jealous? brian: it is probably a good time to adjourn the meeting when you have lost total control. a town hall turned it town brawl. jimmy in georgia, turn on "fox & friends" and see what is in store. >> it is "fox & friends." steve: who is that gal in the pink dress? once upon a time, early in her career, she worked here at a fox news channel and now she is a big anchor. >> it is fun to be here.

down. this morning we're hearing the first call's from 911. steve: dozens of people called 911. lawmakers want something done about the traffic done along the hudson river. right now, pilots do not have to check in with air traffic control if they're flying below 1,100 feet. dari: the second earthquake in tokyo in just two days, leaving one person dead and two

brian: they got more than the thrill that they paid for. just as the roller-coaster was reaching the highest point, a mechanical failure stranded 24 people, leading them down and cleaned 80 feet in the air for four hours. firefighters rushed to the scene to rescue the riders. no injuries were reported. steve: at least they weren't upside down. dari: much more of a ride than they bargained for. the health-care debate gets heated when a senator loses control of his own town hall meeting. steve: kelly joins us from washington, d.c.. tempers are flaring last night. >> we have seen a lot of this going on.

in the state of maryland, we're talking about senator cardin. outside, you are looking at the protesters shouting. these are the protesters for and against health care. those are hearing and shouting at each other. fortunately, no violence. on the inside is where the sparks were flying as well. the vigorous debate continued on the inside. it was pretty much the same thing on the outside. here is what center been carted -- senator cardin was facing. >> united states ranks 37th on health care results out heaof 191 countries.

>> if you will just allow the senator a few more moments and we will get to the questions >> basically, you have people using their right of free speech and been very vigorous in their debate against health care. this has been going on across the country. the president of the united states said he welcomes vigorous debate, but in the long run, he would like to see more cooler haneads prevail. brian: i heard the stuff was going on outside as well. >> yes, senator cardin had

some uniformed police officers. the police officers were there to maintain control to ensure that if violence did break out, there would be someone there to handle it. some people argued that the senator should have been able to control the crowd. as you can see, people were not listening. steve: they got some attention on tv. kelly, thank you very much. the president is bracing for some wloudness. he will have a couple of town halls this week. you can see live right here on fox news. brian: upon further review, i guess we do not need the planes. it would add an unnecessary way to a huge pentagon defense spending bill. after a bipartisan outrage from senator reid and senator mccain,

they have decided to pull back those personal plans that are essentially gulfstream jets used for executives to fly around from place to place. dari: the original claim was that it was to replace older ones that have made to this issues and safety issues. brian: havel about delta or american? steve: why don't they fly commercial as we do? maybe they do not want to be in the same cabin as the people were yelling at them. i'm on my peanuts. it sounds as if -- these extra jets were inserted into the budget, even though the defense department did not ask for them. it sounds like they will be stripped from the senate bill. sounds like john murtha is one

of the guys behind it. brian: senate is eric metcalf school -- some determin -- another came from nancy pelosi. it looks as though nancy pelosi was corrected by one of the communications people, bill burton of the obama white house. she was saying, here is what bill burton said.

apparently, she went up to him er later. brian: maybe all this richard holbrooke in pakistan, and everybody is talking about these envoys -- now, all of a sudden, she said, i have had it. dari: she is tired and gilljet lagged. steve: that is going to be our question of the day. issue jet lag or jealous? dari: crying babies and the smell of overflowing toilets for an entire night. why were passengers held on a plan for hours and hours?

steve: there was a lot of frustration. you can see it in the pictures. the stimulus package and are rammed down their throats. now only 10% of it was spent. people were just really worried that we would not have a chance to talk it over. now because there was a delay of game in the house and senate, members of congress have a month on your hands, and you're getting an earful. what are your people telling you? >> that is exactly what ought to occur. what i am hearing is that they're very concerned about the government running health care. they do not believe the government ought to be inserted between doctors and patients. that is one of the primary concerns. they do not believe the government ought to be dictating what kind of health insurance they have. they want to make certain they can't pick their doctor and take the place they are treated. -- they want to make sure they can takpick their doctor.

brian: this is from the white house deputy chief of staff. he said -- that essentially means of the republicans' protests the bill, we will show you down. does that play into some of the violence that we have seen that these events? >> i think so. it is also this chicago political mentality. this is very disappointing. we ought to be having an honest debate about one of the most important things for any of us across this land. that is our health care. instead, we see this remarkable arrogance out of the white house and out of the speaker. there are other solutions. there are things we can do to our health care system that would fix what is wrong, keep what is right, and make it so that the cost comes down, and make it so people do not lose

health insurance if they change their jobs or lose their jobs. how appropriate liability coverage so we end this ridiculous loss of mentality that we have as it relates to health care. there are positive things we can do. as chair of the republican study committee, we put a bill on the table, hr-3400, that we believed solves the challenges. steve: congressman dr. tom price, thank you very much. brian: he is supposed to be on vacation here. eunice kennedy shriver has passed away at the age of 88. you are looking at live pictures of the massachusetts hospital where she has been for the last few days. steve: nancy pelosi is calling the people of the town halls an angry mob. one man wanted to see why they were so angry. >> i am totally against the bill

our own judge will talk about it. dari: people at town hall meetings were told not to watch glenn beck. why are they worried? you will hear the truth. he will be your of the top of the hour.

dari: westchester county, home to bill and hillary clinton, is one of the nation's wealthiest counties. it is also predominantly white. the landscape is about to change. brian: the county now has to build affordable housing for

low-income people. let's bring in the fox news senior judicial analyst. judge, what does this do? why is this all of the sudden an issue? >> this has been bubbling up for a vial to the state of new york has a statute that requires regions -- could be a large town or it could be a county. to make available affordable housing for poor people. the theory of the law is the poor people should be able to live wherever they want, whether in thit is manhattan or upstatew york. this was invented by the legislature. the legislature said 2 westchester county, where are the poor people? then somebody files a lawsuit and the department of housing and urban development jump in on the lawsuit and push it forward.

yesterday, the lawsuit was settled. the taxpayers of westchester county will pay $83 million in fees and fines to the federal government to purchase and develop this real estate for low-income housing. brian: what does that do for housing crisis? >> you could have a magnificent home in the town where bill and hillary clinton live, and next door to you could be a homeless shelter. that could reduce the value of your property. in that respect, the government is taking money from you by suppressing the value of your real-estate. the law was written to make sure that poor people have the right to live where they want. dari: is there not a resolution to this? obviously, with this recession and housing prices going down anyway, they certainly do not want to further decrease the value by having this kind of real estate there.

