>> you say to your chief, i can't stand this wench. brian: yes. a woman being made fun of is the comic's mother-in-law and she's suing. how that case came out and how she used to love the act. that story coming your way. a slogan this hour comes to us from tina in new mexico. she said, "fair and balanced and on the ball with "fox & friends" you get it all." nice. [captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute -- www.ncicap.org -- brian: all right, everybody. welcome. this is a wild show. it's beginning to rain outside but what's going on outside supercedes what's going on inside. gretchen: which is? brian: a brat worst mobile the size of manhattan and darrell is here. gretchen: and dave is here. dave: which is bigger than the grill. bigger news. gretchen: let's get to the headlines which are also big. we begin with senator ted

kennedy. people waiting in long lines to pay their final respects. joining us live from there this morning, our own molly. good morning, molly. >> good morning. we can expect those lines to be long again today. there are already about a dozen folks in line here just a few feet away from me. the lines yesterday astoundingly long. thousands upon thousands of people waiting to get into the presidential library to pay their respects to senator ted kennedy. some of them waiting for hours. at 10:00 p.m. the estimate on the number of people in line was 21,000 people and the doors did not close until 2:00 a.m. this morning. some waited, as i said, hours. kennedy family members, including the senator's widow, greeted a steady stream of folks walking by the flag-draped coffin. a motorcade filled with 85 kennedy members weaved through the streets of boston, stopping at some of those historical landmarks that meant so much to senator ted kennedy and his

family through the years, through the north end where senator kennedy's mother was born and raised. the irish part of town, a little nod to senator kennedy's irish roots. people lined those streets about 10 deep in some places, many of twhem tears in their eyes. one woman told me they wanted to give the senator the sendoff he deserved. others said his passing marks the end of an era. the doors open here in about two hours. the line already forming. they will close at 3:00 this afternoon in preparation for the celebration of life that will be held today. there are a number of senate colleagues, friends and family members that will be speaking. among them, senator kerry, senator mccain, senator dodd. and caroline kennedy also expected to speak. gretchen? gretchen: all right, molly line. thank you for that update. we'll check back in with you throughout the morning. to the other stories making headlines. an ominous warning about our nation's banks. more of them are at risk for failure. according to the fdic, 1, 416

banks are on the failure list. 8,100 banks in the u.s. wrote off $49 billion in bad loans, double the total for all of last year. iran's president wants his opponents thrown in jail for sparking post election riots. he told a crowd at friday prayers that the leaders of the opposition must be prosecuted. he did not mention them by name, but other headliners have called for the arrest of the defeated presidential candidates. c.i.a. director leon panetta. he says now that his agency will cover the legal costs for agents investigated for alleged interrogation abuses. that's according to a senior intelligence official. panetta's decision comes as attorney general eric holder appoints a special prosecutor to conduct a review of whether federal laws were broken during those interrogations. and there it sits, right there. the shuttle discovery. after an overnight lunch

scrubbed yet again. the problem, a malfunction with a fuel valve. it appears a sensor is to blame. engineers round-the-clock trying to fix it so discovery can try again tonight one minute before midnight. fierce flames coming dangerously close to donald trump's exclusive golf club in california. the fire forcing about 1,500 people from their million dollar homes. heavy smoke casting a haze over much of the area. firefighters are battling another major fire, this one in the san gabriel mountains where flames could spread even further into angeles national forest. guys, michael vick returned to the nfl last night in the city of brotherly love. >> look what's coming in. number 7, michael vick. gretchen: eagles fans made vick feel right at home with that standing ovation with their preseason game against the jacksonville jaguars.

it sounded like a lot of boos, though, too. dave: a few. gretchen: sounded like a lot. vick played quarterback and wide receiver, he did. and completed all passes for 19 yards. it was his first nfl action since 2006 after serving 18 months for his role in that dogfighting operation. vick talked about what it felt like to return to the field. >> i can't explain the feeling. it was unbelievable. the way that i was embraced. just the warm welcome. gretchen: this as vick's $20 million bankruptcy plan was approved by a judge in virginia. brian: he's making $1 million but he owes $20 million and has no endorsements. dave: he started his day that way, in bankruptcy court, and ended on the field. looked ok. little shuffle passes. all over the field. brian: the year was 1991. the story goes that jaycee dugard was waiting at the bus

stop when a car pulled up and grabbed her. in the distance, her step-father sees her, grabs a bike, sees her being grabbed, hears her scream and goes after the car. she disappears. we know nothing about her. and sadly we think that -- they're looking for remains rather than her for 18 years. and then shockingly this story takes a turn. gretchen: they found her in the last few days in california. that's not her. that's what she may look like now so far no new video. 18 years later. a sex offender and his wife apparently abducted her 18 years ago from that bus stop. they hid her in antioch, california, in some weird shed for the last 18 years that guy right there fathers two children with her. they are now 15 and 11. dave: and she's only 29. so you figure she had one at age 14, just three years after she was kidnapped. how was she found? well, a weird story.

phil greto was on a college campus, berkeley. he was called to talk to his probation officer. he brought in jaycee dugard who was going by an alias. he actually brought her in along with his wife and children. and she, of course, told police that, well, this is who i am, confirmed the story, and here it is. she's back with her family this morning in california. brian: it's unbelievable. they say this guy's illegally handing out pam flets extolling the virtues of finding god. you're not allowed to do this, they say and do a background check on him. they find out he's a registered sex offend eastern call the probation officer. the probation comes in and shows up with his wife and two girls, 15 and 11. where do these girls come from? well, i don't know what his explanation was but they looked more into it. they find a hidden area this secluded area surrounded by trees where these three lived,

not seeing a doctor, never going to school. what the shape, the mental shape and physical shape of these three can't be good. gretchen: it can't be good. but here's my question. where the heck was the parole officer for all of these years? this guy's under lifetime parole. brian: for raping. gretchen: and he's a sex offender. for life! ok? this parole officer says he or she visited this house and never saw this shed because there was a lot of shrubbery. however, neighbors are saying that as far back as two years ago they called the authorities because they saw children on the property and he's a registered sex offender and they knew he was a registered sex owe phonedder. -- offender. they said to the authorities, how could he have kids on the property and nothing? dave: and what kept jaycee dugard there? she was 29 years old. ok? this is a fully grown mother, of two children. what kept her there? gretchen: we've heard so many stories of that where they get into that syndrome.

dave: he said post arrest that he expects the most compelling story. this is fild talking, the most compelling story to come from the victim, to come from jaycee dugard. who knows what that story will be. but let's take you back to 1991 and play you some of the sounds from when this abduction took place. >> everybody thinks jaycee is still out there, that she's alive. how do you keep up the hope? >> i guess we have volunteers that actually work as hard or i feel sometimes even harder than we do. it keeps us going. keeps our strength going. it's been six months. we've had no days off. it goes every day. we do about 20 phone calls, thank yous. just continuous -- you haven't got time to think about stopping. >> we do feel she is alive. i feel her in my heart. gretchen: my goodness. that intuition was correct. that was the stepfather, i believe, who the authorities initially thought may have had something to do with it because he was the last person to have seen her. so he's vind crated -- vindicated at this point. but you've got to wonder what the emotional health is of that

woman and these two children. brian: the brother of the kidnapper, the accused kidnapper, said he always knew his brother was a little out of control, especially when he raped and kidnapped before, spent time in jail, did a lot of damage to himself by l.s.d. use as a kid, and he had always had a sexual exoation but never expected something like this. what do you mean? he's already kidnapped and raped and he's allowed to live there. a lot of questions to be asked. of course, we saw a lot of elizabeth smart last night because she was taken for a long time by a lunatic and she survived. gretchen: not that long. brian: that was about a year and a half. dave: health care now. a new ad against the president's health care overhaul. it's an ad you won't see on two national networks, nbc and abc currently refusing to run this ad featuring a neurosurgeon speaking out against government-controlled health care. here is a piece of that ad.

