about the solutions, we need to start ramping up growth industry production in the private sector. >> why the former governor says the administration is on "a sinking ship." yikes! >> right. six months in jail. john edwards said no to that. the disgraced politician's major roll of the dice and how it could all backfire. "fox & friends" is all fired up right now. >> good morning, everyone. hope you had a great weekend. here on this east coast, it was a beautiful summer kind of weekend where we felt like we were moving into summer, right? >> i say one thing, when it's that nice, i feel like i can't do enough. every minute i'm wasting and i'm not outside, i feel like my life is passing me by. >> speaking of things that are

sunny, was the administration trying to make what was going on in the economy and keep in mind unemployment is back up above 9%, 9.1%. manufacturing is in the toilet. but here's the good news -- the administration says we're no longer in the ditch. we're on the road. and we're hitting a few bumps. here's austin goulsby, the chief economist for the president. >> what you want to look at are what are the recent trends because one month is not a trend and the last six months we've added a million jobs in the economy. there is a plan. it has en working. we have been adding jobs significantly over the course of this year. we faced a stiff head wind and this was a tough month but i don't think that we should abandon the idea that what we need to do now is get the private sector stood up. >> i think he has a deeper voice than orson wells personally. there's something about him. what i was happy with, he brought up something quite interesting, he's calling on the

private sector to take over and give the economy a boost. why? because gretchen, is this administration out of bullets? the stimulus package, the financial reform, have they already played all of their cards? >> i kind of took it as blaming the private sector. why haven't you stepped up to the plate earlier to provide jobs and i think people in the private sector, people running private businesses would say because we feel like our arms are tied based on we don't know what's going to happen to taxes, etc. take a look at this chart right here, the unemployment rate is not helping the situation at all. remember, this is last year, but we just reported last week that it was back up, kicking back up to 9.1% and at this point, you know, what is austin goolsbee going to say? he has to say this one month situation is maybe a blip in the road. come on, the chief economist for the president of the united states cannot go on national television and say we're heading back down into a recession. he has to be optimistic about it. >> we thought we would add 175,000 jobs, we added 54,000. he said this is going to be a long recovery and he referred

back to that favorite it's bush's fault when he said we were just experiencing the worst downturn in all of our lifeti s lifetimes. >> indeed and the problem for the administration is right now, when you look at the stock market, it's gone down 5% off its highs a couple of weeks ago, a month ago, something like that and the housing market is once again going into the toilet, maybe a double dip recession there, few things don't feel good. nancy pelosi, the former speaker of the house was on the talk show yesterday and she actually defended the president saying it could have been a lot worse but he threw everything at it including the kitchen sink. >> if he hadn't taken the actions that he did, that the situation would be worse. he pulled us from the brink of a financial crisis, and now we have to dig out of a deep -- a deep debt and we have to also make it clear that we're not getting into this situation again.

>> how long can you continue to say that the hard hit recession of 2007 moving to 2008 is something they inherited. at what point, is it it become this administration's situation that we have to take full control for? and i think we're sort of teetering right now on the fact that it's their responsibility now and the policies that they've put into place to try to fix it. >> you know what, gretch, there was a great editorial by peggy noonan in "the wall street journal" over the weekend. >> from massapequa. >> go ahead. i deserve credit for that somehow. >> anyway, what she wrote is the president does have a lousy economy on his hands right now and it was lousy when he took over but he was able to make a bunch of decisions on which way to turn the ship. and she says the decisions he made got us where we are today and she says it comes down to four words. he made it worse. when you think about it, we had all of those different arsenal tools ain ben bernanke's toolbo,

we did what the president wanted. he made it worse according to peggy noonan. >> very relaxed. governor palin went on with chris wallace and looked at where the economy was and she had this assessment. >> really need to start talking about the solutions. we need to start ramping up growth industry, production in the private sector or this sinking ship that we are on will soon be drowning in debt and in additional economic problems. >> well, also, one of the questions -- remember when we had chris wallace on the show friday, he said are you going to ask sarah palin this particular question with regard that she went to new hampshire on the same day that mitt romney finally was announcing he was running for president in that same state she went up there and had a clam bake and the new hampshire newspaper but her clam bake on the front page and mitt romney's presidential announcement on page 3.

a lot of people thought maybe she did that deliberately to steal the thunder from mitt romney. chris wallace asked her that question and she sort of apologized. >> listen to this. sorry, this is romney first. >> i think she adds to the energy and passion around the campaign. i think it's a good thing. she's got a lot of followers, great enthusiasm. and when she speaks, people listen. that's a good thing for my party. >> she did say she'd apologize if she does. if she did upstage mitt romney, that wasn't her intent. she said to other people, maybe but not to mitt romney but the day before was key, steve, just to interrupt because she did take a shot at him about his health care plan. >> right. she said anything mandated by the government is a bad thing even though he's been talking about how it should be done at the state level. given the fact that mitt romney has gotten in -- by the way, rick santorum will get in the race a little later today. alec baldwin has apparently been tweeting. once again, the massapequa

thread running through this program and he said the guy that used to run the commonwealth of massachusetts has a good shot. he says unwarranted fair loathing of obama is sad, but real, romney has a plymouth rock last name and he goes on to say -- >> he went on to say that obama is still going to win. >> sure. he says this guy really has a shot. >> but he has the ken doll appeal that i lot of right wingers go for. he says if romney could overcome the hormone issue with the christian right, he could win. >> he wasn't suddenly endorsing mitt romney by any stretch of imagination. he said he thought he would have a good chance. >> a lot of you roll over in bed and you wonder, it's monday morning, what do i wear? to answer that question, you're on your own in terms of what you have to wear. >> let's talk a little bit about what -- why john edwards has decided to take this tact. we heard he was out for a plea deal and, in fact, it came down so close, apparently the

prosecutors said ok, here's the thing, you're either going to take six months in jail. >> maximum. >> maximum or, you know -- >> take your chances. >> that's what it came down to and he said ultimately, he did not want to lose his law license and he did not want to be away from the kids. that's why we're heading for a trial. >> he is a single parent and now with the children because, unfortunately, elizabeth edwards passed away six month ago. it was my understanding if he'd taken the deal, he would not be charged with the felony and be allowed to keep it, that's an important point. >> that was the last deal. >> that he would have to go to jail for six months. so now it appears that he's rolling the dice on that aspect. his lawyers were arguing about house arrest as opposed to doing jail time and apparently, that was not part of the deal. >> he has to show intent. if he knew he was violating election law, for example, if he

ran for office, i'd have an excellent case that i didn't know i was violating it. this guy is such a political veteran and a lawyer, how would he actually not have intent and how did he actually not knowing he was breaking the law. >> especially since they went to a couple of big donors and wound up under a million dollars to give to rielle hunter who she says, according to the local paper down there in north carolina yesterday, she still sees him all the time. he comes over and sees the kid, stuff like that. it sounds like when you listen to some of the prosecutors and some of the experts, it could be a tough case for the government to prove. stand by. >> now the rest of the headlines for a monday. in just a few hours from now, the former pennsylvania senator rick santorum expected to announce he's running for president. he'll be in iowa tomorrow and new hampshire on wednesday, two early battleground states where he's been struggling in the early polling. in april, he won the g.o.p. straw poll in south carolina but since then, he's been largely overshadowed by other republicans. it's one of the largest wildfires in arizona's history

and it's growing bigger by the minute. at this hour, the fire has scorched about 184,000 acres near the new mexico border. people are being forced from their homes. more than 2,000 firefighters trying to get everything under control. there's also another major wildfire burning in the southeastern part of the state. heavy security on both sides of the israel-syria border after some fierce clashing. you hundreds of palestinians tried to cross into israel on yesterday's anniversary of the six day war forcing israeli forces to open fire. 20 palestinians were killed. dozens more hurt. syrian police set up checkpoints near the border to stop protesters from trying to cross into israel. president obama's national security team contemplating troop reductions now in afghanistan. that would be much steeper than those discussed even just a few weeks ago, the team says the cost of war is now just too

high. these reductions are not favored by defense secretary robert gates. he is in afghanistan at this hour visiting several u.s. bases as part of his farewell tour, he is retiring at the end of this month. and those are your headlines. undoubtedly that would be a big debatable topic on capitol hill. >> absolutely. meanwhile at 11 minutes after the hour, look at this. three inflatable bouncing houses full of kids and the terrifying moments are caught on camera. >> 13 people hurt. we have an update on how they're doing including the woman that shot this video. >> that's right. >> then it's report card season all across america. how did president obama do on the economy? stuart varney acting as a principal. he's got the grades coming up next. >> uh-oh. i'm not sure i want him to be my teacher. i know how you grade, bud.

