7:02 am
there are reviewing the tide and current information. they want to pull the helicopter up and presumably with the bodies of some of the victims likely strapped inside. investigators continue to talk with witnesses who had the unfortunate front row seat to the disaster yesterday walking and jogging along the riverfront. early information is helping investigators go through the accident sequence that of the ntsb. we have an update moments ago been talking about what they will work with them trying to find pieces of the small aircraft. they still have not officially located at. they thought they might know where it is but right now they're going back down with sonar devices trying to find the other craft. as we talk about the investigation moving forward, and tsp teams said they were at teterboro last night electing radar information, flight plans, and interviewing everyone at the airport were the small plane took off yesterday afternoon
7:03 am
before hitting a chopper in the air over the hudson river. it's obviously a very big part of their investigation. they want as much information from the people who were there as they can. also looking for debris here in hoboken on the new jersey side of the hudson river. you probably saw the tire that bounced off until on the frank sinatra dr. here. a lot of people in this area have been asked to call investigators or authorities if they see something -- don't touch it but let them know if they find anything that can help investigation. >> alysin: it sounds like investigators are trying in on what they think caused it. we know there were clear skies, ascribe this ideal flying conditions, so they think it's just an overcrowded airway? immaculata witnesses we talked to yesterday, alysin, said they infected mouse it seemed very congested just before and those amazing photos exclusive to "fox news" show those two aircraft were close together.
7:04 am
said the reason she was painting her camera towards those two crabs in the skies is because she thought they were so unusually close together. there is a lot going on about that. of course investigation into the rules and regulations as to how the small aircraft and pilots, the tour helicopter pilots how don't have to be under a restriction on the same frequency. we know a doctor pilot on the ground that work for liberty tourist or the helicopter had just come from notice there was something going on the air, try to radio the helicopter pilot, did not get the message to him before it is too late. >> alysin: or angle like a missing. thanks so much. >> it just turns your stomach to see those pictures heading straight down knowing the there are families in those planes as we see that. >> dave: you wonder if the faa will step in and find way to monitor the skies under new york under 1000 feet in the air traffic control the traffic you can only imagine how many tour

7:06 am
north koreans asked for bill clinton. they said if you can get bill clinton here, we will agree to release these hostages. you wonder if this was the plan all along. >> alysin: according to the sunday times of london this another missionary christian was detained along the north korea -chinese border and when he was handed up getting out but he was warned that north korea was looking to get a foreign prize, a foreign journalist somehow, and we know on march 17 when the two ladies were stopped there on me to mendel rivers, it was frozen, and they were with us chinese-korean guide others as well as another tv producer, an older man, a tv producer who got away. again i think the guide may have been an inside deal to position them in exactly the right place so north korea could get this party. >> clayton: this party so what is the payoff is to market elevates them on the world stage.

but are the objectors that show up at these meetings really angry mobs that the democrats are portraying them as. >> clayton: ralph reed is a republican strategist and chairman of the faith and freedom coalition. he joins us to talk about this and other stuff. good morning, ralph. >> good to be with you. >> clayton: you know the allegations as morning. the new york times saying the democrats are pointing out these town hall meetings -- they allege anyway these town hall meeting's are being orchestrated by lobbyists of the republican party. these are not real americans are the outraged but that these are somehow being harvested by the republicans. any truth to that? >> what it really does is give you insight into the mindset of the obama white house and the national democratic party if they confuse spontaneous combustion of citizen activism and massive protests about government-run top-down one-size-fits-all health care
7:18 am
with something that's orchestrated. now look, there are some national organizations out there including the faith and freedom coalition that are encouraging people to go to these town hall meeting's. we would frankly be doing that as standard operating procedure whether there was a health-care bill or not. that's something you always do during august recess to go to these town hall meeting's. so i think the obama administration is confusing democracy with something that they consider to be evil. >> dave: i want to ask you, ralph, do you think these have been effective? these protesters, in terms of getting out the message, furthering this debate, whether it was st. louis, tampa bay, yesterday in des moines, are they effective russian ark. >> we always encourage our activists to be civil, to be respectful, and to make there point in a cogent and persuasive way. that's what i would encourage. but i got to tell you when you
7:19 am
have people from sei you, the labor unions, moveon and other organizations that are showing up to try to intimidate grass-roots citizens, and then you have these shoving matches and so forth, it's unfortunate. everybody loses. but this is the bottom line. if you look at the rasmussen survey that just came out this past week, yet 85% of the american people will already have health insurance. if you take out younger people who have not yet entered the job market and are about to get health insurance, well over 90% of the american people are to have healthcare. 68% of all voters are happy with their current health-care plan. so rock obama's rob them isn't citizens showing up at town hall meetings, it's the fact that the american people don't want his healthcare plan, and this thing is that mackerel in the moonlight and it stinks to high heaven additional month of perfume you can put on it that will sell it. >> clayton: thank you ralph reed. to be fair and balanced a recent

7:32 am
think is the rotor kind of slowed down if it be helicopter, not pieces off the back of the helicopter and three paces trailing smoke also into the river with the main cockpit area just doing a nose dive right into the river from the height of like the empire state building. >> clayton: for those of us who weren't there and we can only see the stitchers, was the helicopter just sort of floating there in the airplane came out of nowhere? >> i didn't even see the airplane. i was on the west side and i think the airplane came from the east or from that area. i didn't really see that vantage point. i just saw what looked like the helicopter is integrating in midair. >> dave: some disintegrating there was almost a movie scene shot because it's a common scene about new york city. at what point did you realize what you just witnessed?
7:33 am
>> quickly, it was like oh my god this can't be real. it was just amazing. it unfolded right in front of my face. i hung up the phone and called 911 at 11:53 am right after it happened. i ran into my dog and we ran right down to the park. >> alysin: we're just learning just how crowded that particular corridor is over the hudson. many people did not realize until today that it is unregulated airspace and there are all of these two are helicopters, this one that went down had five battalions were stunned board. do you see close calls us to mark you see how crowded it is? >> i don't see" but there was a lot of traffic and i noticed that and if i commented to my friends. i don't normally see small aircraft. it's usually large aircraft, crucial airlines, not like small planes and personal claim to be in that area i think that would be strange. >> clayton: what was the response time calling 911 if you called 911 what was the convergence of rescue.
7:34 am
>> by the time i got onto the point everyone was just arriving, dive teams, police, people from the different units, hoboken police raided a handled it great. it was very controlled. >> alysin: now knowing that we know more about the victims -- >> very sad. very sad. i felt like i watched it on watching people die because there's no way that they couldn't survive -- someone could have survived the lashing of the rotors on the helicopter, breaking it up. i can't even imagine what was going on in the cockpit. >> dave: i can't even imagine witnessing a scene of this gravity. so sad. thanks for being here and telling us what happened to make thank you. >> alysin: lets go out to wreck, and see how the weather is shaping up around the country. >> rick: we have a hurricane to talk about, it's felicia, look at the satellite picture gets 670 miles east of key local ip which is on the island.
