7:01 am
intentional. >> awnsly ainsley earhart in fo alisyn. the alternative for botox, apparently so expectation seive for -- so expensive for botox. >> you can't do it in our business, we need expression. >> we come up with the top story, the mess with the cia and the latest chapter is this. dick cheney reportedly told the cia to withhold information from congress, to withhold a specific secret counterterrorism prm and not tell congress. we do not know what this counterterrorism program was. we do know it was not in regard to water boarding, it was not in regard to domestic spying either. >> we also know this might not had anything to do with pelosi back and forth. does this vindicate pelosi when she says the cia lied to
7:02 am
congress and leon panetta coming out and saying that didn't happen, we didn't withhold anything. and now unfolding, what dick cheney told to the members. the former cia director, one of the points, to make sure that congress understood the scope of the activity and bigger than a bred box. he was addressing things other than nancy pelosi and we understand from an official who worked to michael haden, another said dick cheney never said to us, don't tell anything, don't restrict anything. >> the directors say they did not hold a congressional hearing because this was not yet developed, if it had been developed then that's when they would have-- >> the program itself and perhaps, the problem to dave's point we still don't know which program this is. >> a couple of things,
7:03 am
canceled the program june 23rd. wrong this gets nancy pelosi off the hook, it has nothing to do with water boarding. we still don't know if she was accurate accurately informed about water boarding. she may have been told about water boarding. >> to be fair-- >> in the briefings. >> we frankly don't know. we simply don't know anything about what program this is that the vice-president alleged to now not have told congress about and this is an important point because the gang of 8. those leaders in the intelligence community in congress need to be informed of everything. if there was information withheld, leon panetta coming out and saying, look, as soon as i found out about this, and held a spanish special session of congress and telling them i ended everything yesterday. >> and we have a quote from a cia spokesman, it's not an agency practice to discuss what may or may not have been said in a classified briefing. when a cia unit brought this matter to director panetta's
7:04 am
attention, it was with the recommendation that it be shared appropriately with congress and that was also the view and exclusive decisive action to put that into effect. stay tuned. it's preliminary at the point. if it hadn't been developed, the question do they have to go to the gang of eight every time? >> we doesn't know. that's the question. we are going to find out much more about this morning and all the talks this morning and also talking about this, president obama, writing his own op-ed piece in the washington post and now coming out also, yesterday in his radio address and rejecting flat out the second stimulus we've talked so much about on the show because all signs were pointing and the secretary was floating the possibility of a senged stimulus. so apparently the president says no more, no second stimulus. >> see, i still get the feeling he's leaving the idea open. i know it's just my personal interpretation, i haven't heard him definitively slamming the door on a second
7:05 am
stimulus. what he's saying he thinks the first stimulus has in fact worked and we shouldn't measure in months, but in years. here is the president in his youtube address on saturday. >> as i made clear at the time was passed, the recovery act was not designed to work in four months. it was designed to work over two years. we also knew it would take time for the money to get out the door because we're committed to spending it in a way that's effective and trance parent. >> you be the judge. has it worked out? and unemployment still at 9%. lost millions of jobs since it started start started. >> the president says it could take time to unfold. >> thanks for bringing that up. from "the washington post",the american recovery and reinvestment act was not expected to restore the economy, all right. to full health on its own, but to provide the boost necessary to stop the free fall.
7:06 am
so far, it has done that, he says, we must let it work the way that it's supposed to with the understanding that in any recession, unemployment tends to recover more slowly than other measures of economic activity. >> so. >> yeah, well, you know, he starts the op-ed with nearly six months my administration took office and missed-- amid the most severe economic down turn, so therefore blaming it on the other administration. >> and we'll see only 10% of stimulus money has been spent. so i doubt it, that's one of the biggest flaws to the thing. we'll get later on the headlines. >> that's what we're doing, headlines. here are your headlines morning, the cia prisoners with the harsh interrogation techniques. lan lange-- a special prosecutor could be appointed within weeks, not everybody in the obama
7:07 am
administration is on board. saying it could distract from the of president's legislature agenda. whether you. it or not, you have chips embedded in passports and driver's license and preventing counterfeiting. people are using scanners to track us without our knowledge kind of like big brother, and it's during the digital age. government argues it's easier to track people through their cell phones, but others contend there's lots of room for abuse with these chips as well. we'll continue to keep you posted on that story. steve mcnair remembered in his mississippi hometown. nearly 5,000 people turned out at a football stadium for the funeral of the normal nfl star. t . vince young was among the mourners, he was killed a week ago by his mistress who then turned the gun on herself in what is believed to be a murder-suicide. those are your headlines of thes. >> here is a story i think we can all get behind. a new study says that women
7:08 am
spend nearly one year of their lives deciding what outfit to wear each and every day. and i totally believe this. >> huh? >> i know, i thought it was a little low. i think that the numbers are actually-- they spend on average 16 minutes every weekday morning, 14 minutes every weekend morning, but it really goes up when you talk about holidays. ladies apparently spend 52 minutes when it comes it a holiday party decide whatting to wear. >> 287 days, you can tell today by dave and i we only spend four minutes. >> don't you believe it? the guys are waiting for me in the living room while you're still getting ready. >> i've watched so many episodes of different things sitting and waiting. what happens, you guys don't go in and try on one outfit. >> let me explain a secret. the reason is if you try on lots of different outfits and find the perfect outfit and feel good about yourself in
7:09 am
it, you'll feel good about yourself at the party. >> you spent 476 days. >> that's more than-- it's a lot. and took time to study this. >> i spend just one day, one day of my life getting dressed as he have hadded by my outfit and dave briggs beats all of us, 482 days so far getting dress $. >> i'm not going to lie, i spend far more time than the average joe, but in of defense of myself, i'm a bit color blind, i can't tell shades of brown, green, blue. i walk up to my office and they have a note at that told me what to waur this weekend. >> what does color blindness have to do with primping the hair. >> that's not the hair, it's what to wear. >> i feel better about yourself if you feel good about your outfit. men are visual we want to look

