mother during a bitter custody battle, taken to an italy away from his father, who you see here, who has sole custody and he's now in an air fannage in rome because he was taken away from his unfit mother. how the father is working to get him back. >> and also this morning, comprehensively, 50,000 men studied in this study, ask men.com put together the most comprehensive study on men, all the questions that women have been asking about men. >> it's so good. >> and some stuff is going to shock you, that's coming up in a little while. >> because these are the questions, ladies, you've always, always wanted to hear, which is, okay, so what do you really look for in a wife? with an is wife material, they ask. >> and i'm not buying it. >> oh, i am. >> they needed more than 50,000, we'll discuss that as a very intriguing study. i'm curious to hear what you learned in this, but we start with what we learned from the whole white house e-mail scandal. we found out on saturday who

sent out those e-mails, many of you have been out there wondering why did i receive an e-mail from the white house on why this health reform is a good plan? well, now we know the company behind it is gov delivery from minnesota. a lot of questions to be answered. how much taxpayer money, and why were some unsolicited. and clayton, you claim to know about the gov delivery system and why they sent folks e-mail. >> let's make it clear, when the mainstream media gets a tech story they do it wrong, think like g-mail, my gov has been used by the bush administration, by the obama administration, over 85 different agencies have used this service. fema sends out to e-mails to 200,000 some people when they get alert and use the service for that. how though do the e-mails get

on the list that my gov send out? . so gvo delivery gets the e-mail list froms other people, the service like using software, they don't put any names on the list. >> let me stop you there. they don't provide the lists, the white house did. >> right. >> well, the white house did or third party people. that's what we don't know. so it was a real question this morning, who put the names on the list? it's not gov delivery. they're just the service. >> okay, but i still don't understand because when you say it's like moth word when i type into microsoft word i'm not sending out an e-mail to people who didn't ask for one. >> my point is that microsoft's not to blame because you type something in microsoft word. you see what i'm saying? >> i see, so gov delivery did not compile the e-mail lists, another question needs to be asked. >> to dave's question, where does the money come from, right, initially whenever a new administration comes in, there's service they use to get the agriculture department, the boring stuff, right. fema the boring e-mail

services and clients. the national guard uses gov delivery to get hut lists. >> everyone, republican governors have used gov delivery as wellments here is what's interesting, a.c.l.u. says that despite gov delivery sending it out it's virtually the same as the white house sending it out. no difference between the white house sending it out or gov delivery. it begs the question, is this illegal? is this some sort of unauthorized lobbying on behalf of the white house? or have they done this in the past? we are going to have karl rove on later on to talk about whether or not this is common place or highly unusual. >> right, and speaking of lobbying, interesting story in the new york times today about tom daschle who we thought has been out of the game since he had that whole tax scandal. waste not of course nominated as the hhs secretary for

president obama, had that whole not paying his taxes thing. well, turns out he has had the president's ear all along on health care, all the while acting as what appears to be a lobbyist, although mr. daschle says he's not a lobbyist, he does get a substantial amount of money from a law and lobbying firm for the pharmaceutical industry. >> right, begs a serious question. here is a guy who, because of the tax issues we thought he's not involved in the process and brings up this sort of czar question, doesn't it, all the people who had the president's ear who is are involved in the process, who aren't nominated and don't have the approval process of congress, and we now know in the six months since he was not chosen as health secretary. >> not nominated. >> withdrawn. >> he's been on the phone regularly consulting with the president and those in congress with this. >> and says that the health care plan has his fingerprints all over it, particularly the

plan for the co-op instead of the government or public run option it was his idea two months ago to come up with co-opes and that's something that the clients of the lobbying firm for which he works, the health care clients really like, he says there's no conflict of interest because he says, tom daschle, his message is the same to everyone, whether he's talking to the president, to the senator, to the health care clients, to hospitals, the same is true we need health care reform and this-- >> but he's a lobbyist,'s not calling himself a lobbyist, but he is a lobbyist to the pharmaceutical industry. the same things that the democrats hammered the republicans for in the past, these conflicts of interest, these ties to lobbyists, the same type of things the republicans have been hammered for for years. >> right, we report, you decide. >> a story we're following for you, the 17-year-old girl from columbus, ohio who's been on the run, living down in florida right now, being protected there because she's fearing for her life.

she fears her patients are going to come after her and essentially kill her because of her switch to christiany. we are going to talk to coming up talking about the law, islamic law that she is most fearful of this morning as an honor killing. we will a get an update coming up. >> and in the meantime, we'll talk about the weather, see how hurricane bill is doing out there. hi, rick. >> moving away from land now, that's the good news, heading up to the canadian maritime. here is the salt picture. and in the last few frames you see taking the big easterly jog and exactly what we expected the storm to do. that's good news. i tell you what, sometimes the forecast model on some hurricanes are not all that accurate. this has been following the path we thought tw bring. we've seen rain in cape cod and in fact three inches of

rainfall during the overnight area and that's gusts up to 28 to 25 miles per hour, that's not tropical storm force, but we'll deal with the heavy and pound surf today. one more day probably day out of the water in the sea boards and some of those waves are making their way across the parts of the southeast. this is going to bring more rain showers into the southeast. if you're to the north of this, areas like georgia, alabama, mississippi and anywhere north, you'll have one of the most beautiful days, very, very dry and temps are nice. a little bit of rain in texas today and rain across parts of the west and this is nice, bringing in cooler air, back to you guys. >> that weather delayed the president a couple of hours headed out to martha's vineyard. i'm sure they'll encounter a little vacation weather. >> fbi director robert mueller is expressing outrage over the release of the only man convicted in the lockerbie

bombing. in an unprecedented move he wrote a letter to the scottish official who agreed him. in it, mueller called it a mockery of justice and claimed it gave comfort to terrorists everywhere and questioned the insensitivity of the move pointing to the grief and answeringer of the victim's families and the british government is denying there is any link to his release and any potential oil deal. for inmates are still in the hospital after the fiery prison riot in kentucky. a group of inmates set fire to a number of buildings, six were destroyed and 700 prisoners were bused to other jails. officials are not saying what sparked the riot. no law enforcement workers are hurt. a massive wildfire continuing to rage near athens, greece this morning, officials declared a state of emergency and evacuated hundreds of people in the outskirts of the city, look at that. no casualties reported, but

dos of homes destroyed and officials say flames are threatening some 2000-year-old archeological sites. those are your headlines. >> all right, we have been talking about tarp and whether or not small businesses have been helped at all by all of this stimulus. >> right. >> all this have tarp money being thrown out there, and we decided we'd bring in fox business network nicole petallides. nicole is here, come in this morning. >> good morning everybody. >> thanks for getting up early. >> a pleasure. >> i love being with you guys! >> oh, thanks, intravenous coffee, please. >> we do it. >> okay, now, there is a report that appears to be a bit delayed in the fourth quarter of 2000, just released on how all of these bailouts and tarp has held maybe not so much small businesses. >> have they been helped at all? >> no, small businesses in particular, those one get hit the hardest, they're not getting the money.

tough to get the credit and when your smaller business, when you're firing people in a smaller business, it makes a bigger difference. if you're a big company and i fire two people, you have 2000 employees, it doesn't make as big a difference when you have five people and firing one person. so, we are seeing the rise in that particular group in the small businesses. >> isn't this where the money needs to be targeted? because the financial times this week is reporting that over in england they've actually been able to weather economic problem they've gotten money, stimulus money has spent it all and a lot has gone to small businesses and the small businesses survived. we've only spent about 10% of the stimulus money. >> that's right. >> is that why? >> that's definitely one of the reasons why. reading through all the papers and talking about all of this, and basically it's talking about the fact that there is a lot of money to be lent out to these small businesses, but it hasn't been done. so, you know, there's 10,000 loans that can happen here from the small business administration, they've only

done-- and it's up to $35,000 for loans, so they've om had a small portion of that. >> yeah, why, why hasn't it been done? >> it's so slow and talking about folks in here, restaurant owners and people with small businesses and how they're just suffering just waiting for the money. it just seems there is that money available. the government is making money available, but very slow to the game. i know we are going to be talking about cash for clunkers, it's the same idea. the money is available, but it's slow getting to the folks that need it. >> right, typical government bureaucracy that everybody is familiar with and makes people nervous about undertaking some sort of bigger project. >> and when you're a small business you're waiting for that money. we're talking about $35,000, we're not talking about you know, a hundred million dollars, that little portion of money is what can make or break your business. >> we'll leave it there. and much more with nicole coming up and including this, it's not just cash for clunkers going away, other programs about to expire. how will this impact you and

your wallet if you're thinking about buying a house or a car? >> ap also she's married to one of hollywood's most iconic producers ever. candy spelling will join us and the ongoing feud she has with her daughter tori. say h. - the budget masters. - ♪ yeah yeah the knock-out artists who are finding more ways to spread their dollar further. - to bolder color in less time. - ♪ are you feeling it? say hello to newer ideas and lowered prices, enabling more people to turn more saving into more doing. - that's the power of the home depot. - ♪ are you feeling it? try out different colors with new 8-ounce paint samples at a new lower price of only $2.94.

