i published it in paper book. put it in your >> good morning everyone, it's sunday, august 2nd. is that right? >> it is. >> it is, happy anniversary. >> thank you very much. all right, wait until you hear this story, it's shocking, a teacher fired and arrested over mere rumors, that she had sex with a student. can you really be arrested based on hearsay? >> well, it's supposed to protect teens from cyber bullies, but a controversial new video shows a student committing suicide. does that cross the line? we report, you decide. >> and this will wake you up this morning. . [scre [screa [screams] >> make it stop!
6:01 am
>> i can't make it stop. >> an ear splitting contest to see who can scream the louders. we are going to show you that now that my here is ringing. >> "fox & friends," like a fine tuned porsche, there is no substitute. >> it's time to get up with "fox & friends," it's safe, natural and effective. >> it is, except 16 and 4 hours. >> no, we're going to slotle into gear faster than that. >> really? >> yeah. >> i assure you we will. >> we just got the coffee fired up. it's an age old tale, something we'll talk about, weigh in, let us know how you feel about this, men versus women, apparently women have a different reaction to cold temperatures than men do. >> finally, scientific proof because we've been having-- >> we were trying to await
6:02 am
this study. >> a battle royal at every-- as i do with my work husband every single weekend, the fight about temperature. >> we already had one. >> this morning, it was the worst. >> five minutes ago. >> cold, too hot. >> but first let me be clear, the president likes to say let be me cheer. in fact, it is his favorite phrase, one he's uttered over and over and over again in his first few months on the job, an interesting article on the politico.com, how frequently the president uses this phrase and exactly what it accomplishes, gee guys. >> from excuse me president bush's former speech writer, it's a phrase, a verbal twitch. an example of president obama using the let's be clear linements first of all, let me be clearments let me be clear. >> i just want to be clear. let me be clear.
6:03 am
>> so let me be clear. >> i want to be clearments i want to make clear. >> i want to be clear. >> but let me be clear. >> so let me be absolutely clear. >> let me be clear. >> i just want to be clearments so let me be clear. >> i think he wants to be clear. >> so the question is why? >> okay, well, first of all, there are lots of different theories why he uses this particular phrase over and over again, the first is that here is a president who ran on transparency, this is in with his theme so he believes in being transparent and clear and it's symbolic, some people like david frost think it's a verbal twitch and some other speech writers believe that's the setup phrase for start taking notes now. here is the take away, here is the headline what i'm about to tell you because if you just say it without the let me be clear it gets lost. >> or a pause. a lot of good people who give the speeches who are very good on their feet in public speaking, there's a pause and people say if you take a pause
6:04 am
before you make a point people put down what he's saying. >> let me be clear, this is-- >> it is effective, at some point they lose their effect, yeah, i've heard that 30 times and stop taking notes and stop sitting upright when people roll the breaking news banner in our industry over and over again, that lose $its effect. we put together a pop quiz, what he is intending to do with this phrase. pencils up, this is the take awayment start taking notes. >> or b, what i've said doesn't mean what you fear it means. in order you may be confused, but let me be clear. >> the media is putting down there, let me be clear. >> c, i'm not going to get rolled on this one. >> let me be clear, you've remembered humors, or let me
6:05 am
be straight. i remember tear mccauliffe, obviously, a friend. clinton, ran for his own seat, he always said at the end of the day. well, at the end of the day, at the end of the day. what i think democrats really believe at the end of the day. at the end of the day. >> he used it so much it had a verbal-- >> do you have a catch phrase. >> i think you do because i use one of alisyn's if something doesn't get the full merit, she says we don't have a short shrifted. >> no, get short shrift. dave, you have one. strong work my friend. don't you? >> he says that's brutal. >> you say something like good work, fine work my friend or strong work my friend. that's it, well played, well played. my wife points out i always use shocking. this is shocking. so i need some new adjective. >> what does clayton do?
6:06 am
i have a new app on my iphone. that's a verbal phrase. >> just bought an app. >> i think he does that fi philosophical pause, it's not verbal, it's more nonverbal. boom, there it is. he's trying to garner that attention, look at me, this is going to be important. >> all right, look at all of us, we have something important to tell you right now, a big interview that gretchen carlson has gotten with the former first lady, laura bush they had so much to talk about, a sneak peek, you'll see this on monday, take a look at what the former first lady said particularly about sarah palin first. >> everyone has to respect the decision she made. as she is like a whole lot of people, other people get into politics, find out it's a great big world when you get into politics and i wish her the very best. >> of course, we are going to be speaking about sarah palin coming up later, seven days
6:07 am
sis her resignation. >> and also the former first lady talked about being a female vice-president. >> i would love to see that in my lifetime. i hope that's what we see and i hope it's a republican woman. >> talking of course about a female president, that could happen in the near future and also, she discussed her life now that she's left d.c. and is down in texas in president bush, what her life is like now. we are having a really great time. thrilled to be home in dallas, dallas is a terrific city, it's a can-do city, it's our net, but at this point we knew since we lived there 14 years ago when we hifd lived in the governor's mansion and moved into the white house so we're acquainting ourselves in dallas and of course, many, many friends there and do things to go out to eat.
6:08 am
>> just normal. >> fun normal things, exactly, lie on the couch and watch television. >> so more with the former first lady come morning, the full interview here on "fox & friends" and then part two on tuesday. >> i hate to say shallow, listen up, let me be clear, the white house doesn't age women, it only ages men. laura bush looks exactly the same as she did the first day that see walked into the white house. she looks beautiful. why do men age so rapidly in the white house and they become gray. >> well, the study found that most men who become president are in an age where they age that much anyway. >> and the presidency ages you four years for every year in offer and seen barack obama with gray sprouting up and michelle-- >> maybe the diet going on. >> in the meantime, let me tell you what's happening in the news.

6:17 am
clare mccaskill, democratic town hall meeting. what happened when you showed up. >> a room for 150 people, but relocate us to a cafeteria area to accommodate a thousand people. >> is this the intention of the town hall, to talk about health care to field questions and what happened? >> no, i think the intention of the meeting was because the week prior clare mccaskill's office had called police on protesters so a represented showed up to take some comments and concerns from his constituents. >> so what happened there? >> seems a lot of people are cheering and you got up and spoke at one point. what are people cheering about? >> well, i think i kind of shed new light on it, shouldn't be a new light. everybody else is talking about it's going to do for taxes and i stepped up and said it doesn't matter what
6:18 am
it's going to do taxes. congress doesn't have any such power. >> you're saying you specifically defend the constitution as a marine and congress should protect the general welfare of the yeets, but dopt mean universal health care and every state should then mandate health care coverage, is that what you're saying. >> i'm saying that thomas jefferson and our founding fathers, benjamin franklin, patrick henry says that the general welfare clause should be used in the confines of the powers of article 1, section 8 of the constitution and nowhere is anything about taking over any kind of control over the health care system enumerated in article one, section eight. >> the debate when you were hearing from people in the audience, what are they saying to you when they spoke. do they want you running for office? >> yeah, i've had people talk about that ever since over the last week and it might be in the future and it might not be. but i definitely got a lot of
6:19 am
good response from it. >> we noticed senator mccaskill was not at the town hall which i find odd. it was organized by her, but they sent the representative there. what did you want the senator and people to know what you that night? >> the point i was trying to bring make my bringing up my oath, members of the armed services are issued armor to go to battle and they should file the constitution to the letter of the law and that's why i brought up my oath and her oath, something that we both have in common. >> paul, we want to thank you for serving and joining us here this morning on "fox & friends," thanks so much, paul. >> thank you. >> seems like a lot of people were listening. thanks, paul a man prays for his sick daughter instead of taking her to the doctor. and nows' facing 25 years behind bars. that story is coming up. xí?? . ♪ singer: buckle up, everybody 'cause we're taking a ride ♪

