[ laughter ] >> that is a wrap on news watch this week. we want to thank our panel. come back from washington, juan. >> it's a good show. >> i'm john wallace, we'll see you again next w >> good morning everyone, it's sunday, october 4th, we begin with a fox news alert for you. a stunning report from the united nations. iran now has sufficient information to produce a nuclear bomb. we're live in washington with the latest details. >> and another fox news alert, as eight more u.s. troops killed overnight in afghanistan adding to the death toll this weekend, is the message being sent to president obama deciding whether to send additional troops to the region. >> and free style motocross like you've never seen before. see if i have what it takes to

race like the pros. chances are-- >> i'm assuming no that looks hot. >> as the weather gets chilly in my new town of philly i start to become a slouch. what never gets old are my friend who occupy the curvy couch. >> whew. >> you need some punctuation. >> it's "fox & friends." >> i don't need commas dave. >> commas are for sissies. thank you for joining us. we have a lot to tell you about anything the fox news alert. we'll get into the debate this morning, similar to the debate dave and i had in our meeting about health care. one insurance giant says why

not treat it like auto insurance, riskier pays more. if you have tickets, dui's, do you have pay more of a premium. why not have people who engage in riskier health practices pay more. >> how do you determine risky behavior, if you're born with some sort of condition, some genetic ailments. >> and who exactly has a healthy diet. i don't know, i've got problems with this. there's one thing i like about it, we'll get to that in a little bit. >> this bombshell news out of the united nations overnight. >> yeah, there are some new developments on iran's nuclear program this morning. a leaked report says that iran now has the ability to make a nuclear bomb right now. this comes with the u.n. nuclear weapons chief paid a visit. joining us from washington this morning is james rosen. good morning to you, james. >> and this report from iaea is based on brand new information or information

that they've had for while because our allies have felt this for some time? >> that's true. and most of this does appear to be based on information that's been in the possession of iaea for some time and dave, flashing over the wires this morning, word that iran has set a date for u.n. nuclear inspectors to examine the most recently disclosed site. mohamm mohamed el baradei, announced during a visit to tehran that he and iran's top nuclear official agreed that iaea technicians will be allowed in to inspect the iranian enrichment facility near the holy central city. it was disclosed on october the 25th. this prompted to el baradei to say it's moving from conspiracy to cooperation. talks held last week in agagen a

geneva. >> iran ignored the demands to halt, like the bush administration the white house says if they don't look at those demands there will be sanctions. >>en i know that general el baradei is travelling to iran. there will be additional meetings and we expect the iranians to live up to the promises that they've made now as they begin to make some decisions about living up to the rest of their international obligations. >> all of this comes as you say, dave, as excerpts from an internal iaea draft report continue to leak out and they show that the agencies experts concluded that iran has acquired, quote, sufficient information to be able to design and produce a workable atomic bomb and iran maintains it's strict already for energy

purposes. james, that's scary shall the new report in the new york times how they're ready to go, and they have the ingredients they need. it's quite different from what american intelligence officials and reports before said. is that right? >> well, there was a report that by u.s. intelligence agencies in 2007 called the national intelligence, conclude that had iran stopped working on weaponization in 2004. that was a hotly disputed report. a lot of officials said no, we think that iran is trying to get a nuclear bomb. the times is playing catchup. the associated press had excerpts from this same report from the iaea back on september 17, but this would indicate that iran is in a very good position to take that final step forward and convert all the nuclear work it's had going on for some time now into the work of putting together a bomb. >> thank you so much, james. interesting, this comes on the

heels of ahmadnejad saying once again president obama made a big mistake in criticizing this secret facility because it's not operational for 18 months and he says, ahmadnejad, that they didn't have to disclose it until it was six ponts away from operation so he's not backing away by any means. >> that seems like a loophole in the iaea. >> it is. >> and here are your headlines, what else we're following for you. the battle in afghanistan leaving eight u.s. soldiers dead overnight. as many as seven afghan troops were killed in eastern afghanistan. called one of the fiercest battles in the region in recent years and brings the total number of u.s. deaths in afghanistan this year to 229, compared to 155 all of last year. this, as commanders say american and afghan forces have, quote, inflicted heavy enemy casualties, end quote, during an attack by militants near the pakistan border. dozens of military servicemen

and civilians are joining together to help the victims of the tsunami in samoa. gathered in hawaii to package and ship huge bundles of relief supplies to the region. meanwhile, dozens of distraught relatives agreed to let the samoan government pay for loved ones funerals and the victims will be buried in mass graves following a memorial service on thursday. wind are fueling a fierce fire bernanke northeast of san bernardino, california. some residents are fleeing the areament so far no injuries are reported and it's burned 1500 acres and only 5% contained at this hour. another fire burning in williams arizona known as the gateway to the grand canyon. ironically a controlled burn aimed at protecting the city from wildfires. more than 60 homes have been evacuated there. air tankers have been helping firefighters push back the flames. rick reichmuth is standing by for a look at today's weather out there.

and if it will help. >> well, the bigger problem crossed much of arizona and in towards parts of california is the drought. not that there's any bad fire conditions, but they've got dry conditions there going on really for number of years. it's an el nino this year and generally means we get a lot more moisture during the soun tier of the country, including southern california. that would be very, very good news. no rain for california. no rain for arizona, plenty towards texas and this is where we have a lot of the drought going on. this is good news and some is causing some flash flooding and areas around san antonio dealing with extremely heavy rain this morning and flash flooding going on there. if you're in the areas, be careful if you're headed out. the northeast, the rainy day yesterday, but you can see the big rotation and that's very cool air that's there and that's going to continue to be with us today and tomorrow and keeping things unsettled and speaking of unsettled, across much of the west right now, this is the first big snowstorm of the year pulling in very cold air with it and a

lot of snow is going to be falling by the time we get towards tomorrow. piatt time it's done. where you see the pinks, that well over a foot of snow and some spots two to four feet. good news if you're a ski resort, you want that early snow in. here is your temperatures for the day today. cool across the northern tier feeling like fall. down to the south. not bad in san antonio, phoenix, 82. >> wow. >> your former home of montana looks like a fair amount of snow. >> it was bizarre because when i first moved to montana and i was there covering politics and the governor i literally got there and september 21st, it was fall and didn't stop snowing. >> it hit you early and often. >> are you done with headlines? >> aim done with headlines and looking for-- >> i was trying to put this off. >> coolest you've been. >> a new video game coming out motocross versus atv. we want to you demo and play it.

violent surge, a recent surge in violence in that country so the real question this morning, are more troops needed to get that situation under control? colonel david hunt is a fox news milt analyst and joins me now. good morning to you, colonel. >> hi. >> there's analysis out of the new york times, it's interesting. i think it hits on two key points here. the president has two options, enter into the costly war, put more troops into afghanistan, which could end up getting us bogged down there, with more u.s. troops or remove troops from that countries and therefore,em bolden american's enemies in the country in abandoning afghanistan altogether. what does the president do in the face of the new latest rounds of attraction that we've been seeing? >> yeah, it's very, very difficult. it's tragic we lost those guys. bogged down, clayton. we've been in afghanistan for seven years. i mean, the very definition of bogged down. i think that there's something in the middle and i think what's being called the biden

plan which even general mcchrystal, the command in afghanistan, is talking about, which is to leave about 15 to 20,000 divisions worth of marines and soldiers and special operations soldiers intelligence and hunt bad guys no matter where they are, pakistan to afghanistan, we do not see in this country, from last administration to this, have the stomach in afghanistan, which means more noncombatants, teachers, road builders, agricultural experts than soldiers. a counter insurgency than counter plan. we don't abandon, but i don't see commit to go three to fiver years. >> this thing is confusing, as i've interviewed a number of journalists and experts who spent years in afghanistan who probably know the country better than just about anyone

and said echoing what you're saying, the answer is not more troops in that country at all, that the answer is targeted economic assistance, getting, drawing down american troops in that region, but the real problem now for the president is, more american troops are dying while we're sitting here scratching our heads as to what the next step is. is politics at play in all of this? >> politics and incompetence are at play. what we-- this administration did do a couple of very, very good things there. you've got the new general mcchrystal who is regarded as probably the best we've got at this kind of fight. fired a guy, the previous four-star, and put 20,000 soldiers, marines in there, when you put more of our guys in the middle of bad guys, more of our guys will get killed. we're winning the fight dale which whoever shows up to fight us. the problem is we're in the middle of a corrupt government by karzai, and incompetent and we're trying to change the nature of how we fight, and

we've got backs down the border causing a lot of trouble. it's a very difficult fight and this is why, again, i think the biden plan is the way to go in afghanistan. >> and take a look at the new fox news poll out over the past few days, shows that 64% of americans support military action in afghanistan. of course, it's not defined as to what that military action is and you just brought up pakistan and i want to bring that up. recent round of attacks the past few days in the highly contentious region of afghanistan, all of those fighters we now know came over the border from pakistan. therefore, it's not necessarily about afghanistan, is it? >> no, pakistan, besides having the bomb, is one step away from collapsing. i mean, it's a very troubled country. whose intelligence community and part-- is helping al-qaeda and the taliban and whose military is incompetent in fighting the kind of fight they're in. so, and we've got an international border which we

don't want to cross. there's that-- that's a very difficult fight and again, i think that american people talk about supporting more soldiers in afghanistan, are supporting our guys. >> yeah. >> which is always going to be the case and we love them for doing that, but it's the type of fight that we're going to have to be in, which is the concern of this new administration, and the choice they've got to make. >> colonel david hunt, some people drawing aleutians to what president johnson had in vietnam and some-- >> thanks. >> you're welcome. >> michael moore's movie opened this weekend n it, moore draws stunning comparisons between religion and socialism. what you might not know about moore's own religious background. kind of odd. that's next. show and tell

alisyn to get ought the bacon costume. again? film maker michael moore no stranger to controversy, released "capitalism the love story." some in the christian community are crying foul this morning. >> here is fox news contributor father jonathan morr morris, some came up and said there's a great christian movie coming out. >> shows the church is not against capitaltism. >> he's suggesting there's a more christian way than capitalism. not to talk about michael more, who traditionally has been in the corner with michael moore against capitalism. look at marx, hitler, and in

present day, chavez, castro. has this been a better way? capitalism i would think, is an opportunity, when properly used and regulated at some point that helps people become more humane, to self-determine torques acquire personal property, that's all good, that's all christian, that's all human. >> but he seems to suggest that socialism is actually more christian because it spreads the wealth. >> who is spreading the wealth? it more of a level playing field in his sort of principle. >> what happens is government is the one who's deciding who they're going to spread the wealth to and he also says that capitalism has done nothing for me. he's a millionaire. i haven't gone to see the movie because he hasn't made it free for me. why not? >> as he's in fact said that capitalism has never helped him. he actually has a bit after background in the catholic church though to some extent. >> he says, and this is i believe a big part of the marketing of the film. notice he's using marketing

for the film, a very capitalistic approach things. right, suggesting that he has thought about being a priest or that people saying this about him, that his-- the christian way, the same thing we're seeing the administration doing in proposing a lot of the health care stuff. the moral thing to do is this. >> right. >> i think michael moore here has been disingenuous, but that's just me. sorry for getting so excited. >> great to hear the other side because so many other networks have been saying it's such a christian, deeply religious film so thank you for sharing the other side. >> appreciate your passion. >> hope fading for the next generation? coming up, why kids may not be better off than their parents. >> and a toast this morning to the bloody mary. >> oh. >> the classic cocktail is marking its 75th anniversary and to help celebrate, we are going to show you how to make the perfect bloody mary for your brunch today. where are your glasses.

