which is very dangerous because those are nuclear materials. >> gregg: chinese could change this equation if they so desired. they provide food and fuel to north korea. without china they couldn't survive and they are barely surviving now. so clearly beijing is capable of exerting vital pressure on north korea to back off, but they are not doing it. why not?

>> they are not doing it and they are deliberately not doing it because they wanted to keep tension there between south korea and with japan. they need a buffer state. they want to let north korea play that role. they could very easily do just what you said. without having all the refugees they're talking about swarming into china, that is the excuse they give. it's pathetic to listen to american people recite that excuse. they can do an awful lot and they have elected not to because they want to see us pinned down in the middle east with iran. they were one of the top suppliers giving them nuclear technology and conventional arms. what they are doing to sustain the north korean government. let's admit it. >> gregg: u.s. intelligence defense agency warned that they have the ability to mount the

nuclear warhead on a long-range missile, a missile that could hit u.s. territory if, indeed, pyongyang decides to launch a missile in the direction of hawaii, what do you think we will or should do? >> i think we should shoot that missile down. if it goes into the broad ocean area, 3,000 miles which would be roughly a thousand to 1200 miles from hawaii. i think we should shoot that missile down and don't even say we shot it down. don't say a word. >> gregg: just do it. lieutenant, great to see you. >> julie: back here in the united states, new urgency in the manhunt for a serial killer terrifying south carolina. some people arming themselves while the town is in a near

lockdown in a fifth murder and 15-year-old abby tyler died from a shotd gunshot wound. now here is with the latest on the story. so maryanne, what about the man they are looking for. >> investigators have released a picture of a person they believe is responsible for killing five people over the last week here in south carolina. they believe he is a white man in his late 40s, 6'2", 200 pounds with salt and pepper hair. they believe he is driving a champagne colored early model ford explorer. they are hoping someone will see him and will call and give information. they are getting tips all the time. as we speak right knew they are on a manhunt and looking everywhere. in the gaffney area because they

don't know if he hopped on the interstate and someplace else right now. >> what the victims in the murder spree. is there any links between them that may help investigators find this serial killer before he strikes again? >> so far investigators are saying they don't believe the victims necessarily knew each other although people say this is a small town and everybody knows everybody. they say it doesn't look like they are connected and there is no reason to believe that any of the victims knew the shooter in this case. today, there is a funeral going as we speak for an 83-year-old woman and her 50-year-old daughter who were victims of this serial killer and you mentioned the latest one, 15-year-old girl who died yesterday after fighting for two days. by the way, not too few away from here, less than two blocks away from the sheriff's department where investigators have gathered.

we are getting brand-new details in the former n.f.l. quarterback steve mcnair's death. they are calling it a homicide. he and a 20-year-old woman found dead. we are learning he had been shot several times including once in the head. woman died after a single gunshot wound. her death hasn't been classified but she has been identified as a friend of mcnair. investigators say a pistol was found near her body and they're not looking for any suspects. what does that tell you? now with the latest on the investigation. what have we learned about the relationship between these two? >> we learned a lot more. a press conference that wrapped up about 20 minutes ago. we know that mcnair and the

woman was had a dating relationship and had been for the past several months. we do not know what mcnair's wife michelle knew about number one the relationship or knew about the condominium downtown where the two bodies were found. condominium according to authorities was rented by mcnair allegedly and some of his friends. >> gregg: are police calling this a murder-suicide? >> they really stopped short of calling it that. mcnair died after homicide. he had two shots to the chest and two shots to the head. the woman had one shot to the head. her body was lying on a pistol, they believe it was used in the killings but still they have not ruled her death as suicide. listen to what the detectives had to say about that. >> she does have a single gunshot wound to the side of the

head, but there is more investigation required. we're going to be interviewing persons throughout the day today and probably for the next several days. there is also quite a bit of laboratory testing that is necessary, ballistics testing, tissue sample testing. a variety of things that have yet to be done. >> a ruling on her death, we're told, could take several more days. >> gregg: chris, thanks. >> julie: bad weather and disaster strike at a july the 4th celebration. a 30-year-old man was killed by lightning in an outdoor church party. 27 other people were rushed to the hospital, but they were not seriously hurt. janette joins us, hi there? >> thank you, julie and beautiful weather across much of the northeast. upper midwest and northern plains and quiet across the west

with the exception of a colorado rockies. thunderstorm watch is around denver. another area of concern is the deep south along a cold front. severe thunderstorm watch here until 9:00 p.m. eastern time. this is atlanta the main impact for the severe weather across the southeast, torrential downpours and high winds and isolated tornados. across the northeast tomorrow, it is going to be a gorgeous day for new york city and philadelphia but another storm system will be dropping south of canada. that bring forth wet weather from buffalo and boston. back to you, julie. >> julie: thank you so much. >> gregg: we had a couple twitter questions we want to pose. one of them is biden saying that the obama administration misread

how bad the u.s. economy was. do you believe that the white house has a strong handle on the magnitude of the economic situation? we wanted to hear from you. >> all you have to do twitter banderas or gregg jarrett. >> gregg: and what biden said and remember january when they took office, if you pass this stimulus plan, we're going to guarantee that unemployment, peak at the end of this year at 8%, it's already 9.5%. >> julie: and white house is saying it could reach 10. we'll have to wait and see. >> gregg: 4th of july celebration taking a tragic turn an explosion so powerful people miles away could feel it. we're going to have brand-new information on the deadly fireworks blast coming up.

