longer before the final bell continues. this year at school. bill: if they get the public what is the president's top option, you will not have private health insurance education adviser saying that is making most kids cringe? separate from dental insurance? martha: me too. >> i think that the public option, of the exchange they have included a children's benefit, which must be offered by a qualified health plan. we would say that it needs to be priced and offered separately. we feel that this is the best way. shepard: so what if it is bumbled? -- bumbled -- bob undled?

about having dental included. but there are thousands in separations. there are things that are different for medical care. we do not want it set aside, relegated to care. bill: why are we just hearing about the smell? -- hearing about this now? >> with world health care in america, we have seen great things in the last 50 years. people's teeth are looking great. people think about going to the dentist just for white mink. but there are so many things that the mouth can talk about with the body. diseases that can come from the mouth. having a great smile affects your work throughout your life. we want to value that stand to

benefit. bill: many diseases can beacon -- bell and during oral exam, we will watch to see what kind of progress you make. martha: the secret service is investigating facebook after martha: we are talking about someone used the website to poll swine flu. two different states have closed users on whether someone should murder the president. the entire school system is because they have been hit so hard. bill: the feds are making a big in texas and oklahoma, we are push to crack down on told that those school systems distractive driving. in oklahoma are relatively small, but they are literally we talk about this with teenagers all of the time. closing down a school's. so far we have two states we will show you what they're doing and what it means for the closing systems. folks that like to drive with their phone in one hand. bill: in the meantime, she is a lawyer by day, a seductress by >> 1, 3, 6, 8, one.

school, safer. is this asocial " gramm? extended day care for students -- is this a social program? the extended day care for students? >> what they are talking about here is the fact that we need to give families more power to choose the best school bill: talk about a status update. environment. we should not be giving a one- the secret service is size-fits-all solution to this issue. investigating facebook after a families are in the best poll showed up asking users to position to know what works best vote on whether the president for their children. martha: some of these schools should be killed. are charter schools, right there it was quickly taken down. facebook said that it was you have got a whole different created by one of the users. equation. parents that shows these schools, parents more involved, they say that they are working teachers probably better than with the secret service on that the public school system. investigation. martha: let's talk about a >> you have got to do a careful political odd couple. newt gingrich and al sharpton. study to tease out the effects of after-school programs. they went on a road trip the strongest studies that have

martha: pretty good news for the housing market. now this, a fox news alert on the efforts to stop a nuclear iran. the head of their nuclear atomic agency said today that in the talks, on october 1, they will . let discuss the issue of nuclear weapons. that that is off the table. the issue raises another big question, is iran currently developing a nuclear warhead? germany, france, israel, they all claim that they think iran never stopped their program to develop a nuclear warhead be read u.s. intelligence differs from that. u.s. intelligence says that they stopped six years ago. why is there such vastly

different halogens on this issue? joining us now is our fox news contributor, them gillerman. welcome. why is this so different? we saw that very controversial intelligence estimate. they say that it never stopped. >> as you just said, rightly so, the report was published in 2007. it was not just controversial, it was scandalous. i know that many people regretted it. it was premature and incomplete, weakening the case against iran diplomatically and politically. then you have the president of the united states, last friday

standing in front of the whole world saying that they have just discovered that iran has another nuclear facility capable of producing nuclear weapons, something they totally denied until it was discovered. we are dealing with a regime martha: jay rockefeller is that is deceitful, lying, lying putting his amendment forward to the world, trying to into the very significant discussion. next, charles schumer is going to be there with his ideas on in asserting that public option. really doing. they want that to be back on the table, back in the discussion. they will talk about it today, take a break for dinner, and get regarding 9/11 or iraq, we need back to work later this evening. the other news to tell you to look at all evidence -- about is that warren hatchet a israeli, german, french, british, iran is on a quest to minute about reducing abortion funding. acquire nuclear weapons. we must take every measure.