>> rick has a quick look at the weather. >> i see dave went to the meeting. >> you know how i think. >> we'll go yoos the area, we'll have all of that coming up. stay with us. this is a history of over 50,000 crash-tested cars... this is the world record for longevity and endurance. and one of the most technologically advanced automobiles on the planet. this is the 9th generation e-class. this is mercedes-benz.

>> welcome back here to "fox & friends" on this sunday morning. we're just debating whether or not-- >> you guys are up to something and i'm not in on

it. >> we have a wager at that we haven't figured out and we need some help from the viewers. >> you know why, alisyn. >> why? >> last night it became official. my philadelphia phillies will be taking on dave briggs' colorado rockies on the first round of the playoffs. >> how intriguing is that? >> extremely. >> even for a few days, this is gold. >> gold. aly never watched a sports game. weigh in on it, what should we do, a friendly wager. >> clearly involve some clothing. >> wagering? okay, we'll get into that. >> do you think it will be embarrassing. >> no, not for me, we have to tell you how parents are feeling pessimistic this morning. this is a new rasmussen poll and found that 62% of parents do not believe that their children will be better off than they themselves are. >> yeah, look at the numbers. will today's children be better off than their parents?

no, 62% think that that's the case and only 20% think yes. we've been hearing this for a while when we think about how our parents would live with their jobs. for so long we had that idea you'd be in a job for 30 years, we grew up this idea that your father or mother would work in the jobs and they'd be lifers, and put in their time and retire with pension and live in maybe a comfortable way. not the case anymore, more people end up working at a job for four years and move on. >> not just lack of job security, it's the government spending, it's that people think that we're bankrupting our children's ruch because of the deficit and the debt. >> right and what the dollar will be worth, 10, 20 years from now and that's frightening. >> another number came out, some people thought the economy would be stronger in five years, just 49% in five years? i mean, i consider no doubt this economy will be stronger in five years, stunned it's less than 50. read an interesting op-ed by

robert reich, former advisor to president clinton, a smart economists, liberal, that the economy is only going to get worse. he double digit, he says, jobless numbers in the next few years. >> this is a real pick-me-up this morning, guys. >> yeah and coming up next, but also, what has also, i think, telling of the pessimism is that the numbers of people who are-- believe that their children's future will be worse off has spiked since even just the beginning of '09. that's--7%, now, it's 62. ments so people are getting very concerned. that's the definition of hope. >> let's hope a year from now, once we pull out this have thing the number is well under 40 or 50. we need some positive vibes this morning. >> i don't think i can do that with the headlines. >> maybe later. >> because we do start with an update on the typhoon. at least 16 people are dead following that fierce typhoon in the philippines and victims include two families whose homes were buried by mud. dozens of villages are dealing

with severe flooding this morning. and typhoon parma, a week after another typhoon that killed almost 300 people and caused the worst flooding in manila in 40 years. . >> well, a mother whose infant was kidnapped by a knife wielding woman posing as an immigration agent is briefly reunited with her baby boy only to see him and her three other children put into state custody. tennessee's child services says the kids were taken from their mother, maria, purely for safety reasons. though they would not detail why the state deemed that the children were in danger, now, the kidnapper is in police custody this morning. a court date tomorrow for michael barrett,the man accused of secretly videotaping espn side line reporteren andrews in her hotel room. the judge will decide whether he'll get bail or remain behind bars. barrett is a divorced insurance company, and talking

take a look at the weather maps, guys, we've got a cool start to the west, cool and snowy in fact, across much of the west and not that bad across the immediate eastern seaboard. take a look at satellite radar picture, we've got some rain across the south and in fact, as you move forward, areas of the south, some this have is moisture from what was thunderstorm olaf. kind of getting pulled into the subtropical jet here and we'll keep things active for lot of the week across texas and eventually towards areas of the deep south and the southeast and that's good news for texas, not so good news in areas like atlanta, are we going to be talking about some pretty significant rain. as we move forward we still have the upper level disturbance in across areas of the great lakes and that's going to continue to kind of plague the area today and tomorrow and unsettled. but across the eastern seaboard today things will be looking better than today and yesterday warmer. across the areas of the west, that's where we've got the snow. big powerful winter type storm pulling in and some of the snow levels are going to be dropping to around 4,000 feet

and some snowfall totals are going to be up to around two to four feet. so, a pretty big, significant early season storm. temperatures-wise, for the country today, things still around 15 degrees below your averages across the areas of the far northern plains. very comfortable down across the immediate gulf coast and for your day tomorrow, we'll cool out, cool down farther across areas of the west and that storm digs in and we'll see this storm move across the eastern seaboard by say, tuesday into wednesday. all right, dave, you know, it's so exciting when it comes time for after the show in the office. it seems like it always includes a bloody mary. and you've got the best ones ever for us? >> an and it seems like you rarely wait until the show is over. 7:37 eastern time. thank you, rick. >> darn it. >> glad to see you've got an early start, talking bloody marys, an oldie, but goody. the past week the iconic drink exacerbated its 75th birthday, happy bert day, bloody mary, still looking good, isn't it?

gavin, a bartender at king cole bar. making the cocktail since 1934? >> yes. >> but the key here is you guys call it the red snapper. >> yes, we do. >> why? >> well, the term bloody mary was not considered elegant enough for an establishment such as the st. regis back in 1934 so we changed it and the red snapper hasn't quite stuck, commonly referred to as the bloody mary, it's in our establishment, it's the red snapper. >> you class up the joint. >> yeah, we do. >> you're giving credit for inventing the bloody mary, red snapper whatever you call it. it's disputed. >> it is, but if you look up your sources, goes back to bartender in 1934, he worked at hair i's new york bar in paris, a gentleman, a russian aristocrat invited him to work at st. regis and liked the bartender and the drink, and he perfected it.

>> he's a good man and so are you to show us the perfect bloody mary, why not get started? >> absolutely. >> it's 7:38. >> absolutely, we'll mix one fresh off the bat for you. so we'll do it with the regular ingredients. going to do a shaker cup filled with ice here. >> quickly, you do them one at a time. >> one at a time. >> you don't do the mix other on-- >> at work we do, just for volume purposes. >> right. >> we get a lot at a time, serving quite a bit this month so we'll mix it up pretty much on a daily basis and actually when it sits for maybe a day marinates. >> like lasagna after the second day, it's better. >> i recommend making them the night before. with ice, belvedere, two ounces, a strong drink. i'm sure that what's people in the fox studio would like. >> that's how reichmuth takes them. a sacramento tomato juice, fresh lemon juice, all righty, maybe an ounce of that. >> an ounce. a lot of lemon juice. our spices, our powdered

spices, celery salt, a pinch and a half, and black pepper here, about a pinch and a small pinch of white pepper here. after that we've got lee and perrins. >> just a cash of the wore chester. >> a few dashes, and how many alarms if we're a three alarm out after five there, a couple of squirts of there tobasco ap that's it. >> give it a shake. >> a little shake. >> now, my friend clayton morris and i are big fans of the bloody mary. >> yeah. >> we like a little horse radish in ours. how do you feel about that at the st. regis? >> the original recipe calls for no horse rad dish. i like horse radish, it adds something to it. some say if you like horse

radish, cocktail sauce. and we spoke about this earlier mth since i can't drirn in on air, you can sample and rick reichmuth is here, rick, did you try it? >> rick called it a field of thunder. >> it was tasty beverage. >> it's, it was good. >> that's what commercial breaks are for. >> we have the shirley temple version, his was a shirley temple. >> great, see you. >> take care and that's off camera. >> all right. well, gavin find him at the st. regis, you guys have a special bloody mary month there all october. >> absolutely. and mayor blood berg said it's bloody mary day in new york city and a huge list of 15 different bloody marys from 15 different chefs. >> 15 different bloody maris and clayton's dream come true. >> i put it on twitter asking

people the secret ingredient to make the perfect bloody. sometimes it's celery salt, sometimes-- >> old bay seasoning from maryland, old bay. >> mine, horse radish and i like the olives there. >> i have never seen dave about to tear up. >> i'm so happy. >> coming up on the show, risky drivers pay more for auto-- there you go, auto insurance, right? should the same principles apply when it comes to health care? is that the answer to reform? we are going to talk about that. >> dave doesn't think so, i do. plus, she just want today buy some cough syrup for her family, but a trip to the pharmacy land one grandmother behind bars. she'll tell us why she was punished and what she's doing now to clear her name.

>> all right. as you get into a car accident or even get a speeding ticket. your car insurance rate often increases.

so, should the same type of standard apply to your health insurance? >> let's ask the vice-president of insurance office of america, brad chance joins us live this morning. good morning to you, brad. >> good morning, guys. how is manhattan this morning? >> it is fantastic. >> good. >> we just had bloody marys. >> yeah, i noticed that, i'm a little jealous. >> made, that's right, demonstrated. alisyn and i got in a heated debate earlier in the week because you say if folks are healthy, they should pay less. if folks eat a healthier diet they should pay less than folks who don't eat a healthy diet. is that correct? >> you have to be with your health care, we have the basis we have the best health care system in the world and if you as an individual aren't going to take care of yourself. no one else can, you have to do it yourself from the beginning. >> that makes perfect, perfect sense, brad, but in terms of people engaging in riskier health practices, what is sorts of things are those and who would decide what the healthy and unhealthy diet?

