transmissions are recorded. the public records law says they are to be made public so far we haven't heard that tape the city solicitor has to make that decision. the president did smooth things over with his calls to crowley and gates as well as his surprise appearance at the white house press briefing yesterday. >> i want to make clear that, in my choice of words, i think i unfortunately gave an impression that i was maligning the cambridge police department or sergeant crowley. >> reporter: we have to wait and see if that tape will be made public. it will be interesting to hear what gates said during the time of the arrest which was for disorderly conduct. >> thank you very much. later this hour we'll talk to the head of the national association of black law enforcement officers his name is charles wilson. we'll find out if he thinks the president has done the

right thing here. >> rush limbaugh going on the record for a rare one-on-one with greta van susteren he sounds off on what he thinks about the president. he says he thinks the president was influenced by his relationship with reverend jeremiah wright. >> last question on arrest of louis gates he was more animated, he came more alive, more passionate on that last question in chicago about the arrest and calling the cops ÷ there's a -- an undercurrent. i think obama is largely misunderstood by a lot of people. i think his association in his young life and early adult life mattered, the people that mentored him matter. we are finding out this guy has a chip on his shoulder, he's angry at this country, he's not proud of it. >> that's not all rush had to say. he harsh words for the media.

back. citing a new report by the white house council of economic advisers showing right now small businesses are getting "crushed by skyrocketing health care costs." >> because they lack the bargaining power that large businesses have and face higher administrative costs per person, small businesses pay up to 18% more for the same plans. costs that eat into their profits and get passed on to their employees. >> reporter: the president says democrats plans in congress would set up an insurance exchange where small businesses could compare plans and pick one that works best for them and their employees. the president says small businesses will get a tax credit to help pay for it. republicans are not buying it. they say the report is political spin coming out of the white house. the gop maintains that much of the one trillion plan will be paid for by tax on wet think

and small businesses and they point to a different -- on the wealthy and small businesses and they won't to a different study. according to national federation of independent business the democrats' plan will destroy a million more small business jobs. according to the nottology developed by the press's senior economic -- the health care will cost 4.7 million jobs over the next 10 years. >> reporter: congresswoman rogers says it would let the them ban together to buy insurance at a lower cost. tough talk from secretary of state hillary clinton about attempts by the oeufted president of -- ousted president of honduras to return to his country. >> president zelaya's effort to reach the border is reckless it does not contribute to the broader efforts to restore democratic and constitutional order in the honduras crisis.

we urge president zelaya and all other parties to reaffirm their commitment to a negotiated peaceful solution. >> as we speak the president is at nicaraguan border trying to get back into honduras. steve has more on the story. >> reporter: remarkable theme played out yesterday before hundreds of television cameras on one hand you have the ousted president of honduras, manuel zelaya on the other side, honduran police and military who have been ordered to arrest him if he steps over the board. zelaya took up that challenge briefly he took a few steps over that border, raised the chain over his heads to delights of his hundreds of supporters then he stepped back. there was some violence during the day. honduran police firing tear gas at supporters to keep them back. this move by the ousted president that has been

condemned by every government in the western hemisphere, his move by coming back yesterday with supporters has generated a lot of controversy. supporters say he had to do it he has to keep attention focused on the fact he'sa4tlf bn ousted by an illegal coup. the interim government here says the action was irresponsible, dangerous and even silly. the big question is what is next for that president ousted one month ago? he has tried to come back by plane he failed. yesterday he tried to come back on foot. after a few seconds he failed again. he says he may try again. there are many anti-zelaya protesters too larger than the leah protesters. the interim government says if he comes back he will be arrested. middle class backs that move they see him as a power grabber much like chavez in venezuela a man who tried to stay in office longer than

legal they say he could get 45 years for treason he comes across that boarder to stay >> thank you steve. >> >> taliban militants have launched another attack in southern afghanistan. they used ak-47's and rocket propelled grenades 12 miles from the pakistani border. at least three suicide bombers blew themselves up afghan official says all seven attackers have been killed. a defense ministry official said one may have escaped. no word on whether u.s. troops were involved in the fighting. it is election day in iraq's self-ruled kurdish north. kurds are going to the polls to elect the region's president and 111 seat parliament. two dom coalitions facing challenges from new opposition alliances some hoping to shake-up saying the current government is too corrupt. others want a government that will reduce tension with baghdad over oil and land disputes.

>> iran threatening to strike israel if it is attacked. reuters citing state television says the head of iran's revolutionary guards says iran will hit israel's atomic sites if tel aviv an being fast. iran has the missile capability to reach israel, the obama administration is sending senior foreign policy teams to israel this coming week. one of the things it is expected to tell israel, shelf any plans for such a military attack. >> the obama administration committed major blunder last week by leaking and deciding to investigate a highly classified program aimed at taking out al-qaeda leaders. that is the assessment of former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. john bolton who joins us now talk about that and the many other developments we've been reading up on in the mideast today. mr. ambassador, good to have you here. >> glad to be here. >> this program never really got off the ground. how much damage was done by leaking details they were