i'm talking about the show. talking about the end of 2009, just going to watch it on tv. just going to watch it on tv. and the rest of the world is much further along. i think that today we have the evidence that is a smoking gun. unfortunately the gun smokes only after it has been fired. that is too late. we have learned the lesson the hard way, of the whole world waiting, paying a huge price. listen to do what the president of iran as saying. my advice is not to listen to us, listen to everyone else.

take it at face value. martha: it becomes a very different picture of iran has a nuclear warhead. they want to push israel off the mat, that is their stated goal. >> we are already living in an incredibly dangerous world. not just with iran, if iran is actually in possession of a nuclear weapon, this is a horribly dangerous and of the world.

just the mere fact that they have that, the fact that they have an arab neighbors would be devastating. the world cannot afford to having nuclear iran. martha: this is a crucial issue to the security of the world. we thank you very much for shedding light on it with us today. thank you, sir. >> good to be with you. martha: for more on the iranian nuclear debate, why is so much different material being produced on this? logon to foxnews.com. we want to know what you are thinking. geneva negotiations for nukes?

that means is new this morning. "the obama administration plans to push for new sanctions against iran." your comments will be posted on that page. bill: your bank account is guaranteed by the fdic. what about your cash? martha: we showed you what the government has put out, public service warnings. still many of americans are doing distracting things while

driving. ( music, cheering ) score delivery pizza... hut! hut! ( thud ) ouch! minus the delivery price. ♪ for fresh delivery taste without the delivery price, it's digiorno. ♪

bill: we will find out how dangerous texting while driving can be. a test track created by ford motor co's is designed to help drivers see the impact of these distractions that kill far too many american teenagers every year. we have with us jim gramm and hillary, she is beginning paid. -- the pig -- beginning paid the -- theguinnshe is the guinn.

jim, how much more aware are teenagers after they drive your course? >> we like to tell people that learning to drive as a lifelong process. every bit of information we can give help. when they leave it we hope we understand how -- we hope that the kids understand how distracted this makes them. they will learn quite a bit by doing this exercise. this is just one of many that we do. bill: hillary, i think that this was you driving on screen left? are you different after taking this course? >> yes. i learned so much. one of the things i used to do was to concentrate on the coast so that i was not hitting them. but i learned to use my side

mirrors. when the radio was on, they were switching gears, they wanted me to send a text, i did not know what to do. bill: i encourage you, but that cellphone del. wait until you stop. jim, tell me about the distractions. >> one of the things we are asking people to do is texting. also, make a phone call. also switch things in the car, like radio volume. look for directions. those kinds of things. typical things that happened inside of a car. bill: hillary, are any of your friends doing this course? >> yes, most of these kids are seniors as well. bill: [inaudible]

>> yes, they do. i am pretty sure they are going to stop. this is dangerous. going 40 miles per hour, i cannot control the car, i do not like that feeling. bill: you are a great example. tell your classmates, hilary. jim, you are doing good work. we talk about this topic all the time under "america's newsroom." -- all the time of "america's newsroom -- all of the time on t"america's newsroom." martha: supporters of health care reform said the primary care should be the focus. what if you need an advanced procedure, like robotic surgery or one of the other amazing developments in medicine? will the health care reform plan shut the door in your ability to

get access to these cutting edge treatments? we are going to talk to a from insurgents all the time. bill: -- we are going to talk to a prominent surgeon. bill: is a government-run plan a stepping stone for single payer health care?

>> ♪ wonderful copenhagen friendly old girl ♪ bill: i wonder if he is going to see the mermaid, you know? martha: maybe he will. [laughter] bill: off to copenhagen. despite health care and the war in afghanistan, the president is making time for a trip to denmark to help his hometown of chicago possibly get the olympic

games. president obama is flying to denmark to make the pitch late on thursday night. now you wonder if he is going to be successful. martha: what if they do not win? he went all the way there. 20,000 cases of swine flu on u.s. campuses. more than 700 were at one place, the university of yellow light was hit very hard. they had 30 to 40 new cases every day. school officials are trying to manage students that have this virus. >> the first step is to convince the students that you are sick and you need to come the health center and get help. once you get those students through the door, there is an immediate sign that says if --

asks if you have a cough. if you have one college you are put into a mask and put in a separate area -- if you have one you are put into a mask and put into a separate area. if the students are diagnosed they get a hydration pack. there is sprite, a gatorade, chicken noodle soup, tea, and sanitize our, kleenex, and even a disposable thermometers. they are given this pact until a family member can pick them up for a student is put into a separate isolation room until they recover. martha: i take it if you heard your ankle, and you will want to go someplace else. a lot of sickness there, thank you. good job. bill: minutes away, live from capitol hill, the senate finance committee is set to take on the government option.