7:35 am
the storm continues to pull to the west northwest. it'll continue to weaken. it was a 140-mile sustained winds on sunday. it will probably get onto a 40 mph sustained winds down before it makes -- at least interacts with the islands. it will bring some heavy rain starting around tomorrow and then through the day tuesday and wednesday. back mainland though, we have her warm temperatures to deal with it some of the warmest temperatures of the summer. you can see a warm morning across the eastern two thirds of the country. the satellite radar picture shows exactly where the front is drawn, and that is right across parts of the great lakes and in towards the northeast. that's a warm front will continue to go up towards the north. today we will see showers but anywhere to the south of atlanta storms is just hot and it's extremely humid and muggy and very uncomfortable. out towards the west we have another storm that's brewing. it will bring severe weather this morning across areas of nebraska in towards iowa over
7:36 am
the next couple hours. this afternoon it will require across parts of kansas and eastern colorado. past that, everywhere else in the west looks extremely dry. in fact beat monsoonal flow has now dropped to the four corners remained greater as well. the high temperatures today that he is in parts of the central areas of the country. over towards the nations capital, chicago qr at 92 but with the humidity will fill around 105. run the heat sides farther to the east and will see triple digit readings across the atlantic seaboard with new york getting about 90 for the first time since april. it's hard to believe we're in august and we haven't seen the 90s since april but they'll be back. 107 for the high tomorrow in phoenix. very comfortable 71 in seattle. >> clayton: here's a good question for you. how do you like to go to school and not have to do any homework? i wish i could dainus it would be a dream come true. i wish this would've unfolded but it's unfolding right now in baton rouge, louisiana.
7:37 am
one school plans to get rid of homework because i want students to spend more quality time with her family. brilliant steve ivy school in denham springs testing on a new plan. they'll have limited homework and spelling and vocabulary but no big projects, no big assignments. the principal wants to test the snow homered policy out, see how it affects their test which are the l. adp test and if it works it will be a permanent policy. you impact the madness the one i'm living proof. >> clayton: how did this happen? >> alysin: from fifth grade to eighth grade i went to a school that didn't believe in doing homework. we did our work at school then went home and did our own projects and ran around and rode our bikes and ate dinner with our families. talked on the phone or whatever we wanted to do. i love this idea in part. because i think homework has gotten out of hand. you know kids are doing five hours of homework a night. you hear these reports from parents. they come right home from school
7:38 am
to have to buckle down and get right to homework. sometimes you can eat dinner with your family and it's taking a large chunk of family time. having said that, if kids are just like the home and watch tv, i occasionally do that from time to time for a long stretches in afternoon, then it would be better if they were doing something more focused. it could go either way. >> clayton: i was in my persons i didn't mind doing stuff at night. but when you leave at three in the afternoon who were lost from home when your friends are outside playing basketball or whatever and you don't want to sit there for hours doing his homework. i think the whole structure needs to change. perhaps this is a movement toward that. the way kids are kept from attracting with each other, they're not able to socialize with any two, they found two students that students who collaborate on projects their test scores skyrocket, iq points out because of collaboration think this is a taboo suing you
7:39 am
to focus. >> dave: i need that homework and we're falling behind internationally academically. this country is falling way behind. i don't think it's time to say no homework. don't get me wrong, i would've loved as a kid i just don't think we can do that at a time. may be permitted to not the score and five hours a night but no homework can imagine that. >> clayton: take homework out of it. what about summer school? malcolm gladwell points out because america doesn't have summer school, we fall simply behind other countries because they are there studying throughout those very important months, those four months. >> dave: you gone too far. i will do the homework topic of my summer. >> alysin: i think. >> dave: you hit a key point which is a lot of these kids will end up watching more tv and playing more video games. i'm guessing most of these kids will have a medic increase in family time. i wish that was the case 211 mom and articles that i don't know that i'm prepared to come home
7:40 am
and keep my child occupied for the next four hours by myself. >> clayton: it's a treat for them to do what has to be a happy medium. that's the answer. would love to hear if your child has too much or too little mark sending it to the blog. >> clayton: will review is coming up later. >> dave: let's talk "american idol." we talked earlier about paula abdul. she is rude to be heading to dance with the stars or you think you can dance. >> clayton: dancing with the stars. >> dave: i watch that a few times. the question of iran's mind is who will replace paula abdul. there's some interesting speculation out there. posh spice, david beckham's wife he wanted she speak russian mark. >> clayton: she opposes. >> dave: she rarely smiles, it's usually that. she shows up at hollywood parties see one i hope she feels and because i can't wait to hear her speak. >> dave: to sign in. she's not necessarily getting
7:41 am
the gig. >> clayton: let's look at the list. there are a number of people who could possibly fill in some of which i'm sure alysin would get behind. debbie gibson, she changed her name to deborah. >> dave: she would do a good job, feel that 80s boy. >> clayton: what about fergie. >> dave: ferdy has to much going on. she's all set. >> alysin: she got married. >> clayton: the black eyed peas have a new album out. >> clayton: she is widely she would criticize anybody.
7:42 am
however paula does the same thing see one politic it's for that. >> dave: with dolly, excuse me feel that young boy that will. with young people. do they know who dolly pardon is question mark. >> alysin: she is universal. they need to learn i'm not recommending homework for all of the kids at home. listen to a dolly parton song today. but she is my first choice. they all say once the funniest bob wonderful odyssey read kelly clarkson? how about that idea to try to much going on. >> clayton: let us know we have a "fox news" alert where stand top of this morning. an earthquake hits hotel, japan. we have details about that major earthquakes to head. >> alysin: marriage can be hard as we all know. how you get the spark back in your relationship if you have children in particular. the advice can change your life and that's next.

tender and loving manner, you really think god that you have that person in your life you can't wait to hold them, to touch them tenderly and/or lustily. >> alysin: here is what people do talk about all the time, and that is the exhaustion. the exhaustion of the schedule of raising young children that by the time you fall into bed at night you are just too tired for anything else. so you say one of the first tips people should do if they feel this way is make a return appointment for intimacy. yes, thatiuv sounds sexy. >> dave: that sounds hot tobacco folks, yes, britain is hot. the reason why britain is hot is because verbal goes by the wayside so often. on the way about tuesday at 8:13 pm. that gets lost in all that exhaustion and all that work-family juggling that takes place. when you write something in your daily planner, when you write something in an e-mail that is

>> clayton: welcome back to "fox & friends." ministers to her are all there to discuss economic recovery drug to globe. >> alysin: listen to this heartbreaking story. two years ago this beautiful little boy lamb who you are about to see was abducted by his mother. there he is. she took him to delay her home country where the courts later decided she was a danger to him. beyond was then placed in an italian orphanage. his mother is now on the run but
7:55 am
his american father who was awarded sole custody of him has been trying desperately to get him back. and joining me now is liam's dad michael mccarty and his attorney, philip segal. john, thanks for being here and thank you do and tell us what happened on march 5, 2007 whackos on my way to pick up liam from kindergarten at ps 41 here in manhattan and i received a phone call that had been kidnapped and taken to italy and was being held at an undisclosed location. i was devastated and i spent the next two years trying to reunite and get in touch with him. i basically meant roadblocks at every step of the way, and even when i found out where he was through italian social services, i was initially denied all contact with them, even phone calls, presents, guess i would send.
7:56 am
>> alysin: you are awarded sole custody of her son, liam, because your ex-wife was found to be mentally unstable. in fact the court believes that she suffers from much else and by proxy syndrome. what is that? >> i'm not a clinician but as i understand it, my chosen by proxy is one a parent will inflict harm or damage onto a child as a means of attracting attention to themselves. it is in fact considered a very, very severe form of child abuse, and there are some famous cases that have ended very tragically. >> alysin: as a result of her behavior, but courts in italy took liam away from your ex-wife but unbelievably instead of sending him back home to you, who had sole custody of him, a loving father, they put him in an italian orphanage. why won't the orphanage release into you. >> the orphanage is the place that's holding him. the issue is really with the italian judicial system and
7:57 am
italian social services, and it is just a completely illogical system. there is court after court, they don't speak to each other. you can't get anything accomplished there. and they just simply will not honor the orders of u.s. courts in relation to me. >> alysin: how is any of this legal to make it illegal and outrageous. it's on findings that liam's mom was unstable and unfit, michael was awarded permanent custody. under international law, italy is absolutely obligated to enforce that order. but a blatant violation of international law they refused to do so. >> alysin: you have traveled to italy to see them in the orphanage. what are these visits like russian or. >> they're very, very difficult. it's usually enough social services firm which is exactly like you might imagine it. it is a desk, a few chairs, chorus and lights, dirty tile floors.
