re-election. but new polls reveal the bin laden boce gone. "fox & friends" starts now. >> we've called the network. normally we do three hours. we actually need five hours for today's program. >> that's a fox news alert for them if they're up this early. huge show coming up today. mira and paul sorvino, daughter and father together will be cooking up a storm for us as well as glenn beck will be back on the curvy couch. >> rick santorum says i want to be president. i'll say it again with you guys. third most powerful person in the senate for a while and he believes america is ready for him to take the top job. >> rick harrison, you know that great show about pawn kings, gretchen and i have brought in some priceless stuff and he'll try to affix a price to it.

also, christina hendricks will be dropping by on the curvy couch. >> whole new slate. paula deen will be cooking up a storm with us and actor jeff bridges has a special project he's been working on. >> khloe and kourtney kardashian. >> rounding out the show the great randy travis will be joining us live. >> he's pumped up for the big show. >> i hope so. this is anthony weiner and he looks pumped up right there. >> and shaved clean. >> this is apparently one of the pictures he tweeted to a woman -- let's put this in perspective. >> groovy, baby! >> thank you, austin powers. it was a week ago, mr. weiner said i did not send that picture of my underwear to that 21-year-old girl in washington

and yesterday, andrew brikebart released these photos and apparently has an x-rated one of him as well and mr. weiner said too much. i'm going on have a press conference. that's crazy. >> that x-rated one is not releasing. he will. but he's not going to release it just now. this is a snippet or snippets from the press conference yesterday. the alarming press conference, if you were watching it, when weiner said this. >> last friday night i tweeted a photograph of myself that i intended to send as a direct message as part of a joke to a woman in seattle. once i realized i had posted it to twitter, i panicked. i took it down and said i had been hacked and i then continued with that story to stick to that story which was a hugely regrettable mistake. i've exchanged messages and photos of an explicit nature with about six women over the last three years. for the most part, these communications took place before my marriage though some have

sadly took place after. to be clear, the picture was of me and i sent it. i'm deeply sorry for the pain this has caused my wife and our family. >> it's just so amazing. he spent the last 10 days yelling at people calling them jackasses and dismissing people who said why are you being -- why are you allowing or why are you following so many young women out of all of your choices of people to follow, constituents out of your -- these people aren't even constituents. they're out of your network. he's yelling at reporters. he's being condescending in their comments. bret baier says i found -- i talked to somebody who is very familiar with twitter and says they could find out in five minutes who went into your account and who sent this. how dare you do that? you got to be kidding me. >> you remember the original accusation is the account had been hacked. when he found out that falsely accusing somebody of hacking your account is a federal crime, the terminology changed to prank

but then -- and his explanation yesterday was as many people who are involved in cover-ups, i didn't want to disappoint my wife and my family and i was trying to keep them out of there. will there be an investigation now? remember when nancy pelosi was speaker of the house she made the call for having the cleanest congress ever. some people call that into question when she was actually speaker but she stepped up to the plate immediately yesterday and said this. i'm deeply disappointed and saddened about this situation for anthony's wife, his family, his staff and his constituents. iep calling for an ethics committee investigation to determine whether any official resources were used for any other violation of house rules occurred. >> he said he saw nancy pelosi right before he went on and at which time he was going to go forward with it. word is they don't get along anyway and she's going to move ahead with an ethics investigation. don't see a republican in sight. this is democrat on democrat trying to reign in somebody who is clearly off the rails. >> so nancy pelosi and company, they're going to have this

ethics investigation and there's already information out there that is very damning to mr. weiner which could imperil him from keeping the job. for instance, according to -- and it's all over -- it's all out there today. a 40-year-old blackjack dealer by the name of lisa weiss apparently has had a nine month on-line sexting relationship with him and in addition to receiving 220 dirty messages, essentially, apparently, weiner used a government phone to have phone sex with her. and she knows that it's a government phone because after he called her, she called him back, there was a recorded message. this was a -- an outgoing government phone. >> that is absolutely key. >> but i got a feeling, folks, this is just the tip of the iceberg. >> there's another woman who has now so far spoken out and she speaks to sean hannity for tonight. last night she did the interview. we'll show you a 30-second clip.

this is megan brussard from texas. >> what that photo of his private areas came in, you know, you're a 26-year-old girl, this is a 46-year-old congressman recently married. what did you think then? >> i just thought at the time there's got to be something. there's way more girls out there. there's not just me. there's nothing so special about me that there's a lot more girls. what i thought at the time, this is something that's regular, he's done all the time. he's comfortable. >> tonight you're going to hear more from megan broussard on has not's show at 9:00. she came forward because she realized more pictures of her could come out and i'm going to beat everybody to the punch and i'm going to come out and control the situation and that's exactly what she did. >> i think how do you sum this whole story up, sexting, a badded whbad idea. we worry about this for our

kids. it's a huge adult problem. >> after what we've heard him say over the last 10 days, how can anybody trust what he says again? he lied to his family, he lied to reporters. he lied to his staff and his colleagues. and for him to say, ok, i'm going to be completely cooperative with this investigation, do you believe that? >> what do you think? do you think this guy can survive in the u.s. house of representatives? is it just a matter of time? e-mail us, friends at foxnews.com. or twitter us, i dare you. >> you remember congressman leak put one shirtless shot and speaker boehner says you ought to get going and you're gone. is this worse? >> let's move on to the other -- there he is right there. >> that seems so tame compared to -- >> again, we don't know if there was anything else related to that story but this is all that was ever exposed and then he quit that afternoon before there was any other discussion about anything. let's talk about the president now because he gave an interview yesterday with regard to those dismal job numbers that came out, the unemployment number kicked up to 9.1% recently and then also the may job numbers,

only 54,000 jobs created in the private sector in the month of may. his chief financial guy on the sunday shows said it was a blip and it didn't mean we were heading back into a recession. yesterday, the president gave the interview and had this as an explanation. >> we were on the verge of going into a great depression. the auto example was one example of what could have happened in the financial sector and what could have happened in a whole bunch of areas. that obviously doesn't make you feel better if you don't have a job right now. and so to those who are still unemployed, my main message to them is every day, i get up and ask myself, what more can i be doing? so what they should know is they have a president on their side. >> and also got an economic team that's left the building including austin goolsbee says i'm gone, i'll be out of here soon and you have everybody else who choreographed this except timothy geitner who has gone on to other things and we're left with a mountain of debt and now

we're dipping down again. how does the public feel about president obama's job approval? this poll just out and this is from "the washington post"/abc poll and 47% approve but 49% disapprove. he was in the middle 50's right after bin laden was taken down. >> sure, how do people feel that he's handling the economy? look at this. 40% approve, about 60% do not approve. by a margin of 2-1, people say the united states is on the wrong track and regarding who he would face in the general election, they take a look at six different republicans. he beats five of the six. but interestingly enough -- >> barely. >> in the brand new "washington post" poll, mitt romney actually is ahead of the president of the united states 49%, i believe to 46% so good news for mitt. >> let's do other headlines for you now because we have other news -- another one bites the

dust. the president's top economic advisor, austin goolsbee calling it quits now. he's returning to his teaching job at the university of chicago. yesterday, goolsbee came under fire for causing the rising unemployment rate a bump in the road. recent f.b.i. photos prompting police in new york to resume a search for bodies in the ongoing investigation into a possible serial killer on long island. the remains of at least 10 people have been found there since december. multiple killers could be involved. it's believed one of the killers is tied to the death of four women who were craig's list prostitutes. fox news alert coming to us from tripoli, libya, where a huge explosion has been reported in the area around qaddafi's compound. reporters nearby say there's a large visible column of gray smoke rising into the sky. still no word on casualties or the intended target of the attack. families are moving out. new evacuations being ordered

for people caught near the growing arizona wildfires. about 7,000 so far getting prepared to evacuate the towns of eager and springerville. that's near the new mexico border. >> scary because i know the fire is only about five or six miles over the big rim in front of us and that fire can be here in a matter of hours. >> so far, more than 230,000 acres have been scorched. no serious injuries have been reported. some fires reaching as far as iowa. robert gates is on his way to brussels for nato meetings after wrapping up his farewell tour of afghanistan. before leaving, he toured u.s. bases, thanked service members and told the troops they're on track to deliver a knockout blow to the taliban as long as the u.s. military stays the course. >> i think you have to ask the question what's the cost of failure, we've invested a huge

amount of money here and we've invested 1254 lives to this point. what's the cost of getting it wrong? >> recent reports shows the obama administration may push a steeper withdraw option pushing more troops out of afghanistan than previously expected. those are the headlines. interesting to note that gates is leaving and when that decision is coming if he doesn't agree with that. >> he's definitely telling it like it is, speaking out. the president's original economic team down to one. does that mean our recovery is doomed? stuart varney weighs in. >> this "idol" star, new single burning up the chart. guess what got leaked. the song that wasn't ready for the world to hear. details straight ahead. i will send this to shelley. yeah.