>> taking a look at some of the stories, ousted president zeleya

faces arrest and faces demonstrations if he returns. they are trailing his plane to see what happens if it tries to land. train operator is dead after an overnight monorail collision at disney world. the county sheriff's office is investigating the crash. 25 people were injured when a foot bridge collapsed plunging 50 people into the lake below. the bridge was carrying twice as much weight as it was designed to. >> julie: big selling point for the stimulus package it would create new jobs but with the unemployment rate at a 26-year high, they are saying its failure. joe biden says they didn't grasp the magnitude of the recession. >> the truth is there was misreading of how bad the economy we inherited.

it's not our responsibility. the second question becomes, did the economic package we put in place, including the recovery act, is it the right package given the circumstances we're in. we believe it is the right package given the circumstances we're in. we misread how bad the economy was, but we are now only about 120 days in to the recovery package. >> julie: so does the white house have a handle on the problem. >> or sit back to the drawing board? let's bring in two congressmen, republican and democratic. david axelrod and says that the white house is prepared for a second stimulus package if necessary but they are going to wait until fall. then the vice president as we just heard that the administration misread how bad the economy was. congressman fleming let me go to you first, does do they have a handle on the magnitude of the

situation corlgs to you? >> well, i don't think so julie. the republicans in congress, not a single house member voted for this crazy stimulus package and only three seniors from the republican party did. one of those changed to the democratic party. this comes as no surprise to we republicans who are in congress. >> julie: congressman green, do you agree? >> i don't expect someone to say stimulus is going to work. the solution from my republican colleagues, to sit on on our hands i think it would have been worse. i have a copy of the houston kron catholic of the amount of the money, construction, highway construction had to go through competitive building, we're going see that money being spent over the summer to create those jobs and built our sflur. you can't build a bridge overnight you have to go by the states and local communities and

rules and regulations. think we're going to see some improve. i don't like 9.5% unemployment and those are those collecting those insurance. if you counted those that run out you are talking about 16% unemployment and that is outrageous. >> julie: they insist the stimulus plan is working despite the unemployment rate has risen to 9.5%. john boehner said where are the jobs. if the stimulus plan is working like robert gibbs says it is, where are they? >> jeimly, i have to disagree with my colleague. republicans had an alternative plan that would have cost half the money and created fweisz the jobs. it would have lowered tax rates for small businesses, for individuals. this economy would be up and going by now had we instituted that. that not single republican in the house voted for that. what really happened this

government has taken off the shelf 20 years of social programs that have been gathering dusted and put them to effect all in the name of improving the economy. >> julie: congressman, what i don't get, hopefully the worst job losses is behind us. then in the same breath, he actually says, he absolutely believes that number is definitely headed to 10%. so which sit that the worst is behind us or the worst is yet to come? do they know when the worst is finally going to come and when it's going to get better and why are they going to wait until fall? i feel like we're getting so many mixed messages, they are waiting to see what happens and don't have a better idea what is it going to happen in the future better than americans do? >> i think the white house and all of us, we're hoping what was done with the stimulus bill, the money gets out into the economy. we will see that the capping out of that unemployment.

warning we're not there yet but we're going to see the stimulus money, some of the contracts for the bridge construction in the state of texas are being let now. we will see that unemployment get better. but our incompetent is in tough shape and we need to do something. instead of sitting on our hands, at least the senate and house and president had a stimulus bill instead of more tax cuts, frankly i don't know how many folks you can hire with tax cuts. >> julie: congressman, is more the administration or congress to do right now or stop doing to get the economic ball rolling once again? >> as you recall the bill was introduced only hours before we voted on it. representative boehner threw the bill on the floor, saying was thousand pages that no one had read. same thing happened a week ago friday.

so what is happening, these extremely extensive programs are all being passed one after another without any republican cooperation, all in the name of improving our economy. as you well pointed out our economy is worse than ever. if we did nothing, the economy would be improving at this rate or better organically. >> julie: thank you for talking to us. >> gregg: some tweets on the subject. i'm not sure that they meaning the administration concerned with the economy, only the opportunity it presented to advance their agenda. i presume that means social agenda. obama thinks she captain kirk and make it so and everything will happen as he wishes, totally clueless. finally, i believe the white house doesn't really have a strong handle on anything. they are trying to do too much

at once. >> julie: my followers, joey writes, try a simple answer, hell no. no way, they don't have a clue and can't buys one now they have spent all the money. >> gregg: keep the tweets coming in the meantime, deadly accident in florida's magic kingdom, we're going to tell you what investigators know so far about that crash.

>> julie: it's the bottom of the

hour, time for top of the news, president obama leaving in the next four p few hours to russia. he is scheduled to meet with dmitry medvedev tomorrow the meeting will end the seven year break in u.s.-russian talks. >> gregg: search teams may have found signal boxes to the plane that crashed last week. it went off the indian ocean off the comoros islands. >> julie: and it's confirmed steve mcnair was, indeed, murdered. mcnair was found shot to death yesterday, shot multiple times with a 20-year-old woman inside a condo in nashville. >> gregg: monorail shut down at disney world following a deadly crash. they collided overnight killing one train operator. emergency crews took the other conductor to the hospital for emotional distress.

five got treated at the scene. county sheriff is investigating the cause of that accident. >> julie: thousands of michael jackson fans finding out if they received tickets to his memorial service. event will be held on tuesday at the staples center in los angeles. more than a million tickets were applied for online but only about 8700 were randomly selected. people will be getting an e-mail. investigators are focusing on five doctors who may have prescribed drugs that contributed to the singer's death. casey is live in los angeles. regarding the memorial service on tuesday, what is going to happen once people are notified whether or not they won? >> you were talking about the e-mails. that is what is happening today. people are receiving a special e-mail if they have been randomly chosen to by the computer to attend. what is going to happen, tomorrow all of them are going to go to one single location in

los angeles where they are going to pick up their wristband and tickets. here is what gets confusing. wristbands are very important, the wrrns have to go in person and -- winners have. >> will be put wristbands on their arms. whoever name is chosen by the computer. they to have attend and whatever they choose to do with the secretary ticket is up to them. we have heard reports of skal mg going on with this. >> julie: i can imagine, scalping and much more. weird stuff on the internet for people to go see this thing. what is this going to have on downtown l.a.? i imagine it's going to be a mess. >> that might be an understatement. some of the police we talked to and some of the city council we talked to it could cripple downtown los angeles apparently

when you consider l.a. is the second largest city in the country. it's about half a million people work in downtown los angeles. the area that is going to be blocked off to traffic is about 27 acres and it has 25,000 parking spots just in that zone. you can imagine the impact it's going to have all the folks that work down here, corporate headquarters, a lot of streets will be blocked off. police held a press conference saying if you don't have a ticket, you're not going to be able to see the staples center from where they have this quarantined area set up. they are advising everyone to stay at home and watch it from the comfort of your living room. >> julie: something tells me they aren't going to listen to all that. >> gregg: a fireworks ex flows north carolina has claimed another life. a third worker has died from injuries from the explosion on an island, a remote island on the outer banks of north carolina. two other workers still hospitalized this hour.

