how in the world did they misestimate that. mr. kilmeade. you have met the compliment guys? >> i like that purple shirt. i'm coming in for this one. yeah, they are here live all morning on the world tour to turn your frown upside down. they are outside. our slogan comes to us from jim in in georgia. hard to get up this morning. summit with all that beer. [captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- brian: it's my fault. usually the slogans i have been a little spoiled. had nothing do with our show. alisyn: thisone was about the news. the much anticipated beer summit has happened. we would love to be able to tell

you what was said at it the reporters were kept 50 yards away for this round table discussion here. we don't really know. all we can do this morning is study the body language and try to parse the statements that came out afterwards from sergeant crowley and from a representative of professor gates. brian: steve, what are you noticing about that serving? steve: first of all it's not at a picnic table it is at a round table. white house butlers came out with just one beer on a silver platter. brian said about three minutes ago, you know, why did they have to do one beer at a time? couldn't they have got a door to come out with four beers? the guy with the shuster on the back of his head? that's joe biden who, inexplicably just showed up. brian: they're serving beer. i feel kind of bad because we bought a picnic table thinking we were going to as a precursor. steve: we were told they were using the picnic table that came

with the swingset instead they used that beautiful table right there. alisyn: sergeant crowley came out and met with reporters and shed a little bit of light of what they talked about, including whether anybody apologized to anybody. >> did anyone apologize? >> no. i think what you had today is two gentlemen agree to disagree on a particular issue. i don't think that we spent too much time twelg on the past. we spent a lot of time discussing the future. >> let me ask you something. what kind of future do they have together? they don't know each other. >> they do have a future together. they have agreed to have another beer in the future. >> steve: not a beer they said a kool-aid. too much kool-aid has been crunch at the white house in the past. also, brian, going to remain in contact on the phone. brian: and say what? you are wrong, no you are wrong. they agree to disagree. what was the point of the summit? let's find out what you learned from each other. i want this teachable moment.

i want to grow intellectually. how can that happen if both sides are dug in and one other side doesn't get to the microphone and that's professor gates. steve: it's simple. it was a photo on. the president of the united states a week ago in that prime time press conference stupidly said that the police had acted stupidly. at least that is the assessment of a number of political analysts that that the president never should have reared to the analysts as acting stupidly. he had to do something. a week ago today, he called sergeant crowley on the phone. the sergeant was at a pub having lunch and a beer. sergeant crowley nervously said maybe some day we could get together over beemplet of the white house sprung into action. that's how this came about, brian. alisyn: we don't know did it was just a photo on. maybe they were able to speak freely. they spoke for a while there was no microphone. and maybe, just maybe, professor gets and sergeant crowley were able to tell each other how they

felt that day and walk in each other's shoes for main. brian: it's incumbent to use this opportunity to foster greater sympathy among public affairs of policing and racial profiling. steve: i think they probably did sit across from each other and say here is why i arrested you because you would not give me the i.d. you were belligerent and tumultuous and, you know, and you said those things. at the same time, professor crowley could say, look, i have studied -- rather, professor gates said, you know, i have studied this kind of thick, i felt like i was being a victim of it and so that's how it. alisyn: great that would enhance understanding. i wish we could have heard those words. brian: they made no progress. why should they even talk again. they have promised to disagree. why -- going to make different speeches. show up together and make

speeches and say how right each other are. if you are going to get together and we are supposed to learn from it. maybe both sides supposed to say this is what i learned about it president obama looked the most relaxed out of everybody. steve: had this been the teachable moment, you would think we would have heard from the president afterwards. we didn't. we should point out the press was rushed over. they were 50 feet away. they were able to spray as they call it take a picture from that distance as ali said, absolutely no microphones. it's interesting while sergeant crowflly did make a statement to the press, it was only an attorney of professor gates who said anything. so, crowley minimumself was in commands. he was asked about the beer that obama provided and perhaps that was a little bit of some alcoholic lubrication. talking, listen. >> he provided the beer.

>> that's pretty much it? >> he contributed in a small part but he really wanted to bring two people together to try to solve not only a local issue in cambridge but also what has become a national issue. he is just a regular person sitting around the table, having a discussion about an issue and he just was very cordial. i respect the man a great deal. alisyn: very gracious. brian: 41% of the people disagree with this situation let's see if we move on. let's move on. talk about a program under the administration that seems to have gotten off to a flying start. cash for clunkers. two objectives. low gas mileage get the cars that are gas guzzlers off the road and goose the auto industry that needs some reason to make big sales. give people a fj incentive to get rid of gas guzzlers big expeditions for lack of a better term for cars that are better on gas economically between 5 and

10 miles per hour. alisyn: it sounds good. unfortunately it has worked too well. they only allocated $1 billion in funds for -- a lot of money. must have sounded like a lot around a booed room. they didn't realize how popular it was going to be. they have already dolled out 96 million. and they think around that amount has been promised to people. they are basically out of money already. steve: after four days. we should point out that while they did just set aside $1 billion, congresswoman from ohio by the name of betty sutton has said you are going to need more than a billion. we need 4 billion to do this. extraordinarily, it was supposed to run until october. the government in all of their wisdom said ok, we have got enough money here we can rub this -- run this thing through october. it ran out in less than a week.

government is saying we have got enough money through october buy all these cars that get up 4 miles per hour better gas mileage. if the government is making those predictions and off so far you have got to trust them on health care. they did so well with the cars. wait until they start working on your spleen. brian: 3500 you get if you decide to get a car in that gets at least 4 miles per hour better than the one you are trading in. steve: is it worth that much money? brian: $4,500 for over 10 miles per hour miles member gallon. get us off venezuela oil they underfunded the program. they are great at printing money. we know that for sure. print some money and get this going because dealers are elated by. this they sold a lot of cars. steve: look at the newspaper ads that you will see across prerk. cash for clunkers at major world chevy. can you see all the deals they

have got. cash for clunkers has passed at major world. here is major world of eye kia, same thing. a lot of people are going to go into the car dealership, they have a pending deal and wonder what's going to happen in the white house and also the department of transportation, they are trying to figure out how to extend the program. so right now they have put the brakes on it but, stand by, they could actually -- they could just be idolizing right now it could take off again. alisyn: nicely done. brian: good news for people that sell cars. it's a welcome. alisyn: that's what we needed. left's hope that they extend it. in the meantime, here are the rest of your headlines. a house committee has rejected an attempt to limit abortion coverage in the health care reform package. at first the committee included an amendment to ban abortion coverage except in a limited number of circumstances, but in a second voted, that amendment was rejected by one vote. the committee may finish work on the full health care bill today.

alisyn: fictitious sitcom based on real life. brian: that's going to be tremendous. i heard they already taped a few scenes. steve: fantastic. brian: wish them all the you can in the world. it will be a big break for all of them. steve: email us regarding the beer summit last night. was it simply a photo on or opportunity for real dialogue. email us right there at that number below ali who is in for gretchen@foxnews.com. brian: if nobody was apologizing, what was the point? steve: free point. brian: they agree they don't disagree. called the greatest public speaker since ronald reagan. next guest agrees that president obama can inspire will you also says his or are a ora isn't helping him get things done. alisyn: the guy you are about to meet is serving up tough love for the aarp. he has ripped up his manipulate

hill? will it hold back his health care reform plan? alisyn: we are joined by michael ba barone from the national examiner. alisyn: president obama was state senator. why don't you think he has much experience in legislation. >> he spent all his time as leaj later running for other office. he spent a year running for congress unsuccessfully. spent two years running for the u.s. senate successfully. and two years as a u.s. senator running for president, again successfully. so he has only had -- he had seven non-campaign legislative years. he was in the minority party throughout all that time. we know for some of the campaign research he voted present on an awful lot of bills. he was somebody who was putting together major legislation that affected people in a deep important way.

steve: michael in the campaign a lot of people have pointed out he has no management experience. he has never run anything. he has, as you point out, run for office for a number of years. but do you feel that his lack of experience, when it comes to legislation, is starting to show? >> with, i think it has been showing. we have been asked to pass this very, you know intrusive, you know, huge effects on cap and trade and health care. the president has deferred to congress. he basically said on stimulus and cap and trade when it gets to health care you guys do what you want. he hasn't set down markers. he heafnts indicated the stimulus bill that we want to have things done immediately and not three or four years from now. he didn't indicate on cap and trade that he wanted to retain the revenues from the auctions that he had budgeted for health care. he didn't indicate on health care what he wanted. as a result. he is losing the argument with

the public as is apparent from the fox news poll and other polls that are out there. alisyn: michael, it's curious. some people think that it's strange that the president who cares so much about health care reform has basically outsourced it to congress to handle. what you are saying, because he doesn't like legislation or he just doesn't have the know how? >> well, he has -- he has outsourced all these major bills, the stimulus cap and trade and health care to the congress. it's set on his behalf that he doesn't want to repeat the alleged mistake of the clinton administration of fashioning a health care bill in the white house. but it seems like he has gone too far in the other direction. he has got legislation throughout that's got severe opposition. he has a wonderful or are a but is he losing the argument. steve: there you go. michael barone joining us from washington, d.c. michael that is one sharp necktie. you look good. >> oh, thank you. alisyn: thanks, michael.

steve: one sharp guy, too. alisyn: indeed. the obama administration created a tarp czar, a pay czar and stimulus czar and 29 other czars. why is there still no new regulation on the banks? judge andrew napolitano here next to weigh in on this. vo: so my husband and i don't usually buy the latest electronics. but thanks to walmart... and their low prices... we were able to buy this amazing new blu-ray player. anncr: get all the top-name blu-ray players from sony, samsung and panasonic. save money. live better. walmart.

brian: senate panel apparently not a czar is now leading the investigation into goldman sachs and other financial firms for mortgage fraud. they are trying to learn what led to our mortgage mess. alisyn: with all these financial zars that have unregulated power there is still no regulation. should we expect any fundamental changes? for more of the same let's bring in fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. good morning, judge.

