wow, and that is mild compared to what happened earlier. serena williams serving up the most memorable ending to a u.s. open match in at least my lifetime for the wrong reasons. our slogan this morning comes from tom young of st. oliver's vermont. i can't watch the network news it seems to fizzle, i like fox and friends because it always sizzles. >> like bacon. >> i'll take a bag of donuts and you better be watching "fox & friends," we know where you live. >> veto. >> good to threaten the audience. good morning, hi everybody, thanks for joining us, so much to talk about. >> and the face behind that voice, take a shot of it, there's veto. hey, veto. >> very scary. >> it's scary isn't it. >> on the show this morning, a banni banningup show for you, a new study out how handwriting is

dead, a lost art form, children now more than ever before they don't know how to write, don't know how to do cur sief. >> parents employing tutors because of cursive. >> do you need it? >> it's a lost art, need to keep it, hang onto it people. >> here is what we're doing all morning long and put this out on twitter and i want all of your "fox & friends" viewers to send in your handwriting. >> we have a chalkboard. >> this is nostalgia. >> let's see what it's so great about it. >> this is what i write. we'll write throughout the show. "fox & friends" is number one. >> in curs. >> --

kur cursive. we'll add our handwriting and compare it against "fox & friends" viewers. >> and analyze your handwriting. in the meantime, as dave attempts to write to prove how great writing it. and we'll tell you more on the show. four acorn employees have been fired after being involved in trying to fludge documents to open a brothel. they are blaming fox, they say they're going to sue fox. we'll give you an update on all of this starting right now. >> in fact, right now. in fact, instead of taking the blame themselves. instead of pointing the fingers themselves and coming out and admitting the problem, obviously, driving workers there, this pimp and prostitutes which we've seen the undercover videos, if you haven't seen it yet. take a listen and we'll talk about this. >>

. >> i would say that-- when i was. >> i'm not hearing it. >> see, very interesting, because she says, you shouldn't be telling anybody if you're going to be employing underage prostitutes, i'm not hearing it, so she knows that what they're going to do is illegal. she's well aware that this is really inappropriate. yet, she goes on to tell them how to falsify documents. so that they can apply for the bank loans to open a brothel with child prostitution. >> so the story is this morning, instead of taking responsibility for the actions they're blaming fox news and other people for what they say are lies and distortions about creative editing with the undercover video and they're taking legal action against fox news because of the video. >> right, they say in a quote from bertha lewis the acorn spokesperson, we're an international entertainment gone glom ratdy guying itself as a news agency, and expected

millions, if not tens of millions of dollars to destroy the largest community organization of black, latino, poor working class people. i don't know if expected was the right word there, but here is the point, okay. they acknowledge what they did was wrong, firing the employees, taking money 1.6 million dollars this year from the housing department. clearly, that money needs to stop. they're taking money from the census department who has now cut ties with them not acknowledging their own faults, trying to disperse them on up. >> don't take our word for it. take the census' word for it. ongoing communication, acorn's affiliation with the 2010 census, has causes of concern f for the public. >> will all public funds be-- >> they've got it. >> they say creative editing for the video. no amount of editing can put the

words in the acorn's mouth that says they're going to help them secure the loans falsifying documents. >> let's talk about the story what was supposed to be the wedding day for the annie lee, the missing yale grad student. latest developments in this case. the alling the lab she was last seen at 10 a.m. earlier this week, on surveillance footage, there are 75 cameras there on the facility. no video caught her leaving this research facility, but they did reportedly find some bloody clothes shoved into the ceiling in one of the labs of the building. >> and there are some conflicting reports on that. they say police are only willing to confirm that they did find some items. they haven't, some media reports said it was bloody clothes in the ceiling, but police have not confirmed that publicly just they found items there. testing it to see, i believe, whether or not it's annie's blood to see whether or not it's her clothing. they say all the video and maybe

she changed clothes and left in a white lab coat. maybe something happened, they're combing frame by frame to see if she left the building. >> there was a mad rumor saying that police locate add body in the case. that's been shut down they're combing over the evidence within that lab and the officials say there's no reason to believe now, there's no reason to believe that the bride to be ran away. >> no, no, coming up, the former d.c. investigator, rod wheeler, will be with us. >> talk about the tea party bus tour that began in sacramento, california and ended with tens of thousands, caroline shively joins us from washington d.c., boy, caroline, this was a big turnout, huh? >> it was huge. the protesters took over some downtown streets in d.c., dave, they marched down pennsylvania avenue and then rallied outside

the capital. the group's message, spending by the federal government is out of control and it needs to be rolled back. there's signs for a good indicator how fired up they are. some on the atm. others go green, recycle congress. other showed signs showing president obama as the joker. and more colonial costumes, organizers say it's the largest group of fiscal conservatives to ever watch on washington and speakers talked about what they want from president and congress and no government run plan in health care reform and stop with the bailouts. >> we want them to stop spending, stop taxing us, top the health care bill. because you're bankrupting americans for generations to come. >> these people are informed and they're outraged about the spending, the debt, the government takeovers, the taxes, and it's not just the last six months, it's the last ten years. >> yesterday was the end of 34 city, 7,000 mile bus tour that

started august 28th in california, but organizers say it's not over yet. and calling election day next year, judgment day. back to you guys. >> caroline, thank you. i think there were many more people than they anticipated. >> certainly. >> and didn't get an exact count yet, but bring that to you if we do. here are the headlines. a battle in western afghanistan has killed dozens much taliban militants after an insurgent ambush left five u.s. troops dead. two soldiers died after their patrol struck a roadside bomb in eastern afghanistan, and then in western afghanistan, three soldiers were fired upon after they hit a roadside bomb. very tragic update to the blagojevich story now. christopher kelly, the former chief fundraiser for former governor rod blagojevich died of an apparent aspirin overdose. this just in before he was to begin serving at least a five year sentence in federal prison. he it of was victimed of fraud,

using his-- an autopsy of chris kelly is scheduled for today. the south carolina congressman who gelled at president barack obama during thinks speech to congress is the victim of a cyber attack. sources close to joe wilson say that hackers have broken into his website, and wilson accuses opponents are trying to disrupt the congressman's website so he cannot raise any more campaign cash. since his confrontation with the president, wilson received roughly a million dollars in donations. >> his opponent has also-- >> bizarre, this one they'll be talking about on monday morning, the finish in the us open, one tour member, serena william, a big tantrum, as a results she's out of the tournament. the trouble started here. she slams her racquet of after losi losing the first set. later, williams calls for a foot

fault. rarely called at the stage of a major match. it was big, directed at the lines woman, serena williams going off, reports say she told the linesman that she would shove this ball down her-- bleeping throat. she channelled blago, channelled john mcenroe and made them look civil. this was bizarre, listen. >> i didn't say i would kill you, are you serious? and didn't say-- >> that's right, the lines woman says that remember seena said that serena would kill her. williams of course denies that allegation, she was penalized a point which you never see in this stage of a major match. it happened to be match point and clijsters advance toss the final to take on caroline wozniak. the first mom to reach a grand

slam final since 1980. we like that, good for the moms ut rick reichmuth was watching and e-mailed me late last night. unl believable. >> i've never seen anything like this. watched tennis, never seen something like that and foot fall two match point and lost it. in fairness to clijsters, she was winning fairly the match and made serena upset. a very sad story. i tell you what, a lot of rain across much of texas. texas towards oklahoma, but some of this extremely heavy. we need the rain in texas, but especially into south texas and most of it is in towards north texas, areas around the dallas, fort worth area and down to the south, just to the west of college station, some of the storms have produced anywhere from two to five inches of rain is causing big time flooding. you see the red counties at the dallas fort worth area and east of austin. during those areas you probably want to stay off the roadways,

you be fortunateunfortunately t is it with us for the next few days, and probably about a week before it's gone. guys. >> thanks so much. coming up, you know that insurance companies have been totally vilified in this whole health care reform debate. do they deserve it? we're going to have a panel of insurance representatives to talk about whether or not ultimately health care reform will put money in their pockets or it will make them go bank result and if they deserve to be demonized? >> all right, dave, get over and finish the handwriting and check this video out. a ship engulfed in flames, we'll show you the incredible rescue and plus, our handwriting challenge, dave. oh, his handwriting is not terribly good. >> not table, but i need lines, i need a notebook. >> man, that's bad. . >> it's not bad, it's ill l

[ barks ] you're right. tonight is a beef stew kind of night. you've made another fine choice. look at those beefy chunks all packed with protein, the real vitamin-rich vegetables, the wholesome grains. and you think you're getting spoiled. it's so good for you too.