or read a statement? how does this work? >> we will be preparing a statement that i'll be reading and counting on the senators to ask her the tough questions and in fact one thing we've done is we've prepared our top ten list of questions that we'd like to see the senators ask and that's available on our website for people to go and vote on what they'd like to see the senators asking the judge. >> give me that website address. >> it's called, sure, thanks, ainsley, ask sotomayor.com and there's a top ten lus. >> tell me about your statement. what do you plan to address? >> the thing we focus in on, the question on her background of the life issue, there's a myth there isn't a lot of information. in fact we've unearthed quite a bit of information out there and what her position has been. >> she's chaired for a litigation committee, puerto rican legal defense and information fund. during the time she served on that board they took six cases forward to the supreme court where they fueled ami cuss

briefs and they were outside the mainstream. american people and argued against informed consent for abortions, against parental notification, against bans on portion birth abortion and argued it's unconstitutional not to federally fund abortion and these are all issues that 80% of the american people support having common sense regulations on abortion. so, we really want to get that information out there both to the american people, but also in front of the senators on the judiciary committee. >> how many witnesses? do you know how many witnesses will be in a room or were selected? because i know it's the gamut. the democrats and republicans, everyone else in the middle as we were saying and michael bloomberg our new york city mayor is part of the panel as well. how many witnesses are out there? >> exactly. the outside panels starts and then our panel is after that on thursday, mayor bloomberg kicks off the four set panel for the democrats and then we will be coming up with another

brothers shop and joining us from the new location in georgia. good morning, brian. >> good morning, ainsley, how are you. christian, it's called, i'm sorry, we don't have them anymore, christian brothers auto repair shops, tell me why the the name and how this is, you know, what your lobby looks like, i understand there are bibles in the lobby as well? >> that's correct. >> all right, tell me why-- >> it's really-- it was a started as just to be a simple repair shop in 1982 by two men who were in a sunday school class together and that's why they call it christian bro brothers out motie and brothers in christ. as time went on, they turned it into a franchise and then he he sells it to couples who wish to operate a christ-based business providing quality and ethical automotive repair services. >> a lot of people, brian, expect to get ripped off when they go to get their car worked on. is the implication here, the
7:25 am
message you want to spread come to christian brothers and you'll get a more honest experience? >> yes. i wouldn't want to-- help people to feel confident that they can trust in what we tell them. the cost of something is often driven by what's wrong with the car not by the place that you bring your car for the service, but we're all about communicating continuously through the repair process. we never do any repair without customer approval and take as much time as the customer would like to explain what we found so that they don't feel that it's all just mumbo jumbo and that they're forced into doing something they really don't want to do. >> i know that a lot people aren't out there buying new cars and the increase with our economy is down the toilet right now. so you're seeing more people are coming in and repairing what they have? >> yes, ainsley, we see people that would typically say, you
7:26 am
know, it's just, the car is hold enough, i'm going to trade it in and get rid of it. those same people are sag i want at least another year out of it and maybe they'll say it they have changed their thought process and they're going to drive it much longer. because they like not having a car payment. our business is up, considerably versus last year, but i do feel a pinch from the recession, now, we do hear customers who talk about how tight money is, but then we also hear a lot of people who choose to invest not only in repairing their car, but doing the manufacturer recommended maintenance services to keep their existing car running longer. >> it sounds like it's going well. 59 franchises, 80 million companies. thanks for joining us this morning. >> thanks, brian. >> thank you, dave, thanks for having me. >> coming up, governor palin suggests she's headed back to the campaign trail and you won't believe who she's stumping for. >> a botox alternative now

7:31 am
thousand animals could be euthanized, guys. >> i said earlier, look, this is malarky. because if that-- but then again in 1990 that happened there. the stone zoo shut down, then governor michael dukakis shut down and some animals euthanized and they were planning on putting down an arctic polar bear and people stepped in and i said that sounds like millarkey, they're not going to put the animals down, in this day and age, with the animal rights activists, putting a thousand animals down. >> they want people to go and spend money and the government to step in, but apparently this does happen. it's happened in the past. the legislature could start the refunding. this would leave the franklin park zoo in dorchester, they would have no zoo and they had be killed, according to the zoo's director. >> and this is why this is an outrage.
7:32 am
fox n foxnews.com you'll see some money wasted in the stimulus, one of which was a lobster pot plant. so lobster cages put in the bottom of the sea beds, spending millions on that type of a project on animals that could potentially be be put down. >> and the turtle crossing. >> a million dollar turting crossing. >> taxi removal or the bridge to nowhere, we've done countless story, i worked for shaun hannity's story, we've done countless stories. >> and another bad decision on budget cuts, a great resource for the community and the zoo is an expensive place to spend a day in tough economic times. i think most people would agree with that. >> and that's the mayor, official in charge of the budget cuts and governor duval patrick, hey, maybe right them if you're in the boston area and let them know who how you feel about the animals potentially euthanized and the zoo shut down. a reforce the kids and the area to lose. >> maybe need to have a

7:34 am
palin told the washington times she's going to dive head first into national politics. she says that she'll go around the country, campaigning for candidates that share her conservative views, even if they're democrats or independents. also, another tragedy in the sports world this morning, he was one of the most exciting boxers in the history of boxing, but former lightweight welter weight champion arturo guy has been found dead at a resort in brazil. the 37-year-old was on vacation with his wife and a one-year-old son. police have yet to determine pt cause of death. his professional record was 40-9. 40-9. >> very good story. >> and jailbirds cooldown in the desert heat thanks to the sheriff who handed out ice cream to inmates. helping them to deal with the 130 degree weather. the jail there known as tent city, but is looks like the sheriff joe has now gone soft,