>> good morning, how are you. alisyn: what is the point of these czars? >> from the president's point of view the czars are almost too good to be true. they do not undergo fbi scrutiny. they do not have to undergo senate confirmation. under a supreme court ruling they can't be subpoenaed to testify before the congress. and they don't have to announce an n. advance publicly what they are doing. the czar is pick up the phone and say i'm so and so, i'm in charge of automobiles. here is what the president wants you to do. i'm speaking as if i were the president. and most people receiving a conversation like that are likely to comply with it. now, if the secretary of the treasury did that or if the secretary of transportation did that, we would have to know 30 days in advance what he or she is going to do. the congress would have the opportunity to intervene and the public would have the opportunity to comment. not so with the czars. brian: tell me about goldman sachs and what kind of trouble they are in. i think goldman sachs is in a lot of trouble. i think the 5 billion that

goldman sachs made in the second quarter of this year, while still owing the feds 45 billion, is something that they are going to have to do a lot of explaining for. even more so, we now know that when a.i.g. was saved by hank paulson, the former chair of goldman sachs and by people in the bush treasury department, many of whom have worked for goldman sacks, a.i.g. old goldman sachs. the first 8 a billion went to pay goldman sachs will bill. at the same time goldman sachs great rival lima lehman brothers on the brink. so the federal government, the taxpayers end up paying goldman sachs' bill and letting goldman sachs' chief rival for 100 years go out of business. alisyn: who will look into this? >> unfortunately the people who caused the problem will look into. einstein once said noe never

expect people who caused the problem to solve it for you. same mentality in the government fannie mae and freddie may give out all those matter gages you want. don't worry about it, the tax mayor's will back it up. the same mentality give all that money to a.i.g. they will pay the bills of our friends. that mentality is going to be investigating what happened. i predict no change at all. brian: politics play a role. bottom of the hour record bonuses given to nine banks receiving tarp funds. for now i have to ask you this. big picture people happy, goldman sachs had unbelievable year. >> goldman sachs had an unbelievable year with our tax dollars g you or i or anybody we worked for was given $45 billion we could probably produce a 5 billion-dollar profit as well. alisyn: and have unbelievable year. steve: they haven't given it back yet. they will argue the feds won't take it back and the feds will say we don't want this back yet. we want them to have it they still have that 45 billion.

they have the 45 billion the feds loaned them and 13 billion the feds gave to a.i.g. so a.i.g. could pay its bills. all of this with tax dollars. brian: i will tell you in the break again, the judge is not pro tarp. brian: brian and the judge a little bit later. judge: what a pleasant surprise to see you. italian jersey beauty. brian: how in the world does bank bonuses far exceed profits? we are talking about banks that got tarp money. it's your money and they are making it. alisyn: it's a scene right out of anchor man when he makes everyone sick with his perfume. it happened in real life and landed 34 people in the emergency room. brian: happy birthday to superman dean contain. -- cain. the ache for and fox viewer is 43 today.

>> they had the big beer summit earlier tonight at the white house. president obama had a beer with harvard professor henry lewis gates and the policeman who arrested him. yeah. the, you know, the meeting got off to a rough start when a neighbor called the police to say gates was break into the white house. there is a man going in there. alisyn: is that edith bunker calling? brian: conan losing big time to letterman. younger people but not enough people. steve: that will teach him. let's talk a little bit. brian: that will teach him? steve: that will teach him. brian: no, no, conan is losing. steve: that will teach them for squeezing jay leno out. nbc said years from now jay leno is going to get out and we are going to bring in conan. years later he is out and other guy is in. brian: we're going to get rid of o'reilly next. steve: i don't think so. you tell the king of cable.

attorney general andrew cuomo maybe looking what's going on financially with big banks. he has discovered and these are startling numbers that of the nine big banks that got tarp money, effectively to keep them in business. they got on average $175 billion to keep -- of the $175 billion to keep america's financial green flowing, 33 billion of that money, a huge portion of it, went for bonuses. to keep the big guys happy. alisyn: that is shocking. alisyn: tarp funds were not supposed to pay out exorbitant bonuses. they were supposed to keep them from collapsing. goldman sachs in 2008 earned $2.3 billion. sounds good. until you remember that they paid out twice that 4.8 billion in bonuses. they are paying twice what they earned. and this is, of course, after

they took 10 billion in tarp funds. how does this math add up? steve: it doesn't. brian: morgan stanley also took tarp money. into the all took tarp money. 1.7 billion. they paid out $4.475 billion in bonuses. j.p. morgan choice $5.6 billion. received 25 billion in tarp funds. paid out to executives employees to $9 billion. alisyn: the question what is kenneth fineberg doing? do you recognize that name? that is the pay executive pay czar. he was to reign in big bonuses in executive pay. what is he doing about this? because the banks, as you can imagine, have lots of excuses about why they have to keep doing. this part of it is they have to keep their top talent. there are some people out of

work right now in this field. i think they can get other talent if they don't pay them billions of dollars in bonuses. steve: talking b. this week how a man who contract turleyly contractually is going to get his 100 billion-dollar bonus. the price of doing business on wall street down on wall street heads i win, tails i win. there seems to be no -- the managers share in the upside but as we see from this, they don't share in the downside. so even in a terribly bad financial year. they are still big winners. >> performance based and that's got to be part of the reform. 24 minutes before the top of the hour. the president of the united states meeting with a lot of ceos, sometimes he has staffers, outside the office sometimes with the white house. june 25th. something unique happened. if might have happened since. before lunch was served a white house staff walked around and got all the ceos credit cards

you are invited to lunch but you will pay. they want to make sure there is no conflict of interest. these guys paid for their lunch. alisyn: ceos from zox, coca cola, at&t and honey well had to cough up credit cards and pay nobody knows what's on the menu but they had to pay for their lunch. experts had been in the white house previously patricia bald rich says this is unprecedented and unclassy and it is really unheard of in the white house to make people pay for lunch. though you could argue that in these economic times it's exactly the right thing to do. steve: sure. in fact, a long time observer in the white house could not place george w. bush in the white house having a meeting with a ceo. and, yet, there is barack obama meeting with these four asking for their charge plate before it all happened. what kind of a tip do you leave

when you have president with the united states? brian: i don't think any. here is a statement from the white house. brian: replaces the fear barack obama anti-business. come down and pay for your own lunch it's a little insulting. steve: i kind of like it. alisyn: me too. steve: i kind of like it. brian: someone's backyard ok 20 bucks a burger. steve: it's not like it's a social call. they are obviously there to talk about business. i get why the white house would do that. we want to appear like we are not chummy. we are not cozy with business. we embrace them but at the same time they are going to have the fillet minion. brian: then do a conference call.

what else is happening? steve: glad you asked, brian. taking a look at the news right now. top military advisor says it's time for the townhouse declare victory in iraq and go home. in a memo colonel timothy reese says extending the u.s. troop presence beyond next summer would do little to improve security. reese says the iraqi military is so riddleed with corruption and poor management the united states has done all it can do. tensions between iraqis and u.s. officers growing. alisyn: you will recall billions in stimulus money was supposed to be used to fix the state's bridges. the state has other plans for that money. according to the associated press. they are not repairing. they are repaving roads and fixing bridges that are still in good shape. that makes a lot of sense. states say they are doing that because the projects are easier and they help put people back to work faster. brian: sound like consequences if a bridge falls apart. more evidence texting and

driving do not mix. take a look at this video a tow truck driver texting with one hand, talking on his cell phone with the other rear ends another car and winds up in someone's backyard's swimming pool. the car slams right into the house. >> you have some admissions and some preliminary information that the driver of the tow truck was talking on his cell phone and potentially texting as well, using two cell phones at the same time. brian: female driver of the car suffered head injuries. she is in good condition. her 8-year-old niece who was in the car suffered minor injuries. the driver of the tow truck charged with reckless driving. steve: federal government talking about making till legal to text and drive. >> heavy rains pounded memphis. the winds literal live ripped power lines from the polls. look at that huge explosions lit up the skies. emergency crews rushed in. look at the aftermath. look at that sparkler right there. they have been trying to restore the fewer thousands of people.

thankfully nobody was seriously hurt but the grid in memphis this morning is all messed up. >> remember this scene out of the movie anchorman? >> formidable stench and stings the nostrils in a good way. >> i will be honest with you that smells like pure gasoline. >> they have done studies, 60% of the time it works every time. >> that doesn't make sense. alisyn: this happened in real life near fort worth texas perfume is being blamed for sending 34 people to the hospital. and another 110 people were treated at the scene. this all started with two people complaining about dizziness after a coworker sprayed perfume investigators don't know what type of perfume was sprayed but they are confident it was not sex panther that was used in anchorman. steve: stay classy brian kilmeade. brian: i'm going to try by turning it over to will whitson.