>> that has to go back to your physician and that has to be a patient relationship with the physician. >> so. >> you go from there. if you don't follow your doctor's orders. how could you actually expect to have good health care. >> okay, there's a couple problems with this shall, i guess, one is if we acknowledge that we are going to pay more for insurance, if we eat unhealthy, smoke and high risk, why would anyone acknowledge that they smoke, heat unhealthy or that they have risky behaviors? >> well, you'd be misstating material fact and the coverage could be void. when you engage into a contract you have to be honest what you're doing and if an insured doesn't do that. they would be, you know, they could be held liable for it, that's their responsibility, you have to be honest and open up front what your activities are. >> just like life insurance, you have to be honest if you parachute. >> brad, i leak this idea because for those of us who don't smoke, why should we have to foot the higher bill, covering people who make the

decision to smoke? >> you're exactly right, alisyn. that's exactly what we're talking about here is those people who aren't engaged in being proactive about their health should not expect those of us who are engaged and being practical about our health to foot the bill for them. >> we can acknowledge that a fair amount of people get throat cancer, lung cancer, that never picked up a cigarette in their entire life. many thousands in this country. so who is to determine if you picking up a cigarette is the reason that you got cancer? what about those folks that just have chronic illnesses, that just have, for lack of a better term, really bad luck, really bad health? >> that's unfortunate. here with the hereditary disease you need to take steps along with your physician to take care of your problems and as long as you're doing those things you'll be able to show with your physician you're proactive about your health. if you're not proactive about your health you need to pay a higher premium. >> but, brad, dave does raise a good question. what if it's proven that say,

you carry the breast cancer gene and more likely that you will develop it than i remember neighbor, should you pay a higher premium? >> as long as i'm proactive about all steps to prohibit myself from actually incurring the disease. as long as, if i carry the gene that's one thing, but if i have the disease that's another, as long as i'm proactive and trying to take that care. preventive measures, you can't prevent every auto accident and speeding ticket, but what you can do is be proactive about that and take a good self-- it's your own health and wellness, you can't have someone else say do this. >> it sounds entirely subjective which i think could cause a bit after problem. one reason i agree with this, i think it would help if people could shop across the state lines and in a marketplace of sorts, like they do with car insurance. do you think that would help bring down premiums, i assume? >> absolutely. anytime you create competition in the marketplace you're going to lower rates. that's the bottom line in anything. be it media, making widgets,

health care, anything you can be involved in. >> why won't they allow that? >> insurance is regulated by 50 different states, no federal regulation, until you allow that. >> sorry to interrupt, brad, we're out of time. the vice-president of insurance office of america. thanks for coming on and introducing this concept to us that we hadn't considered before. it's certainly open for debate and i'll put it on the blog. thanks, brad. >> thank you very much. >> we'll debate this later, i'm not done with you. this is a fox news alert. united nations report shows iran has enough information to make a nuclear bomb right now. we'll have details after the break. >> plus, this woman landed behind bars for simply buying cough syrup. she'll tell us why and what she's doing to fight back. we'll be right with you next. e

>> we have a fox news alert for you right now because north korea's prime minister, kim young ill is now saying that north korea is open to bilateral and multi-lateral talks on its disputed nuclear weapons activities and the north's premier made the comments today during a visit with china's premierment we'll have more on this developing story as it comes into our news room, clayton. >> something must be in the water with the axis of evil leaders lately. thanks, aly. listen to the story, a trip to the pharmacy landed one indiana grandmother in jail. sally purchased cold medicine for her husband and then just seven days later picked up more medication for her daughter, an act that put her in violation of indiana's drug law. now, she's trying desperately to clear her name. she joins us today from indianapolis. sally, nice to see you this morning. welcome. >> thank you for having me. >> and this story blows me away and trying it wrap my head around it. you went into a store and

bought zyrtec d for your husband and a new days later brought some muse next d for your adult daughter helping out going to the pharmacy and then the police come knocking. what in the world happened and what law did you violate? >> there's a law in indiana that states that you cannot purchase more 3.0 grams of this medication, what's in this medication that they're using to make meth with and i had purchased 3.6 grams. and i had seven cop cars come to my husband at ten till six in the morning to arrest me and take me to jail. >> unbelievable and that's pseudoephedrine, as you point out one of the main ingredients in methamphetamines. i'll tell you the prosecutor when asked about this had this to say, it's simply enforcing the law as it was written. it's up to the customers to pay attention to their purchase amounts and to check medication labels.

if you take these products, you ought to know what's in them. sally, is he right and are we all expect today know every ingredient in the drugs we're buying off of the store shelves? >> first of all, let me say, you go in any pharmacy, there is no sign in there that says how many grams that you can purchase and cannot purchase. there is no box that has how many grams is in that box. so, you have to sit there and figure out how many milligrams or whatever is in that pill that takes to make a gram and i sure don't know. so, how can we-- how can we follow a law that we don't even know that-- and first of all, i didn't know the law existed until i got arrested. >> i'm sitting here, i have to admit i read hundreds of news stories a day and i've never heard of anything like this before. maybe my ignorance. you were also in prison and spent time in prison? >> no, i was-- i went to jail, but my husband bonded me out that morning, so i was fortunate not to have to

spent any time there, but i have the memories that i'll never get rid of. i'll have a record and if i've been asked if i've been arrested i have to say yes, i've been arrested and i'm a person that's never had a ticket, i've never been in trouble with the law and i want my name completely cleared and i want to change this law. i want this law fixed. i want to protect other innocent people. >> let me show you what the sheriff had to say upon your arrest because obviously, there were some press questions this morning. he says sometimes mistakes happen it's unfortunate, but for the good of everyone the law was put into effect. if she could go into one of the area hospitals and see a baby born to a meth addicted mother-- >> i presume that might change your mind. what do you say to the sheriff. >> i think that the meth situation is terrible and i agree with him. however, this law needs to be fixed because if they would have looked and seen, i had no criminal background, told them at the time of the arrest, the

pills were bought for medicinal purposes open and also, i have 28 of the 36 that i've purchased of mucinex, they're in the blister packs and open. the others have been taken only 14 of those. >> unbelievable. they took the medication from you. >> no, i have that-- >> and on the local newspaper headline 17 arrested in drug sweep with your mug shot right on the front page. sally, we hope you've been able to raise awareness about this and we hope air able to get your name cleared, thanks for joining us this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> absolutely, sally, thanks. coming up here on the show, unbelievable story in afghanistan overnight. eight u.s. troops killed there as president obama comes to a crossroads. what to do now. his changing options for changing course in that country and how will his decision impact the war is this that's coming up. plus, remember the wii fit i tried out last year? remember how we tried the original version and i put it to the 30-day challenge.

the biggest selling video game of last year. this is the wii fit plus, brand new game from nintendo and dave and i are going to challenge each other. he's already looking pitiful. >> this is hard, clayton. >> stick to real sports, buddy. >> this hits the stores today and i'm awful, i am awful, we'll debut this thing coming up. >> i'm sitting pretty.

>> good morning everyone. it's sunday, october 4th. we begin with a fox news alert for you. iran sets a date for weapons inspectors to visit its secret nuclear site after a stunning report is revealed find that go iran has enough information to produce a nuclear bomb right now. we will have a live report from washington with the latest details. . >> also, it's health overhaul drawing to a close on capitol hill. why some say it could be dead in the water while others say, not so fast. >> and he was fed up with the racoons getting into his garbage, but when he decide today scare them off he got more than he bargained for. >> by the time i-- >> oh, that's more than we bargained for. >> so much so it cause him to have a facial tick. we'll tell you how his thinking helped him survive a brutal bear attack. >> the slogan this morning from jack bender of new

hampshire, i love this show more than lucky charms and pancakes. >> lucky charms on tan cakes. >> live from the news crossroads of the world, this is "fox & friends." >> hi everybody, welcome to "fox & friends," thanks for joining us this sunday. i'm alisyn camerota here with clayton and dave. a lot to talk about, including designer babies. >> if you had the choice would you select certain traits, certain genes that would give your baby a better chance, perhaps eliminate things like breast cancer or could you even choose things like red hair, blond hair, choose the sex of your child? this is an option being given to parents for just $5,000 out there at some clinics in this country. >> i'd ask for james rosen hair. >> would you? >> that costs extra, extra two grand. >> speaking of james rosen, a bombshell story overnight the new york times reporting this morning that we're learning

more about this as we awaken this morning as the sun is coming up. several new developments on the program, the head of the nuclear watch dogs, inspectors will examine iran's nuclear facility the end of october and a new scary report that iran has the capability to produce a nuclear bomb. joining us. >> is the guy with the great hair, james rosen. >> good morning to you guys. and i hope you enjoy those lucky charms and pancakes. >> we do. >> sometime over the last year, nuclear experts with the u.n.'s international atomic energy agency or iaea drafted an internal report with the title, possible military dimensions of iran's nuclear program. excerpts from this report began showing up on various websites on september 17th and in today's new york times. it concludes that iran has, and i quote, sufficient information to be able to design and produce a workable nuclear weapon. iaea's draft report which has not been officially arfd for

release also concludes that iran has made major strides in a number of projects that can only be lying intention to build nuclear welcomes. now, these projects include high explosives testing and the redesign of a missile reentry vehicle so it can accommodate a nuclear warhead. iran of course maintains its uranium enrichment and only aimed at producing nuclear energy even as the regime admitted it has built a secret underground enrichment facilities near the holy central city. >> they expected them to take urgent and concrete steps to open up this facility and not only open it up, but also make sure that we were able to-- or that the iaea would be able to talk to some of the engineers. >> and indeed, that all appears set to happen in some measure and the iaea said the

top official announced in this morning, that inspectors will visit the underground site on october 25th. when they do, dave, clayton, alisyn, one suspects they will find being produced at that site something more than lucky charms and pancakes. >> sadly, yes. >> hard to imagine, james. >> probably, too. >> exciting for the inspectors especially if they're hungry. >> james rosen, great to see you. >> thanks. other headlines, let me tell what you is is happening, former pakistan president musharaff says that the u.s. and pakistan were close to capturing osama bin laden in 2005. musharaff says they were closing in on the interror leader when the intelligence trail suddenly went cold and musharaff calls it a both american and pakistan intelligence. britain is about to let more than two dozen high risk terrorists walk free. many terrorists had their sentences reduced after a british judge ruled that holding them in prison for

long periods of time could inflame rather than deter extremism. many terrorists are scheduled to be released next year and the british government is promising to supervise them once they're out. here in the u.s., big city police chiefs are now backing an anti-terrorism community watch program called i-watch. this in an effort to educate people about what behavior is truly suspicious and ought to be reported to police. critics say they'll fall back on racial profiling and others argue it could be helpful to fight, obviously, against terrorism. >> those are your headlines, let's look at the weather with rick. >> guys, and got some pepper stuck in my teeth from-- >> i hate when that happens. >> from your eggs. >> from the eggs. hey, here is your temperatures as you're waking thup morning. a big cold pocket as air across parts of the west and also the great lakes, areas to the south dealing with some warmer kind of more summer-like temperatures and kind of three different stories going on. one is down across the south. the subtropical jet from olaf

across the south. it looks like an el nene, it looks like a significant el nino this year and would be great news for much of california, arizona and across the south. you typically get more rain with a more active sub tropical jet, kind of the nerdy speak tore this. across areas of the north, feeling much more like fall already. this spin around the great lakes, big upper level low, barrier of cold air sitting here and keeping things cool. feeling very much like fall. kind of what you want to see if you want to live in those areas in time of year. and across the west, our first big winter type storm of the year, bringing heavy snow here across these areas of the north. if you head farther to the south of this. take a look at pictures. we have the fire going on right now. i believe we have live pictures, this from the san bernardino mountains in across southern california and i've got to tell you, southern california, not right now dealing with santa ana winds and that's what you can see this time of year, but these are not pictures or is not

really in effect of that. take a look at this though, extremely large and dangerous fires, this is affecting the community, i believe it's in the lidle creek area, right around san bernardino. and areas of california are so dry, any kind of winds that we see there are going to be causing potentially some very significant fires this year and as we're headed into the santa ana fire season, that does not bode well with the drought. hopefully it will bring more moisture, but i think you guys we are going to be seeing a lot more pictures like this as we move forward the next month to two months. >> thanks. >> you bet. >> interesting op-ed piece this morning in the new york times about this mess in afghanistan and the way forward in that country and interesting because it was ten people who contributed to this op-ed piece. on the ten possible steps to get through in afghanistan to actually get some closure there. and an end game and get out of that country. >> right, they got some of the best military minds, some of the best political mind and gathered them up and said what is your one solution? the one that i like, i don't

know if we can get to this first, but it's end suicide attacks. there is a suggestion from robert page, professor of political science university of chicago how to end the suicide attacks and the suggestion is empower the locals. if they feel more invested, feel they have more political clout. if they feel they have economic motivation, they can help their people not want to go and do these horrible suicide attacks. and we've seen this happen, by the way, when schools are erected in pakistan. we know we interviewed the great humanitarian greg morton here. you keep the taliban at bay when you get the locals involved in community building. >> if there's a common thread to all of these, it's easier said than done, if you recognize afghanistan one of the most improverished nations on the planet. doing that is not an easy task. >> of course. >> they suggest they don't like the occupation of their country by foreign troops, what does that mean, we withdraw?