authorities say all five of the workers were unload ago truck of fireworks for 4th of july show when suddenly it exploded shaking businesses and homes nearby. federal agents have joined in the investigation to try to figure out what set off that deadly blast. >> julie: moving on to another story. let's move forward. i'm going to go ahead and find it. i will. brand-new details on a bridge collapse in indiana last night. an official says the pedestrian bridge was overcrowded to about twice its capacity before giving way sending about on people into the water. about 25 were injured. at least fwof them seriously. this happened in the town of mereville. the bridge was crammed with people coming home after watching fireworks. >> gregg: marion barry in trouble with the law again. police busting and a

councilmember on charges, stalking a woman in a washington park on saturday. z a little different from the other five. laura ingle is more on that. >> reporter: marion barry's spokeswoman held a news conference a short while ago in washington, d.c. to let the public know that barry is denying the charge of stalking and called this, a sad and troubling day for barry, his family, friend and colleagues. the former mayor was taken into custody while driving through a park in the nation's capital. park police officers say they have been flagged down by a woman in a vehicle that a man in another car was stalking her. after questioning the two separately, the officers apparently had was enough to charge him with miss zmeern count of stalking and let him go. he'll have to hear the charges

from consumer reports. good to see you. you ranked the iphone better than the prix and why? >> the iphone, the 3-g. >> gregg: hold it up here go ahead. >> it has the best display by far of any phone we've tested. no one comes close but they have improved in other areas, in phoning and certain features that are very important to smart phone users, messaging and web browsing and moving from one application to another. it does really well. >> gregg: where is the key would board? >> it's virtual. this is available to all iphone users because of operating system upgrade, they have added something called spotlight search. when you can just start typing

anything and it will check the entire iphone for say paul, it will look for songs, it will look for context, calendar appointments in an instant. >> gregg: what about copying and pasting documents? >> that is another feature for the iphone by cutting and pasting. >> gregg: tells us what is good about the prix? >> it's a bold new step for palm. one of the interesting features, it's a brilliant multi-tasker. it has a new interface. but one of the great things, it let's you run multiple applications at once. everything is like a deck of cards. if you want to check an application or a problem sometimes or other things, all you do is flip it and it's very easy. >> gregg: which is faster? >> the new iphone is very fast. >> gregg: what about the voice

quality? >> this is where all smart phones, they are fair and a typical conventional phone will have good voice quality, sometimes better and messaging, they rail do a great job of integrating a lot of text messages, e-mail and so forth. >> gregg: you mentioned the multi-tasking because it's so very important for everybody? >> again, many smartphones including older palms, if you are on web and you want to answer a call you have to close the application. where the palm prix you can do it like a deck of cards. say if you are in the middle of a web page, put it aside and go back. >> gregg: this is julie's blackberry, this is a bold. >> they do very well. the bold did better than the

palm. >> ran out of windex here. >> it's a world phone, you can it's by at&t. >> gregg: check out consumer reports. >> one thing we have improved our ratings so you can see what sets these phones apart. >> gregg: everybody has to have one. mike, thank you so much for being with us. >> julie: i used blackberry when i get my hair done, so that is the excuse. important advice before you head out into the sun, that's next.

we're pretty much the same. pur. good, clean water. >> julie: with an august 8th

deadline looj, congress is expected to charge in the health care debate. but if you ask americans who are still not entirely convinced about the new health care reform plans on the table, a new poll shows them evenly divided. 50% say they somewhat favor it. 34% say they are strongly oppose dz and 45% somewhat opposed. joining us and other hot topics is scott rasmussen. so what does that tell you? >> right now, people on the republican side of the i'll, they say it's terrible. democrats say we love it. the debate is closely divided and reason is simple. americans like the idea of health care reform. they think something needs to be done but they are afraid what will do with their own coverage.

12% expect if something passes their coverage will improve. 37% say if reform is passed their coverage will get worse. those are people that have insurance now and think they'll be forced to change. >> julie: i remember many months ago you did an interesting poll on what we should do about congress because the approval ratings were so low. you had a very large majority said start from scratch. is their approval rating any better now? >> 18% say that congress is doing a good or excellent job. that is up from single digits at the end of last year. it's down from 23% a month ago. if you want to put a bigger perspective, it's just about the same as it was when the democrats took control of congress in the fall of 2006. >> julie: 18% is not so good of a number. >> it's congress. >> julie: what about capital corruption, to lawmakers cheat on their spouses, what do they think and their ability to

thinking. you have no idea. >> julie: i do. >> gregg: i suspected serial killer suspected to be on the loose. all the victims were killed in a small part of the rural state. how police are hoping to track the inspect down. the doctor diagnosed arthritis in my right knee. but with aleve, i don't have to worry about my knees hurting. only two aleve can stop pain all day. that would take three times as many tylenol arthritis pain. aleve works for me.

t. where did my goat go? well, it went to a family who really needed it. just like the heifer cow i used to have, and the water buffalo-- which was really too big for my place anyway. but why send livestock? why not...tractors? because giving an animal is like giving someone a small business-- all that wool, the milk, the eggs... turn into income ... for medicine, school, clothing, a better home, a sustainable livelihood. it even produces... fertilizer for crops. and of course, it makes more livestock ... 'cause animals make baby animals - that's what they do. next thing you know, the family you gave your gift to is "passing on the gift" of the animal's offspring to another family who does the same thing... and so on and so on until, pretty soon, you've helped

lift an entire community out of poverty. all with your gift to heifer international. that is a recipe for lasting change. captioning by, closed captioning services, inc. >> gregg: i'm gregg jarrett. >> julie: i'm julie bandaras, welcome to a new hour of america's news headquarters. as mayor of the nation's