he is from fehrman university. get over here. you will be exiting soon, correct? >> yes, sir. brian: where are you headed to back home to nashville tennessee. two weeks before school starts and i'm going to be celebrating my 22nd birthday and my grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary. brian: sounds good. lengthier than i thought it would be. you are going to fuhrman. push you on to the mark and start you up. go ahead. steroids first. >> baseball hit with more shocking steroids news. the "new york times" reports red sox star david ortiz and his former teammate manny ramirez were on the list of 104 players who tested positive in 2003. or tease is one of the game's most popular stars. he said he had no idea. big papi's numbers exploded from 2002-200848 home run and 2003 to 200678 home runners.

now you can have terrell owens for breakfast. it's called t.o.'s honey toasted oats and owens says it's better than a box of wheaties. brian: got to seat it with your shirt off. >> knows a thing or two about eating healthy as does alisyn camerota who serves as a personal trainer. >> start with the reverse but ok ok. will are you done? >> yes. brian: that bow tie is a lesson for interns everywhere. we knew you right await a minute unique good attitude and drug-free but the bow tie stood out. >> i have always loved the bow tie and my friends say you have got to take it with you when you go to new york. brian: peter richie. steve: george will. alisyn: tucker carlson. steve: will, did you a great job. alisyn: you have been such a delight to have around.

alisyn: welcome back. aarp members angry over the endorsement of the president's health care bill. they are contacting "fox & friends." we are getting more and more emails from members.

including this one from lee downs in texas: alisyn: the author of that email lee joins me life from austin. good morning, lee. >> good morning, alisyn. alisyn: have you been an aarp meeting for 15 years. why are you canceling your membership now. >> i started to become disgruntled with them and named danny glover astin of the year, man of the year after he hugged castro and said that george bush was a nonentity and that -- alisyn: that was the first thing that upset you because you felt that aarp was becoming too liberal. now, what is it specifically about the president's health care plan that you think will leave seniors like yourself out in the cold? >> well, it doesn't seem to me

like seniors are their priority anymore. especially senior veterans and veterans with disabilities. because it seems like i keep hearing the sayings that they are going to charge us for our health care and charge us for our medicare. and most veterans that are retired like myself can't afford to pay any other benefits out. alisyn: well, the president says that those things are not true, that you are worried about. in fact, he went to the aarp headquarters just this week and tried to console some people like yourself who are worried. let's take a listen to what the president said. >> we don't want a canadian style plan. nobody is talking about that we don't want to ration by dictating to somebody ok, you know what? we don't think that that senior should get a hip replacement. what we do want to be able to do is to provide information to that senior and to her doctor about, you know, this is the

thing that is going to be most helpful to you in dealing with your condition. alisyn: lee, are you reassured at all by the president's words. >> no, ma'am, i don't like obama speak. that's what i call it i recently have gone through through knee replacement and a heart surgery and i don't want to have to stand in line and wait for it i want to be able to go to the doctor. v.a. is one of the best health plans in the world. i'm a veterans service officer. i work with veterans every day. veterans are very scared of obama and his health plan. alisyn: lee, let me give you some numbers here maybe this will reassure you. the aarp spent $5.3 million in the last couple of months lobbying members of congress to make sure that their voice was heard. seniors, that is. >> in the crafting of these bills. why would the aarp throw their own constituency 40 million

seniors under the bus? >> i have no idea. but that's one of the reasons why i canceled my manipulate and i'm canceling my life with them. alisyn: also we know you are on your way to austin to that vfw seminar. you are going to bring a message to fellow veterans that they too should cancel their membership. let us know what happens when you go there, lee. great to see you this morning. >> thank you, very much. can i give you a plulg about my book? >> what is it? >> i wrote a book called the funny side of death. i sent y'all a copy. and it's available on amazon.com. alisyn: all right. i will check tout. thanks, lee. >> thank you. alisyn: coming up, the president, the professor and the policeman. did anything really get accomplished at the beer summit besides a photo on? email us. we want to know what you think. then the cash for clunkers program is already out of cash. steve: what? alisyn: it's a clunker. delearships like this one will not be handing out money after all. how is this possible? it's only been up and running

for four days. there is a moose on the loose. this 750-pound beast is running right at a group of people. it's all caught on camera. next hour. so, what's the problem?

these are hot. we're shipping 'em everywhere. but we can't predict our shipping costs. dallas. detroit. different rates. well with us, it's the same flat rate. same flat rate. boston. boise? same flat rate. alabama. alaska? with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service. if it fits, it ships

anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. dude's good. dude's real good. dudes. priority mail flat rate boxes only from the postal service. a simpler way to ship. announcer: kids who don't eat breakfast aren't getting the nutrition they need - to keep their bodies strong. - ( school bell rings ) - hey, jessica. - hey, billy. announcer: a nutritious start to the day is essential. that's why carnation instant breakfast essentials supplies all the nutrients of a complete breakfast. so kids get the protein and calcium they need to help build strong muscles and healthy bones. carnation instant breakfast essentials. good nutrition from the start.

alisyn: good morning, everybody. friday, july 3 st. the cash for clunkers program is stalled after just four days. it's out of cash. how in the world did this happen? we will tell new two minutes. steve: talk about a stimulus program. your taxpayer money, $80 million of it going to fund the arts but not any arts. the pornographic arts. why are movies like you know what? i don't think i'm even going to say the name of that movie. anyway, they are inappropriate for breakfast time. why are they getting our hard earned cash? brian: the beginning of the title was a weather family that?

steve: the back side was the back side. brian: high school cheerleader booted from the squad for something she wrote in a personal email. we will tell you what she said and let you decide. did the school go too to afar our slogan comes to us from erica. hangover? just call the gang over, "fox & friends" like aspirin, they put your brain on the mend. [captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- alisyn: i like it when we are compared to a pain reliever. that's great. steve: take a look. if you go to your morning paper today, if you still read the paper. most people get their news from us. you can see that cash for clunkers has passed. look at all the deals you can get. cash for clunkers has passed. program, cash for clunkers. cash for clunkers. got some bad news for you is out of this part, the cash. after five days. it was supposed to go july

through october. the government kind of miss underestimated the amount of interest in it. alisyn: allocated $1 billion. you think that sounds like a lot. steve: that's a lot of clunkers. alisyn: they have spent 96 million in four days. i think they have promised that same amount to more people who are waiting in line. brian: july 1st, you can get on line and sign up. people have all signed up. and now actually enacted. essentially what this program was designed to do is get gas guzzling vehicle off the road and get a better one. cash incentives to do it. for example if the new car you are going to buy gets under 10 miles per hour but over 5 miles per hour per gallon get $3,500 towards a new vehicle. seems like a good idea. if the car you have right now and the car -- new car you have if the difference is over 10 miles per hour. you can get $4,500. everyone loves. this the dealers love it. it just has to be funded by us, the taxpayer and we're out of taxpayer dollars. >> when it comes to the hard

numbers that we know so far, we know the 22,000 vehicles have already been sold. totaling will 96 million. but because the response was overwhelmingly positive, in fact, explosive is how one dealer described it, apparently the balance of the $1 billion has already been spent. congressman woman from ohio by the name of betty sutton told them i told them it should have been $4 billion. here is the thing. we understand the white house and the administration trying to get more money. so the brakes have been put on it right now. but, still, where will they be able to find another couple billion dollars to sell some more new cars for clunkers? alisyn: i'm not even shoe that would cover it in just four days gone through $1 billion. the math doesn't add up. spent 96 million. where are the other hundreds of millions. if they only spent 96 million? brian: they are worried on this pace they will not have the money. it's a program that people understand and works. steve: according to the web site right now. details catch for clunkers there

is $779 million left. no, there is not. apparently it's been called for. steve: there is a guy named steve who just emailed me. he traded in his clunker on tuesday. told he qualified for a $4,500 rebate he emailed us after the paperwork was completed. i chose new car bought from another dealership. on thursday i received a call from the dealer saying my car had arrived i set up an appointment to close the deal for today at 10:00 a.m. last night at 9:00 p.m. i got a call from the salesman that the deal couldn't go through because the government was ending the program and it looks like the government under estimated the effects of the stimulus program. can they be right about the cost of the health insurance program if they misunderestimated something as easy as a car buyout. brian: transportation department has been calling the house and senate a. and saying we are going to need more money. not gotten a response and now everything is on a hold pattern. meanwhile -- the president of

the united states gave an interview to "time" magazine. and he says health care is the hardest thing he has had to could doo in his public life. and so far, the more he talks he is realizing the more confused people are getting about what is really at stake. alisyn: it's an incredibly complicated sticky wicket as the president has realized. today by the way was the magic day. the date that the house was supposed to have had all this wrapped up because they leave for recess today. for the august recess. and i think it's fair to say that it has not all been wrapped up. steve: in fact, there is almost a revolt on the -- with the liberal wing of the democratic party. 53 members members of the professional black caucus. hispanic caucus have written a letter to nancy pelosi saying we do not like this deal that they have done with the moderate blue dog democrats. we can't go along with it so, and then on the senate side, you