[ announcer ] beneful prepared meals. another healthful, flavorful beneful. a heart attack at 53. i had felt fine. but turns out... my cholesterol and other risk factors... increased my chance of a heart attack. i should've done something. 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... in patients with 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 was caught off-guard.

but maybe you can learn from my story. have a heart to heart with your doctor... about your risk. and about lipitor. >> right now, the system works very well for the insurance companies, but it doesn't work well for the american people. we're held hostage at any given moment by health insurance companies that's not coverage or dropped coverage or charge fees that people can't afford at a time when they desperately need care. >> that of course, president obama, vilifying the insurance industry as he continues to push for health care reform, but is he justified? joining me now insurance agent holden and a spokesman or

america's health insurance plan anan a former chairman of aetna insurance. gentlemen, thanks for being here this morning. spencer, let's start with you, you're furthest away. every story needs a villain, in this case, it's become the insurance industry, is that a miscast or a role that works for the insurance industry? is this justified? >> oh, absolutely, there's a difference between health insurance reform and health care reform and i think that the two are intertwined very often in the media. the health insurance companies are not the villain although they've been called such especially by leadership in the house. >> dick, let me ask you, it seems right away in this battle that insurance companies stepped up and said we will not deny coverage based on pre-existing coverage on the previous illness. >> correct. >> why then did the president turn the battle on the insurance companies? is that because the public outrage fits better and sounds

better? >> as you said, it's nice to have a villain in every story and in a certain sense the insurance companies have been that role. i've got scars all over my back from the last health care battles. so, it's sort of easy to criticize the insurance companies which are really agents and i think as spencer pointed out, to have real health care reform. we've got to tackle the inflating costs of health care. of every dollar of health care premi premium, over 80 cents goes to pay for health care. >> okay. >> so the cost of the insurance, with whether it's private insurers, whether it's governme government. >> right. >> it's only a small percentage. >> okay, robert, and one of the things that's attacked here is the massive profits that the insurance industry makes, as you know, and as i've written, i've read this quote that the insurance industry seeks to gain

at least 600 billion dollars, that's from an analyst of the insurance industry. 600 billion dollar net gain over the next decade if health care reform is passed. how do you address that? >> there's been a lot of misinformation out there. how much profits the industry does make, according to fortune magazine's 35th on the list with an average profit margin of 2.2%. it's not the highest industry within the health care sector, so there's not the profits out there that people think they are. and the inconvenient fact is that our industry has stepped up and proposed to completely change how health insurance is provided and we've proposed as you say, guaranteed coverage, eliminating pre-existing exclusion, saying that nobody should pay higher based on the health status or gender to make that work, everybody needs to be included into the health care system. >> we're up against the break. we want to bottom line this for folks, what it means coming up in just a couple of minutes.

>> we're back now with our insurance panel and we're going to get back to spencer bolten, an insurance agent in new orleans, let me ask you, people want to know what this means for them. are their premiums going to go up. will they keep their current health insurance policy and current doctor if in fact health reform is passed. what say you? >> certainly if there's a public plan introduced i don't know how the public market is going to survive it. the public plan is going to be so much cheaper by the private plans by virtue of how they'll be developed. they won't have premium taxes inside of them. the doctors are going to sue the government plan versus the private plan and tort reform is needed so eventually i think you'll see a huge cost shift from the worker, it's going to

end up with the government plan, private plan put out of business and i just don't see how it's going to work, it's zero competition and player plan in the end. >> the spokesman for the american health insurance plan in d.c. back to you now. if you're a small business and you can't afford to pay all the health insurance, are you going to just pay the fee and just go with tgovernment plan if in fac the health reform is passed. >> i think that businesses are going to make tough decisions, we went on a nationwide tour and we sat down with business, and number one concern is rising health care costs and what we have in addition to the market reforms. unfortunately what we saw was a bunch of new taxes that are going to drive up costs and two new taxes, taxes on pharmaceutical companies, device manufacturers and clinical labs, all that's going to do is have the opposite reform of health care. which is making coverage more affordable for families and

small businesses. unless we get costs under control. health care fochperformance is g to be sustainable. >> the question for you is if i don't have to have insurance and the the insurance companies have to cover me, regardless of pre-existing conditions or previous illness, what is stopping people from just not having insurance and then calling you up, and saying, well, you can't deny me? >> well, absolutely, you can scam the system. i mean, why would you pay a couple thousand bucks a year when you're healthy and young he when you can wait until you get sick and then call up and say, i want the luxury plan that covers everything. i mean, it just, it's illogical. >> you say you need universal. >> one way or the other. you have to have both or neither. >> got it. okay. robert, and spencer, holden, a divorce group all over the country, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> they have more scandals than we can county.

>> hey, welcome back everybody, thanks for joining us this morning, i'm alisyn camerota along with dave briggs and one of the new developments much the

case of the missing yale university grad student who was supposed to get married today. there's new surveillance video shows annie le entering the school lab she was last seen. investigators say they're looking into the possibility of a burglary gone bad for kidnapping. . >> i don't know now burglaries go bad. they're joining us to break this down. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> so, where does this investigation go from here? >> well, right now shall the police are scouring through all of the records that belong to annie, as far as her cell phone records, as far as her computer records. now, some new developments, this came out yesterday from what i understand, the reading published reports is that the police have found some type of bloody evidence above the ceiling tiles, somewhere inside the building. now, that's going to be very substantial because right now, the police forensic unit is testing that blood to see whether or not it's first of all, human blood and whether or not it's the blood that belongs to annie, so appears they're in

the thick of things in terms of this criminal, which we're now calling a criminal investigation. >> rod, from the scant details that the police have released, it sounds as it leads you to think if annie was in fact the victim of something, it might have been at the hands of a university insider, why? >> you know, absolutely, alisyn and reason being appears as though whoever committed this crime, if in fact, let me add if in fact a crime has been committed, appears to be familiar with the inside of the building. one report indicated that the fire alarm went off at 12:40 on tuesday, which is the same morning that annie disappeared. now, the police have already indicated they don't believe there was a connection with that. what i suspect is that that fire alarm went off because someone probably went out after fire exit, which of course, triggered the fire alarm and then the cameras probably would not have captured that person leaving out. again, all of these are theories, i'm sure the police

investigators are looking at right now. >> and a couple of other theories that you mentioned, we talked to you before, which is that if she left on her own accord. if she left the building and maybe left her cell phone there, it seems implausible. some of the early thoughts were maybe she ran away. is that completely thrown out the window now? >> i don't think it's completely thrown out the window although it's very unlikely that she did run away. you know, apparently she was planning on coming back, that's why she left her cell phone, purse and things like that, she stepped out of her office somewhere in the billing, the other interesting thing, too, this is important as far as a criminal investigation is concerned. if the police found bloody evidence above the zooloceiling tiles, someone would have had to step on a ladder or in the men's restroom, stepped on the toilet stool or something like that and now police can get evidence in terms of shoe prints and things like that, these are critical

parts of a criminal investigation and exactly what the investigators are looking at now. >> one theory, this is a burglary gone bad. there's lots of expensive science equipment, broad daylight on a tuesday morning, does that sound logical to you? >> it doesn't sound logical although it's not improbable, it could have been a burglary gone bad. i think we need to wait and see, there were 75 cameras in and around that building so would you think that the cameras, again, would pick up someone inside the building that doesn't belong that, however, remember the fire alarm went off. so perhaps a fire door was open, someone exited out that door and maybe that's the reason why we don't see annie general anymore in the building, or unknown to people inside the building. a lot of information people are trying to figure out right now. >> great perspective this morning, thanks so much. rod. >> thank you. >> we should also mention, you know, the fiance not a suspect and the wedding canceled was supposed to take place this morning.