7:58 am
there are a few people standing there observing. there are video cameras and under these conditions, liam and i are supposed to somehow naturally rebuild our relationship. the very first time i saw him after two years, it was a brief encounter, he saw me, big smile and was kind of waste away. initially the visits were not too bad and i had hoped that working within the system i might be able to get him but he has really deteriorated through one unfortunately we're out of time but i want to direct our audience to your website you just set up called save liam.org and i know after two years of trying to work through the proper channels, the proper diplomatic channels and everything, you now want any help that you can possibly get in getting them back to you and hopefully we will be able to provide some of that to you. life on the clarity keep us posted on what happens. it's your segal beckett for

8:14 am
are alleging out specifically that republicans are rolling out lobbying groups to plant people at these events, and to disrupt these events. he wanted with senator tom harkin of iowa, who said that at a town hall meeting this weekend, that got quite heated. so we have congressman joseph stack a democrat, he will come on to tell us why it's a good thing, next. so what do you think?

>> alisyn: the health care battle is heating up in the keystone state. protesters made their voices heard at a town hall last week, held by senator arlen spector and health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius, and should democrats hold the town hall meetings? are they helping or hurting their cause. >> joe sestak plans to challenge senator specter for his seat in the upcoming elections, good morning to you, congressman. >> good morning, good to be here. >> clayton: first we asked in the intro, are we being constructive in these town hall debates with all of the dwup disruptions we are seeing, are we getting anything accomplished and furthering the discussion
8:18 am
and that is why we are seeing democrats scared or cancelling these town hall debates? >> i've only been in politics three years and we added in a new town hall this wednesday here in center town, downtown, philadelphia, at the broad street ministry at 6:30 wednesday night and i had my first last saturday ther day after we got out from congress. and that one brought about 300 people together and it was very harsh at times with the comments, but, i think this is a necessary debate. first, i'm a public servant and i work for these people and second, people have a high level of anxiety. how can they not, they are in a savaging recession and third, i don't think we have done an adequate enough job of explaining the goodness of the bill and i like these town halls and i cherish them, actually. >> dave: why do you think the disparate between the protesters portrayed as an angry mob and the congressmen in some cases being labeled as almost victims in this case sma why the strange
8:19 am
disparity between the two groups. >> i think because people were shocked initially at the harshness of the outbursts but i have been very fortunate, in july, i took a trip to all 67 counties, at pennsylvania, and just prior to getting in the race against arlen specter and i saw even among democrats a very high level of anxiety. and, again, i think it is because down in washington, d.c., we tend to think, well, if we're talking to one another it must be all right. this is why it is important to have these. people are upset. some of them come together a little bit more organized than elsewhere, sure but that is america. and, these types of debates have happened before. this bill is so important to the future, that we should be having tough debates and everyone should be out there, asking to do town halls not backing down. >> alisyn: how organized an effort do you think this is, because senator tom harkin of iowa said yesterday he thinks
8:20 am
the outrage is being organized, on some level by republican groups, do you agree? >> i -- there is some organizationization but on the whole, i think this is both democrats and republicans, who have justified questions and want to know what is going on. >> clayton: representative sestak in the great city of philadelphia. always nice see you. >> good to be back, thank you. >> dave: coming up new numbers on women in the workplace. details on how females at the top of corporate ladders could be hurting the bottom line. we will have a fiery debate, straight ahead. this is my verizon small business specialist, tom. now, i know the catering business but when i walked in here i wasn't sure what i needed. i'm not sure what i need. tom showed me how to use mifi to get my whole team working online, on location. i was like, "woah". woah !

only verizon wireless has small business specialists in every store to help you do business better. you're like my secret ingredient. come in today and connect up to five devices on one 3g connection. now only $99.99 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. (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.
8:22 am
8:23 am
8:24 am
the journal of financial economics suggestion that companies with women on their boards of directors actually make less money than companies with men in those positions. and are females really bad for the bottom line? or is this study purely sexist? here to debate the issue is mark rudolph of no nonsense man.com and author of bounce back book, and karen salmonson a career coach is joining us as well. continues, and i heard trash talking earlier and you say mark is going down. >> he's going down. >> clayton: carol, i'll start with you and the study was published this week and studied 87,000 different boards. and they found that women according to the study could hurt the bottom line. what do you say. >> if you look at the study it says women are superior at executive managing and monitoring. and, it only applied to companies that were seen as well governed. well, enron, at first was seen as a well governed company and they could have been benefitted from the a little bit of executive monitoring, and
8:25 am
management, so, women, a little affirmative action on the board of enron might have helped shareholders save billions of dollars and also, if lehman brothers had been lehman sisters, we might have prevented the crash of 2008. >> clayton: i would love to know mark your side of this, which is what karen is saying, there is too much controlling going on and women are controlling in the boardroom but that is a good thing and are men being lax and what led to the problems at sfloobs i never heard controlling women is a good thing for anybody. when you replace -- >> i never heard controlling women is a good thing for anybody, and it is interesting, that karen keeps saying women are nurturing and women bring 70% of divorces. they are not so easy to get along with. and, the boardroom doesn't have a pink carpet and is no place for quotas and affirmative action. the study is based on the proposition that a lot of women are getting into the board rooms
8:26 am
because of affirmative action and quotas and they are not earning their way into it. when you have 60% of undergraduate degrees going to women and more than 50% of mbas going to women if they cannot get into the boardroom on merit an competitive skills they are unqualified to be there. >> i love you keep saying that. mark i thank you for keep -- >> the boardroom -- >> hold on mark, let's have some affirmative action here and -- >> i want to challenge that. >> hold on one second. >> that is really what is going on. >> karen? >> i think that when adds every time mark says women are 60% of the graduating classes, of advanced degrees, and owl the wonderful things you say about women and yet they are not fully represented in companies, the recent fortune 500 list, only 2.5% of the ceos are women. i don't want affirmative action, either but until we are evolved enough to let women, who have the talent, have the brains get in charge and when women are
8:27 am
represented, look at companies like wal-mart, and best buy and capital one, they all have more women representative of their boards and are doing fabulously. >> here's what i say, here's what i say, there is no such thing as representation, you have to earn your way to the top. you have to claw your way to the top, it doesn't just get handed to you and -- >> and the study was written -- >> wait main, just because of 60% of undergraduate degrees go to women doesn't mean that 60% of the board should be female. >> clayton: we have to end it there -- >> it doesn't matter. >> clayton: hold on, breaking news right now -- mark, we have to kurt mic unfortunately. >> chairman of your own company. >> clayton: breaking news, we have been following the story in the hudson river this morning and we have to take you there live, debris has been recovered as crews are now pulling a body out of the river and maybe one of those nine people dead, we'll be right back with eyewitness testimony from people who watched this unfold.