and is that possibly going to be a path to success? >> you bring up a great point. >> i doubt it. >> one of the other points in this op-ed is reform or go home. this is a former advisor to general david petraeus and he says, now, the only counter insurgency in the country is only as good, if the government is good and therefore, you have corruption and you have a government that the people there don't even believe is on their side. therefore, none of this will ever take hold so you have to reform first, and then you can then build what you were talking about, building schools and trying to drive down suicide attacks. on ap on and on. >> well, i mean, i think ultimately this down to two questions the president has to answer. first, do what general mcchrystal wants and send 40,000 extra troops or pull back in some sense and before he gets into these in particular details, and you need to answer that question. i thought it was interesting that the taliban, these poppy farmers are not tacked in any way and they're talking about

that could be a path to suck success and gets the money from the people who get income from selling drugs. >> i've not heard that before. that's interesting. >> and the taliban has found a way to tax those people who beastically organizationed crime. >> and gretchen peters spent ate years ago and one of those i talked about with colonel david hunt. when they're making 40dz a yard for the poppy field instead of 40 cents from wheat or other crops, it's hard to tell a farmer not to make poppy. >> absolutely. >> sure, more on this, you can read the full article, interesting step by step strategy in the new york times op-ed today. >> are you guys doing more-- attempt to go get fit from the video again? >> i think so. last year, when nintendo rolled out the wii fit, right, this sort of changed video game interaction because for the first time you can actually work out instead of sitting on your couch like a slob and playing video games, you can actually be interactive with it and play it so i decided last year,

much to-- dave tried to throw me off the track with food and all kind of stuff. >> donuts were big. >> donuts. i did the 30-day wii fit challenge when i did 30 days, a walk down memory lane, take a look. my second week in my wii fit nets challenge and i got a little thrown off course this past week and blame dave briggs for that. he tried to get me to eat some donuts, which i did, some hamburgers, and some beer. so, now i've got a lot of work to do. let's get started. ♪ . >> good afternoon, glad to see you back again. ready to work out today? >> and the story ends with you what, did you lose? what? half a pound, i believe it was the conclusion. >> if it continued there you would have seen me actually boxing and doing the workout. >> did you lose weight? i did, much to rick's chagrin i did actually lose ten pounds by doing it and because the scale for the wii fit is actually a scale tmeasures your weight. so this year now the new wii

fit plus, it's out the sequel to the smash hit game. comes out today and going to be one of the big sellers. >> dave, what's the problem, we saw you attempt to go play. >> i'm not good is the problem. no, this is actually a good workout and i encourage their parents getting the kids do that if they're sitting around the couch. my four-year-old is playing the wii fit and gets up and active and learning coordination and golf and baseball, a tremendous thing, if you have your kids playing video games, might as well as have them work out. >> we're the first network to show it this morning and launches the wii fit plus today. dave and i have a challenge. >> you're going down. >> i can't wait to see that. in the meantime, the health care bill is moving forward through congress, but some are calling it dead in the water. others say it will be a huge victory for president obama. which one is it? we will ask dick morris next. >> plus, a man scares off a group of racoons, rummaging through the garbage and ends up in the fight of his life.

>> awas attacked by a bear, attacked by a bear and we could see the bear was at least 400 pounds. one of the scareiest moments of my life. >> the incredible story of survival straight ahead. nkicyi -lepufeou katn se

didn't cooperate. >> darn it. but get to talk to you anyway. >> it feels leak the early days of fox news, you know? like when you're old and didn't know much, but, yeah, don't worry about it. but the important thing is you bring the information, dick, and that's why they turned to you. >> and reading about the health care bill moving through the senate. currently two in the senate and three in the house. the baucus bill, they say there's progress, but don't know much about it. the things still undecided, the individual mandate, will employers be required to cover their employees. how they're going to pay for this thing. the public option in or out. what actually has been decided, dick? >> well, that nothing is decided until they get 60 votes for something or even 15 votes for something and really what are' about to watch here is kind after persian rug bazaar in which they're constantly swapping stuff in and swapping stuff out to get

the votes. the basic situation, fundamentally, is that right now if the bill were voted on this minute and the negotiations could be telescoped into an hour, it would probably pass. but it's picking-- but if it would pass it would be by the skin of its teeth as the tide is running out. if the public pressure ratch ratchets up the days and weeks, where the opposition to it gets a little stronger than it is right now. right now 56%, 41% support. gets into the 30's against the 60's which it probably, which it might in about three weeks, then this thing could be defeated. see, what's going on now is that the more obama-- the liberals in the democratic party want a bill with a high, a high number of uninsured covered, which means a very

large subsidy, and that means an extra budget deficit and maybe extra cuts in medicare. the conservatives among the democratic party want as inexpensive a bill as possible. low subsidies, even at the expense of fewer uninsured being covered. and also in this push-pull is the public option, the liberals want it, the conservatives don't. the problem is that all of these bills, all of these versions and all of these arguments have huge cuts in medicare. and really slice services to the elderly. since the elderly go to dick morris.com and young people are invited, too, i'll tell you how to fight this bill, because we need more pressure right now. . >> yeah, dick, the recent estimates from the cbo is 400 billion dollars in medicare cuts. if there's one swing vote, it's probably olympia snowe, the republican. we're about out of time in

this break. do you think she's on board? >> no, she's not yet and she's not the swing vote. she's the key to the democratic vote. >> sure. >> if she comes on board then a lot of the moderate democrats think they have at least some republican cover and they go with it. if she flakes off. there's a process of people coming offment, but the point i need to make is that this is a work in progress. over the next two weeks, if people from maine raise hell about this bill, she could be moved off it, which everybody's vote is in flux right now. >> in particular, the elderly. dick, you're back with us in just a moment and this is the information that we tune in to hear from you. coming up in a bit. senator john mccain on a new mission to make over the g.o.p. who he's recruiting and what will it mean for the future with the republican party. more with mr. morris after the break. boy or girl, blue eyes, brown eyes, more and more doctors and patients are creating designer babies. more on this story coming up.

>> well, since last year's election. senator john mccain has apparently been working behind the scenes to reshape the republican party. but in what direction is he likely to take it? >> yeah, we're back this morning with dick morris and now, aly says some of it behind the scenes, some of it public, he was out there in front trying to get curt schilling to take over for ted kennedy's seat in massachusetts. it seems that he is moving towards trying to create a moderate voice for the republican party. is this where the republican party needs to be in 2012? >> well, you know, i'm the

original guy who pushed the idea of try angulation, the idea of moving to the center and taking the best from each party and you will all of that when i worked for clinton, but there's a time and a place for that and this is not the time and it's not the place. right now, the republican party should paint its opposition to what obama is doing in bright and stark colors, in aggressive contrast. the energy source for the party is really the obama proposals. and it needs to plug into the wall to get that electricity. and moderate split the difference a little bit more of this, a little less that have isn't going to do it. if you want an illustration of the failures of that policy, look at the mccain campaign. he had this election in my judgment won when the stimulus package was presented to the congress and the house rejected it, the republicans rejected it back then and he suspended his campaign, moved to washington, and i felt sure he was going to take up the cause and oppose this and hang

800 billion of spending around obama's neck. instead he caved in like a cheap suit and he went along and said i'm going to go ahead with this bill and support the tarp stuff. undercut the republicans and cost him the presidency. there's a time for moderation and there's a time for opposition and contrast. right now, is the time for contrast and opposition. >> one of the things that this article in politico says that mccain is doing, he's serving basically as a political godfather to young up and coming republican candidates and he's sharing his network with them. interestingly, it doesn't mention, if he's doing anything for sarah palin. >> yeah, well, i'm not sure that-- i'm not sure that he would want to get involved in the presidential race. one of the real ironies you have here is that the two, two of the top candidates for the republican nomination, i think, are fatally flawed.

palin, because of her resignation, i think that that just showed it, an element of weakness that undermined support and i actually was one of the people who originally recommended palin for vice-president when mccain was considering it. i'm turned off by that and you can't have somebody for office that just quits and romney i think is in trouble because of his sponsorship bill in massachusetts that's almost identical to the one that obama is pushing in washington. so there's really the door open for a lot of new outside candidates running and of course, fox news's mike huckabee is up there in the numbers. >> yeah, one of the high straw polls resently taking and one advisor for the campaign said palin move would catastrophic for the party. >> i like the word catastrophic. >> dick morris, all right. >> one of the things i've read, need for spark opposition. >> got it.

>> and not moderation, that's another time. >> and there's your book, people go can go to dick morris.com. >> the frantic search for survivors in indonesia, the latest on rescue and recovery next. >> no god on the gridiron. an update on the community where bible verses are banned from high school football games.

>> welcome back. it's time for your shot of the morning. hundreds of hot air balloons colored the skies over albecurque, new mexico, part of the balloon festival. i've always wanted to go to this. my friend mitch goes every year and says how great it is. attracts balloons from 50 countries and most photographed in the world. i learned about the event because they have some of the best, i don't know, air pressure or best conditions for hot air balloons anywhere in the united states based on stuff from the mountains, up flow, maybe rick can speak to that. >> i would love to do that. >> i would love to do that, also. what a thrill that looks like. >> nks next year we'll all go. in the meantime let' talk about the new practice that some fertility clinics are doing around the country, which is, you test the embryos before they are implanted back into the woman to see if they have some sort of horrible disease. that's the best case scenario. >> right. >> that you can test the embryos for something like,

say, huntington's disease where the child would have a horrible quality of life and not grow up into adulthood, but of course, it is being abused. you can selectively choose your kid's hair color, eye color and the process is called dna micro, it costs $5,000 and doing it in new york and l.a. at a fertility clinic. would you do this? $5,000. so let's look on one side of the things you want-- you could avoid and look at things that you might desire. >> so on the avoid side, these are obviously some things you would want to avoid. >> alzheimer's. >> wait second, i already have an issue with this. >> you would choose not to have a child who may develop alzheimer's in their 80's? you could have a perfectly wonderful quality of life up until the end of your life and you don't really know you're going to develop alzheimer's even if you carry the gene for it. >> well, right, right. >> do not. >>, but the chance, obviously,

the chance is the real question. breast cancer, another one on the list. >> again, i have the same issue. >> well, breast cancer i think particular-- if we can get back to the breast cancer real quick, there's a person that did this process whose great grandfather, great-grandmother, and grandma had breast cancer, they had this gene, wouldn't you want to avoid it if both of your grandma and great grandma had breast cancer in their genes. >> look, if you have the choice, let's say this is a woman with four embryos that could be implanted. so you choose the two that don't have breast cancer gene. what if you only have one. air going to choose not to be a parent because at some point because your child may or may not develop breast cancer in her 40's or 50's? these are the questions about playing god that get very dicey. >> right. >> well, i mean, yeah, the real question though is, because so many parents now have to deal with this as they're going through all at the hospital and the doctors are required because they're

worried about being sued in malpractice litigation, they have to tell you the slightest chance that your child may-- there's like a less than 1% chance that your child may have autism and they have to let you know that slight small chance. and then they leave it up to you whether or not you want to do anything about that. which is a heart breaking thing to be put in. if you have the opportunity to avoid those decisions, i mean, and you-- >> i'm all for that. again, here is a thing that you might desire. the color of their hair shall the color of their eyes. their height, athleticism, even the singing ability. >> american idol. >> these things can be selected in your children and that's where you talk about playing god and frightening. for $5,000 would you do it, let us know. >> what is the gene for singing ability? i do not have it. >> i do not have it either. >> what bothers me more is the cost and therefore it's people who have a lot of money, who are the wealthy ones who get to pick and prevent diseases in their family.