>> he so, so, sad, we'll keep you posted on what's happening with that. here are your headlines, new reports show the government, the government has given millions in taxpayer dollars to the controversial group at acorn. well, the department of housing and urban development gave air corn more than 8 million dollars in grants between the years 2003 and 2006 in addition, another 1.6 million dollars went to acorn affiliates. and the census bureau cut ties after the undercover videos of employees giving people tips on ow to run a brothel and cheat on their taxes and scientists have found dangerous staff bacteria in sand and water samples from five beaches along the west coast of washington state. the germ hard to treat skin infections and serious illnesses such as pneumonia. it's spread through human contact, little known is what causes is. the bacteria on ocean water along a south florida beach. well, watch this incredible rescue. texas coast guard spots a shift

in flames in corpus christi bay. two people were in a life raft. both men were safely airlifted by chopper and flown to a hospital. one man suffered burns to 20% of his body and the second man was stable after he arrived at the hospital. time for dave and sports. >> plenty of new faces on the usc, same happy ending for the trogans, 19-year-old freshman quarterback matt bar clay, boy did he have some hands in this one. the winning touchdown and stunning and silencing were 106,000 fans at columbus, haven't lost to a big ten team since '96. up in ann arbor the michigan wolverines stung. would feel would feel a big upsite. 38-34 over the irish.

chris wallace celebrating without a doubt, this morning. that will do it. >> let's turn our attention to what's happening tonight here, later this afternoon, excuse me, later tonight after football, i guess, finally football season is back, whenever 60 minutes comes on the air we don't know because that's when football gets in its way. president obama is going to appear on 60 minutes for the third time during his presidency and we have a little sneak preview of what he is going to say, as he tackles health care, take a listen. >> i have no interest in having had a bill get passed that fails, that doesn't work. you know, i intend to be president for a while and once this bill passes, i own it. and if people look and say, you know what, this hasn't reduced my costs, my premiums are still going up 25%, insurance companies are still jerking me around, i'm the one who's going to be held responsible.

so, i have every incentive to get this right. >> so, taking a harry truman style, the buck stops there, that's on his shoulders. >> that should comfort critics who says he doesn't any health billing in his cap, so he actually the got something passed. sounds like he's trying to get in front of that criticism. i don't want anything passed, i want that to work. there's lack of clarity, we don't know if he defintivity says we have to have the government option and the control. he's owning it in the sound bite. we haven't heard a definitive opinion. will i accept a bill without public option. i'm guessing yes. will he own it? >> karl rove says it's interesting to hear and watch and the language, the backtracking on the wording of the public ongs, talking about an exchange and the co-op and.

he was in minneapolis yesterday, taking it on the road, and appears if the august doldrums have left the obama administration, going back to something they learned during the campaign. we talked about it on the show, why wasn't the president out there selling it the way he was anti-to sell himself on the campaign trail for president? i think he might have taken a lesson out of this and did this yesterday in minneapolis, take a listen. >> i'm feeling kind of fired up. i'm feeling-- i'm feeling like i'm ready to go. >> well, the tone has changed and mood has changed, but to your point the specifics is lacking. tort reform, that was unclear the night he addressed congress, he said he finally brought it up which is what so many republicans and doctors have been saying we've desperately needed, but it's unclear had an it means how they plan to tackle it. >> he's kicking the can down the road.

maybe for the next administration and speaks for the financial crisis tomorrow and he's staying busy tomorrow on wall street and you'll see that tomorrow on fox news. >> interestingly, the president was talking about tort reform and the op-ed, following the speech from republicans saying it's interesting he brought thaup and now we'll see if he actually lives up to it and how far we can move with the tort reform. >> in the meantime, let's check on your weather around the country. rick is outside, how is it looking? >> we've got a big story going on. areas of texas and oklahoma. let's take a look at the weather maps, temperature-wise-- oops, actually now what, well, there we go. those are flood warnings, that we've got across much of texas, and this is going to continue, really, probably for the next three to five days, because the storm is not going to move quickly, an upper level disturbance stuck across this area and it's going to continue to bring this rain. nick, i can signed. i don't think you'll switch the graphics, back to you inside and

fix the graphic and we'll talk more coming you. >> i didn't know there was a problem. i thought that was great. >> it looked hot. that's what he's talking about, a lot of heat in the graphic. >> coming up, september is prostate cancer month, there's a cutting edge treatment in u.k. and canada and red tape are prevent being people from getting it. is this a sign what could happen under a government run health care system? that story coming up. ♪ . your body needs sleep to feel healthy... to feel better.

>> also sounds not only the increased less side effects, but also, it would save money over the long run. now, it's currently available in canada and the united kingdom, because of red tape there under the universal health care system there's bloe there's problems getting access to the technology, right? >> not exactly. they're able to provide the treatment in clinical trial format and it's reimbursed to the patient under clinical trial. >> clinical trial, but not a widespread usage? >> yeah, correct, not on a private basis, but it really is available around the world, you know, throughout the eu, asia, mexico, canada, and really, u.s. patients are travelling international internationally for innovation, versus for cost reduction. >> medical tourism as we talked about before. the reason it's not only in the u.s., it's going through f.d.a. approval. >> what's happening in canada as i understand it, even though it's available, it's not covered under their universal health

care plan. >> well, you know, it's interesting, i was talking yesterday to a physician from british columbia and he talked about the fact that even though something may be approved or cleared by the regulatory agency, it's knots necessarily covered by the medical plan and he expressed some concern about the fact that something has to be so matured from a standard of care perspective, that it potentially runs the risk of falling behind other regulatory jurisdictions as far as being able to actually cover that for the mass society. >> well, if there's one thing we know about government, it runs efficiently and it runs fast and here in the united states, we don't have bureaucracy, we don't have the troubles, right, so we've got the high technology, the latest technology for prostate cancer in the united states and we get a universal health care plan. does that add potential, more red tape to the process of getting access to the technology? >> now, we have built out this

company around the world and it's given us a chance to see health care systems, now, from argentina, brazil, mexico, canada and what really ends up happening, you may end up putting a social system in place, but absolutely there will be the private kind of counterpart that develops as well. i mean, people are going to be willing to pay for necessary care. >> if they can. >> if they can. but you know, it's tough, you know, we-- where is the line between what we can and cannot offer as a government. we know that beyond that, even if people do have to pay, you know, canada, for example, everybody has to pay a portion of their income to support the system, but we provide private care in canada and people still he elect to choose that option. >> people who don't have the income. i have to go, but i have to say

what has happened in britain they've done away with prostate cleaning because it's too expensive? >> that is a tough issue, you know, you know, where do they draw the line between looking at something from an economics perspective and looking at something, you know, for the efficacy, so, you know, it's a big question. >> well, steve, we appreciate you coming in and sharing the new technology with us and telling, even some insight into the whole process, steve, thanks so much. >> meanwhile, can your child get a high school diploma without ever leaving the house? yes, this is a new trend in education, it's called virtual schooling. we'll tell you how it works coming up. achoo!