>> how can obama's plan cover 50 million new patients without any new doctors? it can't. it will hurt our seniors. and medicare as we know it. ration, coverage and care. dave: again, now, two networks, national networks not the local affiliates, nbc and abc currently not running this ad. nbc states they're currently looking into the facts, but abc says this is basically off the table. they will not run this ad. gretchen: abc says they have a longstanding policy that we do not sell time for advertising on a controversial public issue. remind me, guys. was it not in june that abc did an entire prime-time special from the white house with president obama giving his side of health care? would that not have also violated their own policy of being partisan? brian: yeah. gretchen: i think it might. brian: well, dick morris is one of the key people, as chief strategist with this organization that cut this ad. he says our purpose is not to

run down health care reform, it's to refocus it. and nbc says, "we're not saying we're not going to run it. we'll run it if you make a few revisions." they'll tell what you to take out and put in. meanwhile, on a side note, nancy pelosi says she needs $100,000 from grassroots organizers to combat ads like this. the g.o.p. looking to run down health care reform. gretchen: doesn't she have 1-800-sorrows? brian: i think so. gretchen: why small businesses could be dishing out more than $50 billion next year if it passes. dave: and mother-in-laws pretty easy targets for jokes like this one. >> ok. now that we know we're having a little girl, what i'd like to know is will you plan on naming that little -- dave: however, the mother-in-law who is the bud of one joke doesn't she it's so funny.

she is suing that story. brian: you can't sue a comedienne. school supplies?

in march. toyota says it can't afford the facility by itself. brian? brian: thank you, dave. 570,000 americans filed for unemployment last week. that number may rise. according to a report out today millions of jobs are at risk under the current health care bills proposed in congress, especially the house. that's because they require small business owners to provide their employees with health insurance which may result in more layoffs. if they don't provide it they'll have to pay money, a tax. mark wilson is the author of the report done by the heritage foundation. this was supposed to save us money. it was supposed to be good for people. how can it hurt the business owner? >> well, the house and the senate bill both contain a mandate that employers either provide health insurance to their employees or pay a tax to the federal government. and there are lots of small businesses out there that currently don't offer health insurance to their employees. that cost will be passed on to these workers either in the form

of fewer job opportunities and possibly losing your job to lower wage growth or other cuts and benefits. brian: so the small business owner, he's got a restaurant, trying to make it work. all of a sudden he finds out my employees need health insurance. i'm not going to give it to them. if i can't give it to them, i have to pay a tax. if i have to pay a tax, i have to look at my budget and say i've got to cut from somewhere and i'm going to have to cut out employees or cut that person's salary in order to pay for their health insurance. it's a self-defeating fix. >> for some employers that will be the choice that they'll be faced with. they'll either reduce hours of some employees, may reduce other benefits, parking benefits, paid vacation, days may be fewer for some workers. there's a report is of way that employers can adjust to this mandate, including raising prices. brian: you put together this chart to come up with how many jobs could potentially be lost

if this bill becomes law. let's take a look at that right now. as we zoom in across the studio, we see in terms of jobs at risk, you've got 5.2 million jobs at risk. and you have 27.5 million, a total number of employees without company insurance. so that would put five million jobs at risk. we can ill afford that. you see what's coming down each and every week. >> this would be a difficult time to impose a mandate, particularly when the economy is struggling to create any jobs at all. and employers would have a choice of, you know, hours, cutting hours, reducing hours further and second-guessing themselves about whether they even want to bring on additional employees as the economy improves. so, yes, there will be 5.2 million workers at risk of losing their jobs. brian: and costs businesses up to $50 billion a year as an added benefit cost.

it's hard to memorize a thousand pages, but that's what's inside the numbers. mark wilson, thanks. >> thank you. brian: you know you're having a rough time when the good news is that you're in a holding pattern. that is where the president is in the polls. support for his health care poll has stopped falling but his approval numbers have not what it means, next. and she was the last to see 6-year-old haley cummings before she went missing. >> there's things going on with you about haley gone missing that you know about that you're not telling anybody. brian: and for the fourth time she has miserably failed a lie detector test. and our plaza is jam packed like never before, seeing the world's largest touring grill here with a couple of grill masters to show you some tips on bratwurst. yes, it's our breakfast.

gretchen: a story we've been following closely for you, that teenage run away claims her parents will kill her from converting from islam to christianity. their strict muslim faith calls for so-called honor killings. our next guest knows all too well what she's going through. he and his family also converted to crist yantd and knows rifqa very, very well. she went to him for counseling and revealed her fears to him. good morning to you. >> good morning. good to be with you. gretchen: thank you very much. when did you meet rifqa? >> probably about a year ago, a little over a year ago now. she contact med through facebook -- contacted me through facebook because she had heard a message i gave at one of our churches. in the message i gave -- she listened to the message online. basically i shared a little bit about my story about my dad's

story, how he became a christian and became to know jesus as the son of god who died on the cross for our sins. when she heard that, she had been moved because she had shared with me that she had been living in fear for the last three years. she didn't even think it was possible that her parents could become christians. she wanted to hear my story and a little bit how i survived and how i became a christian. so my wife and i and my daughter, we felt like it was pertinent to meet this young lady. so we set up a meeting with her. our initial meeting, i just wanted to hear her story personally. gretchen: we've been hearing from her now as well. this is back a year ago you saw her in ohio. then she fled to florida because i guess those fears became more real for her. let's listen to what she said just last week. >> i've been a christian for four years of my life. i love my family. i love them so much. i love my parents and yet i am in fear of my life because of

the abuse that i've encountered. gretchen: you are a christian now who converted from islam. are her fears about being killed if she goes back to her family justified? >> absolutely. they're absolutely justified. what people don't know, especially here in the west in this country, is that there are over 5,000 -- this isn't just anybody's estimates. this is according to the united nations, about 5,000 honor killings every year in the world because of their faith. muslims coming to jesus as their savior. this is what they go through. even in 2008 there's been a couple of honor killings in this country. a lot of people, what they won't realize is that this is a real, legitimate fear. honestly, i have had the opportunity to actually travel to the middle east and sit down with people who have become

christians from the muslim faith. the fear that's on their face is -- the fear that they communicate is very real. when i sat down with rifqa over a year ago, it was like being back in the middle east seeing those. gretchen: very interesting perspective. thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us this morning. the governor of florida will have the ultimate authority of what happens to this child. if you would like to e-mail him your thoughts, here's his e-mail address. brian and dave, i have a sneaky suspicion -- did you already get a hotdog? dave: not yet. brian: a hotdog or a bratwurst. gretchen: save one more me. dave: i'm going to wait. i like them good and cooked. first, comedy not so funny to one comedienne who's here. she's getting sued for her jokes by her mother-in-law. we'll talk to that comedienne next. brian: and happy birthday to my childhood friend, shania twain. boy, am i proud of her.

their critique comes as the obama administration prepares to launch a new p.r. campaign to counter taliban propaganda. gretchen: a near naked man jumped on a school bus filled with teenage students, overpowered the driver and hijacked the bus. kids were screaming and jumping out the back while the 23-year-old, eric pittman, was carineing down the road. one student tried to save the bus but it crashed into a ditch. >> kids was jumping off the bus as the bus moved down the roadway. i seen -- they had uniforms on. i didn't know what was going on at first. then i seen this young lady say help us, help us, somebody took our bus. gretchen: pittman had pushed and hit some students while on the bus. at least two kids and the bus driver had minor injuries. by the time police arrested pittman after the crash, he had decided to become completely naked. that's two crimes. dave: frightening as well. the new apple iphone one of the hottest sellers out there. but a group of thieves in arizona didn't bother paying for a few of them.

a big man to do something like that. dave: what is the reaction when you show up at tail gates, say nascar or super bowl, events such as? >> one of the things, especially when a guy comes up and says i'd love to have this grill in the backyard and the wife or girlfriend says your yard isn't even that big to have that. so a lot of heads turn when they see us grilling up here. dave: i'll see if i can get you at my next barbecue. are any of those ready? brian and gretchen are starved. it is 6:45. i think they like mustard. guys? brian: yeah. bring all you can. plus, should we put the call out to new york city to come down, we have food? dave: i'm going to try to feed some of the folks on the sidewalk. we'll just roam the streets. brian: you could feed a country. look at the size of that thing. dave: we've already got about 100. we'll be feeding the people of new york in a bit. brian: thanks, dave. come back in.

they recommend combining it with the seasonal flu shot. there may be now a way for doctors to detect early symptoms of alzheimer's disease. britney spears? researchers say they can identify those at risk by asking them whether they recognize celebrities like britney spears, george clooney or johnny carson. interesting. dave: is the debate over health care reform taking a toll on president obama? well, a recent gallup poll shows his approval rating has slipped to 50%. that's down 19% from its inauguration in january. i'm joined by nate silver, president and founder of 538.com who correctly predicted the 2008 presidential winner in 29 states. all right, nate. tell me about this. if it falls below 50% by november that would mark the third fastest fall since world war ii. is that the key here? how quickly this number is

falling? >> i don't know if it matters how much it falls. it's where it's at on any given day, especially next november when you're having congressional elections. there's a strong relationship between the president's approval number and how many seats the incumbent party will lose. dave: when you look at this number, what's the most disturbing part if you're the president? if it falls below 50 before november, other than gerald ford and president bill clinton, that would be the quickest drop since world war ii, saying that this country is suddenly very divisive on a man who promised to bring this country together. >> he won with 53% of the vote not 59% or 60%. it's still a relatively small varnlgin. margin. about 95% of people who voted for obama still approve of his performance. and likewise, 95% of mccain voters don't like what the president is doing. so things haven't really changed all that much. if he loses support among democrats, that's when you have problems. they won't turn out.