>> the president's chief economic advisor austin goolsbee 24 hours after defending the president's policy he's going to call it quits. he says the new jobs report, by the way, just a fluke. >> don't make too much of any one month job report because they're highly variable. >> well, the white house now confirms that goolsbee is out so he's heading back to chicago to his teaching job. he's the latest in the line of economic team members who have left the president's economic team so where does the president go from here? stuart varney has a few predictions for us. good morning to you. >> first of all, you have to look at how voters have really soured on the president's economic performance. i want to bring up a pie chart for a second. 57% of americans think the

recovery hasn't even begun. not even out of the last crash. not even begun the recovery and if you move on to the next one, this is a "washington post" poll, 59% disapprove of the president's performance on the economy. so the economy is a truly losing issue for the president at the moment. and the team that came up with that policy is now all gone. so what now? >> who's accountable? >> that's a very good question. i mean, it has to go to the president, doesn't it? the team that formulated the stimulus plan, the record budgets, bailouts that team is entirely gone. larry summers, kristina romer and now austin goolsbee have all gone. most going back to academia. >> the interesting thing is that it was my understanding that larry summers maybe was gone because he disagreed with the president. >> well, there's a great deal of infighting about what direction policy should take. but the policy that they came up with, essentially has failed and now that failed team is all gone. look, the question is now what?

is the president going to try to double down another big new stimulus plan? out of the question. it's simply not going to happen. that's not going to happen. is he going to change course and try to deregulate america, forget about obama care. that's out of the question. that's not going to happen. my prediction is he will blame private enterprise. he will demonize the private sector and say look, we laid the groundwork for you. we got you out of a near depression. you've made a ton of money in profits. now get out there and invest in america, you better do that. you're going to demonize private enterprise. >> here's why i think you're wrong. he needs private business to get his billion dollars to win re-election. he's not going to get that from the public sector and from the unions. >> he will win -- maybe he thinks he will win politically. forget economic policy. he thinks he will win politically if he goes after the fat cats, the bankers, the oil companies, the drug companies, the health insurers, the boeings of this world. if he goes after them, he maybe wins politically. i think that's the game plan.

>> but the american people are fed up with politics right now. they need the economy to get back on track. what would your prediction be to help the economy to get back on track? >> i think flat out you got to stop this regulation. if you're a business guy, you run a big corporation, you got a ton of money in the bank, you've made good profits, what are you going to do with it? are you going to invest in america? if you do, you face increasing regulation in finance, in health care, and in energy. key areas, they haven't even written the rules yet but they're going to and they're going to be onerous on you. where's your best line of attack? where are you going to make the most money? is it in america or in asia or some place else? >> you leave us that cliffhanger. we'll continue that conversation on the fox business network. >> yes. >> varney & company. >> thank you, stuart. next on our rundown, will the tea party split the republican vote in 2012? the chair of the tea party express here next with the definitive answer. >> and what's left elected officials to do sleazy things? we want to know what you think

and then we'll get to the experts. the radio rumble is coming up. i'm phil mickelson, pro golfer. if you have painful, swollen joints, i've been in your shoes. one day i'm on p of the world... the next i'm saying... i have this thing called psoriatic arthritis.

i had some intense pain. it progressively got worse. my rheumatologist told me about enbrel. i'm surprid how quickly my symoms have beemanaged. [ male announcer ] because enbrel suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervo system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whetr you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have beetreated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. get back to the things that matter most. good job girls. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you.

>> all right. some quick headlines for you. glad you're up. it's likely not the bean sprouts either. german officials say initial tests show no evidence that the deadly e-coli outbreak that killed 22 people is link to the sprouts grown at that farm. one official admits they may never know where the outbreak started and here's how mexican gangsters roll. two armored trucks used to smuggle drugs across the u.s. border and they found 23 tractor-trailers that were about to be customized with one inch steel -- one inch thick steel

plates. fantastic. >> no kidding. thank you, brian. defeating president obama in 2012 is the number one priority according to the tea party but already some factions are coming out against mitt romney who they say isn't conservative enough for them. but the chairwoman of tea party express, amy kramer says that the entire tea party movement will back the republican nominee even if mitt romney is the nominee. is that accurate, amy? >> actually, what i said is i don't believe that the republican nominee can become the republican nominee without the support of the tea party movement. >> ok, but there are a couple of factions of the tea party movement. for instance, freedom works and also the western representation pack which joe miller who had run for senate out in alaska, he is going to do everything he can to stop mitt romney. he says in a matchup against obama, tea party voters are

looking for if we can move the teleprompter, a consistent constitutional conservative. we will never get behind mitt romney on issues like gun rights, gay rights, abortion, immigration and health care. romney has flipped more than john kerry flopped. ok, so there's one of your colleagues in the tea party who's absolutely against mitt romney. >> well, in full disclosure, steve, as i had said before, we are hosting a presidential debate in september and because of that debate, i am remaining completely neutral and unbiased as well as tea party express. tea party express is only one organization in this movement and there are a number of us. there are many voices and no one speaks for the entire movement but the thing is, as i said, you can't have a republican nominee without having the support of the tea party movement. we are not going to sit back and wait on the g.o.p. to give us a candidate, we are going to get behind and coalesce behind the

most conservative constitutional candidate that represents the principles and values of the tea party movement and will work toward fiscal responsibility, limited government and free market. whoever that candidate is, they're going to win the nomination. we're going to give the g.o.p. the candidate. we're not going to accept what the g.o.p. just chooses to hand us. >> and one of the problems, amy, is if there were a third party candidate out there, he would draw probably some votes away and president obama would sail on to re-election and that is your fear, right? >> well, look, i mean, i believe that this movement is going to come together and find that conservative candidate that we can all get behind because, as i've said, we want to crush obama. we have to get president obama out of the white house. he has to be a one-term president. there's no ifs, and or buts about that so i believe the movement will come together and we will work towards defeating barack obama. >> at this point, according to

"the washington post" poll out this morning, mitt romney is a frontrunner and actually in a dead heat with the president. amy kramer, thank you very much. >> you know what, steve? the thing is all the players aren't even on the field yet. >> that's right. >> we're just beginning so we have a long way to go to even talk about a general election. we've got to get through the primaries and there's a lot of play in the primaries. >> all right, amy kramer joining us today from atlanta. thank you very much, ma'am. >> thanks for having me. >> you betcha. coming up next on the rundown, teachers saying no fair over budget cuts. >> now, the teachers are demanding a bailout of their own. of course. and anthony weiner says sexting those racy pictures was just a dumb mistake. really? what americans are saying in our radio rumble next. but first, happy birthday to tom jones. the singer is 71.

mistake. >> so will congressman weiner survive and stay in congress or will he be forced to resign? let's turn it over to our radio rumble. >> joining us from orlando, mark brunier, from san francisco robert thompson and here in new york, loose cannon. for you, is he going to step down or is this the end of this for weiner? >> he's not going to step down, the voters will decide in new york. i mean, he made a bad choice. the thing that bothered me was he never shows the regret that said he was going to get some help. this guy needs some help. he's got a major problem and he'll stay and the voters will end up deciding. probably survive this. don't forget, it's new york. >> there's an ethics committee, though, and that's congress. robert, what do you think? >> i think he needs to resign. folks are looking for leadership in congress, they're not looking for people wasting their time taking dunk shots and sending them off and tweeting them. they want people out there really focused in on getting jobs started in this country. and focused on what the work

that's necessary to be done. >> and he's doing it from a government office. he could be in a lot of trouble and in violation. here's the problem, too. he's talking about well, he did it as a joke. as we see this pattern of behavior that's emerged on line and the government.com and everything else, he may not have been candid then. >> first of all, i think he's going to step down yesterday. if he doesn't, he makes nixon look enlightened. what was your other question? >> ok, thank you very much. you got the swivel chair. congratulations. let's go on and listen to this and i want to get your reaction to nancy pelosi's assessment of our economic woes. >> it's a question of what -- what is the president, what are those who aspire to be president going to do about the future, to create jobs, good paying jobs, what are they going to do witab the education of our kids, reducing the deficit. >> the president has been there 2 1/2 years. why hasn't he done that yet? >> and she went on to say,