have got harry reid who, keep in mind, has got a super majority. he can pass it. and, yet, he is kind of back pedalling, and he says well, we have got somebody to blame, the media. let's blame the press and, of course, the republicans. >> i think that you folks have created the deadlines. we haven't. the president three weeks ago in his weekly address said we would have health care reform by the end of the year. that's our goal. and that is what we are going to do. now, i still have i'm still optimistic we will get something out of this work committee before the period ends. that is a deadline you created. we haven't created it. steve: you in the media you media people. alisyn: we didn't come up with the deadline. steve: he came wouldn't deadline. alisyn: we repeated the deadline. that hasn't happened. now that they have gotten the

blue dogs in line. brian: half the blue dog caucus is not signing on to. this they are not even in line. go ahead. alisyn: the more liberal congressman members don't want to do it. here is the sticking point they say. the blunt that they came up with in one of the committees they said would reduce federal subsidies that would have helped lower income families afford coverage. isn't this the whole point? if you are going to reduce the federal subsidies for people uninsured or underinsured then what's the point of health cared reform if that's what they are doing away with. this is the whole point. no wonder the 53 liberal democrats don't want to sign on to this? why spend all this money if you are not going to insure the uninsured. brian: called their attacks on the public option flat out immoral. steve: do you think this was a slap at -- from the president at a big u.s. senator on the democratic side? the president yesterday said

that if senators want to take the bill home to read it in august, they have plenty of time. remember john conyers famously now a couple of days ago, you know, thousand page bills, we can't read them you need a couple of lawyers and couple of days now the president is saying you have time. maybe you should read it. alisyn: you have a month off. listen to this incredible story caught on camera. police officers were plotting to place the blame elsewhere. ok in but they were caught red handed on their own dash cam faking an accident report to get one of their own officers off the hook. joining us to explain all of this from hollywood, florida with the latest installment of his nowhere to hide series is our own brian wilson. hey, brian, tell us about this. >> well, alisyn, we are here in hollywood, florida, a suburb of miami. and the folks here have looked at what's going on. and many people around here are saying anything but hooray for the hollywood pd. the thing about video cameras,

they never blink and sometimes you forget they are there. that was apparently the case last february when officer dewey presley of the hollywood, florida police department decided that he would make up some stuff on an accidents report to help out a fellow officer. listen carefully. >> well, i mean, i don't want -- i don't like and make things up ever. that's wrong. if i need so say something a little bit to protect the cop. >> i hear you, man. >> when i saw the tape, my jaw dropped to my chest. >> that's broward cavuto -- county howard fink kel stein. >> these cops conspired to manipulate the truth and evidence and they did it when nothing was at stake. >> two cars pull away from a green light late at night. the first car stops rather abruptly. the second car a police car plows in the back of number one. the lady in the first car has been drinking and has legal problems she is going to have to deal with the cop was technically at fault for the accident because he didn't stop

in time. so when his friend shows this up try to figure out of a way to help their buddy out. >> protect a cop it wouldn't have mattered because she is drunk anyway. >> it did matter to the attorney hired. it took forever to get his hands on the police video. he also says the dvd sent to the state attorney's office had been edited to remove presley's comments. answered confirms that police officers later repeated the story in sworn depositions during discovery. the officers involved could well do jail time if convicted of lying under oath. we wanted to ask the hollywood police department about all of this, but they were less than accommodating. >> but you are telling me nobody can talk to me. >> yes, sir. >> that goes right from the chief's office? >> yes, sir. >> all right. thank you. here in hollywood, florida today, several men who were involved in that traffic incident will return to the hollywood ph.d. we are told they are on desk duty while the internal investigation continues.

guys? steve: all right. brian wilson. hooray for brian. thank you, sir. alisyn: let me tell you what is happening at this hour. it looks like the space shuttle endeavour will land at 10:48 eastern time this morning at the kennedy spirnt in space center in florida. one final experiment will be completed after the shuttle lands. steve's favorite story a japanese astronaut who you see at the bottom right-hand picture will have his high tech underwear examined after wearing them for a month straight. they are designed to be odor free. moving on. police in oregon are searching for four foster children who are on the run. pay attention to this story. police need your help. they say the kids bolted during a walk to the grocery store on saturday and have not been seen since. siblings range in age from 4 years old to 17. the children were placed in foster care for their own protection but it is believed somewhat helped them run away. take a good look right now at

the children. anyone with information is asked to call the oregon police at 505-434-750. if you don't have a pen call 911 and tell them where these kids are. you don't often see moose running around in denver. this female got lost. wildlife officials were not convinced she would find her way back home. they decided to tranquilizer her. it took four minutes for the drug to take effect. once it did, they were able to safely get to her. they are planning to bring her back up into the mountains. those are your headlines. brian: all right. that's it for the moose. straight ahead a lot more show. a high school cheerleader booted from the squad for something written in a personal email. we will tell what you she said and you can decide how far the school went and if they went too far. steve: she took a tumble. beer summit symbolic or successful.

did the teachable moment teach us anything other than a photo on? our political panel will answer that question. we will continue after this beer break. maybe one of the most important... new aveeno nourish plus. active naturals wheat formulas proven to target and help repair damage in just three washes. - building shiny, strong... - hair with life. announcer: new aveeno nourish plus.

it'll freshen my clothes automatically? wow, let's see you in action. hmm, i wish all my chores took care of themselves automatically. ( ♪ ) (dryer buzzing) ( sniffing ) enjoy automatic freshness for about four months with the new bounce dryer bar.

steve: deer the white house beer summit fall flat or help teach a teachable moment as the president wanted? we have the author of bam booze zel angela mcglowan. author of a brand new book called a conscience of a libertarian check it out wayne alan root. and daily.com columnist walter shapiro. ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us. >> thanks. >> let's start call walter with the fact that the president last week said that the cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting his friend professor gates. the stupid part really inflamed

people. he wound up effectively for us had a photo on to show the two of them getting together. what do you think about that? did anything get accomplished other than the president was knocked off message for eight days and he was doing his best to get going? >> that's exactly it this was an example of if you have a lemon, turn it into a beer glass. [ laughter ] >> barack obama answered the question at the press conference as someone of his own african-american heritage rather than as a president. it was a mistake. he rushed to judgment. it is not a fatal mistake. it is going to be rertd. i mean, it is sick that i could tell you exactly what beverage all four of them had. steve: we have been chewing on this. 41% of americans say this was handled badly. >> it was handled badly. first of all it's a minor thing by itself.

it's amazing how washington makes a big deal of a few words. but, having said that synergy is what matters. i was on the show debating with walter a month ago with sotomayor. me and my friends come from a blue collar middle class background called mount vernon, new york. we gave the benefit of the doubt to a guy like barack obama. not a radical leftist. steve: he is the president of the united states and is he talking about the cops acting stupid. >> pennsylvania, west virginia, ohio, are now looking differently at barack obama. >> they should see him as a -- they shuntd see him as a black president. we have got to get past. >> i let you finish. >> we need to get past that he did bring that up. it caused more racial strife. i think it caused more problems between blacks and police officers. have you ever had another president like apologize and have a beer fest. >> he never apologized.

he is incapable of apologizing. he has an ego so big he can't apologize. >> the beer fest was an apology to me. when you have children starving, when you have people losing jobs, when you have people that don't have health care, you are going to have a beer fest at the white house? for what? i'm more worried people who make money are going to lose it to health care. steve: 10 seconds. >> symbolic moment. >> symbolic of what? >> symbolic of barack obama trying to get this behind him. steve: big question is will he? please, did he kind of mess up the health care thing? we will continue the conversation with these three straight ahead. mean while, democratic leaders are already throwing each other under the bus over their inability to pass health care reform. is there a war brewing, there is that beer thing again, inside the democratic party? our political panel is going to take that up next. then an unlikely pairing. snoop dogg and the pope? the two have something in

steve: today is the final day of july. and tomorrow democratic leaders say, ok everybody, we are on vacation. and already democratic leaders have started pointing fingers over delays on the health care bill. senate majority leader harry reid seems to blame the media. >> i think that you folks have created the deadlines. we haven't. steve: what's he talking about? they came up with the deadlines. we continue with our political panel. walter shapiro, didn't they come up with the deadlines. >> of course they did. they were fake deadlines in fact

there is no reason other than politics why it had to get out to the floor of the house and senate in august. this is a white house deadline. but i will say there should be a surgeon general's warning. anyone who tries to follow the legislative machinations on health care reform it's dangerous on your health and your sanity. steve: wayne, the whole thing, if they can't get it through, rather than blame the media, he should say i'm going to have to blame the democrats because they have the super majority. they control both houses. they control the white house. it's the democrats' fault. >> i have got to till something. i'm from nevada. harry reid makes me laugh. how do you know is he lying his mouth is moving. this guy makes things up. i have got to tell anevada story that sums up health care. in nevada we have legalized prostitution. do you know that the most successful brothel in history was called mustang ranch made over $100 million. the owner didn't pay taxes got indicted on income tax evasion. the federal government took over the brothel and it went bankrupt in one year.

do you know what the moral to the story is? i have got to he will it you the moral. >> a moral we can hear on family tv. >> prostitution and health care. >> if you can't run a brothel you can't run the nation's health care. that's the moral of the story. government cannot run anything. >> let's talk about politics. your congresswoman does not support obama, you have other people jumping ship not supporting obama. >> that's right. it's going under. >> now we are trying to blame the media chuck schumer even though it might be planned because chuck loves cameras. is he putting together bipartisanship committee to look at the issue. the only way we are going to be able to solve this problem is by republicans and democrats working together. you can't do this overnight. work otogether on something i believe is socialism destroy the country. >> i didn't say they should work together to create universal health care. >> right now in the senate, there are three republicans.

mike contendsy chuck and olympia snow of main who are negotiating with their counterparts on the senate finance committee. and the future of the bill in the senate depends on whether or not they can reach an agreement. >> self-preservation is the first law of nature. steve: exit question, will it pass in some form. >> there will be something called health care reform and barack obama will call a great victory. steve: wayne alan root the author of the libertarian will it pass? >> it will pass. both their houses they will pass garbage that's bad for everyone. steve: as long as they don't get in the brothel business. will it pass in the fall? >> some form will pass. they will say it's universal health care but it won't be. >> cash for clunkers is an example of why they shouldn't pass health reform. they estimated a billion dollars. out of business. they don't estimate anything right. >> prostitution and health care. >> clunkers, how about that?