was actually a philosophy major in college and a math minor which meant that he had the ability to argue so well. and then, i was so worried about taking over for him at the podium because he was so good at what he did. and loved it so much. and i used to, well, i speak much more quickly than he did and i remember right after taking over one of the people in the briefing room did a test of looking at how many words tony said during a briefing in 45 minutes and how many i said in 20 minutes and i beat him. so, i always tried to return it through while he loved it. >> dana, i know that you talked about, i know that you talked to some of our staff members about his wife's 50th burt day party and reading the material and sent out some of this to my friend. there are such good guys out there. he's one of the best and tell me what he did for his wife on her 50th birthday. >> leading up to it, first of all, he just loved jill so
7:45 am
much so he would do anything to protect her and to make her happy and so he was planning to throw a really big 50th birthday party at their home. catered with the whole deal and leading up to it, he decided that what he would do instead of buying one big present although i think there was a big present involved he bought 50 little presents and had them all wrapped so that she could enjoy her birthday and open those presents over the weekend. and then, he told me that the party went very well, they had pushed the couches up against the wall and they had danced like teenagers until dawn, i think, is what he said, and he was just so happy about it and at that time, the cancer had not returned yet, so, you know, he was quite hopeful and optimistic with it, how he lived his life, but i just remember that day that he was so happy and that he'd made all the right choice ins life. >> and whether it be as a husband or the press secretary, as a member of the media he set the bar pretty high.
7:46 am
da dana to you, personal or professional, what is tony's lasting legacy on you? >> well, that day that he left the white house, his last day at the white house he came in to see me and he said, so how are you feeling about things? >> well, not very good i don't know how i'm supposed to do this, how i'm suppose today follow in your shoes and he was 6-5 and i'm five feet tall and i had a size six so i had a lot of growing to do. he told me you're so much better at this than you think you are and i think that that is the lasting piece for me which is to reset and not be so worried about things, try to overcome a lack of confidence and also, being able to not take life so seriously. there are serious things we deal with especially the at the white house, but i remember one time after he left thinking how am i supposed to handle this problem, all this problems
7:47 am
dealing with this. i thought out loud how would tony handle this, when i realized the answer was he would laugh, that's what i did, too. >> one thing i loved about guys like tony, he didn't sweat the small stuff. we get caught up in the day-to-day minutia of things and dealing with these weighty issues at the white house and a guy who loses keys and blackberry and didn't care. >> all of us can be end up dragdz into the water cooler talk and complaining about, you know, the printer not working or-- he never dealt with that. one, i don't think he ever felt like he had the time to worry about such things, but he didn't worry about those things. sometimes frustrating for us when he would lose his wallet, lose his blackberry. i love the story one time he lost his blackberry, couldn't find it and because we had top secret information going back and forth not necessarily on his blackberry, but concern about security they shut down
7:48 am
the blackberry. four weeks later, he found the blackberry in a winter boot and it was july. and nobody was wearing the winter boot. i said how did it end up in a winter boot? he said, i have no idea. >> dana, great, wonderful to hear about the person not just the press secretary. >> yeah. >> and the host, so we appreciate your memories and coming up. >> he was a great man. >> we have a college roommate and close friend of tonies coming up on the program zell as well and dana. >> it's hard to believe it's a year ago, we learned about his passing before the show. >> we will be right back. 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.
7:49 am
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... and all other medications you are taking... or if you experience muscle pain or weakness, as they may be a sign of a rare but serious side effect. how close are you to where you want to be?
7:52 am
>> well, for the past seven years or so, botox concerned the market in wrinkle reduction. watch out botox, there's a cheaper alternative in town. here to talk about it is had a doctor, a new york city celebrity plastic surgeon and here to tell us the positives and negatives. the new product, what is it called? >> it's nice that there's a competitor, last year in 2008 nearly 2.5 million people who underwent botox procedures. this part is a relative of botox. box toks is a toxin a and this is a toxin a. they work sum lahrly, but importa important-- similarly, but there are important differences, it may be a lot more affordable option for people worrying about their pocket books in recession time. >> how do you know if you should have the botox or the new product. >> basically talk to the
7:53 am
doctor about it. important differences, for example, this has a more rapid onset of objection. compared to botox might take three to seven days to see the benefits of muscle relaxation in the brow, dysport, one to two days and finished in five days, if you have an important event you want to go to and didn't allow seven days to get the full benefit of your treatment you might choose the dysport. >> how old are most the patients getting botox. >> they're approved for adults under the age of 65. it's important, dysport has an important things, people allergic to milk protein cannot have dysport. that's different than lactose intolerance. it's absorbed into the muscle and not your gut. . >> what's the age group? >> noi that some of my friends
7:54 am
are getting it and then saying, other friends are saying not until after 40. >> what is your opinion. >> it doesn't matter your age, as long as you're an adult with expression and pronounced and you don't like that. to complete that, dysport is approved for four months and botox lasts up to three months. >> it lasts longer and you see the effects sooner and it's cheaper. >> yes, it is. >> some competition finally. >> let's talk about the lash lengthening, i know this is the newest rage, but is it f.d.a. attached? >> this is f.d.a. approved. al this is the lash lengthening treatment. it's a medicine that was used for glaucoma to lower eye pressure and unanticipated, but very desirable side effect was that the lashes got longer, darker, thicker and so latisse is approved as a length lenningening treatment.
7:55 am
there are other competitors and now, these two products have the active ingredient, so these have medications in them. and these-- >> over-the-counter? >> they are over-the-counter. >> they are. >> that's why it's important for people who are self-selecting a product to understand the side effects that can happen. when you go for latisse, you and your doctor will decide if it's for you, and discuss the side effects. if you select one of these. it can cause curling of the lashes desirable if it's in the direction you like and it could be permanent and also could be not in the direction you like. and eye liner, you might not want-- >> which do you recommend. >> i recommend you discuss with your doctor and
7:56 am
understand the risks because if you have blue eyes like you do, beautiful blue eyes. one of the risks of many other product if it enters your eye it can cause permanent brown spots in the irises of the eye. these two don't do that. >> thank you for being here, creator of beauty scoops, thank you for being here. >> a warrior going to hand it over to you guys and the next story. >> you can tell by your expression when you said boto botox. >> from the president, no second stimulus, where are the jobs supposed to be created from the first stimulus. >> remember this rant from christian bail?