well, she went on to also go on to say that, well, i criticized -- she criticized president bush when the unemployment was at 5% and things were a lot better, is it right to criticize obama? now, she doesn't want to look back. what do you think of nancy pelosi's assessment, mark? >> this is typical spin. both sides do it. i mean, don't forget, democrats were running the show here for four years. what did they accomplish? did they really expect that in the first five months during this term they would create all these jobs and put the economy back together and don't forget, 2/3 of this government is run by democrats. where's the leadership from the white house? where's the leadership in the senate? get out of the way so businesses can start hiring again. that's the key in this. the government needs to get out of the way, more government regulation and bailouts isn't going to get it done. >> the speaker of the house and the former speaker of the house says the president has done everything he can do, robert. >> i think that obama probably

should have done a lot more in 2009, i think the stimulus was underfunded. i think "the new york times" said the stimulus wouldn't be as effective as they were saying at the time and he needed to do more. >> and l.k.? >> yeah. >> well, had the audacity to want answers of substance and nancy couldn't go off script. >> right now, none of them would win. i'm sorry. and i like mitt romney. i like a lot of the people in the field but particularly i'm interested in hearing more about herman cain but right now, despite some new numbers that shows romney actually leads today, i'm sorry, unless we really put a strong push on, unless sarah palin kind of gets out of way and stops trying to take the limelight, i don't see

us beating him. right now with election being held today. >> if you want an economic whiz kid, it might be mitt romney, is that enough? >> definitely, mitt romney is not an economic whiz kid. he's a weather vane and he'll blow every which way the wind is blowing. it's a game right now and i think sarah palin would be great if she was the nominee. just think of the numbers that the daily show would have. >> all right, that's a good point. i'm really concerned about their numbers. l.k.? >> i think the republicans need for the economy to continue to dive to the next year which is a very awkward position because they need people to suffer in order to win. >> all right. mark, robert thompson, loose cannon, good job. three rounds, three topics. we're done. meanwhile, coming up straight ahead, more on anthony weiner. judge napolitano is here with the legal angle. wein weiner lied but did he actually

you better take care of this business and i did. >> luckily for you, you got a big family including mira who immediately started to figure out what can i help my dad eat? >> this is our second year partnering on a great diabetes awareness campaign called diabetes co-stars and you can go to our web site and this year, we are expanding to create a recipe contest because we've had to change the way that we cook for dad and the way that he eats. among other things that are part of his treatment plan. >> and the cool thing about this particular contest is two people are going to wind up going to the new york wine and food festival and actually cooking with the sorvinos, right? >> yes, yes. i don't know if that's such a great thing for them but it will be fun for us. >> i think it will be fun. today, you'll make one of the recipes, you, mira have developed for your father. what is it? >> i have. it's an apricot raspberry crumble. it's low in carbs, low in calories, low in fat and

delicious. >> all right. how about making it? >> ok. >> if anybody would like the recipe, you can get it. >> first of all, you've greased your pan. you put in half of your oatmeal mixture. you have this with dried oats, ok? and -- >> do you cook much? >> i cook every day. i've been cooking since i was 12. the whole point of this is i can do what i need to do because, you know, with the pen, life gets a lot easier. >> that's really changed things, hasn't it? >> enormously. what happens is you work that out with your doctor, he's got to be consulted and he teaches you how to do it. there are some side effects of this. you can have shaking and sweating and weakness and you got to know -- you got to test your blood to know how to use it. >> what's that stuff? >> i'm going to grab one of your spoons over here. what you know? i'll just eat this. this is chopped apricot and i like -- i put some butter on top of the oatmeal, ok? oatmeal is very low glycemic

index, apricot is a good fruit for that, too, we're putting a layer of this here. >> quickly. quickly. faster, faster! >> we have anthony weiner news ahead of the top of the hour. you want to put the oatmeal in? we've run out of oatmeal! >> there should be more than that and then you put the remaining butter. >> put everything together. >> and you put your apricot and your raspberries on top. >> all right. >> like this. >> there it is. >> after cooking -- >> what about this? >> now, we make a topping out of plain yogurt, nonfat yogurt, we add vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and then you take stevia to taste, it's a natural sweetener. not artificial but it's good for you if you're a diabetic and it's not harmful to you and then this creates a delicious topping that's sort of like a whipped topping or an ice cream but without all the guilt. then we serve it up. the plates are not open. >> quickly.

quickly. >> i think our recipe contest will go better than this. by the way, anybody can -- we're done! ok. here we go. oh, no, this is the wrong one. this is not going akargd to plan! >> put on -- >> ok. that is -- >> that's add gooz as it's going to taste. >> very nice. if anyone would like more information, go to our web site at foxnews.com. >> it looks delicious. i'm going to eat it during the commercial. mira, paul, thank you very much. all right, gretchen, brian, i got breakfast for you. >> thank you very much. >> it looks very healthy. >> bring in the two superstars as well. >> straight ahead -- >> don't call him the underdog. presidential candidate rick santorum will be with us live to tell the white house that's his message. >> anthony weiner may have lied but did he break the law? next on the rundown, a guy who really knows the law, judge napolitano, at least he says he does. k9 advantix ii.

>> good to be back. i'm so -- i didn't shut my phone off. i'm getting a tweet -- oh, my gosh. oh, my gosh. it's from congressman anthony weiner. look at that. oh, my gosh. >> and i'm on after that! thank goodness the judge is here to laugh with me. anyway, congressman anthony weiner no laughing matter confesses to tweeting lewd photos of himself on line but says he didn't really do

anything constitutionally wrong. >> i lied because i was ashamed of what i had done and didn't want to get caught. but my -- did i violate the constitution of the united states by lying about posting a twitter post? i don't think so. >> could weiner face criminal charges? fox news senior judicial analyst and host of "freedom watch" judge andrew napolitano joins us now. a constitutional violation? >> i don't think there's a constitutional violation. in fact, i don't think there's a criminal violation here. his problem would be with the ethics investigators in the house of representatives and the ethics rules that pertain to this would have to do with whether his private behavior and his public behavior brought disrepute on the house of representatives. >> so it's a subjective thing. >> it's very subjective and very high bar. look at congressman charles rangel who was convicted in a proceeding before the house ethics committee of falsifying financial documents under oath.

look at senator david vitter who admitted to crossing interstate lines to patronize prostitutes, a felony. they're both sitting in congress. i don't think what he admitted to yesterday and what we know about him is sufficient to expel him but the political pressure for him to go could become enormous. the president has crazy dreams about taking back a majority in the house in 2012. they cannot afford to have someone like this running with them when the side show, this distraction will cause the voters to think about his personal behavior instead of his political views. >> so you ultimately believe that he will under pressure resign but some people are still talking about the criminal charges and one of the things with regard to using his government office phone. let's listen to his defense of that. >> i'm going to try to tell you everything that i can remember was my blackberry is not a government blackberry. my home computer is usually where i did these things. i don't have the knowledge of

every last communication but i don't believe that i used any government resources. >> and yet, now, some of the women are coming out and saying that, in fact, they were on the phone with him and then they called right back and it was, in fact, his government office according to them. >> you know, it is -- one could argue that it is a crime to use government resources to perpetrate a fraud. but a fraud would require some material misrepresentation and some -- some gain for him, usually a financial gain which doesn't apply here. ask martha stewart. it's a crime to lie to the government. but it's not a crime for the government or government officials to lie to us. this is a glaring example of how that law needs to be changed. >> very interesting. judge napolitano, have a fantastic show today. >> and thank you. you as well. is brian still here? >> he's right over there on the curvy couch. say hello to him. >> in the meantime, rick harrison is his name and treasure hunting is his game. one of the pawn stars to wheel and deal on our personal belongings and it's the last time you will see him on "fox & friends." oh, my gosh.

he was 69 years young and those are your headlines this morning. >> let's bring in glenn beck. glenn, good morning to you. >> how are you? >> fine, thank you very much. i saw the top of your program yesterday. you simply started a simple camera and had the transcript of what anthony weiner had said and you highlighted some of the details when he said stuff like this. let's listen. >> last friday night, i tweeted a photograph of myself that i intended to send as a direct message as part of a joke to a woman in seattle. once i realized i had posted it to twitter, i panicked and i took it down and said i had been hacked. i then continued with that story, to stick to that story which was a hugely regrettable mistake. i've exchanged messages and photos of an explicit nature with six women for the last three years. for the most part, these communications took place before my marriage though some have sadly took place after. to be clear, the picture was of me and i sent it. and i'm deeply sorry for the pain this has caused my wife

huma and our family. >> do they have children? >> no. they just have been married a year. >> i mean, i feel horrible for his family and his wife. i mean -- >> some of those young women who he sexted with were young enough to be his children. >> that's classy. that's classy. i -- i wonder why this guy is not being drummed up -- you know, drummed out of office right now, i mean, forget about the sex dirt bag thing. the guy put himself in a position to be blackmailed. and at a time in our country's history where we have to have the truth and we have to have it right now. we have three fronts of a war right now thanks to president obama, we haven't stopped the war. we've added another front to the war. now we're in libya. our economy is coming apart. we have jobs problems.

