brian: but it's not his fault it took him so long to apologize. he was going to apologize earlier. you will find out in a second who he blames for his delay of game. our slogan this hour comes from check and louis in maine the site of the con controversial -- right, joel? i listen to "fox & friends" on my ride. they report, you decide. [captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- alisyn: good morning, everybody. thanks for joining us. brian: punch i was talking about. steve: why were you out of breath in the beginning? alisyn: there is not a long commute from our green room to our studio because we are doing construction here. i did not allot the 25-minute walk time. so joel and i just sprinted from the green room over here.

steve: it's good to have you. it's good all of you are joining us. speaking of sprints, the president of the united states made it very clear he wanted congress to sprint through debating whether or not we should reform our health care system in the united states. it's interesting, because, if you noticed yesterday, he backed away from that there was a little retreat. he had said they got to vote on it in both houses by august 8th before they go on vacation. now it's kind of maybe before the end of the year. perhaps it's because he is hearing the footsteps not only from republicans but from people in his own party. alisyn: absolutely from the first time yesterday abc news and the "the washington post" released a poll that the president's health care plan has dipped below 50% support among everyone. so up until yesterday, he had, you know, the american people behind him. they, too, feel that the medical system, our healthcare system is broken so they wanted it fixed. now when they add up the cost

and all of the criticism of it, it has dipped. he does want to do it very quickly before it dips even further. but he came out swinging yesterday. verbally against some of the senators who are attacking his plan. in particular, senator jim demint, republican from south carolina. let's take a listen to what demint said about the president. brian: there you go. it looks as though barack obama saw an open. ultimate campaigner. starting this week going to go out to the american people to sell his plan. a national press conference tomorrow at 8:00 eastern time. he says i smell some blood. this reminds me of the mccain battle so let's go after them and say this is politics as usual. here is barack obama with the response. >> this isn't about me. this isn't about politics. this is about a healthcare system that is breaking

america's families. breaking america's businesses and breaking america's economy. and we can't afford the politics of delay and defeat when it comes to health care. not this time, not now. brian: senator demint fired back again. you are saying the same things when you said in the stimulus package and that's been a clofl failure to this point. bill kristol said republicans should go for the kill here and destroy this plan. that, steve, plays into what you said about backing off on the deadline. if the president has a drop dead date of august 6th when the recess begins or august 8th and it doesn't happen, he is saying you can make win or lose out of belief american people, instead, we have got to get this done by the end of the year it sounds as if that whole soak the successful thing is dead on the vine. it's not going to happen. it passed by the house but the senate doesn't want to pass it then they would be tagged as tax

and spend liberals. but it's interesting, the may owe clip nick up in minnesota which is the are preeminent doctor place in the country. brian: cancer any serious illness you want to go to the mayo clinic from around the world. steve: they came out and said this system they are proposing in congress stinks. in particular, they said unless legislators create payment systems that pay for good patient results at reasonable costs the promise of transformation in american health care will wither. they don't like it. they have looked a lot at it. alisyn: that's a stunning one. steve: you have got republicans. you have got some democrats. you have got the mayo clinic. and now you have got delay of game. brian: 10 years $1 trillion. how do you pay for that? nancy pelosi says i have got a problem with moderate democrats who don't want to go along this plan. let's raise the cap. instead of getting on people

make them pay more making $500,000 individually let's just make it $1 million. what if you pay another $30,000 in the plan and in the end we are only taxing 1% of the u.s. households. as glenn beck will bring on in an hour. 1% of those people are hiring a lot of us. and if they are getting taxed more, they might not hire us anymore. alisyn: she is saying it's more palatable when you think of it as a millionaire's tax. you think of the millionaires we all know and donald trump and how many jobs he provides to people and they think better. brian: he will sue you it's billionaire. steve: i am thinking trillion narrow. alisyn: fellow at a think tank. steve: jeffrey anderson.

alisyn: figured out government-paid health care ends up costing more than private health care. the numbers. it gets complicated. you can see here we have done a graft gratify to explain all of this. steve: starting 1970. tracked it through four decades. now he has concluded that per patient the cost of being on medicaid and medicare is now at almost $9,000 per patient. whereas a private health care per patient is 7119. steve: wait a minute, little lady. alisyn: you challenging my math? steve: the president of the united states. brian: just your gender. steve: i'm not challenging that the president has made it very clear that the key to solving this health care problem is to have the government in charge. have the government run it and manage it and costs will go down. yet, this fellow from the pacific research institute has concluded that it has cost over the last 40 years, when you look

at the cost of private health care and you look at the cost of government health care, government health care has actually gone up one third more than the private stuff. brian: if you talk to doctors, they are not thrilled when they get a patient in who has medicare or medicaid. if you are going to make the medicare, medicaid system a national system. not many people are punching the air or saying this is what we need. seven minutes after the hour. what we need is to find out what else is happening behind the health care debate. alisyn: federal reserve chairman ben bernanke is in the hot seat this morning. the fed chair will testify on capitol hill and face tough questions from lawmakers on bailouts and when all this stimulus spending will finally end. bernanke will also have to defend the administration's plan to expand the fed's oversight of companies whose failure the white house says could bring the national economy to its knees.

well, the u.s. soldier kidnapped by taliban forces in afghanistan may now be another country. we are getting reports that private first class bowe berg abdulah's captors may have taken him to afghanistan. these are still photos of bergdahl. they are from a taliban video that fox news has chosen not to air. officials at the pentagon say they still believe bergdahl is in afghanistan but won't provide any more details. he disappeared july 2nd near the afghan/pakistan border. first service man captured in afghanistan since the invasion began. well, a big set back for closing down the prison at guantanamo bay. the white house says it needs another six months to complete a report on how to deal with the detainees there. the report was supposed to be finished today. president obama says he still wants to shut down the prison by the end of the year but white house officials cannot decide on how to interrogate prisoners or

where to put all of them. and it's wakesup time in space. shuttle endeavour and the international space station astronauts are just getting their wake up call. today, the space shuttle's robotic arm will do some work and the astronauts will participate in a twitter youtube event. twitter is everywhere. even in space. brian: i think they are going to be on it. alisyn: meanwhile on jupiter, check out what nasa's telescope captured. see that big white circle? astronomers think an asteroid hit the planet. five months after being beaten bloody, chris brown -- well, he is the actual culprit, now wants you to know that he is really,really sorry for what he did to his ex-girlfriend, rihanna. >> i am very sad and very

ashamed at what i have done. my mother and my spiritual teachers have taught me way better than that i have told rihanna countless times and i'm telling you today that i'm truly, truly sorry and that i wasn't able to handle the situation both differently and better. alisyn: brown published the apology on his web site. in june he pleaded guilty to violently attacking rihanna. those are your headlines. brian: ban know is the leader of an irish band called u tube. steve: you have a man crush on bono. brian: in very heterosexual way. bono has been on the record saying that president bush has done more for the cause of aids in africa and for his cause in relieving debt in africa than any other president, including president clinton. when he had an opportunity to talk he thought candidly and perhaps vift privately about how he dealt one-on-one with president bush. he was singing a different tune.

steve: bono did not have a man crush on the former president george w. bush. here he is mr. bono on the bbc. >> that particular picture with george bush, it was a speech at the national prayer breakfast. and there were all kinds of people in the audience. and he was giving me a hug. what i was doing there is dodging the hug and trying to hide behind the podium. when i sat down, i was sitting beside senator obama. and soon to be president. and he just said nice work with the hug dodge. steve: the hug dodge? he dissed him. alisyn: you don't have to hug everybody if you don't want to. ok, steve? i give you permission. steve: you absolutely don't have to hug everybody. brian: do you think this is a valid point that senator obama dissing his president to a rock star is kind of odd. alisyn: he is trying to be cool.

brian: bono has the cool thing locked up. you can't be cooler than a rock star so don't try even if you are obama. alisyn: good lesson. brian: do you want me to give you a second to write that down. alisyn: don't be cooler than a rock star. i'm going to quote you on that. brian: while they are jotting that down, let me tell what you is straight ahead. the video is terrifying. a four-year-old boy and sister and mom trapped in a burning suv. wait until you hear who rescued them in the. alisyn: disgusting peep show. individual know reporter not wearing any clothes then the video was posted online. how do you protect yourself? isn't this illegal? chloe is 9 months old. she is the greatest thing ever.

woman: one little smile, one little laugh. - honey bunny. - ( coos ) we would do anything for her. my name is kim bryant and my husband and i made a will on legalzoom. man: it was really easy to do. - ( blows raspberries ) - ( laughing ) robert shapiro: we created legalzoom to help you take care of the ones you love. go to legalzoom.com today and complete your will in minutes. at legalzoom.com we put the law on your side. a heart attack at 53.

i had felt fine. but turns out... my cholesterol and other risk factors... increased my chance of a heart attack. i should've done something. now, i trust my heart to lipitor. when diet and exercise are not enough, adding lipitor may help. unlike some other cholesterol lowering medications, lipitor is fda approved to reduce the risk... of heart attack, stroke, and certain kinds of heart surgeries... in patients with several common risk factors... or heart disease. lipitor has been extensively studied... with over 16 years of research. lipitor is not for everyone, including people with liver problems... and women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. you need simple blood tests to check for liver problems. tell your doctor if you are taking other medications, or if you have any muscle pain or weakness. this may be a sign of a rare but serious side effect. i was caught off-guard. but maybe you can learn from my story. have a heart to heart with your doctor... about your risk. and about lipitor.

