states begin new buzz surrounding romney's hopeful running man. >> a total of six agents are out and could be more to come, we talk to a man who knows the agency better than almost anyone else. >> it has happened again, a child orders a smoothie and gets a rum surprise instead. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> welcome to "fox & friends", everyone. >>alisyn: i am having a wardrobe malfunction. but i will get it fixed.

>> happy to be here. >> and now that we have finally, we have a g.o.p. presumptive nominee the talk points to who will be pecked for vice president and we are getting interesting takes from different individuals talking about maybe they will and maybe they won't will not be involved in the vice presidential candidate and governor bush, former governor of florida throwing his hat into the ring. >>alisyn: he gave an interview and said something that raised a lot of eyebrows, people thought, well, he is throwing his hat in the ring. listen to what he said. >> well, i cannot speak for governor romney and i can't specific for senator rubio but

if i was on that side of the conversation i would ask and i would hope marco would accept. a lot of things may not make that happen but i'm a great admirer of mitt romney and i'm a huge fan of marco rubio and the combination would be extraordinary. >> i would consider it but i doubt i would get a call and i don't know if it is the right thing for me to do. i did run for president for similar kind of reasons and, i'm all into trying to help him get elects. >>peter: he was throwing water on it but he is saying, well, i have a patriotic obligation if i got the call i would consider it but he is pointing hard to marco rubio. >>alisyn: right. people zeroed in on the "i would consider it," portion of the phrase. probably a mistake because he was trying to re-direct the attention. >>peter: if someone says if

you are the vice presidential candidate, most completions are not going to turn down it because they see it as a solemn obligation. >> that is what governor huckabee has said, although it is like one of the worse jobs in the world, if someone calls you entertain it. but the big headline was rubio saying he would be the best for the job and remember i don't is saying, well, he will stick his team out in the senate and he has in intention of becoming vice president. >> maybe in four or five or six years from now if i do a good job as vice president -- sorry. you got that, right? if i do good job as a senator rather than a vice president i will have a chance to do all sorts of things. >>peter: some kind of slip was

showing. that was pretty interesting, it did not appear to be a joke that he was saying, like, almost, a subconscious thing. is he thing about that? >>alisyn: that was fascinating >>clayton: if you say if i do a good job as vice president, but i am not, if i stick it out as a senator. >>peter: it shows that he sees romney in the presidency for eight years and obviously, well, maybe it is rubio as vice president. >>alisyn: maybe people talk about it so much it planted the seed with him that he did for a moment, there, entertain it, and let it out of his mouth, and people fastened on that. of course they are actually going to be campaigning together this coming week, romney and rubio so we will see about their chemistry. >>clayton: you have had

similar mind slips slips if i ce to do a job as first lady, i mean, as anchor. >>peter: people like that. >>clayton: that is how you are rewarded in politics. another guy who was rewards as senator of west virginia in 2010 against all odds, and that is democratic senator joe mantion and he is saying he is not sure who he will vote for. peter support you look at the people of west virginia to see their thoughts, talk about vice presidential candidates, would he cross the aisle and it would be a bipartisan ticket against president obama? >>alisyn: fascinating.

highly unorthodox a democratic senator says i may not vote for my president. he has always voted to a beat of a different drum. but now the headlines. the investigation into the secret service scandal possibly spreading deeper into the white house this morning with republican senator grassily requesting an official probe into all presidential staff members who were on the trip to colombia or who helped plan it. the number of agents imelected is up to 12 and six have been fired or resigned including a long time supervisor. the newest person involved in the abduction case insists he is not the boy's killer, the attorney telling investigators his client is innocent as the f.b.i. digs up the retired handy map's old basement workshop in new york city for new evidence. the 75-year-old has befriended the six-year-old boy the night before he vanished 33 years ago,

and the body was never been found. coming up on "fox & friends" we have a former f.b.i. investigator who will weigh in on all of the new developments in the fascinating and tragic case. >> a scare not air for vice president biden, air force two streaking a flock of birds while landing in california, but no one was hurt. biden had to take a different plane back to washington, dc and you will remember we told you of another bird strike yesterday, that was a delta flight that had to make an emergency landing with 179 people on board. get birds out of the sky. >> they don't belong this. >>peter: take after the ostrich. just walk. sharks in the ocean. birds in the air. >>clayton: if one man can do it, it is rick. rick: we will see how it goes for me. wet weekend across the east if you enjoyed the last few days,