10:4 there will be another opportunity at 12:42 a.m. cargo bay doors are now closed. 9:22 a.m. there will be the go-no go decision round robin for the deorbit burn. if it's a ago :42 they will begin burn. and then they will eventually go throughout atmosphere quite dangerous as always. all of the inspections while they have been out in low orbit has shown that the space shuttle endeavour is fit to go back through the atmosphere. brian? brian: phil keating. nothing routine of course with the space shuttle. keep checking in with you. 26 minutes before the top of the hour. let's talk a little stimulus. because we earmarked $787 billion to goose our economy. get us going. alisyn: we now know where 80 million of those funds have gone. steve: to the unemployed? alisyn: no. steve: poor people, brings? alisyn: to the porn industry. not really to the porn industry. to the arts program that has

porn graphic element. they have given millions of dollars to some productions. some musical productions. for instance. steve: the one you are looking at there. $60,000 for the frame line film house which presented funder crack. a porno horror film four men, three women and a gorilla. all right? alisyn: how much did they pay the gorilla? al there is 25,000 to the weekly production of perverts put out. taps long running explicit performance series. steve: got to hope it's about putting out fires. >> well, based upon their materials there, it doesn't look like it. brian: there is no regrets about this. the spokesperson defended the agency's choices and says its grants helps preserve jobs in danger of going away or that had gone away because of the economic downturn.

so the cast of thunder crack could have been unemployed. can you imagine that. alisyn: $50,000, let's be serious for one second, could have gone to some sort of infrastructure program or repairing roads or, you know, bridges, potholes, rather than thunder cracks. i'm not sure. steve: do you think this is a good use of your stimulus dollar? friends@foxnews.com. brian: 24 minutes before the top of the hour. alisyn: here are your headlines. immigration bust near the border of southern arizona. acting on a tip they stopped a refridge rated truck hauling fruit. also trapped inside 96 immigrants some as old as 9 years old. the temperature inside the truck chilly 34 degrees. the driver sunday arrest. brian: more troops could be

headed over to afghanistan. mccrystal coming out next month. several inside say he is pushing for changes. top u.s. official says the need for more forces is linked to a new strategy that involves clearing and holding provinces where taliban have fled. it's expected mccrystal rearranging u.s. and nato forces to help protect afghan civilians much like iraq. it could spark a sensitive debate on capitol hill. i don't think republicans are going to be standing in his way. steve: meanwhile, most of the 0,000 people who live in brian texas are back home this morning now that a huge chemical fire is finally under control. black toxic smoke settled over the city and even spread to the texas a&m campus seven miles away. fire started in a plant that makes fertilizer out of highly explosive ammonium nitrate. 34 people treated for smoke inhalation that could have been a lot worse. alisyn: the house has voted out a measure telling the food and

drug administration prevention. this is reactive to the simon nell la outbreak peanuts that killed nine people. 500 people to pay for tougher enforcement. some lawmakers say the bill is too invasive. the senate has not acted on this issue. brian: divers are looking all over for a world war ii navy dive bomb tore see if it's worth recovering from a reservoir southeast of san diego. the plane known as a hell diver was spotted by a fisherman in february after it was ditched 64 years ago. it was on a practice bombing run off an aircraft carrier. the crew survived. in fact, the pilot who is 90, is believed to be living in michigan. steve: that's cool. meanwhile what do pope benedict and snoop dogg have in common? think about it for a minute. they are both cutting albums for the same record level. pope benedict about to become the first pope with a musical cd. the pope will sing a number of chants on the christmas album.

he will also read liturgies to brand new contemporary music. profits from the cd will benefit education of children around the world. the album will hit stores november the 30th. so stand by for that. alisyn: don't mess around with tim mcgraw at a concert or he will give you the boot, apparently. >> turn around. get out of here. alisyn: mcgraw stopped his concert when he saw a fan get too rowdy around a woman. he called for security to throw the allegedly abusive man out. this is the second time mcgraw has kicked someone out of his audience for being too rough. last summer he personally threw a man out for pushing a woman next to him. no more pit at the mcgraw concert. brian: he was tugging that guy up by his pants. his dad's name is tug. how ironic.

let me tell you what is happening with this boxer and the tragedy that happened in brazil. his wife was originally blamed for killing him. now brazilian authorities are ruling the death of the montreal boxer gotti as a suicide. the former multi world champion was found dead at a resort in brazil earlier this month. his wife has now been released from custody. gotti was 37 years old. a lot of people around gotti do not believe that he killed himself. and they really question the wife. mean while, could michael vick be playing the role of tom brady's backup this receiving? bill check isn't saying whether the team is interested or not in michael vick. the coach praised vick's at lettism. the pats training camp. vick himself says he is getting close to signing with the team. i'm also hearing the rams and possibly the 49ers. here is something you don't see every day. let's go to chicago. white sox, yankees game. andy pettitte slips. ball from jim toe may. earlier in the inning.

throws away a double play. leading to the go ahead run. pettit would not be happy. he events his frustration beats up a cooler only to clear up after himself a little later on. see? how many times do you see a player do that? they never do that. so many other shows focus on the actual game. i think that we are really leading the charge. by the way. the yankees are on an incredible run. they lead the red sox by two and a half games. brian: great job doing sports. alisyn: compliment guys are still here as you can hear. >> hey, you did a great job doing the sports earlier we wish you were up there with you. you gave a great interview. brian: compliment guys are spanning the globe. giving people a different perspective on life. steve: we met them a couple of months ago. purdue students hired by kodak to go coast to coast and do that. brian: do you have anything to say to alisyn? >> still a great purple dress.

alisyn: our producers are so unsung. you can turn to your left and give them a rile of compliment there. >> you are doing a great job in the control room. alisyn: how about to jen williams right now? >> i love your paisley black dress. brian: look at that what's the difference between complimenting girls and coming on to them. >> not at all. that's ridiculous. we obviously don't do that we compliment just as many guys as girls. steve: that's effective. so, we are going to have them out on the streets. brian: how is it going so far? >> i'm sorry, i didn't hear what you said? brian: how is the show going so far? >> we are having a great time. you guys all rock. the green room was awesome. delicious coffee. steve: thank you. alisyn: pouring it on a little thick now. thank you, you are making us all feel better. thanks. stick around all morning.

steve: thanks, compliment guys. alisyn: health care reform could mean deep cuts for seniors. that could spell disaster for the president himself. peter johnson jr. is here to break it down. brian: high school cheerleader kicked off the squad for something she wrote in an email. we will tell you what she typed and let you decide did the school cross the line? - hi. - crowd: hi!

alisyn: this follows after another girl on the cheerleading squad had put some pictures of herself on her facebook smoking and drinking. so then the coach demanded everybody give the coach their email pass words and then they went into their social networking sites. is that public or is it private? this is an ongoing debate. do you have any privacy when you use your email and your facebook or are their consequences and you can get thrown off of your cheerleading squad? >> they know and we have done this before. people don't get hired for jobs because when they go google their name things pop up on their facebook site or myspace site. they say ok we're not sure if we are going to do this. this is one of the first times i hear it effecting somebody making or not making a team. alisyn: email. different than a picture on a facebook. mandy jackson 15 years old. the cheerleader kicked off of the squad. she is here with her mother missy from jackson, mississippi. ladies, thanks for being here.