>> as you may have heard, the government will end its popular cash for clunkers program tomorrow night, but there's also a handful of other stimulus programs that are on schedule to be axed within the next year, how can you still take advantage before it's too late? >> good question, we are back with fox business network's nicole petallides. good morning, nicole. >> good morning, gentlemen. >> there are a number of problems out there. cash for clunkers ends at 8 p.m., but other great programs that haven't ended yet. >> that's right, you have $8,000 if you're a new home buyer and also, you get, forget about cash for clunkers, which ends tomorrow night, but you still will get a tax deduction for state and local tabs if you buy a car. so these are the programs. >> regardless of cash for clunkers. >> regardless of cash for

clunkers, end end of november and december respectively and cash for clunkers ends tomorrow and hearing this weekend as i was coming in in the car. in the staten island, selling 30 to 40% more cars, everybody is rushing for cash for clunkers, one of the big, big problems is that the dealers are not getting the money. >> 7% of them say that. >> i was going to say 3% in some cases, so 7%, what's the difference, how about is00%? if you own a car dealership, you want that money from the government, just like what we were saying in the last segment that these programs are wonderful and they get the economy going, but they're a little slow to the punch to actually have them happen. >> right, of course, there's money they may not have had otherwise because the sales have been spiked by the program. >> and they get strapped for cash the dealerships, they're dirk it out. giving out the vehicles, giving out the bargains-- >> they bought the inventory. >> right, they're waiting for the money. >> let's talk about the new home deduction, real quick

$8,000. >> first time home buyers. income qualifiers, make less than a certain number. >> i don't know about the actual income part of it, but as far as we have a been getting the statistics lately, seeing single family homes doing a little better as far as sales. yeah, one of the things though as we look at the new homes sales and existing home sales in particular is that everything is beaten down. i mean, a lot of it is foreclosures, a lot of it are distressed homes or prices reduced, but regardless, it's moving again finally. >> finally. >> i was reading some headlines this morning and says the global economy is emerging from recession thanks to government stimulus. well, thank you, let's let it happen, but i think that with a lot of these programs, maybe we could let them, we were talking about cash for clunkers, ending tomorrow and the other programs, and tax cuts, let's let them end and then we'll see in six months if we need them again, rush them again and let's keep putting the money in there. >> turn off the spigot. >> nicole petallides thanks as

honest. >> and health care now, back in 1994, tennessee actually launched a very ambitious government insurance program to cover the uninsured. the plan ten-careful filled the mission, but nearly bankrupted the entire state. now leaders are speaking out saying that president obama's plan may be just as dangerous. >> and was the congressman who workeds a physician during ten-care, phil rhodes joins us live now. good morning, congressman rowe. >> how are you this morning? >> i'm well. i'm interested in your experience as a doctor back in the '90s when ten-care was implemented. we know that it insured half a million people in tennessee who didn't previously have insurance. how did it work for you as a doctor? >> well, basically, alisyn, what happened was, you heard the same rhetoric that you hear today, whereas we had escalating health care costs and we wanted to manage the

cost and tennessee is not a wealthy state, so, rather rapidly, a plan was put in place by the government and the legislature called tenn care and got a waiver from hhs to implement this particular experiment in health care reform and what happened was, we had about eight different plans that were to complete with each other for your business and over time, at that point in time, the state was spending about 2.5, 2.6 billion dollars on health care. and between that and 2004, about ten, 11 budget years later, our costs went up over over 8 billion. tripled 8.5 billion, tripled the cost. what happened was about 45% of the people who got on tenn care had private health insurance, but dropped it. the plan was a very rich plan. it provided very generous benefits, first dollar coverage for prescription drugs, and when we stepped back and at it, it was not surprising it was overutilized when it didn't cost anything. >> okay. >> that was in a nutshell what

the plan was. >> congressman you've read the entire health care bill that the obama administration is trying to push through. how similar is it to what tenn care was when it was bankrupting the state and how does it apply? >> when i got to d.c., i asked the question, what exactly is this plan? someone finally sat down and said what we are going to have, we are going to have a public option that competes out of this exchange on private, with preeft companies. and i said, wait a minute, we tried that before. >> they said what do you mean. >> it's called tenn care. ment caveat never explained. when we looked at tenn care, it covers less than 60% of the cost of providing the care. medicare covers between 80 and 90% of the cost of providing the care and uninsured, in tennessee not 47 million, but nationwide, they cover some percent of the cost. you shift the cost to private health insurers, they subsidies the difference in the costs and this is exactly

what's going to happen with the third public plan that the government will put out there. it will not pay the cost of care and let me just make this very clear to our viewers out there. in my opinion what ultimately will happen, what ultimately will happen is once you have that cost shifting occurring, more and more businesses will drop to the public option which won't pay the costs and finally when you have a single pair system with the government paying all the costs you'll ration care, it's done everywhere it's done. >> that's the fear of critics of this. tenn care lasted about ten years and almost bankrupted the state and it was back in 2005. congressman phil roe, thanks for joining us with your front row seat on this. >> thanks very much. >> coming up fbi director robert mueller is speaking out about the lockerbie bomber's release. we'll let now exactly what he said in a scathing letter and a new theory why this

very unprecedented for the fbi director, normally reserved and rare speaks out passionately about issues. he's serious, that's not all in the story today. ka d kadafi thanked gordon brown, thanked his friend for the release of the lockerbie bomber, opens up questions, was there a some sort of deal between libya ap the u.k. >> and because of the heroes welcome, he deplaned and hundreds of people were cheering him on. what got me the guy behind throwing the confetti behind the guy as he got off the plane and robert mueller finishes the letter, as aly pointed out unprecedentedment finishes by saying, i ask you this, where is the justice in all of this? where is the justice? you know, the fbi works tirelessly around the clock to try to catch terrorists, domestic and foreign terrorists and this is the

sort of stuff that gets under their skin. they work tirelessly to put guys like this behind bars, only to get them released to a hero's welcome. >> it's a personal cause, because he was the justice department back in 1988 when this happened and he was part of the investigating team that spent years trying to find the culprit of who blew up to the plane and that he well remembers the victims, their pain and the horrible, really, devastating evidence. >> yeah. >> that was surrounding this case. >> and quickly, one more thing on the kadafi angle. some point out there could have been a deal based on oil and that's in fact why gordon brown may have pushed for the release of the bomber and that's the problem with kadafi thank list quote, friend. they want him to condemn release of the terrorist and haven't heard a word yet. >> first, let's check the headlines. >> what's happening, a massive man manhunt is underway in

canada for accused murderer and reality tv star ryan alexander jenkins. he starred in the show "megan wants a millionaire" he's accused of killing the body of his wife. her body was found in a suitcase this is gruesome with fingertips cut off and treat pulled out. police believe he fled to canada and may be hiding out in the vancouver area where his mother owns a condo. lawyers for guantanamo bay inmate can question the accused master mind of the 9/11 attacks. attorneys can submit written questions to kalid sheaikh mohamm mohammed. as far as the deal, prosecutors are allowed to review the answers first to remove any national security information. and president obama is headed to martha's vineyard today.

somewhat or very important that an a woman has a wife potential. >> again, a girlfriend? >> why waste your time dating a girl. >> that's what we do, waste our time when we're young. >> our average is 27, 28 years old and that's the age when you're done, what not, and looking for the-- >> a blockbuster question, if there was no chance of your partner ever finding out. >> good one. >> how likely would you be to cheat on her? what did you find? >> most guys would not be. would not be likely to. either because they respect her too much or because their personal morals, would betray. >> it's at 70%. >> yeah. >> let's be clear, they were anonymous and names weren't attached. >> nothing to attach it, they're anonymous. >> how many dates should the men pay for, men said. >> men said majority until the relationship was established and 30% said the entire

>> she spent her life as one of hollywood's successful tv

producers and writes all about it. candy spelling, the wife of the late aaron spelling, author of "stories from candy land". thank you. >> nice to see you, too. >> we had an interesting situation with tori i want to tell you about. she came in here to be on the show we were going to interview her about her reality tv show and about her book and when she found out i was going to ask her a question about you and her strained relationship. she got very emotional and upset and ended up walking out of our interview because she was so distraught. she seemed genuinely upset about this ongoing feud with you and i wonder if there's any way you two can patch it up js i would love that. try to reach her all the time. never any response to my e-mails, i text her, i call her. >> is that right? you have reached out to her. >> oh, my goodness, yes. >> because all the general

public knows about the letter you sent to tmz which you framed to middle age reality tv show stars like my daughter which i thought was not the warmest way it reach out to her. what was that about? >> that was about they've been using me as a punch line on a scripted reality show and i think that's a little unfair and it's just, you know, i've been quiet and i think that there's a time when you have to, you know, answer back, at some point. they're using me, you know, as their script every week. >> i know that you haven't met your grand daughter who's now more than a year old. what do you want to say to tori and your granddaughter so you can perhaps patch this up. >> all i can say is i love you and i would love to have a relationship with them, but i want them it turn the cameras off on the show and let's do it privately. >> understood. let's talk about your book. you famously had a very happy

marriage for many, many decades with aaron spelling. what was your secret, do you think, to such a hollywood marriage you think is so rare. >> not fight. >> how do you avoid that. >> we rarely had a disagreement with anything. it was always aaron's way. >> that's one way to solve it. >> yes, that's true. >> and you are of course, trying, attempting, as everyone knows to sell your 123 room home. it is 70,000 square feet. what do you do with all of that space? >> well, first of all, there isn't 123 rooms. i mean, the rooms are much more spacious and i haven't counted them, but there isn't even a hundred rooms so-- ments do you take a trolley from one end of the home to the other? >> no, that's my exercise. i walk through with my white gloves and i check everything, no, kidding. >> you're selling it for 150

million dollars. in this economy. that can't be easy. do you have any takers? >> no, well, it's only been on the market a couple months and it's, you're right there isn't a big market for a house like mine, but there will be, that person that just wants that much acreage and flat land and a big house to go with it. >> aaron died sadly in 2006. what is your life like now being single in los angeles? >> i'm dating, but you know, i feel-- we had a magical marriage and i don't think that that's ever going to happen a second time. i really-- i can't even ever see myself getting married. >> it's very interesting window into the life of the rich and famous, it's called "candyland" and thanks for coming on and best of luck with patching everything up with tori. i hope she's listening. >> i hope she is, too, alisyn, i'd really love this to work.