what questions might be asked? >> we know you love your pets, we all love pets. what if there is a dog in the neighborhood that barks incessantly. one community police force decide today take the matters in their own hands and put the dog behind bars. >> actually put the dog in their own hands. >> took them downtown so we are going to talk about that coming up and whether or not you think it's prep or over the line. >> and also it barack obama rejecting that second stimulus? remember, he he talked about wanted a second stimulus, that would be coming down the road and now he's saying putting the brakes on that, no second stimulus, you're not buying it? >> i'm not, didn't hear a definitive word that squashed the idea yet and i think he's trying to address in the youtube address and the op-ed, he feels the first stimulus is doing its jobs and we should measure it in a matter of years and not a couple of months and here is the president in his youtube address about the current state of the economy and
8:02 am
success of the stimulus program. >> if i make clear at the time it was passed, the recovery act was not designed to work in four months, it was designed to work over two years and we also knew it would take time for the money to get out the door because we're committed to spending it in a way that's effective and transpare transparent. >> in the workout post, the president writing an op-ed on the heels of this and he doesn't think the second stimulus is coming down the pipe. and he doesn't want one and it was not expected to do it on its own, expect today stop the freefall. we must work the way it's supposed to, the understanding in any recession, unemployment tends to recover more slowly than any other measures of economic activity and we'll ask warren buffett. earlier we talked how warren buffett the fact that he believes unemployment could reach as high as 11%. with this whole stimulus package unfolded unemployment
8:03 am
was around 8% and it's gone up to 9%. so he says it's working and the president says it's working and i want to know what about that. >> you brought up the unemployment number. the president would not go above 8 and as we mentioned 9.5% and the youtube address the money not getting out the door in time. did we expect that only 10% of stimulus funds would be spent at this point. that's lower that be r than anyone expected. we need to get it out the door. get it spent. as karl rove said, more money 2011 and 2019 than is spent this current fiscal year. >> and the question is, the money that is part of the stimulus package, is it really going to help recover the economy even if he we spend the other 90% because the money is going to help like build bridges to nowhere and removal, and i hope that we're wrong about the issue, i hope it does recover our economy.
8:04 am
we need to stay positive as a country. >> tattoo removal, i think the job creating the programs at the white house says will create jobs and we have been talking about that pet project with the turtle passageway down in florida. you know, of course, the vice-president addressing this last week, you know, look, that even creates job, but the question that much governor huckabee talked about yesterday, are the jobs, quick shovel building bridge johbs enough to sustain an economy or do an infrastructure, like an information age the way if which we can move the country forward did like in the 1950's. >> those are the arguments and here are the public response from virginia's eric cantor. >> with the stimulus alone, washington borrowed nearly $10,000 from every american household. let me ask you, do you feel $10,000 richer today? to you? and do you think that the first stimulus is working, is doing its job? has it stopped the freefall?
8:05 am
let us know, friends@foxnews.com. >> a lot of people would have just liked the $10,000. i would have had loved a $10,000 check. >> here are your headlines this morning. the space shuttle endeavour finally be getting off the ground? it appears that way. the launch of the space shuttle endeavour set for lift-off from the kennedy space center tonight at 7:13 eastern time and the mission to the international space station already has been dlad three times before including last night scrubbed because of the lightning. if a launch does pass, we of course at fox news channel we are going to bring it to you live on fox. stay tuned for that. 7:13 eastern time. there's a new audiotape believed to have been that of osama bin laden. and he's warning the people of pakistan not to join forces with the west. it's not confirmed, but intelligence community believes there's never been a fake tape from osama bin laden. >> remember the astronaut lisa

allegations. dana pr reno is back with us, and we'll hear from fox contributor bob beckel. dana, your response to the latest story. first of all, is there any truth to this? >> well, first, i don't have any knowledge of it. what i can tell from reading the public reports we probably are talking here about an idea that somebody had about possibly figuring out another tool to protect us from terrorists that never materialized, that doesn't become operational and i think that the democrats look like they're clutching at straws to try to protect nancy pelosi from other comments a few weeks ago and try to come up with something to back up their claims and i think this is a big mistake for them. >> what met evaluation would the democrats have for this? seems panetta coming out and telling people with direct knowledge of this, saying i canceled this program yesterday, saying he was never informed of this program and people with ties to this whole thing have come out and publicly talked about this.
8:24 am
what's their motivation here? >> again, i don't have any personal knowledge of it, but i think that they're clutching at straws, i think they're trying to find something that will try to back her up and the obama administration had a tough week this week, probably the toughest week they've had and i think the timing is interesting, all of a sudden that they want to bring back dick cheney to try to go after him and in addition floated the idea in today's news wook story for a special prosecutor to go after anybody involved in a program thinvolved with water boarding. goes expressly against what president obama says he wanted to happen in this case. they've lost three times and i don't think it's a good decision to bring this up again. >> dana, thank you for your perspective on this. put up a quote from michael haden the former cia director and he's answering some of these accusations before said one of the points i had in every one of the briefings making sure at that congress, they, understood the scope of
8:25 am
our activity. they've got to know this is bigger than a bread box. >> let's bring in bob beckel. and here is a quote this morning from leon panetta in response to what was going on in responding to the pelosi quotes, look it's not our policy or president bushing -- practice to mislead congress that is against our laws and values. and this morning we're harg from an official michael haden. look, at the cia, at the white house, there was never any direct response for vice-president dick cheney about trying to have us mislead congress under any direct response from the vice-president to mislead kong. do we have bob beckel yet? bob, let's hear your response to this. first of all, does this vindicate nancy pelosi in any way or is this the completely separate matter here? >> well, i mean, it's a separate matter, this is not about water boarding, but i will say this, that if leon
8:26 am
panetta felt he needed to go tell congress within 24 hours after he both learned about and canceled this program, it was something of significance. now, but let's remember now that leon panetta has been strongly supportive of the ciaen its actions and frankly, against a lot of other people in the obama administration, so, i think there's no question that it was a real and a serious and a significant intelligence operation ab under the law, under the intelligence law and i used to be involved with it the at white house, dealing with the intelligence and congress, this clearly was a violation, if not of the letter, certainly of the spirit, but i think of the letter of the law. >> let's go over some facts here, dana's points the democrats, are democrats grasping at straws trying to bring back dick cheney and tie him to this. the second question we don't know anything about this particular program yet. interest what we understand and people are telling us that this program may have not been developed enough to even have to inform congress of it.
8:27 am
what do you say to those two points? >> well, first of all, the democrats are not at this stage again, this is dana saying about this being a bad week and bringing dick cheney out. we haven't had to bring dick cheney out he's coming out on his own every week saying something, number one and number two, this program was establishing, beginning to be planned in late 2001, early 2002 and it had still been around until 2009 that means that some of it considered seriously and we're not sure whether parts were implemented. were did panetta say this it didn't meet the criteria of telling congress at least the hou gang of eight. that's clearly something that should have been done and the political point he can get out information about this program. certainly elected representatives in the intelligence committee.
8:28 am
>> and every effort to reach mr. channy, relatives and associates. >> he's in that hidden bunker somewhere. >> in an undisclosed location. bob, thank you for joining us and dana per reno as well. >> coming up, the the pru gm wants to make buying a car as easy as clicking a mouth. >> some talking about putting cars on ebay, new cars. woohoo! listen, that beret is really not hot. i am all roots and no time. i gotta run.