differ from traditional home schooling we've been talking about. >> virtual schooling is one segment of it. it's full-time public schools so that differentiates from home schooling, which maybe that's not an approach. home schooling is much more, not state funded, there are no report cards traditionally, it's public school and you abide by the testing and all the requirements of the brick and mortar school in your neighborhood. >> okay, public schooling from your own bedroom. >> yes. >> basically, on your own computer. >> laptop or out and about, every day with your parents if you're travelling and what's the advantage to being at home on your own doing this same public school curriculum and not going to the public school? >> look, it's personalized learning. it's self-paced. it's working with a child how they learn best and it also has, you can engage in so many wonderful enriching curriculums that may not be provided by your

public school. >> of course, it's utilizing technology which kids aren't doing enough of in public schools, but let me ask you about the interactive factor. as a parent i want my kids interacting with other kids, socializing, how do you make up for that? >> well, i have three daughters who never ever attend, my oldest is 19 never ever attended a traditional public school and i can tell you they're pretty darn personal and done a lot of that and that said there are many ways to answer that all soci socialization in school is not necessarily good. there was a recent study that came out in traditional, i hate to use that word, a public virtual school, the students actually had significant better social skills, compared to the-- >> how is that possible if you're at home and sitening front of your own computer like this, as opposed to having an intera interact in the cafeteria, with your principal and teacher. >> first of all, you actually are not on your computer full-time. you're not sitting there in a dark room staring at a monitor,

even for up to 8th grade and high school, it's maybe three hours a day, they're in the community. they're doing field trips, they're doing zoo dates. the public virtual schools have many engaging site-based programs or co-ops where parents get together and your children are out and about in the real world. they're not stuck at home. >> sure, we're just about out of time. if you graduate throughout this entire process, is there any difficulty getting into college because you didn't go to a typical school, don't have the typical resume'. >> if you're in a public virtual school you have a report guard and diploma. >> extracurricular, gpa. >> my daughters did, they started college at 15, taking site based classes and one school my young eest attends is the future of education, some online learning and classroom collaboration. >> interesting. people can read more about it in your book, thank you for coming on and talking to us about it.

>> thank you. >> let's go over to clayton on the show. >> i'm live for you right now in our kitchens at "fox & friends" right to us all the time and says it looks like a bathroom. it is not a bathroom. an update on the story we first brought you here on the show on "fox & friends" weekend. a father desperately trying to be reunited with his son after the boy's mother fled with him to italy. we will have the latest on this troubling case. general motors having new incentive to drive people into the show rooms. could mean borrowing a car for a little time. i'm in the kitchen, not the bathroom. i can prove it because there's coffee. we can prove it, there's coffee. this is my small-business specialist, tara. i know landscaping, but i didn't know how wireless could help my business. i just don't know how wireless can help my business. tara showed me how i could keep track of my employees in the field and get more jobs done faster.

this morning. >> veto show. welcome to the vito show, there's vito. starting your sunday off with vito. we've got a lot going on. we are he going to leave for the rest of of the show and vito-- we've got a lot coming up on the show this morning. including an update on the the story we broke several weeks here about the american boy's trapped in the italian orphanage after being abducted by his mother, taken away to rome. michael has just returned to rome where he tried to reunite with his son and things went horribly wrong. we'll tell you what happened in his late e-trip to rome. >> we're continuing our story, our handwriting story and alisyn, your turn now, and what happened, here is the setup d rebecca. >> my, nice handwriting. >> i'm telling you, great warning. >> the reason we're talking about the story, a new trend out there, handwriting is dying and

parents are now having to get tutors, so much, they're having to pay tutors to too much them because they are he' on the computer more than before. >> if you think you still need it which dave does. >> i do, i knowledge, i acknowledge i'm a dinosaur, first, new clues as the search continues for that missing yale grad student, annie le. today was supposed to be her weddings day. joining us from connecticut is rick leventhal good morning, rick, where do we go from here? >> police say we don't know where she is, we don't know what happened to her and we don't know if a crime was committed or not. ne also won't confirm reports that surfaced yesterday that bloody clothes were found above the ceiling tile inside the building behind me where annie le was last seen. she entered the building on tuesday morning, she swiped her card, captured on surveillance video cameras, there's some 75 cameras around this building. and police since then have been

scouring that tape to search for signs of her leaving the building and they haven't seen any evidence she left the building, but they're go back over the surveillance frame by frame looking for more clues. annie le is a 24-year-old third year grad student in pharmacology, set to get married today. she's been missing since left mind her purse, credit cards, cell phone inside the building and more than one hundred law enforcement officers are trying to solve the disturbing riddle. we heard from a number of authorities in a press p conference, where the fbi spokeswoman tried to dispel rumors that have been flying about this case. >> i will categorically say that a body has not been found. >> any bloody clothing produced from the building? >> all i will say is that items that could potentially be evidence have been seized. none have yet been associated

with annie le. >> a $10,000 reward has been offered for any information that might lead to her whereabouts and the fbi office set up a hot line for people to call. the hot line 8 777-503-1950. again, the fbi says and local police say they have recovered some evidence from the scene, potential evidence from the sce scene, but they haven't determined whether or not it's linked to annie le. they're examining the evidence this morning and hoping to come up with answers soon, guys. >> it's so troubling, rick. also that number on my blog this morning, in case anybody is watching with information, thanks, so much, rick. >> all right. let's turn our attention to what happened yesterday to washington d.c. thousands of people-- >> tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands. >> that's the big question and they were all planning on coming later in the afternoon, but the city officials there were saying that people were pouring in there, much more, much earlier than they anticipated and what they thought might be 50, 60,000

people could end up being well over hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions of people dissending on washington d.c., what could have been one of the largest marches in washington history. >> the largest gathering of fiscally conservative, fiscal confiden conservatives to march on the capital. on the new york times.com. i'm looking for it, i'm sure it's here somewhere, but this is just to say i cannot find it on the home scene have. i'm on the washington post,.com. it took place in again, washington d.c., nowhere near, i cannot find it on the home page there. >> i'm on abc right now. i don't see it. >> well, it's interesting you say that because yesterday, you know, we covered it here on "fox & friends," a lot. we had griff jenkins down there and we talked to so many people who come from around the country and yet, if you weren't watching fox you wouldn't necessarily have known it's a significant,

major march, what's happening on washington. you know, and it starts cropping up on april 15th, a lot of media thought it was a blip, a fringe element, thashs it doesn't require coverage, it's grown beyond a ground swell at this point as you can see to one of the most major marches in recent memory here. >> and dave, you found it on abc. >> i want folks to look if you can take the camera, "the washington post," again, it happened in their back yard, a major issue there in that city, nowhere near, we're talking about the afghan policy as far as inmates goes, big news, wall street the speech for the president tomorrow, health care reform stories, nfl, and tennis stories. but still nothing, not a mention of it and maybe it's here in the fine print. i did see the big three networks do a quick blip on the top of the news. >> that's true. >> like the million man march and other majors in washington,

it's coverage for days and weeks, and lead mainstream media not covering it the way that fox news that is been and bringing attention to this story because it wasn't just conservatives there, we heard from tucker carlson yesterday talking to a lot of democrats also angry about the size and spending in their federal government and independents deis sending on washington and conservatives descending on washington d.c. and voicing outrage, how out of control this government has become. >> keep it tuned here because you'll see all the developments on at that topic. in the meantime, rick reichmuth is here. >> it's a little cool across parts of the west, especially in towards higher elevation and we did see a little bit of snow this morning once again and also not that bad across much of the east, warm across the southeast, it's going to be warm and humid and across the southern tier of the country, but the big problem is in around much of texas and oklahoma where we've seen some areas, eight to ten inches of rain the last week and that's causing some flooding.

if you have any pictures or video of some of the flooding going on, you can send that to us at u report@foxnews.com, or rick reichmuth at twitter and i had a he love to see those and show theose on air. an upper level disturbance in the moving quickly, probably going to take about six days before it completely exits the eastern part of the country. so expect to see more unsettled weather and areas of some localized flooding from time to time. in across the northeast, where you have the rough friday and a very rough saturday. today is going to be much better. far northern maine. past that, we've got pretty news conditions. here is your temps for the day. parts of the west. >> thank you, r rick, thank you so much. >> squeaks that in there for you. here is a new incentive for car buyers, you like this idea. gm offering perhaps a money back guarantee for your car. you buy it you don't like it, bring it back. >> what do you like the sound of that?