$5,000, that's just starting. you go beyond that, but other families who can't afford that at all that's not in their ballpark. >> it's the scene from gatica, the movie about the future. >> our debate whether health insurance should be died to healthy habits. you pay lower premiums if you eat right, exercise, don't smoke, that stands that reason, right, dave. >> that's ridiculous, it's entirely subjective and who is going to decide that you eat healthy or that you have lower risk and who is going to admit that they eat unhealthy, that they smoke if in fact they know they are going to pay a greater percentage of insurance premiums. it's entirely too subjective and there are folks that develop things like lung cancer, throat cancer without having risk factors. >> yeah, like my family friend. a close family friend developed lung cancer, healthiest guy in the world.

basketball referee, never smoked a cigarette in his life. >> those things happen and obviously you have insurance to cover that, but the point is, do you want to pay for a smoker's health insurance, do you want your premium to go up because somebody chooses to smoke cigarettes and they will absolutely have more health issues. that's not true. we've known smokers that have eaten bacon every day that live to be 97 and healthy. >> no we don't. >> not everyone that smokes is going to die or develop life cancer. >> why do life insurance companies, actuaries, that crunch numbers on life spans and work for life insurance questions. smoking is number one on the list, cigar or cigarette smoking and jumped out of an airplane on a regular basis, skydiving they want to know that. >> sure. >> risky behavior is factored into your life insurance policy, your premiums are higher if you pay for life insurance. >> who is going to walk into an office say, yes, i smoke and who is going to

investigate. >> you have to tell the truth, or find out you're lying and get in trouble legally. if the same principle that the car insurance, dwi's you pay more. we had brad chance on, vice-president of the insurance office of america, he's in favor of this. let' hear what he had to say. >> you have to be proactive about your health care and we have to start with the basis that we have the best health care system in the world and you as an individual aren't going to take care of yourself. no one else can. >> that's a good point. let us know what you think, friends@foxnews.com. you can find us on twitter. >> i'm checking the blog. we should be able to shop for health insurance across state lines in a marketplace similar to auto insurance. that's a good idea. this thing about risk factors and healthy eaters and-- >> we'll see what the blog says. >> it's a good debate and meanwhile the headlines. dave and i are getting ready for the wii fit challenge. >> let me tell you what's happening, the death toll could potentially double after

two massive earthquakes struck indonesia. the search for survivors are so desperate some villagers are using their bare hands to try to reach people drapd beneath the rubble. more than 3,000 people are still missing. heavy rains are hammering search efforts for some of the rescue and search teams. right now, the death toll stands at 644 people. a top aid to north korean leader kim jong-il says his country is hope to bilateral talks on nuclear weapons program and the north korean premier made the announcement today during a visit from the china premier. the chinese premier is in pyongyang for a state visit. a clash of church and state at a georgia high school football game. they turned out for support for the cheerleader banners that showed bible versuses, no longer allowed. some say unconstitutional.

the school officials agreed with this and barred the christian expressions from the field. it's quite controversial. a florida man is speaking out about his daring escape after being attacked bye a 400 pound black bear in his own back yard. david andsler went outside with a golf club after hearing what he thought were racoons in his garbage, only to find a family of bears. >> i saw her white face and see her coming at me and time to tun around and take a step and stumbled and fell and she was on top of me. the only thing i could do was i kind of kept her off with my feet and trying it kind of get her off me with the golf club and she was clearly just trying to scare me because she backed up. hissing and growling at me and then, i got up and bolted into the house. >> objection, that's a good idea. how do you know when a bear is trying to scare you or eat you? i'm going to need to know. >> different types of hissing. >> miraculously he walked away with only scapes on his feet and legs and florida officials now set a trap in his orlando

neighborhood. dave, tell us about the sports. >> yeah, interesting. last night what a game. felt like 1980 college football. number eight oklahoma, number 17 miami at land shark stadium. and harris finding a wide open travis benjamin for the score and miami with an enormous win for the u. 21-20. it looks like oklahoma's national title hopes dashed and what a game in south bend. washington and notre dame go to overtime. the huskies down 7 and a desperation heave to good win. no soup for you. another thriller. 37-30, somehow, some way, notre dame continues to play survivor. and 400 yards passing. get a check with rick. >> did you pull that out of the local sports, dave. >> either that for boom goes the dynamite. waste going to check look at

the picks from last week, here are our standings. >> yeah, baby, yeah, baby! look at that. >> and clayton. >> yeah, took a risk. >> yeah, obviously didn't pay off. here is a look at the games for this week. up towards new england, baltimore new england, weather action is looking nice, temps into the upper 60's, no rain, maybe a little breezy and those were our picks on that game. the next game, chicago and detroit all of us are picking chicago. a gool day, temps into the lower 50's rieshths around cookoff time about noon and rain mostly gone. could be a stray shower, but not a problem. next game for us is houston and we will be talking about houston, all of us picking houston. hard for anybody to get a leg up on this one, guys, but this is probably a game where the roof is probably closed and probably seeing rain and thunderstorms in that area of texas right now seeing a lot of rain. towards the denver game. this is denver and dallas, guys, we're splitting on this one, what do you think, dave and alisyn, you guys are saying denver, of course you

are, dave. >> denver pretty terrible. >> i'm saying it because the blog told me to. >> oh, nice voice. >> thank you. >> thanks, rick, thanks alisyn. last year, i brought you the original wii fit challenge, lost ten pounds in just four weeks. >> and still there. >> this was me working out last year. i was doing all kinds of working out. boxing, running and a new version of the video game that promises to help you melt away some pounds with some brand new features, the follow-up to the smash hit. >> and there to tell us about the wii fit plus, david young from nintendo of america, good to see you. >> good morning, guys. >> welcome back. >> and this is a tremendous workout and you don't ever have to leave your living room. >> exactly. you know, the thing about wii fit plus, is really combines fun and fitness and with this new version that's coming out today, it even has more of that. not only new activities and new exercises, but you can customize your workout so you can string the activities together. get a really, get a nice burn going. >> we have one minute to get in here and try this out.

what game are we playing, dave and i take each other on. >> what we're playing is bird's eye bulls eye. >> the idea you're going to flap your arms like a bird and use your balance to land on these different platforms. here you go. >> leaning forward and you're getting towards the platform that says ten when you get above it stop flapping and land on the platform and get to the next one. >> dave was sweating earlier. >> and lean forward a little bit and back, back. >> oh, we're awful. >> the great thing about the fitness plus activities, too, it combines balance and aerobics. >> am i landing in the right spot. lean forward and stop flapping. >> i'm awful. a great workout and i can see how it tones the arm. >> go ahead and stop flapping and come down and you'll hit it. >> we're right on the-- i mean, this is close, david. >> this is close. >> that's good you've got the ten points and head to the new one and i think that's going to have to be continued.

>> where is my next target. >> stop to the left, dave. >> oh, no, i think i'm going down. >> the seagull will help, guys. >> okay, we will be right back and let now how this finished up. when we returned and oh, oh, it's-- >> you're flapping like birds. >> i think we are, at least we're not on national tv. >> yeah, right. and pains, ...and new questions about which pain reliever is right for your body. tylenol 8 hour works with your body, with one layer that dissolves quickly... ...one layer that lasts all day ...and no layers that irritate your stomach the way that ibuprofen can. it's tough on your body pain. not on your body.

>> the story we first told you about yesterday, there's word after possible second stimulus now. basically an extension of the housing credit cobra subsidies and unemployment insurance, but the white house is taking issue with the phrase "second stimulus". >> we're joined by fox political analyst and what americans really want really, frank luntz, hi, frank. >> hello, it's interesting that i did a survey for that book and two findings from it. number one, the american people's greatest frustration with washington is a lack of accountability and number two,

the issue that they want resolved more than anything else is ending wasteful washington spending and yet, the president looks like he's about to do both, that he's about to create a second stimulus without holding himself accountable for the fact that the first one has not succeeded. >> we've heard this, frank, referred to as a triage of sorts, and it sounds like well intended things here. first, extend the current $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit. second, extend the current 65% subsidy through the cobra insurance program, and finally, extend the full 79-week unemployment insurance package. people are sick of the word stimulus, but these are all well-intended programs, are they not? >> they are, but when you hear-- first off i'm a language person and try to focus on words that work. when you hear triage, you're thinking of something that happens high in the suburb. the american people don't know what it means. second, i'm going to give you

one other statistic. more people have been unemployed for 27 weeks or more than at anytime in three decades. it's over 5 million people, including some of your viewers. so, obviously, people are hurting out there. the question is, is more washington spending going to make a difference for those people? it's one of the reasons why president obama's approval ratings have dropped from the mid 60's, a hundred days ago, down to barely above ooh today. >> but, frank, that depends whether or not you consider it wasteful spending or useful spending and i think that when people hear the word stimulus, they think, oh, boy, a bridge somewhere, not in my neighborhood that's going to be constructed that has nothing to do with it, but when you hear that your neighbor is going to get more unemployment benefits, who isn't able to find a job, doesn't that-- isn't that a better sell with america? >> it's a better sell, but we're looking at the first stimulus package. at the budget. at health care, at cap and trade and i say this, particularly to democrats that

come from republican states. at a certain point, the american people say enough is enough. we can't afford it and that's what's happening right now. that there has to be a way for the-- for economic freedom for the private sector, for small businesses that create those jobs that haven't been created and washington can only do so much. i believe this is why the president's approval rating is falling, congress's approval rating is falling, the public has said no mas. . >> thank you for talking about this one of our favorite topics. >> thank you, frank. >> coming up, things you're afraid of can be a roadblock to success, four life changing keys to overcoming our fears and turning your life around. >> wait until you hear how this guy turned his life around, from being in prison and armed robbery. >> i'll stick around for that.