>> thank you. thanks for having us. >> so, mandy, as we just explained, your coach demanded your password for your email. so that the coach could monitor your social networking. what did the coach find when he read your email? >> >> what did the coach find when they read your email? >> the coach found an email between me and another girl who was having to be part of the cheerleading squad also it was just profanity. -- >> thrown out for just profanity profanity? >> you got thrown out for profanity? >> huh? >> she can't hear you. brian: doing a good job translating. that's the reason she got thrown out, right? >> they said the reason you got thrown out for cheerleading they need to you explain the repercussions that happened. >> yeah. pretty much. brian: what was your reaction, missy, when you found out about

this? wrote email with profanity in it and number two they hacked into it but they got into it and kicked her off because of it. >> she called me after it happened and she was like i didn't know what to do. i didn't know if i should give it to them or not. and i said well, now he, we will check it when we get home. and when she got home i checked it and she faced repercussions at home because that's my job as a parent and did i my job as a parent. and we went and talked to the cheer coach. and i told her i didn't think it was acceptable. she was thrown off of competition squad. she was sat out from several games where she still had to dress and just sit there. pep rallies. she had a competition ribbon taken away from her. she was a pack mule for the other girls. i mean, it was crazy. alisyn: you think that the punishment doesn't really fit the crime. so much so as we understand it, missy, that you are now suing

for $50,000 on what grounds and what are you hoping to have happen? >> well, let me start by saying that we didn't start off we're going to have a lawsuit. i went to the department of education. i went through the teachers. the counselors, the principals, the superintendent and school board and got nowhere. they basically -- she has admitted that she did it but she doesn't see anything wrong with it and apparently the school doesn't see anything wrong with it. to me it's the same thing as saying give me your online banking information to check if you bought cigarettes today. brian: it's too invasive and the punishment too steep. let us know what happens. alisyn: i should prep it's 50 million that you are suing for. >> yeah, it is. alisyn: that's quite a sum. >> well, you know, and you have to talk to our attorney on that. she is the one handling that. but, you know, it's like she says. how do you put a price on something that people have died

for. we fought for rights for privacy. we fought for free speech. people have died for those rights. brian: missy jackson and mandy jackson, thanks for sharing your story. emailers decide. obama's health care program. senior citizens could really suffer or could they? that story. . . did you know just one sheet of bounce outdoor fresh gives you more freshness than two sheets of the leading store brand? wow! who knew? bounce...

steve: the new proposal for health care could mean reduced benefits and higher costs to over 100 million senior citizens. alisyn: peter johnson jr. is here to explain the eye-opening details, peter. welcome. peter: hi. alisyn: they feel they'll be put out to pasture somehow with this health care plan. what specifically is in there? peter: the obama care plan is

calling for a 7% cut over the next ten years, so that combined with the effectiveness research meaning that you won't get certain tests or surgeries or procedures based on the president's panel's view of things. now, we understand that the plan called medicare advantage which is subscribed to by about 10.5 million americans, $156 billion, maybe going into the tubes, and that is very disturbing to a lotch people. in order to get medicare advantage you have to subscribe to part "a" and part b, and you can reallocate what you want, you can get catastrophic coverage, dental coverage, increased prescription plan coverage, and very often it's a

substitute for medi-gap, and many people find that medicare advantage is better for them in rural areas, more prescriptive plans, preventive care, the ability to get health care services easier and cheaper. alisyn: that will go away. peter: that is the plan under this plan, that $156 billion, and the president made it clear before he was the president that he hated medicare advantage, that he hated the fact that private insurance was partnering with medicare, so when the president says to me and you and our parents and our grandparents listen, you can keep the health care that you have, you can keep the doctor that you have, if he's talking about medicare advantage and you're one of those 10.5 million, then you may not be able to keep that, and so i saw the people who were former members of aarp this morning with you who were basically tearing up their card saying what did you do, you threw us

under the bus, how can you allow this to happen? some commentators are saying, and including me, i was thinking about this earlier this morning, i wanted to see how seniors voted in the last election. seniors voted according to one poll about 53% for john mccain and about 45% for senator obama, now president obama. and it gives you pause and it gives you some concern. is there a correlation between the two that people -- older americans -- that people who were dying -- steve: are you saying he doesn't politically need them? peter: well, he didn't politically need them, and i don't know if the calculation has been made, and there is no evidence that there's a relationship between the health care policy and the elect results, but when you look at the numbers, you say well, has the president and the white

house walked away from older americans? and are they paying the price for our health care folly in this country? older americans, and i've gotten a tremendous amount of email, are concerned about the fact that the president says listen, a quarter of medicare is spent on end of life care. are we going to punish our senior citizens, our oldest americans, our grandparents and parents as they die that doesn't make them more healthy, but it makes them more comfortable? steve: if you have a question about what is going on with the president's plan, email us at foxnews.com. alisyn: the phrase "the war on terror" was taken off the table, but is it now back? we will ask janet napolitano.

alisyn: good morning, everyone, it's friday, july 31st, here's what's happening, the president, the police officer, and the professor share some suds, but they didn't apologize. >> i think what you had was two gentlemen agree to disagree on a particular issue. i don't think that we spent too much time dwelling on the past, we spent a lot of time discussing the future. alisyn: what was really accomplished? email us and let us know what you think. steve: do you think it was just a photo op with beer? meanwhile the forgotten phrase it seems in this administration, "the war on terror." now it's apparently back. we're going to talk to the secretary of homeland security janet napolitano when she joins us live 20 minutes from now. brian: the show about nothing is doing something really big. for the first time since 1998 "seinfeld" is having a reunion. kind of.

our slogan this hour is "fox & friends," what a hoot, all the rest, give them the boot. [captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- >> good morning, "fox & friends." >> good morning, "fox & friends." steve: we have employed the time life operators to join us here, they're answering your phone calls, we should point out that ali's in, gretchen is on her way to connecticut to talk to laura bush, part one of gretchen's interview will air on monday, part two on tuesday. brian: today is usually the day we say geraldo come to the couch, but we can't because he's not on the couch, but he will be on our show. steve: he's in kentucky. alisyn: let me tell you your headlines at this hour, a house committee has rejected an attempt to limit abortion coverage in the health care reform package. at first they included an amendment to ban abortion except in a limited number of

circumstances, but in the second vote that was rejected by one vote. the committee may finish work on the full health care bill today. henry waxman has warned democrats not to add anything that will cost anymore money. cash for clunkers is quickly going broke. experts thought the program would sell 250,000 cars, but they didn't anticipate those cars would sell in one week. $1 billion was allocated for rebates, but $4 million is left. the white house is reviewing the program. more evidence that michael jackson was a drug addict. police detectives were looking for the powerful drug diprivan. they were look for records related to the ordering and delivery of the drug. officials are getting closer to charger the doctor with manslaughter in jackson's death. a final custody deal reached for

his children, his mother, katherine, will be their guardian, and debbie rowe will get visitation, and joe jackson is confirming reports that michael jackson had a love child saying that dancer omar botty is just like michael. is that who we see? >> at the funeral, front row. alisyn: two police chiefs will be arraigned in connection with a break-in of sarah jessica parker's police chief. the officers turned themselves in at a jail last night, but the exact charges have not been released. a third man is also arrested. the men plotted to steal valuab valuable information from the surrogate's home to sell to tabloids about sarah jessica parker and matthew brodrick. she gave birth to twin girls in june. john goslin of jon and kate plus

8 is out shopping a solo reality show about being a single dad. yeah, that's fascinated. they have earned as much as $75,000 per episode, but most of that money goes toward their kids. jon may be in need of some extra cash because of his new manhattan digs. brian: he might need a job. at six minutes after the hour, geraldo rivera always has a job, he's on the move and a good friend of the military, he's with major general john campbell. geraldo, you never looked better. >> thank you, brian, but here's the star, the man of the moment, this is major general john f. campbell, tin coming commanding general of the 101st airborne division just before i speak with the general, this war has been raging now in iraq and afghanistan for eight years, none have sacrificed more than the men and women in uniform, but we've forged some tremendous

relationships over the years, and we've watched general campbell when he was a colonel with the 82nd airborne in afghanistan and watched him into iraq, he was one of the point men in the surge, they call him america's spartan, he's one of our top warriors, and he's got a perfect match now with one of the most superb and legendary fighting units we've ever had. congratulations. >> thanks, i'm very humbled and honored to serve with the legendary 101st, so what a great day. >> you've done a magnificent job in the surge, everyone thought iraq was going to hell in a hand basket, thought we had been defeated there by the terrorists and the insurgency with soldiers like you, the point man in that surge, i saw you in sadr city, i saw you throughout iraq. can you do what you did there in afghanistan? >> we've got great leadership in afghanistan, general mccrystal is there, 101st just came back

two months ago, this brigade behind you just came back in april after spending 15 months in afghanistan, so we've got the right folks here, it's going to take some time, counterinsurgency always does, as you know. >> how do you deal with the issues of morale? here you have these guys, many of them have been -- those with any age on them have been at war now for months and years, their families go through all that wear and tear, their children. >> first off to the families we really thank them for their service, they really do sacrifice a great deal. you've got guys around the third and fourth deployments, they're all volunteers, our great army, they serve for a higher cause, it is a -- the band of brothers, in is the 506 behind us, and they serve for a higher calling, and if they did not do this, who would do it? i just feel so honored and privileged having the opportunity to serve with them, america is really blessed to have men and women that continue

to raise their right hand and volunteer to do this, so we ought to thank or blessing here. >> band of brothers, the tv program was based a unit of the 101st, they went ashore at normandy, they were at the battle of the budge, vietnam, and iraq and afghanistan, and afghanistan now i believe in these capable hands we're going to get some good news out of that country too, and it's really an honor to know major general campbell and his family and these soldiers behind us. i mean the 101st airborne, it doesn't get any better than this, they're not a better fighting unit on the planet, and they're led by a real warrior, america should be proud of him, we are at fox, and it's a tremendous honor to call you friend. >> thanks, geraldo. >> all right, guys, that's it from here. we didn't have a beer summit. but we had one on our own last night. brian: i bet you did on the company's dime. steve: let's talk a little bit about the beer summit, the boss of the major general there.