considering such a thing? >> i think a considerable amount of damage. it undercuts peep at the cia trying to think about programs that might be implemented, going to limit creativity. it tells al-qaeda that the cia is not out to use mortal force against them. >> you say the president will rue the day he made a decision to do this? >> i think cia director panetta would not have revealed this program to the hill without white house authorization. many house democrats want a public debate it. i think we should have a public remind the american people about the continuing threat for terrorism and the need to take strong actions against it to defend ourselves. >> let's attack about the middle east. a lot of activity seems to be going on. diplomatic activity, what do you read into this? >> a host of administration officials descending on israel this week. i think the most important

visit is by secretary of defense gates. his central task is to try to persuade or direct israel not to launch a preemptive military attack against iran's nuclear weapons program. that is something israelis have under active consideration. the obama administration, at least as far as we can tell, dead set against it. >> why do you think they are? >> i think they believe, the obama administration believes, at some point they will find a way to negotiate with iran this is a central element of their foreign policy, critical aspect, they try and distinguish themselves from the bush administration. it is a near religious faith they have in negotiation israeli attack obviously would change that >> as someone who has done his fair amount of negotiationses over the course of your career what do you think about the possbility of coming to some understanding with the people of iran? >> if it was negotiation with the people of iran, that would be different. i tell you this, there

is chance, zero chance iran will be negotiated out of its nuclear weapons program. everyday that goes by allows them to increase their capability. >> if we are not going to make progress in iran and asking the israelis not to have a plan to strike at iran's year facilities, it doesn't sound like we are headed in the right direction. >> inevitably without an israeli strike iran will have nuclear weapons. i think secretary of state clinton may have inadvertently indicated where the administration's thinking is when she said if iran did get nuclear weapons we would put our defense umbrella over friends and allies over in the -- in the region that's a way of saying we think we are going to fail diplomatically we will defend you but that's a bad outcome. >> your assessment all options are no longer on the table? >> i think that's right. >> good to have you. latest on the border patrol agent shot to death.

investigators want anyone with information to come forward. fox's heather ford has the latest. >> reporter: federal agents calling the u.s. border patrol agent seeking justice, rosa was gunned down during duty and now they are it is to capture whoever did it. >> everybody is disgusted a criminal can did this the violence against at agents, against this country, obvious answer is something that should not and will not be tolerated. >> reporter: this video captured by sky-fox shows the scene where rosas was shot tracking suspected drug smugglers at the time. other agents responding to the area heard the gun shots, then had no luck reaching rosas by radio. investigators found the agent in a mountainous area near the border they found his body outside of his vehicle, shot several times. fbi agents unable to confirm whether he was able to fire back but say they have one lead.

they believe one of the suspects involved was seriously injured during the attack. >> could be a gunshot wound. we believe it was significant enough to cause blood and cause the person to bleed, which leads us to believe it may be a wound that could have, would have required treatment, which is why we are asking for that sort after . >> reporter: investigators asking for help from both sides of the border to anyone who may have given treatment to someone with a suspicious injury they are offering a $1,000 -- $100,000 reward. leaves a wife and two children he was just 30 years old. >> we have to remind them this is a dangerous job we have to be alert, vigilant and ready for every threat. >> reporter: in chula vista, heather ford, fox 5 news. officials say pilot and passengers, married couple

week pushing his plan for health insurance reform. are there keynotes he should be hitting that are being left out? what needs to be done to sell the public on health care reform? here with his thoughts a good friend of this broadcast, doug good to see you. >> happy to be here. >> what notes is the president not hitting, in your estimation? what things does he need to be hitting a little harder? >> i don't think they made the case this isn't going to cost the average american an arm and a leg. and they haven't convinced the average american who is happy with his health care that a government-run bureaucracy is not going to step in and get in the way of care they really like. cost is number one. and care is number two. >> brian: when you sort of go out and ask people across america what they think about health care reform what is their greatest concern? >> you know, there's substantial measure of

americans of all parties who said let's expand coverage across the board. but there's equal numbers who say we are really worried about costs. we are worried about hurting the economic recovery which at at -- at best is just starting now there's fear that any health insurance reform will jeopardize our economic well-being. >> brian: as you know, a president has the best chance of getting hard things done early in the first term when his approval numbers are high. in the last week or two we've started to see signs that the president's approval numbers are beginning to slip a bit. how much does that hurt him, at this crucial moment? >> truth be known it has hurt him enormous as his approval overall heads towards 50 and his approval on health care issues goes toward 50 as well his ability to craft day deal as we saw this week gets+ weaker. that's one of the reasons why i think he has to go bipartisan and more broad in his efforts to seek a

coalition, something as yet he's not been successful in doing. >> brian: doug, you are a democrat what think about the squabble among democrats the blue dogs want this to be more cost-effective the liberal wing of the democratic party seems to want it to be -- give a little more largesse to people. what do you that fight? >> i think the 52 blue dogs and the moderate seven, eight democratic senators are saying the costs are potentially unsustainable in terms of our economy, the deficit, a one trillion dollar price tag i think the president has to step in and do a better job trying to build a coalition within his party and across the party divide if he's going to get this done this year. >> doug, good to have you thanks. be sure to tune in to fox news sunday, tomorrow, brett baier sitting in for chris wallace will sit down with white house

press secretary gibbses and republican senator jon kyl. tomorrow or fox news sunday. the controversy surrounding the arrest of harvard professor henry gates prompted the president to make a surprise appearance at yesterday's press briefing to comment on the issue of race and if it played a part in the arrest. >> the fact that it has garnered so much attention, i think is a testimony to the fact that these are issues that are still very sensitive here in america. >> brian: we'll get the latest on that story, when we come back. brian wilson in the washington newsroom, much more ahead stay right where you are. oyoñ