it is all about to change. we needed the heavy rain. but it will come and it will be a wash up. more tomorrow and the next day. across the west, arizona, phoenix, well, 100-degree temperatures are about to happen and it is early. and in the interior northeast there is snow on the way. here is the stock market across the east coast, the rain is moving here across the appalachians and the southeast we have the rain. it will bring severe weather to florida. maybe flooding. we need that. and you have a system moving into the northern plains bringing in cold air and make the ingredients for the snow and across the west, pure sunshine. a nice day. and now, as you move tonight into tomorrow it becomes like what you thing of a nor'easter and right this, the snow begins on monday. and places could have 6" of snow

so we could have power outages. guys? >> big news from the trayvon martin killing case. george zimmerman will be released on bond getting bail for $150,000. and standing in the courtroom and apologizing to the family. >>alisyn: and what was fascinating the televised hearing was fascinating so many unusual things happened. george zimmerman's appearance looked so different than what we had seen previously. much thenar. -- much thinner. and the fact he was allowed, walking to the witness stand, make a statement to the victim's parents. >>peter: the most dramatic moments you do not see this at bail hearings. here is what he had to say to the parents.

>> i wanted to say i am sorry for the loss of your son. i thought he was younger than i am and i did not know if he was armed. >>alisyn: you obviously have appearances; that allowed? >>peter: he knows his rights. he knows those statements will be dissected and it is a bold controversial move for a trial lawyer to allow a client to do that but he is speaking out to the media, to the community, to the jury pool and the lawyer said he was actually answering the he questions that were raised by trayvon martin's parents in the media and he answered those questions about the age of young trayvon martin whether he thought he was armed and, then, an expression of regret, or apology. then that kills anyone whether it is intentional, whether it is justifiable or justified or not, there is always a sense of regret. >>alisyn: hopefully.

>>peter: so when you see that you say, okay, there is a human element. no one heard him speak before. other than tapes on the 9-1-1. >> tones are saying -- attorneying are saying this is self serving, maybe to sway the public opinion. >>peter: the public opinion has been terribly swayed and what the media has been doing has been despicable with regard to the case. talk about prejudicing a case. >>alisyn: we will debate how the media coverage has been. the prosecutors can not be happy he looked so pathetic. >>peter: they cross-examined him. it did not work. it was fascinating. >>clayton: and more fall intermediate of the prostitution scandal involving the secret service so is the agency's image damned beyond repair? we will ask the man who broke the story straight ahead.

the elite of the elite around the world. is this part of the culture? is this an aberration? forward for the security of our president and vice president? >>guest: this particular animal house behavior is not typical at all but yes we should be concerned. i wrote in my book about dozens of examples of corner cutting. for example, they will let people into events without screening that is like letting people into an airplane without a metal detectors what is more basic? that is much more serious than what happened in colombia and it is a symptom of a lax management culture. this episode in colombia obviously involving idiots, when your bosses violate for for caer

you think you can do the same. >>peter: we read when the president leaves town it is time to party. does that president our president and vice president at risk? should the president do something affirmatively rather than investigating? >>guest: there are parties after the president leaves but we all go to parties and bars bs and drink. that is not the problem. the problem is they could have been blackmailed by the prostitutes and the overall lax culture, the corner cutting that they do not insist on regular physical fitness tests or firearms testing. there is a female agent who is so over weight and out of shape she cannot open the limousine door of the president's let seen so what was the solution? rather than removing her from the presidential detail management said try to park the limousine in a way that will

make it easier for her to open the door. she is a supervisor. what kind of message does that send? and the party crashers at white house, why would the uniform officers ignore they were not on the list? because they figured, gee, if we town them away and they were supposed to be invited maybe we will be in trouble with our management and they will not back us. dick cheney's daughter, mary, would insist that her agents take her to restaurant and they refused, as they should, they are not taxi drivers but she got her detail leader removed over that so the management rather than backing the person who is doing his job removed him. that is the message management is sending. >>peter: in terms of the management, where does the buck stop? department of homeland security runs the secret service. is that a problem? >>guest: that is a problem.

after the secret service became submerged in that the corner cutting began president president bush. and, you asked about president obama, he said, well not amendmentses turn out to be true i'll be angry. they are not allegations they are his own secret service agency that have new confirmed. to be angry is not nexting the problem. >>peter: thank you on this saturday morning. the most powerful federal agency you probably never have heard of. we will tell you how big brother is getting maybe even bigger and a champion body boarder killed by a great white shark. could a there show be to blame? most life insurance companies

this guy is a criminal. he has had numerous brushes with the law. the latest a drug charge. but he cannot be deported by i.c.e. because he has no country of origin because he said he is from palestine a country that the united states, or a region that the united states does not recognize so they cannot deport him to palstein so he stays here. is released. and gets in trouble. >>peter: arrested 35 times from bad checks to assault. no one wants him. we will see what the police chief says. >> they sent a piece of paper that says he will be deported but he will laugh because he knows we will not get him. that is what we were told by i.c.e. >>clayton: at issue is no country of original being from