>> thanks for coming on. >> coming up on the show, an update on the heart breaking story of a father fight to go get his son back from the italian government. we'll have the latest on saving liam on fox business businesses-- "fox & friends," we will be right back. 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

>> and initially, the, the visits were not too bad and i had hoped working within the system i might be able to get him, but he has really deteriorated. >> that's michael mccarte, the american father trying to get his eight-year-old son back from the italian social servicesment. >> joining sus a news week correspondent and she has been following liam's story, good morning, barbie. >> good morning. >> so, since we broke the story here on "fox & friends" two sundays going tremendous explosion of media in the states and we understand also in rome and here the american father we're seeing on the screen right now with liam has a tremendous level of sympathy from the press. what's the feeling in italy of among the press? >> i think that's definitely the same situation here. and i suppose here to a certain extent the sympathy for liam. this is a country that

embraces children and childhood and they believe, italians in children believe always a child should be with a parent and within a family and not growing up in an institution and which is definitely the case with liam right now. he's in an orphanage and really, more of a halfway house for children who have been taken away from their parents for one reason or another and i think that everyone recognizes the situation that the father actually has legitimate custody of this child and liam is caught in an italian bureaucratic nightmare that every italian understands. the country is really mired in a bureaucracy, a very tedious to get simple things accomplished and this is a very complicated casements you say it's complicated and say that the italian people are very aware of the situation and who has rightful custody, but does the social services of italy. to they have any idea who has proper custody and have they been responsive to michael at all? >> well, i think what's

happened here is that the italian social services system, they're following a set of rules, a protocol, that deals with national custody and that deals with situations where a child is taken away from the mother. and i think they're just simply following the set of rules and in a very lethargic fashion and going along, busine business, you know, day-to-day, what needs to be done on this case. i think it's simply bureaucracy at this point. i think everyone recognizes in the united states, custody has been given to liam's father and in italy, you know, it's going to take a while for them to get to that box on the piece of paper in a procedure they have to follow. >> i know that you have driven by the orphanage where liam was held for the past five months. we know everything shuts done in august in italy. and his whereabouts are

unknown. but tell us about the setting. >> it's an austere setting. modern building not a lot of greenery, it's in rome, and outskirts of the city. it's not a friendly, happily painted place like you might expect and more importantly, it's a facility that caters to children in troubled situations, while there is playground equipment, these are children in distressed situations and liam, who has parents, one parent who sort of on the run, she's got an international-- >> sure, and mentally unfit as courts found her in italy. and then one loving father here in america who's desperate to get him back. barbie, thanks so much for joining us with your insight how this is playing in rome and we also know that italy reopens, basically, testimony on monday and hopefully, that this log jam will be broken. barbie from news week, thanks

so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> all right. let's head in to dave in the green room. >> hi, guys, intriguing story there. coming up on the program, a young girl fears for her life because of simply converting to christiany, we'll update you on that case and tell you what exactly is an honor killing. also, a marine corps vet, slamming a washington state congressman at another heated town hall. >> for our health insurance, thank you, it's not your right to decide whether or not i keep my-- >> much more from that marine coming up as "fox & friends" continues. from my restaurant, i love showing bailey how special she is. yes, you are. i know exactly what you love, don't i? - [ barks ] - mmm. aromas like rotisserie chicken. and filet mignon. yeah, that's what inspired a very special dry dog food.

up. >> our slogan from steve in wilmington, north carolina, forget the showers and more split end, spend your hours with "fox & friends." >> don't shower. >> don't shower at all. >> we don't. >> the best morning show. >> it's time for "fox & friends." . >> it is indeed. >> oh, welcome to our conversation that we have every morning about this time. >> what was exasperation we heard. >> that we revealed to the audience that we don't shower. >> that's huge. >> well, that's-- >> that's right. >> thank you, guys. >> hey, coming up this morning, we're talking about this on the big show, more obligation, president obama taking a different tactic with health care reform. this is what happened under the clinton administration, they tried the moral obligation argument that we have a moral obligation to help those who can't help those with health care reform and president obama trying

that. and we'll discuss that with a panel weighing out. >> and we had ask men.com on earlier, explaining to you some of the most vaunted questions women have about men and we'll flip it over. what is important to women and one part that might really surprise you is how important sex is. in fact, it's not very important, it seems. >> well. >> staying hydrated is more important. >> drinking water might be more important. >> bottled water? >> we'll explain. >> i have questions for you. i'll help you. in the meantime, if you watched our show you met this young woman named ashley kenny, she wore and designed a controversial t-shirt to a tea party and then to a town hall meeting that says rip the u.s. constitution. it got a lot of attention and yesterday, on our show, it got a real lot of attention. let's take a listen to what

ashley told "fox & friends" yesterday. >> when i made the shirt, cap and trade, health cares. i felt smothered by the government, and you can't know what's in either billen have an overwhelming impact on every one of us. the constitution is meant to insure that the government is never going to run the people and i think that the government is smothering the people. >> so we have to tell you, on the back of the t-shirt read a ronald reagan quote i don't in this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem. >> turns out after the hit, we did not crash the website, but so many people wanted that t-shirt, 200,000 hits on her website in the five minutes after doing this. >> oh, my gosh. >> that is maybe good news. some more good news, she was getting letters and face books from the troops in iraq telling her that they may-- she made them proud to fight for our country. she was moved by that.

well, you can get these t-shirts. it will be a bit after delay because she's very overwhelmed. she did not plan on this taking off so fast. you can go to this website, but slow down. okay? it's matter now.org, you'll probably crash it here in a moment of moments, but she is working to get these t-shirts printed as quickly as possible and getting them out to you, all of you viewers who have been asking for them. >> i've learned a couple of things here, first of all, we should come up with a product. second, she is a college student. i mean, the ingenuity. she said she just made the t-shirt because that's how she felt and now it's become a cottage industry. >> i jumped on matter now.org. take a close-up. >> crashed again. >> "fox & friends" crashed her website. >> our viewers passionate people. >> she's working with somebody to retool and do what tech people do. >> i don't know, but i think

she might be on the geo cities list. and we should tell you what's happening, not using servers or showing up to town hall meetings. congressmen on both side saying it's summer we are going to phone it in going to be easier than showing this video we've been seeing from the fiery town hall meetings lately and in fact, a new crop of congressmen deciding not to do public town hall meetings, but instead using the telephone where people will be able to gather and yell into a speaker phone and we saw some earlier stuff this week. >> that's what's happening with the congressman brian bayer a congressman, says he can reach 10,000 constituents this way, the last one he had in person, 2800 people showed up and it was extremely fiery. in fact, there was a marine corps vet that showed up and let him have it. let's listen. >> i heard you say about educating our children, indoctrinating our children, whatever you want to call.

>> i didn't say indoctrinating. >> stay away from my kids. >> the nazis were the national socialist party. they were-- they took over the finances, they took over the car industry, they took over health care, in that country. (cheers) >> and nancy pelosi wants to find a swastika, maybe the first place she should look is the sleeve of her own arm. >> clearly the government takeover is making people nervous. again, i think the swastika makes a lot of people uncomfortable with where this debate has gone. >> do you think? i mean, is this constructive? i understand that everybody's angry and certainly i'm grateful for his service, he is a disabled vet, but is it time to have a moratorium on the nazi talk? he said that nazi pelosi has a swastika on her arm. that's not constructive. a lot of people say he's not

the only person. >> you can't get more conservative than charles krauthammer. how it will effectively affect americans down the line. let's leave out the nazi sidewalk and the death panel talk and erroneous and have a constructive discussion about it and wally hearder says-- take this dave. >> a congressman from california again, not just ordinary citizens. this is a congressman who said this, quote, our democracy has never been threatened as much as it is today. . >> so, again, not just ordinary citizens that are fired up, but it is clear that the president is kind of losing control of the message here. regardless of what we do or do not want the folks to say, is losing the message, he's on defensive. 36% of independents support this health care reform and that's a bad number if you're president obama. >> it's worse if you have the likes of columnist paul krugman in the new york times

op-ed talking about the loss from progressives and he's feeling maybe they've abandon what he ran on. the core principal value of progressives. and the message getting lost and krugman goes so far, some of his speeches as of late and columns as of late and op-eds, almost look likes it's been written by committee so the president may be on this vacation, maybe is trying to retool his message and work on this. >> one would imagine. >> in the meantime, let me tell you your headlines at this hour. south korea is honoring former president kim due jong, and north korean leader kim jong-il sent a group to the service. details of the conversation remained a secret, but it's considered a sign that the reclusive north is softing its tone. four prison inmates are still

in the hospital following the riot in kentucky. they torched six buildings and 700 inmates bused to different prisons. other housed in temporary quarters. officials are not saying what started the riot. no law enforcement officials were hurt. and there's a massive wildfire that has forced more than 10,000 people to evacuate areas near athens greece this morning, officials declared a state of emergency and so far no casualties reported, but dozens of homes have been destroyed and officials say flames are threatening 2,000 archeological sites. the vacation on the vineyard is on tap for the first family. the obama vacation delayed because of hurricane bill. they're headed out for a week long get away, president obama's first official vacation since taking office and scheduled to arrive on the vineyard at about 3 p.m. eastern. that island will not know what hit it. with all of the entourage. bill clinton used to vacation

there, also, so the island is used to it, but that was a-- he might be playing department of with tiger woods, the rumors are. >> let's talk about the story i teased at the top of the show and want to get your response to it. a u.s. clinic in the united states, won't be doing this for united states citizens, but is doing it for british parents who want to choose the sex of their child. we have laws in the united states. can't do it here. however, this u.s. clin he can allowing british parents to choose through genetic engineering, the sex of your child. >> how about this. >> it's cawed pgd, pre-implantation genetic diagnosis. the interest, dr. jeffrey steinberg here in new york has a clinic that he is performing this for british citizens. let us know on the e-mail, on twitter, on facebook, do you think this is a good practice? i can't imagine many people like this one. >> yeah, this is exploittation of what pgd was designed for, that is to make sure that your fetus doesn't have any sort of

congenital diseases or-- i know that people who have perhaps a history of tayesaks rely on this. but to choose the sex of your babies, is a slippery slope, do you want only blond babies or green eid babies. even the pope says this is obsessed by the search for a perfect child and who plays god here, and leave it up to nature and let it take its course. and when you look at it in a lab. >> i worry in asia what they'll do with the technology. time will tell. and a check of bill and looks like it's slowing down. >> winds are making an easterly turn and nova scotia and newfoundland probably won't be affected as dramatically as we thought.