it could be the biggest battle in the biggest bill for the entire congressional term. megyn: -- martha: do you see this class picture? the obama administration has an estimated 40 czars. how much money and power do these people really have? the answer is coming up.

[captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- martha: fox news alert, looking to breathe new life into the so-

called public insurance option. it is back. the senate finance committee is hard at work this morning trying to debate the details of this bill. the far left is at odds with moderate democrats over this issue of a government run public option. many liberals have made it clear, months ago, that ultimately they support a single payer system. >> next to me was a man from the insurance company who argued against the public option saying that it would not let private insurance compete. that a public option would put them out of business. [cheering] the man was right.

martha: yet the bill from max baucus is not include a public option. democrat versus democrat, at this hour in "america's newsroom." bill: this does not include the so-called public option, something that could lead to a single payer system, something that the president has called for himself in the past. >> i am a proponent of single payer health care. [applause] single payer health care. that is what i would like to see. as all of you know, we may not get there immediately. [applause] martha: that was the president in 2003, saying they he was in favor of single payer.

2009 now, what is the expectation, carl, of democrats trying to change the public option? >> pretty gutsy. you set the stage. this quest for a public run insurance program has been longstanding for the democratic party. just last week they were to have wrapped up the work in the finance committee. we have not seen many senators get. this was supposed to be the week that they wrote the bill and got it passed, but what is happening today is remarkable. a non-profit, what is going to undo iy, turning it into a government-run insurance program. a very big test vote, what democrats would like to do is make it unanimous, take out the alternatives.

last week on thursday night they made it clear how they would be going forward. max baucus has said this, over and over, there has to be an alternative. democrats are testing that. martha: very interesting. for a while it felt like the public option was going away. the president never really drop it completely. why are they deciding that now is the time the fight? >> this is an overt and strategic tactical maneuver telling everyone that they are serious about the public option. there has been a lot of rhetoric over the last few months. harry reid, using legislative

jargon to try to push it through, democrats have been saying to the leadership's that if we have to steamrolled this the hard way, we are willing to do that. today there will actually be an amendment to a piece of legislation that will impose a public option. that would mean the democrats have votes in the senate and house. if it gets blocked, which it could, there will do -- there will be two principal objectors. one, max baucus, two is kent conrad. they have serious muscle. they will say see, the only thing that is bipartisan is the opposition. martha: no doubt that the folks fired up all summer about this

will get fired up again. >> no one has had a chance to even read it. when we talk about the likely inevitability of this, on the house side there is a massive flight today -- massive flight today. martha-- massive fight today. martha: thank you, carl. bill: we are getting reports from the senate finance committee on key amendments to the bill, specifically on government-funded abortions. the current plan from max baucus is written with language that allows for taxpayers subsidize abortions. republicans believe that they have the votes to stop it. we will watch that vote today. expected in committee as well.

martha: new york is the only state that requires all health- care workers to get the h1n1 flu shot or they could be fired. right now there are protests in albany, doctors and nurses saying that they do not want to be guinea pigs for the vaccine. the tet -- the centers for disease control and prevention say that the vaccine is safe. they are being told that they have until november 30 to get the shot. bill: you know what my position is. martha: i do not want to take it either. you are hearing that it is not that bad, you can get through it with liquids and everything else. bill: i am with you. people hate when i tell the story, about how they give you the shot. martha: the regular flu shot is ok.