dave: independents might be his trouble. independents right now favor this health care reform in the 30's, depending which poll you look at. overall, 53% do not favor this plan. only 42% favor the plan. again, as i mentioned, isn't the independents the president's big problem here on health care, because they are not behind this bill? >> there are always swing votes in almost everything. that's where elections are decided in this country, with the independent voters. i think the situation is a little more complicated on health care. if you ask voters to give information about what the bill would actually do, then it becomes more popular. they don't know very much about the bill. obama is not doing a great job of selling it. there are people on the right -- dave: people certainly aren't going to read 1,000-page bill in terms of the citizens. it's about perception and that's the ones he's losing right now. >> sure. there are things partly in his

fault and partly spun out of control, but he hasn't been the confident candidate, the confident president we saw in the first three months. he's been missing aet beat for the last three -- missing a beat for the last three months. dave: is eric holder deciding to investigate the c.i.a., the teghtors, the people -- interrogators, the people some say are keeping this country safe in this war on terror? how popular is the investigation into c.i.a. agents a problem for the president because it's distracting him from his health care message? >> i think it depends on which poll you look at. there were gallup polls in april that showed a slight majority in favor. i think what he's doing here is to try and reach out to democrats on the left. dave: on the far left. >> you know what you describe as far left i might disagree with. but you have a lot of people who are progressives, activists, who are not real happy with the president on the public option on health care, who were expecting more on, say, gays in the military. it hasn't happened. they're getting impatient.

we've waited a long time to have this trifecta in office and so far we haven't seen very much. dave: got to wrap it up. appreciate you being here. >> thank you. dave: a horrifying story. a little girl snatched off the street emerges after 18 years. where she was held captive and what happened to her coming up. .then a mother-in-law who's tired of being the butt of the joke like this one. >> ok. now that we know we're having a little girl, what i'd like to know is what you plan on naming that little chachka. dave: now the woman being made fun of is suing her own daughter-in-law. that daughter-in-law here live in a couple of minutes. . why ford? why now?" you know what i do? i introduce them to the most fuel-efficient midsize sedans... ...and suvs in america. i don't know if you've heard, but this fuel efficiency thing.. kind of a big deal.

anyway, ford and lincoln mercury have you covered... with showrooms full of fuel-efficient cars, trucks, suvs, crossovers, and hybrids. how's that for going green? now, get 0% financing plus up to $1,500 cash back on most ford, lincoln and mercury vehicles.

gretchen: this story is no laughing matter, comedian being sued by own mother-in-law for the family jokes she does in her stand-up act. take a look. >> i have a jewish mother-in-law. maybe the light is so bright because of the highlights i'm a black woman with a jewish mother-in-law. i knew there was going to be. have you ever met someone in the first five seconds you say through your teeth i can't stand this witch. >> i met ruthy. i said ruthy, thank you so much for having me. the pleasure is all mine, have a seat, elliott, put my pocket book away. [ laughter ] brian: juning us now sunda. welcome to the couch. >> thank you for having me. brian: what has this done to your family? >> it's put a strain. it's gotten better there was strain in the relationship between my husband and myself. it was shocking. brian: was it your husband's launch -- law firm that was

representing you against your own mother's lawsuit? >> who else was going to do it. gretchen: you were lucky enough to be married to an torn. you were doing these jokes for some time and originally your mother-in-law thought it was funny. >> they all thought it was funny. the whole family thought it was funny. i cannot imagine why it just suddenly imagined why this turned into not funny. gretchen: do they need money? >> they don't need money. i need their money. gretchen: what is the reason given to the family about by your husband's mother would now sue you. >> defamation of character. her community, slander. i have no idea. maybe she wants to be a stand-up. i have no idea. brian: here is the worry, if you lose, and mother-in-laws are no longer on the table. everyone has got to cut 15 minutes off their act. >> everyone is worried. brian: doesn't it start with your mother-in-law and work your

way back. >> there is a loft problems going on. at the laugh factory. they are talking should we do this or not do this? of course people are now divorced and they talk about their ex-mother-in-laws and now a comic called me and told me her mother-in-law told her not to talk about her in her act. i said are you going to talk about her? she asked me not to i said maybe you shouldn't, take it from me. brian: you got it if you have a good five minutes at someone's be expense, so what? it's your career. >> comedy comes from truth and your own reality. my reality is a black and jewish household. it's not a normal every day affair. let me say that. gretchen: we should say obviously your husband is in a spot because it's his mom and you are his wife. he is supporting you. >> i have his children. brian: that he a good point. gretchen: i didn't think about the ramifications how the court case could effect everything. it? >> it effects a lot.

gretchen: you are going to court september 8th. brian: when is the next. >> every saturday in laugh-in in hollywood and in new york. brian: you bring up gretchen carlson we will sue for everything you had. gretchen: a couple of bank accounts worth a quarter of a million dollars each. turns out democratic congressman charlie wrong gel forgot another million dollars in assets as well. what else could be hiding away. brian: doesn't he write these laws. she was snatched off the street as a young girl. her parents thought she was dead. 18 years later she comes home alive after living a sickening nightmare with two kids.

held captive that entire time. this is when she was 11. right there. details sickening. how an officer who checked on the home for years never knew she was there. dave: unbelievable story. a politician running for another term in public office decides to attack overweight people. >> you are looking at a youtube video i put up from, that was my opinion, um-huh. >> you are spoking fun at heavy people. terrify dave what in the world was this guy thinking? guess what? he is still defending himself. that story coming up. brian: this man admitted cheating on his wife. she decided to get creative with his punishment. the husband. husband forced to wear that sign and stand on that wrote. yes, i cheated. this is my punishment. that's the sign and that's the humiliation. dave: that's going soft. brian: really? our slogan comes to us from diana in california. thanks for the news, thanks for

the chat, "fox & friends" is where it's at. [captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- gretchen: live shot inside the john f. kennedy library. that's ted kennedy lying in repose. people come to pay their respects. i believe in a few hours. 8:00 eastern time. the general public will be allowed back in. apparently they were there until 2:00 a.m. last night. some people in line. dave: rolling through by the thousands all day long. i'm sure that will continue through the day on friday. brian: he will be in remows until 3:00 today. public can get there, loved ones, of course. tonight 7:00 to 9:00 invitation only. celebration of his life. i imagine a lot of v.i.p.'s there. many will get up and talk. as we heard the vice president will be talking as well.

tomorrow is on saturday will be the private funeral from 10:00 to 12:30. shepard smith will have our coverage. dave: starting here at 10:00. you will are here tomorrow morning. brian: 7:00 to 10:00. with all the pomp and circumstances around the passing of ted kennedy. meanwhile, three minutes after the hour. i could not believe this story. gretchen: amazing story of a girl who had been kidnapped back in 1991, 18 years ago, this beautiful child, 11-year-old jaycee dugard. now they have found this one, 29 years old now. they found her in antioch, california. a sex offender abducted her at the bus stop way back when. stepfather accused of the crime. this woman living in the shed for 18 years in the back of somebody's property. the sonkd has given her two children. he is the father of the two children who were also found with her 11 and 15 years old. dave: again, she, jaycee, is only 29. so do the math. she had one at age 14.

just three years after she was taken. go back to 1991. she was on a bus stop. her stepfather watched her waiting for the bus. a man pulled up, put her in the car. he got on a bike and rode off to no avail. 18 years later she is with her family this morning. fill garrido is the man. is he married to nancy garrido. how did they catch him? he seemed to turn himself in. he was on the campus of berkeley handing out religious information. that's not allowed. they did a background check on him. turns out he was a sex offender. they turned him into his parole officer. jaycee garrido. he brought these children. why he brought these children and thought he would get away with it. gretchen: 18 years i guess you sore comfortable. maybe you will find out more. the whole thing is so bizarre. can you imagine being the parents of this child and finding out that 18 years later

she is alive but the emotional ramifications of being held in a shed for 18 years. you can't imagine. brian: this guy in 1971 was jailed for kidnapping and for rape. got out, had a probation officer who went there many, many times and never spotted this area behind the house where the sheds were located, all three of them. they never saw doctor and never saw people and never went to school. here is a quote from the jail house interview with garrido even according to his own brothers has been a whack job and lsd abuser. gretchen: what consume he -- does he mean he turned his life around? because he brought the kids to the authorities. brian: he was handing out pamphlets professing the power of finding god. that's what caused somebody to walk over to him. you can't hand out these pamphlets here and who are these girls? they do a background check on him. they have find he has a miserable past.