6:23 am
>> well, he was just found guilty and convicted, a father to prayed to god that his sick 11-year-old daughter madeleine would heal and now he's facing town 25 years behind bars because she passed away as a result of her illness. >> fox news religious correspondent jn thjonathan morris. this girl had diabetes. he told the court that god would heal his daughter, never expected her to die and after all the bible promises that god will heal. how are you argue with that? >> it's a sad story, first of all, and i think what this man made was his wife was involved and she was actually convicted as well. they needed a spiritual guide, someone to say now what, you don't have to get rid of your
6:24 am
faith and in order to think rationality, faith and reason go together. and he entrusted to the court, to the judge. he said this, he said bringing my daughter to the doctor would have been putting god, rather, putman before god. that's not the case. god gave us the gift of human reap, the gift of doctors and we can do both so i think this man just got stuck and that needs to be so clear, there's no such thing as a god who asks us to do irrational things. >> it's not faith or science, it's faith and science. what would you urge people to do? this man is not alone, we certainly know there are probably thousands like him that believe that faith will heal that they will not go see doctors. what would you urge them-- >> i would say that faith heals, god heals and our faeith
6:25 am
brings us through god. sometimes god takes us to doctors. when we say that we don't want doctors to get involved and we're saying that god can om do it one way. i don't believe that. it's a sad story. >> it is horribly tragic. let's talk about politics and religion. a vocal group, christians united for israel and they, it seems, are not pleased with president obama's policy on how he's been handling israel, what's the problem here? >> i think this is a pro israel group and everyone should be pro israel as far as i'm concerned. >> why? >> because we should be pro people and the jewish people are people just like everyone else and to say that-- >> have to choose sides, if you're pro israel perhaps you're anti-poll-- anti-palestian. >> that's a great point. israel is our great friend in the middle east, democracy, and religious reasons involved
6:26 am
in this. they say the jewish people are the chosen people and people are saying and therefore we need to protect them. we need to look at history. there's a history of anti-sem timtism in this country and other country and we have to be careful. at the same time, what we can't do is equate the modern state of israel, with somehow god's, you know, god's political force in the middle east. i wouldn't go that far and if we do that, then we can get into all sorts of fundamentalism, they can do whatever they want because they have the state of israel. that's the balance. >> they're not happy with the obama administration's stance on israel, but we will see if that changes as we go forth. thank you for your time this morning. >> indeed, we're-- all right. coming up, look at this teacher, she was just fired and arrested over mere rumors that she had an inappropriate relationship with a student. well, now, she's planning a lawsuit. does she have a case? >> plus, it could be the most
6:27 am
daring rescue the coast guard has ever made. inside details. the incredible story you probably never heard coming right up. limb: dude that was sick! i've been hangin' up there for, what, like, forty years? and then - wham - here i am smacking the pretty off that windshield of yours. oh, what you're looking for an apology? well, toss another coin in the wishing well, pal. it's not happenin'. limb: hey, what's up, donnie? how you been? anncr: accidents are bad. anncr:but geico's good ding! with onsite windshield replacement.
6:28 am
6:29 am
>> welcome back here to "fox & friends." check out your television right now. your shot of the morning. dozens of people may have fallen into the record books in an english warehouse with a trend that's becoming popular. and they're trying to set a world record for mat test
6:30 am
dominoes and waiting to hear from people. i love how the one woman screams. you know what happens when they're hitting on the men, i don't know if you noticed that. >> i did not notice until just now. >> thank for pointing that out. >> shouldn't have trouble to get the guinness railroaded, no previous record for mattress dm nos exists. >> that's bizarre. >> i don't know why the end of this video turns into a benny hill skit. >> i think we should try this here on the plaza. everyone here at fox, it'd only be like 12 of is, but it'd still be good fun. >> i think you just want to lay down on the mattress, that's what i'm learning right now. >> that's what he's angling for. >> you're going to trust us, fall backwards on dave and me, a trust exercise people should do at work and see how that goes. >> your latest sarah palin
6:31 am
update awaits. there isn't one. seven days since she left office, and we still have not heard a single thing from sarah palin. not a tweet, not a facebook post, she is gone on social media blackout. >> this comes on tn thp on thes of what she said ten days ago, which is that she was going to speak on the social media outlets, but all of her supporters want to hear from her and they're not hearing anything. here are some posts on her facebook page. >> sar a can you give us a hint, drill, drill, drill all the way to the white house. >> sarah, is there any way you can let us know you're reading this, a little tweet sometime. >> clamoring to hear from her and remember, she said a few days before see left office, she says, it's only a few more days until i am up bridled-- unbridled. gloves off, i can finally in
6:32 am
not a politically correct way answer some of your questions, and finally get the straight talk out there. but nothing. >> nothing. >> she promised less politically correct tweetsment we haven't seen a single one. we've seen a poll, a fox news poll showing what people think she would be best suited. >> 27% said vice-president would be the best future. 18% as a homemaker, 14% as a talk show host which she had been rumored to be pursuing on the radio, no confirmed reports of that and 12% would like to see her be our president. >> she's versatile. >> and 2012. >> that's all over the map from homemaker to president. people see her, very interesting, that does, i think, sort of capture how many different hats she wore as a politician. a mother of five. did run for vice-president, governor, some think should she be in alaska fishing with her husbandments i want to
6:33 am
know why the silence on the social media outlet. even in the last three months she's been active tweeting about state policy the past three months, domestic energy policy, she's been all over tweeting, facebook, so, now in the past week there's been radio silence and supporters want to know what's going on. >> you're a social networking guy. me, i could go on the blackouts for ten days. >> but nobody is clamoring to know what you're doing next. good point, good point, but you can see her wanting to escape from this, 24 hours a day and the press has been in her shoes, and allegations-- >> the social media. >> see want to take a break. >> the social media, anonymity, out on the lake, and she said that publicly she was going to start responding and saying now that i'm out of state politics, i can actually start telling you the straight talk. >> give her a few days, i hope
6:34 am
she's out of cell service, the best part, get away and really relax, no computers, no cell phones. >> a post it on the blog. let us know what you think she's up to and why the radio silence. >> speaking of twitter, i'm clayton morris on twitter, i'll respond barry as dave-- >> sure, i will. >> headlines this hour, there's word that the bomb administration is looking at new ways to house the terrorists. plans are floated to create a courtroom in a prison complex inside the u.s. some say they're looking for potential seats where military and civilian detention facilities would be combined at a single maximum security prison. >> there's an update to the story that broke during our show yesterday morning, the homeless man accused of carrying a fake bomb into laguardia airport. he's been ordered to undergo a mental health examination. they say he checked in for his
6:35 am
flight to chicago, refused to answer questions and tried to press a trigger buttton attached to the backpack filled with wires and a battery and the airport was evacuated for a time because of this incident. >> are you having second thought about your child's education? retired supreme court justice david souter is and candidly addressed the need for better civic education among the youth at the annual bar association meeting. went on to express the majority is unaware of the basic shape of the government and causes some concern and the new aba president elect will be one of his priorities will be teaching seive i cans. you might think they're trying out for a horror meeting, no, a world record for the loud est screams. (scream (screams) >> make it stop. >> an audience kept their difference as 11 ear splitting contestants competed against
6:36 am
each other. there is your winner there, out of an original field of 1500. >> she's good. >> 1500? >> all right. let's check in with rec reichmuth for the hair weather -- hair raising weather. >> we are going to see more rain across the eastern part of the country. a r rough day today. severe weather to be had and take a look at the weather maps as you're waking up. the temperatures a little warmer and more humid today, across the eastern part of the country, as you're waking up towards minneapolis, severe weather this afternoon. and that satellite radar shows the rain in the eastern part of the country and this is next frontal boundary moving through and by the afternoon, i think we are going to be seeing severe weather across parts of connecticut, western massachusetts, all the way stretched down towards south carolina, the seaboard looking for severe weather. as you look out to the west, a couple of problem spots and
6:37 am
one across the far northern plains and the next system pulled in and brings weather across parts of south dakota and minnesota and you're also, see that little rotation across the areas of the west and that's going to bring the threat for severe weather across parts of oregon and could include thunderstorms and fires and we'll watch at that closely. back to you inside. >> yeah, i think there's a tornado whipping up where you are, rick. thank you for sending it back here. wait until you hear this. the next segment may seem like something out of the movies. an across between saving prievate ryan and it's a story of heroics, a rescue the u.s. coast guard made in 1952 you probably never heard about. here were the details. casey sherman, the new book "the finest hour" chronicles this. >> thank you for having me today. >> it was february 18th, 1952, ap and snowstorm, a big nor east are rolled into new england, set the scene for us.

6:39 am
people around the country. stories of courage under fire and faith. to a man they didn't think they were coming home, but put their faith in god to set them through and that's what they did. in fact, they had a credo, which by they operated. even though it was a suicide mission, what did they say to themselves? >> the old credo in the coast guard you have to go out, but you don't have to come back. >> they lived by that motto, they can't think they would make it, 32 men trapped on the stern section of one of the vessels and taking this tiny life boat out. built only to hold 12 men in 60, 70 foot seas and the first wave they get almost kills them. it picks the life boat up off the sea, slams it down on the surface of the ocean and the captain of this life boat, barney webber noticing two things, his compass is gone and two, windshield is smashed and picking shorts of glass out of his face as the snow
6:40 am
and wind are picking at his wounds. and casey, i had an epiphany. god put me here for this day, time and rescue. what do the rescuers do? the next wave is barrelling down on them and they begin to sing religious hymns, rock of ages and strong that give them the emotional spiritual strength to keep cutting into the killer storm. if i pa put that in a novel, a fictional novel, nobody would believe it. >> over the top. what happened? >> they were able to save 32 of 33 men on this tanker and again they didn't r any means of navigation to find the tanker, it was according to the captain, divine int interventi intervention, what led them to the incredible rescue. as i said 84 men were trapped, 70 made it home on a night where no one should have come home alive. >> as you pointed out. some of them are still alive? >> that's right, and that was my great honor to write this book and to talk to the real heroes ap to tell their stories before they passed on.
6:41 am
three of the heroes have passed on. one is still alive andy fitzgerald from colorado and he said it was the most incredible storm he'd ever been through and they always think, never think about all the men they brought home that night. they think about the one man they didn't bring home and weighed on their emotions and souls for decades and it's a great story, one of the top books on amazon right now, we're proud of it. >> a page turner, the finest hours, the pictures are great and the story is thrilling. casey sherman, thanks for coming in. >> thanks for having me. >> we have breaking news, we just learned that the remains of the first american lost in the persian gulf war, that's captain scott spiecher, has been found after nearly 20 yea years. more details on this story, i'm sure you've been following for years, straight ahead. >> the teacher fired from her job solely for rumors she had an affair with a student. can she take legal action?