>> all right. it's june and the report card season already happened at my house. my kids are already done with school but we figured it's also time to give a few grades to the white house. uh-oh. new data shows unemployment now at 9.1% and average home prices falling to the lowest price since 2002. >> stuart varney, the host of "varney & company" on the fox business network joins us right now and stuart, you are daringly about to grade the president of the united states. >> that was an ominous introduction. yes, i am. >> let's start with jobs because it just ticked to 9.1%. >> i'm going to be harsh and give the president and his policies a d. unemployment was supposed to be

at 7% right now. it should never -- >> with the stimulus. >> with the stimulus. it should never have written above 8%, 8 1/2% with the stimulus. $800 billion. plus an extra 25% of federal spending and now we've got 13.9 million americans out of a job. 9.1%. i think that's a d. >> i hear that ronald reagan had the economy growing at above 7% when he was running for re-election and now this president recorded a 1.8% gdp. what do you grade it? >> if you want a gdp grade, i give him another d. you're quite right. ronald reagan this stage coming out of the great recession of 1979, 1980, 1981, the same stage of reagan' presidency we're going 6 1/2% a year at the same stage. president obama, coming out of that great recession of recently, we're only at 1.8%, maybe 2% so far. that's just -- that's a d grade. that's my opinion. >> unfortunately, they left me

with housing. because i was -- i was hoping for a little bit of a -- >> how could you possibly -- >> i'm just saying ok, you're giving him an f. >> giving him an f. >> she runs on hope, ok? >> hope and change, what can you say? >> look, the president's housing policies are a disasterous failure. we have home prices still falling three years after the peak and still falling. we're down about a third. tens of millions of americans have had their equity just wiped out. that's their principal store of wealth for most americans. it's been wiped out. you can't say anything other than an f. this is a failed policy. >> but stuart, you know, you're being too hard on him because austin goolsbee said yesterday we're hitting a few bumps on the road. you're giving a no road grade. >> austin goolsbee refused to appear on varney & company at 9:20 last friday right after we

got the numbers on the unemployment report, he would not appear. he went on competing networks but would not appear on my show. >> saddest thing about the housing situation is for the first time, most of the people who are being foreclosed on, it's because unemployment, not because they got into one of those arm loans. >> that's why he gets a d on the unemployment. a d on economic growth and in my opinion, an f on housing. >> we want to know what our viewers feel about your grades and also, how would you grade the president? do you agree with stuart or not? e-mail us, friends at "fox & friends" or you can tweet as well. >> see him at varney & company at 9:20 eastern time. >> howard dean no stranger to making predictions. >> south dakota and oregon and washington and michigan! and then we're going to washington, d.c. to take back the white house. >> yeah! how did that all work out, howie? now he's warning the president, sarah palin can beat you. is dean just trying to rally his

democratic base or does he think she can really beat him? >> and take a look at this, crews tranquilize a bear but oops, it gets stuck in the tree. what happens next is all caught on camera. >> what if he doesn't fall? >> oh, look at him. got -- oh! ♪ hello sunshine, sweet as you can be ♪ [ female announcer ] wake up to sweetness with honey nut cheerios cereal. kissed with real honey. and the 100% natural whole grain oats can help lower your cholesterol. you are so sweet to me. bee happy. bee healthy.

everyone. she's a force to be reckoned with and the democrats are scared of her and they should be. >> i guess, he was just doing a fairly warning to his g.o.p. friends? >> i think howard dean was simply acknowledging that it is a very long time until the november 2012 elections and as he well knows from experience, anything can happen between now and then. >> he can. that's true. and it can happen. is he also concerned that people are thinking that president obama is a shoo-in possibly in and the money is not flowing at the rate and this way they can put some strategists out there front and center and scare democrats into backing the president again. >> yes, that's twofold. i mean, that will drum up money certainly if the democrats feel that sarah palin can beat barack obama and she can and will if she gets the nomination. so it will raise money but twofold, it shows that he is scared and he does get it. he understands that politics, he understands that she sucks the air out of room and takes all

the attention from romney, rick santorum is announcing today and we're talking about sarah palin. every time she's around, she's a force to be reckoned with and sort of has a following like barack obama. she's similar in some ways and has that rock star status. >> on top of that, maybe it's to match up the democrats when they get together say that's a matchup that we want. let's build up and set up the opponent that we want to take on. is there a strategy behind that? >> that could be that, too. i feel kind of badly for dee tee and you guys right now in that the republican field is looking extraordinarily week. you have mitt romney as a supposed frontrunner who republican voters don't really like and don't particularly trust on the issues and you have sarah palin who they can't even trust to run. that's why there's room for someone like a herman cain who if it were a stronger field wouldn't be getting the time of day for us. >> feel sorry for all americans at 9.1% unemployment. at that pointed, if we have

that, probably anybody can beat barack obama including sarah palin. >> the other thing to keep in mind, too, is that when the president starts ramping up for opponents, he'll start building up certain other opponents that he can be successful against. that's an excellent chance. it's hard to believe that howard dean would be praising sarah palin in order to warn the president. it's hard to believe that howard dean is tapped in when he hasn't been tapped in for a number of years. >> he doesn't have to be tapped in. that's the thing. this time around, it's not the washington insider elites as we're on this segments. seriously with the tea party movement and it's a much different campaign this time around and howard dean, i think he's right. he's just reading what the general public feels. and, you know, remember sarah palin has a movie coming out, "undefeated" and also with the bus tour, she's got a lot going on. she's getting a lot of attention and will do very well. >> here's one thing about sarah palin. we're out of time. thanks for a good debate. laying the groundwork, finding

out what howard dean is thinking. >> thanks a lot. >> all right. next on the rundown, doctors on the edge of a new era. breakthrough drugs changing lives for millions of people with skin and breast cancer. you got to hear this. then, you're not going to like this story. some federal retirees are still collecting pensions and they're dead. they're in the grave. that's great. plus meet the debt slashing duo, married members of congress here live with their plan to fix the deficit one penny at a time. penny for their thoughts. well, $0.02 for their thoughts. i'm phil mickelson, pro golfer.

>> shot of the morning this morning. james tate made it to his high school prom after all. last month, james' band from the dance after posting an invitation to his date on the school wall, big one right there, see that? the 200,000 people petitioned on facebook and james ended up not only going to the prom, he was crowned co-king of the prom that he finally got to go even though the school officials said he couldn't because he put that big

invitation on the side of the building. >> good for him. and i hope he had a great night. anyway, let's talk a little bit about something that mike is a little steamed. we were all talking about thousahow this government needs more money, the u.s. government in general. they're releasing results of it showing federal pension payments are following a bunch of people to their graves many years after they have died. >> in 2009 alone, $72 billion wasted on the dead and given to relatives. you're supposed to get -- if you die, your spouse gets it, that's ok. your uncle, your aunt or your children aren't supposed to get it and people for years and years and years, at least months are still collecting. >> there's a story that they talk about in the washington times this morning about a guy who his mother and father were retiring from the federal government and they got pretty good pensions and he declined to tell the office of personnel management that his father had died. wound up getting $425,000 over

eight years. then eventually they did prosecute him and he wound up with one year and one day. extraordinarily, even though a lot of people do wind up getting money, you know, for their, you know, relatives beyond the grave, oftentimes, statute of limitations runs out and they don't wind up prosecuting them. >> yep. so that might be the big question today. why not? here's the response from the office of personnel management. fraud against the federal benefit program has real consequences and financial costs not only for federal employees but american taxpayers as well. here's the thing. you got to imagine there's fraud going on in every branch of the government. right? because every single day, we're reporting on stories like this and the coined answer always seems to be oh, you know what? it's kind of a petty crime. $170,000, really not that big of a deal. we don't have time to prosecute cases like this. that seems to me to be a copout because when you add up $170 to $495 to $55 over here, it's a

lot of wasted money. >> do a few, it will scare people into not doing it. grab a few and then the rest of the people will be going you know what? i'm not going to do it. i'm not going to collect on my mother or fathers or my nephew or nieces' pension because i don't want to go to jail because of it. >> at the same time, a lot of people who wind up getting the money, they feel, you know, i'm broke iech broke. i'm going to go ahead and continue to do it. they might tell social security but don't wind up following through to everybody and calling the office of personnel management. hence, the problem. the bigger problem. >> all right. 26 minutes before the top of the hour. here's what else is happening. >> start with the headlines with breaking news and a fox news alert. u.s. military says five american soldiers were killed today in central iraq. the pentagon is not saying how the soldiers were killed but there are reports camp victory was attacked by rockets. the names of the american casualties not being released yet. we will bring you more details as soon as they become available. >> ok, in just two hours from

now, testimony resumes in the casey anthony murder trial in orlando. on the stand, the guy who created highly sensitive scientific instruments that detective decomposition. they were used on the air and carpet samples in casey's car. she could face the death penalty if convicted. >> one woman still recovering from a skull fracture when flee inflatable bouncy houses went airborne. according to a witness, the single mother also suffered a broken vertebrae. it happened on new york's long island on saturday. high winds lifted this inflatable house into the air with kids inside and slammed it into the ground hurting 12 other people as well. don't they pound the stakes into the ground. >> i can't wait to find out when they do the interview a little bit later on with the woman who shot the video. >> two new miracle drugs can

reportedly prolong survival for patient who's have melanoma. according to a study in the "new england journal of medicine," the drugs can extend survival rates by months, even years. they're said to be the biggest breakthrough in the fight against skin cancer in more than 30 years. >> ok, hollywood golden girl reese witherspoon gets a little raunchy at the mtv movie awards. >> really the best [beep] in hollywood. ok? >> witherspoon and "twilight" star both jokingly exchange a few bad words. that didn't eclipse "twilight's" huge night. it swept the awards and leave it to bieber. he surprised the audience. he supposed to be a no show but dropped in to pick up his award for best jaw dropping moment. >> which was what? >> when he dropped his drawers.