>> i tell you, this is going to be a good segment. time for fresh start. fear of undermining your goals. four life changing steps to make fear work for you. >> wally long hit rock bottom and spent 13 years behind bars and then a moment of clarity and he chronicles his journey in his new book, the upside of fear. how one man broke the cycle of prison, poverty and addiction, wally, great to have you here and it's hard to believe that

this guy is the same guy i read about in the book. your book begins with a bang, excuse the pun, of the night that you smoked crack and perpetrated an armed robbery and ended up going to prison. what were you doing back then? >> well, back in those days my life was pretty much governed by drugs, alcohol and a life of crime. and my story really is about the power of creative thought and personal responsibility and how it helped me, you know, transcend that 20 years of prison, poverty and addiction and how it can help anybody, you know, reach new levels of success in our life. >> there are so many people, i don't care if it's agoraphobi agoraphobics, who don't leave the house because of fear, but there are some people ruled by fear, ruled by anxiety. i can't do this, can't do that. you take us through four steps of your life. focus on what you want. >> i was afraid of going to jail, afraid of losing my son, homeless and broke and i

attracted all of those things into my life over 20 years. i was 32 years old. i was in prison and decided to make a change and realized that everything that i had feared i attracted and emmerson road we attract what we think about all day long and we attract that which we fear. when i attracted all the things i feared in my life and read the personal books, wayne dyer and others. >> the way for anybody who wants to do this, you start by writing them down? >> exactly. first, we get focused on what we want. we all know the power of focus, if we stay concentrated and focus on something we can typically achieve t second emotional commitment, reading it repeating it. i meditated on my list every day and night for seven years and i visualized what it would be to have that life. >> we know it works for athletes and we have the evidence in science to prove it does. step three, take action, consistent with the things you

desire. that's the hardest part. >> it is the hardest part. will rogers said even if you're on the right path you'll get run over if you just sit there. >> when i was in prison what i wanted among other things, be a great father to my son who i abandoned when i was three years old. i couldn't do much for seven years, be a father. i wrote him hundreds of letters over those seven years and that was my small step of taking consistent action with the things that i said that i wanted in the first two steps. >> and even when you're on the right path and even taking action, still there's obstacles in the road and you say take responsibility for them. what does that look like? >> well, the personal responsibility is the biggest step. i think for people in general, but especially for people with addiction and criminal life style problems and personal responsibility. bad things happen to good people. we went to the world trade center site, bad things happen to good people. incredible. but the reality to our success in life how we respond to

those things. >> it's the personal responsibility to respond in a positive way and i learned that from dr. steven covey, people who we had a chance to meet and endorse. >> you're living the dream now, a beautiful house in maui and one in colorado. >> yes. >> these are things you wrote down? >> yeah, i wrote down that i had a beautiful house in the mountains of colorado after reading wayne dyer and i began to think about maui and he writes about it. and i visualized a house in maui, have my sons and successful companies and it happened. >> can i borrow that same pen? >> i don't know if i can find it. >> wally long, the ""the upside of fear" a page turner. >> i wrote down i wanted breakfast. dave, what's coming up on the show? >> another late night comic back in the news, no, not that one. we'll tell you why the mayor of newark, new jersey is in a war of words with that man you

zoo see there, conan o'brien. the interns hard at work, get the interns hard at work, get back to work. captioned by closed captioning services, inc.

>> welcome to the big morning show, i'm clayton morris, alisyn camerota and dave briggs, my rival. we're two national leagues squaring off the philadelphia phillies against my colorado rockies and the special 4th of july uusa themed hats and we're wondering, we ask for your help. what should the warrening be, in my rockies beat his phillies how should we appropriately embarrass clayton morris, it's hard to do that. >> i have no shame. >> that's right. >> we have a lot of people weighing in saying they're going to dress up as each other's mascots and one person writing, you're going to have to buy me bloody marys for a whole year, i love that idea. >> no, that's a bad idea. >> or vice versa. >> whoever loses should take the other two of us out to dinner. >> i see how you work this in. >> i knew there would be a way she would benefit. >> keep that in mind. >> we're talking about a new

poll, parent aren't feeling optimistic about their children's future because of the government spending, they think that their children will not be better off than they are. i think this might be the first generation in a long time. >> right. >> that doesn't think that their children will be more prosperous or secure than they are. we'll tell, but that? >> and is it that the children feel they will not be better off than their parents as well, does it work both ways? >> i'm not sure. nobody polled my four-year-old, but may soon. >> i was thinking the 15, 16 year olds and perhaps the 20 year olds. >> the four-year-olds are bad in focus groups. >> a hard time seeing their future. >> several new developments in iran this morning, iran's nuclear program unfolding overnight. we're learning more details now about, from the u.n. the watch dog group there with the u.n. announced that inspectors will examine iran's recently revealed secret nuclear facility at the end of the october and meanwhile, we're learning about a scary new report that says iran has the

capability to produce a nuclear bomb right now. >> fox's own james rosen is live in washington with the latest details. good morning once again, james. >> dave, clayton alisyn, good morning to you, possible military dimensions of iran's nuclear program, the title of this draft report compiled by experts at the u.n. atomic energy agency. iaea. the head that have agency,el dar bay is in iran and announced plans for agency inspectors to visit that underground uranium enrichment site near the holy city that iran kept secret until just last week. and the disclosure of that site is more evidence that led the iaea experts to conclude that, iran had sufficient information to design and produce a workable nuclear weapon and the report cites among other things, iran's work on high explosives testing and redesign of a missile reentry vehicle so it can

accommodate a nuclear warhead. iranian negotiators met last week with leadners geneva, with states, germany, european union and once again insisted its nuclear program is purely for civilian energy purposes although the latest talks produced iran's agreement to allow inspection of the secret site. the obama administration remains wary of any effort at stalling by tehran. >> as the president said pretty clearly yesterday, if this gets to the point where we feel like the iranians are simply doing this to talk for talk's sake then we'll move to the next step. >> what else press secretary robert gibbs speaking aboard air force one. that next step would mean another bid by the u.s. at the security council to get tough economic sanctions against iran. but the russians and chinese who have veto power voted against sanctions, because both enjoy close economic ties with iran.

one thing i learned from watching the show before my segment. dave briggs enjoys close ties with the interns on the show. that can't be healthy. >> caught on tape, james. we have the video to prove it. >> well, i know where to draw the line. that is clear. there's no letterman escapades here, james. >> thank you. >> thanks, james. >> we have someone just weigh in on our bet and say that you need to dress up as a super hero that you would hate that. >> right, whereas clayton does that nightly. that's not going to work for him. >> your p j's are spider-man. >> and they're footsie. in the meantime, here are the headlines this hour, the battle in afghanistan has left eight u.s. soldiers dead overnight and as many as seven afghan troops were also killed in an attack in eastern afghanistan. this is called one of the fiercest battles in the region in recent years and brings the total number of u.s. deaths in afghanistan this year, to 229. and that compares to 155 all of last year. this, as commanders say that

american and afghan forces have, quote, inflicted heavy enemy casualties, end quote, during an attack by militants near the pakistan border. dozens of military servicemen and civilians are joining together to help the victims of that tsunami in samoa. gathering at hickham air force base in hawaii to package and bundle relief supplies to the region. meanwhile, dozens of distraught relatives agreed to let samoan government pay for victim's funeral funerals. the victims buried in mass graves following a memorial service on thursday. wind are fueling a fierce fire burning northeast of san bernardino, california. the flames are coursing some residents to flee the area. look at this video. so far, no injuries are reported. the fire has burned about 1500 acres and is only 5% contained this morning. meanwhile, another fire is burping in williams, arizona, that's known as the gateway to the grand canyon. ironically, that fire began as a controlled burn aimed at protecting the city from

wildfires. more than 60 homes have been evacuated so far and air tankers are helping firefighters push back the flames. rick reichmuth is standing by with a look at the weather out there. >> the gateway to the grand canyon, that's where you can get on the train to go from williams up to the grand canyon there. much of the southwest is dealing with drought. weather conditions aren't that bad for the wires. wind aren't that bad and humidity right now, relative humidity pretty high typical for the morning hours, that will go down in the afternoon, but we're not talking right now about a santa ana wind event. the problem across especially southern california things are so dry until we get the rain. which will happen this winter, the rainy season about a month from now. hopefully a good one especially with el nino, conditions are so dry, any kind of wind can spark the fires quickly. temperatures today not that bad. really, 60's and 70's for this. i don't think we'll be seeing this fire explode across that areament rain across much of the southern tier of the country. this is a very active

sub-tropical jet pulling in moisture from olaf. and heavy rain across texas which is exactly where we need it, but getting a little too much of it. we've seen some areas around five inches during the overnight hours around san antonio and flash flood warnings for the city of san antonio. as you're heading out this morning, certainly make to give yourself plenty of time and be careful. an upper level disturbance around the great lakes is keeping things cool and unsettled and we'll see some showers especially around the great lakes eastern seaboard today, warming up and drying out nicely. then turn our attention to the west, a big winter storm, the first of the year, maybe. and seeing the most of this around two to four feet of snow, but eight inches in areas like billings and in nevada, husband this somebody tweet me and say you never talk about elko in nevada. nong i've ever mention it had before. northeast nevada, high mountains. >> now you mentioned it three times. >> how is that?

am i up? >> that's your quota. >> got my quota for the year. >> that ain't going to happen for a long time again. >> thanks, rick. let's talk about this today. it's been a bad week for late night comedians. conan hitting and falling his head and we all know what unfolded with david letterman this week. >> no. >> you don't? now, conan o'brien in a little bit of hot water with the mayor of newark for these remarks. take a listen to his joke. >> the mayor of newark, moij wants to set up a city wide program to improve newark's health. maybe a health program would include a bus ticket out of newark. >> oh, man as a jersey girl. >> get no respect. >> you're enraged by this. >> i'm enraged because newark is a hot bed of corruption. >> pollution. >> polluted and smells. >> industrial buildings. >> that's no reason to diss it like that. conan. >> it started a heck of a war on words-- a war of words between conan and

the mayor of newark, new jersey, who answered back to conan on this youtube video, take a listen. >> not only am i mayor of newark's largest city, but mayor of a city with one of the largest airports in the united states. now accord to go the powers invested in me by the people of newark, i'm putting you on the newark, new jersey, no-fly list. try jfk, buddy. >> i was telling you to me that looks like a bit after joke. i haven't seen that before. >> sure. but seems to me at first this was spun certainly in media reports he's, he's really upset with conan and really doesn't want him there and the mayor took to the street and asked the residents of newark about this and they were just as furious as anyone could possibly be. >> right. we don't take it lightly when you diss jersey and don't talk about our finer points. >> like your gardens. >> thank you. we're a garden spot and a beach spot, mind you, but in the meantime, conan has fired back and apparently he's put the

mayor on some no-fly list. >> i don't want to squabble like this, okay? i think we should settle this matter the way all men of honor do on television at 11:30. that's right, mayor, come on the tonight show and we can resolve our difference ins person. we're located five minutes from burbank airport in case you didn't know, you're now banned from (laughter) >> so, you know, i think conan has the upper hand here, 'cause he can still fly to jfk, into laguardia and he's a boston guy. >> i think you're right. if he disss new jersey he doesn't want to go there. not going on there a vacation and he can avoid newark airport. >> all the more reason to never have to worry about landing there. i want to see if it continues, funny stuff. >> interesting week in late night comics. >> people calling and keep weighing in on twitter about our bet here and people want to know if we're going to take each other on the wii fit challenge because we went to commercial. i pulled off a victory and a

small one and we'll take it on later in the show. >> first a stunning report from the united nations and iran, have sufficient information to produce a nuclear bomb. will israel now take matters in their hands? >> a mother gives up her adopted baby because she says she wasn't bonding with the baby. what are the legal ramifications, we'll take a closer look at that, too. ♪ ree r thevla wos inge o ats te dee s d foe t , ew cal thly% raeer swes ne llll ju caesac tuav thci usve n

recent unveiling of a secret uranium enrichment facility in israel -- israel face is a tough decision, should they take military action or wait for diplomacy? joining us in our special iran panel this morning is k. t. macfarland, assistant secretary of defense at the pentagon and jerome coursy, author of the new book, "why israel can't wait" and journalist less sa dektari, and we'll start with the news of the day, the iaea thinks iran now has sufficient information, all it needs to make a workable nuclear bomb. >> right. iran needs three things to have a workable nuclear weapon, and toen rich uranium, we caught them red handied with a second enrichment site andy a missile to deliver it and they've tested those, long, medium and short range missionl missiles and up until now we didn't know theyed that a blueprint and got a lot of it, from a.q. khan of

pakistan and now this u.n. says they are closer and are now months away, not years away. in the final stretch. >> alisyn: we know the iaea, the watchdog agency -- >> which is conservative and don't jump to conclusions. >> alisyn: good to know, because this is different than what the american intelligence officials have thought in the past and the iaea will go in october 25th, and it begs the question of what israel will do and how long will israel wait. >> israel does not want to go to a war, the top leadership in israel worked with me and i interviewed all the major leaders and, why israel can't wait, unless a demonstrative progress, real results, if iran is going to send the uranium to russia, to be enriched, why does iran need centrifuges and will iran drop them? we will see -- we have to see real progress otherwise, i expressed and why israeli can't wait, iran will just gain these