>> well, a kentucky teacher was fired and arrested for sexually abusing a student, but she claims the charge was based on mere rumors. can you really be fired for hearsay and does she have a case against the school. here to debate this, mercedes coalen, criminal defense attorney and fox legal am list and former prosecutor remy spencer. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> remy, will the me start with you, is this enough? this is a rumor from a 16-year-old kid in high school. these are where all rumors are virtually born. they may have ruined this woman's career over what he says and she tit denies. >> it's much more than a rumor. this is an allegation by a high school student at that his teacher sexually abused himment we know that the prosecutor's office takes-- the prosecutors take a boat that they have to enforce and
6:45 am
uphold the law. if they believe this boy, and that the evidence supports this allegation, they have an obligation to pursue this case. we know that the prosecutor's office has said, they will not comment on the evident, and some information has come out to the press about this boy's allegations, that impacts his credibility, but we don't know what other physical or tang dpibl -- tangible evidence is out there. >> the principal questioned the students supposedly involved. he denied it only after they told him that he would be expelled if he lied did he then say, well, yes, i had sex with this teacher. the prosecutor has to look at this, but do they have to fire her and maybe ruin her career before finding out if she's guilty? >> you're exactly right. there's no way that the school should have done this. it's first of all shall the teacher went to the principal first and said piatt way there r were rumors i was involved in some sort of threesome, there's no truth to the allegations.
6:46 am
she's got handed the rumor number one, and handed the criminal charges are filed and hires a lawyer to get a civil suit against the school and this is outrageous, these allegations are baseless, untrue and here are my phone records, there is some texts and look at the texting, there's nothing there, nothing salacious, no sexual content. >> i'm sorry, mercedes, 25 text messages between a teacher and a student that isn't even in her class does not make any sense and there's absolutely no appropriate reason that a teacher should have that kind of relationship. >> there's nothing sexual. >> we don't know what other evidence the prosecutors have in their possession which will support this case. no one is going to take this case to trial if they think they're going to lose. >> and no one charges criminal charges are going to come forward and sue the school and sue the student and sue the-- >> you have clients, too, that have done that. >> the greatest part about this, we can debate this in the nine o'clock hour and
6:47 am
there's more to it in the nine o'clock hour and the civil trial is on the way. and the text members, you're right, probably inappropriate. thank you for being here and they'll see you for the debate at nine o'clock. >> breaking news, remains of the first american pilot shot down in the persian gulf war. captain scott spiecher has been found in iraq. we will have a report from fox's own jennifer griffith ahead. plus, it's supposed to protect teens from cyber bullies. a storm of controversy and instead depicting a teen committing suicide with that or does it cross the line. a fair and balanced debate next. hi, may i help you? yes, i hear progressive has lots of discounts on car insurance. can i get in on that? are you a safe driver? yes. discount! do you own a home?

6:51 am
shot down in the persian gulf war nearly 20 years ago have just been found and the navy located the remains of scott spiecher in anbar province. jennifer griffith joins us live on the phone with the breaking details. what can you tell us. i've just been told it was marines in anbar province taken to a place in the desert where it's believed that captain scott spiecher's plane went downment two iraqi citizens took the marines there and pointed to a place where they they saw, at least one of them say back in 1991 bauried the remains of an american pilot. they removed the remains over a period of several days, i'm told by a senior u.s. defense official and those were flown to the armed forces institute of pathology in maryland. they did a comparison pr dental record of captain spi spiker and made a visual and
6:52 am
ra radiographical match to some of the dental records with the jaw bone and that was positive. over the next 24 hours i'm told at that samples from family members will be compared to the dna from the piece of the bone fragments taken from the site and we should have the sec positive sief identification once those tests are done . according to one navy official, we never stopped looking for one of our own when they're lost no matter how long it takes. >> this has been a subject of headlines for controversy for many years, fox's jennifer griffith, we'll check with you later. >> here is a controversial story, prosecutors in new jersey are trying to crack down on the new trend of cyber-bullying, but they've created a controversial new video that depicts a high school boy committing suicide after being bullied, is this too violent for teens to see or exactly the kind of thing to shake up teenagers and get
6:53 am
them to stop bullying behavior. >> we have dr. keith ablow forensic psychologist is with us from government and a clinical psychologist, thank you for being with us this morning. >> always a pleasure. >> thank you. >> keith, let me start with you, a video shown to kids that ends in the hanging death of the teenage victim? is this over the top? is it too much for kids to be on seeing? >> here is the thing, cyber-bullying is a major problem. this is-- it can't be overstated. this affects millions of young people, bullying in all of its forms is known to trigger major depression, it's known to follow people into their adult life, et cetera known to cause suicide. so, this isn't over dramaizing, this is sending the message to kids, hey, you're playing with fire. with this new technology, you can ruin lives, it's not too much. it's what's needed. >> so, jeff, what do you think, is this scared straight
6:54 am
as keith is saying and it will be effective or do you have concerns? >> well, dr. ablow is absolutely concerned. 42% of teenagers are affected by cyber-bullying, it's a huge problem. however, how are we to show kids that this is something that they need to address and they need to stop. this video that was put together was shown to parents. for parents, it might be appropriate, but we know for kids it might be too much. you have to worry about suicide contagion. the c.d.c. back-- ments you mean copycats? >> the copycats. the c.d.c. backed a study that showed when you talk about suicides in videos and reporting it, you have to be careful not to glorify it, those who may be at risk for suicide may commit suicide. that's a major problem. >> the second thing and it's important here, the second thing and very important thing here is when we're working with kids, we know that scared straight does not work, it has a very temporary effect. instead we should look at a campaign that forces them to think about their behavior not scaring them into stopping it.
6:55 am
>> go ahead, keith. >> well, i think this video may well do much more than scaring kids straight. and look, this isn't glorifying suicide by saying, hey, there's a suicide club or tease kids are cool 'cause they're tattooed and jumping off brinks. this is about the consequences of your behavior. why is everybody in america so worried about talking about the real consequences of what you do and taking responsibility for it. people can die if you bully them. it's psychologically devastating to people. why not show the effects. why is everybody, jeff, why are you so worried, this is reality. this is reality tv everywhere that's a joke. this is real. >> look at the smoking campaign, where we try to scare kids into not smoking, i've worked with thousands of kids and they love at the commercials and images of people who lost their esophaguses, who have had major smoking problems. we need to stimulate them into
6:56 am
thinking and i see that we do that with the stop smoking campaign where in fact they mike some light of it, but the kids are actually able to converse about it and discuss it. >> i'm sorry we've got it leave it there. the burgeon county prosecutor's office that produced it found it so controversial and incendiary, they wouldn't give us an example to show to our audience, to you guys this morning and see if they show it to students come september. thanks for having the debate. thanks. >> thanks. >> let's go over to clayton, what's coming up on the show? >> we're battling terrorists in afghanistan right now. should we be more concerned about terrorists right here on u.s. soil? startling new warning about a rise in home grown terror, we'll tell you about that coming up. you r watching "fox & friends" cuddled up in your snuggie? it's time to share the comfort with man's best friend. that's right, now your

7:03 am
payout. >> he's andrew j hall. he's 58 years old and basically has a country under citigroup, and what he is essentially, an energy speculators and you may have heard bill o'reilly talk about energy speculators in the past and he has a contract that basically says he's entitled this cut of the risky bets on the oil industry and he is due 100 million dollars as a bonus this year and of course, you know, citigroup has taken about 45 billion, in taxpayer-- >> remember all the hue and cry that rang out offense the land when aig, which had also been bailed out, was going to give out big bonuses to their top executives, so, congress stepped in to try to put the kibosh on that. and then the question now, should andrew hall be getting his 100 million dollar bonus? it's complicated because he's described as the top talent at citigroup. he with as responsible for bringing in 2 billion dollars. >> right. >> for citigroup in the last
7:04 am
five years, so he should be rewarded, right? of course. >> but in this climate is a 100 billion, i'm sorry, 100 million dollar bonus-- ments it's hard to keep track of the millions and billions. and i throw the numbers around. >> he's been trying to work out deal. he believes he should be getting this money and so, and other people do as well so they've been quietly trying to figure out a way he could get paid out. whether or not he starts a spin-off company which would almost be like a shelter for the company. one of the things they're working on and working on what's called a kwooet quiet divorce, and he would get the money how, an llc, a sheltered company in may not come in the form of a check. >> you can disagree with the practice of energy speculation and the government is trying to regulate that industry, do something about it because that's causing our gas price toss spike up and down and up and down and he's one of the people that bets on energy prices, again, he has a
7:05 am
contract, he earned this money and if he doesn't get it from citigroup,'s going somewhere else and get it and citigroup's going to lose top talent and they're going to lose a lot of revenue. >> well, in the new york times it reports this morning that if you paid $4 per gallon last summer for your gas because the prisses had fluctuated, in some people he's paid it because he's one of the people directly responsible for the speculation that caused the fluctuations. >> it's legal because of the contract. he's not doing anything illegal, it's unseemliment e-mail us and let us know what you think. >> first your headlines. >> the fox news alert. the remains of the first pilot shot down in the persian gulf nearly 20 years ago has bus been found. the navy located the remains of captain scott speicher in iraq's anbar province and fox's jennifer griffin joins us live on the feen with the details. what took so long? >> this was a trail that had gone cold many years ago, but
7:06 am
essentially what the navy official told me is they never stopped looking and it was marines in anbar province that got a tip from a local iraqi citizen and you know, anbar province was the beneficiary of the surge. it's become, you know, so peaceful there so it gave them time to start digging around and looking for information on capta captain, but never stopped looking since 1991. that's the important point here. two iraqi citizens said that they saw the spot in the desert in anbar where bed owens had buried an american pilot. and the marines went out there and over the course of several days recovered the remains and flew them back to dover air base and dna testing at the armed forces institute of patology in maryland and compared dental records and made a positive comparison and the dna in the next 24 hours