>> let's find out from rebecca diamond from the fox business network and come over and join us hey, this is-- >> good morning. >> instead of purchasing a car, i'm going to buy one and return it no questions asked, 60 days later. tell us about this. >> well, you can see it two ways, i mean, giambi is putting its money where its mouth is. you know, they are so confident about the changes they've made and the quality of their product they're saying there's a perception out there at that people see american cars as bad in quality, design, they're not luxurious enough. you don't get a good bang for your buck in the the american cars, but gm is saying, look, buy an american car, give us a shot, buy one of our vehicles and if you really don't like it, bring it back. so, you know, they're putting their money where their mouth is saying, hey, we have confidence in this product. now, it could back fire if people take the car and they don't like it, well, gm's going to have a lot of now used cars

on their lots, not being able to sell them. >> right, because as anyone knows, you drive a car off the lot you lose thousands of dollars, i know they have insurance. haven't they insured against this. >> yeah, yeah, they are. and still, you know, the point is, as a company, you want to sell cars. so, if you have everybody bringing these cars back and you're producing more cars on the account that you're thinking you're going to sell more, you could get stuck, you know, it's a risky move. >> it is a risky move, but as any marketing guru will tell you it's so smart because once you get a product in a consumer's hands they're less likely to bring it back, more rigamarole to do it so it seems like they're finally in line with other businesses who see the value of 30 day money back guarantee. no one brings them back. >> the other thing, too, the car companies are getting more creative. hyundai says if you lost your job within a year you could bring the car back so they're getting more creative in marketing. i think it's a great idea because this will force the company and their workers to

produce a good product. to think out of the box. to compete with the toyotas and the hondas of the world. >> interesting, all right, rebecca, stick around, you have great handwriting. we were blown away by it. >> now, my husband he looks like he's a fifth grade, how he writes, he cannot do cursive either. >> look at yours, yours is nice, look at dave's below there. >> hold on. >> i don't understand that. >> i can write just not on a chalkboard. were you a teacher? >> no, i wasn't. i think it is something that kids should still learn, even though we don't use it as much, it's a nice skill to have. >> even though we're doing the story all had morning long. they're asking viewers to send in terrible handwriting. parents are having to employ tutors and you think there's a value in writing cursive. >> you should have told me i would have brought in my husband's cursive to make fun of him on tv. >> we can bring in clayton's.

>> and aly's. >> slightly like a serial killer. >> and small, but-- >> and kids don't know how to write cursive, not that they have bad penmanship. they don't know because they don't teach it in school. >> it's going away, really? >> you're not going away and that's good news. >> we'll be sticking around. and she's sticking around. viewers, send it in, friends@foxnews.com take a photo of your terrible handwriting and we'll show it coming up. >> how much will president obama's health care reform actually cost to cover everything he wants in this plan? rebecca diamond sticks around, her early happy hour right here on "fox & friends".." not going to tell you what goes on at the break. >> i'm going to go practice my penmanship, if you don't mind.

to silence headaches... doctors recommend tylenol... more than any other brand... of pain reliever. tylenol rapid release gels... release medicine fast. so you can stop headaches... and feel better fast. 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.

you all want to run your businesses more efficiently, so we've brought in a team of experts to help. one suggestion is to make your shipping more efficient with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service. call or go online for a free supply and up to $160 in offers from authorized postage vendors. shipping's a hassle! weighing every box... actually, with flat rate boxes you don't need to weigh anything under 70 pounds. if it fits, it ships for a low flat rate. ok, but i ship all over the country. you can ship anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. ship international, too. yes, but i ship hundreds of things, in all sizes. great, because flat rate boxes come in four sizes. call and we'll send a free supply, plus up to $160 in offers. when you're ready to ship, we'll even pick them up for free, no matter how many you have. priority mail flat rate boxes only from the postal service.

a simpler way to ship. call or go online now to get started. . reducing waste ab inefficiency in medicare and medicaid will pay for much of this plan. much of the rest would be paid for from revenues from the very thing drug and insurance companies that stand to benefit from tens of millions of new custome customers. >> there, president obama claiming government run health care would be self-sufficient and could rely on premiums, but is it really possible to insure tens of millions of more people and reduce costs at the same time? >> well, we're crunching the numbers with rebecca diamond, co-host of happy hour on the fox business network, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> that's the big question,

let's get out our calculators, do the math for us. is it possible to get-- provide health care for everyone and reduce costs at the same time? >> well, the president says that it will cost 900 billion over ten years for what, for covering more americans. okay, so, let's break that down. he says it's going to be deficit neutral. it's not going to add to the deficit. that's what that means and the reason it's not going to, he's going to extract 500 billion in savings from the medicare program, he's calling that waste and fraud, but what do they define as waste? is it a certain medications that will no longer be covered? are they tests that the doctor wants, but medicare will no longer pay for? so what they perceive as waste to the patient and the doctor, is perceived as necessity. you try cutting anything from medicare, those seniors citizens are going to be all over that white house and all over capitol hill. the other thing he says, he says, there in that sound bite, that they're going to leafy--

levy fees and those companies pass on the cost tos to us, the kourme consumers. he's going to tax luxury health plans. who has luxury health plans, they are mostly unions, government officials, if you look at our health plans, i don't know if you're under newscorp at our company compared to say a new york city worker, they have, the new york city worker, much better health plans than private companies so in essence he's going to tax the middle class. and his constituents, that won't fly. >> another major campaign promise. and the other thing, the government option government controlled plan can be paid for with their own premiums, roughly he said 5%, how are they going to pay for the plan with its own premiums, doesn't seem big enough. >> right, 5% of that would be 5 million to 6 million people that he says need a government plan.

well, if that's the case, just, add them to not medicare, medicaid, which is the state-run version of medicare. you know, the other thing people are saying, well, why do we need this then? i thought the premise of this, not just to insure those who are uninsured, what about for the rest of us, too? what is this doing to drive down the costs and lower our premiums, get us better coverage? lower it for the country? i mean, it's so much health care cost of grosse pointe woods, -- of gdp. something has to be done, not sure if this is the right plan. >> rebecca diamond from the fox business network, see her on happy hour. >> thank you. >> a story we first told you about on "fox & friends," a father fighting to get his son back from italy has a confrontation with the boy's mother. liam's dad to tell you what went down when he was in rome. the great taste

>> we have an update for you, excuse me, now in the heart breaking story of liam, the american boy trapped in an italian orphanage you heard about on "fox & friends." his american father fighting more than two years to bring liam home ever since liam's mother took him to italy. he was deemed mentally unfit-- is his mother was deemed unfit by the courts. and two weeks ago michael mccarte went to italy to reyiet wi reyiet-- reunite with his son and things went terribly wrong. welcome back to "fox & friends," tell us what happened when you went to italy. >> it was devastating, heart breaking, and outrageous.