partnership with ebay selling cars via ebay. this will specifically roll out in the state of california. there are a few hiccups along the way because automakers are prevented by legislation from selling cars directly to the consumer so they have to go through the dealers, ultimately. what this will do empower the consumer and could really kill the dealers, but guys, the prices are going to fall and fall and fall and people are able to do all of their research and compete online than going to the dealer. >> is that so bad? let me play devil's advocate. i sold my car on ebay, i had a hybrid, i sold it on ebay, a fantastic process, i couldn't believe it. everyone was telling me you should sell your car on ebay, what are you talking about? i did, went to the ebay moetors spot and it's secure and not like handing money off a

ransom. and i sold it and the lady picked it up. >> an entirely different case, you're talking a used car online and this is the auto maker selling cars on ebay, a buy it now price. >> if i don't have to then go into at that dealership and deal with somebody haggling me offer prices what if i can sit at home and hey, i don't want to deal with the car salesman. >> i don't think there's a high percentage of people that actually do that only because i think most people are old school when it comes to buying major huge purposes like that. >> don't want to try it. >> i want to sit in the car, pick out the interior, you say you want to kick the tires? >> well, i do, i'd have a hard time, he had an e-mail from swan river. >> swannee river. >> i would never buy a new or used car online. i feel the same way and you have to sit in it, drive it, hear the engine, kick the tires and what they're saying about the new technique, it really could empower the consumer because you could find out exactly what you're paying and find out what other people are paying and compete
8:34 am
with the other dealers online and then you march into that store and basically tell them, i will pay this. so-- >> could kill the dealers long-term, but-- >> you have to pay for the car in cash then if you buy it on ebay? >> no, you can get a cashier's check or that process, probably go to the same loan process you would any other way. the thing is when you sell a used car, you have to get the cash, don't have the loan system set up. >> the benefit of going into the dealership i know for me, they get the tag for you, they do the taxes for you, they set up the loan for you, they do all the paper work. >> and try to upset you the repairs-- >> and worth it. >> ebay motors sold over 3 million cars, let us know would you buy a brand new car from gm, a buy it now price and you don't have to act. >> let's talk about the other big story of the mo morning. what is going on with alaskan governor sarah palin now that she announced her resignation and is stepping down and fox news can confirm that palin is reiterating what she said in other interviews, now, saying
8:35 am
that she could be getting involved in politics, going out and helping other people, not necessarily republicans, independents, anyone who needs her help, she's willing to stump for them. so, is she going to be back into the public light again? an interesting point although those close to her saying she got out of politics specifically because she was tired of taking all the slings and arrows, and being governor she was kind of met with the ethics questions and she believed that many of them were of course unwarranted and she says that this is a subject you deal with this governor, you're open to the ethics investigations come out of nowhere, all for political play, i want to get out of that have, and i want to help the people get the message out. >> it's surprising to hear she would campaign for democrats and independents. >> if they believe-- >> if they share similarities and interesting polls that come out in regard to sarah palin's future and her likelihood of being elected. >> yes. >> this is one, if sarah palin were to run for president in
8:36 am
2012, how likely were you of of to vote for her. >> of 20 some likely, and 44% not likely. and take a look at republicans. >> all right. >> we have that. 72% of republicans say that they were somewhat or very likely to vote for her. >> and that 70 percent of all voters that her resignation have no effects on her view of her and i think that's the one that's important. if her resignation has no effect, i think that gives her a chance down the road. if you don't care that she resigned, then you're open to her thoughts, open to her policies and there was an interesting one on politico.com. 14,000 people voted and 70% said they were not affected by her resignation, so people don't have much care, and by 2012 have certainly forgotten.
8:37 am
>> the g.o.p. has to determine who the next will be. there was south carolina, and we know what happened and exboyfriends and girlfriends, never go back, really, it just doesn't work out. she had her chance and didn't work out. is that how politics are, too? >> no, i think she has a clean slate, another chance. she is going to have to sit tight and let this get by and get back in the game in the year or so. we'll see what happens, it will be fun and interesting. we have someone from the weekly standard who talked to sarah palin for 30 minutes, an extensive conversation coming up on the program. >> first check the headlines. >> the first family back at the white house after a week long trip overseas. the obama's visited russia, italy and ghana. before leaving ghana, the president sat down with britain's sky news to discuss the situation in afghanistan. >> i think all of us are going to have to do an evaluation after the after ewilkes, what more we can do.

hempisphere... "fox & friends," i arise from my sleep when the last hour is gone, all the bleep, bleep, bleep, that is what i'm going to do, bleep, bleep. >> you are watching fox and friends and they rock! >> and you know -- welcome to the show, first of all, and if you are waking up like i woke up five minutes ago, you are about to see rick -- >> rick: good morning. >> clayton: rick reichmuth is about to kiss a sea lion. >> he is live in an acquire coming up, new york's aquarium and will make out with a sea lion -- making out. >> dave: he has no choice, has to be a wet one. no choice in that matter and we'll also tell you how you, too, can kiss a seal, if you are here in the new york area and we start with the top story, which is involving a i-a back and forth between the cia, nancy pelosi and dick cheney, former
9:01 am
president, dick cheney apparently withheld an anti-terror program from congress and in fact told the cia, too, we are told, the specific program, to withhold it from the program and the program does not have to do with waterboarding and will not get off off the hook. >> clayton: and we don't know what the program. >> chris: it could have an extension of this, we are all in the dark about this and people have been trying to reach him to get his response and he has not responded but what we know from the different reports from the associated press and "the new york times" is that apparently, for eight years, had the cia withhold the information from the congress and what happens, for congress, the gang 068, four members of the house and the senate, which make up the gang of 8 in the intelligence community are to be briefed about every top-secret, overt military operation undertaken by the cia and when they are not that is a problem.
9:02 am
>> when this subsequent cia officials were asked why did you not go to these 8 individuals, and talk to them about it, they said because the program had not yet been developed to the point where it merited congressional hearings. so, they were saying it hadn't been developed and that is why we didn't do it. >> dave: the program never truly got off the ground and we don't know if he actually broke the law and that is important to know and we have a statement from michael hayden, former cia director and one of the points he said in every briefing was to make sure they understood the scope of our activity and -- they've got to know it is bigger than a bread box, i said and, quote, as representative for mr. heyden, also said he was never misled, never told to withhold anything from congress. >> clayton: right, he was never instructed by the vice president, specifically, we haven't yet heard from mr. hayden but we have heard from officials who worked with him in response to what we have
9:03 am
heard and the question is does the back and forth between nancy pelosi and the cia, her saying they lied and misled congress and leon panetta saying not true and leon panetta said it is not our policy to practice or mislead congress, it is against our laws and values. now, when he learned about the program, that was allegedly kept quiet from the cia he went to congress, the gang of 8, back in june, and we're learning about this. >> dave: june 23rd. >> clayton: and said, i learned about this yesterday. i ended the program yesterday,'d and brought it to congress to let them know about it. >> and a program went on from 2001 until june, as you mentioned, so whatever the program was, it had gone on for 8 years, now. and years, of course from a cia spokesman. >> it is not agency practice to discuss what may or may not, as they said, in a classified
9:04 am
beefing, be said and when a cia unit brought to it director panetta's attention it was with the recommendation it be shared appropriately with congress and that was his view and he took swift, decisive action to put it into effect. and he terminated the program, the next day, after he talked to congress about this. >> clayton: exactly. we'll talk so much more about this, and all afternoon on fox news and of course all of the sunday talk shows will talk about this as well. we'll have it throughout the morning. >> here are your headlines this morning, cia workers could face prison time for interrogation techniques, eric holder is leaning towards opening a criminal probe of bush era interrogation practices and could appoint a special prosecutor within the next few weeks but not everyone in the obama administration is on board with that. some of the staffers fear it could spark a partisan battle, that distracts from the president's legislative agenda. now, al qaeda's media wing has just released a new awed tow