there's a massive lack of trust. nobody believes they're getting anything true anymore and this guy for a week does this to the country, lies about it. puts himself into a position of blackmail and tries to convince everybody that yes, somebody can hack in and do this. >> what does it say to you? there seems to be one scandal after the next recently. >> no, this is the most ethical. >> there always have been scandaled if you look back in political history. but what does it say to our kids? should they look up to politicians as role models? >> no. not now. >> not now. not until we -- until we start to grow good politicians again. until we change ourselves, you know, i'm -- i was working on something late last night and i -- i put politicians up at the top. and washington and the people down at the bottom and then all of the problems in between. we have to start working at the

bottom. everybody is trying to concentrate on let's change the administration, let's change congress. let's get more ethical people in. no, let's start at the bottom. let's make sure our families are right. let's make sure our communities is right. our educational system is right. you change all those things and the top automatically changes. washington said be people of virtue. this guy is as far away as people can get. >> glenn, the job report came out on friday. the administration has been on its heels. >> he promised us it would never go over 8%. it's not over 8%. pay no attention to those numbers you're seeing. >> so my math is bad. having said that and i apologize that. >> you got the bad math from the last administration. >> 9.1% unemployment right now so the president sat down and essentially said this to struggling americans. >> we were on the verge of going into a great depression, i mean, the auto example was one example of what could have happened in the financial sector, what could have happened in a whole bunch of areas. that, obviously, doesn't make

you feel better if you don't have a job right now. and so to those who are still unemployed, my main message to them is every day, i get up and ask myself, what more can i be doing? so what they should know is they've got a president who is on their side. >> glenn, is he attacking the jobs -- the jobs problem we have with the same vigor that you'd want a president to? >> i think he's attacking, yeah, he's attacking the problem. >> in what way? >> pardon me? >> in what way? i think that would be for you to decide on how he's attacking but i think he is attacking. >> what's his goal? >> that would be for you to decide. let's take him at his word. >> he's trying to -- he's trying to fix things. he says that we were on the verge of the great depression. and g.m. is just an example of what could have happened. let me tell you something, we're on the verge. mark my words, i've been saying this since tarp -- since before tarp, we are on the verge now of a great, great depression. we are digging ourselves so

deeply into a hole and we are having -- he put so many regulations on small businesses and small banks, small banks don't have a problem. it's the large banks. why are they attacking the small banks? i was talking to a small banker last weekend and he said glenn, this is our small bank, our fdic insurance has gone from $500,000 a year to $3 million a year. now what small business can take on that kind of a jump? and they're worried about rising health care costs? they're putting the small banks out of business and they're the ones that help small business create jobs. >> so you think it's coming? >> yeah, it is coming. george soros is prepared, everyone has prepared. no one has prepared the american people, the american people are the way out. we will survive but now it's going to be a harder road out. we have to depend on each other. the help -- you didn't see anybody screaming in joplin for

fema trucks. people in joplin were helped by their neighbors. the other people in joplin and the churches all around from all over states, the american people are going to be the ones that set this right. depend on them. >> the spirit is there. we see that every time there's a tragedy like that. >> glenn's shirt, not the one that you're sweating in right now. but a new one. >> you can't buy this. you can't buy this. >> this is coming up ahead straight in our show, rick harrison, he's one of the pawn stores and he's here to cut us a deal on some of our own personal belongings. i think steve and i are going to go head to head, aren't we? >> thank you -- >> and rick santorum makes it official, he's running for president. the former senator here next telling the white house to watch out! santorum in the house. ♪

>> welcome back, everyone. the g.o.p. presidential field is growing and a new face is in the field this morning. >> i'm announcing today that i'm running for president of the united states. join the fight! join the fight! >> that is rick santorum. a new poll shows that most americans feel that mitt romney is more qualified to be the presidential nominee. joining me right now is rick santorum, good morning to you. >> good morning, gretchen. how are you this morning? >> i'm doing just fine. you're coming off the heels of your big announcement and you'll be questioned right away by some of the polls out there and the latest one shows that 49% of the american people like mitt romney. how do you combat those numbers? >> you come here to des moines, iowa, and you go around the state of iowa, new hampshire, south carolina, those are the

first three primary states and you work hard. you build your base here. you get in front of people who will be the decision makers as to how the field is going to be winnowed out and you look at the polls after that. you can't worry about national polls. they are meaningless at this point. you really do your work as to where the election is and the first election is the caucuses here in iowa. >> interesting thing is john mccain who ultimately ended up being the nominee, i think, polled last in the iowa caucuses initially. obviously your team has looked at that research. >> yeah, look, it's -- this is the beginning, yesterday was the announcement. we're at the beginning of this process. we have, you know eight, nine months to go before the primaries and caucuses begin to happen and, you know, the field isn't even set yet. so we have plenty of opportunity with debate next week in new hampshire and other debates to make our case and to have people examine the record that i've put forward of being a consistent

conservative, someone you can count on, someone who is authentic and someone who will tell you what you believe and follow through both in his personal life as well as in his professional life and what he articulates. >> on this show, we interview a lot of the candidates like yourself and it seems, just my personal opinion, that right now until you get more of that debate mode that none of the candidates want to say anything negative about anyone in the field. do you need to do that to set things apart? >> you'll have to talk about how candidates are different and the debate will do that. i've been pretty free in saying where i disagree with folks in the field right now and we'll be very free in doing so in the future. you have to differentiate yourself. people have to know what your record is, what you've done in the past, why you've done it in the past. none of us are perfect. all of us have things we have to defend. that's part of the process and, you know, what -- look, people are looking for someone who is going to go out and be, you know, is going to confront

whoever the opponent is and that's going to be ultimately barack obama and we need to have someone who can go and win that race by being aggressive and showing that in the primary, i think it's an important key. >> in fact, yesterday, you said watch out, white house, were you mainly talking about the economy? is that what this election will come down to? >> i don't think there's any question that's the central issue here that this president has put the economy in the ditch. he's done nothing but drive it further in the ditch with his policies on spending, with his father on overregulation of business and imposing more and more mandates on the small business sector glenn was talking about earlier and he's crushing the job killing engine and he's really put everybody on the sidelines and we're not going to get this economy turned around until we repeal a lot of things that president obama has put in place and we put a president in there who is going to be leaning forward and saying we want to work with the business community. we want the private sector to grow, not pass a stimulus package which most of which was

designed to help states and local governments keep public employees on line so they can contribute money to the democratic party. >> well, you said the other day that you were officially in it to win it. we've heard that phrase before on "american idol." many people familiar with it and now they're getting more familiar with you. rick santorum. thanks so much for being our guest this morning. >> thank you. rick santorum.com i'd appreciate it. >> all right. good to see you. >> despite some sleazy photos, congressman anthony weiner says he's not going to resign but can he win another election or is the end of the road for him? an image expert will break it all down for us. and your trash might be his treasure. pawn star rick harrison is here to wheel and deal with our personal stuff. coming up next. i'm phil mickelson, pro golfer.

serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervo system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whetr you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have beetreated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. get back to the things that matter most. good job girls. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. not only kills fleas and tick it repels most ticks before they can attach and snk on us. frontline plus kills but doesn't repel. any tick that isn't repelled or killed may attach and make a meal of us.

>> hey, glad you're here. time for your numbers by the numbers. first 25%. that's the percentage g.o.p. presidential candidate tim pawlenty reportedly plans to cap your tax bill at. he's announcing his full economic policies in a big speech this morning so pay attention. next, 30%. that's how many companies will likely cut off health coverage to employees once provisions of the new health care law kick in in 2014. that according to a survey by the mckinsly quarterly which i subscribe to and finally, six. that's -- that number is the one i want to emphasize. a mother gave birth to septuplets. they're on ventilators getting nutritional treatment. we wish them the best.