they call his probation officer and haul him in. this guy is charles man sonnesque in his derangement. dave: he has a blog on religious web site where he was handing out information. he talked about what's going to come out controlling sound, very creepy stuff in the "new york times" this morning. what exactly that means. you would assume that means he was controlling the voices of jaycee do you dugard children. aunt was interviewed he visited me with the two girls. after garrido left. she picked up the phone and called the brother and said i think one of those girls is his. those girls have his eyes. gretchen: why wouldn't the aunt call the cops for goodness sake. they know is he a sex offender. brian: what was the parole officer thinking? why wouldn't they walk into the backyard. dave: have this girl stay. she is 29. brian: a lot of girls go by.

all these hints and clues about who these girls were. gretchen: what about the wife with this guy who was in on this entire abduction. she is just as guilty in my mind in this whole thing. dave: absolutely. gretchen: headline as we continue to follow that story. we you are looking at the long lines headed into his brother's presidential library, john f. kennedy as people show up to pay their financial respects. live outside the library for us this morning is our own molly lion line. people waiting to get back into that library. i won ger if they will all be able to get in by 3:00. >> last night at 10:00 the line was estimated 21,000 people. a huge line yesterday. as you mentioned earlier, it was open until 2:00 a.m. yesterday. they are expected to shut down around 3:00 to begin the preparations for senator ted kennedy's life. there are early risers that are already in this line. hundreds of people weaving around the corner of the

sidewalk. joining me to give us her insights as to why she came down today was ann zel larr. she got up at 3:00 in the morning and drove down from new hampshire. ann, why are you here? >> my husband and i felt it was important to come and honor the memory of not just ted kennedy but his entire family. for all that they -- they have always impressed us as a family that gave so much for this country and asked so little. especially considering they didn't have to give anything. they were a family of privilege and they could have simply relaxed and enjoyed that life but, instead, they choose to serve on all of our behalfs. >> you mentioned earlier you like so many people a personal experience attached to the kennedy family. >> yes. i worked as a teenager for president kennedy before he was elected. ringing doorbells and canvassing. and i also worked for bobby.

i didn't have the pleasure to work for teddy, but i have always supported his career and now i think the thing that is remarkable, people -- we standing in line here talking and people in line here who didn't necessarily agree with him politically and several reporters have said why do you think he has generated such feelings from people? and i think it's because he is such an example of redemption. so many of us -- he was human. he made mistakes. he fell on his face in a very public way. and, yet, went on to redeem his life by good acts on behalf of everyone. and i think everybody can connect with that. >> thank you. ann zel larr driving down from new hampshire. one of many folks who drove in across many states and across the country to pay their respects. gretchen: thank you very much. we will touch base later on in the show.

meantime some democrats appear to be exploiting the death of ted kennedy in an effort to get health care reform passed or at least rejuvenated. interestingly enough, president obama yesterday said let's not even talk about health care reform until after this weekend's events and the funeral and such. obviously they will have to come back to it then. but, in the meantime, several other democrats are saying yes we should actually name this bill now after kennedy. they are using it as a rallying point to gain some steam, i guess. brian: look at some of the quotes and put them up because it's unbelievable because it's thees who who of democrats and those marshalling reform. nancy pelosi said right now we should have him fulfill his dream and get health care passed. kathleen sebelius also said the same thing. said something similar. gretchen: she said if you are truly interested in honoring his legacy best possible legacy is pass health care this year. dave: we have it. let's listen to kathleen sebelius. >> if people are truly interested in honoring his

legacy, the best possible legacy is to pass health reform this year. >> senator kennedy's spirit will infuse the congress towards the goal of providing coverage for all those people who he cared for. dave: so, guys, it sets up the debate. is this exploitation or honoring senator ted kennedy. senator byrd from west virginia wants to rename his bill ted kennedy's name. the problem with that, if this thing is -- i don't want to say killed but doesn't make it through congress are you disrespecting his legacy. people are warning of the well stone effect. paul wellstone a senator died. rallying cry for the democrats. win one for the gipper attitude. warning against just that. brian: now let's look historically if it's worked before. look back on the 60's. lbj was president. jfk was assassinated they wanted to get civil rights done. let's go back in time and see how it worked.

ok. basically i thought we were going to go to a sound at that time. dave: one might argue that it worked. brian: he got. dave: he got civil rights legislation passed but critics might say kennedy already had the votes lined up. that's what supporters of dend would say he already had the votes. lbj simply forced it throughout senate. he gotcha done on the back, perhaps, of the death of kennedy. gretchen: take a look at some of the other headlines for a friday. iran's president wants his rival locked up. mahmoud ahmadinejad called for those who led the post election protest to be prosecuted. he told thousands in tehran can't let the big fish off the hook. he didn't mention anyone by name but many ahmadinejad allies have been calling for -- a plea agreement is shedding more light on the fraud case of texas banker alan stanford. former stanford cfo james davis has now pleaded guilty to

conspiracy. he detailed how stanford and his staff bribed a regulator with $8,000 super bowl tickets and other extra incentives. meantime, stanford was hospitalized yesterday with an irregular heart beat. a crowd of 400 erupts in cheers at a town hall hosted by minnesota congresswoman michelle balk man. >> we can disagree about what the best is but i will tell you what, i would far prefer to have american medical care than i would health care in the u.k. any day of the week. >> she is right. we got the best health care in the world, the very best. gretchen: more town halls set for today. among them maryland, wisconsin, and nevada. gretchen: this home in new york city once belonged to house and means chair charlie wrong gel. he sold it for a million bucks. that was news. he finally reported it this week. they are finding his net worth more than he said it was.

keeps getting bigger as he remembers certain assets that he has. dave: this guy remains the chairman of the house weighs and means in charge of tax law. mind boggling. brian: debate in the middle of it. you are going to love it. don't go away. this is "fox & friends." gathering dust, as pollen floats through the air. but with the strength of zyrtec ® , the fastest, 24-hour allergy relief, i promise not to wait as long to go for our ride. with zyrtec ® i can love the air ™ .

special interest groups are trying to block progress on health care reform, derailing the debate with myths and scare tactics. desperately trying to stop you from discovering that reform won't hurt medicare. it will actually strengthen it by eliminating billions of dollars in waste and lowering drug prices. tell congress not to let myths get in the way of fixing what's broken with health care.

learn the facts at healthactionnow.org. i had a heart attack at 57. my doctor told me i should've been... doing more for my high cholesterol. what was i thinking? but now i trust my heart to lipitor. when diet and exercise are not enough, adding lipitor may help. unlike some other cholesterol lowering medications, lipitor is fda approved to reduce the risk... of heart attack, stroke, and certain kinds of heart surgeries... if you have several common risk factors... or heart disease. lipitor has been extensively studied... with over 16 years of research. lipitor is not for everyone, including people with liver problems... and women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. you need simple blood tests to check for liver problems. tell your doctor if you are taking other medications, or if you have any muscle pain or weakness. this may be a sign of a rare but serious side effect. i learned the hard way. but you may be able to do something. have a heart to heart with your doctor...