7:29 am
>> welcome back everyone. alisyn camerota with clayton morris and dave briggs. breaking news this morning. the remaeps of the first american pilot shot down in the gulf war have reportedly been found after nearly 20 years. that's captain scott speicher you're looking at. disappeared in 1991 and his remains were just found in the anbar province in iraq. jennifer griffin has been following this story for us all morning. how did they get the break in this case? >> well, the break came when two iraqi citizens showed marines out in anbar province the site where it was thought
7:30 am
that his plane had gone down and they did some digging the last few days and they came up with some remains and as they took the remains back to dover air base and conducted tests, then what was really the break was when they took the dental records and compared the jaw bone to the dental records ap they realized that in fact, they had a positive identification. this was at the armed forces institute of pathology in rockville, maryland. they're doing more tests in the next 24 hours on dna from family members of captain. but it's extraordinary when you think this is the only plane shot down on the first night on the gulf war in 19916789 wh. you remember when the skies were lit up over baghdad and skies were lit up and only one casualty that night. his plane went missing and the mystery and the navy has gone back and forth in terms of his
7:31 am
status and considering earlier this year, closing the case, but the secretary of the navy decided to keep it open and it's quite amazing after all of these it years, these marines were taken to a spot in the middle of a vast desert in anbar and they showed them where they thought the pilot had been buried. >> unbelievable story and thank you for breaking the nuss for us thmorning and i remember this well, my brother was there and watching that first night of the war, the gulf war unfold and him being shot down, hearing about this story, there was so much controversy as to how and whether or not he was shot down by a surface to air missile or a sam at the time and whether or not he was shot down by a mig fighter, an iraqi jet at the time. it wasn't until 2001 that we saw the cia report in fact he was shot down by an iraqi aircraft instead of a missile. no one knew what happened to him. there was mystery and other pilots saw flashes of light
7:32 am
and whether or not he might have ejected from the aircraft. >> people thought he was mia. they didn't know until today he actual way was killed. his family held village gill gills-- vigils. they would get word and some lead and rush to the house and i'm sure it's happening this morning. >> and the family finally getting closure that they needed so long. >> let's have an interesting piece on politico.com. let me be clear, when president obama says let me be clear, he wants you to listen, he wants reporters to take notes. that's his go-to lien every time. in fact, we put together a montage examples how many times the president said let me be clear recently. . >> first of all, let me just be clearments now, will the me be clear. >> let me be clear. let me just be clear here. >> i want to be clear. i want to make clear.
7:33 am
i want to be clear. let me be clear. so let me be clear. let me be absolutely clear. let me be clear. i just want to be clear. >> all right. now we've put together a quiz, i'm hoping we have it. i hope we do. here it is, what does this really mean when someone says let me be clear? what does the president mean? get out your pencils at home. a, this is the take away from what i'll go to way. pay attention to me. >> that's what kathleen, the director at university of pennsylvania says, that you have to give your audience the setup line so this they know what's coming next is what you really want them to pay attention to. so you have to give a little-- ears up, listen up, this is the theory. >> next the second one was, what i've said doesn't mean what you fear it means. if you think you're about to clear up some confusion. >> like you may have heard press reports about something. now, let me be clear. this is what i meant. you may have heard people saying this.
7:34 am
and pundits spinning it this way. let me be clear, this is what i meant and see on the list. >> and they're saying, see, i'm not backing down, i'm not going to get rolled on this, all of the above and then some. every president going back has their thing, their go-to line. reagan used a similar line and nixon a similar line, clinton used let me make-- or what, make no mistake about it. make no mistake about it was president clinton. everybody has their thing. >> i think mine, guys, listen to this. it's simple. listen to this, this you've got to here. >> you do, but i think your verbal tick and some people think it's about president obama, a filler when he needs it. and what was the one we said. >> it not a verbal tick, he reads off the prompter. >> well played. >> that would be a verbal tick. i have a hard time calling this a verbal tick, rekwe--
7:35 am
frequently relied on the teleprompter. >> what we played was off the cuff remarks in press reports. >> so you think. >> so you think. but it's, david, from the speech writer from president george w. bush, the theory it's verbal ticks. i say um, as you notice a lot. >> they're trying to fill. do you remember the ross perot, al gore, back on the debate and he, to fill time. ross perot was getting slammed at the time during the debate. he didn't know what to say and he looked at al gore, will you let me finish, will you let me finish. >> al gore, go ahead. >> even though he was talking, will you let me finish? >> and yes, i will let you finish. >> that's a verbal tick. >> all right. share with us some of yours or the ones you hear politicians say you find particularly annoying. >> meeanwhile, your headlines.

of the country dealing with the showers today and as the day heats up we are going to be looking at some severe weather firing across parts of connecticut, upstate new york, pennsylvania, new jersey, i think that's the biggest target potentially for a tornado today, but we'll see more damaging winds and hail across the areas of virginia and north carolina. in across the central part of the country, things are looking good. and a storm cross the northern plains and reach severe weather today in across south dakota and minnesota and maybe firing across parts of kansas. across the west. things pretty clear except towards oregon, there's an upper level disturbance across the pacific and moving towards northern california and oregon and we'll see the severe weather firing up today. we're warm in seattle, not as bad as we were, but we're still 92 today in phoenix, a miserable 112. tomorrow, we're seeing the