>> thank you very much. >> let's take a look. widely scattered thunderstorms, as you can see, have moved out of the mid atlantic and currently, it is dry, according to the doppler right here, we have some widely scattered showers in portions of the northern great lakes back through the land of 10,000 lakes. out west, wheel bunch of showers from oregon to washington state through oregon and also california as well. as you head out the door on this monday morning, it's already warm across much of the country. it's currently 77 in new orleans and about the same for much of texas. 82 in phoenix. we'd expect that. later on today, it's going to be downright hot across portions of dixieland back through texas. it will be 100 later on today in dallas and el paso. about the same for phoenix. memphis and kansas city, mid to upper 90's. should hit 97 there on the banks of the missouri in kansas city and on the banks of the mississippi in memphis. 89 today in raleigh/durham.

that area, 80 in new york city. very pleasant today in caribou, maine. meanwhile, as we were talking about texas, take a look. thunderstorms in texas leaving heavy flooding in houston. this is home video from a damaged apartment complex. the storm bad enough to rip bricks off the building. no reports of any injuries so far. as many as 60,000 people reportedly lost power during the storms that moved through texas over the last couple of days. >> all right. speaking of texas, the heat is on. >> absolutely. they played on yesterday for most of the game. game three of the nba finals took place in dallas. heat looking to bounce back after blowing a huge lead in game two. this would go down to the wire and feature a big mavericks comeback. hit key shots in the final minutes but it would be -- in a moment, you'll see it. one of the trio, chris bosh open to the corner. he would hit the jumper that. would give miami the lead. have a chance to tie. here it is. the fadeaway which he hit

seat at the keynote a little later this morning. what's going to be unveiled? it's a bit of a mystery this time. usually i can stand up here and say we're going to see a new iphone and new ipad. this has been one of the most tight lipped conferences and events we've ever had. we do know they're going to be rolling out the new icloud service. what's this? a lot of speculation as to what exactly it is. is it the way we're going to listen to songs in the future? no more sticking our songs on the devices, maybe a netflix competitor where we could instantly stream things on our devices. >> what do you make of the fact that steve jobs is going to be there? he took his second medical leave and many people have been very concerned about his health. >> well, it just goes to show you how much he loves this company. we were all shook and surprised when he suddenly took the stage at the ipad 2 a few months ago and he said look, this is a product i've been working on for a couple of years. and i'm really excited to be here. they released a press release

last week so say he would be here to roll out the new software. most exciting part for this new software for me, that means i get to come to the house and help you set up your computer once again and you can buy me lunch. >> right. you want that dinner certificate again, right? >> every year, i get to do it. that's why i get so excited. >> thank goodness i have friends like you who know technology. >> gretchen, for gretchen, you're your own personal geek squad. >> exactly. >> that's a compliment for clayton. thanks so much, clayton, have fun out there. >> all right. >> straight ahead on this monday morning, nearly two dozen people dead after being infected with e-coli and the experts say it wasn't the cucumbers. find out what it was shortly. >> connie mack and mary bono mack are here. they're teaming up to cut the u.s. debt one penny at a time. >> come on in, guys.

>> welcome back. dangerously close to default as you know as republicans and democrats continue to play tug of war over raising the debt ceiling. former congressman connie mack and his wife, mary bono mack say they have the solution. good morning. >> thanks for having us. >> let's talk about the 1% solution. it is? >> amazing. imagine -- >> you like it. you're behind it? >> yeah, yeah, yes. imagine balancing the budget one penny at a time. so what we're talking about doing is taking 1% or one penny out of every federal dollar a year for six years. and at the end of seven years, we cap spending to 18% of gdp. balance the budget in eight years and in 10 years, we cut

$7.5 trillion and this is something -- >> wait a minute, by cutting a penny out of every dollar? >> absolutely. absolutely. so here's the beauty of this thing. everybody at home that is watching right now, they've had to take much more than 1 penny out of every dollar in their family budgets. and the federal government should be able to do the same thing. it's not a lot to ask. >> what does it do? and it doesn't -- in this particular idea, it doesn't specify you got to do it this way, this way, or this way. it says cut off a penny, right? >> right. it's connie's plan to tell you the truth. he hasn't convinced me to sign on yet. that's part of the reason he has me here. >> this could be trouble in the breakfast nook if his own wife hasn't signed on today. >> it's a plan but it's a good plan and he's out there talking about it and this is a good start. >> it is a start and we heard nancy pelosi yesterday on the cbs talk show talking about how the reason that democrats haven't come up with a plan yet is because the republicans are running the house.

but that's your problem. the democrats don't have a -- they haven't come forward with any plan yet. >> let's be clear about why they don't have a plan because their plan would be more taxes and more spending. that's been their plan since the very beginning. and they know that the american people have said enough is enough. we don't want to spend more. we don't want to tax more. we don't want more regulation and the only plan, the only budget that they can put forward would be one that would tax more and spend more. that's why they're not putting out a budget. they don't want to lose more members. >> right. so it -- so far, you have how many co-sponsors? >> i think we're at almost 25. >> working on 26. >> yeah, so here's the little deal that you asked a question, what we do is we say to the congress, the congress and the president have to work together to cut the 1%. if they fail, if the congress fails to act, there would be an across-the-board cut of 1% or the remainder of what the president hasn't been able to do.

>> gotcha. >> so it's the framework for cutting the 1%. it doesn't dictate how it will be cut. >> right. >> and that would be up to congress to figure out but just start a penny at a time. it seems like a good idea. good luck to you. >> thank you very much. >> see what happens. connie mack and mary bono mack, thank you very much for joining us live today. >> thank you so much. >> good to be here. >> straight ahead on this monday morning, he drove drunk and smashed his car. why is he allowed to sue the bar that served him the booze? what happened to personal accountability and responsibility? we've got both sides on tap coming up next.

>> some quick headlines now. it's not the cucumbers, german officials believe that bean sprouts caused the deadly e-coli

outbreak that killed 20 people. it reportedly came from this farm in germany that's now shut down. and a neighborhood in colorado with a bear of a problem. you got a 200 pound bear who climbed a tree. why? because he's showing off probably. and then took six tranquillizer darts to knock him out. the problem is the bear got stuck. it's called branches, four hours later, a wildlife officer climbed up and kicked the bear to the ground. he's safe and not answering any reporter questions. gretch? >> thanks a lot, brian. he drove drunk, he smashed his car. but now, a new jersey man is allowed to sue the bar to served him the booze thanks to the ruling by the state supreme court there. but isn't he ultimately responsible? here with both sides of this story, joshua cohen, a former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney and marcus rainer, executive director for the new jersey lawsuit reform alliance. good morning, gentlemen. >> good morning. >> let me start with you, josh. this guy has a bunch of drinks at this bar, goes out, has an

accident. charged with drunk driving and now wants to sue the bar. do you agree with that or not? >> not so shocking because the dram shop law that is officially a law that imposes liability on tavern owners allows for that. there is another piece of the law that was passed later on that said a drunk driver can't bring an action. however, that piece of the law only dealt with automobile insurance claims. not claims against tavern owners. >> so marcus, whose responsibility is it? is it every bartender in america is going to have to be sued or be responsible for something like this? >> the court got this spectacularly wrong when you think about it. where's the personal responsibility here? if you go to the bar and get in a car and put others and yourself at risk, you hold that responsibility. putting it back on the bars and restaurants is not the answer. >> what will it do to the cost of the drink? i think in my mind, if restaurants have to go out and get all this insurance in case this happens, does a beer suddenly go up to $15? >> theoretically, yes, you can

assume that the liability insurance is going to go up and bars that lose these cases will have to absorb these costs. every beer you want to buy will cost awes of us more. >> if you're representing this person as your client, does personal responsibility come into the equation? he admits obviously he was drunk. he's charged with drunk driving. why is it the restaurant's fault? >> it would be the restaurant's fault because there's a law, let's not forget, already in the books that said any establishment that serves somebody who is visibly intoxicated is responsible for those actions. and i think the answer that is this going to make drinks more expensive? no. bars already on notice with this law that's in place that they're going to be responsible when they serve people -- >> here's my question, isn't visibly intoxicated subjective? we all know to drive illegally with alcohol in your system doesn't mean you have to be stumbling drunk. i mean, let's face it. two drinks, most people are not falling over from that.

is that an unfair situation to put somebody in to have to be looking visually to see if somebody is drunk. >> absolutely not. if somebody is driving drunk and over the limit, the bar owner, if that person wasn't visibly intoxicated but legally intoxicated, it won't have liability under the dram shop law. there's not that big of a change in terms of the overall liability scheme. the question here is whether or not it's fair to let the person who was driving drunk also sue the bar that got them drunk and quite candidly, not that shocking. >> all right, very interesting debate. josh and marcus, thanks for your thoughts this morning. viewers, let us know what you think about that. e-mail us, friends at foxnews.com you know him from the o.j. simpson case but did you know that mark furman also advised the parents of casey anthony in florida? he'll be here with us live about what he knows about that case in third week now. another insider joining us, this one with exclusive info on the john edwards case. he's the lawyer for andrew

or honest mistake? did john edwards know the difference between campaign cash and hush money? the former aide who helped him hide the affair joins us live on this monday episode of "fox & friends." >> you're watching "fox & friends", the number one morning cable news show in america. >> thank you very much. >> david hunt. >> will pay very close attention as we get to the headlines. we have a fox news alert this morning. u.s. military says five american soldiers were killed today in central iraq. the pentagon is not saying how the soldiers were killed but there are reports that camp victory was attacked by rockets. the names of the american casualties not being released. president obama's national security team contemplating troop reductions now in afghanistan that would be much steeper than those discussed even a few weeks ago. the team says the cost of war is just too high. these reductions not favored by

defense secretary robert gates. he happens to be in afghanistan at this hour. he's visiting several u.s. bases and he's talking about the draw down plans as part of his farewell tour. >> the right balance and it's really -- it's really not so much about where you start but what the next year and a half to two years looks like. and i think we have to look at it strategically like that and not just focus on the front end of this and whatever number is announced in july. >> secretary gates is retiring at the end of the month. it's one of the largest wildfires in arizona's history and it's growing bigger by the minute. at this hour, the fire has scorched about 184,000 acres near the new mexico border. people being forced from their homes. more than 2,000 firefighters are trying to get everything under control. but there's also another major wildfire burning in the southeastern part of the state. well, this is a live picture right now outside the extra cozy