>> thank you very much, from trash to treasures you may want to think twice before throwing stuff out of your house. it might be worth more than you think. in his hit show "pawn stars" our next guest sees the priceless, worthless and hidden gems. >> that's what everybody is hoping for. rick harrison is the host of "pawn stars" and he's our guest this morning. >> how often do people call you porn stars as brian did earlier? >> it happens more than you think. especially if they have like a brooklyn accent or something like that. >> yes. he has a long island accent. that's how it sounded a little pornish instead of pawnish. how did you get into the business? >> i've been doing this my whole life and buying and selling stuff since i was 13 years old and my parents grew up in san diego, parents went broke in the last real estate bust and we moved to vegas. dad opened a little secondhand store, eventually we got a pawn license and worked for years and next thing you know, i had a

television show. >> no kidding and you're very, very popular. and you know, traditionally when people think of pawn shops, you think of that's kind of the last resort. i am so out of cash, i'm going to have to hock grandma's ring. >> my pawnshop is a lot different than other ones. pawn licenses in las vegas are like down south with liquor licenses. they're very expensive. they're millions of dollars in vegas for a license. and large corporations ended up buying the other pawnshops so i figured instead of competing directly against them, i'll make my shop different and that's why i have the pawnshop with stuff on the wall. >> you have really valuable stuff in there. steve and i bought in some stuff from our house. priceless stuff. you go first. >> all right. this has been -- this has been a family treasure for over a week. it's some sort of an egg thing with another egg thing inside. and it came in a bark box. it's got to be -- what are you willing to give me today for it?

>> absolutely nothing. >> no! >> all right,>> i thought it was a fabrige egg. >> it's a fabri-something. >> first, i have two little trinkets. this is my childhood charm bracelet. >> you went a lot of places. >> yeah. with charms from all over the united states and the rest of the world. >> it's charming. >> uh-huh. >> and i look -- >> it's valuable to me but i don't know if it's valuable to you. >> it's worth a little bit. most of them are sterling silver, price of silver is $36 an ounce and change. you have like $100 worth of silver there. >> ok. >> now, this is the gown that i wore at the miss america pageant. >> oh. >> that, i mean -- >> it's worth a lot in weight, i can tell you that. >> that, i have no idea. i don't know everything. >> you don't deal in dresses. >> i don't deal in dresses but i can tell you if you put it in a charity auction, you'd probably get a lot of money for some charity for it. >> right. which i'm not about to part with it yet. >> i'm willing to spend -- to

sell this right now on the spot with whatever you got in your pocket. >> nothing. nothing. >> that's -- >> how about for -- >> what will you give me the black berry? >> here's some of the stuff that you've had. you had a world series ring at your place worth 100 grand. >> no, some of my super bowl rings are. >> super bowl rings. >> right now, i have four super bowl rings. i think i have two world series rings. i have a -- like 50 bowl rings. i got a lot of sports stuff. >> and sinatra gold record? >> yep. that i'm not selling. that, i'm not going to sell. i'm from las vegas and sinatra is like the coolest guy in las vegas. you'll pawn it your way. he has a brand new book out called "license to pawn." nice to meet you. >> thanks, guys. >> continued success. >> $3, not too late! $3, rick. >> nah. >> i'll give it to you. >> coming up on our show, the evidence becoming more damaging by the day. new revelations from the casey anthony murder trial. what could come out today. >> and then behind closed doors

the story was over, and let's see if it bottoms out now or gets bigger. let's go right to your headlines. family friends and volunteers are taking to the streets in bloomington, indiana looking for a missing indiana university student. it's 20-year-old lauren aspira last seen walking back to her apartment early friday morning after a night out at a bar. she's 4'11", 100 pounds, has a heart defect and requires medication. spierer just finished her sophomore year at university. new video from hamburg, iowa where people are piling sandbags on a failing levee. they're trying to contain raging floodwaters from the missouri river. about half of the town's 1100 residents already forced out of their houses. look at that. if it doesn't work, parts of hamburg could be under eight feet of water for a month. >> now, let's talk about the caylee anthony case, the casey anthony case but the body of the

2-year-old caylee wasn't left in her mom casey's car. the inventer of a new technique for detecting decomposing bodies. he described about what he smelled from the pontiac. >> the odor was extremely overwhelming and i was shocked that little bitty can could have that much odor. the reason we progressed is because the chloroform was shockingly high, unusually high. >> that trial resumes just 90 minutes from now. on the stand today, a handler of a cadaver dog and an f.b.i. expert who will testify about chloroform. brian? >> the titanic sequel not starring leonardo dicaprio. i forgot how that ends. >> not well. >> ok, good. thanks, steve. a boat named titanic ii sank in england on its maiden voyage.

the captain of the boat was heading into the harbor when it suddenly sprang a leak. the song began playing and the sink began sinking but it wasn't an iceberg that sank his boat. it was just a repair job that gave out. why anyone would buy a boat named titanic one or two is beyond me. >> maybe they did it for publicity and sunk it on purpose. you never know. well, she has captivated tv viewers as joan harris, my favorite television show, the competent and complicated ad agency manager on "mad men". joining us this morning, the gorgeous christina hendricks. good morning to you. >> good morning. so great to meet you in person. oftentimes we have so many stars on this show. this is my favorite tv show. >> switch seats with gretchen. let's be honest. why are we keeping these two apart? >> i love that show and love her character on it. >> thank you very much. very fun to play. >> and people are waiting with baited breath for the new season but there's some weirdness there because usually one season starts, you know, after the summer and stuff like that.

what's going on behind the scenes? >> well, we did 13 episodes a year like most cable shows and we are going back a few months later so we'll be airing a few months later. >> why is that? what's going on? >> there was some renegotiating stuff. our contract was up and they needed to figure everything out and they have and we're excited to get back to work. and we can't wait. >> when's the debut of the new season? >> i actually can't even tell you that. because i don't know. >> all right. there's a lot of cliffhangers going on that your fans are going to wait extra time for the season to start to see how they pan out because you are in a very interesting situation, right? >> i am -- i'm in an interesting situation. to say the least. expand is the right word. >> my character is a married woman but she also has an ongoing relationship with her boss at work. and the season ends with -- with her being pregnant and we'll have to wait and see --

>> with the boss' kid. >> oopsy daisy. >> oopsies. >> yeah, and then, of course, your husband on the show is overseas, right? he's serving in the military. >> yes, he is. yeah. so anything could happen. >> that is a crazy office you work at. >> there's some crazy stuff happening in that office. >> those were the days, weren't they? >> debauchery. terrible! >> what year is it actually? >> the last season 4 ended in 1965. >> uh-huh. >> and there was so much -- the amaze thing to me is how much smoking and drinking is going on in the office back then. times have certainly changed from that perspective. >> really? in your office? >> yeah, as far as i know. >> not the drinking. >> maybe not on capitol hill but here at fox, i think so. let me talk about one thing that's made you become so famous and that is you seem to be so comfortable with who you are, look at that beautiful photo and all your curves associated and i think it makes you a wonderful role model for women because you're not completely obsessed

with being stick thin. >> thank you. i just try to be true to myself. this is how i was born, how -- my mom looks the same way. i was born that way! so thank you for saying that and i've gotten some really positive feedback and it's been really, really kind and i'm just trying to -- just trying to be myself. >> yeah, i think you got more accolades coming your way for your performance in the upcoming movie "company". >> yes. you know, we did the performance at lincoln center this past month. >> with steven colbert? >> a bunch of great people. neil patrick harris starred in it. we did four performances which was not enough so they did record it and it's going to be in movie theaters starting june 15th and i'm excited about that. >> i know the guys know a lot about what you'll be talking about what is matisse. you want to have long eyelashes, right? >> more than anything. i think about it every day. pro curve and pro eyelash.

>> you are? >> this is perfect! >> you have it for a great cause, correct? >> it is. i've working with them and they're working on the make a wish foundation, on the latissechallenge.com. and basically over the past few years, the latisse group has contributed $1.5 million towards the make a wish foundation and they're trying to do another $500,000 this year so they can do a wish in every chapter across north america which is pretty exciting. >> who did you get to meet as a kid that affected your life and you get to meet as an adult now? >> when i was young, it was my first experience with the make a wish foundation was a young girl in my class had a life threatening disease and she was in the make a wish foundation and her wish was to meet eric estrada from "chips" and he came and met her and we thought it was the coolest thing ever. >> pancho! >> i know, i got to meet him years later and he relayed that story and he remembered.

it was really special so it's really great to be working with them and it's like a perfect tie-in, the two of them, you know, on the tradition of making a wish on an eyelash. it makes sense. that's exciting. >> let's hope they make a lot of money. >> i hope so. you can go to latissewisheschallen latissewisheschallenge.com. and you can get all the information. >> look forward to the steamy scenes on "mad men". >> we're pro steam and we're pro curve. >> and the smoking and the drinking. >> there you go. >> thank you, guys. >> straight ahead, it's summer. that means picnics, barbecues and beach outings and what could do it better than paula deen? she's dishing up some of her favorite summer snacks from her brand new house in savannah. we'll take you there. >> is this the end of the road for anthony weiner? i don't know, he might not be in a good mood today. can the congressman rebound from the risque pics? an image expert breaks down his future straight ahead. aaah!

and all we need to do is change the way we're thinking about them. a couple decades ago, we didn't even realize just how much natural gas was trapped irocks thounds of feet below us. technology has made it possible to safely unlock

this cleanly burning natural gas. this deposits can provide us with fuel for a hundred years, providing energy security and economic growth all across this country. it just takes somebody having thidea, and that's where the discovery comes from.