kosher but it did work for mark rich. you raise money for presidents and you can get special treatment and get pardoned and get special treatment. we saw a big report on lobbying. but $1.6 billion is still miss asking he is able to raise $500,000 for president obama on the one happened but he cannot fine the money from mf global and he managed to find the money for president obama. it does not pass the smell test. >>guest: it doesn't. people fail to realize that this company did something called commingling of funds taking client money and mixed it with their own. i own a registered investment and if i did that they would throw me in jail. i don't understand why the public outrage is. when madoff was behind the ponzi scheme, where is this guy? where is he doing it? it would seem to attract some

sort of attention. i am glad to see the "weekly standard," picked up but this warrants some attention. >>peter: president obama said he is an honorable man and one of the best pans in the white house. he said that before the scandal break, and we know that he testified before congress in december, and corzine was asked if he would commit his own money to paying back the clients. look at this. tell us what you thing. >> on before of the large farmers and small co-ops, assume they are not made whole are you and other executives willing to stand the loss with your personal fortunes and allow them to be compensated and made whole? >>guest: congressman --. >> yes-or-no? >>guest: i don't think that this will go unresolveed. >> hasn't gone resolved.

>>guest: early on they are suspicious of the builting and the fact the basement floor was resented but they never pursued it and i am not too sure why, but i would suggest that some information has come long, and they reinterviewed the person would ran a workshop down in the basement at the time, and the fbi was very, perhaps, disconcerted by a statement, and that led them to bringing a cadaver dog to the basement and that indicate flood could be remains and that --. >>peter: and i read they put some kind of pad that would absorb the fumes in the area because it was determined this was a dead body there and there was indication and the dogs indicated they believed, and the search began. what is troubling, what we have read, apparently, there was an issue of the floor being dug up 30 years ago and, then, allegedly, the person whose floor it was said if you take that up, you will have to pay to

put it back. >>guest: that was the case and he told the police exactly that, if you start to dig around my basement you have to pay and perhaps at the time maybe they did not have credibleness that would lead to get the warrant but today, as you indicated forensic and just good police work that is now prompting the investigation and i certainly we are all focused on what is happening. >>alisyn: and there is new information that the handyman, it is his basement and his ex-wife is now saying that he had molested a young niece of theirs many, many years ago, and that is information that is new and he has never been charged with that. we have no idea if that is accurate but that was enough. >>guest: and at the time he said that he gave the boy some money to help him with small little chore around his workshop

a scandal that keeps growing, three more secret services off the job and another found to be involved. we have a live report from washington. >>peter: nancy pelosi has a message for the poor. >> i wish they would earn more so they can pay more. >>peter: wow, that's what is going to keep america number one. we report. you decide. >>clayton: what your dog says about you. >> this is a classic example of a dog who has foolishly been allowed to believe he is the alpha male. and, therefore, he can never be a happy animal. >> he, hads pretty miserable. >> we will bring you the truth about that story. "fox & friends" hour two starts right now.

>> thank you, everyone, for joining us bright and early. peter johnson is here for vacationing dave. and now --. >>clayton: dave sends his love. >>alisyn: lets talk politics and exchanges on the campaign trail. there is a lot made of mitt romney's wealth so president obama made a reference some thought was a reference about mitt romney, the president says it was not talking about he, president obama, is from a meager background, he was not born into wealth. he was not born into money and he had to climb his way up. where other people didn't. >> someone gave me an edge. i wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. michelle wasn't. but somebody gave us a chance. >>clayton: romney responding and now you see them going after

each other and romney saying this on "fox & friends" that he will not apologize for the success that his parents have had. >> the president is taking aim at anyone he can find these days, in fact, in my case, i am not going to apologize for my dad and his success. he was born poor, he worked his we to become very successful despite the fact he did not have a college degree, and one of the thing he wanted to do was bring for me and my brother and sisters and i will not apologize for my dad's success. >>clayton: the white house is saying this is taken out of context and he uses this talk of flat ware, and silver spoons on a regular basis. this is in the first time he has done it so to say it is about

romney ... that is what canne said. >> those that have covered president obama know that he has used that phrase to describe his background many times in the past. and i suppose anyone who thinks it was a reference to them could be a little over sensety. because, unless they think when president obama said it three years ago it was in reference to them. >>peter: is that believable what he said? >>clayton: that is the question. >>peter: say i didn't have a silver spoon, well, who said the president did? and, obviously, any american can see, this is obviously the class warfare that is sometimes seen in american politics. and you go back to the election of 1840, president obama van buren was attacked in 1840, a very familious oration, 170 years ago and maybe the white house should just, the press