$14 million apartment of dominique strauss-khan. the former head of the international monetary fund is due back in court this morning. strauss-khan is expected to plead not guilty to sexually assaulting a maid in new york city. his lawyers are expected to argue police did not follow proper procedure when they yanked him off a plane and arrested him. right now, he's on house arrest after posting $6 million bail. at 11:00 eastern time this morning, former pennsylvania senator rick santorum is expected to officially announce that he's also running for president. he'll be in iowa tomorrow, new hampshire on wednesday. two early battleground states where he's been struggling in the early polling. in april, santorum actually won the g.o.p. straw poll in south carolina but since then, he's been largely overshadowed by other republicans in the race and those are your headlines. >> meanwhile, when it comes to politics right now, the thing that overshadows everything is the economy and we're going to talk to dana perino about that

topic this morning. >> when? >> right now as she joins us from our nation's capital. good morning to you. >> good morning. great to see you. >> you understand better than anybody else that sometimes the facts and the figures don't make the administration look positive. so what do you do when the facts and figures have to do with the american economy that we all feel and you are the financial spokesman for the country, for this administration and you're austin goolsbee and you come forward, how would you handle it? >> i would probably do something they didn't do yesterday. i think i would offer a lot more straight talk and not try to rewrite history, not try to provide some revisionist view of what the problem was or how they tried to solve it and i would speak very honestly about whether or not they have a plan right now to help us get out of it. >> so that's what you would recommend, let's see if they end up taking your advice. let's listen together. >> what you want to look at are what are the recent trends? because one month is not a trend. and the last six months we've added a million jobs in the

economy. there is a plan. it has been working. we have been adding jobs significantly over the course of this year. we faced a stiff head wind and this was a -- this was a tough month but i don't think that we should abandon the idea that what we need to do now is get the private sector stood up. >> if he hadn't taken the actions he did, that the situation would be worse. he pulled us from the brink of a financial crisis, an economic crisis and now we have to dig out of the deep -- out of a deep debt and we have to also make it clear that we're not getting to this situation again. >> so dana, some would say that maybe the president would think that another stimulus plan would be the answer. but that probably wouldn't fly with the american public or congress. >> i think their gut instinct and their ideology that they follow does lead them to believe that more government spending would actually help the economy. the problem for them is that people can add, 2 plus 2 and it equals the obama administration

and the policies that they've put in place. let's unpack what austin goolsbee said a little bit. he said last month was just a blip. ok, i hope that the june numbers when we get them in july, maybe he knows something we don't know but i doubt they're going to be spectacular. in addition, while he's right they have added some jobs over the last six months, remember that economic growth for the country had been revised down from a pretty anemic 3% to a 1.8%. and the markets are rattled. their situation is worse. and they're playing -- they have no plan to move forward. their plan right now is to demagogue the republicans' plan to actually try to do something about the debt. when nancy pelosi talks about the debt, it's like oh, really? where do you think it came from in the last three years? not that it didn't accumulate over the decades. in the last three years, they've doubled it. >> now, no longer they're using the imagery of the democrats. the republicans drove us into a

ditch. they're not doing that. they're talking about the bumps on the road. did you think it was a little awkward the president when he was talking to the jeep makers out in ohio, where he said, you know, something about there are a few bumps even hard for like a wrangler to handle. well, the people who make wranglers would like to think those wranglers could handle anything. >> as i read the transcript, he was booed at that moment and i thought, you know, there's probably somebody in the speechwriting office, maybe he's never driven before. maybe never had to have a car because they live in the city and he thought that would be a really funny joke but it's not funny when it's your -- it could have -- let me say, it could have been funny if the circumstances were different. but because people are rattled about the economy, they are nervous and so jokes like that don't necessarily go over very well. and also, one of the reasons they took out the car in the ditch analogy is because democratic pollster stan greenberg has told david axelrod that didn't work because, unfortunately, people still feel like they are in the ditch.

that president obama has not gotten the car out of the ditch. >> interesting. >> so they've dropped it and come up with a new metaphor now. >> we know he was at the chrysler plant to say you he bailed out car industry and the republicans wouldn't have done that. if these facts keep playing out in economy, how do you campaign with the figures working against you if you're president obama? >> i would say in the next week or so, they're going to hit their own reset button and come up with yet another thing. remember, brian, if you go back two weeks ago when president obama first decided to bail out the auto industry, he blamed president bush for it and i remember distinctly what president bush's team did is tell the transition team we'll leave open for you the option if you wanted to do this. you're talking through a terrible situation accide, a me you want to call it that. now he's taking the victory lap and "the wall street journal" op

ed gets rid of that notion. if i were the obama administration, they're thinking we need a revamp like they redid their budget after their budget came out, it was kind of lame. representative ryan put theirs out and they decided to retool and redo their budget. i would bet they have some sort of new economic plan to announce in the next three weeks. >> that will be interesting to wait for. there's been a lot of talk about who will actually join the republican field and try to become president in 2012. herman cain is one of the people who continues to say i'm the great choice but i may not be the traditionalist choice and maybe i don't sit well with the traditional g.o.p. people that have been around for a long period of time. let's hear what he has to say and i'm interested in your comments. >> many people in the mainstream like karl rove, charles krauthammer, i have great respect for them. they're working off the traditional model of great name i.d. before you start out, whole lot of money and you've held public office before. herman cain is just the reverse.

guess what's happening. the american people aren't looking at it from the traditional model. >> you think that's true this time around? >> i think that's true for some people. and i think there is a new model both from a tactical standpoint in terms of the new media that you can use but there still are fundamentals, you still have to raise a lot of money and have a good organization and have to be able to win those key states in order to cross the finish line. i think her man caman cain has messages, very enthusiastic and has a very strong following but i'm going to say you'll have to win the votes at the end of the day if you want those people to come along with you so rather than talk about those folks, i would rather hear a lot more about specifically what these candidates are going to propose to focus on economic growth and bring our country back to where we are creating and not getting rid of jobs. >> one thing specifically herman cain said yesterday, he predicted he will finish in the top three in iowa, new hampshire

and south carolina. if he does that, he has a shot. >> he's right and i think that right now, anything is possible. >> the last poll had him with 8% of the vote with romney first at 17%. he was basically not -- he wasn't on anybody's chart about a month ago. this shows tremendous progress that could result in more funds coming into that campaign. >> that's possible. you are going to need to make some money but there are a lot of ways that you campaign and get your message out now that don't cost a lot and that's through all the social media tools that people are taking advantage of and also getting in trouble for using. >> right. >> they are. >> i got that and one of the reasons why president obama was elected quite frankly because they knew how to use that part of the system. all right. >> conservatives have caught up on that at this point. >> always great to get your perspective. have a great week. see you next week. >> and follow dana on twitter, ok? dana has exciting tweets and they're often edgy. >> straight ahead, you know him from the o.j. simpson case. but did you know that mark fuhrman also advised the parents

of casey anthony? indeed, he'll be here live with what he knows next. >> and call her the duchess of leaks? fergie lets some royal secrets slip. i guess we should say in parenthesis, again?

>> one hour, 45 minutes from now, testimony will resume in the casey anthony murder trial in florida. on the stand, dr. voss, the guy who created the sensitive scientific instruments that detect body decomposition. his equipment used to hair and carpet samples in casey anthony's car. >> another exciting day. meanwhile, last week, casey's mother was questioned about statements she made to the media and to mark fuhrman.

listen. >> do you recall ever meeting a man by the name of mark fuhrman? >> i remember mr. fuhrman wanted to speak to us and offer any help that he could with his expertise as a detective. >> now, he's not a detective, though. is he? >> not currently -- not at that time he wasn't. >> did you tell mark fuhrman that you forgot to take the ladder down? >> no, sir, i did not. >> former lapd detective mark fuhrman joins us now. mark, anything wrong with that account? >> well, you know, cindy anthony is describing this, she's forgetting that she called the producer of greta's show and asked if i could talk to them after the show. and that's what we did. that lasted about 2 1/2 hours, three hours. george and cindy were both there

and during that exchange, i listened to a to the of statements about the previous 31 days before they discovered caylee was missing and then the last three weeks in the search for caylee and, of course, casey's situation. but the interesting part about this that kind of focused my attention was when they started describing the way that caylee was learning to swim and at a certain point when caylee was able to climb a ladder, they were obsessive about taking the ladder down when they were done swimming of which june 15th, they did go swimming with caylee, cindy did and then she put the ladder back alongside of the pool, took it down. it's an above ground pool. and when she made that notation that on the 17th she noticed that it was back up at the pool and nobody had gone swimming

that she knew of, i made note of that and i made sure that the police had already been told that. and they had. >> i know you talked to george and cindy anthony after the initial contact for three hours, something like that. you've looked at all the facts of this case. she did it, didn't she? >> well, you know, when i was sitting there talking to them, i'm going through this and i felt a lot of empathy for a family that wants to love a granddaughter and love a child. but ultimately, you know, george and cindy sat there and i listened to them and at a certain point, i said do you know your grandchild is dead and you know your daughter has something to do with it at some level or she knows something, and george just kind of sat there and just kind of nodded on the edge of tears and cindy did sob and was trying to speak but

she was just kind of, i guess, coming to grips with the balance of denial and reality. >> right. i watched you for an hour with geraldo last night. you don't believe she'll get the death penalty, do you? >> you know what, i think it was overfiled because i -- i feel that there's a lack of premeditation that's obvious. i think there is a lot of actions after the child died by whatever means much it's hard to have a premeditated case when you're at your parents house borrowing garbage bags and going across the street borrowing shovels from neighbors and riding around with a dead body in the trunk of your car trying to figure out what to do. i mean the premeditation kind of falls short for me. >> all right, mark fuhrman, thank you very much for joining us from idaho to tell us what you know. thank you, sir. >> in the middle of another major case. thanks, mark. straight ahead, the miracle on the hudson.