alisyn: welcome back, everybody. let me tell you some stories we are following for you. california lawmakers finally agreeing on a budget deal to close the state's 26 billion-dollar deficit. the compromise with governor arnold schwarzenegger does not raise taxes but it does include $15 billion in cuts. most effected, health care, welfare, and public education. bc boy adam yauch announcing hes had cancer. on the web site he says it's a very treatable tumor in salve tore gland. he is 43 years old and likely undergo surgery next week. brian? brian: thanks, alison. well done. the white house holding off on releasing mid year budget report until congress is in summer recess. it's due now. why the delay? is the economy even worse than

expected? how you can ask for a health care plan while things are worse than we thought. joining us now republican political consultant andrea tantaros and juan williams known simply as juan when we are in the break. juan, first off, why is the president delaying? is this politically savvy of him or is this showing something that will kill his health care program if we find out how bad the economy actually is? >> well, i think both are true. you know what? the white house points out that if you look back to the first year of george w. bush or bill clinton, the same report wasn't released until late august or even september. but i think it's also true that they are not interested in putting out bad news about the economy, given all the talk about the high cost of this health care proposal. brian: right now, andrea, the current deficit, it looks to be four times what it was last year at 455 billion. george bush left it the current deficit looks to be $1.8 trillion. if you are going to propose a

health care program that's going to cost a trillion. maybe now is not the time to release the numbers. >> time is not on his side. the white house is using the excuse well george bush and bill clinton delayed their budgets yes, but barack obama prom missioned us extraordinary change. not the status quo. he was going to be the most transparent administration we have ever seen. but, look, you said it. quadruple deficit. unemployment skyrocketing. the they didn't just misdiagnose the patient they screwed up the patient. these numbers reflect that they don't want this to get out because it will hurt their credibility. brian: rasmussen did a poll. whatever it means for the next presidential election. barack obama and mitt romney if they had an election today overall in a dead heat. 45% to 45%. this is a guy that trounced john mccain who trounced mitt romney 53% to 46%. how significant? >> not at all. in the business of american

politics, if you had a matchup right now with barack obama versus romney, barack obama would not only crush him. it would be the biggest landslide. i think we would go back to 1964 or something. it would be unbelievable. numbers like that pop up right now. romney has in terms of his economic background. people may be focused on the economy. barack obama seems to be in a summer slump. that's all i would put to that. >> no, no, no. i think this is a growing trend. i will agree with yuan this poll is a snapshot. it's early. barack obama's polling has nose dived 15 points in the last three months. i wrote a column a month ago. health care is going to end obama's honeymoon. i predict a rose. the bloom is falling off obama's rose. is he going to become very unpopular in the coming months. brian: will he get his health care program by august 7th? >> >>

>> that's a tough one. i think that they may take something that's very small and claim victory and get out of town. i don't know. i'm kind of wondering if there is too much pressure here. coming from democrats by the way not republicans. brian: you are going to say no. >> that's right. god willing, no. brian: great job. 10 minutes before the bottom of the hour. a scary being filmed in hotel room without knowing it. it happened to a famous sportscaster. that peep show posted online for everyone to see. what if it happens to you. how do you protect yourself from voyeurism and once something is online is, there any way to get it off line. the answer is next. @ ou.

step forward. help renew america at usaservice.org

brian: go to foxnation.com to start my day. here is why. look at the top stories right now. wake up america, if you want to fix our financial system write a check for $27.7 trillion. we don't know what's going to happen to that gitmo deadline. we are going to be going over this shortly on our show. barbara boxer gets in a knockdown, drag out shia fight with someone accusing her of being racially insensitive. those are three of the stories on foxnation.com. make sure you do to it. i know these three people did. here they are. alisyn: creepy peeping tom caught andrews changing in her hotel room. he filmed her through a peephole in the room's door and posted ton the sweater. the video has been removed from

most sites and espn is going after anyone who continues to publish it what if this happens to you. what are your rights? steve: privacy lawyer michael fer tech is the ceo of reputation defender. he joins us right now from san francisco. good morning, michael. >> good morning. how are you? steve: she is furious. i don't blame her. it was either a peephole or hole in the wall apparently in a hotel in omaha now when she was coverage the college world series. i understand there are protections state by state but in some places there are no protections if this happens to you. explain that. >> the federal law in this field is actually pretty new. there is no protection against peeping toms in federal law unless you are sitting on federal land which is pretty remarkable. about half the states have protection against peeping tom provisions but they tepid to be against the person who actually made the video or the photograph at a n. a particular case. not against the web sites that are most the content. in fact, the law of the internet

is very clear. if a web site is hosting content. put there by somebody else, then the web site is, in fact, fully immune from liability associated with the content posted by somebody else. alisyn: how can this be, if this is ill gotten gains as we say of a peeping tom voiristic video. why wouldn't all the web sites that put it on be liable for something? steve: accessories? >> so you are right. a lot of people think the peeping tom activity is actually a crime. in half the states it appears not to be. and the way the internet law has been set up since 1996, it immunizes web sites for content that's been put there by third parties. it's not the law as i would have create it. it made sense in 1996, but it may not make sense anymore. now in 2009. the internet has grown up. it has matured. it is no longer what it was back in 1996 when the only way to go to the web was to say aol or

prodigy. the internet is now a very different and much more multi-faceted place so videos like this can get -- alisyn: what protection do regular people have against this happening to them? >> the good news is for regular people the videos don't get spread on file servers. let me say one thing that i think you are wrong about. this video of erin andrews is everywhere on the web. she is very easy to find. she is a celebrity. it will be easy to find forever. propaganda forever. it will not spread or propagated propagated. steve: thank you for joining us today from san francisco. he is reputation defender. just talking about how it's everywhere on the internet. be forewarned because apparently there are a number of hackers who have put on the internet. you have think it's her. you open it up. you get a virus.

your computer turns off. alisyn: so when you go trying to find it this morning. steve: don't do it. meanwhile, midway through a flight a passenger says he felt a burning sting. you won't believe what bit a man in mid-air and where the venomous critters came from. sounds like a movie, doesn't it? alisyn: yes. also, this was no movie. a mother and her two children trapped inside a burning truck. good samaritans will stop at nothing to get them out. take a look. >> the baby in there! >> this entire thing caught on camera. we will tell you how it ends. also, happy birthday to robin williams the actor and comedian turns 58 today. in six different ways?

steve: it is a very, very rainy morning in new york city. we are delighted you would.join us wherever you are. gretchen has the day off and ali is in her chair. alisyn: great to see you guys. remember the retreat days after accepting federal bailout funds.

in ironic twist citigroup now seizing that california hotel. the bank took over the st. regis monarch beach and golf course resort after months of negotiations over a 70-million-dollar loan that was in default. resorts like the st. regis which indicater who-to-wealthy travelers are suffering some of the steepest in the recession. steve: forget about snakes on a plane. about scorpion i don't knows on. bark scorpion on a flight on southwest airlines. >> seat belt or whatever. and the next thing you know i feel something crawling up my leg and i went to go sweep it, and that's when i felt the sting. steve: brian just said this was his biggest fear. alisyn: sworp i don't know on a plane? steve: he apparently was not seriously injured. the sworp i don't know that bit

him and five other baby sworp i don't knows hitched a ride in the guy's luggage. the sworp i don't knows was killed when the flight landed and the plane was. venomous but can wind up in death. alisyn: where are they coming from? he wants to avoid that airport. brian: pick your own seat. truly random when you go on there. if you pick the seat with the sworp i don't know. steve: sounds like they were in his luggage. he brought them on board. i blame tsa. where is the scanner? doesn't that pick up scorpions? brian: 4-year-old and 2-year-old and their mom trapped inside a burning suv. >> it would have been much more severe, officer obleski bringing the fire extinguishers gave us 5, 10 seconds. 5, 10 seconds made a difference

between this boy living and this boy dying. brian: show as group of people surrounding the burning vehicle. then two men use pipes to break the windshield. the crowd pulled the woman and 2-year-old daughter to safety. the 4-year-old boy is still trapped in the backseat belt on. that's when two brothers who also are off duty firefighters arrived on the scene. watch. not really. we will watch later. the boy is in critical condition condition. steve: there is the video. alisyn: burned over 30% of his body but it would have been much, much worse if it had been 5 to 10 seconds longer. steve: just listen to the pandemonium. >> come on. come on. get her. get the -- brian: what a great salute to that neighborhood. took action rather than sitting by. another big story, steve. steve: that's right. an honor you probably shouldn't be proud of. lisa henderson is a finalist in