1:00 a.m. in moscow and it is... what the security service says, there will be tens of thousands of uniformed and plain clothes army and police on the streets. and they'll be doing passport checks and i.d. checks and since all the state-run media here is basically in control of the message, about the obama visit, they are not really expecting or talking about enthusiastic demonstrations and public adoration or support of president obama, they are apologizing in advance for any inconveniences these security services will impose on the ordinary citizens here in moscow and, pravda, one of the main newspapers, controlled by the state is digs approving the president will be staying at the ritz carlton hotel and pointing out the president's suite is a five bedroom suite at the ritz-carlton costing more than $13,000 a night and the bathroom will be tiled with marble and a shower in which the president can take a tropical-time shower and not exactly the kind of

sentiment welcoming him here, a bit on the critical side. julie. >> julie: even before the summit the u.s. and russia made a deal that will help mr. obama's military push in afghanistan and what is that? >> reporter: well, this is probably, julie, going to be one of the few, possibly the only substantive agreement these two countries will reform at the two-day summit in moscow, as -- already agreed upon by both sides and more or less confirmed willed be announced as part of a signatory deal tomorrow or tuesday and the russia government is allowing the u.s. military to have dmrflyover rig, to move military equipment into the theatre in afghanistan and will get personnel and equipment there and this is one signal of a softening relations in the two countries. >> julie: major garrett, live from moscow, russia. >> gregg: sarah palin lashing out at critics in washington and

what is the media saying on her facebook page, feeding false information about her decision to design, about a year-and-a-half left on her term and she may take on a national role in the future, and even members of her own party, say, they and your cloo on how resigning would help her -- unclear on how resigning would help her reach the goal and they are unclear why she is resigning to begin with. >> reporter: yes, alaska's lieutenant governor, sean parnell is one of her defenders and said he didn't find out she was resigning until 48 hours before making the announcement he said, palin now will have time to figure out how to, quote, further her core values. and he says he thinks sarah palin was looking out for alaskans when she decided to step down. >> what i heard from the governor, really, had to do with the weight on her and the concern that she had for the costs, all of the ethics

investigations and the likes, that weighed on her with respect to her inability to just move forward, alaska's agenda on behalf of alaskans in the current context of the environment. >> reporter: there was much speculation whether there is another shoe to drop and maybe a looming scandal prompting her decision. and palin addressed that on her facebook page, saying, quoted, how sad that washington and the media will never understand, it is about country. and though it's honorable for countless others to leave their positions for a higher calling, and without finishing a term, of course, we know by now, for some reason, a different standard applies for the decisions i make. but even so her republican supporters say it is a risky move that will not stop the media attention and will not give her the protection of a day job while deciding whether or not to make a presidential run. >> she has the excuse of being -- saying i'm the governor and i have things i have to done and

now people will be clamoring for it and the expectations will be out of sight. >> reporter: she tweeted this morning, to her supporters saying, quote, critics are spinning so hang in there, if they feed false info on the right decision made. >> gregg: molly henneberg live, and looking at the tweets and the e-mails say if he's fighting the criticism as she was getting as governor of alaska how could she weather the firestorm as president of the u.s. and most of the tweets say just that, it is consistent. >> julie: and how will she weather the criticism she'll get for quitting midterm. >> gregg: and the democrats have hung the moniker around her next and the initial statement after announcing her resignation and join us tonight, a fox news channel special, governor sarah palin, an american woman and guests will include her successor, lieutenant governor, sean parnell and mike huckabee and fox news political analyst karl rove on the fox news

his friends were allegedly renting, the condo where the two bodies were discovered yesterday. >> julie: are police yet calling it a murder-suicide? >> reporter: you know, they are the not ready to do that, yet, julie, though all indications are that that is probably what it is. we know as you said, mcnair, is definitely a homicide, shot twice in the chest and twice in the head and kazemi found lying on the floor with one gunshot wound to the head and beneath her body, authorities recovered a pistol but they are not ready yet to list it as a suicide. >> she has a single gunshot wound to the side of the head but there is more investigation required and we'll be interviewing persons throughout the day today and probably for the next several days, and also quite a bit of laboratory testing that is necessary, ballistics testing and tissue sample testing from the medical examiner's office, a variety of things that have yet to be done. >> reporter: needless to say it

could take several days before they officially classify her death. >> julie: is there any other word, anybody else could have been involved and i imagine everybody in the community is talking. how are they reacting? >> reporter: you know, the community is shocked. right now, we know no other people -- there are no other suspects out there according to police and are waiting on the ballistic testing as to put the pieces of the puzzle together but as far as the fan reaction, don't forget, he was a legendary sports hero in nashville and the first quarterback with the titans and led the team to the first and only super bowl appearance, a co-mvp of the league back in 2003, with a three time pro bowler and a big sports guy figure here in nashville and they are shocked and saddened to hear of his untimely death. >> julie: thank you very much, a sad story. gregg. >> gregg: another one, the town of gaffney, south carolina under siege, as a manhunt intensified for a serial killer. police released this sketch of the murder suspect, and the description of the car he may have used, after shooting his

>> gregg: what about this victims? did they know one another? is there a thread there? >> reporter: police are saying they don't believe they necessarily knew each other or any of them knew the suspects, we are learning more about the victims and one as you said the 15-year-old, beautiful girl, abbey tyler, killed along with her father, at their family furniture store which is less than a couple of blocks from the sheriffs department, where more than 100 investigators gathered to launch the manhunt. and, a very disturbing thing to a lot of people because they feel the killer could strike at any time and again it goes back to people taking precautions and trying to be prepared, for angle. >> gregg: and the investigation itself, a manhunt for the suspect, any progress at all, any clues? >> reporter: well, i did speak to a couple of investigators, earlier and they said while they are concentrating the man hunt in the gaffney area, they haven't ruled out anything, it includes the entire state of south carolina, but, for that matter they want everybody to take look at that sketch, of the

man they believe to be in his 40s, white man, around 6 ft.200 pounds and also told us they believe he's driving a two door ford explorer, gray or champagne in color and are hoping that will jog somebody's memory that somebody may know who the person is and will provide clues but they are getting tips all the time. >> gregg: mary ann silber, live in gaffney, south carolina, thanks. >> julie: a hunt for an escaped killer, the man police are looking for, 29-year-old, eric adams, may have been spotted last night by a security guard, at a milwaukee club, and adams has been on the run since friday, and authorities say he simply walked out through an unlocked door at a kenosha correctional center and has made people in the neighborhood very concerned and brian cummings has more from milwaukee. >> reporter: this is the kenosha correctional center, and a minimum security facility with no barbed wire or perimeter fence and eric adams was moved