i went to visit liam at social services. when i arrived there, outside the building, interest was a be mob of people and in the middle of that was my son, who was extremely upset. he did not want to be there. the mob of people consisted of police officers, reporters, and some people i recognized they were yelling and screaming, people were running around, i came to find out that liam had been kept all night. brought there by police escort in a car with his mother, his grandmother, and-- >> hold it, let me interrupt you, remember, his mother, as we know taken away by the italian courts, how could she be with them. >> that's the question and we're trying to find out exactly why. but he had been placed with the-- temporarily with the grandparents while the orphanage was closed and clearly he's been with the mother the whole time. what they had done, they have arranged a kind of defacto press conference and they were trying to say whatever, i don't know,

they were yelling and screaming, the mother and grandmother and liam was in the middle of that and they were trying to get him to speak and say things and he was just extremely upset. it was heart breaking. >> and what was liam's responses to you. >> well, he-- he didn't know what to do. i mean, they got him to say you know, kind of yell some things at me and i've read an eyewitness account from social services and that after he did that, some gentleman, a friend of the family, i don't know his role in liam's life. patted liam on the shoulder and this is what he said to liam, bravo, you just told off your father really well. so, clearly, they are just torturing and abusing him and you've got to wonder what they're doing to him if he doesn't act this way. >> that's so horrible and heart breaking, michael. i want to bring you in because i know you're shaking your head. >> i'm like enraged. >> tell us the legal angle. >> all the italian courts were

supposed to do is be them dealt with the court system like we did with elian gonzalez, and they're not following through on the orders and the whole policy behind the haig convention, stop parents running to another country where they think they've got a better deal. and this woman has an order now that precludes michael from putting up websites. we have a thing in america, the bill of rights, the first amendment and's not supposed to be told to do that. that's the kind of stuff that was supposed to be eliminating and they were supposed to send the boy back, do what you're supposed to do and send him home. >> we don't have much time, but what is your next move? >> well, you know, they keep changing the rules of the game. and we're spoed to have things later this month. we don't know. one thing i want to make clear, this is not a custody battle. people have gotten a lot of attention-- you've been awarded full custody. >> i've been awarded full

custody. there's a competing order of custody in italy that grants custody to italian social services, what i'm doing, i'm battling bureaucracy, i'm battling the system, it's not me against his family over there, his mother, grandmother, whatever, it's me, wherever they place him he's a ward of the state and it's me against the system of bureaucracy and it gets more and more outrageous every single day. >> well, so many people in our audience are interested in your story, we've been following it and i know that the italian youthful court says you have to basically remove liam and the story from all websites, you can't do that and in fact, fox news will have this on our website and people can go to save liam.org and learn more about this and thanks for talking about it. meanwhile, a week before he was due to go to prison. former governor rod blagojevich's go-to guy is found dead. we have that in the latest investigation this morning. a truly inspirational story, an obese woman who lost almost 400

papers and in fact, they did catch them. listen to what-- how the acorn worker suggested that they-- >> and making money and they're underage, nobody know anyway. >> and i would say-- >> when i was-- >> i'm not hearing this. >> all right, so, now acorn deciding instead of taking responsibility for its actions and laying-- fessing up to the problem, deciding to point fingers. >> they did fire those employees, we'll give them some credit, they want to bring legal action against us at fox. they say it was doctored, edited and no more portrayed by activist film makers. >> lets me interrupt for a second they can say it's doctored and editing. no amount of editing can put the words in acorn workers mouth and basically she is confronted with who she thinks are a pimp and a

prostitute and they're talking about opening a brothel and the guy says, the film maker, who is disguised as pimp says i'm going to be bringing in a lot of girls, underage girls from central america so-- from el salvador and need to know what to put on the paper work. >> and encourages the prostitutes to be performers, put that down in your paper work as a performer. >> furthermore she said don't mention you have 13 of them. that will raise eyebrows, mention you have a few and claim them as dependents on your tax frm. though amount of editing could put those words into the workers mouth. you heard it straight from the horse's mouth so they have been fired and now the census bureau and others are distancing themselves from acorn and severing ties as you probably know, of the federal government giving millions of dollars to acorn over the past ten years and there's now an investigation into whether that should happen as well. >> let's talk about developments in the rod blagojevich case.

morning. carol mariana, the chicago sun times brought up an interesting point. he was best friends with this guy, and may have felt pressure over the past few days, whether or not he would turn. would he be on the defense stand defending his friend rod blagojevich or asked to turn states evidence and come out against his friend and become actually a witness where he would get off scott free in some capacity. >> which of course, he wasn't willing to do because he was so close to him and said he would rather go to the grave, but what is so terribly tragic and heart breaking he had three young daughters, chris kelly three young daughters, nine, 11, 14. >> an and wife. >> at that age and made this decision. >> and a wife. and reportedly someone who claims to be his girlfriend that he called and said that he had taken too much aspirin. the governor, former governor b blagojevich says he's deeply

saddened and his heart goes out to his family and they're in his prayers. >> what else is happening in the news. there are reports that the obama administration will give afghan detainees more rights when it comes to challenging their detention. under the program, each prisoner at bagram will be provided a u.s. military official to serve as their personal representative, that official will argue the prisoner's case before the detainee review boards and they will call witnesses and submit evidence and there are about 600 detainees at the prison. >> this is lightning and walnut creek, california. thunderstorms rolled in knocking out power and igniting brush fires and the national weather service report there had have been at least 250 lightning strikes in the bay area, california fire crews battled more than # 15 lightning fires in two counties and tell us what's coming up. >> get out your kindles and your wallets. the lost symbol, the new author

>> clayton: welcome back to fox frandz, 16 minutes past the hour. president obama spoke to congress early this week, and tried to clarify his health care plan, but was he stretching the truth a little to get miss message across? good question, we turn to stephen moore, senior economics writer for the "wall street journal" to do fact checking with obama's words. stephen, good to see you this morning. >> good morning. >> clayton: let's take sound bite number one, three to get through and i'll play one sound bite from wednesday night with the president talking about half of all americans losing their health care. take a listen: >> president barack obama: based on a brand new report from the treasury department we can expect that about half of all americans under 65 will lose their health coverage at some point over the next ten years. >> clayton: from this is radio address this weekend talking about the 50/50 scare tactic. is that a scare tactic, some critics alleged. >> i certainly think it is. because if you think about it, where do most americans get their health care today, about 70% get their health care from

their employer. now, to go -- have a situation where we would only have half of americans with health care that would have to mean you would have a massive number, tens of millions of americans, lose their jobs because their employers would no longer provide them with health care. so i think that is a stretch. i think to say you will only have half of americans can afford to have health insurance, i don't think that really passes the lab test. >> clayton: addressing the current deficit problems in the u.s. and pointing to health care as the reason, on wednesday night. take a listen: >> president barack obama: finally our health care system is placing an unsustainable burden on taxpayers. when health care costs grow at the rate they have it puts greater pressure on programs like medicare, and medicaid. if we do nothing to slow these skyrocketing costs, we will eventually be spending more on medicare and medicaid than every other government program bind. -- combined. put simply, our health care problem is our deficit problem.

>> clayton: fact or fiction time, is medicare the liability? >> there is no question about it. you know, he's not being untruthful here, it is just that he has come to the wrong conclusion on this, clayton, he is basically saying, look, medicare and medicaid are bankrupting the federal government and that is righted, the programs have toevens trillions of dollars of unfunded liability -- tens of trillions of dollars of unfunded liability but the solution doesn't fit the problem, the solution is to expand government health insurance which would make the liabilities of these programs and the federal deficit, much worse, i mean, look, you can created a new $1 trillion entitlement plan and say you will reduce the deficit, and i think this is the fundamental contradiction of what the president proposed. >> clayton: sound bite number 3, addressing for the reform, listen to this question. >> i don't believe malpractice reform is a silver bullet. but i talked to enough doctors to know that defensive medicine may be contributing to

unnecessary costs. so... [applause]. >> president barack obama: so, i'm proposing we move forward on a range of ideas about how to put patient safety first and let doctors focus on practicing medicine. >> clayton: fact or fiction if the president -- this is president open to for the reform. >> an 1100 page bill in the house of representatives, i've read the bill and there are zero pages to for the reform and medical malpractice reform that in bill. >> clayton: stephen moore, nice to see you, thanks for joining us. >> have a great weekend. >> clayton: coming up on the show, should she -- she should be getting married this morning but instead, missing yale student annie le seems to have vanished into thin air, the latest on the mysterious case, straight ahead. lp [ woman ] dear cat. gentle cat.

your hair mixes with pollen and dust in the air. i get congested. my eyes itch. i have to banish you to the garden. but now with zyrtec-d®, i have the proven allergy relief of zyrtec®, plus a powerful decongestant. i can breathe freer with zyrtec-d®. so, i'll race you to our favorite chair. i might even let you win. zyrtec-d® lets me breathe easier, so i can love the air™. zyrtec-d®. behind the pharmacy counter. no prescription needed.

which beneful prepared meals. tonight? roasted chicken recipe? okay, savory rice and lamb stew. [ barks ] you're right. tonight is a beef stew kind of night. you've made another fine choice. look at those beefy chunks all packed with protein, the real vitamin-rich vegetables, the wholesome grains. and you think you're getting spoiled. it's so good for you too.