and a lot of people in the northeast have been brutalized with the hot and temperatures and humidity recent, right, guys, this is about to change. the dew point measures how much moisture is in the air and the dark green is an offensive air mass and that's going to move off by monday and tuesday and improve. and temperatures are warm by the summer, a lot better. here is bill on its way and rain showers. >> i was watching rick earlier, the guy is amazing, now why, he does the graphics. >> he draws them with a magic marker, i saw that. >> a with a crayon. >> thanks, rick. >> cash for clunkers ends tomorrow will you still get a good deal at this hour and will the dealers get the money from the government? >> and is former daughter chelsea clinton going to the chapel as early as today. rumors swirling about a possible wedding today, even this weekend. martha's vineyard where the

. >> welcome back. cash for cash for clunkers ends tomorrow night at eight o'clock. is there a mad rush to turn in cars for cash before the deadline? are there still good deals out there and are dealers finally getting paid. >> we're joined by reporter at a jeep dealership in southfield, michigan. good morning to you. is there anyone showing up there this morning? >> welsh not this morning. the only people you'll see here at the chrysler derp today, probably people who work here. the reason they've been packed, been slammed the last few days and so when this place finally opens it won't be to the public they're closed here in metro detroit on sundays. yesterday though this dealership decided to end the cash for clunkers program, the right here that basically said we have way too much paper work and too much back flow of that and so basically yesterday around three o'clock in the afternoon. shut their dares and said forget about it, we're done.

that parking lot by the way was packed and has been the past few days with people trying to take advantage of this. as you know, more than 480,000 people took advantage of the cash for clunkers program. in the end though, a lot of dealers say they weren't getting paid. talked to one chrysler dealership, they told me that out of the 40 cars they've sold under the cash for clunkers program, they only got paid on several so they decide today end the program altogether on monday, a week early and this dealership behind me basically said we don't have any more time. we really need to kind of get down to business here and do all that paper work, paper work that needs to be done by monday night at eight o'clock so a lot of people have been rushing out to dealerships, yesterday was a big day in the motor city. people heading out. bottom line, guys, it wasn't the kind of boon that a lot of people hoped it would be for detroit. of course, chrysler and gm having filed for bankruptcy. the manufacturer couldn't pump the number of cars in the dealerships. who ended up on top, toyota

corolla, a lot of people, including laid off auto workers, saying they weren't happy the way they benefitted detroit. >> a lot of foreign automakers took advantage of that program. at that particular dealership, did they get paid on their clunkers and did they in particular rule this program a success? you seem to hear both sides of the argument on that. >> you know, it's interesting, we stopped by that chrysler dealership that i talked to you about, the 40 cars only getting paid on seven. they are literally on the phone, trying their best on friday to say, hey, guys, what do you think, what about more of these payouts? we don't have enough. bottom line is the gm derp would he talked with said it was a great success, a wonderful success they actually got paid on their cars and they are going to extend their program even further. >> oh, wow. >> on their own dime. >> both sides of this. from detroit, michigan, thanks so much for your report, we appreciate it. >> all right. coming up president obama calls on religious leaders to

help him pass the health care, calling it, quote, a moral obligation. >> the thing i've been asking myself and dave, what do women really want? >> i don't know, i have no idea. >> you're probably the wrong perp to ask. we'll run down a list of priorities shocking to both dave and myself. ♪ oh announcer: say hello to the can-doers. - the budget masters. - ♪ yeah yeah the knock-out artists who are finding more ways to spread their dollar further. - to bolder color in less time. - ♪ are you feeling it? say hello to newer ideas and lowered prices, enabling more people to turn more saving into more doing. - that's the power of the home depot. - ♪ are you feeling it? try out different colors with new 8-ounce paint samples at a new lower price of only $2.94.

>> president obama has been reaching out to america's religious leaders in an effort to boost support for health care reform. >> these are all fabrications that have been put out there in order to discourage people from meeting what i consider to be a core ethical and moral obligation, that is that we look out for one another, that i am my brother's keeper, i am my sister's keeper. and in the wealthiest nation on earth right now we are neglecting to live up to that call. >> but with the democrat' history of enforcing separation of church and state, is this a hypocritical move? i'm joined in d.c. by former pennsylvania senator rick santorum and radio talk show host bill press and in new york, father jonathan morris. gentlemen, thank you for joining me this morning.

>> hi, alisyn, good morning. >> bill, start with you, you heard president obama, he said passing this a moral obligation and engaging the religious leaders to help him. is this crossing a line? >> i don't think so. first i want to put it quickly in context, we're talking about an intersection of faith and politics and we're dealing with this 250 years and haven't got it right and we're always talking about it and this is a good example. he think the key here is that health care or healing the sick, has always been a mission of people of faith for centuries, look at the religious hospitals, look at the people who made it a mission to take care of this sick. so this great country of ours, 47 million people would have no health insurance, i think for people of faith that's a moral obligation to try to do something about it. okay, bill, let me stop you there, and senator santorum, you remember when president

bush passed his faith-based initiative trying to help get nonprofit charities, some of them christian, the media cried foul. >> well, a couple of things, first, bill makes my point, which is that people of faith have been doing this for a long time and they haven't asked the government to do it. that it's been something that people of faith felt an obligation and it is a moral obligation, but it not one that you pass off to the government to do. so, he's asking a group of people, but i think, you know, there may be, obviously, liberal evangelicals and some my agree. but many feel it's a moral personal obligation. as far as appealing to religious leaders. he says it's a fabrication abortion is not covered unthis legislation, it's not a fabrication, it's covered under the plan. you can't make a moral claims to religious leaders pro-life

and providing heb, and at the same time provide health care to kill children. >> father, do you see hipocracy, the media, hue and cry when president bush tried to do it and now nobody is objecting to president obamaments may be hipocracy in the media. let's be clear, there's nothing wrong whatsoever with president obama involving religious leaders in discussion on what truly is a moral and ethical situation. we want him to do that. what we don't want him to do, however, is to say, there father, pass my legislation, because you have a moral obligation. that is simply not being honest. not being honest at all and i'd like to make sure that the president is willing to involve religious leaders on other issues that he says are important. not just when he wants to pass his legislation. >> the pew research-- >> alisyn. >> i want to speak directly to your question. the difference with the president bush's faith-based initiative.

that was government and this is rick's point, too, this was government money, u.s. taxpayer dollars going out to religious organizations. this is totally different. father is right, what the president is doing is saying, you guys are interested in health care, here is one proposal i've got, you want it know about, i'd love to have your support. >> the president is also suggesting that all of these things are fabrications. >> well, they are. >> no, they're not. let's take a look, bill, is there a very clear conscience protection in this bill? the answer is when you read it no there's not. the president saying don't worry about it in practice it's not going to be a problem, but. >> you know, rick. >> and simply is not true. >> yeah, i don't want to debate that legislation now, but that's for the people of faith to decide. they can support it or don't support it. that's another conversation. now we're talking whether people are faith should be involved in some mrel issues, with a moral dimension, war,

torture or-- >> and the president has to be honest about what he says to be fabrication and. >> he is. >> and senator san tore u of m, we owe awe response for next time. thank you. >> the potential case after honor killing in the u.s. waleed ferris will join us why one florida teenager fears for his life from her own father. >> president obama on martha's vineyard on the beautiful island south of cape cod. paying $8 a day for lunch can add up fast. so i'm packing my own lunch now-- for less than $3. thanks to walmart. just two times a week saves my family over $500 a year. save money. live better. walmart. gathering dust, as pollen floats through the air.

>> hey, welcome back to "fox & friends." clayton morris, alisyn camerota and dave briggs, thank you for being herement we told you about the questions women had about men and we owned answered the men questions earlier and now we have a new study in a little while. all the questions we wanted to know about women. >> which is going to open up a lot of questions to the only woman on this couch. >> yeah. >> because it's a bit confusing, at least to us guys. we didn't find what secretary we were looking for-- >> i'm going to speak for all woman kind this morning and explain to you how women tick. >> you're going to do it?