here because of good behavior, and he was talking on his cell phone in his room. and the department of corrections spokesman, john ditko said when officers approached him he ran out through an unlocked door. and the big concern, for many parents. >> you would think they'd let other people in the area know especially since there are kids playing in the park here. >> reporter: and she says inmates have escaped from here before. >> i have been around when the cops were looking for them and technology everyone to stay in their homes. >> reporter: and william bush cannot believe they built a school across the street. >> the situation is not secure, and this is a minimum security prison, and all you have to do is walk away. >> reporter: though adams has not technically lived here in milwaukee for the past ten years, residents in his old neighborhood are a little concerned, that he may return. >> scary, because, we have kids. >> reporter: she and her family moved to the neighborhood, near

adams' last known address and she and her husband always make sure their kids are safe. >> every night, he walks through the house to make sure that the doors are locked, the windows are closed, and locked. >> reporter: from now on, she'll be looking out for adams. >>y i mean, i will not be paranoid about it and i will not freak my kids out about it but i am going to, you know, be vigilant. >> reporter: brian cummings from our fox afilm yet, witi and he was -- affiliate, witi and officials said he earned the privilege at the minimum security prison because of good behavior. >> gregg: michael jackson, his fans find out by e-mail whether they won an on-line lottery for the tickets, for the memorial service and the event will be tuesday, at the staples center, downtown los angeles and 1.5 million people requested the tickets. less than 9,000, actually will get to see it. and casey steegel is live in los angeles with more. hi, casey.

>> reporter: hi, gregg, keep in mind while the memorial is planned at the staples center behind me, investigators here in los angeles are still hard at work trying to get to the bottom of what killed the king of pop, we have not had an official cause of death, just yet and also, you have to understand, there are two court battles that are brewing here, one, in terms of the custody over michael jackson's three children and the second, is over the custody of his estate and we are expecting the judge to make some time of a ruling tomorrow on who gets temporary custody of that estate, valued at more than $500 million. according to jackson's will. we are still waiting on the the toxicology reports to see what prescription he was taking and if they killed him. the dea is also interviewing all of his doctors, the state attorney general is involved with the investigation, as well. in the meantime, they are hoping to -- scalpers hoping to make a quick buck are posting things on ebay and craigslist offering up

to $5,000 for tickets and the organizers though memorial say there is no way of controlling what people decide to do with their second tickets, remember, each winner gets two. and aeg hoping people will not want to attend the event alone and officials set it up where people can the not sell both tickets, and the winners are going to be picking everything up in person and then a wrist band will be placed on their arms at that time. now, as far as the logistics go, we have been talk about this all day, a little bit like a broken record. but, los angeles is this second largest city in the country. downtown is home to an awful lot of, corporations and businesses and roughly 27 acres are going to be sealed off, around the staples center, and a lot of streets will be closed and traffic will be rerouted and a half million people work in downtown los angeles, it is not happening on a weekend, as we know, a tuesday morning and it will be interesting see what happens and some of the police are saying folks who do not have a wrist band, gregg will not

even be able to see the staples center from the perimeter, and are asking folks to stay away but there will be a lot of press here, no doubt about that and we are all getting our rise,in place and a meeting underway now to work out the logistics with the national press, because you have press from all over the world that will be covering it on tuesday. >> gregg: big event, casey steegel live in los angeles, thanks. >> julie: here's where you come in, we want to know what you think, if it is proven, a drug overdose caused his death, should some or all of the five jackson doctors treating the king of pop be held criminally responsible? tweet us at twitter.com/juliebandaras or twitter.com/gregg jarrett and independent '02 writes, take this doctors down, how many times we have seen stories about a celebrity getting drugs they shouldn't have. and more of your tweets, a little later. >> gregg: if he did of the drug and they can trace to it a doctor or aen anybody, anybody, you are looking at manslaughter

charges. >> julie: we'll debate that with our legal panel, coming up. >> gregg: that's right. >> julie: two superpower leaders prepared to talk and president barack obama and his russian counterpart, dmitry medvedev will meet in moscow and what do they hope to accomplish, we'll talk to an expert for a preview of their meeting, next. diarrhea just stops me.

>> julie: let's look at some of the stories making headlines for you now, opposition leader, publishing a dossier accusing supporters offing or straighting mass election fraud and the disputed election in iran sparking two weeks of often violent protests. >> gregg: president obama heading to moscow to help reset american relations with russia, bilateral relations, in the post cold war low during the previous administration. >> julie: mail terry demanders in afghanistan -- military commanders in afghanistan, telling marines to beware of the calm before the storm. making their way to a strong hold in the hellman province. >> gregg: the president's trip, week long, will take him to ghana and russia and it tele,

but first off to moscow where the main topic of discussion will likely be nuclear weapons. and, this current tense relations between russia and the west, we are joined by pulitzer prize winning columnist michael goodwin to tell us what president obama hopes to accomplish there. look, the missile defense system, that we have been planning, to deploy in poland and the czech republic, are obviously something the russians don't want and vigorously oppose that and you think the president will regard that as negotiable with putin and the president of russia as well? >> well, admiral mullens said earlier today on fox, that the u.s. was conducting a review of the missile shield plan for the czech republic and poland and no determination had been reached and clearly, president obama is not in love with it but he has not scrapped it yet, either, so i think it is unlikely that the

president would wants to negotiate that away, just yet, until he makes up his own mind. >> gregg: what about the russian proposal to install u.s. missile defense components on russian soil aimed at deterring threats from iran and north korea? >> well, look that is probably going to be part of the review, to consider other options. the u.s. has under president bush and under president obama invited russia to participate, to give them information so they don't feel flet ethreatened by and they are there to protect our allies, and it could be iran and perhaps north korea but it could be anybody and it is clearly a nato-friendly alliance we are talking about and russia is not part of nato. >> gregg: well, the president would obviously like to have progress on reducing strategic nuclear warheads to 1300, for each side. are you concerned that there may

be a connection, in other words, he might want to give away some on that, in exchanges for the deployment of the missile defense shields. >> i am. i do believe, gregg, that is one of the concerns that a lot of americans have, and the president made very clear that he wants to sort of denuclearize the world and the problem with that is we won the cold war and in part of our military and nuclear spear yortd auperiority give it away to russia in a negotiation now i'm not sure what we'll do about china and the other emerging nuclear threats around the world. president obama calls himself a pragmatist and will be a big test of whether he really is a pragmatist or whether he has an ideology or idealism about nuclear weapons that could get tangled up in the real world politics of what is going on in rouge with medvedev and putin, and it is not clear who is calling the shots and i don't think it is the time to go for a