secretary should man up and say, that is what the president was saying. >>clayton: given the talk of the buffett rule it would not be out of the ordinary to have the discussions about the "haves" and the have nots. >>peter: did someone say, mr. president, you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, why is that important to say? >>alisyn: speaks of the "haves" and have nots, let's talk about food stamps and how the use of them have green expo exponentially up 37 percent. what does that say about now we are starting to recover 2011 had a tremendous use of food stamps^, how can we stop the

trend. >>clayton: get out of the recession. the number of americans on food stamps last year is remarkable, 45 million, 70 percent increase from 2007. what the c.b.o. is saying, lock, because of the jump in spending on food stamps it came at a point during the stimulus money in 2009 and they added an additional 20 percent to the stimulus law to go for food stands so those receiving food stamps got a 20 percent butch so therefore you see the increase. >>peter: we have a report of a lot of sad stories but you have to think of the kind of pain and the tragedy behind that and you thing of children who do not have food and people who needed if stands and you say, we are in a tough spot in some ways when so many people and there is such a dramatic increase and they saying for the government i need food. that is tough. tough. >>alisyn: in terms of government spending there has been a lot of government

spending but everyone would grow government spending on food for people who do not have it is better than las vegas conference. four dollar shrimp. so the tragedy is how much it has green during recession. you do see this jump in food stamps but it is higher than ever. >>peter: and it is more than lat towing. people cannot get a full time job, and they have to only get a part time job and they cannot make ends meet. they say, where is the opportunity? >>clayton: there is criticism on those who do not make enough money. and millions do not pay taxes. house minority leader pelosi coming to the defense of those who have been attacked disproportionately for not earning enough saying they do pay taxes, payroll taxes but she went a step further and said something eye raising.

>> i win they would earn more so they could pay more and that is what we about the creation of good paying jobs in the country that continue to give us international competitiveness to keep america number one. >>alisyn: there was a moment where she relied what she said. referring to taxes on paying more, and she thought that will not be good tomorrow morning, and she talked about international competitiveness it reminds you of when she said we have to pass the health care bill we will find out what is in it after we pass it. >>peter: it seems to be a disconnect or maybe economics 101 was never taken but i was not aware of the connection between people paying more taxes and increased international competitiveness. that's quite an interesting leap. if you pay more we are going to

be able to compete all over the world. >>alisyn: let us know what you thing of that latest statement and we will get to your headlines but afghan security officials foiled a huge attack finding ten tons of explosives. the men were going to blow up crowded areas and it was coordinated by two taliban commanders. >> a courtroom stunner in sanford, florida, hours before learn he could go free on $150,000 bail, george zimmerman took the attend unexpectedly and addressed the parents of the boy that he reportedly killed. >> i wanted to say i am sorry for the loss of your son. i did not know how old he was. i thought he was younger than i am. and i did not know if he was

armed. >> the surprising testimony coming at this photo was revealed, report through showing george zimmerman's bloody head hours after he shot and killed martin. this discredits his story that he was injured in a life-or-death scuffle and he faces second-degree murder charges for trayvon's death. >> a new report shows the united nations plan to make the world more eco friendly could cost trillions in new taxes. including $250 billion in new carbon taxes for industrialized country. the u.n. recommending the richest countries pay more than $2 trillion a year to build a green infrastructure in poorer countries. president obama expressing his support and the united nations will make the people during a conference in brazil in june. >>clayton: weather is next and

now captain rick. rick: you want it to be summer this time of year? unless you live in phoenix. that is the general rule. 101 today in phoenix. and 104 tomorrow. and generally, you get the first 100-degree around may 13th and when it happens this early not season it will be a very, very long next four to five months so they will be hot in the east, but not this weekend, a lot of rain and this spin that you see will become a big storm all weekend, tomorrow into the day on monday so get ready. across the west you are hooking good, along with the storm, this becomes what we thing of as a nor'easter with the winds from the southeast and windy especially tomorrow afternoon, and evening, and infor the start of the day on monday, and look at this, monday at 9:00 a.m., all the white stuff across parts of west virginia and

pennsylvania and western new york, we are talking snow, and places 6" to 8". >>clayton: we hear about people saying people look like their dogs. but there is often an idea about the way we buy certain dogs, or we breed certain dogs and it is probably close to your personality that you choose that dog or this dog. allegation whatever -- >>alisyn: supposedly whatever dog you like says more of your personalities. if you buy, if you have a lab door or spaniel that says that you are an agreeable person, and this is a new study of 1,000 dog owners in the u.k. >>peter: if you have a herding dog you will be more extroverted according to the psychologist in england. >>alisyn: outgoing dog so you are outgoing.