. the bottom of the hour here are the top stories we are following on america's news headquarters. the president appears with

little warning at the white house press room to say he should have spoken more carefully when he offered his opinion about arrest of a black professor by a white police sergeant. he's invited both to the white house to talk things out over a cold one. the professor says he will be there. >> health care reform still topic one. deadlines passing, moderate and liberal wings of the democratic party scrap over what reform should be and how much it will cost. blue dog democrats threatening to blow up the process unless concerns about cost are addressed. nancy pelosi says progress is still being made. we are just learning that in 2002 the bush administration apparently thought about sending u.s. troops to buffalo, to arrest a group of men who were thought to be plotting with al-qaeda. "the new york times" reports the idea was jammed over concerns that such action would violate the posse

comitatus act which prohibits soldiers to act as cops. president obama made headlines during his wednesday night press conference on health care. perhaps not for the reasons he wanted. mr. obama was asked to comment on the arrest of a harvard professor outside his cambridge home his response brought criticism and praise. joining us chairman of the national associate of black law enforcement officers, lt. charles wilson. good to have you with us, thanks for joining us. your thoughts, sir on where things stand in this sort of interesting story? >> well, based on what is currently being reported and the president's words the other day we are kind of hoping this entire issue is going to [ inaudible ] bring i want to ask you up front do you support the sergeant in this matter?

>> i'm going to tell you that in my opinion, both parties made mistakes. >> brian: so you think this is perhaps a moment where we can have a teachable moment on race relations in this country? >> yes, i do. again, both parties made mistakes. this issue could have been handled much differently had both parties deescalateed their efforts much sooner. >> brian: i can't help but notice, i've been covering this story out in oklahoma involving the state trooper and the paramedic. i see parallels in these two cases. i know this is a big discussion in law enforcement circles. do you see any parallels here? >> i see similarities.

i will say it that way. again, dr. gates could have handled himself more intelligently, okay. one of the principle programs of our organization is a think thing called to do when stopped by police. we educate people on the common sense things they can do so that when they have encounters with law enforcement, they are able to walk away from a battle they can afford to lose. >> brian: we have to leave it there charles wilson chairman of the national association of black law enforcement officers, thanks for joining us. a fifth and final space walk planned for monday, astronauts hope to tie-up looseneds at the space station including the installation of two tv cameras. earlier this week astronauts successfully installed four

>> reporter: to commensurate this 40th anniversary there's a lot going on this weekend. folks are touring this ship, buzz aldrin will be here going to hold a press conference, meet and greet with people. thousands are expected to turn out and witness a piece of history. it is quite incredible. >> brian: casey steigel, thank you. it has been fun reliving that some 40 years ago. anybody 45 or older remembers it all. in other news, california may be closer to having the cash to back-up the iou's they've been using to pay bills. law make areas greed on a state budget plan but it wind easy. they approved(d9:z about 30 bils which include spending cuts taking local government money and accounting moves. the measure almost closes the state's 26 billion dollar budget gap. the assembly rejected taking one billion dollars in transportation funding from local governments and allowing offshore drilling.

. >> brian: okay that mum nadya suleman has signed a reality tv show deal film i filming set to begin in september each of the children will earn $250 a day and $250,000 collectively over the next three years. a european producing company said to be behind the show. >> house and senate lawmakers continue to spar over whether the government run health care option will work. our next guest has seen her state's government try universal coverage. republican congresswoman marsha blackburn from tennessee is a member of the house energy and commerce committee and joins us live from nashville. representative blackburn thanks for joining us. what happened in tennessee? what did you learn from the experience? >> in tennessee we have -- [ inaudible ] in 1994 this was the test case for public option health care what we learned very quick a

two billion dollar program became an eight billion dollar program. it continued to eat up every new dollar of revenue that was coming into the state. we saw a tremendous amount of cost shifting take place. and the rates, the interest rates, the private insurance go through the roof. you saw the cost go up in the state. we began to see our hospitals have problems with reimbursement rates. our physicians and providers had problems with reimbursement rates. one physician said to me during the days with were working diligently on the funding, the reimbursement rates were low and they came in slow. that persisted throughout. we also saw what happened with the program which was a gold plated insurance program, the free insurance public option, we saw people that had private insurance move over to that public option insurance. indeed, 55% of those that

moved on to the program were those that were uninsured. the other 45% that were migrating from private insurance on to the public rolls. >> brian: it sounds like there were myriadñr problems and it got expensive. the president's health care czar knows what happened in tennessee, does she not? >> well i would hope she does. my hope has been the czar and the secretary of health and human services secretary sebelius will be looking for lessons learned. the similarities between the program offered now and the fact that our program was the first test case out of the gate, if you will. there are lessons that should have been learned from 1994 going forward on this program. indeed, we though that in order to bring the cost under -- into a more manageable situation for the state, for