-- playing -- >> alisyn: you are a journalist, what do this people in iran say. >> i think the biggest consequence we would face is if we were to attack iran, we'd lose or biggest ally and that is 70 million iranians who are disenchanted by their government and the government of iran used the tactic, to use war to unite the people and solidify their own stance and the innocent 1980 when they went to war with iraq a year after the islamic revolution and that war ended up legitimizing their regime and the regime will do it again and they'll point at israel or any country that attacks them and say, look the world us against us and singling us out. >> that is who israel is waiting and trying to give it time and negotiations a little time, and will make their decision, but don't want to look like they are pre-empting and i think

netanyahu wakes up with different alarms every morning. >> alisyn: and the solution is for millions and millions of people who are dis in chanted to over the throw the mahmoud ahmadinejad jenning reregime, h is. >> that is a major factor in the equation and the chances of using that to overflow the regime now is a little -- we lost the chance. basically. but, i think that hand in hand with serious sanctions, diplomatic resolutions, hand in hand with the 70 million people we have to use that. that is what the administration has to understand. >> the crippling sanctions is important and shouldn't wait to see how negotiations go, put them out tomorrow. and -- >> the people of iran, prime minister netanyahu said the government in iran is not nearly as strong as we might assume, when you have thousands of people, in the streets of tehran, we should be supporting

a regime change from within. that is by far the best solution. why israel can't wait is all about only if the western world, united states, can't find the solution, in -- with sanctions, negotiations to get iran to stop making weapons. the final analysis, israel will defend itself, but israel is not enthusiastic about that. >> let's hope it never comes to that. k. c. macfarland and all of you thanks for coming in. >> thank you. >> breaking news out of iran -- with our extra panel, you guys are sticking around and i'm leaving, actually! new developments in the casey anthony case, why her lawyers claimed the fbi botched the evidence and her murder charges should be dropped.

>> clayton: welcome back, fox and friends and we're back with this morning's special panel, on iran. and, guys i want to jump into this question, because, there is still concern this morning, that america may be getting hustled by iran. that is to say, in the first day of negotiations, we suddenly had these concessions. moving en reached uranium to a third-party -- enriched uranium to a third-party country and you speak a lot of the youth there in iran and as a downist there, there is a deep mistrust of that country, isn't there? and the real question, are we being hustled by them and can we trust them to do what they say they'll do. >> we actually -- you know, the name of the game here, is the regime is playing to delay and delay and delay and, you know, what is -- our administration, what is the message we are giving them? you know, we are turning a blind eye to children being beaten on the streets and allowing them to lie and cheat about nuclear ambitions and then invite them

to direct talks and give them time to hide the evidence. >> clayton: yes. >> if we are diplomatic we have to be diplomatic and if we safe sanctions we have to be serious about sanctions. >> clayton: and are we being duped. >> that's the problem and there will have to be substantive concessions from iran as, i pointed out if iran is going to have uranium enriched by russia, let's press iran to drop the sent fudges, and i wrote, why israel can't wait, the top leaders in israel don't want to go to war and cooperated with me to write the book and tell the story from the inside how dangerous the war will be and even more dangerous is a nuclear armed iran which is an existential threat to the survival of israel. >> i think they are playing out the clock and -- >> clayton: what is the end game, they are running out the clock and buying time, why? >> they do the north korean example which is they say, we are talking and they delay and delay and delay and to the point

where they say, oops we have nuclear weapons, we're now a nuclear iran and that launches a nuclear arms race in the moos and the alternative -- in the middle east and the alternative is we concluded iran is not doing its job or israel concludes and israel attacks and i think it will happen by the end of the year, early next year and israel attacks the iranian nuclear sites and that launches a bigger war in the middle east. >> clayton: you are projecting -- you guys are predicting an inevitable war. >> i think so, yes. >> very different than wanting it to happen. i think we're all in agreement, that a war is the worst possible solution here. but, the obama administration, this is going to be a major test, these negotiations because talking with iran, doesn't solve anything. >> and the problem is, the -- two weeks ago when he cancelled the missile shield in poland and the czech republic, that was his biggest bargaining chip with russia. and he did it as a good will gesture in hopes that russia would cooperate with us over iran and russia has not. >> clayton: everything -- nothing left in our back pocket. >> that is begging, negotiating

with that leverage is not negotiating, it is begging. >> chris: the internal support, before -- >> clayton: before iran would buy support, to drum up homegrown support and people of iran would say, yes, we spirit and now we'll back off, it seems, though there might be a shift there, that are a buying time for the same reasons. >> i think, i mean, regardless, buying time, to get something, after 30 years of islamic mullah regime and people are saying enough is enough and also need the support of the international community and the people are actually asking for sanctions and before, american or israeli flags would be burned on the street and now russian and chinese flags are burned on the streets and, we need approach russia and approach china and get more serious about really imposing crippling sanctions. >> clayton: great discussion on this topic, we'll keep our eyes on it. the tempest in the tea pot, k. c., doctor, and lisa, great to see you. >> thank you very much.

>> clayton: coming up, a mother gives up her adopted baby because she didn't bond with him and we'll talk about the ethics and legal consequences of reversing an adoption with judge jeannine pirro and first, wik rick has a look at the weather. >> rick: it is a spectacular day across the eastern seaboard, not the case down south, or the west, i'll tell you about that. coming up. stay with us.

>> alisyn: welcome back, everybody thanks for joining us this morning, i'm alisyn camerota along with dave briggs and clayton morris. >> dave: that's us! >> clayton: clayton morris, i love the end of the show we'll do the wii filter challenge a. >> alisyn: though it was not witnessed by actual eyes. >> clayton: they said, you went to commercial and we want to see it, a rematch. >> dave: more of that, stay tuned. >> alisyn: headlines for you, what is happening, this morning, because typhoon parma is heading towards taiwan after the philippines dodged a hit and it was expected to wreak havoc in manila and mudslides left 16 people dead in the fill teens and the typhoon struck a week after another typhoon hit there,

which killed almost 300 people and caused the worst flooding in manila in 40 years. look at the aftermath and rick reichmuth has a look at today's weather. what is up. >> rick: i want to mention the storm, skirted just to the north, great news for the philippines, but moving slowly, and they'll see more rain falling the next few days. okay. i'll change clears and clayton, does this mean anything to you? >> clayton: if i could see... oh! >> alisyn: oakland zoo. >> rick: no? he says it doesn't mean anything to him. she's hurt an wants you to seen it. >> clayton: panthers means a -- i get it. all right, i thought it was oakland, california and that doesn't mean anything to me. sorry. yes, the pit panthers, thanks, rick. >> rick: nice recovery. here's your temperatures, nice across the eastern seaboard, and nice down across the south and a little bit muggy and cold out west, look at satellite/radar picture, a couple of things going on, big system down across much of the south, will continue

to bring a lot of rain across areas of texas, by tomorrow, will move towards atlanta and keep in mind you had all the flooding in atlanta and you could see more flooding and causing more problems and san antonio area, heading off towards the north, a big upper level disturbance, has not wanted to budge and continues to keep things fall like in and around minnesota and towards upstate new york, showers on and off and coastal areas looking fine and now, out across the west, and that is where we have another system, pulling in, this is our first real big winter-type storm of the year. really dropping a lot of snow across areas of idaho, tonight into wyoming and montana and we'll see areas, 4 to 4 feet of snow across the higher elevations that and e cooler air from this, will dive farther towards southern california as well and towards arizona and drop the temperatures down the next few days. guys, back to you inside. >> alisyn: more headlines, because, former pakistan

president pervez musharaff says the u.s. and pakistan were close to capturing usama bin laden in 2005. and he says the troops were closing in on the terror leader when the intelligence trail went cold and he called it you a failure of both u.s. and pakistani intelligence and made these comments, following a speech in south dakota. and a mother whose infant was kidnapped by a knife-wielding woman posing as an immigration agent was briefly reunited with her baby boy. put, only to see him and her three other children, put into state custody. tennessee child services say the kids were taken from their mother, purely for safety reasons. though they would not detail why the state deemed they were in danger. and the kidnapper is now in police custody. a court date tomorrow for michael barrett. he is this man accused of secretly videotaping the sideline reporter erin andrews in her hotel room, a judge will decide whether he'll get bail or remain behind bars and barrett,

a divorce insurance company worker faces up to five years in prison on interstate stalking charges for allegedly using a cell phone camera to photograph andrews through peep holes at a pair of hotels. those are your headlines. >> clayton: she looks happy there. >> dave: part of this american dream is believing that your kids will have a better future and life than you had. so, why do 62% of americans now think the future is not brighter for their children. >> clayton: pollster scott rasmussen joins to us explain what in the world is behind these numbers. that's right this man deserves applause! [applause]. >> clayton: we're depressed by the numbers, so, tell us what is behind this. >> they are depressing numbers and the situation has been getting worse, the beginning of the year only 47% said, the children would not be better off than their parent and a couple things are going on and first we've had 21 straight months, of job losses in the country, and

when the job losses began, people said, we have been through this before in the long term things will turn around and we'll have a recession and now it is wearing on people a bit longer and this is a nation where half of all the households don't have any money left over, when they finish paying their bills at normal times and with the joblessness going on that is a problem and second issue, people are really frustrated, nobody is listening to them in washington, we -- voters overwhelmingly oppose bailouts, when they propose the bush administration, overwhelmingly opposed the take over of the auto companies and a series of other things and doesn't matter and washington had gone ahead and done what they thought was best and that sense that nobody is listening, coupled with nearly two years of job losses, really has dented faith in the american dream. >> alisyn: is this the first generation that thinks that their children will not be more prosperous or better off or have we seen it before. >> i wasn't polling when george washington was inaugurated and can't say it with any certainty. the number does go up and down,