>> this was a loss of the started in the bush administration. the bush department of housing and urban development jumped in on the lawsuit. it could have gone on for a couple more years. yesterday, they reached an agreement. these things happen all over the country all of the time. there is no place in this county for low-income housing without putting it right next to expensive housing. the other interesting thing is the cost is extraordinary. $30 million into the treasury department alone just to slap the wrist of the people of westchester county. brian: $85 million is the cost. $30 million of that goes into the treasury. >> correct. to compensate the justice department and hud for having

pursued the this and for punishing westchester. brian: is there another shoe to drop? >> no. westchester will have a lawyer appointed as a monitor to make sure they take another $30 million, buy real estate, and develop it. the mentality behind this wall is the same mentality behind health care. it's as the right to live where everyone is a right. it is not a right. the law says you get to live wherever you want. well the counties have to buy land and develop low-income housing. big brother is right here. this is an example. brian: we will talk about this much more a little bit later. >> it is so nice to see you. dari: it is good to see you. brian: these two had a bitter rivalry when they worked together. stop dari: it.

dari: the secretary of state it wants you to know she is the boss. >> you want me to tell you what my husband thinks? my husband is not the secretary of state. i am. dari: what is the deal? was hillary clinton jet lagged or jealous? glenn beck is here next. brian: has olivia newton-john's long-lost boyfriend surfaced? new details of the top of the over. . re walking, re walking, and they'll say, "did you shine up her spots?"

>> a strong woman in a family that honors strength. eunice shriver leaves behind her husband, five children, including california first lady and former tv news woman maria shriver and numerous grandchildren. in new york, david lee miller, fox news. steve: eunice shriver was 88. much more on her life. we will go live to the hospital coming up very shortly right here on "fox & friends." dari: meantime, divers are back in the hudson river this morning trying to locate the 9th victim. they will also try to pull the 8th victim from the mangled wreckage. 60 feet below the surface. they discovered the body yesterday. but strong current forced them out of the river. thought ntsb will attempt to recover the wreckage. it's on its side and no wings are visible. it's stuck in heavy mud. this morning, we are hearing more calls to 911 from the moment that plane and helicopter collided.

brian: elsewhere, residents of a mentally disabled school were allegedly forced to fight each other. first trial underway for employee who saw it all happen. we warn you the images quite disturbing, you have 25-year-old jesse cells. one of six former staffs charged in the case. he was spotted in the video forced fights between the residence. he already pled guilty to not stopping the fights. is he set to testify against his former co-workers. steve: meanwhile, in other news, stunning news for olivia newton john. it now appears her former exboyfriend thought to be dead

is alive and apparently living in mexico. investigators say patrick mcder mitt, who disappeared on a fishing trip back in 2005, sent a letter to private detectives in the u.s. saying he was alive but wanted to be left alone and many believe mcdermott fell overboard and drowned. new evidence uncovered by the u.s. coast guard suggests he faked his own death. olivia newton john dated him for nine years before he disappeared she recently married a guy name john esther ling. brian: they seemed happy. dari: a country legend duo is going their separate ways ♪ it's where i found jesus ♪ where i wrecked my first car. dari: after 20 number one hits, brooks and dunn are calling it kicks. kicks brooks and ronnie dunn concerts scheduled through october. they also have a greatest hits

album coming out. they will also hit the road again one last time in 2010 for a farewell tour. brian: always hard to say goodbye. steve: brooks and dunn, done. glenn beck joins us now. you are probably a fan of their music, right? >> i do. i like brooks and dunn. steve: you have met dari alexander from channel 5? >> more vacation time? jeez, some people work for a living. brian: that's incredible the attacks. steve: glenn, let me talk to you about this nancy pelosi and steny hoyer. >> i read it is, that ok? do i have permission from the government to read things now? brian: yes, you do. >> i don't know what i'm supposed to read what i can't read. steve: reading czar says it's all right. drowning out opposing views is simply unamerican. now i want to take you back to

2003. and here, a member of pelosi's own party talking about just that but it's ok with hillary. listen. steve: wait a minute. >> she didn't sound like an angry mob there, did she? steve: of course, back then in 2003 she was criticizing the republican administration. now the high heels are on the other foot. >> there might be some hypocrisy? i find that unusual in today's america. brian: glenn, what i thought was very unusual too was bill burton essentially saying there is a long tradition in this country for people yelling at politicians and speaking up against politicians. sense a little bit of a rift and correcting of the course between

the administration and the speaker? >> i think the president of the united states needs to come out and give a speech. here is a guy who, look, we're building a nanny state, right? why don't you treat us like children consistently. i know as parents if i have two children squabbling with something i say you knock it off, you knock it off, or neither one of are you going to get health care. you know what i mean? that's what the president needs to do. thugs on either side, and so far i haven't seen the evidence of thugs and angry mobs. i have seen frustrated americans and, of course, i mean, we all know that the unions, there is never a problem there. i event the evidence of real thuggery on the angry mob side. if there is, they should go to jail. if you are doing something and you are throwing punches. dari: president says na addition to what burton said is that he agrees that it is constitutional

and it is patriotic to come out and express your opinion that is very american. however, if you are just coming there to make a ruckus and waste people's time then it's pointless. >> i think what the president fails and most people fail to realize in washington is, i mean, i have 8 million listeners on my radio show. i talk to them every day and i hear them. since george bush when he was in office. they were on the phone calling. they were emailing. now it's getting to the point to when they call the capital, they are being hung up on. people are treating them rudely. they shut down the phones in washington. it's ridiculous. people are saying nobody is listening to me anymore. steve: did you see that video of that congressman down in georgia who was yelling at this man because he said, you know, essentially, you have hijacked us by standing up here and asking this particular question. you should have called my office. as it turns out, that man was a