taking a plea deal. good morning, mr. jenison, the aide to andrew young. we heard him on friday after the indictment came down saying that he had no knowledge of any of this. isn't what this whole case hinges on? >> i suspect what it really hinges on is whether or not they can show that john edwards knew the sourcing of the money and knew that it was inappropriate for it to be funds that were substituting campaign funds which would otherwise have to be expended. >> you have a situation where $925,000, apparently most of it coming from a contributor named bunny melon. she gives this money, thinking it's going to the campaign and the allegation is that money went to cover up the affair that john edwards was having with his mistress rielle hunter specifically after he found out she was pregnant and about to give birth to their child together. how tough is it to prove that edwards knew? >> well, as i understand it,

there is going to be direct and circumstantial evidence that edwards not only knew the sourcing of the funds but understood the distinction between that which would be nominally a gift and that would in fact impact the campaign and the statute provides for exactly that kind of situation. auto >> some of the plea deals leaking out. one of the things that they did not like, he would have to serve six months in prison, do you know anything about that? >> i do not. it doesn't surprise me that the government would hold his feet to the fire because they've spent a lot of resources and time and it's a large case. i can't imagine that they'd spend two years and then quietly shake his hand and ask him to go off into the sunset. >> it's always about the cover-up and it's interesting to me in this case that john edwards worked so many millions himself. if he had used money of his own to cover up his affair with

israeli-syrian border. you have syrian police there blocking palestinian protesters from approaching the border after deadly clashes on sunday. at least 20 protesters were killed by israeli troops after they tried to illegally enter israel on the anniversary of the 1967 arab-israeli war. israel is also accusing syria of allowing the demonstrators to be shot to deflect attention away from anti-government protests against syria. >> jury selection starts today in the murder trial of accused serial killer anthony sole, the bodies of 11 women, five were buried in the backyard and others were dumped in various parts of his house in cleveland, ohio. he's accused of attacking other women who will be the 132 witnesses called to testify. sowell faces the death penalty

fonder. maybe not in that case. >> maybe not. >> 310 days. >> sometimes that's actually good for a couple. take a look across the eastern third of the united states. it is nice and dry right now, showers overnight in the carolinas. they have moved out to sea. widely scattered showers, however, as this monday morning starts out west in portions of california, oregon and washington state as well. the middle part of the country currently nice and dry and already warming up. look at that, out in kansas city, almost 80 already. mid to upper 70's as you continue from texas through the central portion of dixieland. right now, along the gulf coast, temperatures in the mid 70's. 76 in tampa. 78 currently in new orleans. the big easy. later on today, though, it's going to be a hot one. and with no showers in sight, it's going to be hot tonight as well. 100 in el paso and dallas. >> no sheets tonight? >> going to open up the windows and kick the sheets off. >> you do have curtains, right?

>> as a public service. >> yeah, shutters. only 91 today in tampa. mid to upper 80's across much of the mid atlantic up through the ohio valley but look at chicago today, 80 degrees -- 90, that is to say in chicago and 97 in kansas city. and that's a quick look at the weather grade card. >> if you're with us during the 6:00 eastern time hour today, we were talking about the economy and he became a teacher overnight because his job was to give the president a grade on how he's done with regard to housing and the economy, etc. then we asked you what you thought. what grade would you give the president in those categories? >> stuart, i hope you're paying attention much you wanted the results of this. >> hopefully he's watching right now before he does his show. >> first up in pennsylvania, e-mailed us and said the president's performance on the economy as a whole. my grade is a resounding f across the board.

>> he's a tougher grader than stu. let's go to jacob now and he says mr. varney is a little generous with president obama's grade, the fact is today compared with the day he took office and the unemployment rate is not even 1% better. >> then we had a couple of tweets. more than a couple. we chose a couple. obama on economy, f. foreign policy, f. domestic policy, f. vacations and golf, a plus! >> and here's the twitter from gdroberts1, stu is too kind. f across the board. >> that looks like one of the etrade kids we see in crib. >> we should point out that stu's official grades were job , d, gdp d and housing f. >> one of the reasons why the economy can't get up and running is there's a bunch of fraud going on with regard to government programs and the attitude has always been oh, well, it's only $170,000, so what? now people are paying closer

attention to some of these flaws in these programs because this government, oh, yeah, we're broke. there's a report that came out with regard to pension payment after people have died and apparently some family members aren't notifying the government the person is dead and they keep collecting the cash. >> it's cost us $72 billion in 2009 alone and $19 billion out of medicaid. you know how much trouble that's in. the fact that payments are continuing to federal employees after they're dead not surprising. shows you how screwed up the government is. >> glenn from alabama says for families of big government retirees to accept government crimes is a crime. actually that's right. they should be punished and required to repay the amount they receive. unfortunately, glenn, in many cases, the statute of limitations runs out and once that happens, you can't prosecute. >> i bet the people who are doing this knows exactly what the statute of limitations is. here's a tweet. i hear them say the fraud like this is just a drop in the

bucket. i think the bucket is overflowing now. >> i think it's comforting to know, this is another twitter, that -- comforting to know these are the same people who are going to be running health care. very true. >> keep those twitters and those tweets and the e-mails coming in. >> 23 minutes before the top of the hour. gary johnson may want to run for president but they told him to get lost. he's here to respond. they won't put him on tv. we will. >> he's been opening for taylor swift and rocking out with bob sieger. frankie ballard heats up the country charts and he'll be on our curvy couch moments away. >> the question of the day -- boy, i'm glad we got aflac huh.

music scene long but frankie ballard is quickly becoming a household name and he's now opening for music legend bob sieger and country star taylor swift. >> his new self-titled c.d. includes the hit, a bunch of girls. i'm pro that. good morning, frankie. >> oh, my goodness. >> what's that about? what's a bunch of girls about? >> well, it's about girls. >> that's a good place to start. why else did you go into music? >> do you have a particular girl in your life or was the song the way of trying to attract some of them? >> yeah, i was throwing out a little bait there. >> so far? >> it's doing good. >> got a bunch of girls. >> start playing guitar to attract the girls. >> is that how it is? >> that's why i started. sure. >> you and woody allen. ok, so you've been in the music industry for about a decade now. you get the call, bob sieger needs you down in new orleans but you have no way to get there overnight. so you call up a friend who just

so happens to have an old russian mig. a jet fighter and he gives you a lift. >> we're doing a "people" magazine was doing a photo shoot for the taylor swift tour and there was no way for us to wrap the photo shoot and for me to make it down to the bob sieger show and dog gone if i was going to cancel on bob sieger so i called and that was the only way we could get there. >> a russian fighter jet across america? >> i know, i'm glad we didn't get into any trouble. dogfights on the way down. >> you have an interesting landing. i was wondering if you got sick at all. if they did any, you know, harry caray kind of turns with you. >> on the way down, we took it easy. the weather was kind of bad. but we were about 500 feet from our final approach back into nashville the next day. and we're coming in and i noticed we were going a little fast and the landing gear is not down yet and just as i started to get a little suspicious, he calls -- he calls in and says it doesn't feel right and he jams the gas, and he go flying down

the runway and he does a barrel roll out of it and hooks around and just to give me a -- >> i almost ejected. i was ready. >> let's turn the page on bob sieger for a second and talk about taylor swift. >> i like that transition. >> you like that transition? i know. she's becoming a mega star. you have to go through her people or talk to you direct snl>> i'll tell you what, she's the biggest thing in music, you know, not just in country music. one of the sweetest people i've ever met. always around backstage. and her family, crew and everybody totally approachable and just awesome. >> where will the tour take you this summer with taylor swift? > >> we've gone to omaha, des moines, it's such an opportunity to be out there. >> what was it like when you got that call? if she's the biggest thing in show business right now. >> i kind of thought it was a prank. >> absolutely. >> wait a minute.

it was -- i was beside myself. it was incredible. >> do you think it's right she sings about men she breaks up with or that break up with her? >> she's just -- that's her thing and i tell you what, seeing all those girls that come out to the shows and her fans, i mean, they really relate to her music and what she's singing about and i mean, she's got a real captive audience. >> she's got a lot of girls which is the name of your album. >> yeah, so i'm really excited to play to a bunch of girls every night. >> one of the things about her, i think, is so far she's been able to keep it clean so, you know, younger girls and boys for that matter can go to her concerts. >> and the moms and dads are going. >> that's an important aspect of -- >> i'll buy you that record. >> does something happen in your life that you sang about that we can look forward in this album? did you get stuck in traffic and write about that? what tension did you think i'll alleviate some of the pressure and write a song about it. >> there's a song on the album called "sober me up" kind of a

metaphor about your life being crazy and, you know, being sort of out of control and needing a good woman, only thing to help keep your feet on the ground frpt that's one of my things. >> again, pro woman. he's won you over. >> i'm not arguing with anything he's said so far. >> and i'm pro bunch of girls. >> i love the fact that your c.d. cover, you are there in cockpit of your pickup truck. are you obligated to be in a pickup truck? >> did they surprise you with that? >> that's actually a mercury montclair. >> what? >> i had never heard of it either. it's an old sedan. it's really cool. it does kind of look like it. >> it sure does. >> deep yet earthy. taylor swift was on our program many, many years ago. tell her we said hi and she's invited back. >> she was 11. >> she was. >> wow. great to see you. >> all right. straight ahead, he's mulling over a run for the white house but cnn booted gary johnson from telling american people what he stands for. the former new mexico governor

gary johnson right here live in the studio next. yeah, he wants that house. >> but first, on this date in 1925, the chrysler motor company founded by william chrysler. in 1944, the allied forces launched the d-day invasion of normandy and the number one song on this day in 1990, one i still listen to frequently "vogue" by madonna. >> i was dancing to that this morning.