>>clayton: i can see that. if you have a hound dog. you are calm and consistent if you have a hound dog. >>alisyn: you are emotionally stable. >>clayton: they don't move a lot. >>alisyn: if you have a chihuahua or a yorkie, a toy dog, that means you are more open to new experiences. i'm not sure what this says of pair list hilton. allyally and peter has a toy dog. >>peter: i have a bulldog. >>alisyn: you have dignified demeanor. >>alisyn: still ahead, we are potentially nine months away in nearly half a trillion tax hike.

tax-geddon hits we will go back into a recession and unemployment will be higher but the direct cost is 70 percent for middle and low income because the bush tax cuts expire were for low income, and the a.t.m. patch which keeps it from hitting a.t.m. families and that will expire. >>peter: what will it cost the average american? >>guest: the average household see as tax increase of $3,800. simply a massive tax hike, it would be 3 percent of the economy taken from the business of the families that earn the income and transferred to washington. >>clayton: and the obama administration would like to extend the bush tax cuts but only for lower and middle income families and let the wealthy americans deal with the tax increase. what do you say? >>guest: that is in the president's plan since

campaigning in 2007 and that is as harmful for the economy as can be because that will hit job creatures, businesses and investors and entrepreneurs and will slow the job creation and people unemployed today, from going back to work. >>peter: and we finish up obamacare will be delivering a big tax wallop that we have not seen before? >>guest: part of tax-geddon and the beginning of five tax hikes part of obamacare including the economically damaging hike 3.8 percent surtax on investment income that kicks in john 1st which will slow investment which will slow job creation and the economy. >>clayton: thank you for breaking that down. hope we do not we get tax-geddon. thank you. coming up we her the promise, lose pounds in days but could the diet pills it will kill you?

fight against terror but the training manual has been edited because some portions are offensive, is this a push for more pc procedures and it is putting the nation at risk? joining us for a fair and balanced debate is the founder of act for america and author of "they must be stopped," and former homeland security advisor. thank you for being here. there were some offensive things in this f.b.i. training manual that came to the attention of people leak -- senator durbin who said some should be taken out. a portion of the letter says this is a risk agents will operate on false assumptions about arab americans and muslims and it could harm counterterrorism efforts by targeting individuals based on ethnicity rather than suspicion of wrongdoing.

what is the problem? >>guest: well, although this are some things that could be offensive, some word in the record, the reality is in the last three years we have arrested over 75 homegrown terrorists and every single one is a muslim. put political correctness aside and do what is right by our country and our people and doing what we need to do to train our agents on the ground who are our first responders and the first line of defense is being able to identify people who are connected to threats against the united states. >>alisyn: let me read a portion of some of the hand books deemed offensive, agents issue never attempt to shake hands with an asian. never stare at an asian. never try to speak to an arab female. are these the sorts of things that f.b.i. agents should be trained in? >>guest: when you look at the

entire issue, what you see is that radicalization is the growing concern among all security officials. so the question is, how do you go after that but not contribute to the radicalization? look at the problem britain has had when they walled off their muslim community. they attributed it to the radicalization. and second, if you develop intelligence what you need are sources in the community. why would you isolate that community just because you want to say you are a religion that has committed the acts and last, a lot of muslim americans are just that, americans, so it is not just political correctness but about sill -- civil rights. the security officials should not be involved in. ray kelly said the muslim community is essential partner if the war against trim. >>alisyn: you heard wamble said some of these are so offensive they say things like the western mind is even keeled but the arab mine is prone to

outbursts, loss of control. he is saying these could actually radicalize people. >>guest: well, on political correctness there are eight million arabs living in the united states today, and 80 percent of them are christian arabs who escaped islamic persecution in the middle east. i am considered honor the how many suicide bombers would were christians have attacks the united states in 10 years? >>alisyn: thank you, both obviously this is a heated debate and intense stuff but we appreciate you trying to make sense of it for us. thank you. more "fox & friends" ahead

it is the right thing for me to do. >> i didn't run for president for similar reasons so, i'm all into trying to help him get elected. >>peter: and he went on to include other people that he thought would be or should be considered, daniels and chris christie and others, so he was saying, if there is an obligation to serve of course i would serve but he is saying, look at marco rubio and look at the other folks. >>clayton: rubio was the big headline think he is the best choice for vice president and we reached out to the governor's office for clarification and it appears --. >>alisyn: he said he would consider it. >>clayton: but he is walking it back. you do not turn it down as governor huckabee has said, maybe it is your duty and solemn on of saying you will consider and maybe put that forth but he is saying he doesn't think heel be asked. >>alisyn: that different from marco remember i don't -- marco