>> i must, because clearly you guys are confused. >> we'll always be confused. first, let's talk about hurricane phil moving away from martha's vineyard in time for president obama's family vacation on the island. and rick got a look at the country as well. >> it is, certainly looks like a nice vacation spot. take a look at the weather map. hurricane bill making it very close to the area, but pulling off shore at last look, it was about 220 miles to the east of nantucket ap continues to pull off toward the east and areas of nova scioscia and newfoundland seeing effects. areas of maine, as you move to the south. there's a cold front that's moving on through and we are going to see the rain showers across the coastal areas of the carolinas and across parts of the florida. we'll have showers ap thunderstorms as well, but this front is far to the south and anywhere to the north of the showers you see in

florida, still, a spectacular day. across parts of the west, we've got a few showers that moved through overnight into texas, unfortunately not enough to help with the drought, but rain across areas of the west where we need it. lake tahoe and nevada, that is welcome. temperature-wise for your day today. here is a look at your highs. we are going to be seeing absolutely one of the best days you've seen in a long time. areas of chicago all the way towards atlanta and memphis today. temps into the 80's. phoenix back towards 100. for your day tomorrow, we are going to warm up just a little bit back across areas of the southeast, and back into the mid to upper 80's, so enjoy today while you can. take a look at martha's vineyard. we've seen the rain showers overnight and this is the rain that moved through and those were bands from hurricane bill, but that rain is going to move on and still in the area. the front has got to move through and should mover closer into martha's vineyard this afternoon and temps in

the upper 70's, the showers aren't that heavy. and a pretty nice day to start your day in the vineyard. >> rick, when are you headed up to the vineyard. m-kay? >> and meanwhile, president obama trying to get r and r on the vineyard, rest and-- >> okay. >> and trying to get away from the consternation about health care. it may not be that successful because a new group is blanketing the airwaves on martha's vineyard about the protest ads. >> they timed them perfectly when the pre-was arriving them. here is one ad, take a look. >> the beach is nice this time of year. but while president obama vacations concerns mount about his health care plan. why? because his public option health plan could lead to government run health care, higher taxes on everything from paychecks to soda and added trillion to the deficit. mr. president, when you go

back to d.c., drop your government-run public option plan. let's get on with real reform to lower costs and protect patient's rights. >> well, the president before he left for martha's vineyard takes radio address to try to go on the defensive. to try to counter what they say are misrepresentations of the health care plan out in the public. >> i would assume that health care is not going to consume his vacation, but one would only imagine. so much more is happening on the island this weekend. tiger woods rumored to be playing golf with the president. raising eyebrows. chelsea clinton rumored to be getting married. >> people don't care if he's going to the vineyard. would it make it more likely

to go to the vineyard because the president and his family are. 90%, no, not so muchments in the shops on the vacation trip. they have the funny t-shirts and the different stuff. all the shops, even the food places are rolling out obama pancakes, obama tacos. >>. >> to the chief beer rolling out this week. >>, but, you wonder that, does it spur tourism? that poll would lead you to believe no. i know the vineyard is counting on increased buzz maybe a few extra visitors. most the people out there figure i'm not going to martha's vineyard not the most accessible, it's not grand canyon and not yellowstone park and not that affordable. >> this week they'll get a business bump because of the people surrounding the president that happens to be there. >> and media as well nts and media, scores and scores and people and the islanders don't like it when their streets are packed and crowded and there's

more traffic. >> they don't. >> and there's one more thing the president rumored to be meeting with ted kennedy on tuesday. of course, he's still suffering with that cancer so that could be very interesting meeting concerning health care and where they go from here. >> in the meantime, i have some headlines for you at this hour, let me tell you what's happening, fbi director robert mueller expressing outrage at the release of the only man convicted in the lockerbie bombing. in unprecedented prove, he wrote a letter. in it, mueller calls the decision a mockery of justice and claims it gave comfort to terrorists. and the insensitivity of the move pointed to the grief and anger of the families. there's speculation that the british government struck an oil deal with libya over the release. officials denied an oil agreement. a top military officer says they've laid out a time line

for telling the international red cross about terror suspects held at special camps and iraq in afghanistan. and they must provide the names and i.d.'s of detainees within two weeks of capture. and before there was no time line. answering tough questions about a google voice program. the company told it hasn't approved the program for iphones. >> phones. >> iphones. >> if there's an i-foon story let me know. >> there are important functions on the phones and apple is careful to say they haven't blocked the application. they're concerned it jumped mined the capabilities. apple says it's studying the google program. >> oh, i may have food on the brain. >> a california hospital welcome ago new addition. a baby robot named samantha to

serve as a teaching tool for students and staff. creepy looking. doctors say it's like a real baby and provides a unique learning experience. let me check. and it's the fourth robot at the torrent hospital, but the first infant one. >> what did she weigh in at. seven pounds. >> and she would not sleep through the night. crying full-time. >> collicky little thing. okay, we've got a fascinating new poll for you. earlier we told you what men want and now we'll tell you the fascinating priorities of you ladies and this baffles my mind. the one thing that shocked me the most is how, well, how important drinking water is compared to having sex. alisyn, please explain. >> let me take it away everyone. ladies, i think you can relate to this. this was a wellness women's poll, okay? so, how women are healthy. >> the priorities.

what do you want in lifements getting enough sleep, that's important. we need enough sleep. >> you don't get it. >> if you're tired your favorite here, which is number seven, that gets in the way of number one. we need number one in order to achieve number seven. okay? >> number two, getting stress levels low. >> again, that's important if you guys are trying to achieve number seven you want your women to have number two. >> alisyn-- all of the (laughter) >> number two, well said. >> in the poll. >> back up again, would you sterling. because, here, i think they all tied to number several. you can't get enough sleep-- >> you need the first six completed before you can enjoy number seven. >> i can't get past the fact that drinking enough water is more important to you to having enough sex. >> we need to be hydrated.

>> can we get the water out here? >> and that, that's making dave excited. we need to be hydrated, am i right, ladies? and that has been drummed into our head from every fitness magazine. >> i've never heard women say, my priority is to get enough water. you're not talking to women. we're told every single day you have to drink eight glasses of water or you'll basically shrivel up the next day and not being able to accomplish anything so we have to get our water, we have to get our sleep, we have to get our exercise, we have to reduce our stress and then we can enjoy your number one priority. >> yes no, yes, ladies? agree? yes? yes? >> yeah, all the women are nodding. >> (inaudible). >> said that-- >> more water. >> more water. >> take this as a lesson, guys, make sure your wives are well rested and well hydrated and you'll see it pays dividends, okay?

>> i'm going out to cloister and buy a whole case of water. >> e-mail us, i want the real results. >> fill it up? >> this is how much women have a drink a day. >> obese, imagine running-- >> i need a sip of water. >> drink up. >> imagine running for your life so your own father-- >> this is actually a big story if you guys could give me a moment. >> go ahead. >> imagine running for your life from your own father, that's a nightmare one teen is living after converting to christiany for islam. fox news terrorism analyst ferris joins us straight ahead with an i-foon. no. >> also, we have a compelling story coming up for you, this guy was a famous local news anchor making a lot of money and then he lost his job. yes, he was humiliated, he was broke. we'll tell you how he turned his life around. we have an inspirational story for you next.

>> welcome back here to "fox & friends." a 17-year-old run away says she fears for her life because she converted from islam to christiany. can so-called honor killings

really take place here in the ideas under shariah law? waleed ferris joins us from d.c. and he's the author confrontation winning the war against a future jihad. thank you for joining us. >> sure, good morning. >> i asked the question in the beginning. could honor killings take place under the shariah law in the united states? break down the question, what is shariah law for those who doesn't understand the ins and outs? >> it's the collection of religious, theologicals of the islamic threat. it begins with other texts and that said, when it comes to honor killing, honor killing basically is not thee logically based it's culturally rooted. various people in the middle east who perform honor killings, they say there are texts in the koran that would

allow this to happen, but they don't have the right to do so. >> let me just tell you, let me quote what she has said and of course, she has been very upset about all this have and posted, there's a video now on youtube, you can watch. if i had stayed in ohio with her parents, i wouldn't be alive. she says in 150 generation ins my family, no one has known jesus, i'm the first. imagine the honor in killing me. she believes that if she goes back to ohio this morning, and she's set to go back there, looks like authorities are moving to try to release her, push her back to ohio that she will be killed. is there any truth in this? >> well, what she is mentioning basically that conversion could be seen by fundamentalist elements as a reason for sanction, for penalty, including death, is correct. there is a text, not in the koran, but in some other text that would say so. however, it's not legal in the

united states, not even in many of the arab and muslim countries. it depends what she feels members of her family or people in her neighborhoods dealing with her family would take action. so, it's really up to the judge to listen to what she has to say if she's 17, therefore she's almost an adult and what she has to say would be very important in this case. >> it seems though that maybe people aren't listening, appears there's a movement to have her taken back to ohio where she'd be put back under control of her parents and also a movement afoot to try to keep florida governor charlie crist from trying to keep her in the state of florida and we'll have the e-mail up on the screen for you if you want. charlie.kr charlie.kris and try to plead to keep her in the state. and says that she has ample reasons to fear, she says she's been savagely beaten in the past.

and family member lifting up a laptop and threatening to smash her over the head with it. can authorities do anything about this? >> well, look, just on the ground of what she has stated, i mean, any judge and any authority should be wise enough not to return her at least now, before listening to her and clarifying the case, but beyond that, we've had case in the united states where similar connections to conversion or to honor killing either/or have resulted in death, even in ohio 1999. there was a case earlier this year, there was a case of a husband killing his wife and then. this has been studied under honor killing. because those cases exist, returning her forcefully would be a mistake and maybe a deadly mistake. >> wow, if we could learn from history there's something to do than thank you. i've leave you with another quote, she says there's great honor in killing her because if they love allah more than me, they have to do it, it's

in the koran. if they're motivated by this god only knows what could happen. thank you for joining us this morning. he worked over 25 years as a television anchor, one day suddenly he was out of a job. find out how the former anchor turned his life around and found a new calling. ♪ . ♪ (announcer) introducing new tums dual action. this tums goes to work in seconds and lasts for hours. all day or night. new tums dual action. bring it on.