8:28 am
8:30 am
>> alisyn: welcome back a "fox news alert" for you right now, because we have been monitoring the situation down in the hudson river and there had been debris and possibly a body that has just been pulled from the river moments ago. this after yesterday's mid-air collision, that left nine people dead, recovery teams are scouring the hudson river, at
8:31 am
this hour and we have been told they have a two hour window from 8:00 a.m. eastern to 10:00 a.m. eastern to do the best work before the river gets too murky for them to do anything and laura ingle is down at the scene with what is happening here. what have you seen happen the last few moments, laura. >> reporter: hi, alisyn, we have been watching the divers the last 30 minutes go into the water from the rubber raft and keep going over to the buoys where the helicopter is down below and how they are marking where the helicopter is, and the divers have been going down and we know they were down there to feel around and moment ago, we did see a body come up out of the water and i will not have them push in, it is pretty graphic but what i can describe to you is a body being pulled -- part of a body being pulled onto the side of the raft and pulled out one of those wire baskets as soon as we saw them struggling with the weight of something coming out of the water and a body bag nearby and the boat and
8:32 am
divers are trying to shield our cameras and doing it on the other side of the boat, but we did see at least part of what just happened and just before part of the body or the body was removed from the water, there was debris that was seen pulled out of the water as well, taken into the boat and on the back side of the main new york police boat, the blue and white one is a staging area and they are bringing the debris and anything they find there and as you said we talked to a river expert at stevens institute, who is helping to guide these divers today, in the operation, and they've got about two hours, that are ideal conditions, to get down there and do their best to both recover the bodies and get the helicopter up, the helicopter is top-heavy, the engine apparently was on the top, how they are built and believe it is upside-down, in the silt and there will be a sucks problem a current problem and now a weather problem, starting to rain and fear there could be thunderstorms which could mean lightning and can
8:33 am
deal with the rain and can't deem with lightning and so, a very tedious underway, working as as they can and have to keep the divers safe and the current is strong and can't see and have to do it all by feeling around on the bottom of the hudson and they are looking for the small aircraft down there as well and we'll bring you more development as we get them as the operation moves forward. back to you. >> dave: as we rewind to last night the accident itself, is there talk this morning about the lack of regulation and lack of an air traffic controller to regulate these types of flights above new york city. >> reporter: you bet, a lot of questions being asked, when we got here first daylight, ntsb investigators said that is something they are looking at and went to teterboro last night to talk to everybody at the airport before the small aircraft took off to find out exactly what the flight plan was and look at the radar maps and everything that was recorded
8:34 am
when the plan took off to talk about the condition of the pilot. and, they are certainly looking at, you know, his record, his or her record, and about what type of rest that person may have had and they are looking at that and also talking about the regulation and they say, look, if we get into this operation, and we realize that there is something that needs to be changed immediately, they certainly have the power to issue an urgent change the way the flight patterns out here happen and obviously as we have talked out over the last 24 hours is a busy piece of aerospace over the hudson river and are taking close an careful consideration looking at a and talking to liberty tour the helicopter operator -- >> clayton: laura ingle gathering all the latest development on "fox and friends" this morning, thanks, laura. >> alisyn: so tragic when you think about those five italian tourists going out for a beautiful day, the weather was perfect, perfect flying conditions and were going tor a little hour-long tour over -- >> clayton: see new york city for the first time. >> alisyn: to see new york city and of course the otheral fa in
8:35 am
the sma-- family in the small plane, they were going to pick up another child at summer camp and where it ended tragically and the next hour-and-a-half are critical down at the scene and we'll keep you posted on what is happening this morning. >> clayton: and following that story and also this major story, powerful earthquake rocking tokyo and rick reichmuth has details on weather's role, 7.1 magnitude, we are hearing. >> rick: not right in tokyo, though, as you move forward on the map you can see, where japan is, and the earthquake was located about 220 miles to the south-southwest of tokyo. as move forward, dave, for me, it was located under water. which means you do potentially see the threat for a tsunami but all of the agencies have gone in and looked and rule out any threat for a tsunami anywhere and that is good news and certainly for hawaii and especially across parts of the western coast of the u.s. nonetheless, certainly, will effects on land and we'll see
8:36 am
those images coming in, certainly shortly and the other story we're following in the pacific is for hawaii, a hurricane and it is hurricane felicia, and around 600 miles to the east of the hawaiian islands now and headed towards the hawaiian islands and will not be a major factor, i don't think, and the storm will probably weaken to around a minimal tropical storm by the time it makes landfall around maui or the big island and the other story across the u.s., certainly the warm temperatures for the day today, and as laura has been reporting from hudson river, the rain potentially across parts of the northeast, think the thunderstorms for the northeast will hold off until later on this afternoon. this morning, we are dealing with spotty showers, across the area. and that not cause anticipate problems and here's your temperatures waking up, the satellite/radar image shows the showers moving around parts of the northeast and the heavier showers and maybe thunderstorms have been around parts of new jersey, and pennsylvania, this morning. but this afternoon, it will heat up and we'll see some of those thunderstorms firing, the other story is also brewing out across
8:37 am
areas of nebraska, and this afternoon, will be across parts of colorado and kansas, more thunderstorms firing once again. areas of the four corners remaining dry, the pacific northwest, dry and certainly much cooler than you have been been, guys, back to you guys. >> clayton: thank you, rick, get back in here, this is my favorite time of the year, back-to-school and the gadgets i wish -- i don't have kids and they don't have to hang around me anymore and this is the time of year i wish i could have had the gadgets going back to school and compiled my five favorites and you know you are in class and college and wanted to take notes? asis has a t-190 tablet and looks like a general laptop, like something you want to put into your purse but it's the first touch-screen tablet that is affordable and you flip it around and pull it down and use to it take notes like on a normal pad of paper. >> alisyn: with your penmanship, write on here. >> clayton: pull out the stylus and has the drop down menu and

8:46 am
>> good morning. >> alisyn: libbey, let me start with you, what happened in 2006 right before -- two years, i should say before the birth of your second daughter, hannah? >> correct. it was not long after the birth of my first child that i found out that i needed to have a double mastectomy and so i did that, and, then proceeded to have the second child, that you mentioned. >> alisyn: you were unable to breast feed your second child, hannah and you had to feed her form l.a. it wasn't your first choice but, obviously, that is what you had to do and then you learned that formula is not a deductible expense with the irs, give me some examples of other medical things that are. >> well, there are things that you can duct such as foot pads or sunscreen or viagra or prescription sunglasses, so, it seemed to make sense that this would be sun of those similar type of items.
8:47 am
>> alisyn: of course and yet, dan, what is this irs's justification why form lace not a deductible expense? >> the irs says that formula is food and therefore should never be deductible. but, of course, formula is substituting for breast milk, so the only substance that one human being provides, creates, to nourish another human being. and, formula is so regulated as a substance, that it is more akin to producing medicine than it is to producing food. the government highly regulates its manufacture and i think to some degree formula is being penalized for being a substance that is very old, it predates the fda, and it is very easy to manufacture, and if a woman in libbey's situation could swallow a pill and drink the liquid and have it come out of her nipple we would not be here talking to you. the irs is penalizing formula in this case unfairly.