rubio said he was not interested, and he would not be vice president; he was not interested, but freud may beg to differ when you hear the next quote by remember i don't that some way was a "slip." >> three, four, five, six, seven years ago if i do a good job as vice president, i'm sorry, you got that, right? you got that, right? if i do a for john as a senator rather than a vice president i will have a chance to do all sorts of things. >>peter: and of course freud will be up next year. >>clayton: do you think he was thinking about the vice-presidency or a slip of the tongue. take a listen. >> three, four, five, six, seven years ago if i do a job as vice

president -- i'm sorry. >> you got that, right? you got that, right? >> if i do a good job as a senator rather than a vice president. >> it was not a joke. >> but dr. ablow would say it is die championally wish. >>alisyn: i like your dramatic reading of this, peter, we need to talk for the death -- to the doctor about that. >>clayton: because he has been asked so many times. was it a slip of the tongue? health us know what you think at foxandfriends.com. >>alisyn: they will campaign together on monday, romney and

rubio. people will study their chemistry and body language and seeing if it is a good fit. >>peter: remember i, rubio is a dynamic candidate. >>alisyn: and now, afghan security officials foiling a huge potential attack in kabul seizing ten tons of explosives hidden in the vehicle. they planned to blow up crowded areas in the city. the suspects confessed the attack was coordinated by two taliban commanders with links to pakistan's main intelligence organization. and a scare in the air for vice president biden, air force two striking a flock of birds while landing in california. no one was hurt. but biden had to take a different plane back to washington, dc. we told you of another bird strike yesterday and that force add delta airlines to make an emergency landing in new york

and heavy rain. and a lot of drought going on across much of the eastern seaboard so that is good news, 3" of rain in miami, and 3 itch-plus, with flooding concerns, and a little bit of drought relief so that is good news. and big heat across the southwest. phoenix 101 the first day of triple digits but evidently a little too early. >>clayton: and peter johnson jr. is here, a great legal mind and we want your perspective. alabama police are fed up with a guy they keep arresting. not once or twice but they have arrested him 23 times. and he is illegal immigrant. and they cannot do anything with him. ic -- i.c.e. officials say they cannot deport him because the country is not recognized by the u.s. government because he is

from palestine. >>alisyn: incredible right? we talk how is it possible to deport the 11 million illegal immigrants. so we will focus on the criminals this guy personifys what we don't want, arrested 23 times including drug and violence and bad checks but he cannot be deported. >>peter: he has been arrested 23 times and held on $250,000 bond and in alabama the police chief does not know what to do. >> when the many called "detainer," is telling them we will go for deport you, he knows we cannot deport him. that is what we were told by i.c.e. >>peter: what has to happen palestine government, he is

going to be going forward on trial, held on bail, now, and he will be in prison here in alabama if convicted. that is what will happen. >>alisyn: and he has been arrested 35 times and not in prison currently. but he is held on $200,000 bail. >>clayton: so $200,000 bail? >>peter: that is high bill. >>clayton: and we are not deporting him. >>peter: so the people would live in alabama will pay for him to we reside in the state prison. if convicted. what do think about this? we would love to hear from our alabama viewers. >>alisyn: coming up incredible story you have been following a little boy went missing 33 years ago and now the investigators have new clues in the cold case of etan patz. wake up!

stay is former nypd detective, bo dietl. you were on the force when he when missing. why are they just now revesting the handyman who worked a couple of doors down? >>guest: when you have a case like this 30 years old it is obvious there is probably a homicide involved with this, him sides have in time limit. so they re-open the case in 2010 and when they do that, they look at all what they call the informations, all the people that were interviewed, and they go out and reinterview the people. i heard about this 2 1/2 weeks ago, someone called me that lives near there and knows i am involved with investigations and they say something is going on, bo, they are breaking stuff. information came to me that officially when the mother said she watched him walk the two

blocks now, supposedly, she mentioned that she really didn't see him walk all the way and the two block radious is where the place is, right now, so now they are concentrating goes into that area and it happens to be there was a museum, a homosexual museum housed in that area right there where the guy was a handyman and we do not take ramos off this. as far as we are concerned he is a suspect and miller is a suspect, and in the science his ex-wife said he rape add ten-year-old girl but a lot of, wives will say something that is negative that has never been proven to the information is now coming out and they are evaluating if they fine the body of etan patz based on the area with the concrete, we will have closure to the case. >>peter: if anyone knows the mean streets of new york it is bo, a lot of things have gone on and one thing we are seeing is allegedly, and miller denies it

to a lawyer and ramos is on jail on something else, a civil right he lost saying he was the killer , and what happened? a report showed the detectives saw something wrong with the particular and the cement was done and miller said if you take that up you have to pay for it. is that possible? >>guest: exactly, i don't understand i will not second-guess my colleagues but i tell you right now at that point they didn't know what happened to the kid but they should have gone back if that was the only area that was freshly covered and were facts about the other guys being there. and miller said, if the body was moved, you could still find it. that is interesting because my feelings are, it is still ramos and my feelings, are, possibly, miller, he worked with miller and possibly miller knew. >>peter: that your opinion.