the legislature who cannot tweak the program because it is a medicaid delivery program but who are charged with the cost. one of the things they to do is remove people from the rolls. with our 800,000 medicated -- medicaid eligible in the state the enrollment went to 1.4 million. >> brian: we have to leave it right there. i think the lessons learned we need to look carefully at what we step off into. >> absolutely we do not want the perils of our program to be forced on the nation. >> brian: what do you think about the health care debate? we asked are you worried about the presidential health care profess -- proposal could mean for your current plan? 43% said yes. 24% said no. 33% said somewhat. to weigh in go to foxnews.com/ america'snewsheadquarters. that's all for me in

washington. but it is always rolling on. kelly wright and jamie colby are up next. thanks for joining me, see you soon, bye-bye! welcome to a brand new hour of news headquarters. >> the search is on for two suspects who may have killed a border agent. new information on where the gunman could be right now. >> president obama hopes he has put a huge controversy behind him. he took to the podium of the white house briefing room himself yesterday admitting he used an unfortunate choice of words when he said the police in cambridge, massachusetts in his words, acted stupidly, when they arrested black scholar henry louis gates. the president said he spoke on the phone with the arresting officer his name is james crowley seen here at a police

news conference yesterday, just a couple of hours before the president had that little speech and his fellow officers and commandersgú(xú defending hs acts. the president telephoned professor gates and invited both of the men to the white house for a beer. courtney keeley live from cambridge with more. i'm curious, first of all, seeing president obama smooth things over. is that the case and what are the people there saying about in? >> reporter: jamie, it does seem like he was pretty smooth with his remarks yesterday that whole let's have a beer and talk about this. and professor gates said he would happily have the beer. it was interesting there's an interview on local television here with sergeant crowley. i think that there's still come, you know hurt insults hurled that are hard to take back. sergeant crowley said it was really one-sided professor gate was insulting and he lost

his temper during the arrest he was arrested for disorderly conduct because he was screaming. >> is there any chance finding out what was said from the police transmission tapes? i heard greta saying these are tapes that a lot of people want to hear. >> reporter: absolutely, massachusetts public records law will make that public. however, it appears that an ongoing case lawyers are able to muscle them for a while. we are waiting to see when they will be released and we'll be able to hear what was happening during the arrest. professor gates have an entry to his online magazine called "the root" he said he was shocked when it happened. he definitely lost his temper. he's an esteemed scholar he holds 50 honorary degrees. i think most people know whether you are black or white, you can insult the police when they are investigating something, you will get arrested. >> there's a bit of a controversy did that as well, i don't know if he drinks beer but i heard he is accepting

the invitation, courtney keeley, thank you. >> unacceptable that's what president obama is saying about the gap between what small businesses and big companies pay for employee health insurance. the president says that will change. take a listen. >> today, after a lot of hard work in congress, we are closer than ever before, to finally passing reform that will reduce costs, expand coverage and provide more choices for our families and businesses. it has taken months to reach this point. once this legislation passes, we'll need to move thoughtfully and deliberately to implement these reforms over a period of severalj years. that's why i feel such a sense of urgency about moving this process forward. >> president obama citing a new white house study that says small businesses pay up to 18% more to provide health insurance for their employees. molly henneberg is following the health care debate. holly, how does president

obama say the democrats' plan will help small business with health insurance? >> reporter: hi kelly. he says the current system crushes small businesses with skyrocketing health care costs. he insists the reform plans in congress now will set up an insurance exchange where small businesses can shop around for a plan for their employees. the president says get a tax credit to help pay for it. if a small business decides not to offer health care employees can use that exchange to buy their own pland and low income workers will get government money to help them pay for it. >> what about the republicans, are they buying it? >> reporter: no, they are not. they say the study the president sites political spin coming out of the white house council of economic advisers. the gop says the democrats' one trillion dollar plan will increase taxes on the wealthy and small businesses and cost millions of jobs. republicans say they have a better plan. listen to this. >> the house of representatives we've outline add alternative that

reduces cost by rooting out waste, fraud and abuse and reining in junk lawsuits that cost millions each year. our plan lets small businesses purchase health insurance for employees at a lower cost. for those uninsured now it offers affordable choices. >> reporter: congresswoman rogers says current and future generations of americans will have to pay for the democrats' plan which the budget office says will add 239 billion dollars to the deficit over 10 years. >> molly, mish smallly, the president wanted to see something come into effect for summer investigation. where does this debate on health care legislation stand as we head into the last two weeks of the summer session? >> reporter: well it is going to be pushed into the fall. the house is supposed to go into recess next friday. democratic leaders there suggested unlikely they will have a vote before that not on the house floor. the senate leaves the following friday and the top democrat there says that

chamber expects to take up health care reform again in september. >> molly, thanks for bringing us up-to-date. certainly major priority for the president seems to be heading to the back burner until the fall. how much of a setback it is for the president? plan is headed for life support? joining me now a republican consultant and assistant director of the women and politics institute american university, welcome to both of you. tony, you first. delay now is that a delay forever? is health care reform going to come together in the fall or are we going to have a new mandatory deadline from the president it must happen then? >> i hope it is delayed and stalled until every member in congress gets to vote on this trillion dollar program gets to read the 1,000 plus pages of this bill which is safe to assume most have not done. as someone told me today, it seems with this congress and