7:41 am
person you can turn to to have that kind of relationship. then you've got the problem, not the work environment. it really is a choice. it's a choice that each of us have to make to let people in, let our guards down a little bit. embrace other people and help each other be successful. it's a choice that every one of us deserves, versus struggling alone. >> there are four things to do to build the core mindsets. first, vulnerability. you're supposed to be more v vulnerable at work? >> yes, you are, with vulnerability and intimacy has authenticity. let your guard down a little bit. let them know you need help. there have been times i was struggling, feeling like i was drowning and didn't let anybody know and nobody was there to be there, even the people that wanted to be. let our guards down at least where it's safe. >> generosity, how does it work? >> i'm going to mick sure you're successful. the best teams make commitments to not let others
7:42 am
fail. that is the generosity we need somewhere in the world someone is watching out for. >> a rising tide lifts all ships is the theory. don't you want to make your work stand out as opposed to the team. >> we found of the 55 highest performing teams at that we studied, the number one predictive element was that they cared about each other and each other's success. >> candor. >> who tells you the truth. who doesn't actually tell you what they think they want to hear, but what you need to hear. we have that feedback. hold it back by not just hearing it, the feedback, you've got to hear it. >> the last kone is tough. accountability, people are afraid to take perm responsibility when they screw up. it's a must. >> you're always going to be held accountable whether you like it or not. step up and find people to find you accountable before
7:43 am
the boss or other people. who are the individuals that make sure you don't fail. >> see all of keith's temps in who's got your back. >> alisyn, thanks for having me. >> let's go over to clayton and dave and see who has their back. i want to try that trump exercise, you got my back, i've wanted to try this. i trust dave a lot. >> go. >> you didn't fall. >> i got nervous, i was looking in the camera and thought you were going to drop me. >> that's ridiculous, new tax laws are taking aim at the rich. sure, they can afford it, but is it fair. does this punish people for working hard and making something of themselves? >> plus, a new take on the news. here is a preview, take a listen. ♪ it's not the nicotine that kills, it's the smoke, the smokenight ♪ cancer, respiratory disease, it's the smoke ♪ ♪ it's the inhalation, the
7:44 am
smoke, the smoke ♪ no ♪ the nicotine, it's the smokes, the smokes ♪ . >> i got your back. i trusted. wwww i was always going having to go in the middle of traffic and just starting and stopping. having to go in the middle of a ballgame and then not being able to go once i got there. and going at night. i thought i had a going problem. my doctor said i had a growing problem. it wasn't my bladder. my prostate was growing. i had an enlarging prostate that was causing my urinary symptoms. my doctor prescribed avodart. (announcer) over time, avodart actually shrinks the prostate and improves urinary symptoms. so i can go more easily when i need to go and go less often.
7:45 am
(announcer) avodart is for men only. women should not take or handle avodart due to risk of a specific birth defect. do not donate blood until 6 months after stopping avodart. tell your doctor if you have liver disease. rarely sexual side effects, swelling or tenderness of the breasts can occur. only your health care provider can tell if symptoms are from an enlarged prostate and not a more serious condition like prostate cancer. so have regular exams. call your doctor today. avodart. help take care of your growing problem both cost the same. but only the new pringles super stack can makes everything pop. same cost, but a lot more fun. everything pops with the new pringles super stack can.
7:46 am
>> well, did you know that 95% of taxes are now being paid by the top 1%? and while we can all probably agree that the rich have a lot more money, therefore, can afford it, is it fair? and what about the american dream of working hard and getting paid for it? jonathan hoenig from capitalist pig asset management joins us this morning. good morning, jonathan. >> hey, dave, great to see you. >> we're not going to sit here and say, feel pity for the rich, those who make over a million dollars or more. is it fair, jonathan, to pay that great a portion of taxes in the country? >> i feel pity for them, dave,
7:47 am
absolutely. who pays taxes in the country? the rich. discriminated and called out jae anytime in washington, the rich pays the bill. the president talked quite a bit about the rich having to give back and pay tlar fa their sure. the rich pay the income taxes and poor lower income earners pay virtually no taxes at all. i feel pity for the rich. >> more than their fair share and the number skyrocketed the last 20 years, the shocking part of this. i'm concerned about, jonathan, what's message that this sends to you if you're a small business owner who hopes to some day be in the top 1%? what does it say to you about success? >> well, i think it's the implication, dave, if you're successful, well, you must have gotten rich on the backs of the poor, right? it's just not the case. rich people don't become rich because they break into your home and steal your tv set or your car. these are productive
7:48 am
individuals, whether it be small businesses as you pointed out. ceo's, entrepreneurs, productive individuals who create the wealth that many of us, both the rich and nonrich enjoy. the philosophy, from my perspective, it's pure marks when the poor need health care. the richest responsibility to pay for it. this is essentially from each according to his ability. rich large right here in our own society. >> and we see what happens when you rely so much on the rich. look at california, arnold schwarzenegger spoke wlast week with gretta, those who pay the major portion of taxes are suffering and california suffers. the concept is redistribute the wealth. aren't the top 1% the people that hire the people, that do invest so when they suffer, don't we all suffer? >> well, it's true. i mean, you don't get more wealth by redistributing it from people who earned it to
7:49 am
people who actually haven't. and you know, as long as it's the rich's responsibility, not in terms of charity. we know that people are incredibly charity, but as soon as it's the responsibility, the moral responsibility of the haves, to provide for whatever the have notes don't have. whether it be health, education, housing, i mean, there will always be something on that list that it becomes the responsibility of the rich to pay for. and then the it's the economic implication that's negative over time. when the tax the rich what you'll end up having, less rich people and less wealth to go around for all of us. >> jonathan hoenig from capitalist pig asset management. always appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> all right, have a good one. coming up, if you're just waking up this morning, we've had breaking news. this morning the remains of captain scott speicher have been found. the nearly 20-year-old mystery of the missing gulf war pilot is now solved. breaking details coming up at

7:55 am
over the world. totally permitted in the industry and some use it as an effect that goes just respond a creditive method to make themselves sounds angular or like a robot. we found we could apply this not just to singers, but actually to speaking voices and make them sound almost like they're singing themselves. this is the he can nolg, auto tune is use today make ashley s simps simpson sound like she can sing and michael, did you come up with this idea yourself? >> yeah, i did come up with the idea. there are so many songs, being in love, being in love at the club, why not make this film. >> have you ever want today take stuff from our show from here in "fox & friends" and are there any kind of chicanery you could use from our show to put together some stuffments while i'm talking i can't help, but analyze your

8:02 am
and can lead you to the remains. so the marines followed these guys out there. they'd seen people travelling people bury the remains of scott speicher. that explains a whole lot. because people wondered how after 20 years had his body never been found, had the crash site neve been found. saddam hussein and iraqis always said we have no idea. we don't know where he is, but his status changed certainly over the years back and forth and initially declared killed after 1991, but the lack of remains and always a mystery that was around his death or potential death made them dechair him missing in action and later missing captured so they were found earlier this week. the bone fragments were brought back here to the u.s. up in maryland, examined and positively identified from his jaw bone, one thing, that was a match, to bone fragments that they had there. so this almost 20 year mysteries of this american

8:11 am
all. shows nearby offenders and these are the types of applications that people are downloading and you wonder if it's feeding into the paranoia of this. put the five or three people right on the local map right here on the phone and it pops up with the images right here. >> by the way, this is a tremendous tool for parents, i'm a parent, i put in my address this morning and now, you lived in manhattan where there are literally thousands of people around us, and out in the suburbs, i found three within a mile and a half of my home, out in the burbs. >> not all are created the same we need to say. >> not at that they're all child molesters. >> and parents should know regardless. >> you hope that the police are doing this so you don't have to as a parent keep an eye on them and know exactly where they are. the police are watching. here is what concluded. address, date of birth and list of convictions and has it right there as you click on each of the individual items so you know the level of severity with which you actually are dealing with these sex offenders in your neighborhood and i don't know if it breaks it down by that,

but shows the conviction. >> i'd like to see that. >> it's a frightening thing to think you've got the power in your pocket like that. one of the top downloaded. >> you know the other two apps in the i-store. cannibus and the sports illustrated swimsuit he did he gos app. these three. >> cannabis, pray tell. >> find local cannabis dealers who provide medical marijuana legally. >> this is the offender app and a national website, nsopw.gov. the nation data base and enter your zip and each state has its own website, a good deal. >> dawn of a free era. >> a free version and 99 cent version, more on that. >> president obama is shifting the efforts of the immigration enforcement pole and this time wants to focus on employers and move away from the high profile raids that resulted in thousands of workers being arrested during the bush years.

>> well, the obama administration a trying to shift i am immigration policy towards employers who hire illegals and moving away from the high profile raids that resulted in thousands of worker arrests during the bush years. it's time now for a fair and balanced debate.
8:16 am
and joined by michael cutler, a fellow for immigration studies and francisco hernandez, and immigration, gentlemen, thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> and let me begin with you. the strategy to shift away from the workers and more to the employers who hire them. that sound more manageable, doesn't it? >> well, it might sound more manageable, but again, it's creating the illusion that they're trying to deal with illegal i am dprags, i don't think they are. >> why? >> they don't have enough special agents even if you were just going after the employers, the problem is, the relation twen the employers and illegal aliens is comparable between the relationship between the prostitutes and the johns. you need to go after both sides of the equation and just going after one side doesn't discourage illegal aliens from running our borders. >> if you drive up the demand. wouldn't that help solve part of the problem? >> well, and we have to remember that illegal i immigration is an economic
8:17 am
issue not a political issue. the reason at that illegal immigration is in the united states folks are going back because we're losing jobs in the united states not because of enforcement. and if mr. cutler is, and i believe he is, we don't have enough agents to enforce for every employer, it doesn't make sense we need to shift priorities. what about this? one of the priorities the president is now thinking of is just going after those illegal immigrants with criminal records, those who commit crimes here, again, that stands to reason. >> fine, and i think you need to do law enforcement is a triage and do that and nevertheless you need to be able to weed out the illegals in our society because when you have a lot of illegal aliens, they spring up in crime-- >> identity theft and houses of prostitution for men who come across the border without their families and slavery and human rah trafficking issues and no one addresses the issue of fraud.
8:18 am
just to give you an example it's creating illusion. if you want to discourage illegal immigration, why would you offer health care, speaking out of both sides of their mouth trying to be in both places, you can't do that. >> fred, go ahead. >> we're not providing health care to illegal illions. mr. cutler makes a very good point. we have to give the folks that are here to build us a reason to come out of the shadows, let's give them a work permit. we don't have to give amnesty or citizenship, let's divide them and give them work permits for jobs that exist and for the labor force that's there available and haven them come out and give them driver's license so they can buy insurance when they're driving and hit me and pay for my car. >> that doesn't make any sense. >> bring them out of the shadows. >> out of the shadows couldn't work. first of all, we don't know what true names are, what name would you put on the driver's license and documents. and these are-- >> i let you speak, let me
8:19 am
speak. >> go ahead. >> they're using false identities across the board, why identity theft is the fastest growing white collar crime in america. what needs to be understood, if you're here in violation of law you shouldn't be entitle today remain here and do the things you came to do in the first place and by the way, the gang bangers during the day work in supermarkets and do landscaping and take the other jobs and at night engage in gang activities and we real really-- >> go ahead. >> u.s. citizens, i mean, criminals are criminals, they may have jobs, nothing to do with their citizenship. >> okay, guys, i have to leave it there and the debate obviously will continue and thanks so much for coming in. >> thanks for having us. >> thank you francisco hernandez. >> we have breaking details for you on big news story this morning the missing gulf war pilot captain scott speicher's remains have been found after nearly 20 years. we'll tell you what led to the discovery next. a national campaign against drunk drivers is picking up speed. should first time offenders be