>> it's time now for our fresh start series. he worked over 25 years as a well-respected television anchor, one of my personal favorites. suddenly he was out of a job, broke and humiliated. our next guest turned his life around and found a new call. >> he's a former journalist from denver, made the best out after of a bad situation. thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. it's early in denver, turning around, trying to make a fresh start. >> let's point a picture what your life was like. you were at the top of your game, you had been on tv news, a well-known answering corps for 26 years, you were making $250,000 a year, you were living the life, you had two homes and then what happened? >> then what happened was the-- as i told people, we fell off

the financial cliff and lived to tell about it. i had a nice income coming in, suddenly got laid off in december, the company that i had worked for filed for bankruptcy. i was supposed to get a lump sum check in january because of a contract that i had to sign, but because of the bankruptcy, they didn't pay me. and so, we went from a nice paycheck to nothing. and i was filing for unemployment. i had two homes to pay for. boy, that's an old picture. you know, i had two homes to pay for, i had a lot of bills and suddenly, we were like millions of other americans, we had no income, i had a little bit of free-lance stuff coming in. i was still going to vet tech school, hadn't been certified yet. so literally we were in a financial nightmare. >> growing up in denver, i have to tell you you were one of my personal favorite anchors. one of the reasons i got into the business and were you always one of the best. let me ask you, what did you

do then? how did you turn things around? luckily, fate would have it, i don't know who it was three years ago, go back to school, my passion was animals. i'd always wanted, excuse me, wanted to be veterinarian when i was a kid and never did that. got into broadcast journalism, so, three years ago i looked at the next best thing and that was a veterinarian technician and it would take me two years to go back to school. i went to school in the mornings, had scrubs on and then i'd rush in the afternoons to work and put on my coat and tie and become this answering corps mkocorps-- anchorman. as fate would have it, i graduated the same time i got laid off. my saying is you make plans and god laughs. and i thought i would work as an anchorman for another couple of years and be an a tech later on.

and i went from the big salary to 26 or 30,000 a year. a big change in our life. >> i bet it has. ernie. when you lost your job and i want to relate this story, i know something that people out there can relate to it this morning. your wife went to the grocery store and what happened? >> oh, yeah, well, that was a favorite story that people talk about today is that she went to the grocery store right after our financial faucet was turned off and didn't have enough money in our bank account and she went grocery shopping and had the groceries right there at the counter and gave them the check, the check bounced, it wasn't good. and she was humiliated. she had to put all the groceries back and that was the first time in our lives that ever happened so we've learned a lot of life lessons in all of this. the first thing is that you know, we lived well, we wouldn't do anything different again. we took wonderful trips with our kids, we have two beautiful homes, but we lived right at the top of our means and had no wiggle room. and from now on, i'm going to

have a lot of wiggle room. >> that's my question as we wrap this up. and not relating to the big well paid anchor, but everyone can relate to changing their life. what's the take away for folks that lose their jobs and have to take on a different calling? >> i would say follow your passion and that's what i've been telling people around the country. follow your passion and do something that you want to do for the rest of your life, it may not pay a lot of money like your previous jobs, but you're going to love it and i love what i'm doing right now. if i had a chance to get back into tv news i would for a few more years, but right now i'm loving what i do, loving working with animals, but it's been a big change and i think i would tell people out there. even if you have a good job out there right now with a decent salary. make sure you have enough financial wiggle room. if it does end tomorrow you're not going to be in the situation i was. luckily, i'm coming out of it now and we did finally get the money i was owed so we're doing all right, but it's been

a big change. >> good for you, ernie. we're happy you're so happy following your bliss and thanks for the advice to everybody out there. >> you're welcome. you guys have a great sunday. >> you, too, ernie. and clayton what's coming up on the program. >> grab yourself another cup of coffee, much more "fox & friends." the president obama saying the opposition's health care plan could be a vast right wing conspiracy. i think we've heard that. karl rove will weigh in. and we've heard about the explosion of swine flu cases, the world health organization says you've got to protect yourself. we'll tell you how to protect your kid when they're headed out to school. it's coffee time. oh, we're out of coffee? 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.

money for first responders, they are giving away beautiful bikes, as well. we'll tell you who got them and what their cause is all about. >> alisyn: in the meantime, remember six months ago, when former senator tom daschle had to withdraw his name from the nomination for health and human services secretary and had to do so because he had not paid certain taxes. well, apparently he has continued to be in the mix, much more so than anybody has known previously, according to the "new york times." >> clayton: "new york times" -- it seems, people slam "the new york times" for being a liberal rag. not quite the case at all. in fact, they are doing some incredible reporting lately, over the past few sundays, they have been hitting on a loot of fair and balanced reporting. and they have been looking at rahm emanuel and secretary tom daschle who is not secretary daschle at all, in fact, he is now... excuse me, he has the ear

of the president, apparently, on health care reform, you laugh at me! >> alisyn: i love your finger-wagging! >> clayton: o'reilly! >> dave: tom daschle, you were saying. >> clayton: i'm sorry. >> dave: some say he might be playing both sides of the fence here, right, talking to the president about health care reform and is a lobbyist for the health care industry for pharmaceutical companies an hop and appears to be a major conflict of interest involving tom daschle and which side is he on here, is he protecting both interests, simultaneously? and can he manage to keep himself -- >> clayton: "the new york times" reports, he says, i'm not -- he is not a registered lobbyist, and they are quick to point that out, though he work at a lobbying firm and if he is regulrel gating the information to pharmaceutical companies, how is that not a conflict of interest

and the president says it's not part of the process but tom daschle has the president's ear over the past six months. >> alisyn: he's a highly paid policy advisors to hospitals and pharmaceutical companies and other health care industry clients and it says from the "new york times," daschle still speaks frequently to the president who met with him as recently as friday morning in the oval office. he also remains a highly paid -- i read this, he has the ear of the white house and he is on the pay -- in the -- you know, get collecting a paycheck from the health care industry and tom daschle says, this is not a conflict of interest because the message i deliver to business leaders, is the same one that i share with doctors, hospitals and insurance companies, i do not tailor my views to any specific group or client. in other words, he believes in health care reform and always has and tells everybody about it who will listen to it. >> clayton: a number of people

on twitter said how can there not be a conflict of interest here and we talked about this yesterday, the correspondentyism that cropped up and all of the people that get involved in the discussion, there has to be a conflict of interest and our viewers are weighing in, saying there has to be. >> dave: and it is a problem with the obama administration because he promised transparency and things would be different and promised lobbyists would not be tied to his administration. and the same corporate connections and same lobbying ties that republicans have been hammered for for year and now it appears the same types of things are going on, with the obama administration, no transparency. >> clayton: good for "the new york times" for uncovering this and we have not heard at all about tom daschle. >> alisyn: in the meantime, let's talk about the letter the fbi director, robert mullens sent to the justice department officials in scotland for releasing the convicted bomber of the lockerbie flight. as you know, he was released and he got a hero's welcome when he

went home to libya, and that caused all sorts of outrage here at home, and, robert mullens out of character, sent a very angry letter to his counterpart which says, i admitted the practice and -- i have made it a practice not to comment on the objections of prosecutors, your decision to release megrahi causes me to abandon that practice in the case and i do so because i'm familiar with the facts and the law and i do so because i am outraged at your decision and he says it makes a mockery of the rule of law and it is important to point out as alisyn did, fbi director mueller is usually reserved and rarely says things of this nature but the outrage, which is the same as many of you, and he had 3 months to live and there is compassion involved but the man is responsible for killing 270 people, back in 1988, you all remember pan am flight 103.

and, it is bringing up major problems. what happens here? how did it slip through the cracks, gadhafi, the libyan leader called and said he wants to thank gordon brown, the prime minister, of the u.k., his friend, gordon brown, calling him his friend and wants to thank him for helping with the release of megrahi and people wonder, was there a deal made between the u.k. and libya, concerning him. >> clayton: we have an update, following it on-line, britain is denying this morning that there is any deal that has been struck, deny suggestions that there is a link between the locker by bomber's release and the energy deals with libya, that have been let's say -- dave pointed out an oil deal that could have been tied to this and british government saying no, in fact there has not been the case, but what outraged many americans is seeing the guy walking down after deplaning and people throwing confetti behind him, after they promised that there would not be a hero's welcome in that country.

and, 200 people on the tarmac throwing con fete afetti and en him coming home. >> julie: a despicable indication. >> alisyn: your headlines, what is happening at this hour, there are fierce, powerful attacks could strike baghdad any day now and the foreign minister is urging iraqis to be extra careful, he is also urging the government to immediately fill the hole in iraq's security forces and there are signs the perpetrators of last week's coordinated bombings may have had help from officers on the inside, as you know, 100 people were killed and a thousand injured. for -- four inmates are in the hospital after the fiery prison riot in kentucky, i group 0 inmates set fire to a number of buildings, six of them, were come politically described 700 prisoners were bussed to other jails and officials will not say what sparked the riot. no prison workers were hurt. and a massive wildfire forced more than 10,000 people to evacuate areas, near athens,

grease and officials declared a state of emergency in response to the chaos, look at the flames, so far, no casualties are reported but -- i'll get that -- dozens of homes have been destroyed and officials say flames are threatening ancient archeological sites. this new york city firefighter is being hailed as a hero. for jumping in front of a subway, to save a man's life. adam rivera was off duty, celebrating his anniversary andy man fainted and fell off of the tracks and he noticed a train was coming and jumped onto the tracks and hoisted the man out with a fireman's carry and the man, marko de lano is in the hospital recovering and rivera has only been a firefighter for a year, an incredible, heroic story, i'm sure he's linked to geraldo, somehow, those are your headlines! rick. >> rick: and geraldo chasing hurricanes and not a big one and

bill is moving off towards the northeast and just to the south of nova scotia and pulling northeast and the latest advisories that came in at 8:00 show it picking up a forward momentum and moving out 31 miles per hour, and this is the history of the storm, now, taking the easterly turn and will head toward ireland within a couple of days and not as a hurricane but a storm that will bring rain and wind and this is the rain from the hurricane bill, moving off toward the east and the front that will move through the day today, across much of the east and willed cool things down and dry things out after that, and we will be talking about an absolutely beautiful monday and tuesday, here is the rest of the country, anywhere, east of the rockies, all the way across the eastern seaboard, absolutely spectacular and across the west, a little bit nicer, too, temps dropped because of the system here and temps today, phoenix, 98 and warm across the high plain and there are your beautiful conditions, around the great lakes and 75, chicago and dry. >> dave: beautiful i think can take that. >> rick: you bet. >> alisyn: now we need to talk