a brand-new poll showed before they sat around the little table on the south lawn of the white house, 41% of the country said that barack obama had done a poor job in handling this, and of course it all started when he referred to the cambridge police as stupidly arresting his friend. last night did anything get done or was it just a photo op where one beer at a time came out on a silver tray and finally the president is trying to move on because this has knocked him off message from the health care. >> i really agree with brian. he said something to me off camera last week that summarized it. he said the president for that one minute when he said that the cops had acted stupidly was acting as the friend of professor gates that he is rather than the president of the united states, so i think that in retrospect brian got that exactly right, but as of last night and that event at the white house, i disagree, i think there was a major event. it's the first time they've

spoken about race since president clinton's race initiative in 1998 in the white house, it's been a long time, it's a glaring, gaping issue, the fact that one guy could have a bud, one guy a sam adams, one guy a blue moon. alisyn: if a true falls in the forest and nobody hears it, how does it help? they were miked. how can any of us glean any wisdom from it? >> they say a picture's worth a thousand words, and the picture of sergeant crowley and professor gates and the president of the united states and the vice president joe biden all sitting together and the fact that beer has this legendary ability to make comrades of the oddest couples, and i think it did in this case, and the fact that we have talked about it, and the fact that most americans although critical of

the president's harshness in that momentary last are pleased this these people sat down together, all americans and all said ok, there are differences obviously, but maybe we can hash them out, at least we're talking about them, there's no apologies, pride is still intact, but there's a recognition that there is this divide, and we have to bridge it, and i believe that might have been a sudsy first step. brian: i don't have a catch phrase. >> one small sip for man, one big gulp for mankind. brian: i agree with alisyn. we agree to disagree should be the phrase banned by all americans. then you don't get agree. what got done? nothing got done? >> i don't want to parse it here. we agree to disagree about who was in the right, what was in the wrong in that specific

incident, but the fact that they were all there, that they all showed up, they were all men, all looked each other in the eye, that to me was the beginning of a dialogue that has to happen now in tap rooms and classrooms and workplaces throughout the country. i think that there should be one country where cops and citizens have the same vibe when they encounter each other where people are grateful to see law enforcement universally and law enforcement feels the same sense of security as they do in one neighborhood as the other. steve: we thank you very much and give our best to the men and women there in fort campbell. >> can you guys do a hoo-rah or something? alisyn: all right. coming up next what needs to be done to repair the strained relationship between the u.s. and israel? what should the obama

administration be doing differently? brian: a tow truck winds up in a backyard swimming pool? the reason? it seems like he was texting. so many arthritis pain relievers -- i just want fewer pills and relief that lasts all day. take 2 extra strength tylenol every 4 to 6 hours?!? taking 8 pills a day... and if i take it for 10 days -- that's 80 pills. just 2 aleve can last all day. perfect. choose aleve and you can be taking four times... fewer pills than extra strength tylenol. just 2 aleve have the strength to relieve arthritis pain all day.

>> i don't see very much that's good at all. i think this reflects president obama's own view that israel is the essential part of the problem in the middle east, a very different view that president bush had, but an analysis that basically mirrors what many europeans think. they believe if only you could make progress between israelis and palestinians, sweetness and light would break out and many issues including iran's nuclear program could be solved. i think that's backwards, but i do think that's the view of the obama administration. brian: they are really upset about barack obama's approach. how have the people responded to this tough guy routine? >> favorability ratings are way down for the united states and president obama. i think we're at a position of strained relations between israel and the united states like we haven't seen since the suez canal crisis of 1956. israel, and particularly prime

minister netanyahu is more focused on iran than the negotiations, and that's part of the reason for the tensions between jerusalem and washington. brian: you talk about crunch time between israel and iran. people at home say we've heard that for years. why do you think now we should pay attention? >> i think israel has not yet made a decision whether to use military force. it's a terribly difficult decision to make, but i think they're facing realities in iran, number one, how close iran is to being able to fabricate a nuclear weapon, number two, the likelihood of their defenses, and number three, that iran is hardening its nuclear program, so israel's options are declining rapidly, and they're going to have to come to a very difficult decision i think by the end of this year. brian: and they are confident, israel, that if they actually do this mission that the targets are clear enough that they could pull it off and do legitimate damage? >> i think they know where the targets are now.

i don't think they have any doubt this is an extrordnarily difficult decision. we're going to get blamed for it if they do it anyway. there's a lot to be said for making it a success. brian: ambassador john bolton, thanks for breaking it down with us. >> thank you. brian: the phrase "war on terror" got the boot, but now it seems like it's back. we'll ask janet napolitano. ♪

steve: it is about 24 minutes after the top of the hour. here are your quick headlines. sin city getting a terrifying

scare, a tiger on the loose after escaping from a magic show in las vegas. animal handlers were hot on its trail. the animal cornered into a backyard and taken into custody. also continental airlines will soon come loaded with satellite tv. it's the latest airline to add tv. jet blue and virgin already have it. they're going to have 77 live channels by the year 2011. alisyn: maybe our country's biggest threat, the number of home grown terrorists, are on the rise, what's being done to keep us safe? brian: let's ask the woman on the forefront of homeland security, the secretary of homeland security, janet napolitano. welcome, miss secretary. >> thank you. brian: war on terror, what prompted you to bring the phrase back instead of overseas contingency operation? >> well, i'm not really into labels. what we're talking about is the fight against terrorism in all forms whether it comes from abroad or indeed is home grown,

and what americans can do to combat it. alisyn: i know you just gave a major speech on the state of homeland security. how would you describe the threat level today? >> you know, i would say -- in answer to the question are we safer than we were prior to 9/11? yes. are there things that we need to be doing every day to be safer? yes. so the threat of terror now is always with us. we can't seal off the united states, but there are things we can do, individually, locally, federally, and even with our international partners to make it safer. steve: you know, in that big speech that ali was talking about you did use the word "terror" i think 28 times. we've got a computer program, we can count it, and that's great because i think a lot of americans are thankful that you're calling it what it is, and i'm just kind of curious, madam secretary, i know the

president during the campaign was critical of the bush administration policies regarding a lot of the war on terror and stuff like that, but it seems like what you guys are doing right now is very similar to what they were doing. would you say that george bush got it right in a lot of respects when it came to international and domestic terror? >> no, what i would say is -- we don't need to be a nation that lives in a state of fear. we need to be a nation where everybody is prepared, everybody knows what to do, everybody has thought through what they would do, what their family would do should something happen, either terrorist or caused by nature, and that state of preparation and that confidence in preparation is exactly the opposite of fear. steve: let me go back to my question. would you say that the bush administration got it right in a lot of respects regarding domestic and international terror? >> well, i think that to the extent we're talking about

terrorists, whether home grown or international and the threat of terrorism, that threat has not gone away since 9/11. brian: ok. the guys that you got in north carolina, the guys you got about 15 miles from this studio, you seem to think they were going to attack us over there. are you getting especially concerned that a lot of these guys are training here to attack us here? >> well, our concern is individuals who become radicalized, and by that i mean they've gone into the world of violent extremism. and yes, we have seen an increased presence of that home grown within our own soil, and yes, that increases our need to work with individuals, to work with local cities, and it's big cities like new york city, but it's also places like in minnesota, like in

north carolina, across the country. alisyn: what is the biggest threat, home grown terrorists or overseas terrorists? >> i don't know if you could rank them one or two. they both exist, they both must be dealt with, they are both things that we are concerned about, and they're both things that we want americans to be prepared about. alisyn: i know in your speech you talked about how americans individually can be more prepared. what is that? how do we do that? >> well, one of the things that we ask people to do is when they see something unusual, if they see, for example, somebody continually taking photographs of a piece of critical infrastructure that doesn't seem to make any sense or a package left unattended on a bus platform to report that to the local law enforcement so it can be followed up on. those are the kinds of very simple things that can be done.

now, we're not asking people to spy on their neighbors or do any of that sort of thing. there's a balance to be struck, but it's a careful balance, and it's one that i think in the end that will make us safer. steve: all right, the secretary of homeland security, janet napolitano, we thank you very much for joining us today from your secret location somewhere in washington, d.c. thank you very much. >> thanks a lot. alisyn: in just two minutes from now new figures on the economy will be released, we'll bring those to you and break down what they mean. brian: he searched his country for 20 years, but a u.s. naval officer is serving up some tough love as well when it comes to the aarp. tonight's dinner specials:

>> obama really cut loose at the kegger. he was wearing baggy dad jeans and sipping a bud light, so he was just -- steve: he was not wearing dad jeans, he looked like he had just come in from the oval office, and somebody who knows

something about dad jean, chris wallace. do you own dad jeans? >> i own nothing but dad jeans. i'm a dad. i was on vacation last week, and i felt for bret baier because he didn't realize what a snake pit he was walking into. i know exactly what a snake pit i'm walking into, so i'm fully prepared. hey, brian, how are you? brian: chris, out of everything you could have told bret baier you're mad at yourself for focusing too much on the show and not enough about the friday morning tease with "fox & friends." you're mad at yourself. >> listen, there are some things that you just have to discover for yourself, and coming in to take you guys on is one of those things. steve: take us on. alisyn: you did give him i thought the good wisdom to make fun of brian mercilessly which he sort of rejected, but let's talk about the beer summit. how much of an impact will this have given that there were no microphones and it wasn't really

shared with the general public what was said there? >> i think that it will have exactly the impact the white house wants it to have, which is it will fade away. they want out of this situation, so badly, and i will tell you something, the president and the white house owe an enormous debt of gratitude to sergeant crowley who held that news conference afterwards, couldn't have been more poised and gracious. let me just say if he ends up being the next director of the fbi i will not be surprised. steve: you weren't with us last week, so we were unable to get your opinion on this, but when the president had that prime time press conference and he did refer to the cambridge police as acted stupidly when they arrested his friend, professor gates, and then he tried to walk it back a couple of days later, the -- according to a new poll out, 41% of americans feel like the president has hand this whole thing very badly, and it's gotten them off message. the white house wanted to be selling health care, not talking about beer care.