a dirtiest apartment contest. alisyn: i didn't even know that's going on. i could have entered. the most slobly winner gets a cash prize of $1,000. alisyn: she wins. steve: she says she is proud of her sloppy ways and blames the mess on busy schedule. after she entered the contest her embarrassed mother traveled from arkansas to clean the place from top to bottom. ok. but she still won the prize. widely scattered as you can see showers throughout portions of the northeast from jersey right up through portions of new england. we have got some heavy thunderstorms in southeastern portions of kansas, northwestern portions of oklahoma and the trail of thunderstorms down through portions of texas as well. rainy day in the northern plains. dry from the mid-atlantic down through portions of florida and out west as well. that's a quick look at your fox travelcast. now a quick look at sports with

brian kilmeade. brian: troubling news, off the field trouble for steelers quarterback ben roethlisberger. he has the super bowl trophy and now a host of problems. accused of sexually assaulting, just accused by the way a woman in a civil lawsuit. filed by employee at harrahses in reno. roethlisberger forced her to have sex in his hotel room. the super bowl player's attorney strongly denies it. there will be an investigation. we will see. controversial player passes a legend. manny rams goes home run. in the second inning he did it against the cincinnati reds. the dodgers won that game 7-a is he going to get in the hall of fame? not in this era. david beckham says is he committed to playing in the u.s. despite hearing boos everywhere he place despite his hometown of lang. look what happened as he had a game with millan know. beckham went into the stands and

tried to confront one of the fans as security went whoever and stepped in. they are calling him names like trader and fraud over his desire to play in italy. saying i'm best friends with tom cruise. this may be part of beckham fatigue in this country. mls ticket sales slumping. beckham says he was waving the guy over to say i know you don't like me but shake my hand. when he walked over to shake his hand, security grabbed the guy and threw him out. when people don't like you you shouldn't ask to shake their hand. alisyn: learn that in the first 15 minutes of the show. remember your wisdom about hugging and everything? brian: right. you are talking about the bono, bush. two people we all get the chance to meet. steve: sometimes you have two people together in a situation where they simply don't get along. take a look at this exchange. it is between harry alford, who is the ceo of the black chamber of commerce. he was called before barbara

boxer, a senator from california. a senate hearing. all about climate and the cap and trade bill which mr. alford referred to as a hustle. it gets heated. listen. >> i'll quote john grant who is the ceo of 100 black men of atlanta, quote clean energy is the key that will unlock millions of jobs in the naacp's support is vital to ensuring that those jobs help to rebuild urban areas. so clearly there is a diversity. >> madam chair that is con descending to me. i'm the national black chamber of commerce and you are trying to put up some other black group to pit against me. >> if this gentleman, if this gentleman were here, he would be proud that he was being quoted. just as he -- >> -- he should have been invited. >> just as he would be proud -- >> -- it is condescending to me. >> just so you know, he would be proud that you are here. he is proud, i'm sure.

>> proud, proud. >> that i am quoting now. >> all of that is condescending. i don't like it. it's racial. i don't like it. i take offense to it. as an african-american and a veteran of this country i take offense to that. >> offense at the fact that i would quote -- >> -- you are quoting some other black man. why don't you quote some other asian. i mean, you are being racial here. brian: there is a back story to that. in that harry alford. his appearance last night about will o'reilly says he doesn't like the way senator box are treated condoleezza rice who n. her confirmation hearings to become secretary of state. barbara boxer was behind the anita hill and justice thomas controversy back in the 1980s. he was ready to go here. alisyn: she is quoting an obscure head of business. she makes the point here is a black man who supports cap and trade. what was her point? why can d. she pluck that

example? she had many other examples to choose from. steve: mr. alford has looked at cap and trade and he says this is a business killer. this would cost and he cited during the hearing a statistic that 2.3 million jobs would disappear. anyway, bill o'reilly as brian just mentioned a moment ago did call mr. alford up and asked him if he would show up on the show last night to explain what happened betwixt him and boxer. he showed up. listen. >> first of all, the naacp had a resolution saying they are for a better environment. i'm for a better environment. i'm sure biffle o'reilly is for a better environment. bill: absolutely. >> it did not address cap and trade. bill: you seem to object to the fact that she was pointing out a black group was counter mannerring your black group. you didn't like that. >> it was pure race. s it wake loon there in mississippi back in the bad old days when one black preacher would rise up against the big boss. he would go find another black

preach everywhere to fight against that black preacher. it was ugly. and she jumped -- she opened up a mud pit that i wasn't going to jump into. steve: she was invited on to the show last night, barbara boxer, she declined. alisyn: all right. meanwhile, a revolt against the president's health care plan. new numbers show the support for universal health care is on a serious slide and it may all have to do with who will pay for it. brian: he took a popular infomercial and made a hip pop remix. now is he making tons of money off of it how the guy that created this video are cashing in thanks to youtube. steve: and the internet. ♪ he has been waiting around for the weekend ♪

if we don't act, medical bills will wipe out their savings. if we don't act, she'll be denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition. and he won't get the chemotherapy he needs. if we don't act, health care costs will rise 70%. and he'll have to cut benefits for his employees. but we can act. the president and congress have a plan to lower your costs and stop denials for pre-existing conditions. it's time to act.

brian: subway operator who slammed his train into another train injuring 62 people says he is scared of the situation he is in. 24-year-old aden quinn was released on his own recognizance after pleading not guilty to charges of gross negligence. he admitted to text messaging his girlfriend while behind the controls of the green line trolley. moments before crashing. now, if convicted, quinn could face up to three years behind bars. also, the newest iphone i pod touch application make it easy for users to find the nearest joint. simply titled can business. shows user where they can buy pot in 13 sthats have approved medical marijuana legislation. alisyn has no use nor that application. alisyn: i do have use for this next segment. making youtube videos is not just a hobby anymore. some are turning the art of

video sharing into a very profitable business. how can we all do that? our next guest's videos became so popular that they are now earning big bucks. lauren lukes started out uploading video makeup tutorials and james took infomercial and turned it into a musical remix. welcome, guys. >> thanks for having us. lauren, i want to start with you. you have a beautiful british accent. i should let everybody know before you speak. you also, that's not how you made millions of dollars. you started a makeup line and you started little videos of how to apply makeup. and then what happened? >> that was it. i switched on the camera and decided to show the world what i did with me makeup. alisyn: thnged they became wildly popular makeup tutorials. you now get more hits on the internet than president obama or national geographic. how many have you gotten? >> heading up to 52 million.

>> ok. steve, you turned a commercial infomercial into a dance remix? >> yeah. i mean, initially, it was just kind of a joke i was sharing with friends. i thought it would integrate music into this video. say that infomercial. i thought that could be fun to mess around with. what the result ended up being was basically the first video music remix of an infomercial. alisyn: that is a cool idea. i fail to see how you make money doing that. >> i guess initially you take the sacrifice by uploading something for free on youtube it's almost like a online running resume. as soon as you upload something to youtube people can see it and vote for themselves. now i'm doing work for companies who have seen that work on youtube. alisyn: i see. that's your video resume. that's your calling card. people like it and they hire you. >> right. alisyn: lauren, how did you turn these 52 million hits that you got for your makeup demonstration into dollars or in your case pounds? >> i suppose it's a little bit

like he was saying. it's all about putting yourself online and where you wouldn't necessarily get spotted before, you are out there for the world to see. if somebody likes you, they will come along and say would you like to work for us, also. we have this business proposal and how would you feel about make -- absolutely fantastic. alisyn: you guys are inspirational. i'm sure that lots of people would like to turn their quirky little youtube videos into millions of dollars. lauren luke, steve porter, thanks for coming on to see your story. >> of course. alisyn: is the tide turning against the president's health care plan? it had a lot of support in the beginning. buff now that that band was gone is losing some members. we hear from some americans about why they are no longer supporting the health care proposal. taking its rightful place

in a long line of amazing performance machines. this is the new e-coupe.

>> even as america's families have been battered by spiraling health care costs, companies have reaped windfall profits. >> does president obama's health care plan represent socialism? >> next. next question. steve: ok, that last guy was rnc chair michael steele. before that familiar guy president obama trading barbs over the massive health care plan being touted by the administration and debated by congress. new poll shows support for mr. obama slipping substantially. frank luntz is a fox news analyst. frank, take a look at that right there. there it is july right now. less than 50% of the country, according to the "the washington post" is supportive of the health care reform bill being touted by the president. >> there is several reasons for it make no mistake. the american people still

support health care reform and still believe people should be insured. what they don't believe the plan that is being pushed by the house or the senate if we can figure out which plan it is. number one, they don't want it rushed. they want to take the time to do it right. steve: they did it with the stimulus and that stunk up the place. >> number two the administration promised us 8% unemployment rate. what do we have now 9. a and it's heading toward 10%. don't make the same mistake a second time. you say, mr. president, this is going to save us money. a trillion dollars? what exactly does a trillion dollars get you? so, each of those three things are new developments over the last six weeks and it's causing the support for this plan to fall. >> what did you ask your people? >> we did a dial session. we have been testing all of theedads that have been running for and against the health care plan. the one we are going to show today very effective. putting patients first is the organization that did it take a look how well that dial score runs. >> washington now runs your banks, insurance, and car