doctor from that area and he had called that congressman's office a number of times. and i think this feeds into your point earlier which is there is so much frustration. the stimulus bill got jammed down our throats. >> tarp did. all of it did. it's not just barack obama. what people have to understand in washington, listen, it's not a barack obama thing. it's not a democrat thing. it's a republican and democrat thing. they weren't listening when george bush was in charge. build a fence, what do you do you? say you are going to build a fence and then you don't build one. do we have one? isn't it required by law in the women that you people wrote? i mean at some point america says enough. brian: we did have the funding. we put it aside and it stopped being built. >> it stopped. brian: see a republican bringing you up yesterday. bob incorporate -- ingliss he was talking to people at a town hall. >> great suggestion up here. the suggestion was glenn beck.

here's what i would suggest. turn that television off when he comes on. [booing] brian: they boo. is he telling them to shut you off. dari: how does it feel to be banned? >> you wouldn't believe what my life is like now. we're entering a time that is beyond belief in america where you have opinions and oh, you better keep them to yourself. steve: whatever happened to challenge authority. why just sit back and determine how your life is going to be. why not say ok, you want to do this, well how would that effect me? when do we lose the right to ask questions. >> we have been losing it for quite some time. it's really amazing to me that you can be a community organizer, and all these community organizations it's cool unless you become a community organizing -- community organizer organizing against the community organized health care. then you are a mob. i mean, you are either for people getting together and

engaging and bringing people together and coming up with these community organizations or you are not. it's interesting that in the health care bill you get special treatment if you are part of a community organization. brian: let me ask you this, glenn. excuse me, dairy. dari: that's all right. brian: if you win the election by the margin that barack obama wanted. if you have the majority in the house, majority in the senate. why can't you jam this down america's throat? didn't they give that you mandate? >> when did, my gosh, did anybody ask that question with george w. bush? do you remember all the -- he is jamming it down, he is just going -- too much control? look, you can do whatever you want as a president of the united states, i guess. you can do whatever you want. but, aren't we supposed to be uniting? aren't we supposed to be coming together? you cannot jam these bills down people's throats. we're talking about fundamentally changing and transforming america on several levels. did you know that timothy

geithner friday went to the congress and said you have got to raise the debt limit? did you know that on the front page of the financial files on friday or saturday they are talking about a 33% chance now that the monetary system of england collapses. i think we should have some talk about some reasonable spending here. and what we are doing. steve: that's what you do on your show. that's what we are doing this morning. more with glenn beck in just a moment. we want to talk to you as well about hillary clinton. she wants you to know, you people out there, whose the boss and running the statement department. >> wait, you want me to tell you what my husband thinks? my husband is not the secretary of state. i am. steve: what is going on in her head. why did she snap? we're going to talk to that man about it straight ahead. >> angry mob. dari: clinical trials of the swine flu vaccine underway. are you thinking about getting one? two people who just got the vaccine yesterday will join us live and tell us how they feel. >> i would. steve: i'm hoping you feel ok.

dari: me too. when i was seventeen i was not good to my skin. long summer days and not enough sleep.

what i wouldn't do for a do-over. (announcer) new neutrogena total skin renewal. gentle exfoliating puffs and micro-vibrations speed surface cell turnover. it's clinically tested to help undo the look of a year's worth of skin aging in just one week. that summer of sun? i just made it disappear.

>> wait, you want me to tell what you my husband thinks? my husband is not the secretary of state, i am. [inaudible] >> so you ask my opinion, i will tell you my opinion. i'm not going to be channelling my husband. dari: ouch. welcome back. it is 17 after the hour. rather angry hillary clinton there in africa reacting to a question from a university student who asked her how her husband feels about a particular financial situation as opposed to how she feels as secretary of state. steve: as it turns out for the college kid, he was mistrant mis -- mistranslated by a french translater. >> it's the french's fault. again it's the french. brian: i don't like their mustard or their attitudes. has she snapped? >> i believe she was channelling joe biden.

joe hasn't said anything stupid for a while. brian: do you think the risk, being left out of the world tour. >> going to russia, what secretary of state can't make it to russia because they have a sore wrist, i mean, i haven't been on air force one but i'm pretty sure they can provide you with an aspirin. she's pakistan, she is being cut out. and i don't know if she is cutting herself out or if she's being cut out. but there is a rift growing here. i think. brian: you saw real anger in that? >> who didn't see. steve: we were talking on this show last week, glenn, when bill clinton flew over to north korea and sprang those two journalists. bill clinton, not hillary clinton had delivered barack obama his biggest international diplomatic feat thus far. that's her department. for her husband the president of the united states to steal her

thunder, that's got to hurt. >> it speaks volume. it may have been jet lag. dari: maybe her wrist was bothering her. it's very humid there. it's aching. >> couldn't get an aspirin. >> i bet they have universal health care over there so she should have had an aspirin. >> whether it's jet lag or not, you are the secretary of state. you cannot have -- you have to be even-tempered no matter how bad of a mood you are in. you can't. brian: i'm thinking kissinger, colin powell, cyrus vance. steve: married to a former president. brian: i feel so overdressed. dari: sneakers with the no laces. >> it's august. you know what i mean? steve: i love it. >> brian, you were on vacation. let him ease into it. steve: glenn, we will be watching today at 5:00 eastern time. >> health care. you won't see it any place else.

dari: two counties with the exact same unemployment rate. why did one get a bunch of stimulus cash and the other got nearly nothing? it's the stimulus program, is it really working? a look at the major disconnect. brian: then, this guy was apparently a little bit tired and he onned while in court. the judge on duty was having none of it the punishment? you won't believe it, for yawning. that's a-- tiny netbook. yeah, it's-- good-looking, lightweight. generally awesome. and you could just-- go online, video-chat with my cousin. this is un-- under $200. are you some kind of-- mind reader, visionary ? no, i have them. huh. the new lightweight hp mini netbook with windows and america's largest and most-reliable 3g network built in. only 199.99 with mobile broadband plans from 39.99

brian: first, 50 million dollars that's how much economic stimulus funds nasa plans to spend developing space taxis. they want to get transportation happening in outer space. they can submit proposals.