about somehow how twitter and loneliness are connected because the more -- it seems the more there are social networking sites between -- how we are technologically interconnected and is supposed to shrink the globe to a size of a golf ball and we're friends with people across the world and somehow we are lonelier than ever before, a study reveals. yes, clayton! >> dave: interesting study, researchers found out that the amount of people who say they have no one to talk about important issues with tripled since 1985, to 2004 and yes, people are in fact getting lonelier, in terms of those, they talk about real issues, with and i know, clayton they twitter and facebook and -- about nothing in particular. >> alisyn: he's not listening, he's not listening! >> dave: nothing really important. >> clayton: ben stiller wanted to show off how you twitter and twittedered mickey rourke and look at this. it is funny. >> okay. twitter is basically, like on

the internet. you can -- i'm learning about it myself, right now and basically what it is, you can instantly talk to people or you send out little messages of what is going on with you, right now, mickey rooney. >> do you find this fun and interesting? >> i can't tell if i'm happy about it or if i feel like it is -- i'm intrigued by it. >> alisyn: mickey rourke aged? >> yeah! 40 years. >> clayton: i'm sorry. >> alisyn: this is the point, you were illustrating perfectly the point which is people are so engrossed in their social networking twittering they are not interacting with the people right around them. >> i'm going to set up alisyn on twitter for the very first time, bring her into the 21st century, because, so many people have been asking about twitter. alisyn on twitter and she'll be on here in 15 minutes, okay. >> dave: even i'm on twitter, it is time! and coming up on the program, the president points the finger at the g.o.p. once again. karl rove is here to tell us,

can the president get away with this blaming the g.o.p. for his struggles with the health care plan. >> alisyn: see you in a minute, karl and riding motorcycles for a important cause, honoring the first responders of 9/11. chloe is 9 months old. she is the greatest thing ever. woman: one little smile, one little laugh. - honey bunny. - ( coos ) we would do anything for her. my name is kim bryant and my husband and i made a will on legalzoom. man: it was really easy to do. - ( blows raspberries ) - ( laughing ) robert shapiro: we created legalzoom to help you take care of the ones you love. go to legalzoom.com today and complete your will in minutes. at legalzoom.com we put the law on your side.

>> i think early on, a decision was made by the republican leadership, that said, look, let's not give them a victory, maybe we can have a replay of 1993-94 when clinton came in, he failed on health care and we won in the midterm elections and got the manage jortd. and i think there is some folks who are taking a page out of that play book. >> dave: that is president obama crying foul on a recent interview, claiming possible sabotage among republicans top prevent him from pushing through health care reform. i'm joined this morning by former senior advisor to president bush, and fox news contributor, karl rove, good morning to you, sir. >> good morning, sir. >> dave: all right, i have to ask you about this, because, he is drawing the similarities of 199 -'94 and can he get away

with that now with the majority in the house and the majority in the senate. >> no, he can't and in fact this is just political rhetoric, and his real problem is, the substance of the issue and he ought to stop pushing the motive to people with honest disagreement with the substance of the issue and you know, the fox graphics department gave me a couple of slides her that -- high-tech slides showing the real problem and here's the problem. this is the president's support among independents in the fox news poll and the job approval -- there we go, job approval, 54 in july and 49 among independents in august, approval on health care was 33 in july and 27 in august. and his problem is with independents. here's another high-tech slide. in the quinn pack poll, the president's plan was 42-46 in july and 39-32 in august and independents, 36-60, that is to

say 60% oppose his plan and the marist poll in august, 43-45, approve/disapprove and independents, 34-52 and his problem is -- and he has a problem with democrats, look at all the polls, shows nearly 1 out of 5, more than 1 out of 5 democrats opposes the president's plan, and nearly 3 out of 5 independents oppose his plan, and almost 9 out of every ten republicans oppose his plan and republicans are overwhelmingly opposed and he has significant problems with independents who oppose his plan more than they support it and, with democrats, one out of five, more than one out of every five, opposes his plan. >> dave: we do have a graphics department, here at the fox news channel, but i like those! those are very good. >> here's the problem, i tried to get their help and they said they were angry with clayton and as a result i was on my own. >> dave: that makes sense! >> if i would have said it was dave, they would have made it up

for me, i thought i was doing the segment with clayton. >> dave: could the president risk being a one-term president if he gets the mcreform passed. let's play that clip. >> i have heard the president say that if making tough decisions in getting important things done that washington failed to deal with for decades, means that he will only live in the house, for the next four years he's quite comfortable with that. >> dave: when we come back i have to get your response to that, does that im place a president with principles or one that is not reading the political tea leaves, more in a moment. paef ef show and tell

>> we are back now with karl rove and just before the break we played a sound bite from press secretary robert gibbs implying the president would be willing to risk being a one-term president to get the health care reform bill passed. karl i have to ask you, on the one hand is the president someone who is not reading the polls, not listening to the people, or, is he a president really with principles, really, sticking to his gut, and

something he truly believes in. >> i think it is both. the question is, is it the right thing to do, this is not what he campaigned on and he called government run health care, quote, extreme and now is trying to put in place a government run health care program and is not prepared to run with the american people and the question is, is it right to give the american people something they think is too expensive, too much, too big, too messy and too intrusive into their lives and presidents have to sometimes stand for principles they believe in, i wish he'd done a better job of talking about this in the campaign and we were more prepared for it. >> alisyn: karl we have to update you on something that happened this morning, actually over the weekend, remember all of the questions about why random people were receiving unsolicited e-mails from the white house, well, this morning we have an explanation from the white house. they say, they used the private communications company, based in minnesota, called gov-delivery and that lots of people in government use this to send out these blast e-mails, are you

satisfied with this explanation? >> i think this shows they have a serious problem with violating the anti-lobbying statutes, there is a part of the federal law which prohibits the white house from sending out any letters, doing any advertising, using any device to influence members of congress. i think this is a very serious problem, and i think they, by sending out god knows how many e-mails, how many did they send out and how much did they spend and what is the opinion that justifies lobbying statutes and i think they have a legal problem. >> clayton: questions to be answered. karl, good morning, clayton, nice to see you. >> how are you, man, look, i feel for you, i know you are into the twitter thing so big, because are afraid of not being accepted but alisyn and dave accepted you, man, as you are! >> clayton: just because of that we'll roll the karl rove unplugged segment. >> you were going to run it anyway. >> clayton: giving away our secrets, carpal, you are -- we'll have alisyn on twitter,

you are a master twitterer, we have to ask you about tom delay and you showed off your dancing moves before and tom delay is now going to be on dancing with the stars and when i first heard about this i nearly lost my lunch. what is your take. >> i had to be m. c. rove and at the president and correspondents' dinner and i was dragged out of the comedian and made the dance, i could either dance or show how irritated i was and i determined i'd be a good sport and i was -- it wasn't voluntary and this is voluntary on congressman delay's part and my question is what the heck is he doing? this is the detail and maybe wants to dance and maybe cut a good rug but this is weird, man, weird! >> dave: are you telling me karl rove would not join the next cast of "dancing with the stars." >> no, no, no, no, no, no. >> dave: i can see it now... >> no, no, no, no, no...

>> alisyn: look what he is doing to us! >> that's not good! we are norwegian, we don't dance, we just twitch, we don't dance at all. >> alisyn: i was told there was no paparazzi in the room when we were practicing that tango, i'm sorry that that picture leaked out! >> clayton: you know what is best about that, karl was working on the graphic and that is why we couldn't use his graphics, they were working on that one earlier! >> alisyn: karl, thank you. >> clayton: a great sport. >> always a pleasure. >> clayton: thanks, karl. guess what? we have geraldo rivera, you know when there is a hurricane he's always there. >> dave: he gets into the middle of the storm. >> clayton: that's right and he's there right now in martha's vineyard and we'll talk to him right after the break. - ♪ oh! what do you say to a spin around the color wheel? - to paint with primer already mixed in? - ♪ yeah yeah yeah... - test samples instead of can commitments? - ♪ whoo! - what do you say we dip into our wallets less... - ♪ are you feeling it? - ...and grab ahold of the latest tools out there... - ♪ oh!

>> clayton: well, welcome back to "fox & friends." the world of air guitar, the newest champion. >> alisyn: i hope this guy won! he's really risking it all for the championship. >> dave: and gunther love is his nickname, not given name. >> clayton: really? he won the competition, and it was held in finland and his performance of "animal" by the finnish band, sweat master, his vick, the grand prize is a real guitar.

>> dave: air guitar, air drums. >> clayton: have you ever played guitar. >> dave: i don't know how to play an instrumented, i couldn't even play the recorder when i was young. >> alisyn: the first family set to arrive in martha's vineyard to enjoy down time and what can locals expect and what will the obama's miss while they are away, joining us is the one, the only, geraldo, hi, geraldo. >> caller: hi, alisyn, how are you doing. >> alisyn: well, how is this island feeling on the cusp of this huge arrival from the presidential entourage. >> caller: they were bracing for twin hurricanes, both of them weakening and hurricane bill passed last night, and delivered some rain and about 35 mile-an-hour winds, but, no discernible damage, and the other hurricane coming is -- coming today, weakened in the polls and the president and the rest of the first family coming for a rare vacation and i'm on the deck of my old sailboat, at the horror view, hotel and have

the edgartown light house, dating back to the whaling era when more that's vineyard became prosperous and then became a fabled summer resort for presidents from ulysses s. grant on and the things that accompany a u.s. first family visit and the big buzz here last night was about the rumors, the rampant rumors of chelsea clinton getting hitched here on martha's vineyard and a lot of the townsfolk, year around people believe it is a go, but alan dershowitz, the professor, with bill and hillary clinton a few days ago said it is absolutely not true, that the former first daughter will not be getting married, and she was going -- if she was going to get married here it would have been quite something here, adding the clinton storm to the obamas and the hurricanes. >> dave: and of course you would have been invited had she been getting married. so it must not be happening!