companies. but do you trust washington with your life? congress is rushing to take over health care, too, paid for by $600 billion in new taxes. and cutting 400 billion from medicare. plus, tens of millions will lose their current insurance. and wind up on the government health plan. what will happen to your family's health care if washington runs it? steve: the red line republicans, it was going up meaning they approve of that message. >> they agree with the message. even democrats agree with the message. what they don't want is a government takeover. they are very nervous. what is different now than eight weeks ago. american people are doing more than personalizing it at that point they said what does it mean to me? me? now they are looking at a trillion dollars and saying what does this mean to america? alisyn: that was one that was obviously against the health care plan. what was the next question you asked the group? >> i don't know if we have another dial session. brian: we do. >> let's take a look. >> almost everyone agrees we

should reform health care but many in congress want to create a government-run health insurance program paid for by taxpayers at huge costs. independent experts say tens of millions of americans could lose their current health insurance and wind up on this public plan. england already has government-run health care and their breast cancer survival rate is much lower. if you find a lump, you could wait months for treatment and potentially life saving drugs could be restricted. government control of health care here could 300,000 american women with breast cancer might have died. alisyn: that's effective. >> this one does even better because it's not unseen announcer. real person talking about the threats, the challenges. what we have found. again, it's patients first. what we have found with their advertising is that it is the most effective for one specific reason. real people. real situations. brian: there is a real opportunity, i guess, for some republicans to maybe get their points across and be heard. >> we are going to go through this tonight on hannity at 9:00

p.m. all the advertising, all the language, all the polling. we are going to lay it out for the american people. i hope you guys will watch it 9:00 p.m. alisyn: thanks so much. congress is spending our cash like it's monopoly money. members on track to spend more money than any time in history. 3 trillion more than it did at the end of world war ii. steve: we're going to talk about glenn beck about that next. great apology tour continues. this time hillary rodham clinton saying the united states is sorry for global warming. here to weigh in in three minutes.

alisyn: good morning, everybody. who have will pay for universal health care. nancy pelosi says it should be the rich. what will -- god bless you glenn beck. what will that do to the jobs that rich people create and will nationwide coverage even work? the one state where it is

universal is considered a universal failure. glenn beck is here with a cold appropriately to figure this all out. brian: or is it snearlings bring your own claritin. he was investigating a close pal of the president. inspector general walpin was fired. is he firing back. he joins us live. glenn beck is linked to him, too. steve: he has cracked the colonel's secret recipe. the guy who says he knows the exact 11 herbs and spices in kfc's chicken. he has put it in this book. glenn has had plenty of chicken. the guise who figured it out and a bunch of other recipes from your favorite chains in the cookbook. our slogan comes from lester craig, "fox & friends" giving you the truth, of the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. brian: now go fight crime. [captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- brian: senator john mccain is going to be here shortly. i feel like i'm bragging in

front of glenn beck. steve: glenn beck himself the king of 5:00 p.m. eastern time featured there in extreme close up will be joining us shortly. please, back away from the camera. brian: glenn is growing his hair out. steve: very rainy day does the humidity effect beck? >> bad hair day. alisyn: your hair is defying gravity at the moment. we'll be with you in one second. i want to bring your headlines right now. we have update on our top story. kidnapped may be in another country. we are getting reports that private first class bergdahl's captors may have taken him to pakistan where u.s. forces are not allowed to operate. thee these are still pictures of bergdahl. officials of the pentagon say they still believe bergdahl is in afghanistan. but won't provide any more details. private bergdahl disappeared

july 2nd pakistan afghanistan border. first soldier kidnapped since the u.s. invasion began. federal reserve chair ben bernanke on the hot seat. he will testify on the hill and face sharp questions from lawmakers bailouts and when stimulus spending will finally end. bernanke will have to defend the administration's plan to expand the fed's oversight of companies whose failure the white house says could bring the national economy to its knees. the senate is set to vote on whether spending $2 billion on seven f-22 jets makes good economic sense. the pentagon says it doesn't want the outdated planes. and president obama has threatened to veto the measure if the f-22 money remains in the defense bill. it would be the first veto of his presidency. she thought she would never make it out alive. that's what nancy tyler is saying about the day her ex-husband held her hostage at gun point. richard shankman accused of handcuffing her and lighting the

house on fire for the first time. nancy is talking about that horrifying day. >> what i was able to do was to talk to him. i talked all day because that kept him calm. but when he got angry and enraged, that's when the gun went to my head. and there were several instances where there were count downs if the police didn't do something. >> it was only when shankman got distracted that nancy was able to break free and run from the house. shankman also survived by hiding in the basement. he is now being held on 12.5-million-dollar bond. imagine going an entire year without throwing anything in the trash. that's what one oregon couple is doing. instead of going to the garbage dump, everything they buy is either recycled or reused. >> as long as you approach this from the mind set that when you go to the store you don't buy something you know will have to be thrown away in the first place and you just buy something that you know is recyclable or

you do without, then it's not really a problem. alisyn: the couple is now three weeks into their experiment. they were inspired by the movie wally where a future world is covered by garbage. brian: i hated that movie it made no sense. alisyn: i want to try that at my house. we throw out a lot. >> we are going to save all of our trash. you are out of my friendship circle. steve: you are not very social. >> no, i'm not. not when people are saving their trash. steve: to social to socialism is obama's plan socialism? >> yes. shear better question though. i learned this during the monica lewenski trial. everybody was having the argument he did it, yes, he did, no he didn't. yes he did. it went on for months. the debate changed after we found the dress and everything else. the debate was see, did he it. it doesn't matter. he did it.

it doesn't matter. does socialism matter? are we a socialist state? should would he be going down the road of socialism? if this isn't socialism, what is al at president says it's going to make the private insurance company more competitive. suddenly they will have a government competitor that they have to. >> unfair government competitor. here is a government who says we will be able to do things, which first of all, did you see the price of ham yesterday, so don't tell me that they can make things cheaper. what they are doing is they create certain conditions that the private sector they won't allow to do. how. brian: it's applicable here. >> it's what? brian: it's applicable. thank you very much. steve: stop it. brian: are we live? glenn, ford is complaining we are competing against g.m. and

chrysler and the government is giving loans to them first. >> of course. alisyn: it's not a level playing field? >> if i hear the words level playing field from people in washington one more day. i'm going to hang myself. i can't take it. level playing field. steve: the president has made it very clear that cost -- it's all about cost containment. cost will go down if the government runs the system. we have a big graphic over there a fellow by the name of jeffrey anderson at the pacific research institute has tracked health care in this country over 40 years. they start together in 1970. then up to today, it winds up medicare and medicaid run by the government actually cost a third more than private health insurance. >> something i wrote down this morning. i don't have a little chart or anything. it's not great. in the 1960's when we started medicare and medicaid they said in 1990 it's going to cost, these are crazy projections it's going to cost $9 billion.

when we actually got to 1990, it cost $66 billion. these people have no idea what they are doing. as evidenced by barack obama now holding back his his budget and half a year budget. you have to come back and say ok this is what we said and this is what it is doing. he is holding back because those numbers are all out of whack. at this point we are going to give him a third of the economy to run? bill. steve: he said bush and clinton did that too. >> i thought we were in the new era. why are we playing the politics of the past as he likes to say. alisyn: nancy pelosi has suggested some people are balking at paying all of this including freshman democrats who represent some of the richest regions in the country. las vegas, northern virginia. their constituents don't want to pay for it nancy pelosi says ok, let's just make it a millionaire's task. >> i know. isn't that great?

i hate these millionaires i have this friend who is a billionaire john huntsman is he usually showing up with the big hospital that he made. look at me i built a hospital. stop it, donald trump ail wants his name. i counted nine buildings on the west side highway that he built just so he could have his name there getting people to build big buildings for us. what is wrong with us? i have never worked for a poor man. you have? i don't see them giving out jobs. steve: when i worked for my dad i did. >> ok. well that's true. brian: more on that later. >> we are creating everything our founding fathers tried to get away from which is a class system. if you are uber rich, you are going to be fine, if you are in the right company, you have the right connections, you are going to be fine. but other than that, oh, don't even try. you will never be a millionaire in this america with obama. brian: what i thought for the

longest time and they thought that mitt romney was going to ride the massachusetts health care program right to the white house. did not work out well. you did something on your show that reviews what massachusetts did and what the country shouldn't. let's take a look. >> for years, progressives have pointed to massachusetts as the success story when it comes to universal health care. but is the three-year-old plan crafted by democratic lawmakers and republican mitt romney really such a success? while only 2.6% of the state residents are uninsured. a sixth of the national average, and by far the lowest rate in any state, the plan is farm from the beacon of hope it's proponents make it out to be. public citizen and physicians for national health program released a report earlier this year calling the program flawed due to its costs, alaska access to care, and the remaining number of uninsured. massachusetts is now spending $595 million more on health insurance than it did in 2006.