this president, everything is here's 1,000 page bill we need it passed yesterday so let's sign now. i think the problem the president is running into is the american people are [ inaudible ] he has stated his objects to expand coverage. the [ inaudible ] the cbo+5h#appointed by democras in congress is saying is not going to happen. has the potential of overwhelming the budget in the next 10 years. then he's talking about this whole issue about it being deficit neutral. it deficit neutral is raise taxes. the american people don't think that's the way to approach this problem in the middle of a serious recession. >> i'm going to add an element to the list, the blue dog democrats who were anything but shy in their opinion about the reform that was being bantered about. is it not possible during the recess, if nothing happens beforeçó everybody leaves, that that blue dog group expands

and they come back even more forcefully, what happens then? >> frankly, i think the blue dogs are gonna, you know, they are gonna talk with their leadership, come together. they are in conversation, this is democracy in action, this is the blue dogs have their concerns they are on the same committee, that is really focusing on this right now, and energy and commerce, everything they are bringing up is reason able, working with chairman waxman. i don't think they are going to come back in worse shape than they are now. i think waxman has showed he is red -- >> explain to people at home who heard blue dog democrats, wait a minute democrats are against the health care reform? don't they have majority? should this had been a concern for the president that his own party turning against something they know hei wants? can you explain why they are so opposed?

>> sure the blue dog democrats are a group of approximately 50 democrats who are conservative fiscally. they hue a conservativively fiscal line there are differences among -- [ inaudible ] a lot of leaders of the democratic party are you know, at a certain place, you know, a certain liberal place and there are blue dog democrats when they look at this they are looking at it from a very financial -- >> this is an expensive plan, all the different versions of it. one element tony that you bring up is the fact that illegals. willmñ be entitled to health care there. are millions of them. we have open borders. so the question is, how do we factor in the huge number ofs of people not to mention all of those who lost their jobs and coverage, they have to wait until the fall to find out if they might get coverage.

can this come together and is there any chance it can be bipartisan? >> jamie, the more we learn, the more we realize how [ inaudible ] this proposal is. you've heard this number, 47 million americans not covered. well a third are in this country illegally. a few more million do qualify for existing government programs, medicaid or some children's government sponsored health insurance. already the numbers getting smaller that is not as compel ago argument. the real problem not just the blue dogs which we call them fiscal conservative democrats, i think they are earning their congressional salaries and julie is right, this is democracy in action. you have in new york state, hardly a state where you have the blue dog democrats, six members of the democratic caucus from new york against this. because it costs too much and it -- >> i only have a few seconds really, i need to let julia respond. can you wrap us up?

>> sure the thing to remember about the blue dogs again democracy in action. they are asking the right questions. the right thing will come out of this. 45 million reduced by third or a portion of a third is i lot of people in country who need to be ensured so we can stop them using emergency rooms as their primary care physicians. >> you can't socialize a fifth of our economy for that >> tony and julia, i have to end here. great points made today. i think a lot of americans are asking more and more questions about potential health reform. not that they don't want i, they don't understand it or what it is going to cost, thank you. >> thank you. from the cost of health care to the cost of alaska governor sarah palin's resignation it will come with a heavy price tag. tomorrow her last day in office, she says she is leaving her post to save the state the cost of investigating what she says are frivolous ethics complaints against here. -- against her.

even her resignation won't be cheap taxpayers paying for a one day special session to confirm the new governor. vetoing stimulus funds for energy products. palin hasn't responded but her spokeswoman says the legislature called themselves into special session, not palin. 13 astronauts in orbit right now, you see that picture it's live that is a pretty picture. they are enjoying a little r & r right now. mission control told them to take it easy today they have the best seat in the house but these are not band ones ear. they've been performing a series of grueling space walks long ones yesterday they completed critical battery changes at the inn space station. one more space walk planned monday. then the crew will begin the trip home. want to look at it for a long

time. >> that's live coming from space. meantime back on earth, folks are marking major milestone in nasa history. 40 years ago yesterday the apollo 11 astronauts splashed down into the pacific after their historic trip to the moon. the crew picked up by a helicopter from the uss hornet. today the uss hornet museum is the scene of a massive celebration going on that's where we find casey steigel live in alameda, california. tell me more about the uss hornet's role in the apollo 11 mission, please.fn >> reporter: it is spectacular this is the uss hornet back here behind me. 19 stories floating on water. when the apollo crew left the moon, it took three days for them to get back to earth. when they returned home, they splashed down into the middle of the pacific ocean in a space capsule that is where the uss hornet came in a giant helicopter launched off of that aircraft carrier

literally ed armstrong and the rest of his crew out of the water and brought them onboard that ship. president nixon even came to the ship to speak with the astronauts and meet with them. here's another interesting tidbit a lot of people don't know. those astronauts were put into a 21 day quarantine. space coloration was new at that time and they didn't know if those astronauts picked up any germs, viruses, bugs on the moon so they were in quarantine for 21 days. essentially an airstream trailer engineered by nasa was on the ship they were put into the quarantine at that time and then taken to johnson's space center in houston no doubt the uss hornet back here, docked in the san francisco bay behind me is literally a piece of floating history. walking through the halls and the stories to be told, just incredible. >> yes, indeed. what is going on there today? >> reporter: well, it is a big