next, 50 cents. -- 50% i should say. that's how much southwest airlines increased its bid to buy bankrupt frontier airlines. it adds up to $170 million. finally, six months. that's how long cliffton williams was sentenced for yawning in a courtroom. he was there awaiting his cousin's sentencing on drug charges. then he got six months in jail on contempt charges for himself. steve, i will never yawn, i promise. i have been scared straight. steve: you better not take a nap during this, brian. 24 after the top of the hour. both these counties have the same unemployment rates. so why did one county get more stimulus cash per capita than the other? nobody seems to have the answer. joining us right now stanley humphreys, the county judge, executive of trig county kentucky. and george balkman commissioner of lagrange county. thank you for joining us. >> thank you, good morning. steve: stanley, let's start with

you. how much money did trig county, kentucky get? we should point out both of your counties have unemployment of about 16%. how much did trig county get? >> currently we are at about 31 million. it's about 30 million for road projects, the land between the lakes area, steve. you may have heard of that that's in the western part of the state which is a big recreational area, borders trig county in the western part of the state. steve: how much is that per capita? >> we are about 14,000 population. i think if you average it out it's over $2,000 per capita. let me explain. steve: i will tell you what, stanley. hang on a second. there in trig county they are winding up $2,400 per person. george, in your county, in indiana, how much are you getting per person because you have got exactly the same

unemployment, so we are kind of curious. >> well, our population is around 33,000 with about 40% of that being amish. we have received notice of one grant. we have not received the money yet. received notice of one grant for $138,000 on the council on aging grant. that's about 3.50 per person or $4 per person. steve: both these counties have unemployment rates of about 16%. one county gets 2400. the other gets 3.5. stanley, why did the disparity? isn't this supposed to help poverty and unemployment all across the country equally? >> well, the 30 million of that 31 million, steve, has been a road project the land between the lakes area as i mentioned a moment ago. really that comes from the transportation cabinet out of the state of kentucky. we received about 4 billion stimulus dollars. and i think the transportation

cabinet received about 430 million. so really they changed about 30 million from stimulus transportation to that project. steve: george, don't you feel like you are getting the short end of the stick? his county is getting 2400 per person on average and you are getting 3.50? >> well, we have applied for about 35 grants or stimulus grants. we have received word on only one. that was council on aging grant. the frustrating part of it is lack of communications. we just don't know what's going on. it's real hard to find out. we have employed our attorneys to try to put all this in one package to go together on it to try to get it done right. we just can't find out what's going on. the only help we have had out of the state is marlon stutzman who is a state senator who has tried to help us to work through this. but that's about it. steve: we know there is a lot of questions that have not been answered for you people even at high levels of your counties. stanley and george, thank you

very much. >> thank you very much for having us on. steve: you bet. all right. 2 minutes now -- that is just crazy. 2 minutes after the top of the hour. clinical trials of the swine flu vaccine given out in eight american cities. should you sign up? two people who just got the vaccine yesterday will join us live to tell us why they did it ticketed on the way to a funeral for not wearing seat belts. big problem? the couple missed the burial as a result. they are here and telling us why they are outraged at the deputy who pulled them over. and, stunning pictures out of asia this morning. look at that. after massive tie fine water tore through several counties and countries as well. the aftermath burying villages and downing buildings straight ahead on "fox & friends."

four sizes. call and we'll send a free supply, plus up to $160 in offers. when you're ready to ship, we'll even pick them up for free, no matter how many you have. priority mail flat rate boxes only from the postal service. a simpler way to ship. call or go online now to get started. dari: welcome back, everybody. the first human trials of the swine flu vaccine started in eight american cities. researchers are testing up to 2400 healthy adults to figure out if the vaccine is safe and how to gauge how many doses are needed. brian: joining us now two women who got the shots yesterday carolyn and linda potter did it first off, how do you feel today, both of you? >> fine. >> just fine. >> same as usual. brian: ok. so, first off, i guess the thing

that pops into mind is what made you take the plunge? any doubters among you? >> i felt safe in doing it, no. >> what made me do it is that this is an opportunity to help. >> society. >> test the vaccine so that it can be refined for the rest of the population, the rest of the nation. great opportunity. dari: carolyn and linda, you are all veteran vaccine takers. tell me about that why do you do this? >> i think i'm the only veteran. >> yeah. i'm a newbie. >> just like linda said. benefit society. they always need volunteers for these vaccines. i'm just glad to help out it will help my children in the future. dari: i'm sorry. you don't worry about taking all these different foreign drugs every once in a while? >> no. i don't. >> not a bit.

with this one in particular, it's being manufactured by the same folks that manufacture the flu vaccines. this is another strain of the flu. so we're adding this one. and testing it and it's being done under very controlled circumstances. feel even better than this than i might feel about just getting a regular flu shot because they are asking us to log anything that we might be feeling, any effects we might be having. call them with anything. they are calling us. so it's very supported position that we are in. steve carolyn, you know, because they are -- the experts are suggesting that in the fall this could be -- this could become a lot stronger and a lot more widespread than we have seen during the summer and even in the spring as well. it is interesting to track what you will be doing with these clinical trials and linda just kind of detailed a little bit about how you keep track of how you are feeling and stuff like that. i understand it's not just one

shot. tell us what you are going to be going through. >> well, we got two shots yesterday. one for the flu. one for the swine flu. we go back a certain amount of time and our blood gets tested. we also get additional shots as well. steve: when you go back for the blood test, what are they doing for? did they tell you. >> see how it's reacting. the vaccine. >> they will be testing to determine whether the ante bodies have built up in our body to fight the swine flu. so, to see how effective it is essentially. steve: gotcha. dari: what kind of side effects did they tell to you expect? >> could possibly be tired or your arm could be sore. but we -- i haven't experienced any of that. one of my arms is slightly sore but aside from that, i feel normal. >> i haven't had any side effects. dari: just the normal kind of side effects you get from taking

a vaccine, huh? >> um-huh. >> that's correct. dari: carolyn and linda, we thank you. >> thank you. brian: we will continue to track you and hope to have you back. thanks a lot. 25 minutes before the top of the hour much the news we basically started the show with and it's sad news. dari: it certainly is. fox news alert. eunice kennedy shriver died this morning at a hospital in massachusetts. we learned the sad news about an hour ago. eunice is the sister of president john f. kennedy. she was 88 years old and in declining health for years. now governor arnold schwarzenegger just released a statement saying, quote, eunice was the devoted mother of five children, including my dear wife, maria. my foreign changed my life by raising such a fantastic daughter and by putting me on the path to service, starting with drafting me as a coach for the special olympics. i will miss her every day, but i know her spirit endures through her amazing children and grandchildren and through the many lives she's changed.