>> well today was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, we're talking about missing yale grad student annie le. and it was supposed to be her wedding day and instead the mystery surrounding the bride to be's disappearance continues. >> yesterday, investigator seized potential evidence from the lab, where she was last seen. and, there are reports that bloody clothing was among those items. so, where is annie and what happened to her? let's ask criminal profiler pat brown to weigh in on the case, good morning to you, pat. >> good morning. >> dave: so many things, are difficult to make out and on what may have happen and i think we can safely rule out the run away bride concept, but what do you think may have happened to annie le, the yale graduate student. >> i don't want to comment on the runaway bride thing, it comes up these days when somebody is getting married and goes missing and this is so, so sad, because annie le i think will end up horrifyingly representing what i would call the most innocent of all victims and we don't have somebody involved in drug dealing and

shot shot or got drunk and home with a stranger or jogging in the middle of the night and somebody who did anything, even foolish. she was going about apparently her normal routine and even wrote of the -- piece about that, you have to be careful and she was on campus, doing what she normally does, working, and it just is horrifying to think, even somebody who does not even one foolish thing, can have this happen to them and i think, something horrible has happened to annie le. >> alisyn: good point, we talked to a detective who said from the details police reported, what he believes is if she was the victim of something, it was at the hands of an insider, because, who else knows their way around a university science lab. what can you glean about somebody's personality, the personality of a criminal, who might be responsible? >> we would be look at things on the inside, somebody who works in the building, doing a main

thing, or you know, working the hallways and then it is odd, because usually somebody like that, and they kill so, you know, rape and kill somebody in the building they usually run and don't do so much work to try to hide everything and it is tending to look like somebody not quite like that, maybe somebody she knew, had an obsession with her and decided, angry that she was going to marry somebody else, and, even if she didn't know he had an obsession with her, decided, he had an entitlement thing and got angry, now, great you will be a married lady and i'll have no chance with you and that is what it is beginning to seem like it is, so, i think they are looking inside the building and will be check with anybody who has the suspicious behavior around that point in time. >> alisyn: we know something strange happened the day she went missing. one of her professors abruptly cancelled a class before there was any news that she was mission and the professor is not a suspect but has been interviewed, so you think that her impending wedding is a clue here? >> i do think so. and unless there is proof there was a squirrely guy working in

the building as a handy man or a janitor who knew his way around and decided to go work overtime, to hide the evidence, you don't usually see that with those kinds of guys and yes, i'm leaning toward the fact it is somebody she knew well enough they were upset with the impending widthing. >> dave: criminal profiler, pat brown, thanks for the insights. >> thanks. >> dave: serena williams goes loco at the u.s. open, find out how costly the temper tantrum was for the three time open champ, first, let's check in with rick. are you with us? pay attention, my friend. are up, we'll be right back after the break. >> alisyn: he refeuds to give thus weather. all right, rick. geatmagi reen f a..

bill get passed that fails, that doesn't work. you know, i intend to be president for a while and once this, you know, passes i own it. and if people look and say, you know what, this hasn't reduced my costs, my premiums are still going up 25%, insurance companies are still jerking me around, i am the one who will be held responsible. so i have every incentive to get this right. >> alisyn: you snow, what bloggers have pointed out is that whenever he feels the tide of public opinion turns against him, he'll go on "60 minutes," this is his third appearance and it is a sympathetic platform for him and steve krotz got the big interview. >> dave: inside scoop. >> alisyn: at the white house and if you really wanted to actually face the tough questions and perhaps reach more people, who are not -- go on fox news channel and bill o'reilly did arguably the most

interesting interview with barack obama when he was -- >> dave: without a doubt and i think people across the political spectrum agreed, we'd love to see him go on "the factor" and is nice to see the president admit what we said, he needs to on it and make it his and he's right it is his legacy that hangs in the balance here, but, is he owning it because he still has not come out and said, i will or will not sign a bill with the public option, with the government control, he is kind of leaving that gray area open, for what we believe might be a co-op in the final bill. >> clayton: there's a couple of interesting gray areas and karl rove on our air yesterday pointed out the creative language from the wednesday address about the public option calling it an exchange, a co-op perhaps a and addressing for the reform at the wednesday address and turned a lot of republicans' heads, did he say for the reform whether or not he wants to move forward on that as stephen moore point out, there are zero mentions of it in the actual bill and president obama yesterday in minneapolis, trying to rile up the crowd and get them fired up a bit.

>> president barack obama: i'm feeling kind of fired up! [laughter] [cheers and applause]. >> president barack obama: i'm feeling like i'm ready to go! >> clayton: maybe after august -- >> alisyn: tomorrow is a big day. because, i think the gang of 6, the bipartisan group that has been trying to hammer out some sort of compromise, in the senate finance committee i think will present what they have come up with, and no word on whether or not this is going to be bipartisan, at the end of the day. >> and a two pronged battle for the president and also tomorrow me speak outen wall street about the financial crisis and will the message by tomorrow afternoon be the economy? >> stay tuned for all of that and in the meantime your headlines for you, what is happening at this hour, and that is there is a new development in the case of the iraqi shoe-thrower. remember this incident that happened to former president bush?

well, that iraqi journalist is being released from jail, because of good behavior. he has been seen -- has been in custody, and it is unclear as to what day the iraqi shoe throw your will be released from prison but it could be sometime as early as this week. he was initially sentenced to three years in prison after pleading not guilty, the court reduced to it one year because he had no criminal history. >> clayton: looks like democracy might be taking hold. >> alisyn: that is an interpretation, manhunt out for henry smith, convicted killer, he escaped from the largest maximum security prison in the country on thursday and more than 200 armed agents are now searching for the 44-year-old convict from the louisiana state penitentiary and deputies say he's violent and not sure whether he's armed and police in the area, were warned -- people were warned to stay inside their homes, if you have any information, or if you have seen henry smith call 911,

after she called the foot fault is what she was cited for and penalized for what is called a conduct pointed which gave the match -- clijsters, the first mom in the u.s. open final in almost 30 years and, a bit of confusion in the video there, it was when she went over and started screaming at the lineswoman and that is when she was cried for a conduct penalty. >> clayton: i watched it live last night at 11:00 p.m. unfortunately, i was still awake and couldn't hear it but they had the microphones there and the ambient microphones and pick up all the sound and had them review it and listen to what was said and there is back and forth there but to end the match on that? >> dave: i have never seen anything like this, not from the likes of john mcenroe or anything in tennis and i know rick reichmuth was glued to the action as well and can't believe it, either. what a melted down, huh, rick. >> rick: i never saw anything like it, watching it last night unfold, it seemed to be a train wreck that you really wanted to stop. and i wish -- i'm sure she'd love to go back in time and stop it as well.