40th celebration. thousands are expected to come out and tour the ship. buzz aldrin is going to be here meeting and greeting with people he's been making the rounds with his new book he will be here on hand for the 40th celebration. the museum is open year round. it is a big weekend because it is the 40th anniversary but it is open year round because the ship fought in world war ii, cold war and the vietnam war and right after it did this apollo mission it was decommissioned. so pretty incredible, lots of stuff going on. you can see it year round if you are not watching in san francisco and can't make it out this weekend. >> appreciate the report man you are right there walking through the footsteps of history, thank you good day . serious thunderstorms erupting all over the ohio valley today as a cold front moves across that area. look at this scene in by yesterday, get a load of -- in iowa yesterday, get a load of that hail, heavy rain making a

mess of the roads. dominica davis standing by and dry in the fox weather center. what a mess! >> certainly a lot of rain, no tornadoes good thing. this system has pushed east. for the ohio valley today you are going to be in the line of fire with that heavy rain and possibly lightning. mainly just thunderstorms rolling through your neck of the woods3t by late afternoon then it pushes out by sunday. it will affect the east coast come sunday. everybody is going to get a little turn at some rain moving through their backyard over the next 48 hours. we have not only a slight risk of weather through the ohio valley, again out to the west in the montana area we could have a few pop-up thunderstorms by late this afternoon and this evening. those are two potential areas where we could see some thunderstorm watch boxes pop up throughout the day. now temperatures are summer

like as they should be, because it is summer after all. 101 dallas, 90 new orleans, all that heat from the ohio valley down to the south, chicagoland getting a little warmer they've been seeing cooler than normal, 81 there. seattle 84. all this air is going tolp work to the north all this hot air we could see record-breaking highs for the pacific northwest by the beginning of this coming week. we will have to watch for that [ inaudible ] >> i don't know if it is dry heat, that's all the excuse, thanks. similar story that everyone is talking about controversy over the arrest of a renowned black scholar putting the spotlight on how police go about making a rests for disorderly conduct. did the officer who handcuffed professor gates overreact or was he doing the right thing? our legal panel weighs in.

. >> president obama calling the gap between what small businesses and big companies pay for employee health insurance unacceptable. the president citing new study that small businesses pay up to 18% more for health insurance he says that gap must change. >> hunt on for the suspects wanted for killing border patrol agent his name robert rosas shot and killed thursday many federal investigators right now are combing hospitals along the u.s./mexico border loo looking for at least two suspects who may have been injured in the gunfire that killed the agent. >> the astronauts are taking a breather for the first time in more a week all 13 members of the shuttle endeavour enjoying

their first day off. the much needed rest coming after a series of grueling space walks. there's a shot of one. the arrest of harvard scholar henry louis gates on the doorsteps of his home shining a light on police procedures across america. >> do the police have too much power when it comes to arresting someone for disorderly conduct? on the flip side, if you speak abusively to a police officer, should you go straight to jail? let's bring in our legal panel attorney and former prosecutor. executive director for the southeastern -- [ inaudible ] david, let me begin with you since you in l.a.. there's an article in the "l.a. times" that says this is shining a light on police procedures in someone's home as it pertains to disorderly

conduct. here's what we are being told by the president this is a teachable moment. so what are we learning from this incident? >> kelly, the statutes are fairly clear. contact has to be in public, offensive words in public, loud music in public, not in the privacy of your home. the professor got home from a 20 hour flight in china, couldn't get in his own home, he was obviously irritable he used offensive words in his own home that is isn't grounds to's. what happens when he was arrested? charged, charges were dismissed. that opens the door for a civil suit. courts are overcrowded these days. they are encouraging alternative distribute resolution. i think president obama's suggestion of a so-called beer sumi was a great idea, awesome teaching moment and could have widespread effect on these times of conflicts. >> if only your cases could be

settled that easily. shannon, i have to ask, because i'm not sure at this point, which would be the easier side to represent. those police tapes that will show us exactly watt exchange was, how key are they? are they admissible? what do you think we will hear? >> i appreciate david's perspective he's referring to disorderly conduct or a public incident. these officers were investigating an incident at the home. gates' house was burglarized previously so they were investigating. they are permitted to investigate and he can create the case in his home or out of the home if it is obstructing the officer they are allowed to take action. let's talk about the miss step miss stepped here? in my -- who misstepped here? in my opinion, two-fold one if the president of the united states not supportive of law enforcement officers doing their job and frankly, officer crowley's motives are not questioned. it is a misstep by professor gates.

but there is no misstep by law enforcement in this situation. yes, there should be a beer summit, if you will. but it is funny the first thing he says there should be a lawsuit. for what?ñr for catching professor gates -- showing his butt that's what he did -- >> wait a minutes, let's not go there, because i can talk about -- let's talk about the legality and not about the [ talking over each other ] you weren't there either, david how do we go further. >> it appears by all accounts that the officer cleared up the fact this was professor gates in his home so the burglary case is revolved. if professor gates was upset he's an esteemed guy, professor at harvard and being treated like a suspect his irritability and anger understand able the at that point the officer should have left professor gates to vent, blow off steam and left the house.