brian: ok. another fox news alert right now. it's sad news as well. three u.s. troops have been killed in afghanistan. it happened in three separate attacked and it happened this weekend. the exact locations not yet disclosed. july was the deadliest month for troops in afghanistan. 75 service members killed this month. at least 24 troops have died. steve: meanwhile, take a look at this amazing video in taiwan, a building swept right into the river. there she goes. the raging water triggered by a typhoon that's dumped over 80 inches of rain in the last days. a mudslide has buried a village. listen to those screams. there goes somebody's house floating down the river. at least 400 people are unaccounted for regarding mud slides like that one. eastern portions of china, rescue workers are crawling

through massive mud slides that have toppled seven apartment buildings. dari: more incredible weather video a state of emergency declared in upstate new york where heavy thunderstorms and flooding have caused two deaths. look at that crews called into rescue those stranded by the deadly storm. more than 20,000 people lost power and a local hospital had to be evacuated because of flooding. now some roads are still impassable and more rain is expected today. brian: just like any baby trying to go places they shouldn't. this baby elephant got stuck in a manhole and it happened in thailand. and all you could see was his head. rescue workers eventually brought in a bulldozer to get the hole wide enough to set the little guy freed free. thankfully no harm done. for those of you who own elephants beware sometimes they fall in holes. dari: and don't feed the bears.

brian: if i had a pen, i would write that down. let's look at sports. michael vick is, he going to sign with a team. rumor mill is the packers, considering signing vick. that signing could come as early as this week. vick's mentor tony dungy says he has spoken to several coaches who are very interested. vick is going to give his first interview after being released on dogfighting charges. is he going to do it for 60 minutes and jim brown at cbs. look at jeff gordon's car spinning violently. how would he be? perfectly fine. knocked out of the race though. held a good race for tony stewart. he does well. he wins a record fifth time at watkins. the victory gives him 260 point lead in the sprint cup race. and one more story for you. it's involving relationships which i'm an expert on. kate hudson has a new movie role and one she is playing quite well. it's a reality show.

it's called good luck charm. ever since she and yankee slugger alex rodriguez went public with their relationship, last month his numbers have perked up big time. so have the yankees. arod's batting 30 points higher. he also socked key home runs in the recent sweep of the red sox four straight gates games. sources tell the new york daily news that hudson is well liked around yankee stadium. so we do have sources that say she is well liked around yankee stadium stadium. her mom did not take kurt russell's name. goldie hawn. steve: goldy hawaiian is her -- goldie hahn is her mother. brian: concerning numbers and a story we started this segment with. steve: 19 minutes before the top of the hour. they were on their way to their sister's funeral when they were ticketed for not wearing their

seat belts. here is the worst part. they missed the burial. we will talk to the cup bell -- couple in 10 minutes. dari: in this new add he is being portrayed as a right wing yahoo and being blamed for mob style tactics. it turns out he is not a republican at all. how the democrats turned him into the enemy. that's next. brian: now it's time to play the aflac trivia question of the day. it's a game. when this hotel added aflac to compliment their benefits package aflac! it made a big splash with the employees yeaaaahhhh! find out more at aflac!... ...forbusiness.com

steve: next guest has been the targets of democrats. his memo was on the rachel maddow show. >> republicans and well-funded allies are organizing angry mobs just like they did during the election. their goal? destroy president obama and stop the change americans voted for overwhelmingly in november. this mob activity is straight from the playbook of high level republican political operatives. brian: good news for us. we have one of them with us. that high level operative is bob mcguffey. that's the same bob mcguffey no started a pac with five friends last winter. the same bob who is not even a registered republican. why has he become the liberal's number one target? is that indeed accurate. bob? welcome. >> well, thank you, appreciate the opportunity to come on and speak with you guys correct the

record. what's the reality of your group? >> the reality of the group is that five of us got together last fall after the election once we had three branches of government all taken over by big government thinking and a big government agenda coming at us so, we formed principles which celebrates the founding principles of the country and the founder's beliefs. it's a limited government web site. steve: you say limited because up until about two weeks ago you had a facebook account and had you 23 friends. somebody got ahold of something you wrote in fact that that special they called you a high level political operative, what's your real job? >> i'm a partner insurance agent. steve: you are insurance guy. in that commercial they are painting you to be a high level political operative which is not true but with regarding this little memo that you sent out to your two dozen friends on facebook. what did it say? >> well, what we did is we went down to a town hall. i was doing community organizing

in connecticut and we went down to a town hall. when com hymes was there and we decided we were going to get in and we were going to get heard. we were not just going to listen to the prepared script that occurs in these things. we organized. we went in and spread out in the front of the hall. we managed to get some questions. in we were respectful. and it came out well. because we did get our questions addressed. and many of the answers were dodges. and we were frustrated with that and that's where some of the yells came from. i wrote the memo and i passed it out to grass roots organizers in connecticut as a game plan for getting your voice heard in a town hall. brian: getting everybody offer the script vow some real give and take. you are a libertarian. example right now of some of the exaggerations about what your organization does. this from think progress.org. it says:

brian: that doesn't seem like radical business plan. >> that's democracy in action. that's what we are supposed to do is challenge our government. certainly there are thousands and thousands of people in our district that believe there is just too much government. there is too much coming at us right now. steve: you know, a lot of supporters of the right who have gone to these town halls are being accused of being astro touch, -- astro turf. you are just one guy up in connecticut with a couple of dozen friends initially. you really embody, when i think about it, grass roots. you and some friends go down and see. this but now that you have been painted by the left as some high ranking government operative, what does that make you think? >> that makes me think that the argument on the other side isn't very strong if that's all you can do is despage me, lie about

me after you have interviewed me and ask me what our group is all about. no evidence we are tied to anything else. i just think it's a poor argument from the other side. they don't understand in the 21st century there is a new kind of power. it's organic from the bottom up. they are also accustomed to control from the top down. the ground is shifting underneath them and they don't recognize that. brian: you weren't characterized correctly but you are growing because of it? >> they give me the visibility. we do want to move forward and help the conservatives get the republican party back on its principles and drive it to success november 2010. steve: this from a libertarian. bob, thank you very much. >> thank you. brian: awful day made so much worse. a couple on the way to the funeral pulled over for not wearing seat belts. they missed the burial. that couple will join us right after the break. steve: first on this date back in 1992 the doors open at the mall of america in minnesota. the nation's largest shopping mall. brian and i have ridden the

roller coaster there. brian: we have gotten some gum there in one of the machines. number one song on in date in 1976, don't go breaking my heart by elton john and kiki de. she is my famous songstress. steve: favorite memo riff is getting gum at a mall? brian: pretty much, yes. . . .

>> a heart wrenching moment turned into a bigger nightmare for one family on their way to a burial. they were pulled over and ticketed by a police officer. brian: as a result, they missed their sisters burial. welcome to you, both. sorry about your sister and sorry about this entire incident. you did not have seat belts on, but when you explained to the officer where you were going, what did they say? >> well, there was not any response from him at the start. we told him that we were in a funeral procession. he just started asking us for our approval of insurance and vehicle registration. we went ahead and we gave it to him.

he took it from there and went back to his vehicle and started getting things are arranged so he could print out some tickets on us. he spent probably 10 to 15 minutes with us at the car. it took him 12 minutes to print out the tickets. when he returned to us, it was another five or 10 minutes. during this time, we missed the funeral and the burial. when we got ready to leave there, people were already coming back from the cemetery. so, we just turned around and went back to the catholic church where they were having a dinner after the funeral. >> he did not give you a chance to explain why you were not wearing a seat belts?

>> es no questions like that. he made a point to let us know that he was on overtime to give out tickets that day. brian: you must have been steamed. >> i did tell him when he came up from the car that we had just left the church and we just lost our sister. he said, that is to bed. he proceeded to tell us about a campaign in washington, about seatbelt violators. we said that we just came from the church and we had not even thought about it. it was so quick. he was coming towards us as we were approaching the freeway. we're going maybe 15 miles per hour. he whipped around in front of

the nephew and niece who were in the procession. he pointed at our seat belts. we put them on. we went through the light and he told us over and he kept us for least 30 or 40 minutes. >> what would you like to come out of this? what would you like to happen? >> we would like to get some empathy. of course, have the tickets thrown out because there were a total of 10 mistakes on the ticket themselves. he has us driving a different model car. he has two different model cars listed on the tickets. there are many mistakes. brian: you ever written letters to the court system and local tv stations. i understand that both of you want a copy of the dashboard camera. you did not feel like you got

the respect back. >> i do not feel that we got the respect from him. we have a lot of respect for police officers and we understand that they have our jobs, but the lack of compassion and empathy and even wanting to listen to us was not there with this officer. we do not understand it. brian: we will follow the story and i guess we feel bad about the loss of your sister. we will see how this turns out. straight ahead, you know that plan to buy jets to shuttle around members of congress? there's been a change of plan. >> the unbelievable story, a soldier who gave his life, saves a life. his heart is now beating in someone else's chest.

>> good morning, everybody. here is what is happening right now. eunice kennedy shriver was 88 years old. we're awaiting a press conference at a hospital in massachusetts. a live report for you in about two minutes. steve: it is probably a good time to adjourn the meeting when you have lost total control, right? today, it is president obama's turn. will he face the same angry crowds as we look live -- health-care protesters have already started lining up in portsmouth, new hampshire. a town hall meeting today. you will see it live here. brian: the heartbreaking story of a soldier who gave his life

to save another. fox and friends," need we say more? >> what is up? i am ll cool j. let the games began. brian: he gave me some of his action where. i did not use it until last night. i look fantastic in his stuff. >> you look fantastic? brian: i am going to throw away all of my gap stuff. steve: if you are just joining us right now, who is that gal in the center? that is dari alexander. she was right here on fox news

channel and then she got this big job at the number one station in new york city. she does the news. we are delighted that you joined us. brian: you met ernie. what could you tell us? dari: we dance all the time on the sets. brian: during the show? dari: during the show. i swear that we do. we have a good time. brian: i love to dance. to dance with ernie is not something that is on my book lists. -- my bucket list. steve: we have more on the passing of eunice kennedy shriver, but first we had to new hampshire. president obama is heading there

right now. he is holding a town hall on health care today. dari: set the scene for us, molly. >> the president will not be here for another four hours. the protesters and demonstrators are already out here this morning. we have a lot of health care advocates. they showed up very early this morning. they are here to push back against all the negatives when it comes to health care reform. as well as just regular health care advocates and workers, just small businesses and individuals. on the other side of the road, we have people who have come in as far away as maine who are saying they do not want this health care reform. they do not like come much money is being spent. this group of protesters on this side of the street -- if you look across the parking lot,

there is a set of trees way back over there. they tried to set up a box for that set of protesters. they fought back against where the police was initially putting them. right now, the street here leading up to the high school, lined on both sides with protesters. steve: they are banging the drum. brian: four hours before the president gets there. i wonder how many will be going inside. some sad news. eunice kennedy shriver has passed away. she died at a cape cod hospital. relatives have been at the hospital since last week. she is the sister of john f. kennedy. she is known for establishing the special olympics. her brother, ted kennedy, just released a statement on behalf of the family.