bill: i do not take that one either. in a moment, the cutting edge of modern medicine, robot performing sophisticated surgery. why you might never have access to the treatment. >> @ -- martha: an iranian diplomat is set to meet with world leaders in geneva this week. a host of critical, global issues are on the table. now the islamic republic, what they will not talk about. we will tell you. bill: kids, cover your ears. the school year might get a bit longer. martha: i love this. canopy performance towels are designed

bill: an awful story are coming from mexico. at a beach resort in mexico, a gunman shot two canadian men. witnesses say that the two men were approached by a single gunman outside of the building. the suspect chase them are around the pool before fatally shooting them. two other armed men showed up and continued firing as the suspects lay dying -- as the victims lay dying. martha: let's go outside of the rhetoric of the argument for health care reform. the big question is will you be able to get the best possible care when you need it? this morning we are focused on advanced surgical techniques. robotic surgery is on the cutting edge. our next guest says that it is

cost-effective, helping people to recover faster. we are going to find out why. our guest is the chief of robotics at mount sinai. he is the man to go to if you want something taken out easily and want to get back to work quickly, right? first of all, tell me about the kinds of surgery as you perform. >> we use robotic surgery to remove prostate cancer. men traveled from all over the world, not only for removal, but mostly to have a better quality of life. while the extent of robotic technology is higher, we are thinking long term. if they can get back to work earlier, they can have a better quality of life, sex life,

urinary control, i have done my job in taking care of these guys. martha: how do you do the surgery? how different is it from recovery in usual procedures? >> a few small openings, not much of an incision, very little pain. patients typically spend one night at the hospital. they go home the next day. within two weeks they can get back to work. compared to other options we have had in the past, like radiation and hormone therapy, this is the only option that removes the prostate and patients will know where they stand within six weeks. i am fortunate, as a surgeon, to have not only the technology to take care of this -- martha: all of these similar

procedures are so groundbreaking. we are being told that your health care will not change, that you will be able to get what you want. you say no? >> we are at the fort. as a nation we have to make a decision on whether or not we are just concentrating on the cost for the quality of care. i am still convinced debt we have the best health-care system in the world. we are thinking about technology, science, research. martha: what you see in this plan that makes you think that we will not be able to have this kind of research? >> options should be available. by eliminating them, i had a conversation a couple of weeks ago, telling me that it could be done open without considering what would happen to this patient.

we need to be taking care of our doctors. it does exist between the positions and the patients. we do not want the quality of care to worsen. keep the quality the same way. martha: people come from all over the world and the country, away from their own programs, to come to new york. >> it is all here. martha: thank you, doctor. very interesting. bill: watching your money, the fdic is responsible for insuring your money in the bank. rules might be changing in a big way. tens of billions of dollars, the fdic says that they needed now. why is that? liz has some answers. why is that? >> they are expecting maybe 200 banks to fail.

95 have already failed this year. what happened is that the fdic deposit insurance fund dropped to a record low. that is down dramatically. what is going on is the fdic has quickly set up a credit line into the treasury of $500 billion. what they are really worried about is another big bank failure that would wipe out the deposit insurance fund. bill: i am not feeling so good after this story. we talked about this yesterday. this goes to the health of the banks. how healthy are they? >> looking at government numbers, derivatives exposures alone, i have seen over $200 trillion in derivatives exposures at the top five banks.

regional banks have a lot of problems with commercial real estate. those loans have been belly flopping since the beginning of the year. the problem with fdic insurance funds, the banks may have to pony up to pay. taxpayers are saying that they will love be heard here, they are adamant about that. the problem, quickly, is that the banks are not paying what they should have been paying about one decade ago. bill: can you say with confidence that money is ok? >> i can say that with confidence, the fdic will not be losing money in any of the banks. bill: thank you. what a job? be a czar. what kind of funding that they have? we want to know. martha: former speaker of the

house, tom delay, he earned the the nickname the hammer. now, round two. "is dancing with the stars." is the earning a new nickname? ooh. nkicyi -lepufeou katn se erouca y s te ona tuhachup -b. moav mooi 's p of hde tuhachup -b. coet msas nsio moav mooi