>> all right. we have some quick headlines for you from the newsroom control room, a new delay in the trial of jared loughner, the guy accused in those deadly tucson shootings. his lawyer says she can't get prosecutors the information they want because loughner has been declared mentally incompetent to stand trial. and the black bear sighting in springville, utah, a family snapped these photos of the animal roaming around outside their cabin. campground nearby says it will stay closed until the bear is trapped and moved. all right, mr. kilmeade, up to you. >> new york congressman anthony

weiner apologizing for sending racy messages via twitter. >> i want to make it clear i've made terrible mistakes and i've hurt the people i care about the most and i'm deeply sorry. i have not been honest with myself, my family, my constituents, my friends. and supporters and the media. >> 27 minutes later, he was done but is he? can his image ever recover? public relations and image consultant joins us in studio. frasier, how did he do yesterday? >> what a disaster. just a complete disaster. he should have done this last week. this is -- this is -- i've never seen anybody fall so precipit s precipitously so quickly, he would be the p.r. client from hell. i think you're overstating it. can we cut that out? first off, the fact that he said i'm sorry over and over again and took questions, some say that was laudable and that would be the beginning of the rehab. >> what the bottom line is he

said i'm going to stick it out. that's one option. it's a bad option. he's going to tough it out. this is the rangel rope-a-dope. the only one to talk to him in the congress is charlie rangel. he's a marked man. it's a pariah corner. that's a bad option. >> what's the second option? patrick kennedy did, you said. >> patrick kennedy, this is a modified mia copa, he crashed a car into a barricade on capitol hill. he said i suffer from depression, addiction to painkillers. he went to the mayo clinic and he came back to congress, stayed a little while. i think this guy has too much baggage. i mean, the media are on him. he's got other women in the woodwork. what he ought to do, it seems to me, what i would recommend is that he just get out. he take time off, he resign from the congress, he say i'm sick. he does what tiger woods did, what david duchovney did and say i have a sex addiction, i'm going to get treated.

he finds somebody and in two years, he makes a comeback. >> well, that would be a scenario and if you look at what's happening, elliot spitzer had to cover this story, he's over and got a primetime show now and you would argue that is just add scandalous as this. >> what happens is americans and people around the world are forgiving. they will forgive. so this guy goes away, 2013, there's a mayoral election in new york city, you know, i wouldn't be surprised if a refreshed, reinvigorated, repentant anthony weiner tosses his drawers into the ring. >> have you ever seen somebody defend himself so vociferously days before he admits to himself that he was lying to almost every other journalist? >> you know what it is, brian, the thing is the first thing you do in a case like this, when you're advising somebody, you say what is the worst case? what is the worst thing they can ask you? he didn't think two steps in advance. what's really amazing is this guy was articulate, you know, he was -- he's kind of a fighter,

you would have thought that he would have listened to advice, taken advice but no, he was arrogant, gets him every time. >> even one of the women said he was very full of himself. they should have called you. public relations and image consultant, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> all right. 13 minutes before the top of the hour. next on the rundown, celebrity chef paula deen dishes her secret recipes for the summer and guess what? the summer is almost here.

>> gretchen: good morning, everyone. hope you're having a fantastic tuesday. it's june 7.

i'm gretchen carlson. anthony wiener admits he sent those sex messages and he lied about it at the same time, but he won't be taken down by them. >> to be clear, the pick was of me and i sent it but i'm not resigning. >> gretchen: can he survive the political pressure cooker in the coming days? >> steve: he only broke his silence because they did first. the women who forced the congressman out of hiding. here is one. >> there is way more girls out there. this is not just me which i thought at the time. this is something that's regular. >> steve: he said there were six. how many could there be? one of the women speaking out today on fox. >> brian: okay. there is never a dull moment when you're a member of the kardashian family. kourtney and khloe here live answering your e-mails. talk about brand-new, we have a brand-new hour because "fox & friends" starts right now. >> my day is not a day without

starting with y'all. >> steve: hi, paula. welcome back. can you hear us? >> gretchen: we had a few technicalities with paula. >> steve: unfortunately for anthony wiener, yesterday he could hear the questions from the reporters shouted to him at the sheraton midtown right here in manhattan. these are some of the shots he sent to various women across the country even though he didn't know whether or not they were old enough to receive dirty stuff like that. what he revealed yesterday at his press conference is he has been sexting for a while and over the last week, he's been a serial liar. >> brian: lying to every network, every reporter who he invited to explain himself. then finally the truth, we think, wiener yesterday. >> yesterday i sent a picture that i intend to do send as a joke. once i realized i posted to

twitter, i panicked and took it down and said i was hacked. i continued with that story, to stick to that story which was a hugely regrettable mistake. i have exchanged messages and photos of an explicit nature with six women over the last three years. for the most part these communications took place before my marriage, but some have sadly took place after. to be clear, the picture was of me and i sent it. i am deeply sorry for the pain this has caused my wife and our family. >> gretchen: it's such a situation when you're a parent. you wonder how do we teach our kids to not make these mistakes and sexting has become so popular with kids and now we're seeing adults make these mistakes. you got to wonder why. that's the big question, is it a power thing? what is it? or there are so many more people doing this that we don't know about? >> steve: exactly right. we talked about kids sexting,

but how many spouses are sexting to various people? i am so happy that his wife was not standing up there like mrs. spitser where she listened to her husband talk about how he liked hookers. it would be crazy to see his wife of less than one year behind him as he talked about having ongoing relations with at least a half dozen women over the last three years. >> brian: let's talk about why he's keeping his job. he wants to. what else is he going to do? nancy pelosi, who got the word about this situation from anthony wiener before and there was one report that she wanted him to resign and he's not. >> steve: she still wants him to. >> gretchen: i am deeply saddened and disappointed about the situation for his wife, family and constituents. i am calling for an ethics investigation to determine whether any official resources were used or any other violations of house rules occurred. so they're going to have an ethics investigation, a subcommittee come up with conclusions and have recommendations and then bring it up to a floor vote, if it gets that far.

if we see other women come forward, if they turned out to be underage, how could he possibly keep his job? the other thing -- >> gretchen: other people. that's the interesting thing. >> brian: it was a surreal moment because he had an opening act. andrew breitbart, wrongly accused of hacking into his account, by anthony wiener who had to give up his three days defending himself. he happened to be there, he went behind the microphone and explained himself. here is andrew breitbart yesterday on what he expected to hear when he was done. >> i am not enjoying this. i am torn between, you know, journalism, my desire to forgive the man for whatever private sins he had, but had i not shown these photos today, he would have continued down a campaign of smearing me and it was about

vindication. >> steve: it was about vindication and during the opening act, as you characterized brian, where he was up on the stage at the sheraton, one of the things he requested was, i want an apology from anthony wiener. during mr. wiener's comments, eventually, even though he was asked a couple of times, he eventually did apologize. he apologized to andrew breitbart, his wife, his family and colleagues. interestingly enough, he did not apologize to members of congress for being disrepute to the house of representatives because then it would look like he had done something wrong. some of the women are speaking out. there is a woman who has spoken to a number of news outlets, 40-year-old black jack dealer by the name of lisa and apparently she says that she had phone sex with him on a government phone. if that's the case, he's in big trouble. >> gretchen: the interesting thing is whether or not there will be any criminal charges here. it's one thing to have the ethics committee now looking

into his behavior. will there be -- think will charlie rangel. he's still in office and david vitter, arguably a felony there on the republican and democrat side. that could be criminal. but the judge earlier said that he did not believe, so far, that anything was criminal, but we're just on the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. what really sparked this whole thing and anthony wiener having to tell the truth is that the women were starting to come out and speak their truth. one of them is meghan broussard. here is a snippet from her interview with sean hannity. >> when that photo of his private areas came in, you know, you're 26-year-old girl, this is a 46-year-old congressman, recently married, what did you think then? >> i just thought at the time there's got to be something. this is not just me. there is nothing like oh, this is special about me that -- there is just a lot more girls.