9:06 am
london. but, never actually gave them any political information. the book is based on notice from -- notes from a former kgb officer and one of the headlines for the story was "was hemmingway a failed kgb officer" and the book alleging he might not have done anything and may have been a failed agent. >> dave: i hope not. everyone out there has had a dog in their neighborhood that will not stop yapping. like that one in the studio. >> clayton: and my parents how, my parents are watching this morning, and i know what i am talk about, a yippy jack russell terrier and my parents have and as you australian shepard, beautiful dog, never barks or bothers anybody and the dog in the back of the neighbor's house will schott not shup up, all date is out there, and what happened in one community maybe could have taken care of this dog. >> dave: taken to a new level and the police took the barking dog into custody and removed the dog and brought it to the a
9:07 am
local shelter there in new hampshire. and, what they say, the dog becomes a nuisance, when it barks for more than 30 minutes, or barks during midnight hours. during the night. so, is it going far, far too far, taking a dog away for barking? seems to be in their nature, and we have got -- >> i asked folks on facebook and amy reid says voice box removing and offer to pay for i. >> dave: voice box removal? that is sick and wrong! >> clayton: have you heard of the electronic clarks when they bark, they go arf -- and then it stops them from barking. >> they dog tries to bark and then it is... >> clayton: shrieky dez i believe in nuisance laws, and what about the dog barking all
9:08 am
day. >> dave: it is a little much to take the dog away, and leth they go tow -- are they going too far? let us know. >> the neighbors barking dogs are inevitable, part of life if you live in the neighborhood. >> clayton: and do like elaine, take the dog upstate new york and drop it off and will never make its way back! hire newman to do that! i'm clayton morris, on twitter, jump in the chat room, rick at the aquarium preparing for his kiss from a rose with a seal. >> puckering up and trying to find a date and i think i found one. here we go. that is something to do with that, right now. all right, let's look at the weather maps, guys, we have one story going on, really, an unfortunate story from kansas down across much of texas, dealing with brutal heat, for this weekend. and looks like it will continue for the next number of days and
9:09 am
starting out with a very warm morning and as far as rain goes the biggest problem will be across the central plains to the north of the extremely hot area, and that is across much of nebraska and we'll be dealing with very heavy rain, and some thunderstorms, for the day today, and some of those could be severe including a couple of tornadoes later on today, nebraska, really the bull's-eye for it. and we are dealing with rain across parts of the four corner states and watch florida later on today for the threat of any kind of thunderstorms for that shuttle launch, all right, let's get back here and watch, this is osborne. >> rick: how that is for a cough in the morning. >> dave: pucker up, rick! >> we have a camera guy, chris, makes the same noise when we start the show every morning! >> how cute is he! adorable. >> rick: thank you.
9:10 am
it is a california see lion and i was kreshtingscorrected. >> dave: a spend a lot of time at the aquarium, i have kids, we are looking forward to the smooch, rick, coming up. >> and president obama thought his pick for the high court could tip the scales to the left but there is something standing in though way, coming up next. >> clayton: all those outfits cost money and time and a shocking study how much time women spend deciding what to wear and we'll read your tweets, the chat room, e-mails, you have been weighing in all morning, do you believe it takes women a year of their life to get ready. >> dave: at least. >> clayton: i do. 4l$ñ
9:14 am
>> >> dave: the reason why president obama may have nominated sonia sotomayor to the supreme court, and what he was not counting on when he did, jamie colby is here to explain, good morning, jamie. >> jamie: good morning. >> the hearing begins tomorrow and this is your theory and it is an interesting one and, the new haven firefighter decision and the -- >> jamie: it will play significantly, i first predicted sonia sotomayor would be president obama's top choice for three reasons and one is that she is female and two, she was a latina and three, because she has a big, powerful personality, she is considered persuasive and
9:15 am
proficient, and, that that would possibly swing the swing vote of justice kennedy on the court. until president obama has a chance to have other nominees that he may be able to apoints to the court. -- apointpoint to the court and wants to switch the balance of decisions from the conservative to the liberal side and she's the one person he considered that may be able to do that and enter the new haven firefighters case. her decision on the second circuit court of appeals. and, who wrote the decision? overturning that in the supreme court, justice kennedy saying she was wrong in her decision and the firefighters were wrong, and that the case was not hand properly. and so, it will come up, and, possibly, president obama is thinking now, she may not be as influential, this is how they got off their first meeting of the minds, justice kennedy and potentially justice sotomayor.
9:16 am
>> dave: we can acknowledge hugh little she will say regarding the new haven firefighter case. >> jamie: she'll have to answer, they will ask again and again. >> dave: hope they put the press on her and another thing people are talk about is the puerto rico legal defense and education fund, and sounds relatively insignificant in the grand scheme of things but not so much jish . >> jamie: let me point out, when you join the american bar association and you a are asian you join the asian association and thurgood marshal was involved with the n.a.a.c.p. and he was a supreme court justice and the question is, how involved was she, and served on the board for a dozen years and did she help pick the cases that the legal defense fund pursued, to -- discrimination cases primarily to set the legal pre precedent, once she was apointed to the bench and elected as a board member was the law she'd have to rely on and will she
9:17 am
bring the public policy considerations, she says belong in decision making, these are her words on the second circuit on the supreme court and judge on the record? she is known for reviewing witness testimony and transcripts often do not reflect demeanor. will she go beyond that on the supreme court an attorneys who have argued before her say, she goes too far. >> dave: will she in these hearings? i would be surprised and viewers are worried about her second amendment rights and right to bear arms and she has worried people. >> jamie: that is huge, a o-9 case, whether or not you can have nunchucks, i'm not a nunchucker, but, apparently, people want to have their nunchucks and she said, no. it is not up to the states, the second amendment really applies to the federal right to bear arms, and, that is another case that is expected to go over the supreme court. the question is, on these cases
9:18 am
that she has been involved in, she likely will not participate at the -- as a supreme court justice but how will her decisions be viewed, if many of these are overturned, does she lose her strength as a justice on the court, someone that could influence the conservative and swing vote. >> dave: bottom line, it is not a forgone conclusion she get confirmed, quickly, is it a foregone conclusion? they don't have the numbers, the republicans. >> jamie: i think the republicans will bring up all of the issues that you have and some democrats, too, that you brought up and i think she is the most prepared nominee we have ever seen but like justice ginsburg said when she was in her confirmation hearing, i cannot answer that because i cannot let you know about i feel about the decision and she may use that different than her other confirmation, people think she has been confirmed twice so it is a piece of cake and the second one wasn't, it was delayed, there was concern on the part of republicans, president clinton, former president clinton wanted her on the supreme court and some of the concern lingers. >> dave: good information, the
9:19 am
hearings start tomorrow ayou are up after us at 10:00. >> jamie: 8 p.m. special tonight and fox and friends tomorrow morning, too, about this. >> dave: appreciate it. coming up, president obama says he may throw small businesses a bit of a life line, i said i thought it was a good idea. my next guest disagrees, though, and we'll debate that, next. you have questions. who can give you the financial advice you need? where will you find the stability and resources to keep you ahead of this rapidly evolving world? these are tough questions. that's why we brought together two of the most powerful names in the industry. introducing morgan stanley smith barney. here to rethink wealth management. here to answer... your questions. morgan stanley smith barney. a new wealth management firm with over 130 years of experience.