[ talking over each other ] >> excuse me for one second. at one point the professor did say he was considering action. what is the standard, the legalñi standard, for actually losing your cool too much at a police officer i'oqñ a situation in the heat of the moment what is the legal standard? >> you can lose your cool and you can argue and use even profanity, jamie. one exception is criminal threat, when you threaten immediate physical harm to the officer there. is no indication that took place that exception doesn't apply. the professor should have let go. cooler heads should have prevailed. the officer should have left the home and that would have been the end of. >> the charges were dropped. >> that's fine -- >> which cooler heads should apply? this officer used reasonable discretion in arresting and

controlling a situation that could have gotten out of hand. he used his discretion and authority appropriately whether they go forward with the charges or not probable cause was there and there was an appropriate arrest that's all there is to that >> fair and balanced as always, let's not throw any stones, let's move forward. >> they are going for a beer. >> have a drink, cool off, cool your heels. >> thanks guys. >> thank you. >> thank you. imagine a plan to bust a terrorist cell here in the united states. there are new reports today about what the bush administration considered to try to round up suspected terrorists in upstate new york. why that plan never happened. to stay on top of my game after 50, i switched to a complete multivitamin with more.

. we take a look at some of the other top stories. white house-bound, black scholar henry louis gates, jr. has accepted the president's offer to meet with the white

officer who arrested him at his massachusetts home as we've been discussing that arrest gained nationwide attention when president obama weighed in saying police in cambridge had acted stupidly. american airlines flight out of boston makes an emergency landing returning to the airport after smoke was detected.t"x in the cabin. everyone onboard is okay. a tornado touches down in port orange, florida damaging 160 homes no one seriously hurt. one eyewitness said the scene was like something out of the movie "twister." fox news learning the bush administration may have avoided a big constitutional test in the months after 9/11. the "new york times" reporting president bush considered and then killed the plan, that would have sent u.s. troops to the suburbs of buffalo to round up suspected terrorists. steve centanni is live with more on this story. great to see.

tell me about the white house, did it have the authority to use troops in order to make an arrest like that, that ultimately happened? >> reporter: that is the big question. they reportedly had the justice department memo saying they did have the authority. vice president cheney was said to be urging mr. bush to go ahead with the plan. but it would have been unprecedented and no doubt controversial the 4th amendment of the constitution prohibits unreasonable search and seizure and an 1878 law called posse comitatus prohibits the military from carrying out any law enforcement function on u.s. soil. so the white house must have wade all factors carefully]3shud the president decided against the idea. >> this was a fascinating arrest, especially for those of us who live in new york. you think about that area and you would never think of this time of activity going on were the terror suspects? what happened to them? if i recall, did they plead guilty? >> reporter: they did.tf they are called the lackawanna six, because they were living in a town by that time outside buffalo, new york.

they were yemeni-americans who the fbi had been monitoring on of having ties to al-qaeda. the fbi was given authority to arrest them. five were picked up in lackawanna in september of 2002, a sixth arrested in bahrain. they all pleaded guilty and serving time. >> new that the news is out this plan was considered, -- now that the news is out this plan was consideredding, according to "the new york times"s are they weighing in on possible use of troops? >> reporter: they don't think they there will be nut use and relieved there was no past use. one military expert said he would have advised against the president if he'ñs were asked o take such a move he said the military is forbidden from acting as a law enforcement agent while the fbi and local authorities are well trained and well equipped to carry out such a plan and they should

have been the ones to do it. and it would have been the first since the civil war, unprecedented. >> interesting new development, steve centanni, thanks. let's talk about your money, particularly your 401(k) getting a boast. dow going above 9,000 for the first time since january. is the economy really recovering or is this just another false start? joining us author of the power of pain, rich disalvo. >> you start by saying the 401(k) got answer a boost, people have taken money out of equities the last year putting it into money market funds because they don't want to lose any more. i'm going to call it a recent spike in the market. >> good way ofñi+ a lot of people were saying this is really good. is it what you call a jobless recovery? there are going to be people

still losing jobs. >> that's right what is interesting is, earnings are doing very well. earnings at an all-time high. companies have really been managing to the bottom line which is why you see a lot of layoffs. the markets have reacted ergo the spike, that's why you see employment where do you. >> after a spike, a lot of people are going to say things are happening it is going to be good, the economy is not as bad as it was. what should the average american be thinking in terms of their money and with the spike we are not witnessing? >> i would love nothing more for them to take their money spock stocks, bonds, in [ inaudible ] large cap, small cap, international even agriculture related, metals related so on. once you have to even when you get your statement every month, don't open it. don't look at it. >> pretty good advice. a lot of people lost their

jobs and they can no longer discuss this particular subject we are focusing on your investments, portfolio, 401(k). what do you think to them when they are collecting unemployment checks at this hour? >> i would tell them i -- we as americans have to feel their pain. also it is -- if we look at people and how they react to these situations it is one where they can feel sorry for themselves or go out, i've no doubt -- i have no doubt on their prior people they were talented. although their occupies may have to change it doesn't change the fact -- fact they are talented individuals. if you look hard enough, people want to help people and they will get the jobs they are looking for. >> i like the way you are thinking man, because a lot of people do want to help and open to receiving help and people want to give it. let's talk about this spike one more time. how many spikes should we see occur before we can take a breath of relieve?