home run. >> gregg: putin calling the shots, a couple of hours ago he urged the u.s. to move the relations forward by shelving the plan, for the eastern european deployment of the missile shields system. but, let me ask you about iran. the russians were sufficiently motivated, if they were motivated they could make an effort at least to do something about iranian nukes. is that on the table and will any progress be made on there? i'm skeptical. >> most of us are and russia has not been representful would you iran and quotations from government officials in moscow saying essentially america is obsessed with the nuclear weapons of iran and we'll have to get over it, basically. that is not an encouraging sign but one encouraging sign i would noted, however, is russia apparently agreed to allow american military to ship material and perhaps troops through russian soil, and no doubt they'll be for use in afghanistan and no doubt will

charge us an arm and a leg but also have a vested interest, of course, that -- afghanistan was one of the last bad chapters of the soviet empires and don't want to see the taliban retake afghanistan and we do have shared concerns about terrorism and shared goals and i would like to see, most of us would like to see it extended to iran which is the greatest threat. >> gregg: i think they could do something about it if they put their minds to it. >> absolutely, yes. >> gregg: michael goodwin, new york daily news, good to see you. >> thank you. >> julie: the former mayor of washington, d.c. is in trouble with at the law again, marion barry served time for drug possession, and he pleaded guilty to tax charges, and we'll tell you his explanation of his latest problems, next. for my credit card. here's one from my prom. oh, what memories. how 'bout one from our golf outing?

>> julie: the bottom of the hour, time for the top of the news, president obama departing for his very first visit to moscow tonight. he'll be meeting with his russian counterpart, dmitry medvedev to discuss nuclear arms

and the future of u.s.-russian relations. >> gregg: and president manuel zeleya is attempting to fly back to the island, he was ousted in you a coup a week ago, and his plane, if it is refused landing in honduras the flight will divert to a neighboring country. >> julie: and u.s. marines have the first meeting today with village elders in a southern province of afghanistan. the -- and american forces are there to protect them from taliban insurgents. >> gregg: former washington, d.c. mayor marion barry is denying any wrongdoing after the latest encounter with the law and got busted last night, charged this time with stalking. he of course has a history of legal woes including prison for cocaine possession and we are joined live in the newsroom with more on the story. hi, laura. >> reporter: the woman accused him, identified as donna watts by barry's spokesperson was apparently a friend of the

washington councilman and someone he had lunch with he said earlier in the day which is why barry's camp says the charge of stalking is troubling and barry, will apparently cite the charges according to the spokeswoman who went onto say the at the news conference, he helped the 40-year-old accuser financially for what she called various stages of instability in the accuser's life. >> he considered her a very close friend and so, which is why today he feels quite betrayed by her actions. >> reporter: the former d.c. mayor was taken into custody last night while driving through a park in the nation's capitol and park police officers say they were flagged down by a woman in a vehicle who said a man in another car was stalking her and he was questioned, arrest and released and of course, now we know today it was marion barry and he has had several legal run ins and many remember the most high profile case when the long time politician was busted in 1990 in

a hotel room after being caught on surveillance tape, smoking crack cocaine during and fbi sting and ended up doing 6 months in prison and was later reelected to -- as mayor in 19 the 4 for a four year earp -- 1994 and was arrested in 2002 when pot an cocaine were found in his room and she claimed he was set up and it is not over yet and the stalking charges, we'll hear from barry himself tomorrow and he has planned a 10:00 a.m. news conference in washington, more to come. gregg. >> gregg: thanks. >> julie: when you think you have heard the last of cynthia mckinney, think again, the former controversial congresswoman from georgia, spending her 4th of july, holiday, guess what? in an israeli jail. yep, she's behind bars. in israel. she arrested by the israeli navy, we're told after she -- where did we get the picture, it is the most unflattering picture. >> gregg: this is not the picture of her when she got

busted. >> julie: i don't think so, there is video, instead. and after she and a group apparently tried to enter gaza with supplies and mckinleyy of course ran for president last year, with the -- as a green party candidate and she was defeated for re-election to the house in 2006 and not long after she was accused of punching a capital police officer, who mistook her for a tourist. >> gregg: she has a mean right hook, remember that. >> julie: and pointedy finger. >> gregg: mama always said... journ and george w. bush celebrated yesterday in oklahoma, and he sounds like the former first lady beat him to it and on his first day home after leaving office he said i'm free at last. >> she said, yeah, are free to take out the garbage! and free to mow the lawn and i said, wait a minute you talking to the former president and she

said, consider that your new domestic policy agenda! >> gregg: pretty good, the former president told the enthusiastic crowd there they live in one of the -- quote the greatest nation on the face of the earth and thanked members of the military for their service. >> julie: u.s. carmakers spent the past year begging washington for money and backing the warm blanket of bankruptcy protection and a funny thing is happening, north and south of the u.s. new numbers show major carmakers like ford and gm are seeing sales grow, even thrive at places like canada and latin america, and what does it tell us about the u.s. economy and america's economic recovery overall? jonathan hoenig is a portfolio manager for capitalistpig.com and great to have you on as always and you say don't think the companies are thriving anywhere but i mean, for the first time in more than half a century, canadians bought more fords than gm vehicles last month, and so, canada's doing

something right. i mean, what are they doing we aren't and why they're car companies thriving in places like canada and not here. >> julie, they are -- they aren't thriving, they would say they are out performing and canada's economien general is doing better than our in the u.s. and their unemployment rate 8.4%, a personal point lower than ours, in the u.s. but some car companies are doing well and ford's june sales up 24%, in canada, and that is encouraging and the problem is, at the same time, january's sales were down -- gm's sales were down 31% and there is give and take and similar numbers out of mexico. actually, at gm, their sales up 3% in mexico, and i tell you, the thing the companies have going for them, really the world around, is essentially they don't have that kind of clunker image, the clunker rap, that is unfortunately, a lot of the domestic car companies have in the u.s., and a lot of americans prefer to buy foreign cars and you don't see that as much in