>> exactly. i was sitting watching the news conference which gives you an idea of what a wild and crazy guy i am on my vacation, and when he said it, i just went oh, baby, i wish i were doing a sunday show this week because you knew this was going to be a political storm, and it was, and it was one of those, as they say washington is a place where a gaffe is when they're telling the truth. i think that's the way the president felt, is he felt they had acted stupidly, he said it, and he paid the price for it. brian: i love to be surprised when you hop on because i never know what's going to happen because you have the band and all the jugglers, but can you give us an idea of what guests you have on this sunday and give us a little bit of a tease? >> does that mean that the segment is over, you want to get rid of me? steve: time is money. >> ok. all right. anyway, we are going to have -- thank you so much for that very gracious segue, brian. we're going to have charlie rangel on, the head of ways and

means talking about raising the top marginal tax rate up over 50% with his surtax on health care reform, we're going to be talking to senator demint who has talked about the waterloo of health care reform and is part of our series about rising stars in the republican party, we'll talk to mike pence who is clearly a rising star in the republican party. speaking of rising stars, brian, back to you. brian: look at that. chris, you've never looked better, more well-rested, and even if you didn't have facial work done, it looks like you. >> if i had facial work done and i look like this, i'd sue. steve: keep your receipt. alisyn: thank you, great to see you, let me get us right to our headlines because we do start with a "fox news alert" for you. the gross domestic product for the second three months of the year is down 1%. the federal reserve says there are signs in some parts of the country that the decline has

stopped, and a recent increase in home buying indicates the turn-around could be starting to get under way. steve: another "fox news alert" on this friday, the weather, looking good for space shutting endeavour's scheduled landing at 10:48 eastern time down at the cape in florida. the seven-member crew put a new addition on the $1 billion space lab. see that, people down on earth are rehabbing their homes, and they're doing it as well. one final experiment will be completed after it lands. a japanese astronaut -- brian: we love this story. steve: that guy is going to have his high tech underwear examined after wearing them for a month straight. they are designed to be able to be worn one month straight. steve: w alisyn: who pulled the short straw? brian: it's a bad time to be an

intern at nasa. you've got a tow truck driver accused of texting with one hand and talking on a cell phone with the other. he winds up in someone's backyard swimming pool. the car lands in the house. listen. >> we do have admissions and preliminary information that the driver of the tow truck was talking on a cell phone and potentially texting as well using two cell phones at the same time. brian: the driver of the car suffered head injuries, she's in good condition, her 8-year-old niece suffered minor injuries, the driver of the tow truck charged with reckless driving. alisyn: health care reform has seniors making changes. a navy veteran and his wife canceled their aarp membership because it is endorsing the president's plan. earlier on "fox & friends" i spoke with lee downs about his decision. >> i don't want to have to stand in line and wait for. i want to be able to go to the doctor. v.a. is one of the best health plans in the world. i'm a veteran service officer,

and i work with veterans every day, and veterans are very scared of obama and his health plan. alisyn: downs is hosting a vfw seminar where he says he will encourage other vets to cancel their membership to aarp as well. steve: it's been called the greatest sitcom ever made. now, the cast of "seinfeld" will be reuniting for the first time since they were all dismissed in 1998, but it's not quite what you think. larry david, the creator and star of hbo's curb your enthusiasm says he is getting them together for the finale of his show. it will mark the first time since the cast have all appeared ther on the same screen. and those are your headlines. meanwhile let's talk a little beer because we were talking about the beer summit. brian: i've got to tell you, let's talk more beer. president obama made peace over beer at the white house, and we're going to serve up some

beer-inspired recipes. we have our inspirational hope here, author of "the beer lovers cookbook," he's created breakfast recipes with american beer. >> we're going to have our own beer bash right here for breakfast. we have scrambled eggs made with beer. it's my dad's recipe. simple. two secret ingredients, of course the beer. this one's for all the dads out there. secret ingredient chicken bullion and beer, and -- alisyn: i'll be the judge of that. steve: how much beer do you put in? brian: too much bullion, honey. alisyn: i just got a mouthful of beer. >> i find every time i make these i add a little more beer than the recipe calls for, and with any of these recipes --

brian: tell me what else we have? >> we have pancakes, these are the homemade pancakes, a really basic recipe. they're this great caramel color because i use my family's dark beer that they just came out with. steve: it tastes good. brian: it takes like somebody spilled beer in my pancakes. >> what's great about this is you can use some of those great flavored beers out there. my friend, glen, just gave me this raspberry beer and blueberry beer. alisyn: you haven't found some magical way to combine beer and bacon, have you? >> i have. fry the bacon in the beer. simple as that. steve: i love this guy! he is so complicated. do you have a web site? >> people can twitter me at john

schlim. tweet tweet tweet. we overnighted one of these to the white house because i thought the president should serve a little beer food with his beer. thanks for having me. brian: good luck and tell glen we said hi. >> i will do that. steve: who's going to be the designated driver after breakfast. alisyn: we're just getting our bacon buzz on. brian: governor tim pawlenty says the president's health care bill is bad news, it will leave us bankrupt. we'll hear from him live on the other side of the break. alisyn: south beach is trying to get rid of a popular tourist attraction, mr. clucky, but the bike riding rooster is not going down without a fight. steve: what's happening this weekend, the boys are here? >> coming up, karl rove is back, he's back to talk health care and he's going to talk about the

politics of fear. >> also some very good news for all you parents out there like myself, a potential cure for colic could be on the way, and we'll tell you what causes all of that crying as well. >> does that work for you as sfwhel. >> yes. >> plus mary joe buttafuoco is going to be here, and she says there are warning signs that you're living with a sociopath. she's going to tell us what they are. all that and so much more on "fox & friends weekend." go climb a tree. or discover things you've only read about. get the gear to get it done at bass pro shops. like the body glove method life vest for only $19.94. and take 33% off all remaining towables. like the body glove method life vest for only $19.94. spend 10 minutes a month with natural instincts. it's the healthier way to blend away gray and give you color that shines on.

we could do on a bipartisan basis to come together and fix this broken health care system, and it is broken, and one of the main reasons it's broken is because we can't afford it anymore, but things like medical malpractice reform, getting rid of junk lawsuits, making sure people aren't excluded from insurance because of preexisting conditions, portability so you can carry your insurance from job to job, but there's aspects of this bill that could form the basis for a bipartisan compromise, but this is not it. they are ramming through a roadway, a map to bankruptcy. steve: it looks as if they won't be able to vote on it before they go on vacation, in fact, the house goes on vacation tomorrow. governor, harry reid has already started pointing the finger, and it's not just at your party, he's blaming the media as well for making up the deadlines and stuff like that. all he's got to do is look at his own party. he can't even get enough democrats to sign on to this thing to say ok, we're for it.

they have got a supermajority. what's that about? >> it's about that facts matter, and even some of the democrats are being responsible as it comes to the financing of this thing. you do not balance the checkbook by sending out more checks. they're saying we're going to save money by spending money. it's nonsensical, even the democrats have figured that out. don't take my word for it. the cbo says this thing doesn't come close to paying for itself, it's going to be a major contributor to debt in this country, not just to federal government spending, but also the tax burdens that this is going to place on employers and employees at a time when our economy can least afford it, it is a bad idea, misguided, and they need to put together a true bipartisan package. alisyn: you just laid out some of your solutions that you would have had included in this plan, and one of them is tort reform, that would be limiting that malpractice insurance that is pricing general practitioner's out of the field. how can that not be included in

this 1,000-page bill? >> it should be, but there's politics around that because you have various groups, namely, the trial lawyers who fight any more effort to make it more difficult to bring those kinds of lawsuits, but in minnesota we say if you want to sue a doctor, you have to have another doctor sign an affidavit at the front end of the lawsuit saying it's meritorious. that screens out in many cases the junk lawsuits. steve: tim pawlenty, the governor of the great state of minnesota. alisyn: remember this guy, mr. clucky? he was in court yesterday to see if he could stay in town? did the judge tell him bye-bye birdie? steve: at the top of the hour megyn kelly joins us. what's up with you? megyn: i'm so glad you're having mr. clucky on because in kelly's court today we will tell you what happened in court yesterday, show you some footage, and we'll break down his legal rights, so tell that guest to stay tuned for 10:40.

clucky and his owner. good morning. your neighbors did not like the fact that you had a farm animal in your apartment. in fact, it made a lot of noise -- it is a rooster. >> that was actually not an issue. steve: is the judge going to allow you to keep your pet? >> i did petition that he was a pet, not livestock. they have offered me a possible out as an executive exemption to the rule because he is such a good influence on the community. alisyn: does mr. clucky have to go?

>> we are still making an appeal to get the exemption. it looks good. the mayor has mentioned that she likes him. brian: is it true or false that there is a mrs. clucky? >> he does have a companion in a brewster from south africa. steve: for now you are going to appeal. you say is not a farm animal, but a pet. we'll have to see how officials react. brian: it just shows you that you can make a difference. we will be back in two minutes. new centrum ultra men's.