about your risk. and about lipitor. brian: is leon panetta's future as director of the cia hanging in the balance? rumors still swirling, despite the white house's denial that panetta tried to step down. listen. >> we were told by our sources, current and former intelligence officials that and advisors to the president on such matters that he threatened to quit. now, they deny that they say he has no plans to resign whatsoever. but we're also told that at least one possible replacement candidate was contacted by the white house and asked would he

be in position to take over if necessary. bill: who is that? >> i can't reveal that name. brian: on our panel right now to talk about this and where we go from here with our intelligence bureau former fbi investigator william daily right to my right. former deputy assistant secretary of defense peter brookes who is also a senior fellow at the heritage foundation. michael schurr. welcome to all of you. first off, michael, if leon panetta witnesses his agency being taken down and investigated, despite his urgings not to, should leon panetta quit? >> clearly he suld quit. he has no influence at all with the president. he is a repeat of jim wolsy under clinton. he has not been able to help the agency. more important than that, i think, he was the one that stopped the cia effort to try to kill al qaeda senior leaders. what kind of defense of america is that? he is just a useless fellow. brian: he is the type of person who also for this moment is trying to urge the attorney general's office not to start

investigating past interrogation techniques, peter brookes they are doing it anyway. what does that mean to the cia? >> i think it means the obama administration is at war with the cia. today you are going to have fellows in the field out there deciding whether they need to be more concerned about getting the terrorists or getting lawyers. and getting liability insurance. i don't think this is good at all for the country. it may be a victory for some on the left but it's certainly not a victory for our country. brian: they're saying the fbi is going to do a lot of the interrogations. barack obama said and was announcing yesterday that bill daily, there is going to be a super contingency interrogation unit that's going to go around. so if bin laden is caught tomorrow. the cia doesn't talk to him. this new panel yet to be named will. >> i will tell you, brian, this is a major shift in u.s. national security policy of the fbi has never had responsibility for gaining positive intelligence overseas it is a domestic law enforcement agency now looking at terrorism. this is a major shift. you know, when you start looking at this, i think, brian, and we see the fact that we're trying to close guantanamo bay, we are

starting to mirandize people caught in the field and now we have the fbi as a muscle tie agency group interrogating people, it starts to suggest that we're going more towards criminal prosecutions in the future as owe pofsed to just gleaning intelligence. brian: what about this, inside the cia. mike, you can pick up the phone and call anyone. tell me about the morale. >> it's not so much the morale. it's, you know, the real problem, brian, is the morale is obviously bad. but clearly for the cia now to be answering to a president for the first time, i think, a sitting president who has given aid and comfort to the enemy, both psychologically and materially, it's very distressing thing. because ultimately the agency is responsible for protecting americans. the president obviously does not care. brian: well, they are going to be risk averse because they don't want to end up in jail and their families compromised. he welcomed home the lockerbie bomber with a parade. enough to moammar kadafi wants

to come to new jersey with a parade. should we let him? our team debates when we come back. come on. [ kissing ] come on. good girl. mollie's never looked better. i really was amazed to see the change in her coat. people stop us when we're walking, and they'll say, "did you shine up her spots?" [ woman announcing ] just another way purina one... unlocks the brilliance of nature... to transform the life of your dog. for us to see the difference in mollie-- we were really excited about it. it just makes you feel wonderful. [ announcer ] it's amazing what one can do.

vvo: when you can serve yourat family breakfast from walmart,

vo: for a little over $2 a person.

>> terrorists should be put in prison. they should not be allowed to be celebrated as heroes. to have kadafi come to our country and want to room free in our country and spend nights in peaceful calm, that's an outrage. brian: that was john adler right here on "fox & friends" 24 hours ago. he joins many other new jersey lawmakers outraged over libyanmaker moammar kadafi's visit to america and plans to stay in new jersey mansion his country bought. our political panel continues. peter, let's start with you. shoved we allow moammar kadafi to pitch a tent literally in new jersey? i understand tradition of coming

to the u.n. in this case, considering his outrageous conduct with the return of the lockerbie bomber, i see no reason to allow him to come to the united states or to new jersey. >> keep in mind, michael, did he what we asked him to do, give up nuclear weapons, tell us how he got them and allow us to remove him. >> to save his skin. it's very hard not to let him into the country when secretary rice, secretary clinton, president obama have all hand held with him in various meetings around the world because we want their oil. it's very hard to say no. kadafi is just a perfect example of how much an investment in 150 caliber shell to put in his head 25 years ago would have saved everyone a lot of agony. >> we have taken him off the terrorism list as well, brian. brian: i know, like i said, as bad a guy as he is and as bad a resume looks bill daily, we asked him to do that and he did it and he helped expose the network. >> plus the fact we have taken him off the list. he is a leader of the country.

the fact we have the u.n. here is we always have this can a cough any of visitors. castro, arafat. and pounding the table with the shoe in our backyard. we have the u.n. weave can only restrict him from going more than 25 or 30 miles outside of the u.n. other than that, they have to be here. brian: you know what, peter? kadafi's son is quoted as the saying he doesn't understand the outrage. the kindness of the scottish government has changed the perceptions that muslims have of the west and of the british. they have always thought was crusaders. have we helped changed some minds by allowing the lockerbie killer to go home? >> no, i don't think so at all. i think it was an outrageous decision on the part of the scotts to allow him to go home. what about the voice? what about the people? what about the families of those victims of that 19 8 bombing? i see no reason they should have let him go. it's just like barack obama going to cairo to make amends

with the muslim world. we haven't really seen any changes. osama bin laden hasn't come in and said i'm giving it up. i'm giving up the jihad. everything is forgiven buy it. so i don't see this as really making a big difference whatsoever. bill: mike, i have seen you before on the show and you are always so direct. i have never seen you so angry and disenchanted. do you believe that our country is closer than ever to being attacked again. >> sure we are going to be attacked, brian. it doesn't care. rahm emanuel wants an attack. he loves crisis. and crisis, the democrats, he says, can get all of their programs through. these people simply do not care. i wanted to add one point. kadafi did not help us on a.q. con. the british security service and the had the goods on the a.q. con since the 990s. the government decided not to move against them. they only moved against them recently but the clandestined services of britain and the united states had the goods long

ago on a.q. con. brian: thanks for correcting the record. it's a terror debate and cia debate we're going to be having because it's back in the crosshairs as the investigation continues. william daily, peter brooks, michael schurr, thanks. >> thank you, sir. brian: let's go back inside and tell us what's coming up, guys. >> speaker pelosi can't take it anymore. gretchen, she is asking for a loan for $100,000 from democrats. we will tell you why she needs all that money. gretchen: this video mocks overweight people. get, this it was made by a politician running for a spot on the school board. we will tell you exactly where that happened. brian. dave: she is the new master of the universe that's what you can call her. miss universe from venezuela is here. she will join us live on the couch. she has only been in four pageants. how did she get the hang of.. ts so quick. gretchen: and she is tall. dave: seriously, she is really tall. the great taste

day. dave: it's over. gretchen: let's not announce it yet. brian: i think they know. gretchen: i'm trying not to think that it's so. we are so glad to have david werley here. we will be going out and listening to his music in a little bit. meantime let's talk about health care reform. maybe you have seen some advertisements on your television screens pro or against. but one place you are not going to see a specific ad that is against government health care son the networks of nbc and abc. because apparently now they are refusing to run at least one of these ads from the league of american voters. you take a look. think to yourself, is this too partisan to be an advertisement because that's the excuse being given. >> how can obama's plan cover 50 million new patients without any new doctors? it can't. it will hurt our seniors. and medicare as we know it. rationed coverage and care. limit life-saving medicines. impose long delays. dave: that of course is, a fair question to pose. how will this system hold up

without adding more doctors to it? we are already on a shortage of primary care doctors. add at least 15 or not 30 or 40 billion more people back on to this. how will we have enough doctors? nbc says they question the facts. abc is not running this ad. gretchen: nbc says it has not turned down the ad and they will reconsider it with some revisions. you wonder what they would have to revise. here is what abc says. gretchen: the only problem is w. that is back in june abc news did an entire prime time show from the white house with the president from his point of view on health care. dave: if you will remember that special, they refused to run ads against the health care plan during that special. so that was a partisan night. it was at the white house. it was the president's message

on health care as well it seesms a bit of a contradiction here, brian. brian: dick morris came up with the ad. he is their strategist. he says we are not looking to take a position. we are looking to change the entire -- the way -- we want to change the focus on health care reform. we are not coming out for or against it. so, he has an argue. his organization is ready to go. we will see where it goes. 25 minutes before the top of the hour. here are your headlines. meanwhile, before this plane collided with this helicopter over the hudson river, remember that in new york? the air traffic controller on duty should have warned the pilot on the plane. that's what the national transportation safety board is now saying. the ntsb is also recommending the f.a.a. maintain tighter control over the hudson river air corridor and possibly not text their friends while people are up in the air. gretchen: more drugs were in michael jackson's home before his death including marijuana and generic form of valium.