what i thought at the time that this is something that's regular, that he's done all the time. he's comfortable. >> steve: she is going to be on the hannity program tonight, 9:00 o'clock eastern time if you would like to see more from her. he, we should point out, is not going to quit. he said i'm refusing to quit. it will be up to the people of his district whether or not they return him. but after he has lied to so many people with over the last ten days, how long can anybody trust him? >> gretchen: that would be up to his party and the we wants in his area. what are other people thinking? dan from camden -- is this arkansas? i believe so. he's as low and untrustworthy as it gets and that's why i e-mailed my congressman asking that his security clearance be revoked. >> brian: what's with new york? paul says, i think he should resign. if he was deeply, deeply sorry, i could forgive him. but deeply sorry is just not enough. >> steve: i think he's deeply sorry he got caught. mike from connecticut says,

anyone who takes pictures of him or herself is a nare city cyst. he should not be in public office. he is a disgrace to this country. he needs psychiatric help. i was surprised, i thought at one point he would say, i've got a problem and i'm going to go to the betty ford clinic or wherever. >> brian: like tiger woods did. >> steve: but he said no, i had a problem, i did some dumb stuff, but i'll take care of it myself. >> steve: really? >> gretchen: i don't understand all that sex rehab stuff anyway, but that's just me. here is a tweet. what a joke he is. this is what we think. not surprising, he thought he could get away with it. what an ego. another tweet, incredible lack of character and integrity. i feel sorry for his wife. >> brian: tweet finally? >> steve: this guy should go absolutely. as steve said, he lied to everybody close to him, yet now we should trust him? so for the time being, he is still a congressman from new york just like charlie rangel.

>> brian: what's on your mind? you're really concerned about the economy. you're concerned about the 9.1% unemployment and housing. so is the president. he tried to explain himself and talk about why his economic goals have not been reached and he did it by blaming bush. listen. >> we were on the verge of going into a great depression. the auto example was one example of what could have happened in the financial sector. what could have happened in a whole bunch of areas. that obviously doesn't make you feel better if you don't have a job right now and so to those who are still unemployed, my main message to them is every day, i get up and ask myself, what more can i be doing? so what they should know is they got a president who is on their side. >> gretchen: what does the public feel about the president right now? initially he had a little bit of a blip on the uptick after the killing of osama bin laden. right now this is the latest poll on job approval. the approval rates 47%. the disapproval rate is 49%.

and how do you feel about him handling the economy in general? 40% approve. 59% disapprove. and i think we all know on this couch and across america that this whole election is going to come down to the economy. can this president fix it before 2012 or will it be up to a republican? >> rick: speaking of republicans and the presidential race coming up in 2012, "washington post" also did a head to head matchup with five different republicans and mitt romney of all of them did the best. he is in a statistical tie with the president of the united states. that can't be good news for the people at 1600 pennsylvania. >> gretchen: your headlines, fox news alert. new video of west miami, florida street closed to traffic as this brush fire continues to grow. it's been burning three whole days. so far about ten miles of road blocked off. miami-dade firefighters on the scene trying to control this fire. it's believed atv riders may be responsible for sparking the

first flames. another one bites the dust. you know that song. well, now it's one of the president's top economic advisors. austan goolsbee calling it quits. he's the fifth to bolt from the economic team since taking office. he is returning to his teaching job at the university of chicago. new video from tripoli, libya, where nato pounding gadhafi targets. rare daytime air strikes. low flying nato planes are hitting tripoli with 11 successsive attacks. smoke seen rising from gadhafi's compound and earlier strike hit the headquarters of libyan state tv. robert gates due to land in brussels in about an hour for nato meetings. after wrapping up a farewell tour of afghanistan. before leaving, gates told the service members there that they are on track to deliver a knockout blow to the taliban. >> i think you also have to ask the question, what's the cost of failure? we've invested a huge amount of money here. we've invested 1254 lives up to

this point. so what's the cost of getting it wrong? >> gretchen: recent reports say that the obama administration may push for a steeper withdrawal, pulling more troops than previously expected. those are your headlines. >> brian: now 12 minutes after the hour. we forge ahead. forensic evidence is becoming more damaging by the day in the casey anthony trial. after the break, an attorney for casey anthony's parents on what he thinks could happen next. >> steve: it's always high drama when you're in this family. coming up, two of the sisters are giving us a glimpse of life as a kardashian. khloe and kourtney here on the curvy couch to answer your tweets. so twitter us, people! i'm phil mickelson, pro golfer.

if you have painful, swollen joints, i've been in your shoes. one day i'm on p of the world... the next i'm saying... i have this thing called psoriatic arthritis. i had some intense pain. it progressively got worse. my rheumatologist told me about enbrel. i'm surprid how quickly my symoms have beemanaged. [ male announcer ] because enbrel suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections.

serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervo system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whetr you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have beetreated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. get back to the things that matter most. good job girls. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you.

>> gretchen: welcome back. day 12 now of the casey anthony murder trial getting underway in less than an hour. the latest damaging testimony

from an expert in human decomposition who says his tests prove human remains were in casey anthony's car, but the defense trying to debunk him. >> you are not a chemist? >> correct. >> you are not an analytical chemist? >> correct. >> you're not a biochemist? >> correct. >> and therefore, you really can't testify as to the chemistry and the make-up of things of which you have no experience. correct? >> gretchen: he's the anthony family's attorney and is my guest right now. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> gretchen: this is really groundbreaking as far as any kind of trial has been. right? this is the first time that this specific kind of scientific evidence has been allowed in the courtroom? >> correct. it's like the dna that we all have come to rely on being used for the first time. >> gretchen: so tell us, as easily as you can for those of

us who are not scientist, exactly what is the technique? >> well, certainly the technique is analysis of the gas compounds that are emitted from a decomposing body as it relates to surrounding air. so apparently the doctor has done several studies regarding this and he believes he's been able to track down and analyze the types of gas of a decomposing body will emit. >> gretchen: this would be groundbreaking. whether or not the jury will believe it. i mean, i guess that's the central question here because many people are saying that this could be like the o. j. simpson glove moment where the prosecutors thought, well, for sure we'll have him try it on and then it didn't fit. it had a reverse reaction. what do you think about that? >> i think in this circumstance, they're really going to look at the totality of all of the evidence that's being presented and not just the gas itself

because he also has a hair band sample, plus all the actions of miss anthony, the defendant. when you look at the totality of the circumstances, i think that's what the jury would be analyzing versus just this one particular issue. >> gretchen: so were you sitting in the courtroom to hear this testimony yesterday? >> i was there in the afternoon yesterday listening to the cross-examination by mr. baes. >> gretchen: in your analysis, was this effective? if you had been sitting on the jury, would you have bought this? >> it's always difficult to know what a jury is thinking, but it certainly an eye opener to say the least. i think the science is difficult to understand, but i think dr. voss did a pretty good job and i think the prosecution did a pretty good job in flushing out what needed to be said. i think mr. baez did a relatively good job at the beginning of his cross-examination and then kind of went south from there.

but i have no idea what the jury is thinking. >> gretchen: exactly. mark, the attorney upon the an ton -- anthony family, thank you very much. how this piece of jewelry saved the life of one man trying to protect his wife. and jeff bridges known for going off beat. >> you're mr. la bowsky. i'm the dude, so that's what you call me. >> gretchen: what's the dude? with virginia governor bob mcdonald. that's an interesting pairing. we'll explain it to you coming up. i'm chef michael,

and my dog bailey and i love to hang out in the kitchen. you love the aroma of beef tenderloin, don't you? you inspired a very special dog food. [ female announcer ] chef michael's canine creations. chef inspired. dog desired.