a 4% -- a 42% increase. brian: make everybody have insurance therefore the medical profession will be paid. >> the savings isn't there they said were going to be there. they said we would make a a $0 million fines if you didn't have health insurance. that's north there they got $4 million out of that the lines, the emergency rooms are worse than they were. the lines to go. alisyn: how can that be true -- the whole point is if you have access to your doctors, you don't have to go to the emergency room. that's the argument. >> because lines to go in to see your doctor and physician now are the longest in the country by far. like 50 or 56 days to go see your doctor. it's bad. steve: from health care to cap and trade. nancy pelosi had a committee up on capitol hill. they called before them harry alford the ceo of the black

chamber of commerce. now now, harry doesn't like cap and trade. he call was it a hustle. nancy, you know to. >> barbara boxer. steve: thanks very much. the naacp and the group called the 100 black men of atlanta. he didn't like it. he said there was a racial components to it here he is explaining why he does not like cap and trade. >> in the end, this cap and trade hustle will were to be delivered to the american people, in the end we would have 2.3 million less jobs than we do now. it does not make sense. steve: clearly he is against it she didn't like his answers. >> yeah. but i'm sure that, you know, he is proud that other black people have been quoted by barbara boxer i'm sure. that was the most insulting thing i have ever heard. brian: that's what started the firestorm. >> yesterday or over the weekend the commerce secretary over in

china said that china balkman says we are never going to do your cap and trade thing. don't even talk to us about it. >> that's ok. maybe because america is buying the products, we are the ones contributing to global warming. we should pasmed increased price don't have to pay we will. this is nothing but a distribution of wealth. this is let's destroy and we involve the american culture and the society that we live in. brian: laughed at the proposal that hillary clinton walked in with. steve: after she apologized for our global warming. >> we are committing national suicide. we watch it every day. it's national suicide. alisyn: i feel better now that we have spoken to you. brian: are you going to stick around. you don't tease us a lot on our show. tease us.

>> that is a ridiculous outfit. alisyn: well done. >> brian: glenn beck is sticking around. steve: that's not a tease, that's a taunt. brian: meet the guy who says he has figured out the secret recipe to kfc. the story glenn beck doesn't want told. [ horn honks ] [ sigh ] a lot goes through your mind after an accident. but with liberty mutual, insurance issues won't, because we offer unlimited rental coverage, new car replacement, and accident forgiveness to help ease your mind. and that's our policy. liberty mutual insurance.

alisyn: welcome back. secretary of state hillary clinton picking up possibly on the ongoing apology tour. >> love that will a al where president obama left off. take a listen. >> we acknowledge now with president obama that we have made mistakes in the united states and we along with other developed countries have contributed most significantly to the problem that we face with climate change. we are hoping that a great

country like india will not make the same mistakes. >> i know. brian: not only does india not agree with. this the indian people fear -- she traveled with the global warming czar with the administration. when they heard that guy made the trip they began to panic. >> india, listen to me, we are so sorry that we changed the world in medicine. we are so sorry that we brought television technology and satellite technology to the world. we are so sorry the microwave oven, what a mistake that was. gosh, we're sorry for all the innovations that have come out of the united states. brian: they are not asking to be apologized to. >> no, no. we need to. we are such a horrible group of people. you have heard the story about the small post office box blankets? oh my gosh what a horrible society we live. in i can't take it anymore. you name the country that has done more good than the united states. have we had bad periods in our history? have we made mistakes? yes, who hasn't.

india, let's just take a p.h. balance of the rivers over in india. why? because they have absolutely no progress over there. they are living in squalor. these environmental lists drive me out of my mind. >> brian: you know what the indian government said we have to worry about poverty first. >> exactly right. you can worry about the environment when you are not in poverty. learn that from india. these people are trying to push the united states into poverty. i mean, just ask yourself, america do any of these things make sense now if they don't, don't allow them to do it. steve: the retiring glenn beck. >> retiring? is there a cake? steve: tv show. radio show. alisyn: nice to see you. his job was to investigate a close pal of the president's. but then the president fired

him. inspector general gerald walpin not taking that sitting down. he joins us live. he is fighting back. @ @

ha ha! yeah! the option to name your price -- new and only from progressive. call or click today. brian: 23 minutes after the hour. it's your news by the numbers. first, $20 million. that's how much paula abdul to return to "american idol." her fans starting a keep paula campaign on twitter. she thanked them with a tweet of kisses and hugs. 700,000 how many books barnes & noble have online. now the largest digital bookstore and they are bragging. finally 13 days how long it took a huge dust storm to travel around the world. the storm started in china tracked on global satellite. steve: he was investigating a

close political pal of president obama's, but as he was doing that inspector general gerald walpin was removed, fired, canned from the post. now he is suing for wrongful termination. and he joins us live this morning. good morning. >> good morning. how are you today? steve: doing ok. have you been on the show before. we talked about how you were investigating how kevin johnson, who used to be in the nba and now is the mayor of sacramento, his organization unwisely spent a whole bunch of dough. you were going after him and saying he should not ever get any more federal dough. eventually, you were removed and you feel it's political payback because you were getting a little, you know, you were being disfavorable to an ally of barack obama's. >> well, actually, i was fired because i was doing my job and doing it well and supporting my staff who are totally career people. and who are objective and found out the facts and came to me with those facts. and i said well, you found the facts.

let's proceed on them. steve: the consensus was that this guy had done what. >> he had misused totally the grant of $850,000 that was given to him for americorps people to do tutoring among those disadvantaged students in the area. steve: so, it's getting -- clearly, you were putting pressure on him but your bosses were saying, jerry, just back off. leave the guy alone. >> well, they, in fact, went around me and settled with him and then i found out the facts, as well as objecting to that, found out the facts that there was an obstruction of justice that emails had been erased that our office had subpoenaed and financial records, which we wanted to see, and never got, we were told, learned that they were in the possession of mr. johnson himself. steve: doesn't look good. >> well, and so i and my office were doing our jobs and i get fired. steve: you got fired. the white house said you were? >> disoriented, confused, and

couldn't answer questions. i will let you and the audience decide whether that has any accuracy whatsoever. steve: i don't think so. but do you think they were suggesting oh the guy is too old for this job? >> they were suggesting code words for sen nittle at my age. i'm proud to be 77 and coming back to contribute something to the country. steve: there is one problem though. the white house didn't follow the statute. >> that's correct. that's what i'm suing about. the statute was passed to protect inspectors general from interference. steve: we need watch dogs. somebody is messing with the system. that he was what you did and you got fired. >> if a watchdog is afraid he will get fired if he messes with the system and investigates. then watchdogs are worthless. steve: what do you want? >> i want to be reinstated. i want the law to be applied and the court to reinstate me and say i was fired improperly. they didn't meet the statutory requirements. steve: do you think it's going to happen? >> i'm always an optimist in our

system but we will see. steve: very good. gerald walpin former inspector general at amaker corps. email us right now, do you think the guy should get his job back? foxandfriends.com. tough enough to prosecute terrorists. now the new hate crimes bill making it tougher. senator john mccain who is opposed tom it joins us this half hour to explain. steve: hillary goes on the word your own greta van susteren. she has a plan to deal with north korea qga do nothing. that's straight ahead, too. how 'bout one from our golf outing?

steve: i have been in television for 30 years. i have never seen what i just saw during that commercial timeout. brian: which was? alisyn: what was that, steve? steve: alisyn used my blackberry as a mirror. alisyn: yes. i'm sorry what did you refer to this as, seriously? this does something else than show me if my lipstick is on correctly? brian: i was wondering why my mirror kept vibrating. i'm not sure. last night i watched greta van susteren at 10:00 at night but yet i was still here in the morning. i will be crossingy later. and i watched her sit down because she got the call come interview the secretary of state over in india. and she sat down and listen to what the secretary of state said about the next leg of her journey when she goes to

thailand, the north korean foreign minister there. will they talk? listen. >> i'm going to be talking to the chinese, to the russians, to the south koreans, to the japanese, to others who will be there. i don't have any plans to talk to the north koreans. they know where we stand. brian: wait a second. doesn't knee show the new rules, we have to talk to our enemies. steve: go talk to the bad guys directly. brian: right. if she was president, she was not going to talk to them. she made clear talking to them was folly. steve: maybe she thinks she is president because she is not going to talk to them. alisyn: some people think she is slightly off the reservation she feels differently than the president does. brian: she let that slip. if that was joe biden who said that that would be screaming headlines everywhere. joe biden agrees with the secretary of state. -- looks fine, steve. should not be talking to our enemies that don't deserve to be talked to because they are shooting missiles at us.