>> i'll tell you what you are going to see right now. you will see the spikes continue for a while. then [ inaudible ] there's still a lot of cash on the sidelines so money going to be coming in. another thing people are selling short which means they wanted the market to drop. now they have to buy those secure keys, there's more -- securities so there's money going in market going up for those reasons not necessarily because the stock is better, people profit taking so the market is going back down. what you are going to have is up and down versus, a spike means you may not have a spike the next time. i would rather see people, buy it, don't think about it, if you try to time that market, we foe what happens, right? >> right. okay thank you so much good to see you. >> thank you. >> got a little bit of that cash on the side, you want to drive a safe car when you hear talk of safe cars often volvo seems to pop into the

conversation. swedish automaker comes up with a car they say is the safest volvo ever, you got to take a look. here's foxcarreport.com editor. >> the all-new volvo is a stylishue>ç powerful crossover that ends the marketplace full of stylish powerful cross overs 281 horsepower turbo charged engine all wheel drive and room for five it comes with nearly everything you would expect of a luxury import, costing $37,000. not much else. except for the fact it may also be the safest car in thepat world. the volvo has a safety gauge, side curtain air bags to protect in a crash, departure warning system adaptive cruise control with collision alert helps you an individual getting into one. if all else fails it can take matters into his -- its own

hands. you are sitting in stop and go traffic and your mind starts wandering. when you look up in the sky and take your eyes off the road the volvo uses liaisers to keep an eye on things for you. it will stop itself, that's what i've been told. under 18 miles an hour, it will stall out unnine it should come to a complete stop, hands off the wheel, feet often brake, wow, that was cool. it did stop. oh boy, that's [ inaudible ] what i managed to overlook was after the car avoids the collision it releases the brakes so you can continue safely. next the inspirational story of one man's fullyñi poverty to prosperity and the key piece of advice from his mother that

contributions. in fact, the report is now calling for criminal investigations by the justice department. if it is proven, how should acorn be held responsible? could this be messy battle in kong? let's ask a republican from utah, also a member of the house oversight and government reform committee that issued the report. this is just a portion it is extensive congressman, i took a look 88 pages total, detailing a number of allegations. tell me why you did the investigation and the report? aren't there already some criminal investigations pending against acorn? >> well, an next tkoelt al reports we've heard -- anecdotal reports we've heard about voter fraud across the country as you put together this web you find there are 365 organizations out there, that all fall under the umbrella of acorn supposedly tax exempt non-profit organizations. then you dive deeper and find

there have been 70 convictions in 12 different states. and you find there's a pattern of abuse and fraud. the justice department should dive into very deeply. >> here the allegations that really caught my eye, maybe only because i'm an attorney, maybe because i'm a concerned citizen, maybe because my tax dollars may have gone to pay for it. contributions to the former governor blagojevich. contributions to a presidential candidate, president obama. also, you say that acorn is hiding behind their not for profit status, they are using corporate protections to conceal a criminal conspiracy. wouldn't any taxpayer be concerned about that? >> acorn to date has taken over 50 million dollars in taxpayer money and they qualify for over eight billion dollars under the stimulus plan. if you look at 70 convictions in 12 states, 365 organizations out there, there -- 361 organizations out there,

there is a pattern of abuse and fraud now they look to be participating in the census after a clear pattern of deception fraud that's concerning. you even had a judge in pennsylvania who is convicting a low level person involved with acorn who said, out loud in the courtroom, somebody has to go out and investigate acorn as a bigger, broader organization. >> let me mention this number again, because it is huge, not to mention the stimulus funds you talked about there was a lot of debate about whether or not acorn should be on the list of people receiving money. 53 million in federal funds over the last 15 years. where is the internal revenue service? aren't they supposed to look at expenses of corporations not for profit like acorn and make sure they've earned their not for profit status? >> that's why we've put together in report, 88 pages oversight government reform committee in which i par 'tis pavement we are calling upon -- i participate.

we are calling upon justice to dive into the investigation. i'm asking the census bureau who has partnered with acorn discredit this is organization and say there is no way they should participate in the census. if they have submitted, literally 1.3 million voter registration forms in 2008 and 1/3 deemed invalid i think that would disqualify them from participating in the us is. >> they are going to be if things go as planned very involved in the census and could benefit, with profits as well in terms of jobs and is up of people they recruitment now this report, sitcom hence sieve, you are here talking about it. -- you have asked for an investigation you want there to be one. any chance you are wrong and that this didn't happen, any of the things that are outlined? >> i would encourage people to look at report for themselves. i was hoping congress was going to dive into that the chairman of the house judiciary committee chairman

conyers -- >> are they? >> he announced they were going to do it then came back and said the powers that be decided they weren't going to do that >> who is that? >> i don't know. you had michelle book man insert an amendment into a bill saying if they wouldn't be able to get certain funding. then barney frank said we made a mistake now we have to take it out. congress not looking at it on the republican side of the aisle the government oversight and reform will continue to dive into this and we'll continue to call upon justice and the census department to do the right thing. >> congressman i have to go, thanks for talking to us about it today. worth telling people -- we are telling people too to take a look and we'll check back with you to see if anything is done in terms of an investigation, thanks so much. this next story, a lot of people save their wedding cake to eat on their one year anniversary. but this cake is 40-years-old. we'll explain why one man