8:24 am
arranges and supplies kids with school supplies they need for the upcoming year. well done. clayton. >> thanks, big mama. congress is looking to pass a new bill in the four states to mandate that all first time dui offenders install locks on their vehicles. is this the appropriate way to battle drinking and driving. the president of madd and from the american beverage institute, they join me. >> good morning. >> sar sarah start with you. why is this not a good idea. all convicted dui offenders required ignition locks in their cars. >> first thing to understand, 11 states have seen fett to pass this type of law and the vast, vast majority rejecting it usually in favor of what we advocate for, mandating locks for repeat offenders, the vast
8:25 am
majority that cause the fight fatalities. it ties judges hands for evaluating dui cases because it's incredibly, incredibly costly. this federal mandate would cost the states hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure costs and they reject it because they recognize what we do which is that madd wants to put ignition interlocks ultimately in the cars of all americans as original equipment. they have been very vocal about the fact they want to do this and this legislation would be an incremental step to seeing at that happen. >> laura, i'll let you respond here with madd. what do you have to say to what sarah just said. >> the reason we don't have mandatory interlock in every state we haven't tried to get it there yet. the fact it's passed phenomenal in public policy work and i think that abi would have you believe that
8:26 am
.15 is really drunk, but .08 through .14 is just a little drunk when in fact the u.s. has one of the highest blood alcohol concentration levels and those who are at .08 are not just people that have been to a ball game and had a couple of beers or somebody who's been to dinner and a glass of wine. these are people who at .08 are legally impaired, congress skieded that everyone knows you're impaired at .08 or above. the fact that we supposely are trying to put locks in every car is absolutely true. anyone can go to our website and see that-- absolutely not true. and anyone can go to our website-- >> it is absolutely true you said in a number of news report. >> interlocks in any car. i like to have a glass of wine occasionally, too, i would not want to blow in any device-- >> one at a time here, sarah go ahead. >> the distinction she's making, simply not to put breathlizers, but alcohol senseening all cars and asking
8:27 am
for millions and millions of dollars in federal fund to go develop this technology and it's already very surface kated, steering wheel sensors that read through the moisture in your hand and retinal scans and that's on the record a number of times saying they want to see this in all cars. >> what's wrong with that? what is wrong with though, i mean, we ha here all the time people get behind the wheel of a car, driving is a privilege not a right. and driving is a weapon and people are killed on drunk driving accidents and the money woos spend as a nation for drunk driving deaths and what's wrong with having equipment that prevents these types of occurrences? >> first of all, once this is on all cars it's set at extremely low level about .02. >> not true. >> absolutely not. >> and what you're doing, rather than targeting this hard core alcohol offender population who are vast-- who cause the vast majority of alcohol related fatalities. >> again, not true. >> you're going after all americans. >> let's give laura the last
8:28 am
word here. >> it doesn't make any sense. >> well, it does make perfect sense. abi has supported, again, any kind of thing that would allow intoxicated drivers to continue to drive. we're talking about. >> that's not true. >> and drunk drivers, it's sad that-- >> you're talking about usurping state rights. >> and 45 chain restaurants would advocate letting intoxicated drivers continue to drive. it's sad to us. >> that's why it's controversial and thank you for joining us, if the new highway bill passes for all 50 states and people convicted of dui's to equip their cars, thank you for joining us this morning. more to come here on the show. learning more about the discovery of captain scott speicher's remains in iraq. we'll tell you where the tip came from. the pilot's remains found after nearly 20 years, that's up next and coming up, also, the employee chasing down a purse snatcher at this store and catches the bandit, but instead of rewarded, he gets

8:33 am
would never know where to go, but they took them out there. they started digging, about a week of digging and after about a week, they came up with-- it started in the last week they began the dig and found some bone fragments and remains and it was just last night that the jaw fragment was proven to be a match with the dental records of captain. that took place in rockville, maryland, at a testing center and the remains to dover air base and at that point, the chief of naval operations called the family in florida and said that they had found the captain. >> anything from them, from the family, jennifer? so far we've not heard from the family and we're trying to reach out to them now so see what they'd like to say. this has been as you can imagine a rollercoaster ride for them. there was talk in the navy of closing the case earlier this year, but the navy secretary decided to keep the case open. >> all right. fox's jennifer griffin breaking the story for us this morning, thanks for your
8:34 am
coverage this morning. we know when he disappeared he had a wife and two very young children, a three and a one-year-old. >> this was a long time ago. classification was he killed in action, was he mia and the distinction had consequences because of the search efforts, but the navy never gave up hope looking and the officers want today continue the case, incredible story. >> finally some answers, what else is going on? . the other headlines, religious tensions lead to violent riots in pakistan. at least eight christians are dead after muslims opened fire and hundreds of muslims looted and burned christian homes in an eastern city and tit started after allegations and one defaced the koran. >> there were thoughts of a father that his dying daughter would be cured by prayer along is looking at a lengthy prison sentence. dale newson, convicted of second degree reckless murder.

8:37 am
supporters. supporters want to know what she's up to and gone on the facebook page in droves. take a look at some of them. >> here are the posts, one says sarah, can you give us a hint? another says drill, drill, drill all the way to the white house. >> and another says sarah, our country needs you now, exclamation point. is there some way to let us know you're reading this, maybe a tweet some time. but as you point out it's radio silent for the past week and it's interesting, a few days before she resigned she wrote this, quote, at the point days till less political ly correct twitters fly from my fingertips. everyone was looking forward to what she had to say not encumbered by having to be politically correct and now saying nothing. >> i just checked on twitter, still nothing. >> and she's got well over 140,000 followers just on twitter not to mention the thousands and thousands on
8:38 am
facebook. so, people wanted to know, she's been silent about it in the social media sphere she's been active in. an interesting fox news poll released this week has these numbers, take a look at this. what americans feel. 27% think she should run for vice-president. 18% homemak maker. 14%, best suited as a talk show report. there's a report that clear channel radio turned her down for a syndicated show and 12% say she should be president perhaps in 2012. there was something else in her facebook page yesterday from her spokesperson. shooting down a rumor that her and todd palin were getting a divorce, and stapleton say they're married and commit today each other and no truth to that rumor floating around. >> and the rumor mill has always been surrounding her, imagine how frustrating for her, hear things about your personal life being talked about out there.

8:40 am
cold more than men. >> why here in the summer you're probably having lots of battles royale between the spouses, husbands and wives. i fling over the window and turn off the air conditioning and my husband is wilting within like-- >> poor, guy. >> let's read what some of you say goes on at home. and this comes from leslie in omaha, nebraska, i'm the one who likes the cold. leslie, that's strange. my husband likes it warm i'm turning down the thermostat and telling him to put on more clothes. i think this is a question that feeds to be asked prior to marriage. >> before finance figure out your stance on the thermostat. >> yes. >> a great point. here is another from karen in florida. my husband and i are fighting over the setting. he is forever cold and of course, i want it colder. he goes to bed and turps the air up to 75 and ten minutes later i wait until he's sleeping and turn it back to
8:41 am
72. and the research-- >> the cold, i wish i could have it at 72. >> ap not a chance. 68 in here. >> my red heads feel sensitivity more and cold more. another new study out and i love the study, says that extra pain may be inflicted upon redheads, they're more sensitive to pain than people with dark hair, brunettes, blonds, that somehow they're able to feel and dentists reporting specifically that they have to give them extra shots of novacaine. >> yeah, from the journal of american dental association and they found that they require more general and local anesthesia. are more sensitive to pain and this is scientific research. redheads more sensitive than brunettes, blonds, all of us. so maybe a genetic variation. >> exactly. researchers believe varients of the mel no -- the gene that gives you the skin, hair color, eye color.
8:42 am
while brown, blond and black hair dues more mel anyone. and redheads have to sake 20% more local and general anesthetic. >> does that mean they are's a mutation? >> the redheaded mutants, one of your favorite-- >> call it a genetic variation. >> my first girlfriend was a redhead. reich reichmuth. >> she had to go through pain dating me. >> that debunks the theory. rick, what's going on outside. >> some rain moving in across the eastern part of the country and warm temperatures and humid with the rain moving in and with us all day long and dealing with us even into the overnight hours and at some point. a severe weather threat from parts of upstate new york and south carolina, could see a tornado or two in across the northern tier of that and see some hail and wind and wind