>> the answer to the question of the day, paul giamatti and the winner is matthew from

florida. congratulations. >> he was one of the first official g.o.p. candidates to throw his hat into the ring. despite that, former new mexico governor gary johnson has had a pretty low profile so far. >> does he have what it takes to hang with the bigger name stars? he's a guest with us right now. >> thanks for having me on. i have actually the first to announce. >> governor, how did it sit with you within a week of having the debate, cnn said you can't go. >> i didn't crawl out from under the rock to run for president of the united states. i've paid for everything i've had since i was 17 years old. i started a one man handyman business in 1974 and grew it to over 1,000 employees. i was the three term governor of new mexico. you know, my entire life i've stood in line. that gives me a perspective maybe that disqualifies me, i guess, for running for this office. >> their reason was because in any kind of poll they're looking

at, you're below the 2% threshold although, i guess you could argue there are other candidates also in that same sort of percentage that might actually be invited. >> well and some of those polls i wasn't even included. my name wasn't even on some of these polls. i think that overwhelmingly people in this country are saying that they're dissatisfied with the choices that are available. i'm going to argue that i'm that other choice but i got to have a shot at being able to present that and thank you both for having me on here this morning to be able to too thdo that. >> i was trying to find real quick, what al sharpton was pulling at and what dennis kucinich was pulling at when they were included in the huge huddle of democratic contenders seen on all the debates. >> include carter and dukakis meaning they were at this same percentage also at this point in time at their cycles. carter, kucinich, excuse me, carter, clinton, and -- >> dukakis.

>> had less than 2%. >> they're right in this range, you know, we're really parting hairs here. this is a decision being made that -- >> so if you were given the opportunity right now to be in that debate forum, how would you set yourself apart from the other people who are actually going to be in the debate? >> i would obviously let people make that -- make that deduction themselves. but i am an entrepreneur. i've been an entrepreneur my entire life. when it came to being governor of new mexico, i arguably vetoed more bills as governor of new mexico than the other 49 governors in country combined. i could lay claim to fiscally being the most conservative governor that served in the history of the country based on those vetoes much isn't that what we want? when it comes to civil liberties, i've really been outspoken. what is it that government should provide? i stood up to bigger government. i stood up to the notion that what's government spending its money on and what are we getting for the money that we're

spending? and maybe we don't need to spend this money. maybe it won't make a difference in people's lives but i actually live that. and then in the state that was 2-1 democrats, i get re-elected doing that. >> and you, of course, are vehemently against the afghanistan war. i assume you want to pull out right away. you're a fiscal conservative who supports gay marriage. here's the bigger question, do you look at the president as responsible at all for the current state of the economy? or anybody who is president will be struggling right now? >> you know, i look at this as really status quo. i think that we've elected this problem one senator, one congressperson, one president at a time. i think both parties share responsibility for where we've gotten to. republicans here just a few short years back get control of both houses of congress and the presidency and pass the prescription health care benefit which at that time was the largest entitlement program ever passed. that's not why i signed up to be a republican. so both parties share in this. >> where do you stand when you look at the republican field? because the way analysts are deducing it is you have the more

moderate republicans, i'm thinking of romney and giuliani potentially and you have some of the tea party backed republicans, bachmann, palin, etc. and then you have more libertarians, is that ron paul and you, too? >> certainly. the belief that less government is better government. the belief that the government best serves the individual by allowing the individual the freedom to be able to do what it is he or she wants to do and, of course, the personal responsibility that goes along with that. >> well, and in the big picture, too, to finish off in the debate, they're including people that said they weren't going to run. they sent invitations to bigger names, huckabee and giuliani. you've declared. it seems unfair. >> if either of you were to have served two terms as governor of new york and come to new mexico for a debate, i would like to think that you would be included in that debate if you were running for president of the united states. >> gary johnson, thank you so much. >> thank you both. >> coming up on the show, terrifying moments caught on camera. three inflatable bouncy houses

take flight. only problem is the kids were still inside. >> wow. next hour, one of the men who witnessed the accident is here. >> and he drove drunk and smashed his car. why is he allowed to sue the bar that served the booze? both sides to this story top of the hour.

same thing going forward? >> brian: she's only ten, but she's sure stole the show. ♪ and the rockets red glare ♪ the bombs bursting in air >> brian: wow. julia dale, fresh off her performance at the nba finals here to steal our show. by the way, "fox & friends" starts right now. >> brian: that's a big show. >> steve: we just had gary johnon on, running for president. in the last hour, rick santorum, who once upon a time was number three guy in the u.s. senate, sounded a lot like randy jackson when he said this moments ago. >> they got the stage set up and we're ready to announce that we're going to be in this x-rays

we're in it to win and we're very excited about what the future holds. >> steve: he's in it to win it. >> gretchen: he made it official moments ago. how many official now do we have on the gop side? >> brian: 109. everybody is in. >> gretchen: 109. i think it's maybe seven or eight at this point in time with probably a few more -- is it eight now? i think it is. >> brian: by the way, at the bottom of the hour, donald trump joins us and he indicates he could be in maybe at some point as a gop or independent. he certainly will weigh in on his new plan. >> gretchen: one of the things that will be top of mind for american voters coming up in 2012 and all candidates is the economy and where we stand. may was not a good month. did you know that in may, only 54,000 private sector jobs were added? and at the same time, unemployment, unfortunately, skirted back up to 9.1%. at the same time, the chief economic advisor for the obama administration went on the talk shows yesterday to try and down play the fact that we might be

headed more on the down slope again. >> what you want to look at are what are the recent trends because one month is not a trend. the last six months, we've added a million jobs in the economy. there is a plan. it has been working. we have been adding jobs significantly over the course of this year. we faced a stiff head wind and this was a tough month, but i don't think that we should abandon the idea that what we need to do now is get the private sector set up. >> brian: i don't think anyone is going to argue with getting the private sector stood up. how you get there is the key. i would love an answer to that. >> steve: keep in mind, it was a number of months ago, but the guy that runs the new york daily news, gulf coasterman, wrote on the especially ode portion that this administration has been the most antibusiness in his history. he said, it's going to take private sector to push the jobs.

that will be interesting. however, when we talked with dana perino, when the president was using the terminology that forget we're in the ditch, now there are a few bumps in the road. when he did that in front of the jeep make increase ohio, he actually got boo'd by all those union members. that's bad when you're getting boo'd by all those guys who voted for you. >> brian: here is the speaker of the house, just saying you don't understand -- former speaker of the house. you don't understand how much worse things could have been. >> if he hadn't taken the actions he did, that the situation would be worse. he pulled it from the brink of the financial crisis, from an economic crisis and now we have to dig out of the deep debt and we also make it clear we're not getting into the situation again. >> gretchen: the thing for me is that whenever we've had the economists sit on the couch, they have said, yes, we seem to be moving in the right direction, but the sticking point is always that the private sector is not hiring people.

you have to ask yourself why? why are they not hiring people? is it because health care is looming in the back of their mind? is it because taxes are looming in the back of their mind? if you own a private business, e-mail us. are you hiring? if you are, why? if not, why. if you are not, why? >> brian: is it regulations, is it health care? fear of the unknown? is it that the republicans and democrats seem incapable of coming up with a reason to raise the debt ceiling or not raise it? to come together at all? when you think about the attitude in february, it seem the president was going to the middle. look after the april 13 speech, he said, i'm going to have to go to the left. >> steve: when nancy pelosi appeared yesterday, he said, former madam speaker, where is the jobs and where is the plan from the democrats? she said, well, you know, the republicans are running the show. the problem is, the republicans have a plan. democrats don't have any plan other than to say, we don't like their plan and we're at a stalemate.

>> gretchen: in the meantime, we have headlines. fox news alert from iraq. u.s. military says five american soldiers have been killed this morning outside of baghdad. the pentagon not saying how the soldiers were killed. iraqi security officials claim camp victory was attacked by rockets. the names of the american soldiers are not yet being released. word president obama is considering a steeper troop withdrawal from afghanistan than previously expected. joining us live from the white house is mike emmanuel. gates is on a farewell tour in afghanistan. what is he saying about the future of the efforts there? >> it's interesting, conventional wisdom is that we're expect to go hear a draw down of 3,000 to a thousand troops sometime next month. the president is expected to speak to the nation sometime later this month about the way forward in afghanistan. defense secretary gates sounds cautious about the way forward in afghanistan. here he is speaking to the troops. >> we can hold this territory

and expand the bubble, then i think by the end of the year, we can turn the corner in this conflict. >> so he is known for believing that it is important to keep maximum fire power in afghanistan, to try to make those gains that have been made more permanent. he says if you're going to pull some people out, pull support troops out, not the troops at the tip of the spear. >> gretchen: there is pressure to quicken the draw down. what about the arguments on that side? i think specifically it started happening after the killing of osama bin laden. right? >> no question about that. vice president biden is believed to be among those who think we can do a steeper draw down. obviously the president's political base is hoping more troops will come out sooner than later. there are arguments about the expense of the war at a time when we're in such fiscal bad shape in this country. there is also the art that if we've got use use, if he's dead, no longer a factor that, in a sense, some people would argue that we may have accomplished a

key portion of the mission. so there will definitely be pressure. we know a key meeting is set for today in the white house situation room where the president will hear a lot of different perspectives. gretchen. >> gretchen: mike emmanuel live at the white house. thanks very much. more headlines. one of the largest wild fires in arizona's history. it's growing bigger. this fire has scorched 184,000-acres near the new mexico border. people being forced from their homes. more than 2,000 firefighters are trying to get it all under control, but there is another major wild fire burning in the southeastern part of the state. day 11 of testimony in the casey anthony case starts in less than an hour. on the state is the doctor who created highly sensitive scientific instruments that detect decomposition. they were used on the air and carpet samples in casey's car. she's accused of killing her two-year-old daughter and could face the death penalty if convicted. stay tuned with greta van susteren at 10:00 p.m. eastern,

she's at the trial and will have exclusive details. you're looking at live pictures outside the cozy $14 million apartment. this is dominique strauss-kahn's house right now. due back in court this morning. he is expected to plead not guilty to sexually assaulting a maid in new york city. his lawyers expected to argue that police did not follow proper procedure when they yanked him off a plane headed to paris and arrested him. he's on house arrest after he posted $6 million bail. >> brian: do we have to pay for those guards? >> gretchen: no, he does. >> steve: 50,000 a month. let's talk about this. in 2006, a 47-year-old guy from new jersey named frederick voss was at a place in brick township, new jersey, a bar named tiffany's. and he had a number of drinks and it was determined after he wrecked his motorcycle, his blood alcohol level was 2 1/2 times the legal limit.