and at different parts of time but this is something new, and again, i don't know what the turning pointed was, but it was consider the norm, until at least very recently. >> dave: something you expect, needless to say, the turnaround, we'd hope once the economy begins to bounce back and pull itself out of this recession one would hope. >> it will take you a long time to turn around. we know from all kinds of polling we do, when there is bad news, you know, the pessimism grows at one level, but, it takes a long time to rebuild confidence, and, this has been dragging on long enough and i would expect if we have one or two good jobs reports this number will not change and most americans will still continue to believe kids won't be better off and will take a year or two of good news to move the indicators back in a different direction. right now, we live in a country where only 49% of americans believe that in five years the economy is going to be stronger. >> clayton: given an obama administration conceivably that

might go eight years, he ran on the message of hope... is it possible that during the obama administration if it happens to go 8 years, that this number won't change and people won't really have hope? >> well, the number won't change dramatically, if he's in office for eight years and things begin to turn around right now, maybe towards the end of his second term, the numbers will begin to move a little better, back in 1992, bill clinton was elected, and we know that the recession technically ended just before he took office, but it took five or six years even back then before people felt good about the economy and yes, we're looking for a lengthy time when people are saying, things aren't so good in this nation, right now, nearly half of all americans say, not only is the economy in tough shape, it is still getting worse. >> dave: i'm in the minority. i'm -- i think the economy is going to be better in five years, scott and let's get the positive energy going. >> clayton: the difference between you and scott, he has numbers and you have your gut. >> dave: i have enthusiasm and

hope! >> and this is not, not an economist analysis, this is what the american people are feeling, and again, it is a deep sense of something is not quite working right and is a real frustration and we're at the point where people aren't sure that anybody who wants to work hard can get a job and that is another part of the american dream. >> clayton: hit the applause button regardless of the dower numbers, as always, great to see you. >> thank you. >> alisyn: i like your blind optimism, that's great. >> dave: you gotta believe. >> clayton: i'm there with you. >> alisyn: i, also. meanwhile we have new developments in the casey anthony case, why her lawyers say the murder charges against her should be dropped. that is next. tú@@ttp@@aaaaaaa@a@a

>> alisyn: here's a story that is sure into expire us also lynn

and roz rogers were hard working farmers and small business owners and found their home under siege when the government in zimbabwe ordered them to leave their land and they refused and like the american pioneers of the old west, they stood their ground with only a shotgun and their courage. >> clayton: joining us is their son, douglas rogers who chronicles his parents' story in his new book, "the last resort" nice to see you this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> clayton: you point out this is a very american story as well, right? we can learn so much about the resiliency of your parents in the, right. >> absolutely. they were, at a time in their lives, the year 2000, had a game farm and backpacker lodge throughout the 1990s and the year 2000, basically, they were under siege, and farmers came in -- from the government of mugabe, and at a time when they should be putting their feet out and playing golf and visiting their grandchildren, their lives

fell apart, they -- the country fell apart, but instead of giving up and instead of fleeing the country, as a lot of people did, and as someone like myself, i have left the country, already, my parents were made of strong stuff and said, no way, we'll stay. >> dave: what was the motivation and what kept them going. >> they see themselves as african. my father's family go back to africa, to the late 1600s. and, so 350 years in africa and said, well, the president is saying, we're not from -- we're british, foreigners and he says, no, we are african, we were born here and where we are from and we are not leaving. >> alisyn: and you said despite ominous and repeated threats they stood their ground and what they did, was they got a shotgun, and refused to leave, and, you say that this is -- in some way hasek chos of the american pioneering spirit and tell us what they exactly did. >> well, they are incredibly

innovate yive and came up with ideas all the time and one thing they started doing, my father decided to start growing the bush in front of the form, growing it wild so that when the government officials drove past and they would drive past and look for a farm to take and my father grew the bush so wild the house became invisible. and so he kept trying new tactics and innovative means and some point they need to earn money again because the tourism business collapsed. >> clayton: and things tender turn around and run a coffee roasting business, one of the few left in the country and as they came to the u.s. for the first time it's interesting to hear as they grew up african and come to the u.s. for the first time and were so overwhelmed and impressed with the patriotism of the country. tell us about that. >> my wife and my, my wife is from new jersey and we got married in 2005. and this is a time where zimbabwe has fallen apart and

they came and saw functioning states, and, where life worked and the electricity functioned and the roads were working and you could get fuel in the petrol station and just found it really inspiring, that -- -- to see flags flying in front yards, like at my wife's family in new jersey and the pated tip and said you should be lucky, to -- where you live, this is an incredible country. >> dave: that is the take away to remind americans to be proud and have that love of your country, and, to be patriotic. a good message. >> absolutely, yeah. >> clayton: the book is "the last resort" out now and go to amazon and pick it up. douglas rogers, thanks for coming in, great story. >> alisyn: this morning. meanwhile, this story, the decision to adopt a baby -- go on, get out of here, douglas! the decision to adopt a baby -- >> clayton: he left us. >> alisyn: a very unusual story, because, you don't hear this

often, and an unusual term and the mother decides she's not bonding with the child. we'll look at the potential ethical and legal ramifications when adoption goes wrong. that is next. nkicyi -lepufeou katn se erouca y s te ona tuhachup -b. moav mooi 's p of hde tuhachup -b. coet msas nsio moav mooi

>> welcome back! a bombshell, in the murder case of casey anthony, that could potentially get her off the hook. and -- in the murder of her three-year-old daughter, and the judge, jeanine pirro is here and i think she needs a hug. >> she was stuck in traffic three hours. get over here! >> it was a mess. >> dave: are you okay. >> hello, darling, yes, i am fine. >> clayton: you are fired up. that is good.

we like that. >> thank goodness you are here! >> yes, thank you. >> alisyn: the fbi botched the case. what do you know. >> you know, apparently there is no evidence that indicates that there is dna, hair, fibers, anything from casey anthony, at the crime scene where camy was found -- caylee was found and they say the murder charge should be dismissed and can't seek the death penalty and that is hogwash but what bothers me is the lab technician got her dna on the dna from the crime scene and makes everybody crazy and adds an unnecessary negative to the prosecution's case. >> clayton: the o.j. simpson case. >> and all you need is one juror who needs one iota of reasonable doubt but, nothing else has changed, do you really need her finger print and hair and fiber if there is no one else's on there? she was clean about it and clear and the other problem is, the duct tape used to wrap around her head and from her chin to her nose is not according to the fbi, now, the same duct tape found in the house, and it is similar, but not the same and we

don't know if that is the result of wear and tear in the -- and the weather and everything else but there is no, smoking gun here. >> dave: as far from making casey anthony in send. >> that is -- in send. >> and that is the pointed and look, there is nothing connecting our client to the crime scene here, at the end of the day she lied about this babysitter and didn't report her missing and was dancing and who wanted casey out of her life, caylee out of her life and it is all there. >> alisyn: all it takes is -- sith juries is to plant the seed of doubt. if there is nothing linking casey to the crime scene maybe that is the seed of doubt. >> exactly and that's why the case can be won or lost injury selection, you get one juror who watches csi and says, they don't have it. but, by the way if there is no one else's dna hair, or fiber there, the murderer was clear to make sure there was no evidence left and by the way, think about it, also, we prosecute cases where there are no bodies.

and where there are sir -- is circumstantial evidence and this is not a killer in any sense of the word to the prosecution's case. >> clayton: this other story is absolutely fascinating. we are learning about a mom, who, after 18 months, of having adopted a little baby boy, was trying to bond with the child and i don't know, of the ceremony and here's the mom, and, after 18 months, she couldn't bond with the child and so, instead of keeping the child decided to reverse the adoption and give the baby back up again and here's the quote from what she said. she said, look i never once considered the possibility that i would view an adopted child differently than my biological children and the realization i didn't feel for d the same way i felt for my own flesh and blood shook the foundations of who i thought i was. is it unprecedented. >> how naive when listen to the statement, to think a woman who has three children, hadn't thought about whether or not she would be able to bond with this adopted child. look, 1 30,000 kids are adopted

every year in the country and the agency has to screen them properly and the person has to be ready and the woman's husband is overseas most of the time and has three of her own children and blog and wrote articles about this and i worry about the octo mom frame of mind like, gee maybe i can get celebrity, if i do this. but at the end of the day, how do you say you can not bond or the baby was not bonding with me. the baby is under two, what this is baby going to say, i don't like her. >> dave: here's the problem, what is the alternative? a mother forced to keep a child she doesn't feel close to? you don't want that happening either. >> no question, you don't want that to happen but you also don't want kids going from the natural parents, or mother, at the very least to another parent to foster care and that is what we see problems with kids, they are not able to trust anyone. >> dave: sorry to interrupt but the kid was found on the side of the road in south america, wherever the child ends up will

be better off than it was on the side of the road in south america. >> right. right. but i think there is no question about that, but i think we think, if someone is with an adopted parent for 18 months you don't expect to be ripped out of that family, and then on to the next one, that's the problem. >> alisyn: when i read this in "the new york times," and i think it is a brutally honest, basically confessional by the woman and she said she had high hopes, she was ecstatic and couldn't wait to get the referral and over the course of months, couldn't believe it herself, but she was not feeling any feelings for the baby and she said the baby had a flat affect as many will if you are on the side of the road and having been in the orphanage and didn't expect that and you rarely hear this, and here is somebody being honest and it must happen. >> of course it does but my concern is this: what kind of screening was conducted here? the woman has three kids with a husband who is overseas, and, then, why is she taking on a fourth? and was she not understanding

this -- what will happen and she says when i grew up, i think she said in italy i loved the chaos of a big family and this and that and maybe it was more of an extended family in italy and maybe she wasn't seeing it with the realistic eyes of where she is in her own life and any way you look at it, it is a bad situation. >> clayton: what needs to change in the screening process, can anything? as they pointed out, she wanted the child, he was ecstatic about having a new child and seemed to be together, and what needs to change in the screening process from a legal perspective? is there one thing that stands out. >> i don't think there could be legislative changes, i think the agencies have to be extremely cautious about people, who are bloggers and write about the issues, and are they into it, is it a guinea pig, a scenario where, gee i'll be able to be famous on my blog because now i've adopted a child found on the side of the road in another country or someone who really has the ability to -- capacity and wherewithal to take care of

the baby. >> dave: one final word of casey anthony, if she's innocent of the murder charges is she free and out of jail, does she have other things she may go to jail for as in the child neglect and things or is she out. >> no, no. what will happen. >> chris: there is no way a judge will dismiss the charges, this case will go to trial without a doubt, and if the jar doesn't feel she murdered caylee the question is, did she neglect her, child abuse charges, in addition -- >> in addition to murder. >> yes. >> if in fact? >> alisyn: we are so glad you are here, despite all the trouble. >> i'm thrilled to be here with you guys. >> clayton: we'll get you the coffee and join us for the... jeanine pirro, great to see you. >> dave: we sit here for you. >> clayton: we'll have a rematch, i beat dave the first round and we went to commercial and there is no proof and we'll do it again at the end of the show and we'll see who wins and we'll get jeannine in heels on the platform. we'll be right back. it's what dt most for headaches.

>> we're back with the big competition you have been waiting for, to see clayton and dave for some reason -- flap their arms, on television. they are pretending they are birds. >> clayton: dave got a few second head start and everything comes back, karma, dave! the new wii fitted plus and i'll fall off. >> aren't you disqualified if you fall off of here. >> alisyn: dave, why are you going that direction. >> clayton: don't chime in, rick. >> alisyn: dave, did you