>> listen to this outrageous story. this woman was fired and arrested for an alleged affair with a student. this kentucky teacher is now fighting for her reputation and the media blitz helped to get her off the hook. >> let's find out. mercedes collins, criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor remy spencer, hard to get them mixed up. welcome, ladies. thank youments does she have a case here, is she saying she didn't do anything wrong, filing this case, can she get off scott clean in this? >> no, she will not. there's a young taming teenage boy accusing her with charges. the prosecutor is obligated to investigate the charges and determine if they believe there's enough evidence to pursue it. they do believe that they can, they are not sharing the evidence outside the fact that she was text messaging with this young boy, and as they're waiting for a trial until we can see all the proof that they have.
8:54 am
okay, but mercedes, this teacher says all this was-- all there were were rumors and in fact, she tried to get ahead of the rumors, by going to her principal. when she heard the rumors around the halls, see was appalled and says the 16-year-old was talking about her, involved in a sexual relationship with him and went to the principal and said i want to get ahead of this. i don't know this kid. i mean, i know him casually, but no better than anyone else and this never happened. she was fired. there has to be, are there not laws to protect her? >> it's amazing, you're exactly right. she goes ahead of the rumors and tells the principal and suddenly finds herself in a firestorm and she can bring a defamation claims, if these are false charges, extreme false charges and under defamation when you're accused of sex abuse like this, you don't have to prove you've been damaged, of course you're damaged. >> the fact that she pro claims her knowinnocence makes r no difference than any other in cases.
8:55 am

body. and there were multiple false leads and including, do you remember, they found the letters, mss, his nishlinitials scratched in to the walls of the iraqi prison and that was a mislead, and they changed it to missing in action and missing-captured and last year there was a review of the case and the report cited compelling evidence he was probably dead but kept the classification unchanged as missing. >> alisyn: it has been 18 years, his family has been waiting for definitive word and caroline, remind us about scott spiecher and who he was. >> reporter: certainly an american hero, a navy pilot, and like his father be a was married, two children who were toddlers when he crashed and now are college age. >> clayton: wow, obviously his family, probably relieved to have closure after all of these years, caroline shivley live this morning from washington, thanks for that update. >> alisyn: thanks, caroline. here's other headlines, that we are following for you this

the president says and according to david from, president bush's speechwrit speechwriter, it is a verbal tip and we all have them and they are essentially filler while we are thinking about what we wanted to say next. >> alisyn: that is one theory and other communications experts say, no, in fact that is what the president says when he is setting you up to perk up your ears, what he is saying, okay, the next thing i'm about to say is super important. and get your pencils out, there are four different theories of what he is really meaning by "let me be clear." and we have them and the first is pencils up, this is the take away. >> dave: and i think that is the right answer and b is what i've said doesn't mean what you fear it means, and he's clearing things up, for you. and c, i am not going to get rolled on this one, not backing down. >> alisyn: and d, all of the above. >> clayton: i believe when he uses it, it is kind of, off the

>> alisyn: the study unbritain, herbal-life, the direct selling nutrition company, herballife, put 4,000 brits on their health habits from of 60 to 80, and 50-year-olds are healthier and they walk more and 25-year-olds drive places. >> clayton: look at the side by side comparisons, fascinating, the typical 25-year-old consumes 2300 calories a day and exercises three times per week and exercises 3 times per... >> dave: does that add up to six. >> clayton: and also exercise three times per week and the 50-year-old consumes 1990 calories and does at least four forms of exercise and exercises at least 4 times a week. >> alisyn: when get older you loser place and repeat yourself a lot, which is the downside...

concern, it is actuated from the record breaking rain we have seen so far and the flooding and we'll watch a little bit of severe weather throughout the afternoon, especially along the coastal areas. right now, the northeast, starting to see a few storms, and the wind damage already this morning and the flooding, the biggest threat will be across the lower-lying areas, localized flooding in fact flash flooding, and down towards texas and northern areas, rain and the surgeon areas, brownsville and corpus christi, the worst drought we have had going on in the country and unfortunately the rain will die out before it gets there and today, also, a little bit of severe weather in parts of oregon. >> alisyn: thanks, rick, democrats have a new strategy to pass health care reform, blame the insurance industry. are they the real villains here? or a made-up culprit, dick morris is going to be here to give us his take on this.

9:16 am
she even added that they are immoral. fox news contributor dick morris. says this is the third incarnation of obama's health care reform and is here to explain what he means and he is this coauthor of the book "catastrophe." good morning to you, sir. >> good morning. >> dave: why the changing in strategy. >> they started saying it was a program to cover the uninsured and realized only 10% of the country lacks health insurance and then they said this was a program to lower costs and they realized when they are spending a trillion extra dollars over ten years, most people don't believe that, they correctly think it will raise costs and the people said, what is in it for me and they have to choose a villain and they chose the insurance company, like hillary did and there are two major problems with that. the first is the stuff they fight the -- they cite the insurance companies are doing, which is to exclude people
9:17 am
because of preexisting conditions and to turn people down, coverage charging them more when they get sick, both of those have been -- obama raised with the insurance industry when he met with them at the white house and they said they'd stop it and they agreed already and you don't need an overhaul of the health care system to force them to keep their words and the insurance companies endorsed obama's bill, basically, because they want the extra customers that are going to come with everybody getting insurance. but, this attempt to villainize the insurance companies, sure they have been bad in the past and sure they need to be curbed, but, we don't need to destroy the whole health care system in the united states to do it. >> dave: and to sit here and defend the profits they've made, i'm not here to do that, but, in terms of industries and profit margins there are numerous and obviously eight industries that make higher profit margins and there is actually, they went down last year and isn't the problem here that he cannot get
9:18 am
his own part -- pelosi, reid, the president cannot get their own party on board. >> that is true. what you are basically dealing with here, is the people are looking at his bill, and saying, hey, wait a minute, i have insurance and 90% of the country does and i'm happy with the insurance i have and 80% of the people who have insurance are happy with the coverage they get and are also happy with the quality of the medical care they get. so people are saying, what is in the it for me and they are increasingly coming to understand the key point here, which is, how can you cover 50 million new people without extra doctors or nurses? and the answer is, you can't. you are going to have to go to rationing and, in "catastrophe" chapter 5, you should get it to use it as the basis for e-mailing and writing your friends in the legislature. is that it shows the consequences of this kind of rationing. it means the drugs we need to treat colon cancer will be banned in the u.s.
9:19 am
and, 10% more people die of colon cancer, in canada than in the u.s., because of that. >> dave: you talk about the chap and writing and e-mailing your congressmen and what will happen now, that the senate and the house go on recess, what happens next? >> this is the key. this is literally the month in which we need to defend our freedoms. if you want the system of medical care in this country not to be destroyed, this is the month. what you need to do is get a list of all of your friends, christmas cards and lists and colleagues and everything, and e-mail them, the information about health care reform. and then, get them all to write their senators and congressmen and i mean all and i mean handwrite, don't just e-mail. >> dave: action from mr. morris and he's back with us in a moment. cox is now in the business of telling private companies how much it -- are we on the road to socialism here?

>> welcome back, here to the couch and house members voted to limit wall street pay and bonuses to any firm that has more than 1 billion in assets, back with us this morning, is coauthor of the book, "catastrophe" and fox news contributor, dick morris, thanks for coming back with us this morning. >> thank you. >> clayton: the critics say it brings us one step closer to socialism, what do you think about that? >> well, i think the bill has a good part and a bad part. the good part is that it requires the shareholders be consulted, they be permitted to
9:24 am
vote on executive pay compensation packages. and, the federal government has had a long row and positive one in ensuring shareholder democracy. that is what the sec is basically supposed to be about. and i think that is appropriate. i think the problem is, it is supposed to be an advisory vote, the bill calls it an advisory voted and it should be a binding vote. but the other part of the bill is outrageous and says that the federal government would police the pay of large firms, executive compensation, and not because they are getting federal money, whether they get federal money or not. any firm, larger than a billion dollars, in assets, is regulated as to its executive pay and it is none of the government's damn business what a private company pays its employees. it just isn't. >> alisyn: well, but let me tell you what barney frank says, he's this one who passed the legislation in the house and he said by doing this, they'd try to tamp down perverse incentives
9:25 am
were his words whereby people who take the biggest risks with the company's money don't get rewarded with gar tan tune bonuses such as andrew hill who did all of the oil speculation, and in some ways, connected to the dollar per gallon gas, so many people paid last summer, so, when one of these big executives takes a big risk at the end of the day, many over us do end up paying for it, even fit is not in the form of a billout. >>, with the specific example you cite, could be addressed in a totally different way and most of these problems can be. and that is, to ban speculation in oil futures. until 1999, it was not -- we were not permitted to speculated on the futures mark in oil unless you were in the oil industry or used aviation tools, stuff like that. speculators couldn't do it. but after 1999 it was deregulated an speculators were allowed in and, as a result, the am of this futures market
9:26 am
increased by 100-fold. and there are other ways to do that. the federal government should not take -- be in the business of specifying executive compensation. if these guys wanted to be ceos they should have gone into business to do it and they ran for congress and this should be government, not the private sector. >> dave: but, doesn't something have to be done when they -- the attorney general of new york, pointed out 4800 employees of the 9 bailed out banks received bonuses more than a million dollars? doesn't that -- something have to be done. >> of course it does but now you are talk about something different and you are saying companies get federal money. absolutely, if they get federal monday -- >> dave: you a are on board. >> there should be regulations but the bill doesn't say that. companies that even don't have a dime of federal money in them is regulated by the federal government, the federal government wants to -- has a right to regulate any company they are paying for and, by the way they should let the banks repay the t.a.r.p. money rather than forcing them to keep it and keep them under the regulatory
9:27 am
umbrella. >> alisyn: dick, one more second, before aig ever got the bailout, shouldn't somebody have been watching over what they were doing in terms of all of the massive executive compensation and the big bonuses, afterwards, there was so much public outrage, don't we have watch dogs of these companies. >> the public outrage over aig -- the problem with aig before the t.a.r.p. money was paid, is that they invested in ridiculous sums, and derivatives that were -- nobody could understand the market, oil futures, as we talked about, and the whole range of stuff. regulate that. regulate their conduct and what they are allowed to do. don't do it by trying to regulate compensation. that is not -- >> clayton: congress didn't didn't even understand what was happening on wall street and they didn't understand what derivatives were. good luck at having them understand what is going on. >> true, but there is a huge difference between regulating
9:28 am
corporate investment and regulating the ceo's salary. >> clayton: you a are absolutely right. dick morris, the book is "catastrophe" a huge blockbuster of the big hit on "the new york times" best seller list. thank you. >> alisyn: thank you. >> dave: the obama administration may be cracking down on wall street but is putting the pay czar in an awkward position, over whether or not to allow nine figure payout for one particular trader, with strong kicks to the company. >> alisyn: the one we mentioned, andrew hill and plus, sour grapes over very expensive wine. we'll tell you what went down and who made off with the vintage vino. >> ?