8:48 am
>> alisyn: when you found out the irs does not allow you to deduct formula, what you needed to give your child in her first year of life, what did you do? >> well, i think we tried to see if there was some action we could take to remedy the situation, and i would certainly defer to dan to talk about some of the things we've done because he took that trip to talk to the irs about this. >> alisyn: dan, so what did you -- what was your argument to them. >> i decided to really put my money where my mouth was. it wasn't would yabout getting money for me and libbey, but it was wrong and would affect families done the road from us and i made the appropriate filing with the irs, i'm an attorney by training and a friend from law school was good enough to do this pro bono to represent us, pro bono and we went to the irs and made a falling and said you allow people t take all kinds of
8:49 am
deductions and to modify cars if they are an amputee to pay for that, why wouldn't you in this case allow a mother who doesn't have breast tissue to deduct the cost of infant formula and the irs ruled and they ruled against us and said, we hear your argument, we don't care, formula is food and should never be deductible, go ahead and deduct as many dr. shuttle foot padsch and we have a bill pending before congress now. >> henry waxman wrote alert to the irs on your behalf, supporting your position, and what do you think will become of this bill? >> well, we have hr-3445 pending. it is in the ways & means committee, thanks to congresswoman debbie wasserman-schultz, and kendrick meek, a member of the committee is the original cosponsor and we have had outreach to a bunch of senator including schumer, and
8:50 am
kennedy and lisa murkowski from alaska and we are hopeful congress will see the wisdom of this and pass it. >> alisyn: best of luck -- >> the only person -- >> alisyn: go ahead, dan. >> the only people who have seemed against the argument are bureaucrats at the irs. >> alisyn: best of luck to you, because as you have pointed out, so articulately, dr. scholl's foot pads, sunscreen and prescription glasses are all doi deductible and something your child needs to survive for the first year of her life is not and please keep us posted on what happens with the bill and best of luck. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> alisyn: coming up, we need to update you on the top story that we are following, and that is, out of the crash site, in the hudson river, of these two small aircraft yesterday. another body has just been recovered, from the river. we'll be right back after this break. welcome to the now network. right now

9:03 am
operate safely under water and the currents are going to pick up and the tide is going to change and will make things a lot more difficult for these divers and divers can work through the rain but not with lightning and a storm is rolling in but they have to move fast an safely, as you heard a new york city mayor, michael bloomberg say yesterday, nobody wants to make the situation worse, and by making it more dangerous for the divers and are doing the best they can and the other thing that happened this morning we want to tell you is ntsb investigators on the scene told us they continue to talk with witnesses who are absolutely critical and help keeping -- to piece together the sequence of events before the small plane and helicopter collided in the hudson and want people to come forward with more videos and pictures to establish the timeline, back to you. >> alisyn: we have three of those people here with us now on the couch, in fact those exclusive photos that you have been looking at, the dramatic ones, of the crash actually happening, we have the taker of those photos with us, sonia, and

the woman who took the photos, joined by her mother and her son, thanks for being here and let me start with you, son yeah. what was happening, you were out near the hudson river and... what was your day like and what did you start seeing. >> we are here on a trip new york city and on this circle line cruise, 75 minute cruise to take a view of the statue of liberty and we had seen the statue of liberty and we were coming back, and we were getting ready to dock and i saw these two -- these two things in the air, right, because we had been seeing lots of planes and helicopters and some were flying close together and i noticed them coming pretty close together and want to get a shot with them of them in the same picture and that is whys i was getting my camera ready and wanted to take a picture of the two in the same photo and ended up taking a pastor of the crash. >> clayton: what did you see as sonia was using the camera, what did you see as it unfolded. >> she told me, i want the both
9:05 am
of this the helicopter and the airplane and then, she was she went to have a shot and then, we saw that... going together and there was a blast, one blast up under it and then, we were stunned, what is happening? and the other blast was, something came on the water, you know and everybody heard and everybody started moving, because to see what is happening and... >> and your mom is matching it through the camera lens and you are tit ssitting there with you eyes. what do you sfleeb i remember she pointed out the plane and helicopter were coming close together and so i was looking and the plane came over the helicopter, and it looked like it hit this wing and the wing fell off and, it is hard to tell because it was all happening so fast and next thing you know, they hit the water. >> dave: did you think it was real. >> no, actually at first i
9:06 am
thought maybe it was from a movie or something, lots of movies are being shot around new york, at least that is what we have been told. so... >> clayton: the pictures are remarkable and i mean, steady hand and watching it unfold and if i am there with a camera i don't know i am taking photos, how did you keep your eye on what you were doing taking the series of photos over the course of the next few minutes? >> it was just being focused on that. i love to take pictures. and i have been taking lots of pictures of your city. and i just, you know, it was... it was surreal and didn't feel like it was an actual accident and there were people in the helicopter, and at that time it was just something like, like are watching a movie and take pictures of something happening. and it wasn't until it hit the water, that i realize, my god, this -- there were people up there, and this is a real tragedy. >> alisyn: we know there were five italian tourists, they had just gotten to new york. they were taking an hour tour, via helicopter around to see the skyline and then in the other, smaller plane, was a father and
9:07 am
his young son, going to pick up his other son, at summer camp, what happened after you took all of the pictures? what was the scene like there? >> well, there was shock because people couldn't believe it. there was sadness as well and there were people crying on the boat. we were on the circle line and there were 600 people on that boat and it was just, you know, just a lot of shock. it was surprising and also, the other interesting, you know, twist of fate is this when we had come to new york city, we planned what package tour we were going to go with and actually planned to take' package that had a helicopter ride. and at the last minute, we decided that, you know, let's just -- seemed a lot of money for 10 minutes in the air, let's put it towards nice restaurants in your city and we decided not to go up and that could have been us. >> dave: amazing photographs. your son, and mom, thank you all for being here and retelling the story that you witnessed yesterday. thank you. >> thank you. >> clayton: thank you. >> alisyn: meanwhile, another
9:08 am
top story, president obama is getting ready to leave for guadalajara, mexico this morning and visiting at a time when they are facing a troubling economy and violent crime wave and joining us is fox news's correspondent steve harrigan. hey, steve, what is happening there today? >> reporter: alisyn, when president obama lands this afternoon in guadalajara he'll land in a nation that is at war, the numbers are staggering over the past 48 hours, 25 more mexicans have been killed and over the past year-and-a-half, the number extends to 10,000 mexicans killed in it is usually drug cartels battling each other and now they are battling the state and taking on and killing and assassinating police officers and mayors and as there has been a surge in iraq and afghanistan so, too, in mexico there is a surge and president calderon has been aggressive and sent 40,000 soldiers into the field but that has not made a dented a
9:09 am
dent and the opposite is true, violence is up a third and many analysts watching the war unfold have begun to say the u.s. is simply not paying enough attention to a problem on its own doorstep. >> americans care what happens in iraq, and americans care what happened in iran and americans care what happened in afghanistan and that is on the other side of the world and all of this is happening in their neighborhood. >> another topic, on the agenda for this leaders of the u.s., mexico and canada will be trade and the mexican economy expected to contract 7%, hard times in mexico which depends on u.s. for 80% of exports and gets money from mexicans living in the u.s. and that turned down as well. and mexicans in the u.s. send back about $25 billion, that is down 20%, now, turning many small mexican towns into simply ghost towns. alisyn, back to you. >> alisyn: steve, thanks so much. for letting us know what is going on down there. we'll check back. >> dave: to rick reichmuth now,
9:10 am
a check on the hot weather across the country. >> rick: and a hurricane and the atlantic starting to look a little bit interesting. finally has been such a calm, no hurricanes in the atlantic but we've hat some in the pacific and this is felicia, and it actually is going to impact hawaii, the official track of this does bring it towards hawaii and maybe monday night into tuesday morning. probably as a very diminished storm, 40 mile-an-hour sustained winds. probably not that high but a lot of rain and the mountainous area, probably see flooding across the spots and that is one thing to watch and atlantic, quiet except for one wave that is popping off the african coast there, as a very good chance of becoming our first named storm and would be anna, a long ways away from the u.s. if we see anything from that, we are talking a week or two weeks away but something we'll start to watch and today, across this u.s., we have rain across parts of the northeast and i should say more towards the mid-atlantic and part of the great lakes, and then the next system, that is developing over across parts of nebraska and iowa, is going to bring us a big
9:11 am
threat for severe weather, this afternoon, especially in towards iowa, and parts of southern wisconsin, and the line of storms continues to pull off and we could be seeing very significant wind damage from some of this. anywhere to the south of that, we are talking about extreme heat and the highest temperatures we have seen so far this year and we'll be already feeling it, it feels like 85, right now in madison and 87 in st. louis an early in the morning and today you will feel more like 105 to 110 and a day to stay inside if you can at all because it will be uncomfortable and the actual highs today, 96 wichita, 99 dallas and the heat pull off a little bit farther east for tomorrow and we'll get towards the triple digits around the capital and towards raleigh, philadelphia, new york towards 93 and out west, still warm in phoenix, 107. clayton. >> clayton: thanks. >> dave: clayton needed that. unemployment numbers take a dip, where are the jobs and who is hiring, coming up. >> alisyn: plus we'll show you how to turn items from your garden into cocktails.