alisyn: if you love that you will love this next one. greta also asked her whether or not north korea should be on the list of state sponsors of stairs. brian: do you have the tape? alisyn: let's play it. >> if they do get put on that list what does that mean to hem. >> further puts the screws on them at least from the united states' perspective. we have international screws that are pretty strong right now. we want to keep working those. i think those will have a greater impact because, you know, there is very little commerce, if any. and very little that we can do strictly from the american perspective without partners, without people who see the world the way we do. and, you know, i'm really greater weight of the evidence that more and more people see those threats as we see them. steve: one other thing that greta did touch on because greta is very thorough. great journalist. brian: that's why she is a van susteren. steve: she asked about chelsey

what's the deal with her and that guy? >> the rumors about your daughter chelsey getting married? yes or no? >> well, if that's true, i don't know about it. so i hope the answer is. no no, she is not. there is no truth to that i keep reading it and we keep saying it's not true, it's not true. but for some reason it doesn't seem to go away. alisyn: i believe her. brian: who is the guy? alisyn: her long-time boyfriend. brian: i figured that. i figured it's not a mail order russian man that you subscribe to in a magazine. steve: what? wait a minute, you can mail order russian men? what? brian: i'm saying i just think it's a long-term relationship that i know nothing about. steve: i will give you a name during the timeout. brian: other news, besides chelsea news we begin with a fox news alert. right now vice president joe biden in the ukraine. he arrived yesterday and will make a joint statement today with president victor you chank co. the vice president's visit is

part of a bid to strengthen ties with the exsoviet country. ukraine's leaders looking to ensure u.s. protection and support if it's -- and along with its bid to join nato. tomorrow the v.p. will head to georgia another exsoviet nation that was in its sphere that wants to join nato. alisyn, you are in our sphere. alisyn: thank you, i'm honored. president obama's own party is starting to turn on him a bit over health care and quickly spreading to house democrats. nancy pelosi now suggesting that tax hikes to pay for universal health care should be scaled back. pelosi and senate leader harry reid are both pushing back the timetable for health care bill. this as more moderate democrats signal opposition to the health care plan. steve: meanwhile, it is day 6 of shuttle endeavour's mission to the international space station. no spacewalks today. but the shuttle's robotic arm will take care of some repairs. meanwhile, check out this picture of jupiter taken by nasa's telescope in hawaii.

see that white spot. apparently they theorize something big slammed into the planet leaving the scar the size of the earth. astronomers think it was comet or asteroid. meanwhile regarding the space shuttle and the international space station, they have fixed the toilet. brian: good. by the way, we have no verification on that. we just got to go with nasa got hit by a meter your story. if they would give us a picture and tell us what happened we have got to go with it. close the 26 billion-dollar budget deficit. the compromise with governor arnold schwarzenegger doesn't raise taxes but does include 15 billion in cuts. most affected, health care, welfare, and public education. >> suspense movie. but, like i said, we have accomplished a lot. this is a project budget that will have no tax increases. a budget that is cutting spending. brian: the plan includes

borrowing from local governments. moving money from other government accounts and collecting taxes. well the california state budget may be in shambles but governor arnold schwarzenegger is saving the day for a bunch of seals. a judge ordered the seals removed from a children's pool at a california beach. that makes sense. but the governor stepped in and signed a new bill overriding an older law so now they can stick around. it's good for the budget, too. the city was going to spend almost $700,000 to chase the seals away. steve: i have been to that pool. and the -- you don't want to get too close to the seals. because it's their beach. alisyn: so the kids can't swim in it. steve: seal beach. brian kilmeade has news on shaq. >> one of the guys i subscribe to on twit tore track him. shah imeel o'neil ready to compete against the best in all sports. in part of his new reality show swim against michael phelps,

[captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- steve: i have no idea who that is.

republican lawmakers speaking out against a bill that has passed the senate that expands federal hate crimes law. they say that it will make it more difficult to prosecute terrorists. brian: senator john mccain has spoken out against the bill. i know you're passionate by the fact that this crime bill does not belong in the defense bill. >> i have never seen, in the years i have been here, the majority leader of the senate once the defense bill to move forward, which is all about the defense of this nation and the care for the men and women who are serving, he takes an amendment offered which had to do with the funding of the f-22 and put a hate crime amendment on the bill, which has nothing to do with defense of the country. republicans reacted in somewhat of a negative faction, to say the least. the majority leaders wanted a

crimes bill, which has never gone through the judiciary committee, on a defense bill. it has nothing to do with it. it is an abuse of power. steve: that is a crazy story. you touched on something important. this hate crimes amendment has not gone through the judiciary committee. that seems to be a short circuit in of the system we have had for a couple hundred years >> it is a complete shorts are kidding. what we have to pass -- we have to pass an authorization bill to care for our wounded warriors, and provide them with the equipment that they need. for a weekend have, we have been bogged down. apparently, the democrats are using this bill to try to get support for health care reform before the week -- before we go out of session. i have never seen anything like this before, putting this big an issue on a defense authorization bill.

brian: you want me to bring up, the f-22. why shouldn't we have this plane? >> we should. we have 187 of them. we should now built the joint strike fighter, to complement and build out our air combat systems. by the way, the f-22 has never been used and i reckon afghanistan. therefore, it is a very necessary follow on. it will complete our inventory. in the view of the secretary of defense, we have built enough. we need to move forward with the joint strike fighter. steve: they took a the f-22 out of the defense spending bill. all eyes are on health care. healthcare is suddenly retreating a little bit. the president no longer saying

that you have to pass it by the time you go on vacation in august. this new poll shows that the american public, only 49% joint support. do you think part of this has to do with the congressional budget office guy saying that this is not want to lower costs, it could actually jack up costs? >> that is absolutely right. the congressional budget office said that it could absolutely increase costs. it is a dramatic expansion of the role of the government into health care. by the way, the mayo clinic, one of the premier health care providers, has come out strongly against this bill come on like a the ama and the pharmaceutical industry, which as been bought out by the administration. do not underestimate the power of the majorities of congress to jam this thing through. do not underestimate that. they have the lobby's behind

them. brian: it would be surprising if you could check the data -- for the president to get that done by the time recess happens. you could be relaxing, watching a diamondbacks game. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you for having me on. it is always a pleasure to be with you. steve: straight ahead, and islamic congress that we talked about yesterday, held in america's heartland. the group directly connected to al qaeda. could this group have been an affront to recruit terrorists? details in the next hour. brian: president obama congratulates bono for not hugging president bush. you are one person, but you can move a nation.

you can walk with a purpose to end alzheimer's... by joining us for memory walk. [ man ] you invite three people. [ woman ] and they'll invite three people. and before you know it, you have a team. more than 5 million americans... may not be able to stop the progression of alzheimer's. but we can. step up. move a nation to end alzheimer's. start a team today. go to alz.org.

finally, good news for people with type 2 diabetes or at risk for diabetes. introducing new nutrisystem d, the clinically tested program for losing weight and reducing blood sugar.

hi i'm mike, and i lost 100 pounds on nutrisystem d when i was first diagnosed with diabetes, that first step was more like a giant leap. till i discovered nutrisystem d. in a clinical study people on nutrisystem d lost 16 times more weight and reduced their blood sugar 5 times more than those on a hospital-directed plan. plus a1c was reduced .9%. choose from over 140 menu options, there is no counting carbs, calories or points. i lost 100 lbs. and lowered my blood sugar level. nutrisystem d changed my life. mike is one of many who have lost weight and controlled their diabetes with new nutrisystem d. backed by 35 years of research and low glycemic index science nutrisystem d works. satisfaction guaranteed or your money back! new! nutrisystem d. lose weight. live better. call or click today. alisyn: a showdown in the

senate. democratic senator barbara boxer gets racial when discussing climate change and one man would not take it. >> i do not think she can help herself. when she gets caught up against a wall, race comes out. alisyn: more from a bout with senator boxer. we report, you decide. steve: a little boy trapped by his seat belt in the back of a burning sport-utility vehicle. >> there is a baby in there. steve: watch who jumps into action armed with courage and a set of pipes. brian: a sportscaster walking around newt has no idea she is being taped. what can you do if that happens to you? bella says in the morning with

mighty, what can be better than the big three? >> i remember of the of women's professional soccer team. i am better than brian. steve: she was here and she wanted me to tell you, hello. brian: she found her bra. it was missing. steve: she had donated it to a sports museum in lower manhattan, which found -- which wound up going bankrupt. there was a scuffle over who owned it brian: i believe gretchen was playing the role of gretchen. alisyn: it is great being with you guys. meanwhile, there has been a 180 at the white house. president obama is now backing away from the deadline that he set to reform health care. mike emanuel joins us live from

the white house. we know that there were supposed to have this all wrapped up before the august recess. now, what is the deadline? >> the president says that he wanted now, but maybe can let it float a few days. here is what he had to say. >> i want this done now. if there are no deadlines, and nothing gets done in this town. you have been around here long enough to know. you have to say, get this done. if somebody comes to me and says, it is basically done, it is a point to spill over by a few days or a week, that is different. >> there is still heavy lifting to do on health care reform. steve: we understand the local paper down there, "the washington post" 49% of americans now support changing the health care system. the president apparently taking to the airwaves tomorrow night.

is it going to be at 8:00? is it going to be at 9:00? >> that is right. it was moved to 8:00. it will be 8:00 tomorrow night. the president goes prime time to try to sell health care one more time to the american public. he will go to prime time and make his case to the american public this week when he is really pulling out all stops to sell health care reform, not just to members of congress, but directly to the american public. brian: evidently, concerned about the popular show that its network was not going to take his conference. steve: susan boyle was going to be on. brian: why would she be on? she is not american. >> nothing gets ratings like susan boyle. steve: thank you very much. brian: he was called to capitol

hill to testify about cap-and- trade. when he went in front of senator barbara boxer, had a clash. i did not realize there was a background to this klatsch. he knew that she was really behind anita hill's battle during the hearing of clarence thomas. she gets skewered by senator boxer. steve: he is the ceo of the black chamber of commerce. he does not think cap-and-trade is a good idea. they called him up to talk about it. he does not like the fact that suddenly she quotes the naacp, which is for cap-and-trade. she also quotes a the ceo of john grant.