"in our family, she will be remembered as a loyal and loving sister, a treasured wife. we will always love her and cherished the beautiful memories of our years together. she was blessed with a long life, but for us, that time was still too short. she was 88 years old. there is a press conference at the hospital. we will bring it to you when it happens. dari: they will try to pull the eighth victim from the mangled wreckage 60 feet below the surface. strong currents force them out of the river. the ntsb will attempt to recover the wreckage. this morning, we are hearing more of the frantic 911 calls from the moment the plane and the helicopter collided. >> i just saw an airplane helicopter in the hudson river here. the location is river road and

forth approximately. an airplane just hit a helicopter. the helicopter went down into the water. the plane -- i'm not sure what happened. >> ok. stay on the phone while i connect you, ok? >> ok. dari: lawmakers are calling for something to be done about the crowd did hudson river corridor. steve: meanwhile this morning, world leaders speaking out against the sentencing of a nobel peace prize laureate. she has been sentenced to 18 more months under house arrest. the 64-year-old leader was punished from letting an american man stayed at her home after she swam -- after he swam to visit her. the american is set to spent

seven years behind bars. the sentence has sparked international protests and outrage. british and french leaders are declaring the punishments on just. brian: japan rocked by an earthquake near tokyo. that is the second earthquake there in two days. two nuclear reactors were set down for a -- were shut down for a safety check. the concern now is a possibility of landslides. every rain has fallen over the past several days. more is expected today. dari: police questioned and released a man who shot up day gym and then killed himself a week before the incident happened. he was never charged because a witness could not identify him.

police found a note that alluded to a grenade. they never found the actual device. last week, he walked into a gym and killed women and then himself. nine other women were injured. brian: please pass to keep the debt sealed while the investigation is going. get ready for a feature-length film about michael jackson hitting the big screen. sony pictures will release behind-the-scenes footage of his tour preparation. we have seen this before. those are your headlines. steve: a few corrections from your leaders in congress. yesterday, we told you about how apparently some people in the house appropriations committee on its own took this request from the pentagon for a number of new planes and they said, they need more planes, so let's

get them four more for a total of hundreds of millions of dollars. dari: i think it was eight jets. steve: this has become a huge political hot potato and an embarrassment for the democrats on this particular committee who went through with this. apparently, a congressman from georgia had asked for one more than the department had asked for. the democrats are saying, okay, if the pentagon does not want them, we will take them out. brian: senator mccaskill fought against it along with john mccain and others. remember when nancy pelosi said

this debate about health care and these forms are flat out on american? remember that? the deputy communications director at the white house corrected her, saying, with long tradition of a spirited debate. i think it is actually a pretty long tradition of people shouting at politicians in america. the president thinks that people want to come and have a spirited debate about health care, a real vigor is conversation about it, that is part of the american tradition and he encourages that. that is what he's going to get in new hampshire. steve: there are some people who are lined up to scream at him. it is interesting, though, regarding and to pelosi. she had said that -- we have a sound bite from 2003 when a member of her party was actually encouraging people to do that.

here is hillary clinton. >> i am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you are not patriotic. wishes stand up and say we are americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration. brian: wow, that was loud. dari: not as loud as the incident in africa. an incredible story of a fallen hero who saved a life and gives his art woman desperately in need. -- heart to a woman desperately in need. >> you want me to tell you what my husband thinks? my husband is not the secretary of state. i am. steve: that is straight ahead.

tell you my opinion. i will not be channeling my husband. brian: that is like a volcano ready to erupt. it was the one last thing -- the next person who has a question about her husband was going to get it. dari: do you think she has bill fatigue? brian: they requested him and he showed up. steve: he got all the headlines last week. some are saying that she was jet lag. others said -- dari: she is tired, it is probably very humid in the congo. steve: i have an idea. i think more chances of bill clinton diplomacy are not strong. brian: i will second you on

that. an incredible story. this fallen heroes saves lives and give say heart to a woman who desperately needs it. dari: clinical trials of the swine flu vaccine are coming to america. how will you feel if you do it? find out from two people who just got the vaccine yesterday. it's what doct most for headaches. for arthritis pain... in your hands... knees... and back. for little bodies with fevers.. and big bodies on high blood pressure medicine. tylenol works with your body... in a way other pain relievers don't... so you feel better... knowing doctors recommend tylenol... more than any other brand of pain reliever.

steve: sad news to report this morning. eunice kennedy shriver has died this morning. she passed away this morning at cape cod hospital in massachusetts. our boston affiliate is standing by. good morning to you. >> good morning. what happened was around 6:30

this morning, a family spokesperson confirmed the news for us, saying that eunice kennedy shriver died. that was around 2:00 this morning. the spokesperson said that most of her family was actually by her side when she passed. that was around 2:00. at this hour, all of the family is gone. we have been told that they left the hospital and they will not be doing any sort of interviews today. they did leave behind a statement. it says, "it is hard to believe eunice kennedy shriver went home to got this morning at 2:00. she was the light of our lives, a mother, grandmother, sister, and onto taught us by example and with passion. that statement goes on to describe her life, especially her involvement with the special olympics. she has been here for the past

several days. off and on, we have seen several family members come and visit her, including her daughter, maria shriver, the first lady of california. her son anthony and many of her grandchildren. again, eunice kennedy shriver passed away this morning right here at cape cod hospital. we are told that most of her family was by her side when she passed. they are no longer here at the hospital. they will not be doing any sort of interviews today. steve: reporting live from intelsat, thank you very much. this next story we're going to tell you about, it is every traveler's nightmare. dari: the smell of overflowing toilets in crying babies on an entire night. why were passengers held on the

plane for hours and hours? brian: i thought we had a bill of rights to protect us against that. there is just one problem. if they do not want to use it themselves, why should the rest of america? a congressman joins us shortly to talk about that push to make congress take the plan. steve: i am sticking around for that.