9:31 am
>> clayton: welcome, we are following the story, the remains of a first pilot shot down in the gulf war have been found and that is nearly 20 years later. and this morning we're learning more about how marines found the remains of captain scott spie speicher in iraq and we had the story breaking early morning on fox and jennifer tells us on the phone with more, what did you uncover this morning. >> reporter: i got a call early this morning, 6:00 a.m., telling me that the marines in anbar have essentially, based on a tip, they've received an early -- in early july from an iraqi, who had provided good information to them and credible
9:32 am
information to them in the past, they have spent is the last week out in the desert in anbar and have been digging in an area where they came across bone fragment and had sent those bone fragment, flew them back to dover airbase and they were flown to the armed forces institute of pathology in rockville, maryland and just last night, a positive i.d. came through. they had compared the dental records of captain spiecher with the joy been as at the site and made a radiographical identification and now in the next 24 hours, they are getting into more dna tests with families of the captain to be sure, but they can confirm at this point and told the family, in florida, that they found the remains after 18 years and what is amazing is the captain was the first and only casualty on the first night of the gulf war, in 1991. you remember those scenes over baghdad, and the skies lit up
9:33 am
and his plane went down, but, there was a very strange trail in the last 18 years where he within from missing in action to being declared killed in action, to back to being missing -- declared missing in action, because there was the sighting of initials in prison cells that people thought that they had seen the captain after the u.s. forces returned in 2003. and this has been quite some journey for the u.s. navy, for the family of captain spiecher, for service members who never stopped looking for the navy pilot. >> i can't help but think about his children, who were one and three years old, 18 years ago when he went missing, and have you heard from the family. >> caller: we've reached out to them in florida and we are awaiting a statement from them, but, what i do know is the navy, earlier this year, was planning to close the case and the family didn't want that to happen and fought very hard over the years to keep this case open. and on the front burner of -- in
9:34 am
the pentagon and it is just quite something that these marines were out there, at the spot -- i mean, you could imagine what the desert looks like out in anbar and would never be able to retrace your steps and necessarily find where someone was buried. and, in fact, it is interesting to point out, alisyn, that in -- back in the the mid 90s, the international red cross and a team of armed service members went out there, and went to a place where they thought the main plane had gone down and did do digging and couldn't find him at that time but, now, 18 years later, here we are. >> dave: jennifer griffin live with latest breaking details on that, thanks so much for all of the information. >> alisyn: other headlines, what is happening at this hour, the u.s. is troo to win the release of three american tourists who were arrested in years iran, af accidentally entering iranian
9:35 am
territory and the state department is asking switzerland for help with the situation and the country currently represents u.s. interests in tehran and iran's former president calls the trial of 100 prominent protesters, quote, a show. and mohammed khatami says the trials will lead to more distrust of iranian leaders and the protesters are accused of plotting to overthrow the government following the recent continue seniors yell elections. -- controversial elections. and the missing boy, they've kicked up the scent of the boy inside an suv in southwest boise and police started digging in the yard but its not clear if they've found anything significant. the little boy disappeared on july 24th. if you have seen him or have any information regarding his disappearance call the boise police at 208-570-6457. and if you can't remember that, call 911. and boston, looted a $20,000
9:36 am
bottle of wine. >> i don't know how many bottles are left on the face of the earth. >> alisyn: they looted it -- it was actually stolen from a wine -- the wine and spirit shop, you know it well, dick, from living there. dick... they took four very expensive bottles of vino out of the shop and one was a 1945 rothschild, pass the grey poupon, would you? a rare wine made right after world war ii and the owner of the wine store is hoping to catch the thieves before they pop own the bottle and if you know anything about this, send me the bottle! i'll make sure it is in good hands! clay con. >> clayton: i'm on ebay looking for the wine, see if it there is and the company is auctioning off love letters, faxes and phone messages madonna left for a former boyfriend. the love letters, were sent in the early 19 the 90s, and to top

it off, there is a video of madonna, more live coverage, girls gone wild, all expected to bring in $40,000. >> dave: that could buy you two bottles of rothschild wine and think about it. you know how much we love to -- no matter what some people say, these studios get cold, though we have our snuggies, there is something we have been waiting for, for a long time and finally arrived, something all dog loves need, the doggy snuggy, and comes in two colors and fits any of your canine friends and comes in four sizes. and doesn't get any better and i see another "fox & friends" snuggie commercial on the way, though none of us have dog, do we. >> alisyn: no. >> dave: my cat. >> alisyn: there should be a cat snuggie. >> dave: they have the dog running in the grass in the summer in this commercial. >> dave: odd timing for the release of it.
9:38 am
>> alisyn: you know what, it is all-weather, all season snuggies. >> clayton: what is this difference between that and wrapping it in a dish cloth. >> alisyn: fashion! fashion! >> clayton: how about the story, right? we have been talk about executive pay and talked about it with dick morris in the house, and pushing forward the bill, to limited executive pay, for all businesses. making over a billion dollars in assets and not just the ones who had money in the bailout, and turns out, there is a gentleman by the name of mr. andrew hall, who worked with -- contract under citigroup, for a company called hill borrow, a small commodities trading firm in west port, connecticut and he is expected to make over $100 million in payouts, for his executive bonus. >> alisyn: just the bonus, $100 million! you know how many zeros that is! >> dave: a lot! >> alisyn: get me a calculator! >> dave: and this hard to believe part of this is, he's earned it, he's a commodities and energy trader who helped
9:39 am
bring in $2 billion of profits to city group and contractually he's obligated this money and of course the problem is, citigroup has taken 45 billion in bailout funds and the question is, would they have been able to count the -- pay out the bonus if it western for the government money and the answer has to be no. >> clayton: but he'd get it somewhere else and -- >> dave: he's earned it. >> clayton: however what congress and barney frank is arguing, i can't believe i'm quoting him, they are saying, it is because of the risky behavior, what he was involved in, specifically, you know, betting against energy speculation, and, people also using derivatives, to make money, so the very risky behavior, of which he was involved, is what got us into the mess in the first place. >> dave: risky but completely legal and part of our market, whether we like it or not, and you hate the practice but it is in fact legal. >> alisyn: he's a very complicated case because dave said he is considered top talent
9:40 am
and measurably brought in big money to citigroup but he did spearhead the oil speculation and according to the article, it reports if you paid $4 a gallon last summer, at the pump, remember when prices spiked, it is in direct connection to what andrew hall did by speculating in all of the oil markets and he wins, when the oil prices go up and we all in some way paid his bonus, already, last summer and the czar of executive pay has a big decision to make in the next few weeks about whether or not andrew hall is going to get that $100 million. contract-schmontract, times have changed. >> dave: maybe the contracts should be void when in fact you take bailout money. >> clayton: e-mail us and i put on twitter a few minutes ago, clayton morris, twitter, put tlup, auto tuning the news clips in their entirety which you can enjoy and what is auto tuning the news, this is a software

steals something you have to let them go unless you site unfolding because safety is an issue here and you take that at face value, what they are saying, safety was the main concern as to why you lost your job? >> caller: not really, because in all actuality, i mean, some people are sensationalizing it saying women and children could have been shot and the guy had a 45 second lead on me and there was nobody else around but me and him in a field and i never touched him and i stayed behind and actually was able to call the customer to have them call 911 back to give the police the actual location where he was running to, so we could catch him and if that didn't happen he would have gotten away. >> clayton: thanks to ann and troy and troy, i know there -- i don't know if there is a silver message but you have a special message. >> caller: i appreciate you guys let meeting do this. my mother passed away six years ago, on august 14th and me and my wife got married on the same day to honor her memory and right now, it is official ale, we will probably not have much of an anniversary but i wanted