"fox & friends" and new jobless numbers indicate unemployment now at 9.4%, which begs the question, which industries are hiring and where are the jobs? >> dave: we're joined again by nicole petallides from the fox business network and the unemployment rate down not overwhelmingly but it is good news, does it translate into we hope industries hearing. >> the first drop since 2007 but i can tell you what we are seeing is strength overall in education, and health care and those have held throughout the recession and those two groups have done particularly well, they've actually been adding jobs and where we have seen layoffs, in some of the other jobs we were talk about, finance, for example, and also, manufacturing, so, health care, certainly, one, and education and those will continue. those have not dipped, throughout the recession those have done well and the government will tell you, white house economic advisors, expect a robust amount of growth, i don't know how you want to describe robust, but, they are saying, health care, and education, which were the two, have held throughout the
9:16 am
recession, but, also, green energy, transportation, and construction. those three groups, plus the other two that we discussed earlier, those five are supposed to do well and have growth, over the next decade. >> clayton: the employment in the services sector has also dipped a little bit, which is odd, you think in the services sector we'd see an increase in lower cost jobs and lower paying jobs. but, with -- we've only spent 10% of the stimulus money, want it meant to go toward developing new jobs and can we hole out hope the other 90% will lead to all kind of robust job. >> robust jobs over the next decade, and originally people expected to see a lot more a lot sooner, right? but, you heard the president come out and say, well, it wasn't a six-month plan, it was a two year plan and so, don't rush it. so there is high hopes for those five sectors that i talked about and it was interesting, forbes talked about i.t. and seeing that area having a growth of 50%, over the next six years and these are like the networking, data communications, you have to
9:17 am
get a -- at least a bachelor's degree in computer science. and the reason why they are saying this, is because efficiency, and technology, go together. and, so these companies all need to be more efficient. so, that is what they are saying and goldman sachs came out and said we are hiring in the i.t. area. >> dave: quickly you said the dow is not a great indicator of what is going on in main street and what number are you looking to see, to say all right. things are finally turning around and the recession might be bottoming out and we might be going back up. >> wouldn't that be nice? >> dave: some indication for you. >> right. let's have the unemployment rate come down, not 9.4, but at least, at least below 9, would be great, at least that would be a start, and home -- though we've had home sales interviewing a lot of those are foreclosures, or sold at a lower price, and you know... main street is suffering, the credit card fees are going up and we talked about 14 million unemployed americans, 7 million since the recession began and so, we need to see more, more of everything, more lending.
9:18 am
more home sales, at better rates, maybe not all foreclosures, 1.5 million foreclosures. and that, you know to get it going again in a better way and so i think that is what you need to do, unemployment, more jobs, housing improve and lending. lending for businesses. >> dave: we hope so, they need it. >> that would be a great start and we're seeing a little bit of it but more and that is something that robert brus ka, sent me a note this morning, saying more, we need a little more. >> dave: we won't hold our breath. >> clayton: nicole petallides, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> clayton: and she's on the floor of the stock exchange in the morning and we got her here. >> dave: police say the woman who killed 8 people driving the wrong way on new york's taconic parkway as drunk and high, and her husband, however, says, she didn't drink. she -- was she an alcoholic and is it possible he didn't know? we look for answers, next. >> clayton: and this world's longest yard sale under way, how you can cash in on things you have otherwise -- otherwise would give away, straight ahead. (announcer) big news for stiff joint sufferers.
9:20 am
9:22 am
>> alisyn: she killed herself and 7 other people when she drove the wrong way down a taconic state parkway here in new york and this is the aftermath of the horrible crash. but that's victims' families mourn many people are still looking for answers and this is a real mystery, did the driver, diane schueller, have a history of alcoholism or heavy drinking well, her husband says no. >> did you know her to go to bars. >> absolutely not. >> did you know her to get drunk and act -- >> never saw her drunk since the day i met her. she was a perfect wife, and
9:23 am
outstanding mother... >> so, could she have hid a drinking problem from her husband, addict expert nancy sacacci joins us live from l.a., good morning to you. >> good morning. >> dave: it is hard to believe, because there was a .19 blood alcohol level and people are having a hard time, she drank ten ounces of liquor in what looks like a three-hour span and could she have hid her drinking problem from her husband? >> absolutely. i mean, it is one of the most difficult things to understand for folks who aren't associated or don't know someone who struggles in addiction but, secrecy and addiction go together and, so it is very common that somebody can be a functional alcoholic and hide their problem. >> dave: how is it possible? >> clayton: if he says as he claims at parties and so forth, they, you know, would have pina coladas rarely and go back and forth once in a while and bring a bottle of vodka with them and
9:24 am
take it back and forth from time-to-time because they never even drank it a lot and so it was something transporting with them all the time and she never drank and if it is so probable a woman can hide her drinking problem, was he simply not looking at all? >> well, there's a lot of things to take into consideration, apparently the fellow worked at night and it is very possible -- and i've had clients who, when their husband is away they drink at a night and after hours when the kids are asleep and finish their daily chores and drink during the day, and depending on the type of substance a person ingests, they can even work with the smell and vodka is an alcoholic beverage that does not have a smell, there are ways to get around it. >> alisyn: i hear what you are saying but this one is so unbelievable, because, she basically had to have had the equivalent of ten shots of vodka, while she had her own two young children in the car, plus, her three nieces.
9:25 am
is there a difference between someone who is a binge drinker and someone who's an alcoholic? >> well, when you are an alcoholic you are generally drinking regularly. there is no interim, what i'm wondering is did she have a period of time where she couldn't drink as heavily as she was used to and then, in a moment, of free time she just let it go, so i think there's a lot for the investigators to figure out, but, someone who ingests that amount of alcohol is generally someone who either got triggered into some kind of enormous situational trigger that just transpired, or, that is used to drinking, and maybe their tolerance dropped for a small amount of time and when they ingested it, it hit them harder or, they are a severe alcoholic, that generally can function but overdid it this particular time. i mean, this is a tragic event, so whatever the husband's responses are in the moment, who knows whether they are altered
9:26 am
by, you know, just the numbness around such a devastating tragedy, or an attorney's suggestion. >> alisyn: but i want to challenge you on one last thing, even when somebody is an alco l alcoholic and has hidden, there is still a hangover and there has to be some evidence if somebody is a heavy drinker. >> dave: alcoholics don't normally have the hangover. >> alisyn: some do, am i right, nancy. >> well, you know, it is just hard to believe that you wouldn't see the effects of someone who is a heavy drinker but it can be masked in a lot of intelligent ways, for example, you have little children, you say, i'm just pooped out of my mind or didn't get enough sleep last night, i was up with the little one and there are ways to get around it and make excuses for it and so it is not even -- you know, with the female population it is not that uncommon to hide it, behind something or have it even hidden in the car so you have easy access.