flooding again, especially around the dallas/ft. worth area and some saw three inches tonight and 2-3 inches today and dangerous conditions across much of the area and we'll continue to watch that, and guys now back to you inside. >> clayton: thanks, rick. >> alisyn: 39 minutes after the hour and, time for this week's fresh start. you want to help a good cause but you don't have a lot of money, i have this perfect solution, it is thrift store shopping! watch this. >> thrift shops are hot at the moment and people are looking for ways to save money. we have been describing it as the highest quality thrift shop in new york, furniture, housewares, jewelry, books, antiques, art work, it is all here. >> alisyn: explain how shopping for thrift actually helps the community. >> the money that is spent and

collected goes towards the organization we support. >> this thrift shop has been around for 30 years and raised literally millions of dollars to support new york city opera. >> alisyn: what is it -- people have responded to you about it, is it cheaper. >> the hunt for the bargains. >> alisyn: in tough times i confess when i go into a thrift store it feels like my grandmother's attic. >> right. >> alisyn: and i never know how to sort out a dud from a diamond. what do you do? >> well, you know, i mean, it is such a wide asort of things and once you are going into a thrift shop you want to have in mind desires that you -- things that you can find in a thrift shop. >> alisyn: i've heard one thing people look for in vintage stores are designer bags. >> yes. >> alisyn: those are real finds. >> you can find replicas and reproduction and you can find knock-offs here. >> alisyn: how can it only be $35 instead of $3,000? i find something here i could actually go to work in.

>> absolutely! >> this is a cute suit, fabulous. try it on. it is perfectly tailored. >> alisyn: should you always look for something with a label in cash. >> no. no. not at all. don't be conscious of that. >> alisyn: how do you know what is designer. >> you can tell by the label and this is a -- >> alisyn: for a night out. >> what's this. >> alisyn: a men's suit. >> yes. >> alisyn: a men's suit. >> alisyn: wow! >> we want people to come out here looking like a million bucks even if they only spend $25. >> clayton: something smells vintage here. >> alisyn: what do you thing of my vintage outfit, i got this at

the vintage store and you can get something that is good for work, it can be even -- >> clayton: this is the first time we get to look like this. >> alisyn: at the vintage store and worth hundreds and hundreds of dollars and got it for $75 and the designer is taijani and if vintage shopping, it is good for the community, not just finding a great dress it supports your local charities. >> clayton: i friend brendan only buys vintage shirts and vintage pants like cramer. >> fantastic! >> dave: i don't have the time, i'm too impatient and need t get in and get out and who is why i don't end up going. >> alisyn: i thought also but you find diamonds in there, if you devoted 10 minutes to it. >> clayton: diamond in the rough. >> dave: the next thing, acorn. caught on camera, helping people cheat on their taxes. but it is -- instead of going after acorn the baltimore state attorney plans to go after the

people who shoppe shot the incriminating footage, our next guest says enough already. the chair of maryland's republican party joins us right after the break. >> clayton: plus we want to be involved in our children's lives... i know i do do it but should we spy on themmal. >> a fair and balanced debate, coming up. it's good. >> dave: what is this -- >> alisyn: designers sometimes give the clothes to vintage thrifts and you can find new stuff, like this. feel it. >> clayton: a mesh. >> dave: a mesh thing going on.

>> if they are making money... >> if they are making money and under age, it should be -- didn't let nobody know anyway. >> we told the bankers... >> i was -- >> i'm not hearing that. >> clayton: i'm not hearing it. >> alisyn: i'm helping you falsify your documents. >> clayton: our next guest is helping to lead the charge in and all-out investigation of acorn. >> alisyn: we are joined by dr. james palora, good morning. >> nice to be here. >> alisyn: after seeing that video, what did the maryland g.o.p. decide to do? >> the thing is, if the story wasn't so serious it would be funny and the thing here is, this is a -- not an undercover sting on a business, this is an organization that gets millions and possibly billions of taxpayer dollars. to operate. and, i am concerned about the number -- number of maryland

taxpayer dollars. >> clayton: you have launched an all-out investigation and acorn received money since 2003, and continue to receive millions of dollars in funding, what do you want the white house now to do? does president obama need to step up and say, no more taxpayer dollars for acorn? >> well, i think because everyone knows the association with president obama, and this organization, so, president obama has to take a stand here. but, congress, congress this is one that controls the spending, now, i think it is up to congress, to initiate this investigation and i applaud congress and bartlett -- congressman bartlett for being another congressman and another member of congress asking for an investigation. we ought to take representative conyers from michigan at his word a while back when he initiated it, and -- an investigation but since dropped that call. >> alisyn: but, doctor, what i hear there are a lot of investigations and some have been going on since some of the dubious practices in the last

election. that were highlighted. but, no findings. >> well, a lot of these investigations have been squashed before the findings were released. and, john conyers, is just another one and called for an investigation and then, his words are that there was not sufficient evidence. well, i think considering the am of money that this organization is -- has received, and is about to receive, i think these investigations have to get serious. >> clayton: we have to leave it there. unfortunately, doctor, we have to leave it there, come back an update us when you guys have evidence about this and keep us in the loop on the discussion, okay? >> sure will, thanks. >> alisyn: thank you. all right. are you a parent guilty of spying on your kids on the internet? do you even consider it spying if you occasionally check out their social networking pages in e-? well, if so, you are not alone, are you crossing the line or protecting their safety? we have that debate next.

>> alisyn: we have a bit of breaking news into our newsroom, you remember cox man -- after republican congressman joe wilson shouted "you lie" after the president's address, he called the president to apologize and those on capitol hill asked for an apology on the house floor and wilson spoke this morning with chris wallace on "fox news sunday" and made his position very clear. >> i am not going to apologize again. i apologized to the president on wednesday night. i was advised then that, thank

you, now let's go into a civil discussion of the issues. but, i am -- apologized one time and the apology was accepted by the president and the vice president, who i know, and i have not apology -- am not apologizing again. >> alisyn: he's currently in a neck and neck race to retain the congressional seat against democrat robert miller. over to the guys. >> dave: thank you, aly, you a a parent guilty of spying on your kids on the internet, there are pros and cons to the practice and here to discuss is dr. neil bernstein, psychologist and author of the book "there when he needs you" and an assistant professor of psychology, and education. good morning to both of you, doctor, let me start with you. i guess my kids are too young and when they are old enough i will spy on their facebook page and why is that a bad idea. >> it's okay to start out that way and look at the profile and make sure you know what they are doing but the problem is, we

don't want to send kids the smejs message the reason to do something, is bass you are being spied on or punished. we want to instill values and raise them to be independent and want them to be trustworthy and want them to learn how to deal with situations and learn life's lessons. the problem, the main problem with monitoring everything a kid does, is it gives him no leeway, and makes him angry and resentful and worst of all, parents who do it regularly seem to like it and think it is great and ask kids the same questions, and it is, you've got to be kidding. no way would i want my parent to do that. friction. one exception being, the one exception being, when a young person is crossing the line and is behaving with at risk behavior we need to know what is going on. >> dave: we want to prevent the at-risk behavior and why do you think it is a good idea to keep an eye on your kids' social networking?

>> you shouldn't be spying but you should be very involved, and a generation ago, when all we had were telephones, we were is not allowed to have tfrngs in our bedroom or -- tophones in o bedroom or our own private phone line and parents feel pressured now, to give them everything, and often, they say everyone is on facebook and the parents don't know how to respond and the most advanced texting phones, parents feel intimidated by the technology and don't understand, they can set limit and make boundaries the same that's good old days and parents said you could only use the one phone in the kitchen. >> dave: it's an intriguing debate, doctor, unfortunately we had breaking news this morning and apologize we have to wrap it up so quickly and appreciate you being here and there is a web site, myparentsjoinedfacebook.com. after the break, nfl season is

here and so, too, are our nfl picks, stick around. what are you going to miss when you have an allergy attack? achoo!