>> clayton: the invitation must be lost in the mail. >> caller: that's right! >> we want your perspective on a story we have been following which is the story out of this, the 17-year-old risqa bary, gone to florida and fled her family's home in columbus over fear her family was going to perpetrate an honor killing and take her life, because of her switching to christianity, from islam. we now know there may be a movement to bring her back to ohio. and of course, people pleading with the gone of florida, charlie crist, to try to keep her in florida and do all he can do, but it looks like the law may not be on his side. what is your take on this. >> caller: first, the lawyer -- as a lawyer it's not that difficult to get someone to be' manse pated. she is 17. it varies from state-to-state but i think knowing governor crist as i do, i am certain that he will not allow a travesty

like that to happen. and i have spent, dave, clayton, alisyn, spent most of the -- not most, a substantial portion of the last eight years east of suez in the muslim world. and i have many dear friends that were muslim and now are beginning -- have begun their holiday of ramadan but these excesses, these crazy radical times of action, by crazy people, like that obviously is puts the whole religion in a bad light and this is unbelievable, and it can't happen. >> dave: i'm going to quote from a frank gaffney, jr., article, from rifqa bary about her father and he waved a laptop in the air and was about to beat me with it and again, she, quote, says her dad said, i will kill you, tell me this truth and these were bad word, cuss words and i know i had to get away, the words of

rifqa bary and can they factor in she says she was abused by her father, keeping her away from her family in ohio? how much does that factor in? >> caller: well, i believe those kinds of allegations, those allegations of neglect from and obviously articulate and intelligent young lady, will have absolutely determinative power in this situation. there is no -- no way on earth in the united states today, that a child who is alleging that kind of abuse, will be forced to return to her family. it doesn't matter if they put it in the context of religion, it doesn't matter that she is not quite 18 yet and, therefore, an adult in the eyes of the law in many regards. it is unfathomable to believe that any court in our country would force that child to go home. >> alisyn: and yet, geraldo, she

fled her family, these are allegations that she made against her parent, and she met a church group on-line and went to florida, to be with them, and that is also scary for parents of teenagers and charlie crist i think, it is walking a delicate line. >> caller: i also didn't know anything about the christian sect to which she has attached herself. it sounds kind of funky, al sinks you are right about that and bret baier's investigation, all -- >> dave: and the father said she loves his daughter whether she's a christian or a muslim and welcomes her home and she would be of sa if he comes home. >> clayton: and on twitter right now, a lot of people are writing and saying they have reached out to charlie crist the governor of florida and gotten immediate responses, within 12 hours and the office of the governor down there in florida has been highly communicative and a lot of people are saying it shows what the governor -- he's a stand-up guy. >> caller: he's a great guy and

he's a -- a great governor, and, my mom says he'll be a great senator from the sunshine state and charlie will not let it happen, i'll tell you now. >> clayton: we have to ask you this question, we are going to talk about this coming up here in the -- in a moment, are you on twitter? are you on facebook, using social networking. >> caller: i hate to say i'm not. i do have a blog that i write to occasionally, but... i haven't -- i haven't figured out all the abbreviations yet. >> alisyn: i'm not surprised and here's why, because you are old school, number one. number 2, are the social person -- the most social person we have ever met and so there is a study out today that shows social networking actually makes people more lonely because their face is buried in the computer instead of going to parties and weddings as you do, almost every day. >> dave: which -- >> clayton: geraldo, thanks so much for joining us this morning, we appreciate it.

>> caller: it is still overcast but will be clearing. >> dave: enjoy your time in the vineyard. >> alisyn: yes, lonely man! >> clayton: a lot of people write, alisyn handles the blogs and i have been on twitter and a lot of people write, every weekend i a few twitters from people saying, is alley on twitter, and i say no but she is communicative in many ways and i thought, let's harness the energy of al sane put her into the twitter-sphere. and harness it like a windmill. >> dave: listen, she'll be this time of twitter, i'm on twitter as well, but i -- every once in a while, sparingly, like i'm guessing you might, not this type of twitter. >> alisyn: i don't think anybody cares about meeting people for lunch. >> clayton: that's not the point. karl rove, karl rove on the show, he's one of the leading conservative twitterers and tells me, i wrote this article and here's what i'm working on and want your feedback on a book he's working on. >> alisyn: all right. all right. show me. >> dave: we have multiple kids, that is what we do most of the

time when we're not at work. >> clayton: america, prepare yourselves, dave, are you prepared, everyone wanted to know the address, i created the account. >> alisyn: i don't want to know. >> clayton: it is aly@fox. spelled out, that the an ampersand, aly/atfox. the twitter address and we'll sign you in and don't sign in yet, and -- and i think i would like your -- to be your first follower, i'm clayton morris. >> i'm foxdavebriggs@twitter.com. >> clayton: and now you have 24 followers i. >> alisyn: okay. what do i do now, what do i do next. >> clayton: make a sign, hi, this is alisyn. >> dave: gripping television. >> clayton: i'm stealing aly's account. there you go! >> alisyn: this -- i will try this. >> dave: a commercial break. >> alisyn: i'll try it for the next 48 hours, and see if i am

lonelier0... >> clayton: you will not be lonelier. >> sitting here! watching that! >> alisyn: we'll see how it goes! >> dave: rick, what is going on my friend! are they all asleep? rick... rick must have been doing his weather for them! >> alisyn: good one, rick! >> clayton: take it away. 1 cut his mic, cut his mic! >> clayton: can't hear him. >> dave: this is tellation magic! >> clayton: go down to the television museum in washington, d.c., these past three minutes of television broadcast will be memorialized. >> alisyn: it is called twitter tv, it is compelling. coming up health experts predict an explosion of swine flu cases. parent, listen up. this is huge and back to school time, and we'll tell you what you can do to protect your kids

from this deadly virus. >> clayton: 183 followers in five minutes. >> dave: i'm still intrigued... and almost 700 bikers, took part in the annual america's 9/11 ride this year, and last stop is right here at "fox & friends." you will meet these patriots coming up, how many followers. >> clayton: 232. >> dave: more than me, hook me up! while we take a break. see you guys in a minute. 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.

>> alisyn: listen up parents, the who predicts an explosion of the h1n1 flu virus cases, the cdc says it issued new flu guidelines for college student and hundreds of schools are heeding the government's call to set up flu shot clinics this fall. >> dave: back-to-school lesson in h1n1, dr. marc siegel, fox news medical contributor and an associate professor of medicine at nyu medical center, just completed a new book on the swine flu, how concerned should parents be with their kids, just about to go back to school. >> let's put it the way, it is a pandemic, meaning it will start early. so, september, october and now we should be talking about it. it is a mild flu virus. but, we don't have a lot of immunity to it. so those are the two things we have to remember. it will spread because we don't have immune to it. and especially on kids and young adults, though. >> alisyn: but if it is a mild

flu virus, and people get the flu, and they recover from it, all the time, should we really be panic-stricken or let our children get the flu, as they often get sick. >> the problem with that, a great session, a, never be panic strib en and stricken and b it is a mild virus and if you have had it already you probably are immune but you can't deliberately spread it, you never know what will happen and it could get worse and you never know if the kid has asthma or some other condition and it can spread to someone you don't want to have it and we are focusing on the vaccine as a real issue and if we get it we can prevent a lot of cases. >> dave: prevention is the key. what can we do. >> the number one thick is actually wash your hands thoroughly, which is hard to teach kids to do this, and coug and virus travels 12 feet and the other thing is isolate

people when they are sir don't concerned kids to school when they are sick and don't go to work when you are sick. i have a slight disagreement with the cdc and they say a day or two days and i say two or three days after your symptoms send, even after you don't have symptoms you could spread it for a couple of days, stay home an extra couple of days. >> alisyn: good know and when will the vaccine be available. >> that is a disappointment, because it is slow to develop, because they are growing it in chicken eggs and it is outdated technology and it looks safe and we'll have 45 million doses by mid to end of october and we need three times that amount at least. >> alisyn: haven't they seen disturbing side effect from the vaccine. >> let's clear that up, that is the 1976 vaccine which was also swine flu and caused paralysis, probably in one in 100,000 cases and there was no epidemic to treat and it was glaring and now if we see millions of case we

have to risk side effect but we are not seeing the side effect with the vaccine so far and it looks like a safe vaccine. >> dave: we have heard recommendations, have flu buddies, and at college and you have your roommate go and pick things up for you and bring them to you, is that a good idea. >> dave i think that is ridiculous, unless the flu buddy has been immune and the flu buddy had it in the spring, fine, if you get the flu go home for a week or stay isolated or don't appoint someone who has not had it and they'll get it. >> dave and i have little kids and is it worrisome to skip school the first two weeks or until they get the vacs sneen that will spread fear but we have to talk to parents and kids need the vaccine and there is no mercury in the vaccine for kids and it will be safe and available, at schools probably and let's vaccinate or kids this year to the h1n1 swine flu, very important. >> dave: i saw a -- an extreme story yesterday from cbc -- cdc

recommending college kids and we talked about it yesterday, kiss with those surgical masks on. >> first of all, that will never happen! and also, let's talk about the mask business and that is a myth, too. imagine don't really prevent the spread of flu, most likely, if you have the flu and are really sick you should probably wear a surgical mask and one kind really works, n-95 but wopt people walking around the streets with masks. it will not help. >> alisyn: when you say the masks don't help, it prevents the sneeze from spreading. >> exactly. it is good if you have it but won't prevent you from getting it because the virus goes through it but if you have the flu you want to wear a mask. >> alisyn: you a font of information. >> and my book, i'm adding more and more chapters to it. >> dave: when is it coming out. >> a month. >> dave: looking forward to it. >> alisyn: thanks, dr. siegel. >> dave: riders from across the country get together to honor a few brave men and women every year, we'll tell you why and how