here's the interchange. >> will john grant, who is the ceo of 100 black men of america , clean energy will unlocked millions of jobs. clearly, there is a diversity on this. >> that is condescending to me. i am danash -- i am the national black chamber of commerce and you are trying to put up another black group. >> if this gentleman were here, he would be proud that he was being quoted. >> he should have been invited. >> he would be proud. >> it is condescending to me. >> just so you know, he would be proud that you are here. he is proud, i'm sure, then i am quoting him. >> that is condescending. i do not like it. that is racial. i take offense to it.

as an african-american, i am a veteran of this country. i take offense to that. >> offense to the fact that i would quote -- >> why don't you quote somebody else? you are being racial here. alisyn: she is not responding to that. why was she only holding up examples of other black male leaders? and she was doing a different red herring, he would be happy that i would be here. steve: 1 not invite him? alisyn: bill o'reilly invited both of them on his show last night. here is what he said. >> first of all, the naacp had a resolution saying that there for a better environment. i'm for a better environment. i'm sure bill o'reilly is for a better environment. it did not address cap-and- trade. >> you seem to object to the fact that she was pointing out a

black group. you did not like that. >> it was pure race. it was like back in the bad old days where one black preacher would rise up against the big boss. he would find another black preacher to fight against that one. it was ugly. she opened up a mud pit that i was not going to jump into. steve: he also said that after his interchange with barbara boxer, laich's 7500 e-mails -- he got 7500 e-mails. brian: a very effective sports person. alisyn: we have an update for you. the u.s. soldier kidnapped by taliban forces might now be in another country. we're getting reports that

private first class bergdahl's captors might have taken him to pakistan. these are from a taliban video that fox video has chosen not to air. they will not provide any more details. he disappeared july 2 near the afghanistan/pakistan border. a big setback for closing down the prison at guantanamo bay. the white house says that it needs another six months to complete a report on how to deal with the detainees there. that report was supposed to be finished today. president obama wants to shut down the prison by the end of the year. the white house cannot decide on how to interpret the prisoners or where to put them all. secretary hillary clinton arriving in thailand today. she is meeting with leaders about north korea's nuclear

program. she just left india where she struck a major arms deal that gives washington oversight into the country's weapons program. when the sale goes through, it will be one of the biggest arms deals in the world. a former inspector general who says that he was fired for political payback is now suing to get his job back. he was investigating kevin johnson, a prominent obama supporter, when he was fired. >> i was fired because i was doing my job i was supporting my staff, who are totally career people and our objective. they found out the fact and came to me with those facts. let's proceed on them. the administration claims that he was fired for being disoriented in a meeting. a creepy peeping tom captured erin andrews walking around

naked in her hotel room. he filled her through the people and posted the video on the internet. earlier today, we talked to a privacy lawyer about your rights if this ever happens to you. >> a lot of people think that the peeping tom activity is a crime. in half states, it appears not to be. the with the internat law has been set up since 1996, it immunizes websites from content that is put there by third parties. it is not a law that i would have created it. it made sense in 1996. alisyn: if this were to happen to regular people, they could probably get a video taken down. for celebrities, it is harder to make the videos go away. he claims that there are tons and tons of this still up there on the internet. steve: some hackers have apparently put on line, if you go to that particular website,

apparently there are some viruses that if you think this is the shot of the espn lady naked, you click on it, and you get a virus. brian: you should not be clicking on anybody. when he took office, his popularity in ohio was sky high. now the people in the swing state are pulling away. someone running for governor has some insight. alisyn: terrorists recruiting americans? this morning, we're going to talk to the mother of a marine who says that this is a kick in the face of every american. what's up, smart? being smart. yep. just booked my 10th night on hotels.com, so i get a night free. you. me. getaway. really? where? anywhere you want.

a bed and breakfast? bed and breakfast. check. a place by the beach? a place by awesome. oh, you are smart. accumulate 10 nights and get a night free. welcome rewards from hotels.com. smart. so smart.

steve: welcome back on this tuesday. support for president obamas

agenda apparently on the slide. a new poll shows on the president's to most important issues, health care and the economy, his approval ratings have dropped eight points. some prominent democrats are questioning the president. john caskik joins us live. i cited the washington post poll that shows less than 50% of those in the country support the president's health-care initiative. a new quinnipiac poll asked ohio voters, do you approve of the way president obama is handling his job? back in may, it was in 62%. now he is down 13 points to under 50%. what is going on with the president in ohio? >> i think it is happening really around the country in our state, the unemployment rate is up significantly. people are very concerned as to whether they are going to find a job.

in addition to that, you have a situation where pretty -- people are pretty smart. how're we going to pay for this stuff? it is going to affect my kids and my grandkids. if you add all that together, people are taking a second look. they're saying, we're not so sure this guy knows what he is doing here. steve: all you ought to do is look at the stimulus package. the president said, we have to have this right now. if we do it, we can stop unemployment in its tracks. adding back then, it was around 8.5% the stimulus does not really -- they have only spent a fraction of the money, but it does not seem to be working. >> it added to the deficit, which people worried about what the president did wrong is he turned it over to a bunch of yo- yos on capitol hill. they took care of one another

and slapped one another on the back. unfortunately, we spent a lot of money and we do not have a lot of results. the public is saying, we spent all this money and we did not get anything for it? that is why he keeps having press conferences saying, give me time. at some point, people lose their patience. steve: which is at john mccain on. he said, do not underestimate members of congress from the president's party. it might not happen before the august recess. it sounds like something is inevitable. >> i have to tell you something. of all the things that they are doing, this concerns me the most. i will tell you why. once the government gets into the health-care business, they are going to have health czar who is going to tell us who we can go and see. we could be on the way to government control madison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we all get sick.

i do not want the government trying to take care of my health care. i think the people are going to speak out. democrats are getting nervous, including democratic governors who are warning the president about this bill but we cannot know how we're going to pay for it. steve: he would like to be the governor of ohio. once upon a time, he was a congressman from that state. >> i was a fox news man. do not forget that. fair and balanced. steve: thank you, john. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. a mother drops her kids off at the local mall. she got arrested. two of them were toddlers being watched by a 12-year-old. it is part of a new trend called range free kids. is that a good idea? a little boy trapped by a seat belt in an suv being engulfed by flames. >> there is a baby in there.

brian: quick headlines now. the subway operator who slammed his train into another train and injured 62 people says that he is scared of the situation he is now in. he was released on his own cognizance after pleading not guilty to charges of gross negligence. he admitted to text messaging his girlfriend while behind the control of the green line trolley. in the market for a new small car? a new report from the insurance institute for highway safety gives a the ford focus top stores in new crash tests.

now here's a woman who has no ends. alisyn: thank you. a woman leaves a 12-year-old daughter in charge of a 3-year- old and drops them off at a mall along. the mother was arrested. there is a new movement of parents that believes in giving kids more freedom. is this a good idea? is it asking for trouble? she believes her 9-year-old and 10-year-old is more than equipped to roam free. we're also joined by a family relations coach. she has 28-year-old. she does not want them roaming the streets. >> absolutely not. alisyn: let me start with you. your book is very controversial. it means having the freedom that we all had growing up, where your parents do not know where you are for hours at a time. you might be riding your bike around the neighborhood, but people would say that the world

has changed. >> you know what has changed? this has changed. there is 24-hour cable that our parents were not watching. there are tv stations that are going to our robot or portugal to find you the worst of dr. and stories and you switch the channel to csi and a there are maggots on a baby. if feels like we're living in very different times. statistically, we're back to 1970 in terms of crime. crime went up in the 1980's. your kids are outside now and you are outside insect -- in the 1970's, they are safer. alisyn: that is hard to believe. >> very hard to believe. alisyn: where does more aware of child abductions or do you feel that your kids should not be out running the streets because it is dangerous? >> i believe in safe freedom. at me is that there are limits where there are no predators around. there is an age appropriateness. every two minutes, someone in a

-- someone in the country is sexually assaulted. the majority of those assaults happened within a mile of their home. what does that tell you about who did it? alisyn: you famously allow your 9-year-old to ride the new york subway along. >> in terms of age appropriateness, what i'd like to say is that says we're back to the crime levels we were growing up, what you were doing as a kid was no less safe than it is now. if you were babysitting at 12:00, i think that is -- >> i totally disagree with that. there are children who are not age appropriate to be in charge without parental supervision of a young child. if there is an emergency, a situation where there is a fire, what does the child do?

they save themselves and they leave the baby in the house. if you need to drive somewhere, who is going to drive your baby when you are out at the mall, shopping? alisyn: that is what the police concluded. >> we do not always have to think in terms of the worst case scenario. an abduction, a fire, and needing to ride -- >> that is good parenting. >> i think that. is thinking about what is most likely going to happen. >> you do not know what is going to happen. alisyn: obviously, this is a very heated debate. i will put this on my blog. thank you for joining us. alisyn: midway through a flight, a passenger says that he feels a stinging burn. he had just been bitten by a scorpion. how that creature got on the plane. >> do not ride planes anymore.