mexico and canada, where gm and ford are really the dominant automobiles sold in those countries. >> julie: latin america -- latin america gm is doing well and brazil gm actually built a powerhouse operation where the fuel efficient vehicles could play a crucial role in returning the batteried company to health and fuel efficient role and you would think they'd play it here in the u.s. because that is what americans want to see but for some reason it is working in brazil. will it work here. >> right. well, it is going to work there, but, most likely, those automobiles will be manufactured down there, and that is a benefit for all -- you know, julie, a lot of the low cost manufacturing we enjoy here, is from the finished cars and the finished products and it means it is manufactured south of the border. so, you will continue to see big investments in brazil, in mexico, in automobile manufacturing, especially for general motors, even if the company is in bankruptcy, they are still planning to move ahead

with substantial investments. you no, the hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars in terms of manufacturing south of the border and this spirit of globalization is not going away any time soon and gm, ford, they are truly multinational car companies and not just domestic names anymore. >> julie: when will we see gm for example turn profit here in the u.s.? i mean, gm is actually closing more north american factories, and so many workers are being laid off. they are having to slash u.s. dealerships here, and, they are thriving in the meantime in latin america and there has to be a way for major car companies to bring their successes, south of the border, north of the border in into the u.s., because they are essential in helping revive our economy are they not? >> well, they are important, i don't know if i would say essential. like, studebaker were an essential to the prosperity and growth of the u.s., but, there is no way around it and it us a painful process and ford, not in

bankruptcy and gm is. and, it is, you know, right in the middle of it now and is a very painful process for the dealers and the employees, and even for the customers of course, who have been uncertain about what models will be discontinued and what brands will continue, and this is an ongoing process and just happened a couple of weeks ago, and we can hop by at least, more towards the end of the summer and maybe early fall, we'll have a better sense of just what the new gm is going to look like, for the consumer and the investor as well. >> julie: jonathan hoenig, thank you very much. great to have you on. >> thanks, julie. >> gregg: there is something fishy going on in new england. a rash of colorful lobsters seem to be surfacing, all over the place. take a look. colorful, look at these and experts say lobsters of this variety are one in 30 million rarity, an orange-yellow. >> julie: it looks like it is already cooked. >> gregg: the past couple of weeks, one boston aquarium has gotten reports of a dozen of

these little critters. and in fact there seems to be a lobster in york, maine that has two of the crustaceans, and the owner says these rare lobsters are not for sale and when i was going to get out this steamer pot and pour in water and melt butter... >> julie: no! i love lobster, but, i don't like to watch them get cooked. and the 11 year domination of the world championship, there is such a thing as this: oh, man, finland took the gold in the annual wife-carrying competition and why would they do it to themselves and the husband-wife team must race through a 273-yard track and features two hurdles in a swimming pool and was in period by the legend of a local thug, and lived in the forest and would snatch food and sometimes

ladies from villages in the region. >> gregg: whoa! >> julie: that's a strong guy there. >> gregg: my lower back hurts looking at this you one, since you are getting engaged, look what you have to look forward to. >> julie: what an your wedding day when you got to your honeymoon destination. >> gregg: we never had a honeymoon. >> julie: you sort of did, but booked the wrong flight. >> gregg: spent the night in the hospital. >> julie: eventually on your hospital, did you carry her over the threshold, do they still do that, guys? >> gregg: my wife spent our wedding night on a gurney. at the local hospital. she broke out in hives. >> julie: he was in the hospital, the emergency room with his wife in her wedding dress while the rest of your guests were partying at the reception and she had a face that was about this big. >> gregg: yeah, about the size of a buick. >> julie: and you went on your honeymoon your wife booked the trip but unfortunately it was the wrong country. >> gregg: isn't it great i always wanted to go to an going

la and i said, honey, check the ticket. antigua. on the plane! >> julie: i have to say -- and i'm glad the entire world knows now. moving on. >> julie: and diprivan is so strong you are not supposed to take any without oxygen and cpr immediately available and all kinds of machinery and large amounts of it were found inside michael jackson's home and authorities want to talk to the at least five docs responsible for treating him, and the person who gave him the drug, could they face criminal charges? if you're like a lot of people,

you have high blood pressure... and you have high cholesterol. you've taken steps to try and lower both your numbers. but how close are you to your goals? there may be more you can do. only caduet combines two proven medicines... in a single pill to significantly lower... high blood pressure and high cholesterol. in a clinical study of patients... with slightly elevated blood pressure and cholesterol, caduet helped 48% reach both goals in just 4 weeks. caduet is one of many treatment options, in addition to diet and exercise... that you can discuss with your doctor. caduet is not for everyone. it's not for people with liver problems... and women who are nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant. to check for liver problems, you need simple blood tests. tell your doctor about any heart problems... >> . >>you >> i was elite company,

the machine gunfire started and i realized... i was frustrated at how we'd do anything with that machine gun and i lost my platoon leaders and the guys, laid in on the gun and stayed on it. i wish i could have given my life to every one of them. >> julie: investigators are now trying to figure out who gave michael jackson some very powerful sedatives, numerous

bottles of diprivan were found inside the singer's home, and the drug typically used in hospitals by people trained to administer anesthesia. >> gregg: and investigators are focusing on five doctors who prescribed drugs to the self-styled pop legend and how will they figure out who gave what to michael jackson and if police will charge the person who did it. >> and put on your prosecutor hat, here, because, if they can connect -- if he died of diprivan and can connect it to a doctor, what is this charge, manslaughter. >> actually gregg i would say no, i wouldn't say it was manslaughter but let me back up for a second. >> gregg: what in the world would it be. >> it is interesting. i'll tell you, i have to start at point a, though, first of all, michael jab son was a -- allegedly asking a nurse, who cannot prescribe drugs for the diprivan in may and apparently, whatever

doctor he had, you know on the payroll or whatever you want to say, at that point, no one was willing to give it to him, if he is going a nurse for it and then gets the new doctor, conrad murray who is living with him, two weeks prior to his death and was the doctor who was there, who allegedly administered cpr, at the time that he became nonresponsive, and in any event, i think the focus is perhaps going to shift from dr. mur -- to dr. murray who dispensed it to mj and if he did give to it him, i don't think it will be manslaughter. it is either going to be what anna nick comb smith's doctors were charged with which was administering a controlled substance to a drug addict or -- >> gregg: that is manslaughter. >> or -- >> david on the label of diprivan it says equipment, for supplemental oxygen and cardiopulmonary resuscitation must be immediately available, and it is unclear whether any of the equipment was in jackson's home. so, the doctor who was there, conrad murray, if he indeed was