9:22 am
try align and discover a world of digestive peace. >> nobody has been hit harder during the recession than small business owners and with the economy struggling to stay afloats the obama administration is debating whether to give t.a.r.p. funds to them, but is it too late. >> clayton: stephen moore of the "wall street journal" and author of "the end of prosperity" joins us from d.c. good morning to you, stephen. >> good morning. >> clayton: is it too late to give t.a.r.p. funds to small
9:23 am
businesses? something they should have done from the start? >> well, it's not that it is too late, it is that this is not authorized in the legislation. remember, this was the $700 billion bill we passed back in october. that was supposed to help the banks and save the financial system. and the problem i have had with the way that the administration is using these health funds, remember when we did the bailout of chrysler and general motors, and that was done with t.a.r.p. funds and now, with the administration -- the administration is saying we wanted to use the money when the banks pay back the money and create a slush fund and use it for lending money to small begins and i'm all in favor of helping small business, they are what will lead us out of the recession, but i don't think the way to do that is to ask the government to give them loans. >> dave: don't you have to change the rules sometimes after the game has begun and the money wouldn't go straight to the small businesses, right it would go to the banks and they would decide which loans to make and which would, as we can all acknowledge help small business.
9:24 am
>> well, here's the problem. you know, the it is -- the congress is supposed to make the laws, and there is nowhere -- i have read the legislation, there is nowhere in the legislation, that authorizes the administration to use the funds for this purpose and if congress is -- administration and congress want to have a slush fund, to lend some money to small businesses, they should pass legislation to do it. and the other thing i think is very important, to point out, at the same time the administration is saying we wanted to help small businesses and we want to get them to have loans, and this is the same administration and same congress that is now talking about a major tax increase on small business, the news came out on friday that barney frank is -- has legislation, to raise the income tax rate on small business by 4 or 5 percentage points to pay for pc and you want to help small begins, leave them alone and don't tax them. >> clayton: what about the second stimulus we heard about and heard about the second stimulus and now we are hearing it will not happen. and, then the question, of
9:25 am
course, the money doled out, only 10% of the money has been doled out so far and the money should be targeted to small begins as well. what in the world is going on and where are these jobs we have been hearing about. >> right, well, businesses -- this has been an embarrassment for the administration especially when the unemployment numbers came out a couple weeks ago showing we have 15 million americans unemployed and one in ten americans without a job and here's the problem. if you really wanted to help small business -- and i talk to small business owners all the time -- they say the biggest problem we face right now is all of the government spending and debt, is crowding out the investment capital that they might get. and people were investing money -- who are investing money have to use it to buy all of these trillions of dollars of government bonds and get government out of the way and get the debt and get the spending down, i think you will see small businesses blossom. >> dave: thankfully it appears the president is on the side of harry reid and saying, no second stimulus, but, the president
9:26 am
yesterday he said he thinks the stimulus is working and doing its job to stop the free fall, do you agree. >> how could it be working? look when we started this, the unemployment rate was less than 8% and today, the unemployment rate is 9.5%, and by what measure can we say that it is working? we lost a near half million jobs in the last jobs report. look, i want to see america working again, and i don't think there is any evidence that the spending bill has worked, and i would argue it made the economy worse, because of all of the higher interest rates, that it has caused. >> clayton: stephen moore from the "wall street journal," we appreciate you weighing in this morning on this sunday morning as always. thanks, stephen. >> coming up, governor pail in suggests he's heading back to the campaign trail and you will not believe who she could be stumping for in the future. >> clayton: ladies, your outfits don't just cost money, they cost time and men a lot of time, too! the shocking study on how much time women spend deciding what to wear! up next.
9:27 am
9:30 am
>> welcome back, to "fox & friends" on this sunday morning, clayton morris, ainsley -- >> in for alisyn, she has a tough job, and -- >> clayton: dave briggs. >> i wonder how she can get up so early with those kids. >> clayton: one of this news stories, what we now can confirm from alaska governor sarah palin and everyone wanting to know what in the world will happen
9:31 am
after she leaves office in six months after her resignation she announced on july 3rd. well, fox news can confirm she is reiterating, she said in interviews, she's willing to got out and stump for for whomever needs her help, be it independence, and republicans and democrats if they support her views and she'll stump for them. >> dave: she's not back in the game, yet, and a couple of races in new jersey and virginia and have not heard her name dropped as stumping in either one of those states, waiting to see when she gets back into the game and polls suggest she might have a decent shot, come 2012 time. >> i think we all are kind of thinking, it is not over yet. you know, not done and we took polls and this is -- and look at that, 44% say that not at all likely, if she were to run for president -- >> to vote for her. >> and 24%, somewhat likely and 19%, very likely and not too
9:32 am
likely, 13% and that is -- 44%, a chunk. >> that is a general poll from gallup and the interesting side of the republicans, look at these numbers, this is where the real concern is, the base of the republican party, 72% of republicans wore somewhat or very likely to vote for her and in our chat room, twitter or facebook, any indication on e-mails, our viewers, 72% of them, probably likely to vote for her and the number here, dave, would not hold them back from it. >> dave: this is the number that is important, 70% of all voters, says her resignation as gone of action elastic ka had no effect on their view of her and it would appear a large majority of the voters are still only to hearing from her and hearing from her policies and let's be honest, by 2012 this will be ancient history and people will have forgotten about this, but will her lack of experience, once again come back to haunt her? either way it appears we'll are unaffected by her resignation.
9:33 am
>> everyone thinks there is something up her sleeve and you won't quit being governor without having major plans and i feel like there is something big that will happen in the future, who knows? do you agree. >> dave: should be interesting, i think a lot of it is what she said, she needs to get out -- from under the accusations and internal investigations and needs to get out of there and let her state get on its way and get the government working again and she'll get back into the game, you have headlines. >> clayton: tell us what you think in the chat room an twitter and we'll read nose coming up, and first... >> a "fox news alert." we are learning four u.s. soldiers have been killed in afghanistan. this happened in the southern part of the country, the military says they were killed in a bombing. no further details are available, at this time, and 106 u.s. troops have been killed in afghanistan so far this year, our thoughts go out to the families today, and the red van, police believe was used in the shooting of the florida couple, the parents of 16 children, 12
9:34 am
of them adopted and the van has been found and here's what sheriff david morgan says about the investigation. >> once we have located the van, and developed an address where the van had been registered to, interviews with associated neighbors and friends and families have led us to two persons of interest. >> the two suspects are now being interviewed by the sheriffs office and a third person of interest in the case is still at large. firefighters in phoenix report fighting flames and exploding ammunition when responding to aye a house fire and the flames were heavy and they got worse once the ammo began to explode, and firefighters were forced to call for backup and had to battle those flames, in the outside, look at the fire, it wasn't safely obviously to go in, luckily no one was home and no word on what caused it all. also, arizona jail birds, in the desert heat with tasty desserts, the county sheriff there, is serving ice cream to all of
9:35 am
those inmates, to help them combat the 130 degree temperature out there. the county jail, is known for its tough conditions but the sheriff has gone soft and the prisoners politely thanked the officer for their delicious treats. >> clayton: prison is so adorable. >> dave: stories of the morning, how long women spend getting ready. deciding what to wear. it is an astounding study, that found out 287 days of a woman's life, spent deciding what to wear, that breaks down to 16 minutes every weekday morning and 14 minutes every weekend morning and really, sky rockets when it gets to holidays, you spend 52 minutes, getting ready -- >> it's true. it is not -- okay, i'll until, some things i think it would be easier if i was a man, you have to get up an hour earlier, if you wash your hair, you have to
9:36 am
drive it and the longer your hair is the more time it takes and it tax a long time to get ready, but at the same time -- >> dave: this is deciding what to wear. >> that is a different topic, deciding what to wear, you stand in front of your closeted and try on 2 or 3 outfits if you are going a big events and the number one question in fact a friend of mine had a big interview coming up and i said, what willed you wear and that was so this first question, and -- >> and twittered -- twitter, most women spend a year to get ready and that is all in one day. >> it is like going fishing for you guys, or golfing, we like to shop. >> dave: colleen in wichita falls, says, i spend that much time, if not more putting my husband's clothes together, for work each day. >> thank you! >> dave: a lot of women out there -- >> we are washing them, thank you. >> clayton: book girl says surprised it's not more, it depends on what you are getting