>>alisyn: and ramos was similarly convicts -- civilly convicted. >>guest: well, with civil evidence, it is lighter than on a criminal beyond a reasonable doubt and that is that he was convicted on the evidence they had for civil but not a criminal case. >>peter: i don't if he even appeared. >>guest: the interesting part of this is the cold cases are interesting they look through all the files and reinterview and try to build up another case. i hope this comes to a conclusion so the family can rest. >>alisyn: so do we, we hope to get is word today of a development. bo, thank you. it happened again a ordered a smoothie and gets a rum surprise instead. >>peter: and, toys, experts equipment and more.

should take the product overseas to get manufactured. when we looked at cost of doing that and how important we felt to have this product manufactured in the united states and produced jobs in the country, it breakdown and made a lot of sense from a cost perspective and economic one. >>clayton: were profits lower? >>guest: no, when you look at the timeframe and the ability to control the entire process end to end, the quality that we put out for the marketplace based upon our brand, it made a lot of sense to stay in the united states. >>clayton: was it difficult, ernie to have your company in the united states and were you approach by others saying, look, you can increase your profit margin and manufacture this overseas and you will have more money in your pocket? >>guest: we did a last searching, and my partner and myself we did a lot of searching, sourcing, we found out after cost analysis our toy

is 25 percent to 30 percent cheaper made in america and you do not have the shipping, you can lose your container in the ocean and we found out being made in america is a hard struggle but it is worth it because you fine other entrepreneurs who will work with you, and machine shops and companies that want to be involved with you. and it is amaze leg is a resurgence in that. so, our toy is coper made in america and we are happy and proud of that. >>clayton: are you fining other companies, a few years ago when we did the made in the usa companies and it was difficult to fine the companies. >>guest: today with the internet when you take a brand to market it is so important you get one shot to do that and that has to be based upon quality, not just cost. when you look from a cost perspective and quality perspective it makes sense to before the product here in the united states and it has been tremendous for us. >>clayton: and now the

products. paul tell us how net return works. >>guest: it started in my parent's backyard the original net that returns the ball back to an athlete, so, driver, iron or wedge with golf. and it is coming right back rather than you fetching it. not just golf, but baseball, soccer, softball and lacrosse. our extra point punting and place kicking net is in half the nfl teams using it right now and that allows a punter or place kicker to rapidly warm up and it also runs a ball or caps it for them. >>clayton: we see these on the side lines. thank you paul. and thank now telling us about net return. and now, tell us about handtrux.

>>guest: you become the bulldozer. check it out. >>clayton: my son will love it. >>guest: this will destroy any sand pile. snow. dirt. sand. it runs like a real bulldozer, you can dig a trench, skim it, back till, and we think a child learns better when they are attached to a skill and they are doing it so when they are immersed in the dirt and sand and mud it is benefiting them beyond belief other than, say, playing a normal video game. >>clayton: i have some garden and i will put my son out there for labor. than you. thank you for handtrux.

grass. governor huckabee is here. >>governor huckabee: good to be here. >>clayton: this is an interesting day with a new war on flatware and silver spoons and knives knives and forks andr the idea from the white house not being born with a silver spoon in his or her mouth. take a listen. >> someone gave me an education. i wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth. michelle wasn't. someone gave us a chance. >>alisyn: what do you think? >>governor huckabee: this is language the president has used from the inception of his political life. i don't see it that big a deal and i think romney has handled it well saying i can not help the way i was born but i can help what i have done with it. that is the message. everyones that -- has their own

narrative. the great thing in america is not where we start but what we do with what we have. romney can say, look, my father was wealthy but he didn't hand it over to me he made me earn mine on my own, and i did, and i want to be as successful a president as a businessman and help you to be successful. that is fine. that is all he has to do. >>clayton: is this the liberal argument that romney's father didn't have anything but the american institution, taxpayers put the roads down that enabled his father to travel to and from the places he made money and the public libraries that helped finance the education, is this part of the larger narrative, this is with we will see headed into november? >>guest: it could be but that is a losing argument if that is the best shot obama has. americans do not care what romney has, they care what they have that their own jobs are disappearing not that romney had a good one, they care they

cannot put groceries on their table. they care what their kids will be able to do. if romney can say, here is how i will make the economy work for you, they are not beginning to be disappointed in what he has, they want the american dream for themselves. >>peter: the issue is not where a presidential candidate has come from, but where i am going? where is my family going under this presidential candidate? >>guest: if i were romney, if i were, i would say, you know, there have been other presidents that showed that even though they were people of great wealth, they cared deeply about the people who did not have what they had. a person democrats love to quote is fdr, john f. kennedy, and neither of these guys were exactly struggling to make it. and, yet, democrats hold them up as the heroes of what they stood