care costs, our current congress is on course to be the highest spending congress in american history. look at that number right there. brian: will the spending by our way it back into economic stability? bobby jindal joins us now. were you shocked to see the vice-president say that we need to spend our way out of it? >> i am no longer shocked by anything i hear out of washington. now, this health care plan, they're trying to tax our way into health care plan. they want to raise taxes on employers, small businesses, people who do not want to participate in their health program -- the heritage foundation says that our talks -- our top tax rates could be higher than many european countries. more than 50% in many states. it makes no sense.

there is not an economist in the world would say it makes sense to raise taxes during a recession. we cannot keep printing money. you look at the trillions of dollars that we're spending, our grandchildren have to pay this back. steve: in new york state, and there was an item in the news last week that said the highest marginal tax rate for some of our most successful people would be approaching 60%. there is bad news for the administration today. the mayo clinic has come out -- they know all sorts of stuff about what works and what does not work. they say that this plan going before congress will not work. >> when i was the executive director of the bipartisan medicare commission, the mayo clinic counted the pages of rules and regulations in the medicare program. they're absolutely right. if you listen to the rhetoric, what we hear is that if you like

your healthcare, you can keep it. we hear that they want to expand access to the reality is, this plan as nearly $1 trillion to the deficit. according to congress on buffett -- own budget office does not actually reduce government health-care spending. this plan actually puts the government in the room. you have bureaucrats getting in between doctors and their patients. one independent study says, as many as 100 million americans might leave their private health care for the government-run health care. at least you have to give senator kennedy credit. his ideal is a single payer government paid system. i would say to the house democrats, if that is what you want, it least tell us that. let's have that honest debate. do not tell us that this is going to bring down costs and we are going to be able to keep our own private coverage. it impedes quality. alisyn: americans are unhappy

that millions of americans are forced to use the emergency room as their private doctor's office. so, what is the answer? >> that is exactly right. there are several things that we can all agree on. for example, let's attack those frivolous lawsuits. defensive medicine might be costing us as much as $100 million a year. let's allow small businesses to get economies of scale let's let dr. sanh plans put prices and outcomes on internet. we can choose the best provider and the best plan for our needs. let's adopt portable electronic patient records so that we can reduce the paperwork in health care. let's make insurance truly portable. does require insurance companies to cover those who are sick. it should not just be through your employer. you should be able to buy it through your church, union, bowling league, however you want

to buy health care professio. let's not put government bureaucrats back in charge. we have seen when i was when the government has a monopoly. brian: you did not go to the governor's conference, but there were a few democrats that weighed in on what this could be. why are the states so concerned? why did they believe, including democratic governor in montana that they believe this burden is going to end up in their laps. what they see in this? >> if you read the plan, you're seeing a huge expansion in government-run programs. democrats and republicans are rightfully concerned there is no guarantee what happens after the first few years. and i'm not sure why the house democratic plan relies so heavily on expanding government- run health care. we do have problems with our health care system it delivers

the best quality in the world. let's actually fix the problem. one of the things i do not buy, when you hear from the other side is that the government has to sponsor a plan to make competition work. we do not have government-run factories and newspapers. what is next? they are already trying to run the banks and the car companies. brian: if you were going to run for president, when would you decide? quote we have a lot of work to do here in louisiana. i'm running for reelection in louisiana in 2011. a alisyn: steve? steve: we start with a fox news alert. new video just into our newsroom of vice president joe biden in the ukraine. in a joint statement this morning with the president there, the vice-president said washington supports ukraine's bid to support nato.

ukraine's leaders say that they are looking to ensure u.s. protection and support. mize president biden will head to georgia that also wants to join nato. alisyn: anchor is rising after the controversial hate crimes legislation attached to a necessary defense spending bill senator john mccain said that he had never seen anything like it. >> now, we are all bogged down because the majority leader wanted a hate crimes bill, which has never gone through the judiciary committee, which it should come on a defense bill permitted has nothing to do with it alisyn: john mccain also says that the a crimes legislation could make it harder to prosecute terrorists. or beat -- steve: hundreds of pages of warning and research have been in for fear of angering

congress. the former head of the national highway traffic safety administration was urged to withhold driving data. according to those data, driver distraction contributes to about 25% of all police reported traffic accidents. brian: 20 minutes before the top of the hour, five months after his alleged assault, chris brown ones you to know that he is truly story. -- he is truly sorry. >> my mother and my spiritual teachers have taught me more than that. i have told her and i'm telling you today that i am truly sorry. i was not able to handle the situation differently and better brian: he published the apology on his web site. it said it took him so long because his lawyers told him to be quiet. in june, he pled guilty to violently attacking rihanna.

alisyn: this story is real. a passenger stung by a venomous scorpion on a southwest flight. >> he thought it was his seat belt or whatever. next thing i know, i feel something crawling up my leg. that is what i felt the sting. steve: do you get charged extra for that? alisyn: he was not seriously injured. the scorpion that bit him hitched a ride in the luggage. the scorpions were killed and the flight -- and the plane was fumigated. i have never seen you really have a reaction like this. brian: a scorpion climbing up your leg -- steve: if there is a big spider, do you have to leave the house? brian: iran for the hills. steve: 80 minutes before the top

of the hour. a terrifying scene caught on camera in milwaukee. a 4-year-old, a 2-year-old, and a mother trapped inside a burning suv. >> i do not have any gloves. >> come on. steve: it shows men using points to break the windshield. the crowd pulled the woman and her 2-year-old body -- hurt 2- year-old daughter to safety. the boy was trapped in the back. two off-duty firefighters arrived at the same. >> it would have been much more severe the officer would bring in the fire extinguishers. give us five or 10 seconds. five or 10 seconds made the difference between this boy of -- this boy living and this boy dying. >> there is a baby in there.

steve: right now, the boy is in critical condition. alisyn: incredible. brian: and islamic conference held at the hilton hotel in chicago. was it a front for al qaeda? a mother for a marine? it's a -- thinks it is a kick in the face for all americans. alisyn: you just bought something and then the story goes out of business. what do you do? stick around. we will have the answer. nine generations of the world's most revered luxury sedan. this is a history of over 50,000 crash-tested cars... this is the world record for longevity and endurance. and one of the most technologically advanced automobiles on the planet. this is the 9th generation e-class. this is mercedes-benz.

brian: we first told you about an islamic conference held at the hilton hotel in chicago. it is true. put on by a group with ties to terrorists. they may have been using this meeting to recruit new members. one mother whose 23-year-old son is currently in afghanistan is outraged.

that mother wrote us this e-mail yesterday. what happened to the america i know? every day, i worry about getting bad news concerning my son. when i see things like this group being able to even exist here while our military is over there risking our lives every day, our young men and women should be here predicting this country, their country. she joins us right now from gainesville, florida. your son is serving over in afghanistan. you saw this. you heard about this. you took action. what offended you most? >> just the fact that they are able to operate in this country and hide behind all of our laws that were designed to protect us. my feeling is, if 9/11 was not a wake-up call for all of us, what is it going to take?

to me, it is unthinkable. it is unthinkable that we have been told that we should be more protected after 9/11. we are not. it seems to be such a contradiction that all of our military are in other countries fighting this terrorism to keep away from our shores when it is operating in our back door. it breaks my heart. i am thinking that if i feel this way, i cannot imagine how the families feel that have recently lost loved ones in afghanistan as well as iraq. brian: we're seeing lance corporal richard bass. he told you that it was going to

be hard to communicate with you. in particular, when you think about two people tied to this organization, zarkawi was affiliated with this organization. having your son over there trying to once again get al qaeda out of the region, how does that redouble the pain and put a big question mark over your head about the direction this country is headed? >> i am losing face in our government to stand up and have the guts about this. as i said, it seems like such a huge contradiction. we are trying to fight terrorism, but it is right here in our back door. what are we going to do about this?

i feel quite confused about the fact that it is even going on. brian: thank you so much for telling your story. thank you for putting him over there fighting terrorists in afghanistan. we will continue to follow this story. >> thank you very much. brian: 10 minutes before the top of the hour. you bought it, but you do not want it anymore. simple things that you can do to protect yourself from the experts at consumer reports. let's check in with another expert. what is happening on her show? megyn: welcome back. here is the question of the morning. is the white house burying its budget to help its health-care reform plans? the president loves the mayo clinic, but it is not neutral. not when it comes to health care reform plans. the prescription is in. the copps sticks his gun in the face of a young woman in a convenience store.

[laughter] >> you might want to. [laughter] alisyn: the first thing for everyone right now, go out and spend those but give cards pronto. >> you have got to get credit. if you think that the company might be shaky, do research if you are going to do business with them. or the better business bureau. alisyn: what should you pay with right now? >> a credit card. especially if you think they could be shaky, you have more protection. there is purchase protection. the credit-card company may cover you up to certain extent.

we may have some recourse. steve: one of your suggestions is to go to bankruptcy court, but a good step before that might be to whenever company manufactured it, go to their web site. "hey, look, i bought this." >> am i covered, am i still ok? you may be fine. you can go to the same court where the file bankruptcy and file a proof of claim and get in a long line of people waiting for money back. the consumer is at the end. steve: i shop at sears. thank you very much. we will be right back with more "fox and friends."