there at the time which whee know he was and he was responsible for administering the drug should he be held for medical malpractice and gregg jarrett thinks so and i'm not a lawyer but i would say yes. >> malpractice is the least of his concerns, julie. this is' huge problem we have here is if it is a case and it can be proven he administered the diprivan shortly before his death and jackson died as a result of the it, that is a big leap and don't have it but if that is proven, all involuntary manslaughter is a commission without due care, resulting in death and there you have it, you've got it and they have huge responsibilities, these doctors and have to cross-check prescription, ones they are giving to make sure there is not a toxic combination and have to actually have a face-to-face relationship with jackson and they have a diagnose an illness, no just give it to him because it makes him feel better and all five doctors have huge troubles.

>> gregg: let me, in fairness to the doctor, conrad murray denies it through his attorney, so, i wanted to be clear, he denies that, there is a big "if" if you can make a connection. it could have been another doctor, and in fact five doctors, they've identified as giving drugs to michael jackson. but, look, if each of the doctors didn't know that there were other doctors, involved, giving drugs, what then? >> that is an excellent point, gregg and in fact what will take it out of the criminal realm. if jackson is going to all of these different doctors and deceiving all of them, and you know, telling one, one thing and another another and he surreptitiously is getting different prescriptions from them, how can they be charged criminally and though there is this database uncalifornia, that -- the kcures, interest is a lot of complaint about slow response time and doctors trying to get information about other controlled substances, and patients are being prescribed. >> julie: david, deep pro van --

>> i'm sorry, i want to get to david before rerurn run out of time, diprivan is an extremely potent drug and should not be used, period. okay? dr. conrad murray was a doctor, in the home and there were numerous bottles of diprivan found and some with no labels at all. my question, first of all, how were investigators going to figure out who prescribed what, and, then, how do they prosecute. >> well, tell you what, they take a page out of the anna nicole defense, there, too, because a lot of the labels were not placed on the prescription bottles to avoid the paparazzi finding out what is going on and there is no section in the penal code for paparazzi finding out about drugs, to provide that as a defense in a criminal case and that will not work, and if they show he provided diprivan without the appropriate checks and balances, and without the appropriate counteracting drugs, dr. murray will have a huge, huge problem on his hands, and i think it is -- >> gregg: out of time, guys,

thanks so much. >> julie: and listen up, moving on, worshipers, sun worshipers we have a warning for you. you will have to stay tuned to find out what it is, next. p noooo ! is he alright ? poor guy's in a dead zone... can't update facebook... twitter's timing out...

youtube's super-slow. it's so frustrating! i had that... until i switched to verizon. you've got 3g all over.

get america's largest 3g netwo >> gregg: welcome back, outside of -- in new york it is a wonderful day and we're all aware of the dangers of too much of that stuff, too much sun exposure and why we slather on the sunscreen at the beach and the pool and minimize the time we spend outdoors. on hot days. >> julie: did you know, medications and even perfumes can increase sun damage, wrinkles and even actually raise this risk of skin cancer? fox medical contributor dr. marc siegel joins us outside here, on a beautiful afternoon, by the way, outside here in new york, with interesting information. okay. so what is it be put into our

bodies, food, that actually will raise the risk of skin cancer. >> we really have to watch out for that, because it is not just slathering on the sunscreen and lime, lemon, citrus foods, celery, you eat a lot of celery you get more sun sense stiff and you cannot predict it but, you can get photo toxicity and you have damage to the skin and you are more easily sun burned and will lead to more skin cancer. >> gregg: parsley and parsnips and i hate them, does anybody like parsnips? oh, come on! nobody likes parsnips! >> this crowd got a lot of sun today and they better watch what they eat. >> julie: interesting you mentioned limes, a lot of people are sipping margueritas by the pool. >> but there is ay caveat, it is mainly the lime peel and eating and drinking a margarita and having a lime drink is not the main problem, when do you the

lime peel or -- that is the worst risk and you'll fry with a lime peel. >> gregg: there are drugs, i proeven. >> -- ibuprofen. >> and benedryl, sunscreen, you know, and i should mention, two types, not only can you damage the skin but you can have an allergy to it. and that happens, too, will happen even without the medication, because, medication makes it more likely and take an antibiotic or advil, aleve, a diuretic. >> gregg: antidepressants, heart medications. >> a patient of mine called me from florida the other day and said, he had a big rash from a heart drug and i'm, but you have been taking it for months and he stopped it and the rash went away and lesson, you can get it even if you have been on the medicine for a long time. >> julie: its is interesting you mentioned advil, and it is an

anti-in fl anti-inflammato anti-inflammatory, and the most widely used, drug, and if they have i-have a headache, should they stay out of the sun. >> if you have a hangover, you shouldn't be in the sun any way and the -- if you take your advil, take it after, not before you go to the sun. >> julie: being in the sun with a headache is not enjoyable and i guess stay indoors. >> gregg: makes it worse. >> and it isn't just about, slathering on the sunscreen, it is about watching what you are eating and what you put on your skin and watch your medications. >> and. >> fair skin, by the way, people with fair skin are much more likely to get sunburn and more likely for the allergy and if you get the allergies, obviously, symptom whatever is causing it and you put steroid creams on but your physician has to be notified and if you get a rash, after being in the sun, call your physician.

>> gregg: artificial sweet ners, true or false. >> true. >> gregg: really. >> and the dill and the fennel. >> makes you sensitive to the sun and at higher risk of cancer no and what is interesting, diabetes drugs, too, if you are diabetic and go on artificial sweeteners, the drugs or the food -- diabetics have to watch it. >> julie: doctor, great to have outen. >> everybody put on their sunscreen today, right? [cheers and applause]. >> julie: i think everybody is, here. >> gregg: that will do it for us. >> julie: thanks for watching us, hope you had a wonderful independence day weekend, "fox news sunday" with chris wallace starts now, see you on the fox report in one hour. @@nó