acting on a tip from family members. authorities were apparently told they would find heroin in his bedroom but they did not find that drug. dave? dave: well, he was one of the youngest detainees held at guantanamo bay. and now he is suing the united states for compensation. mohammed joe wad was released and returned to go home to afghanistan earlier this week. his family says he was 12 years old when he was arrested in 2002. he was in custody for seven years, accused of injuring two u.s. soldiers and their interpreter by throwing a grenade at their vehicle. a u.s. district judge says he was coerced into confessing that crime. brian: house speaker nancy pelosi wants some cash. she is making you are jest plea for money to fight what she calls the g.o.p. fear bess health care. she wants to raise more than $100,000 before the end of the month. they don't have a bank account for this? her email is tamed at small democratic voters. in it she writes:

gretchen: this youtube video is weighing down a connecticut politician's bid for elected office. that's an understatement. rick star who is running for school board in south windsor filmed overweight people at universal studios. he added nasty comments and carnival music. >> you are looking at a youtube video i put up from ♪ that was my opinion, um-huh. >> you are poking fun at heavy peenchts i sure am. yeah. but i'm also obscuring their i'd tis. not making it known who they're. simply a whims call video did i a couple years ago. gretchen: some of those overweight people could be his constituents. star was on the school board from 2005 to 2007. he wants the seat back. of course, many residents not so thrilled right now that that was revealed.

dave: doesn't strike me as a thin fellow either. kind of ironic. jeremy piven can now breathe a huge sigh of relief. the man who place ari gold on the hbo show entourage is off the hook for breach of contract. it was brought against him by the producers of the play. he feels vindicated: the 44-year-old pulled out of the play saying he had mercury poison from eating too much sushi in new york city. i hate when that happens. gretchen: i tweeted about this next topic already and i had a ton of you tweeting back. i should say twittered. a man was forced to wear a sign on the side of the road and it says. this look at that i cheated. this is my punishment. during rush hour. brian: looks so sad. doesn't he? gretchen: i have gotten a lot of

comments on this. but, first, let's see what the cheating husband had to say about it. >> i figured i got to do what i have got to do to make things right, you know. i can't really say a lot of the things. but a lot of good lucks and a lot of god bless you. dave: did he make things right, guys? he was out there at 9:00 a.m. she texted him at 11:00 a.m. and said you are off the hook. come on home. he made things right in two hours wearing a sign? dave: stop it. gretchen: somebody tweeted me better punishment. not as harsh as what happened to bobbitt. dave: hard to argue with that. brian: janice dean outside to weigh in on the weather. what's happening? >> i didn't know i was outside. so the weather girl, don't tell anyone, forgot her umbrella. i stole this umbrella from the green room. gretchen: all right. >> thanks to the mystery person whose umbrella i am holding right here on sixth avenue. ok. yes, it's raining. it's going to rain across the

northeast for much of the weekend i'm afraid. let's take a look at the maps. there is tropical storm danny. the good news about this it is just hanging on to tropical storm status. 40 mile-per-hour sustained winds. very distorted tropical storm. it is still going to east coast and if we could advance ahead, i'm going to he show you where that track is. we get a brand new track as of 11:00 a.m. once we take a look at that you can see a 45 mile-per-hour storm for much of its duration as tinches up closer to cape cod and the islands on saturday. and into sunday. so we'll keep an eye on that. again, that forecast cone of uncertainty, anything can happen if it wobbles to the east or the west. at this point in time we are just talking about a tropical storm instead of a hurricane. so that is excellent news. the east coast, unfortunately, is going to remain unsettled for much of the weekend. you can take a look at the satellite radar composite. there it is. so, guys, indoor plans,

barbecues are off. brian, i know you were planning a big one this weekend for much of the staff and crew for "fox & friends," you are off the hook my friend. brian: i'm going to give everybody $10 and tell them to eat on their own. it's kind of a dutch bipartisan be could you. >> i'm going to get this line for 10 bucks i need lunch money. brian: guess who is indoors. gretchen: i'm going to let dave do this because he gets to sit next to her. dave: 84 beautiful contestants but just one crown and the winner of miss universe this year has given her country sixth title in the pageant's 58 years. miss universe from venezuela. also her translater tom ray yes, sir. she is very emotional as you see the picture. >> yes. dave: what do you feel? >> excited. the crown it, fell off, what happened? >> it falls. we were jumping hugging. and my crown fell.

gretchen: that's ok. you still won. it's all right. i understand, tom, she did not believe she could win because venezuela had won last year. [translate] >> it was a challenge. gretchen: not impossible. i understood that part. [ laughter ] >> she loves a good challenge. gretchen: she had not been in very many pageants before. >> yes, four pageants. brian: can you ask her if any country got on her nerves? >> no. no, no. >> she was great. cat fight. gretchen: i hate when it always goes to that. let me ask her something substantive. what will she be doing this year year?

>> funny. first, i want to say that thank you. miss universe organization, mr. mr. for giving me the opportunity. meet and help women -- dave: you have met mr. trump. >> yes. >> what did you think nice guy. >> nice, happy. gretchen: i bet you think that. brian: your mom is russian and polish and your dad is from spain and together they made you. good job, parents. >> yes. dave: can we show how tall she is compared to you real quick? gretchen: thank you for not saying me. congratulations. >> thank you. dave: ' stefani fernandez, congratulations.

gretchen: why did the democrats leave it out of the bill. brian: we told but memphis' schools new rule they won't flunk any student. the superintendent isn't budging. is he here today to explain why.

dave: many say we can't have health care reform without addressing tort reform first. which is, by the way, lawsuits from medical liability. why isn't it being addressed? former dnc chairman howard dean offers up a dose of truth earlier this week. >> here is why tort reform is not in the bill. when you go to pass a really enormous bill like that, the more stuff you put in it, the more enemies you make, right? and the reason that tort reform is not in the bill is because the people who wrote it did not

want to take on the trial lawyers in addition to everybody else they were taking on. and that is the plain and simple truth. gretchen: fox news medical contributor dr. mark segal joins us in the studio. does howard dean have a point. >> is he totally right about that. the trial lawyers are very powerful. they don't want this added to the bill. i have a problem with it, too. i am very pro tort reform. but i don't want to see it pasted on to this bill. because the bill itself is going to change what goes on in my office. in other words, if i have to see more and more patients and i'm being reimbursed less and less and there is a bureaucrat in the room in addition to the lawyer. the lawyer is always there. but a bureaucrat is going to be there. i'm going to make maybe more medical mistakes. the government is not taking any liability for that dave i want to make that point. no one has been making that point. in other words, if the government or insurance company says i can't have a test on one of my patients, something goes wrong, they are not liable. gretchen: that's very interesting point. >> that's got to be changed. gretchen: even with a public option they wouldn't be liable?

>> yeah, right. they are going to say you can't have that test, but they won't be liable. we are seeing with the swine flu vaccine government can take on liability. we need laws to make them take on liability. if they are going to regulate us and we are going to have rationed care, i want them liable. doctors should not be liable for that. dave: if we were to get some tort reform done. if we were to bring down this outrageous cost of malpractice insurance, how would that help the system? how would it bring down costs? >> i think it would help enormously. first of all you have caps. caps are ridiculous. granted if you take out the wrong kidney you deserve to be slammed. there is plenty of malpractice that goes on that's worthy. lawyers jackpot justice. they are going for million asenned millions. they might take a case that doesn't really need it. just in the hope that they will hit the jackpot. gretchen: you hear about settlements or what the jury awards $500 million or something absurd like that. in some cases that is actually paid out. you want caps? >> i want caps. i want decreasing the a

frivolous lawsuits a lot of lawsuits are brought. sometimes they are worthy lawsuits but everybody gets added to this case. everyone that's anywhere near the chart is added. once a doctor visits a lawyer's office, their life is changed. lawyers are very meticulous. they go over your chart. here you should have done this, that, it's educational but you practice in a panic after that defensive medicine. price waterhouse cooper says $2,210,000,000,000 a year goes towards the defensive medicine that doctors practice because of fear of lawsuits. gretchen: very interesting segment, dr. marc segal. great to sigh. have a great weekend. >> thank you. dave: we told but that school district in memphis where kids under 3rd grade won't be held back no matter what. the superintendent who put that no-fail policy in place stands by it. he joins us live to explain why next. gretchen: first on this date in history august 28, 1997, the number one song on the charts you got it, madonna's "who's that girl?"

gretchen: welcome back, everyone. a new policy in memphis schools. no child under third grade will be allowed to flunk. >> the school board now says that instead of doing a retention, they will have extra intervention programs. they started intervention programs last year, or so they said. we did not see any extra intervention specialists in our school that were funded by the city. if you do not have a child reading by the end of the third grade, the challenges are enormous. it is interesting to note to

the from fourth grade to sixth grade, teachers can only fill a child wanonce. gretchen: the memphis city school district chairman, good morning. doug, you helped write the new policy. it would be the only school in the country to do something mike espy. why do you defend this? >> i just reviewed more than 200 studies that come to the singular conclusion that protection does not work. the fact is, of retention does is increase the dropout rate, increase the number of students that are angry and frustrated. interestingly, it diverts resources away from high achieving kids as well. the right thing is not to let them get off scot-free, but the

writing is to have appropriate consequences. -- the right thing is to have appropriate consequences. that is an intensive intervention. gretchen: that takes time and money. we know the public school systems are cast dropped. how are you going to do that? >> it takes time and it takes money. we are spending huge amounts of money wasted in retaining children every year without different itreatment. . this is all about responsibility and accountability to ensure that over a four-year period of time, all of our children are succeeding. gretchen: so you will go to the house is for all the kids who do not go to school on a regular basis?