>> steve: all right. some quick headlines. down, down, down, down. new reports showing the dollar hitting a one-month low against the euro and an all-time low versus the swiss franc. it has been weakened over worries of the economic recovery and u.s. interest rates as well. talk about lucky charms, a convenience store owner saved by two gold medallions on his necklace that stopped a bullet from killing him. a robber tried to shoot him in the chest, but the medallions deflected the bullet and the clerk lives to tell of the tale. mr. kilmeade, up to you and a couple of special guests. >> brian: you know him as the dude from the big la bosky, now jeff bridge social security is taking on a brand-new role to end child hunger in america.

watch. >> look around you. one in four kids in the u.s. faces hunger. it's not always easy to see the signs, but in this land of plenty, there are kids that don't know where they will get their next meal. join share our strength atd into network and take the pledge to end childhood hunger here in america. >> brian: now people have and he's teaming up with virginia governor bob mcdonald to unveil the new programs. joining us to talk about this is governor bob mcdonald and jeff bridges. welcome to both of you guys. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having us. >> brian: first off, i was shocked at this. you have 16.7 american kids, nearly one in four living in households that don't have access to enough nutritional food. jeff, how did you become aware of this? >> well, i started working with the hunger issue back in '83 and originally -- ending hunger internationally, and then my organization, the end hunger

network, we shifted to hunger here in america because it was starting to raise its head here in our country. we figured we couldn't be telling other people about ending hunger while we had the problem right here. >> brian: so virginia signed up five states to help. right, governor? >> yeah. we're kicking off our program today and secretary of agriculture, tom vilsack will be at an school in arlington, virginia this afternoon at 2:00 o'clock to kick off the campaign. we're real excited a public-private partnership between corporate sponsors, food bank of virginia, and jeff's network and sos will all be together to focus on increasing access to existing federal programs. we're not expanding it. we're making greater awareness so kids can use after school programs and summer programs and backpack programs to be able to get the food nutrition they need. >> brian: jeff, it's interesting because kids look forward to summer. when they go to school, they're guaranteed food because the programs are there in place.

but in summer, it becomes a little bit more hard. correct? >> that's right. we've got 21 million kids in our country who can count on three or price reduced lunches at school. but during the summer time, for the same kids, only 3 million kids are taking advantage of the free summer meals. and that's what one of the reasons i'm here is to talk about that and to encourage families to know about these summer meals that are available. >> brian: yeah. this is a program that you can put into place and you can afford to pay for, governor. jeff, you picked a good state to get involved with because governor, you're in a surplus. in a country that's having trouble, having to cut back and worried about our deficit, what's virginia doing to get in fiscally good shape? >> we made a lot of tough choices last year and cut things we thought were less important so we could fund the priorities.

we focused a lot on job creation. that's what honestly has driven the revenue increases this year. we'll have our second surplus this year. we think no matter what the economic climate, for young kids to go hungry is just a shame. virginia is one of the most prosperous states in the union, and yet 219,000 virginia kids are rated as food insecure, at risk of going hungry. that's just a shame. so we really want to ratchet up the focus, the awareness and access through existing programs that really won't cost the state much at all. a lot of private donations are going into this, to jeff's network and sos and we think it's going to be a great kickoff today. >> brian: governor, be honest. when you look at jeff and you're very close to him right now, couldn't this guy slide right into washington seamlessly, with that beard, that suit on. that guy looks like a politician! [ laughter ] >> but he doesn't act like one. he's a straight shooter. i'm looking forward to teaming up with him 'cause this is a nonpartisan issue that we can all agree on.

>> brian: all right. thanks for coming out of hollywood for us, jeff. governor mcdonnel, always nice to have you. thanks. >> thank you. >> brian: meanwhile, straight ahead, anthony wiener admits he lied and that goes against the house rules. but some say the main stream media could come to the rescue and actually save his political career. peter johnson, jr., one man, three names, will explain. and khloe and kourtney kardashian are getting final touchups before heading to the curvy couch. they'll be tweeting about their appearance here. a brand-new season on the hit reality show and kim's engaged to a new jersey net. we'll find out the details. ♪ birds flying high

>> brian: you're watching a shin kicking contest in england. it's part soccer, part wrestling, 100% painful. the winner is the last man standing. the fighters don't protect their shines with pads. they're only allowed to stuff straw into their pants. >> steve: excuse me? >> brian: those are your headlines. >> gretchen: that's some sort of a traditional thing there? >> brian: steve and gretchen, i have to sigh, i'm not a shin kicking expert. >> gretchen: is that right? 400 years? i'll get that next time i forget to get my kids' shin guards. >> steve: there is always plenty of drama when you get the kardashian family together under one roof. >> who? >> if you want it, guess an compare. >> silicone. >> kris humphreys. i love you.

>> you're going to bora bora! >> this is a huge test of your relationship. >> gretchen: the new season of "keeping up with the kardashians" starts on sunday. welcome back, sisters. >> thanks for having us. i love that the segueway into us is a shin kicking contest. >> gretchen: that's mild compared to some of the stuff that's been on. >> yeah. i was sitting here like, oh, god, which one is going to say that. >> brian: can i say this? you guys are a physical family. you're always wrestling, grabbing each other. it's all right when the sisters grab each other. >> mostly her and i. >> but it used to be, ever since she had the baby, 'cause then i couldn't for nine months, obviously. now i'm like over it. it's not as fun with her. >> steve: there is a shot of your mother. we understand that in the upcoming season, she's thinking about changing her name? >> that's true. >> steve: why? >> why do you think?

>> 'cause jenner was cool in '76. so now we're moving on to kardashian. >> gretchen: doesn't that move she's moving on if her current husband? >> i don't approve of it and you'll see, like i think you're married and you've been married for 20 years, you've been a jenner for 20 years, hold on to it. but you'll see -- 'cause every -- there are so many sibling, we all have a different opinion about it. you see it all play out. she stills loves him, but if i was him -- obviously they're married. i would be so insulted. >> steve: no kidding. >> gretchen: but you're not married. >> right. >> gretchen: you have a child with your boyfriend, scott. and now apparently you want to have another child potentially? >> i think i'm good right now with mason and focusing on him. but, you know, it's nice -- i think the best gift you can give is a sibling.

so i don't know. i'm like i need some time for a second. >> but she goes through phases. she'll go through, i want another baby right now. and then like okay. >> then i'm like, i have my baby. i'm so happy enjoying him. then i always think like if i have another one, like, how am i going to spend this much time with him. >> brian: let's talk about you. you sent kim to new york to go change her life, meet somebody. she meets a new jersey guy. new jersey net. kris hum frees. now all of a sudden, she's going to get married. is the pressure off you to get married? >> everyone is asking me now, so when are you getting married? i'm like, how can i get married now? my sister is getting married. so now i have a lot of time. >> steve: but the thing is, she's really set the bar high. she's winding up with a 20.5 carat ring worth $2 million? >> ka ching. >> diamonds are my birth stone

and i'm not a diamond girl. i couldn't imagine her with a -- kourtney is someone i couldn't imagine her with one. >> i want the tiniest one i could find. like the size of a dot. >> gretchen: let's look -- not like your ring is some little thing. >> i love my ring. >> brian: lamar odom got you that. >> yes. >> gretchen: we asked our viewers to tweet us with questions. if you would oblige us, here is the first one. which sibling annoys you the most? >> brian: khloe, start. >> i think we go -- we definitely have moments of which one, but i would say robert, my brother. >> brian: bothers you? >> bothers me the most. >> brian: kourtney. >> kim. >> i wanted to say kim, but i felt bad. i do want to change my answer to kim, but she's engaged. >> brian: we're live! we're not like your taped show!

haven't. i don't like giving advice unless i'm asked 'cause i don't like to impose information. people get defensive and it's weird and no two relationships are the same. >> brian: you would say the lifestyle is interesting, gone for a while, around for a while, home for the morning. practice. >> lamar and i have an amazing system. every home game, i'm at every home game when lamar is in town. i'm in town. but when lamar is on the road, then i do my road work and i work. but i make that sacrifice 'cause his schedule can't be flexible. mine can. so i don't know if kim wants to do the same. i just can't imagine her living in jersey for 80% of the time. kim is such an l.a. girl. >> steve: the new season starts on sunday. khloe and kourtney kardashian. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> steve: a lot of k's. >> gretchen: coming up, anthony wiener lied and that's against house rules, but some say the press will give him a pass. can the mainstream media really make this go away?

at all times in a manner that shall reflect incredibly on the house. now -- >> steve: that alone. >> i can ask, does this reflect creditably on the house? we have a pattern of lying and deception to the american people and then secondly, we have this conduct in terms of indiscriminate sexting, texting to people who he doesn't know, ages he doesn't know, sending pictures, receiving pictures. so there is a pattern of sensational voyeurism and exhibitionism that brings discredit to the congress. do i feel sorry for him? yes. it was tragic watching him. do we feel sorry for his family and his dear wife who he just married? >> yeah. absolutely. it's sick. but do we as a people deserve better and do we deserve better from the mainstream media? i'm shocked. maybe i'm not shocked, by how few editorials there are in main stream newspapers saying, well,

let's see. it seems to be private conduct. we don't know whether he committed a crime. don't we expect better than just saying, well, he didn't really commit a crime? what if you're doing this at work or someone else is doing it at work, or what if an over the road trucker is doing it or someone in a restaurant or someone in a business office or someone anyone else in the united states and they're engaging in this conduct? are they out of there? there is a good chance that they're out of there. >> steve: because you know what? there seems to be a double standard, that congressman who posed with no shirt on, that was it, he was out in ten seconds. >> i don't want to be a hard guy, no one wants to cast the first stone, but let's be responsible about this. we got a lot of important things in this business. let's not waste our time with this garbage and his garbage. if he needs therapy, get the therapy. but don't do it on our time. move out. >> steve: all right. move out of the house. peter johnson, jr., thank you.