brian>> wide we need is health e reform and why do we need it? >> i believe we needed. >> boo, boo! lies! hear me speak! items wanted to give you a taste of it in case you have a health care at town hall meeting. brian: that airs every night around 11:30. steve: i do not think it was madame, i think it was ma'am. brian: it is a term of respect in the military. steve: democrats are pushing a public health care option, but there is just one problem. if they do not want to use it themselves, why should they force it on the rest of america?

dari: here is mr. everything. good to have you with us. >> good morning. dari: what made you come up with this idea? >> i am very concerned about statements that are made by those who are in favor of this public option saying that it is going to ed joyce, when it appears to many of us that it is going to actually reduce choices. so, i felt like there should be a litmus test. certainly, if this is such a great plan, why don't we, congress, who are putting it into effect, more or less, for it ourselves? i produced house resolution 615 this as if you vote for a public auction, you are willing to sign up for it. steve: there you go.

i know that a number of republicans have said, that is a great idea, we will sign up for it. what about on the democrats' side? how many have signed up for it? >> to date, let me add them up. zero. ba-dum-ching. i called the office of nancy pelosi, i called henry waxman's office. so far, i have no takers on the democrats' side. among the americans themselves, we have over 300,000 who have gone to flaminghouse.gov and how fast their congressmen to sign up for it. brian: you can exist with the whole country on the public option. don't hospitals and doctors need to make some private insurance with the public option? should there be one?

>> here is the crux of the problem. the idea that the president has he andrre is that public option will compete with private care. it is heavily subsidized by private insurance. even with that, it is going to run out of money in less than 10 years. if we expand medicare, we are going to drive the price of private insurance up to levels that are unaffordable. employers will have no choice but to push their employees into the public plan. that will pretty much kill off the private insurance market, except for the wealthy and congress. dari: let me ask you this. do you feel that the health-care system should be overhauled one way or the other? >> one of the main topics that i

ran for congress on was for health care reform. i have been a family physician for over 30 years. we have significant problems, problems with pre-existing illnesses, portability problems, tax deductibility, emergency rooms that are overflowing with the uninsured. we do not have to dismantle what is otherwise the best system in the world. we know this because people come here from all over the world. we do not have to dismantle a good system. the 10 million americans that want health insurance, but can't afford it because of pre- existing illness, usually small business owners or people who work for small businesses -- we can fix that. that is not a difficult thing to do. steve: you would like performed: just not this particular bill.

people want to sign your petition to get members of congress to sign up for this option, what is your web site? it is flaming.house.gov and we look forward to -- we will put people in touch with their congressman. brian: 25 minutes before the top of the hour. meanwhile, president obama will be in portsmouth, new hampshire this afternoon hosting a town hall meeting to support his -- to promote his health-care overhaul plan. he will explain his plan to aid in hundred people. lots of protesters are expected outside. it is the first of three town hall meetings for the president this week. he says he expects some dissension. steve: a federal judge refusing to approve bank of america's $33 million settlement.

the judge says that he needs more information before signing off. bank of america is still under fire for not telling shareholders that it was paying out millions in bonuses to merrill lynch brokers while the two companies were in talks to acquire merrill lynch. dari: crying babies and the smell of overflowing toilets for a night. that is what passengers had to go through. it happened saturday in rochester airport in minnesota. the plane was diverted because of thunderstorms. it just sat on the tarmac for hours. >> you are so exhausted, so you doze off, but you can't really sleep because babies are crying and the smells are getting worse. it is hard to sleep. you almost are just numb like, what is going to happen next? dari: passengers said that screeners had already gone home

for the day. the airline says, i'm sorry. brian: dozens of people are willing to take part in a swine flu vaccine trial. testing for treatment getting underway in eight american cities. we talk with two women who were among the very first to get the shots. >> what made me do it is that this is an opportunity to help test the vaccine so that it can be refined for the rest of the population and the rest of the nation. brian: volunteers will return several times to get more vaccinations and tests. doctors say that they hope to get the first batches of vaccine out in october. dari: breast-feeding might be the latest weapon against breast cancer for women who have a family history of the disease. when men who nursed their babies released three months found that

they cut their risk of breast cancer in half. the study is careful to say that it is not to the same for women without a history of breast cancer. steve: a state of emergency declared in upstate new york. every thunderstorms have caused two deaths. more than 20,000 people lost power in a local hospital had to be evacuated because of flooding. some roads are still impassible. more rain is expected today. brian: you have heard of cash for clunkers a dallas dentist has customized the project. he is calling hecash for chompers. dari: the doctor behind the

program and joins us live. it is good to see you. what made you think of this? >> we were sitting around the other day and we were talking about. offense. suddenly, i said i had to do something to help people in our community. my friend, a cosmetic surgeon, he said cash for chompers. that is where we started. steve: it could have been cash for canines, but people thought it might have been dog related. we understand that the response has been terrific. are you thinking about continuing it and perhaps even expand its? >> yes. as the phone calls are coming in, we're having a lot of good times with it. there is money for molars and cash for cavities. we always have fun with it. brian: please floss if you are

watching at home. what do you do with old dentures? do you hope to get a perfect fit with people who have the same palette? >> actually, we do not keep them. we do not need them. we let them keep them, actually. it is really funny because as people get older in our population, the teeth wear down. the light changes. we want to help them out quite a bit. dari: let me get this straight. brian comes in here with his dentures, hypothetically. is there a certain qualification that you have to meet like the cash for clunkers program? is there something special about brian's dentures? do they have to be 100 years old or 20 years old? >> that is a great question. actually, it is our dental incentive plan.

i will look at briant and we will talk. pardon me? steve: we like to trash talk on the set. >> an educated consumer always makes a good choice for himself. we always tell people make a good decision. brian: i am winning the battle against gingivitis as we speak. steve: thank you, doctor. have a great day. >> thank you, guys. good to see you. brian: meanwhile, a great story. a soldier who lost his life gave his heart to save another life. the woman who has his heart is joining us live next. ♪ and as you can see it kinda bites! ♪ ♪ so sing the lyrics with me: ♪ when your debt goes up your score goes down ♪ ♪ when you pay a little off it goes the other way 'round ♪ ♪ it's just the same for everybody, every boy and girl ♪