>> we know that not all the children will come to school. we failed to 30,000 children over the course of five years. every year, we fail thousands of children. we have been doing that for 30 years across the country. it has not resulted in higher achievement. gretchen: third grade students failed at a rate three times to five times higher than the national average. people were critical of this program will say you want to raise the rates. >> not true. >> on the contrary. when you have a kid fail in prayed two or grade three, you have magnified the probability that they have dropped out. that's a far greater cost than the cost of intervention. dropouts, present, medical cost, that is what cost the taxpayers money. gretchen: i think people are suspect that it will actually happen.

[captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- gretchen: we begin with a fox news alert. it is a shocking story.

this little girl was taken off the street at 11 years old and emerges after 18 years. where she was held captive and what happened to her during this time. dave: has the obama administration declared war on the cia? congressman and a ranking member of the homeland security will join us in minutes. brian: one baby, two months. scientists using the genetic material from two moms to harvest a the best dna. from tina in new mexico -- "fox & friends" you get it all. gretchen: this is a fox news alert. you are looking inside the john f. kennedy presidential library. thousands are filing in to pay their respects to senator kennedy.

his life will be celebrated with a service at the library this afternoon. his funeral is tomorrow in boston with a burial following at arlington national cemetery. brian: there's a public hearing today until 3:00 p.m. tonight will be in addition only celebration of his life. gretchen: president obama will leave martha's vineyard tonight. he will be headed to boston for senator kennedy's funeral. he will deliver the eulogy at that service. a muslim girl who says her family plans to kill her because she converted to christianity. we spoke with a muslim turned christian pastor who she went to for advice last year. >> she wanted to hear my story and hear how i survived and how i became a christian.

my wife and i felt it was pertinent to me this young lady. lee set up a meeting with her. i just wanted to hear her personal story. gretchen: the pastor says that after he heard one of her sermons. the search for haleigh cummings. her stepmother has failed a lie detector test. >> i do not know where you're trying to get out of me. item 17-years old?

gretchen: she also failed a voice analysis. ironically she asked for the lie detector test to clear her name. police say the results are not surprising, but they do not have a probable cause to make an arrest. live pictures of shuttle discovery after it overnight launch was scrubbed again to the problem was a malfunction would fill valve. engineers are working quickly tried to fix it. remember the movie "heather's"? is being made into a tv show. a sequel in the film was the filly in the works -- was definitely in the works. i do not remember the movie.

brian: i am looking forward to geraldo's visit. dave: got the boat tied up. brian: it is good news of we're talking about a rescue to the kidnapping case solved. the girl is alive. her name is jaycee lee dugard. she was kidnapped in 1991. she is 29 now. she has two kids. this is the second major recovery where most people thought all hope was lost. the father of elizabeth smart, who was also found after a number of years, joins us on the phone. your thoughts on this case? >> i am thrilled for jaycee

dugard. tuz think of anybody being held for 18 years -- to think of anybody else for 18 years. our heart goes out to her. elises can be a starting point to end her nightmare from this monster -- at least this can be a starting point. california talked about releasing 40,000 sex offenders next year. i think this just reinforces what some of these people are like. we really need to focus. when you look at the adam walsh act, we need to make this work so that it really places these monsters in a place where they will not victimize children.

>> i remember covering elizabeth's disappearance and speaking with you and the rest of the family. isn't the fact that so much of the shadow of suspicion falls over you and the family -- doesn't that exacerbates the horror of you're missing child? isn't that something that aggravates your trauma? we just all thsaw the haliegh cummings case. in this case, i saw the father was guilty. and the same thing with deal,

with all due respect. for all your pain and suffering, we looked at you and said, is he telling the truth? doesn't that make this even worse than it really is? >> i'd think it definitely makes it more difficult. the families go through it. so many times it is the family. unfortunately, there's no way of not investigating if parents were involved. it would be wonderful if there was someon way of determining. right up until this point, he is finally been vindicated from the nightmare. >> stranger of suctioabductionse relatively well ricrare.

>> i feel sorry for the way jaycee dugard has gone through this. he kept her locked up. yet never been to my doctor or dentist. her children have never been to make a doctor or dentist. it will be long road to change things around. dave: another question people ask, she was there 18 years. people wonder how does she not get out. this is a grown woman with two children. are those for questions? >> more than likely -- in elizabeth's case, she did try to get away. every time she tried to get away, she was caught and brought back. you get to the point where you feel like there's not an opportunity of getting away. even when the police came close to her, i know that she felt

like somehow she would not have the opportunity of getting away, and it would just become worse. some people talk about stockholm syndrome. gretchen: imagine 18 years. >> elizabeth was using a different name when the cops first stop church. she did not immediately identify herself. nor did jaycee dugard. the fact that the captives begin to identify with the captors, that is a psychological given. gretchen: especially in this case. now she is the mother of the sex offender's two children. >> i think that is the point. when people talk about stockholm syndrome, elizabeth had to write in this diary every night.

at the bottom, she wrote in french, i hit them and i love my parents. i do not believe that she ever to go into the stockholm syndrome. when you think of yourself being at risk, but your two children, that would make to comply that much more. brian: we know that this girl was held from the age of 11 to 29. she has an 11th-year old and 15- year-old pierre ye. phillip garrido was handed out religious pamphlets at the university of berkeley. he was jailed in 1971 for kidnapping someone. he blocked in with his wife and all three of them and this whole thing happened.

how could they not have known all these years? >> isn't that the truce? -- isn't that the truce? it is amazing that he could get by. i do not know what kind of parole follow up he had. you would think they would check. gretchen: the river there apparently. and also, someone called the cops two years ago and said there were children on the property. they knew he was a sex offender. >> in this case, garrido had a combination of remorse and a total insanity. he can to justify his her read the deed -- he can to justify this by being kind to the victim and the victim's children. thought he was redeemed in some sequoya. i believe that the basic

perpetrators will use that. gretchen: thank you very much. coming up, has the obama administration declared war on the cia? congressman peter king will tell us why investigating them puts our own security at risk. out of my purse and chewed it. my doctor said the bayer aspirin saved my life. please talk to your doctor about aspirin and your heart. i'm going to be grandma for a long time. bonus on every single purchase. what you do with it is up to you. what will you get back with your cash back? it pays to discover.

getting one.

gretchen: this question for you -- has the obama administration effectively declared war on the cia, and put our nation's security at risk? brian: congressman peter king joins us. how shocked are you? >> this is an absolute disgrace. if anyone had told us on september 12 that we would be investigating the cia because they were interrogating

terrorists, and the terrible crime here is they threatened to shoot him. they knew all along they would not shoot him. they wanted to get information which ended up saving countless american lives. the attorney general and the obama administration have declared war on cia. gretchen: you could throw in the speaker of the house. she called them liars. president obama has been front and center on this issue kennedy said he wants to look to the future and not the past. -- president obama has been front and center on this issue. he said he wants to look to the future or not the past. >> either he is misleading the american people, or he has lost control of his administration. i have a feeling he is trying to appease the left wing based.

gretchen: why appease them? they're still with him. no matter what he does, even when he throws out the public option, the four leading left is still with him. >> somehow it thinks it will lose them. in any event, it is the wrong thing to do. brian: we now know the cia cannot question bin laden. it will now go through an elite team of interrogators that have yet to be named. >> it will be spread out over different agencies. there's nobody will know who is in charge of it. we do not know where it will be located. it is tough enough. it looks like it will be the white house. imagine if george bush said he would be involved in

interrogations. gretchen: many villagers killed in what and when the tension -- maybe they will just kill bin laden when they catch him and we will not have to worry about it. >> to me, they're looking for oil. he is a known -- gretchen: there are allegations that prime minister gordon brown hooked up with qaddafi and released the lockerbie bomber. >> we do not have the same intensity that we had on september 11. brian: thank you very much for

joining us. gretchen: say goodbye to your privacy to read under the government health care plan. you would have to turn over your personal information. peter johnson, jr. is next with .

come on. [ kissing ] come on. good girl. mollie's never looked better. i really was amazed to see the change in her coat. people stop us when we're walking, and they'll say, "did you shine up her spots?" [ woman announcing ] just another way purina one...