now extraordinarily, the new jersey supreme court said he, the guy who fell off his motorcycle, can sue the bar that served him all the liquor. >> gretchen: this is an interesting debate and has been around for a while. even if you have a party at your home, are you liable then if people drink and they go out and have accidents? >> brian: as a family who owned bars for about 60 years, it's a huge thing. people have fake i.d., they drink under age. back then there were no pictures and then they get in an accident, oh, i'm 17 or 16 and then the bar shuts down for a month. this is a huge debate. the only thing you can do is give the bar tenders -- let the bar tenders be able to take blood from you. >> gretchen: when we did a debate earlier in the show, it's a subjective thing for a bar tender, unless they're sleeping at a bar, it can be subjective whether or not someone had too much alcohol. >> steve: i would say 25 drinks, and then you just have to figure

they are drunk. >> gretchen: but all the people under 25 drunks, subjective. here is the debate. >> it will be the restaurant's fault because there is a law, let us not forget, already on the books that say, any establishment that serves somebody who is visually intoxicated is responsible for those actions. there is another piece of the law that was passed later on that says that a drunk driver can't bring an action. however, that piece of the law only dealt with automobile insurance claims. not claims against tavern owners. >> where is the personal responsibility here? you hold the liability, putting it back on the restaurants owners and victimizing the owners isn't the answer. >> steve: interesting. where does it go? we'll keep you posted. >> brian: the thing is, it's got to be a breathalyzer, something for everybody's car. the bouncer will check your i.d. and then blow into something before you leave. >> steve: unless somebody is going to drive them home. that would be a tough solution, though. >> gretchen: take a cab. strong winds throwing a bouncy castle like a tiny toy.

this is no game. there are children inside of that bouncy castle right there, screaming for help. a man who saw the whole thing go down. >> steve: and call him lord of the wings. this is donald trump's old plane, but donald has a new set of wheels. coming up, he gives us a tour inside his $100 million jet when he joins us live. thanks to the venture card from capital one,

good morning to you. >> good morning. >> gretchen: actually that's your wife taping that video. >> that's correct. my wife, who couldn't be here today. new york city teacher and they have a state test. she cooperate be here today. >> gretchen: very important that she go to her job. thanks for explaining that. but you could hear her voice saying oh, my gosh. is that you running right there? >> i had already gone ahead and i'm actually holding the bouncy at this point. i had just gotten there and like i said, the first reaction was to run and go to it and stop it 'cause it had been tumbling through the crowd. >> gretchen: you're coaching soccer at the time. >> yeah. right where we are, it's facing opposite way of where the field was. we heard screaming and that's what made us turn around and we saw that tumbling through the air. >> gretchen: as a parent, describe what's going through your mind at this time because you know kids are in there. did you think your daughter was in there? >> my daughter was playing

'cause i was coaching the team at the time. my other daughter was right with us. so i wasn't worried about my children because i knew where they were. they were right there on the field with me. i was worried for other children and the first instinct is to run and get there because you know there are children over there, there are a lot of people over there. you hear screaming and i followed with all the other dads. we took off and went to get it and hold it down. >> gretchen: i understand when you got to the one bouncy house, there were no kids inside your castle. right? >> yeah. i got to the slide, the big one shown right there. there was no one in it by the time we had gotten there. >> gretchen: but in the other one, 15 kids and now there is a woman that's still hospitalized. several of these kids taken to a hospital as well? >> yeah. i don't know how many children were inside the ride, or i guess hit by the ride when they went up and tumbled around, but some kids and parents had gotten hit. i don't know of anyone who got

hurt personally. it's a very big soccer club. >> gretchen: you just have to be wary as a parent because we have reported on several of these things have happened. >> you want to make sure it's down proper. i don't know if that's the case or not. i didn't set them up. i don't know the people who set them up. >> gretchen: obviously there was a problem there. michael, thank you so much for coming in and sharing your thoughts. >> thank you. >> gretchen: coming up on the show, incredible breakthroughs in the fight against cancer. the treatment showing remarkable success in treating breast cancer and skin cancer. and they fought for our freedom and now struggling to make ends meet. we need your help to find jobs for three of our nation's bravest. ♪ birds flying high

>> well, i'm very good in sales. that's mainly what i have done. i've had a design company, a garage door company. i owned and operated businesses. i'm good in sales. it's kind of hard to find one of those right now. >> brian: and when you tell people who a prospective employers that you're from the military, their reaction? >> well, i live in a town that's very high in military. i live in virginia beach and there is a lot of military there. we're all proud of our veterans. >> brian: mark, you've been here before. you enrolled in the marine after 9-11. now that you're out in the private sector again, are you surprised you seem to be having trouble? what kind of jobs are you looking for? >> i worked in finance before i joined the marine corps and i was moving into the private equity sector of the business and that's what i'd like to get into. i've missed four years. now i have my mba. six years out of the private sector, but that's where i'm going. >> brian: how long you been looking? >> i spent two years before i

started my mba looking for a job. i just recently graduated. fairly repeatedly. interviewing, but no job yet. >> brian: you did an incredible thing. you joined the marines. somebody you served with, carlos, tell us your story and goals. >> i left the marines in 2007, been unemployed ever since. i've been working on my third degree now in business. i'll be graduating next year. >> brian: third degree in business. you want to be a federal agent. correct? >> yes. >> brian: what have you done for that? >> i did apply for a couple jobs. border protection and i'm still waiting. >> brian: since when? >> i took the test around two years ago. >> brian: you took the test two years ago, since 2009. no bites yet? >> no. >> brian: it's really disturbing. kathy, overall, do you think we're sending a bad message, go join our volunteer force, but we're not going to welcome you back? >> well, i think that times are

very hard out there for everybody. it's not just for the veterans. there is college students that can't find work. so i think that just all across the board, it's very difficult right now for everyone. >> brian: listen, if you have a job for carlos who could be a federal agent. you know there is an opportunity. help us out. for mark, you know his background in finance. he served in the marines. you can hear ha a great salesperson kathy is with her ten years of private sector experience with the military background. let's hook all three of them up today, this show. thanks to awful you for your service. thanks for telling your story. >> thanks. >> brian: meanwhile, straight ahead, did he know he was breaking the law? one of john edwards' closest aides shares the hush money secrets. then inside donald trump's $100 million ride. his new personal jet, the donald is here to give us his personal tour and talk about the upcoming debates and our economy. and this ten-year-old's rendition of the star spangled

>> steve: time for your shout of the morning. incredible story of survival. buried alive after the massachusetts tornadoes, this six-month-old puppy survived for four days before being rescued and returned to his family this past weekend. >> he's doing great. he's tired and hungry, but besides that, he's in great shape. >> steve: that's great. the pup named shadow has not been seen since thursday. a local state trooper passing by heard shadow wimperring under the roof and dug him out and now he's alive to live another day. >> gretchen: what a great story amidst so much tragedy there. other headlines for monday now, another tenth day along the israel-syria border. syrian police are blocking palestinian protesters from approaching the border after deadly clashes. at least 20 protesters were killed by israeli troops after

they tried to illegal enter israel on the anniversary of the 1967 arab-israeli war. israel also accusing syria of allowing the demonstrators to be shot to deflect attention away from the demonstrations happening inside their own country. >> brian: and gaining steam. those people are extremely courageous. it's believed bean sprouts caused the e.coli outbreak in europe. this reportedly came from this farm in germany. over 2200 people are infected, including four americans and two u.s. service members stationed in injury many. u.s. officials say the american food supply is safe. >> steve: meanwhile, former democratic presidential hopeful john edwards reportedly refused to cop a plea because prosecutors demand he spend six months in jail as part of the deal. the attorney for edwards' former top aide, andrew young, told us there is evidence john edwards knew he was misusing campaign funds when he tried to cover up that affair.