9:27 am
it is hard to say in this case. >> dave: vodka is often the drink because it is odorless as well, often the one we find out about, nancy, live in los angeles. >> yeah. >> alisyn: thank you, nancy. >> clayton: breaking news this morning, that we have been following the story of -- a fourth body just recovered this morning from the hudson river after yesterday's tragic mid-air collision. >> alisyn: also, coming up, we're getting an inside look at little-known secrets about past presidents from the very men who followed them everywhere they went. we're talking about the secret service. including, you'll hear about an assassination attempt, never before reported to the public. straight ahead. but, first rick has a quick look at the weather. >> rick: a hurricane and hot weather and with hot weather comes summertime an cocktails, drunk in moderation, after the break, tim cooper is here, we'll be right back. ç@
9:30 am
>> clayton: wick to "fox & friends" on this sunday morning, new details we are following for you in the mid-air collision, we are learning that yet another body may have been located in the hudson river, fox's laura ingle joins us now from hoboken, new jersey, laura, what is this latest. >> reporter: what we have seen is a very active role of the divers going on in the hudson behind me and as we reported a short while ago it appeared as though a fourth body had been pulled from divers onto the main new york police boat behind me and just the last few seconds we have seen a repeat of the last
9:31 am
sequence, the divers come up, give the signal, bring over a body bag and a metal gurney, and unfortunately, i don't know if we are dealing with full bodies at this point, so it is hard to say if there is yet another body that has been recovered or could be portions of the last one brought up and nonetheless, a gruesome scene out here along the hudson river as the recovery effort goes on. i that have located the helicopter and we know it appears to be upside-down with whatever is left of the blades, sunk into the silt of the bottom of the hudson river and a very difficult task, divers cannot see down there. it is deep and murky and dangerous and the current is fast and they are feeling around, and they are bringing up what they can find and i want to show you within think i can show you. see the yellow, large craft out there, that is us army corps of engineer boat and it has a hook and a crane on the end of it, once they can safely hook the helicopter, they'll use that boat, to pull up the helicopter, and get it out but they can't do
9:32 am
that until they make sure that they do the recovery of the bodies, first, from what we have been told, ntsb investigators tell us that they continue to work on finding witnesses who can help them piece together the timeline of what happened, and we'll continue to bring you the latest, from the scene, as we get it. back to you. >> thanks, laura, and previously they only had a half-hour left of that window of time where they saw great visibility before it is too murky and time is of the essence. >> clayton: one of the problems, my dad was a rescue diver and you go underneath the water and they go in circular patterns and work in teams and the murky water where you are trying to go out and form a circular pattern and move from the center out further and can't see in front of your face and you are literally feeling in one foot of water, imagine how difficult that is. >> they are doing it. >> dave: and meanwhile the latest in the ongoing heated battle over health care in the country. town halls of have gotten very, very heated across the country and yesterday the very latest
9:33 am
incident, in des moines, iowa. resembles some of the scenes we have seen whether in tampa, florida, or in st. louis, missouri, up in michigan, and people are angry, and they are disruptive, and they are trying to get their questions answered and not necessarily doing so in the case of senator tom harkin. >> clayton: and new this morning "the new york times" reporting what democrats are now saying, which is, this is what their sticking point is this morning, is that they believe the republicans are orchestrating putting people in these town hall meet, lobbying groups, to disrupt them, in fact listen to tom harkin yesterday. >> there was a coordinated meeting to interrupt meeting and stuff like that and i don't expect that to happen here. >> as i said there is a nationally coordinated effort to disrupt these meetings. >> people are upset and left. >> and told reporters who were there, nobody had called them, they weren't part of any big organization. or effort to come and disrupt the meeting.
9:34 am
and this is just, they say, genuine outrage, they are feeling about all of the changes that may be happening with their own health care. >> clayton: we talked to ralph reed earlier who was the former member of the christian coalition and he said they have encouraged people to go to town hall meetings but be civil and have a discourse and express their concern over the health care plan. >> alisyn: there was also a mooting in memphis and we are showing you the one in des moines and a meeting in memphis, and hosted by congressman steve cone and is supposed to address the constituents' concerns like they all are and quickly degenerated into a shouting match. in and a near riot, some -- many of these there are uniform police officers who end up having to escort people out, or, protect the congressman or congresswoman there and escort them out. >> dave: and and in des moines, one of the interesting aspect to the health care story coming out in today's "new york times," that the drug industry is now promising to spend $150 million on advertising in support of the
9:35 am
white house health care plan. this is surprising. as you know, the drug companies, pharmaceutical industry has agreed to give back 80 million dollars over ten years, now, the key sticking point for the pharmaceutical industry is that 80 million dollar is capped. it does the not go beyond that dollar amount. and if it does not, they appear to be happy to give back that 80 million dollar, over ten years and fully support this health care plan. why? they like the deal. >> clayton: they like the deal an surprisingly, all the blue dog democrats we have talked about, the moderate democrats who have been the key to making this work this time, the ones that hillary clinton did not work closely with in the early '90s and, therefore didn't get the bill through, now, president obama learning a bit of history and working with the blue dog democrat and turns out that those blue dog democrats have a 25% higher amount of money being taken from these drug companies, than do other, more liberal democrats. in congress.
9:36 am
so, blue dog democrats, get a higher amount of money, as campaign donations, from the drug companies, 25% higher, according to the "new york times." >> alisyn: all right. and let's see what is happening with your weather, around the country. rick says it is hot in some places. how is it looking. >> rick: will be a really hot day across this plains thwarts the southern great lakes and chicago and areas like that and the weather maps and you can see temperatures as you wake up, already extremely warm and 74 in wichita and 78 chicago, and it is humid and feels more like the mid 80s an satellite/radar picture shows the story rain is moving across parts of new york, pennsylvania and towards jersey today. and that line of storms is going to continue, and we'll see more storms fire to the south of that will be extremely hot and extremely humid. all right, speaking of hot, it is summertime and everybody wants to be in the garden and enjoying drinks and i'm joined by tim cooper, a mix yolgs, and a good name, you make drinks. >> especially for the summer and new york city, unfortunately the weather is not beautiful but we
9:37 am
have amazing cocktails to make. rfrme >> rick: what is this first one. >> a pepper basil pagninia, and the national drink of brazil and the third most consumed cocktail in the world. >> rick: and the base alcohol is cashasa. >> yes. you said that well and the main foundation is this and in the case, cabana which is the super premium on the market. very, very unique, and distilled twice and all comes from the same plan nation in brazil and this is not your typical rum. it is made from sugar cane juice and the typical rum is made with molasses. >> rick: mix one up for us. this has lime in it. >> a little bit of extra sugar. >> correct. we'll start off with some white
9:38 am
pepper corn and add a little bit of spice, obviously with the pepper corn. and being we are focusing on garden cocktails, we'll use something grown in most people's gardens... basil. about 7 or 8 fresh basil leaves. >> rick: all right. >> and, basil, it is getting really big and -- in cocktail circles because it has such a great vegetable aroma and plays great with the cabana and it has vegetable quality that highlight. >> rick: i'll muddle that. you get the next thing going, what else goes in here. >> we'll put in some cabana which i'll throw in. good job, excellent! and we'll actually juice half of a lime. get about an ounce of fresh lime juice and we are going to add
9:39 am
some ice. >> rick: i sense the big shake coming up here in a second. >> that's correct. and we'll actually add a little sugar. >> rick: i like everything you are doing so far. all right? get this. you like that! good? [cheers and applause]. >> thank you! >> rick: all right. and. >> and i pour. >> pour. nice, we're moving on, we have 30 second for you to get one more drink, can you do it, the cabana home cooler. >> let's see. >> i'll give it a good sniff. >> we'll use cucumber and mint, and we're going to muddle that and get through this as well as i possibly can. cabana -- >> rick: and you see it in a lot of drinks nowadays. >> you are seeing it in a lot of drinks, it is great. [brakes screeching [. >> rick: new york city duck tours.