dave: even more concerns surrounding the president's proposed health care reform bill. provisions that would force the irs to give your personal information to a new government health choices commission, so democrats can take americans information for health care, but not for preventing terrorism. peter johnson, jr. is here with the prescription for truth. the government is now going to get your personal information

from the irs because of this health-care plan. >> under the proposed obama care, there will be provisions by which the health choices commissioner -- whenever that is -- will be able to get information readily from the irs about you. dave: why did they need that? >> in order to decide whether you qualify for subsidies for government health care, for almost a universal health-care coverage in this country. on one side, if there are going to be subsidies, the government needs to know what level of income you are. the law has no penalties for divulging such information to other parties. according to at least one

expert, it's a potential violation of the privacy act. that means this. if the government wants information from you about your taxes, your assets, and your money, then they get it from you. this is a situation where agencies are sharing financial information about americans. it has led some people to be very concerned. if there envoy to be subsidies, the government needs to know how much you are making -- if there's going to be subsidies, the government needs to know how much were making tree the thing that really concerns being -- the thing that really concerns me, is there going to be a correlation between the type of health care that you get in the type of income that you have? dave: because the only people subject to this will be the lower-income people. >> it is a multiple of the so- called poverty rate.

some people who are working for living and are doing ok but cannot afford health insurance may be able to get subsidies. the issue becomes -- when i am in the examining room, is the doctor not only looking at my charge, but is there some financial information that indicates that in subsidies at certain levels, and will that affect the type of health-care i'm getting? doctors should know everything about our hearts, and sometimes are sold, but should they know about our balance sheet? let's not be terrified at this point, but let's look carefully at this. indeed some teeth to stop any fraud or abuse.

dave: cried information. coming up, you are looking at the jfk presidential library. senator kennedy lies in repose. senator has not been laid to rest yet and some democrats are using his desk to push through health-care reform. really? tea parties have already taken the nation by storm, but now these concerned americans are marching on washington. we have a live report. one day become a two moms. scientists successfully using the dna from two mothers to create the healthiest babies possible. is this really price. so instead of searching for "deals" out there... you can go back to school for less, right here. save money. live better. walmart.

going through a living hell have you forgotten ♪ dave: darryl worley. >> ♪ you can bet that they remember ♪ dave: margaret darryl worley coming up in just a bit. gretchen: thank you very much. brian: darryl worley is playing in the rain. gretchen: playing politics with senator kennedy's death? that is what some democrats are

accused of, and even the president is not happy about this to read it appears the others are trying to use his desk to push health-care reform. >> if people are truly interested in honoring his legacy, the best possible legacy is to pass health reform this year. >> senator kennedy's spirit will infuse the congress. gretchen: a similar push was made when john f. kennedy died. lyndon b. johnson was able to pass civil rights. brian: flames coming dangerously close to donald trump's exclusive golf course. officials are reporting this morning that the fire is not contained. firefighters are battling another fire in the san gabriel mountains. gretchen: health officials are stressing that it is vital for new parents and pregnant women

to get the swine flu vaccine. doctors say women at any stage of their pregnancy should get the vaccine. they recommend combining into with the seasonal flu shot. the vaccine will not be a billable until october -- will not be available until october. brian: william la jeunesse joins us from outside the capitol building in sacramento, calif. how big is this group? what do they want? >> they want smaller government, lower taxes, less regulation, and they do not want healthcare run out of washington by bureaucrats. they start in sacramento. then they both go to reno, las vegas, flagstaff, and beyond. who are they? groups and individuals. libertarians and conservatives. not necessarily all republicans.

one group says 30% of their members are democrats. some groups you probably know like the national taxpayers union and its citizens against government waste are here. there are some more. a lot of people you're coming for personal reasons. farmers in california and will have lost all of their water. 40% unemployment in those towns. you have truckers who feel they are being driven out of business by diesel air regulations. they hope to gain momentum. people will come out for their own reasons. by a large, they are upset. they feel washington is out of control with the debt and the spending and corporate takeovers and the bank bailouts. we're expecting several thousand people here starting in about three hours. they will leave at about noon.

they are headed for nevada. they believe they at least have a collective voice that hopefully washington listened to. back to you. gretchen: thank you very much. there's a huge storm coming toward the east coast. >> i have a confession to make. remember when i was outside of the last break and i had that umbrella? guess who's it was? darryl worley. it is back. i tried it off. i did not steal it. it is going to rain all weekend. please do not shoot the messenger. tropical storm danny is still a tropical storm. that is a good news. why? we thought it would become a hurricane. it is a very disorganized system.

showers and thunderstorms will off to the east. that will continue to move north-northwest and then make a sharp move north in the next couple of days. it is still very warm. we could see a little bit of strengthening over the next 12- 24 hours. we have a trough that is moving toward the east coast. those are the computer models. which computer model do you like the best. brian: the one with the two mills clouds mix with the ones with a silver lining. gretchen: that was pretty good. >> i did not tell him i would ask him that question. today's highs for the weekend. we will have a cold front moving into the midwest, dropping temperatures to below 30 degrees in some cases. dave, could you apologize to

darryl worley? i still his umbrella -- stole his umbrella. dave: you cannot still a man's umbrella. i would like you to apologize for this weather. christine wallace is here. we are back with the big taste grill. this is the world's biggest grill. what is the key when folks are grilling out? >> keep the flame low and slow. never poke them.

with the tailgating season coming up, make sure you have a cold can of beer. dave: tell me about this recipe. >> speaking of beer, when you have people coming over, to keep the flavor in the brats, we have our johnsonville brat hot tub. a couple cans of beer and some onions. dave: that is perfect. more with the folks at johnson ville. we have about 1000 hotdogs. come by and grab a couple. gretchen: 3 parents, one child. scientists use to the genetics of two mothers and one father to one create one healthy child.

brian: this is a fox news alert. and little girl who was kidnapped 18 years ago was found alive. jaycee dugard was held captive in a shed. her kidnapper, phillip garrido was handed down religious pamphlets on the university of california berkeley campus. an amazing story. >> it really is. most people have a question, where is she now? she has not been seen publicly. we do not know how she looks after all these years. we understand she is in good shape and she has been reunited with her mother. the two of them spent the night last night at a nearby hotel. no doubt savory in the long awaited family reunion.

jaycee dugard's stepfather described the moment. >> it was a total shock. my wife called me in and said they found her. she paused and said she was alive. we tried for about 10 minutes -- cried for about 10 minutes. >> we understand the family reunion is under way. there's no word yet from when we will hear from 29-year-old jaycee dugard. brian: thank you. another shortcoming norway. gretche-- another story coming r way. gretchen: one day become a two -- one baby, two mothers.

this technique is highly controversial as it changes the genetic make up of the child. some fear it could create designer babies if used on humans. good morning to both of you. i know that you think this is wonderful research because import could mean tears for many diseases. >> i believe it is very exciting to. it holds the potential for in eradicating diseases from the tegerm strain. however, we have many reservations about moving ahead too quickly and about ensuring that there would be guidelines sphe. gretchen: dr. stevens, that

would be one of your main complaints, the fears of what it would mean down the road. everyone might be in favor of carrying disease, but what about designer babies? >> i have real concerns about this. not only the social and legal issues, but also the ethical concerns. this requires egg harvesting, which is uncomfortably risky for women. it creates embryos purely created for research. some of those will be destroyed. it crosses a line in ethics that we say we do not mess with the germ line. when you genetically manipulated so it not only affects this generation, but every generation to come. how do you get informed consent from your great grandchild? gretchen: your point of view

is it is just a small part of 1% of the mitochondria that is put in from one mother to the next. it is not cloning. >> it is not conine. we are talking about what can only be transmitted from the mother to the child. we're talking about 1% of the child's genetic make up. 99% would be the mother and father who welcome to this healthy baby into their homes. gretchen: you understand there are many regulations to practicing medicine. do you think the regulatory controls would keep this to just fighting disease? >> i do not think so. we have no regulations in this country. in england, what they have done in monkeys would be illegal.

you are not allowed to implant altered embryos into a woman's womb. they have created these monkeys. within two years, can you tell the developmental consequences, the reproductive consequences, as a whole series of safety issues. gretchen: some very interesting points. that is such a controversial issue and one week to talk about for so much longer. i appreciate your time this morning. thank you very much. country music superstar darryl worley performing live. he is next. first, let's check in with megyn. megyn: the health care reform plan has some good news for you and your doctor. the presidential approvals are all this morning. we hope mr. obama is out fishing.