>> as i understand it, there is going to be direct and circumstantial evidence that edwards not only knew the sourcing of the funds, but understood the distinction between that which would be nominally a gift and that which would affect the campaign. >> steve: that attorney added he's not surprised prosecutors are holding edwards' feet to the fire because they've invested so much time in this case. >> gretchen: connecticut high school senior james tate, he made it to his prom after all! all right! look at how great he looks. last month he was banned from the dance after posting an invitation to his date. here is how he did it. he put it on the school wall. 200,000 people petitioned on facebook and james ended up not only going to the prom, but was named co--king. the school said because you put that note up on the wall, that's against school policy. so now you can't go to the prom. a lot of people thought that was way too harsh and looks like he

ended up going and now he's king. >> brian: there is a lot of sports he was playing before the sports. >> steve: i hope he returned his tux on time. >> brian: i'm going to pick up my date and get going. >> steve: meanwhile, let's take a look. this is a live -- we're going to show you a live image, but first we're going to show you the satellite and radar images, the doppler. widely scattered showers in portions of wisconsin, back through minnesota at this hour. also widely scattered stuff out west. otherwise the balance of the country is nice and dry. as you can see here, it's 78 in memphis, tennessee. about the same for kansas city. 71 already in minneapolis. and things are going to warm up significantly. look at this. the century mark in el paso and dallas. close to it in san antonio and memphis and new orleans. it is going to be a hot one today in those sports with no relief in sight, no rain today.

meanwhile, almost 90 in raleigh-durham. 80 in new york city. much of the cleveland area and the ohio valley, temperatures in the mid- to upper 80s. right here, this is a satellite image of a burst levee threatening to flood the town of hamburg, iowa. a blackhawk helicopter dropping sandbags on the levee, which sits on the missouri river. it could damage homes and farm land as the army corps of engineers takes a good look with their satellite. >> gretchen: it's monday and this that means it's time to bring in donald trump who joins us every monday. good morning to you, donald. >> good morning. >> gretchen: hope you had a fantastic weekend. it was beautiful here in new york. >> it was. >> gretchen: not so beautiful with the economy news. may created a 4,000 jobs in the private sector. and one of the chief economic guys for president obama, austin goolsby, was on some of the talk shows yesterday trying to

explain why maybe it's just one bad month. i want you to listen to this and then comment. >> okay. >> what you want to look at are what are the recent trends because one month is not a trend. and the last six months, we've added a million jobs in the economy. there is a plan. it has been working. we have been adding jobs significantly over the course of this year. we faced a stiff head wind and this was a tough month, but i don't think that we should abandon the idea that what we need to do now is get the private sector stood up. >> gretchen: mr. trump? >> it's interesting to say that you're adding jobs and yet unemployment goes up if you look at what -- i mean the numbers were absolutely terrible on friday. unemployment is up and the stimulus is gone. i can't imagine more stimulus because the republicans, i could not even think that they would approve it. so the stimulus is gone, which was really false to start off with. it was a tremendous waste of money. and we're really in a very bad

pickle. >> brian: donald trump, i'm wondering what you would say to him. he says he's calling on the private sector to do more. why aren't they doing more? >> i think china and other places are taking other jobs. look at india with the outsourcing, tremendous outsourcing where people answer your phone for credit card things and they happen to be based in india. we are really doing very terrible things to this country. we're destroying our country. we're destroying our economy. we're outsourcing our jobs. we're not making products any longer. if you look at products, they're being made in china and many other countries. and it's really very sad what's gone on. >> steve: what you just said echos what rush limbaugh said about the private sector. listen to this. >> the president of the united states is winning his war against the private sector. he is destroying it. that is his mission. his mission is succeeding. >> steve: do you think that's the president's mission to

destroy the private sector? >> the private sector is being destroyed whether anybody likes it or not. the fact is, rush is right. the job picture is horrible. the big problem we have in this country is we don't make very much anymore. we used to make everything and now everything is being made in other countries and we're consuming and we spend for health care and other things, but that's not a product that brings in revenue really to us. so we don't make things like we used to. we used to be a great industrial -- we had the industrial revolution. we have the opposite of the industrial revolution right now. >> gretchen: one of the things, donald, and you would know this because you have a lot of people on your payroll -- help me understand and we pose this question earlier on the show. when the economy seemed to be bouncing back in the last couple of metropolitan, the one thing that didn't change was that private businesses continually said, yeah, but we're not really going to start hiring yet. is it because they didn't know what their taxes were going to be down the road? is it because they didn't know

how obamacare was going to affect health care for their employees? >> they're afraid, they're scared. they don't know what's going on. they went through a very bad period. they're continuing to go through a very bad period. obamacare is a disaster. a lot of people are figuring that by 2014 when obamacare kicks in, they'll have to close up their business because they won't be able to afford health insurance. they will not be able to afford or pay for obamacare. so you really have small entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs generally that are very nervous and actually very scared. >> brian: i got to ask you quick about the military. there is a big push now to make it a substantial military pullback cutback in afghanistan in july. here is colonel alan west who is now our cangman weighing in. >> the most important thing that i don't want to see is continuing to try to use the united states military as a bill payer for government, wreckless

irresponsibility. >> i think they're do that. i think they're blaming the military for a lot of imcompetence and a lot of job destruction that they've done and our military, you see by just looking at the world, has to be stronger than ever before. i would like to see money being spent in our country and not iraq and afghanistan. money should now be spent in our country, but if anything, our military should become stronger. >> steve: let's shift away to something else. i know for a while you had toyed with the idea of running for president of the united states in which case, you would get the keys to air force one. you don't need air force one. you've got a brand-new $100 million private jet. tell us a little bit about trump one. >> well, let's look at it as a job producing enterprise. it is a beautiful plane. i use it for business. we have a lot of business. i get to use it a lot. and it's important in a sense, but it was actually built in this country. it was refinished in this

country. and, you know, i employ a number of people that happen to work in this country. i don't send it overseas. >> gretchen: we happen to be looking at your bedroom in the plane. did you have anything to do with the decorating? >> a little bit actually. i did choose certain things. >> gretchen: so you like the color. is that beige? >> i like beige. it's a wonderful plane. it's a boeing 757 and it's a great plane. >> brian: do you have to put your bed in an upright position when you go in for landing. >> generally speaking, yes. >> brian: it's the only bed i know with seatbelts. >> steve: just the one. >> gretchen: oh, my goodness. >> brian: real quick, rick santorum says i'm going to run. he's going to be in this race. can he win? >> well, i don't want to be a wise guy, so i'm not going to comment on that. i want to be very nice. i'm becoming more and more, as i study politics, i become more and more diplomatic. so i will not have any comment. he seems like a very nice guy. i honestly don't know him.

>> steve: well, he's now in it to win it, he said in the last hour. so we'll stand by for that. donald trump joins us every monday right here on "fox & friends." thank you, sir. have a great week. >> thank you very much. >> gretchen: today the experts are weighing in. will forensic evidence be enough to convict casey anthony for the murder of her own child? peter johnson, jr. with an up close look when we come back. >> steve: would you believe this is her first live performance? that one right there. ♪ by the dawn's early light ♪ what so proudly ♪ in the land that i heard of once in a lull a,by ♪ ♪ somewhere over the rainbow ♪ [ bob ] i'd love to build bird houses for the rest of my life.

>> gretchen: fox news alert. your looking at new video taken

moments ago as dominique strauss-kahn, the imf, arrived at a new york city court. he's expected to plead not guilty to sexually assaulting a maid at a luxury hotel in new york city. his lawyers are expected to argue that police did not follow proper procedure when they yanked him off a plane and arrested him. i'm not sure how that affects any of the charges against him. two major cancer breakthroughs. a new drug has been found to prevent breast cancer from spreading. the drug stops tumors from returning after surgery and apparently it has no side effects. that's good news. two different drugs are showing promise in fighting skin cancer. the two drugs can extend survival rates in melanoma patients by months, even years. fantastic. steve? >> steve: thanks. a live look outside the orlando courthouse where day 11 of testimony in the casey anthony murder trial is about to get underway. the prosecution is expected to

call another forensic scientist. earlier an f.b.i. expert testified about a hair found in the trunk of the car. >> it was light to medium brown, no tissue was present and it was nine inches long. the hair exhibited similarities to a hair found in a hair brush which was identified as belonging to caylee anthony. it has a darkened band at the root portion of the hair and is consistent with decomposition. >> steve: is the prosecution's case a slam dunk? >> it's not really a slam dunk and the f.b.i. expert had to concede that she could not positively or beyond a reasonable doubt or the reasonable degree of medical september, identify that hair as the young victim's hair. we're going to hear this week, probably, from a dr. vas who is an expert in terms of identifying fumes, identifying gasses, identifying what dead

bodies smell like. so he has undertaken a study that indicates that many of the chemical components that are consistent with an early decomposing body were found in that trunk. in fact, he's patented another device by which he can detect bodies that are buried in the ground. the problem is, and the defense will say, and they've said already and the judge ruled against them, is that this is not scientifically accepted peer reviewed evidence that the things he's going to testify are not accepted in the scientific community generally because he's the only one who testifies to these things. so the csi component that the evidence is literally in the air is not a slam dunk in this case. >> steve: plus then you've got the element of they found a super high concentration of color form right there, the idea is that she chloroformed the kid.

>> he can also say that he can not eliminate other causes, other rotting, decaying causes in that particular trunk. we have the hair evidence, we have the air evidence, taken together with the fact that she was googling things about chloroform and neck breaking and other things associated with an intentional death makes it difficult. but on its own, the forensic evidence is unproven and untested, in my mind in some ways. >> steve: the testimony continues 11 minutes from now. peter. >> good to see you. >> steve: meanwhile, it took only seconds for this crowd to realize they were watching a rising star. ♪ o'er the land of the free ♪ and the home -- >> steve: ten-year-old julia dale performs for us live next. but right now, alisyn joins us live now. >> happy monday, steve.

[ male announcer ] when diet and exercise alone aren't enough, adding crestor does more than lower bad cholesterol and raise the good. crestor is also proven to slow plaque buildup in arteries. crestor is not right for everyone -- like people with liver disease or women who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant. simple blood tests will check for liver problems. tell your doctor about other medicines you are taking or if you have muscle pain or weakness. that could be a sign of serious side effects. ask your doctor about plaque build up. and if crestor is right for you.