9:53 am
>> clayton: welcome back to "fox & friends" on this beautiful sunny afternoon. and, of course, you can get a little bit of a burn if you have a little bit of a bald spot this afternoon. >> dave: and sunscreen on the dome. >> we are with dr. robert bernstein, a clinical professor of dermatology the at columbia university to talk about baldness and secures and ways to fix the problem, if you are thin
9:54 am
on top, righted, doc. >> right. >> clayton: welcome and, let's start out here and what do we start with, start with the medical procedures you might be able to get, that are not on the table, procedures, right senate a hair transplant, tell us about what is involved in that. >> and for extensive hair loss is a hair transplant and we take a strip from the back of the scalp and it is put under a microscope and follicles are taken out in little tiny groups and placed into the scalp. >> we have a "before" picture, what it looks like. >> this is before the transplant. and let's see after. >> and what it looks like after, after the hair transplant pulled from the back of the hair. >> right. >> that is incredible. >> hair plugs are a thing of the past. >> they went out 20 years ago and unfortunately -- >> i don't know if people know that, because i have friends who have one. >> and didn't realize kevin
9:55 am

9:56 am
so... >> do you feel it working. >> feel it working already -- feelin' something! >> dave: a study i read about, botox can be used to treat baldness, how does that work. >> what is interesting, is the patients we looked at had chemotherapy, and hair grows back after chemotherapy, naturally, but, this really has to be looked at a little bit more carefully. the hypothesis, is that it stimulates blood flow, and genetic hair last loss is not related to blood flow and also high poth sized, the muscles -- there are no muscles on the scalp and we have to look at it power carefully. >> doctor, the after the show show, we'll talk about it, coming up and we'll go back to the aquarium -- >> dave: when we come back. >> clayton: after we come back. one hundred potato chips, or one hundred pringles.