9:40 am
okay. >> and we are going to shake that up. >> rick: you get these recipes for these summer drinks on foxnews.com and cabana.com an links to that on our web site. and here's two drinks, guys, i know you are sad when you don't get the booze segment but... cheers! >> we thought we could hear your stomach growling, but, no, that was the brakes of the truck. >> clayton: the duck tours and somebody take it to tune-up masters, thanks, rick. >> dave: the world's longest garage sale, coming up, taking place this weekend. across america. literally. and, all that stuff just sitting in your garage, could be worth a fortune, we'll tell you how to turn your trash into cash! when news you can use comes up. >> clayton: alisyn choked on fruit by accident. i'll read this. [laughter]. >> clayton: an inside look at the secret service and the presidents they protected over the years, the most guarded
9:41 am
secrets from the world's most powerful leaders are next. >> alisyn: way to have my back, clayton, thank you! at i need. tom showed me how to use mifi to get my whole team working online, on location. i was like, "woah". woah ! only verizon wireless has small business specialists in every store to help you do business better. you're like my secret ingredient. come in today and connect up to five devices on one 3g connection. now only $99.99 this is humiliating. stand still so we can get an accurate reading. okay...um...eighteen pounds and a smidge. a smidge? y'know, there's really no need to weigh packages under 70 pounds. with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service, if it fits, it ships anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. cool. you know this scale is off by a good 7, 8 pounds. maybe five. priority mail flat rate boxes only from the postal service. a simpler way to ship.

9:43 am
>> clayton: welcome back to fox and friends, have you ever wanted to be a fly on the wall in the oval office? the people who know the president -- presidents' lives better than anyone are the secret servicemen paid to protect them and a book reveals some of the greatest secret, this book is fantastic, ronald kessler the author of the
9:44 am
presidents' secret service is here to give us an inside look, thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> clayton: there are some remarkable revelations in the book. and you talk about the secret servicemen who have had to do extraordinary things, as they have protected the lives of presidents, right? >> oh, yeah. they have even listened tie psychic in one case when george h. w. bush was going to give a speech in details, she knew so many details of the upcoming visit and the vision was there would be an assassination they listened to her and changed it and if you read the details you can see why. >> the motorcade route was moved after george h. w. bush had the psychic vision based on the psychic's vision and it was changed and jeanie carter had remarkable things and he used to make the press think he came to work early and would walk in the oval office 5:00 a.m. and then what would he do. >> he'd tell the press office to tell the press he was there working hard for the american
9:45 am
people at 5:00 a.m., and then, he would nod off to sleep on the sofa and take a nap for the rest of the morning. >> clayton: smart move. >> and jimmy carter would also pretend to carry his own luggage, in front of the cameras but either the luggage was empty or he would give the luggage to aides as soon as the cameras were off him. >> clayton: the secret service, we are picking on jimmie, they also said he was one of the nicest presidents they ever covered, is that correct. >> jimmy carter? >> clayton: yes. >> no. just the opposite. he was the... the meanest, he didn't want secret service agents to even say hello to him in the morning, it was too much trouble for them to say hello to another human being. he definitely was really the most despised president in the view of the secret service. >> clayton: i say that tongue in cheek, say this tongue in cheek because he was not well liked by those guys and let's move on to reagan, different story here and what did he do when the secret
9:46 am
service, what are they revealing? >> a lot of endearing stories, and one tidbit, when gary hart's affair was about to come out with donna rice one of reagan's aids told him about it just as he was getting into the elevator of the white house and reagan said, well, boys will be boys and went up in the elevator with the secret service agent and said to the agent but boys will not be president. >> clayton: he quietly wrote personal checks to people who had written him, with hard luck stories, this is a story we don't ever year, the kind of philanthropy i love, when people give back and don't tell other people they are doing it but used to write checks to people and never tell anyone about it. is that right. >> yes, that's right in fact, $5,000 was quite a bit more back then and he was -- loved his -- to schmooze with the secret service and spend hours telling jokes and stories and watching tv with them and was highly respected as was george bush, the more recent president. and on the other hand, george
9:47 am
bush's daughter, jenna, as well as barbara, would give the secret service a hard time and jenna went through red lights trying elude the secret service detail and she and henry hagar got -- now her husband, got so drunk at a halloween party the secret service had to take them to georgetown university hospital and one of the -- >> clayton: wow. >> one of the unknown duties of the secret service. but -- >> clayton: the other known duty of the secret service to protect presidents in assassination attempt and there are a number of assassination attempts that heretofore we have never learned about. which you reveal in your book. in 1996, against george h. w. bush, i never heard about this. tell us what happened? >> there was a plot by hezbollah to take down bush's helicopter, when he was going to lebanon, after he was no longer president. and the cia got on to it and told the secret service, they of
9:48 am
course didn't take the helicopter trip, they you have other means, and just one, one example, and of course, now, threats against president obama are up 400% as compared with george bush and is even more dangerous and the secret service has been cutting corners which i go into in the book how they'll actually not do magnetometer or screenings and shut them down early, unthinkable risks the secret service today has taken. >> clayton: there is also something that happened with reagan in 1981 after the reagan assassination attempt the secret service washington field office did something. tell us about that. >> give me more hidden after the assassination... >> clayton: the white house, for ronald reagan, there was another threat against the president, which we didn't even learn about, right. >> yeah, there was a would-see assassin, phony from the secret and threatening to kill the president and the secret service
9:49 am
traced it and got him. one funny story in the opposite direction is, when president clinton was at a golf course in the midwest, the secret service got on to the fact that a construction worker climbed up on top of a roof, and was aiming a rifle at clinton, and it turned out that this guy just decided to do this because he would use the telescopic sight to get a better view of clinton and in the end he was not arrested but certainly was questioned quite, quite heavily. >> clayton: unbelievable and these are a few, the time we have had are a few of the unbelievable revelations in the book, check out by ronald kessler the author of "in the president's secret service." thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> clayton: thank you, let's toss it out to dave outside with a look at what is coming up on the show. >> dave: sure am, whether buying or selling we have great tips for you. on how to turn your clutter into cash. and we'll talk about the world's longest yard sale, this thing
9:50 am
runs 650-plus miles. how about that, great tips for you. news you can use, coming up. tor bad cholesterol but your good cholesterol and triglycerides are still out of line? then you may not be seeing the whole picture. ask your doctor about trilipix. if you're at high risk of heart disease and taking a statin to lower bad cholesterol, along with diet, adding trilipix can lower fatty triglycerides and raise good cholesterol to help improve all three cholesterol numbers. trilipix has not been shown to prevent heart attacks or stroke more than a statin alone. trilipix is not for everyone, including people with liver, gallbladder, or severe kidney disease, or nursing women. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you are pregnant or may become pregnant. blood tests are needed before and during treatment to check for liver problems.

9:56 am
walking away, then it may be that your prices are too high and not everyone want to haggle and make sure you price it low enough and sometimes a cross out a price and write a new price and they feel like they are getting a better deal. >> alisyn: fire sale. >> clayton: and advertising. people put -- spend money on advertising and spend half the money in an ad in the paper. what should you do. >> the third key is planning, part of your planning, place an ad in the paper or free listing on craigslist. >> clayton: save a lot of money, do it for free on craigslist. >> dave: and plan it on a better weather day than we are having now because people, come out when it is a tad sunnier and donna has tips for the people that are buying and we'll have all of those in the "after the show" show on foxandfriends.com, one-minute organizer, where can we find more information. >> lifetime-come and a slew of tips for sellers and also, you can get a discount on these tables.