for. >>peter: teddy roosevelt. progressive. >>governor huckabee: and a ridiculous argument. if that is the best thing obama has going for him he is in trouble. >>alisyn: and a fun game is who will be chose as romney's vice president. first jeb bush gave an interview saying if asked he would consider and that got a lot of tongues wagging and then rubio made a slip and he referred to himself as "vice president." what do you think of that submission i thought it was a great moment and rubio handled it brilliantly and laughed it off. so many are talking about it, the thing about romney that anyone who knows him, he is methodical and analytical and will approach this not from the standpoint of emotional reaction but romney will have a very almost exhaustive process if his

history is any indication. and it will be a very logical decision. a very rational and thought will decision and he will not make it based on press clip or podium clip. >>clayton: you have a unique perspective of arkansas saying it was a terrible job, am i putting it nicely. >>governor huckabee: here is what i say about vice president or lot lieutenant governor like being a spare tire. your job is to be kept in the dark out of the way but all pumped you. just in case. >>clayton: so the idea that remember i don't says he can do more in the senate, is he right? we lock back at the bumps that candidates get and it is minimal and people vote for the main candidate. they do not care who the vice president is. >>guest: the have the needs to be someone, the nominee, someone who can campaign, who can rally the base, and who could be president if necessary. other than that, if he can set

still and stay awake during a foreign funeral there is not a lot to do. >>alisyn: which many have not been able to do. >>governor huckabee: and do not make gaffes on the campaign trail, he will campaign for the candidates in his or her party. >>alisyn: the media like the gaffes. >>governor huckabee: we will make them. no doubt. >>clayton: stick around, we will talk about unions in wisconsin teaing a shot at governor walk we. -- governor walker. all if it is a fight you want it's a fight you will get. and nothing else. >> wait until you hear what else they said. governor huckabee sticking around for that

what i said or i will be dead because they will come to get me. not a threat to the president he was saying the president is a threat to him. so, again, if people her the whole thing he never said negative about i'll be dead or in jail because i will be doing something to the president but because the president could do something5wv toú.o= him. >> and the secret service interviewed him and it was chered -- cleared up. >>governor huckabee: tonight we have a special. our special tonight is ... what well serve up on our menu we will talk about the key five issues that president obama has to be able to win on in order to be re-elected and we will look at and analyze those real key issues. >>alisyn: governor, thank you, we will be watching. >>governor huckabee: i will check on you and make sure you did. >>alisyn: listen to this a new line of legos, and it is a lady lego. is this offensive to women and

the senate is female so the stereotypes is the most important thing to focus on your appearance at expense of your scientific mind and creativity and the other things. >>guest: well, i disagree, more women are going to school, more women are having higher powered jobs this may not be at the top but women in the 70's, nasa what a huge difference, there were few women in the workplace, we have come a long way to becoming more feminist and more equals in the workplace. we >>alisyn: we want to know what our viewers think of this debate, and dana from "spark," thank you for coming into to to debate it.

night, martin rebeatedly bashed his head on the sidewalks. >> those are just facts from abc news. >> right. nbc you know owns msnbc, which is obviously an opinion, more, much more liberally oriented cable news channel, they have had quite a different take on this entire story, here is a montage of some of their reporting. >> what possible explanation is there for why this young man was shot? the guy is armed and he knows he has a stand your ground law on your side and acting like a serial policeman, no authority and some kind of neighborhood watch thing and it's a toxic mix, trayvon martin a quickly turning into the civil rights figure of our time because he was gunned down by doing the simplest of acts walking home from 7-eleven store and talking to his girlfriend on a cell phone. >> you live in a country where your teenage son can get a's and b's in high school, well

jim nelson of the private company, solar 3-d. how is solar 3-d doing and why are you doing something better or different than solyndra? >> it's a great question because solyndra and solar 3-d started with the same ambiti ambitions and both of us wanted to do something with solar that would change the economics and make it available to everyone in the world. unfortunately with solyndra once they got the ill-fated and ill advised loan guarantee from the government. they would already too expensive to be competitive. and solar 3-d, next generation of solar cells that are going to maximize sunlight into electricity and hoping that the economics will change to the extent that the energy derived from solar will be reduced, costs will be reduced

by 50%, now we're in the process of going from invention to the market, and frankly, that process is a real tough process and it, it requires a discipline and a thrift that could only be developed through the-- through the capitalist market. and frankly, by the government giving the money to solyndra. they actually circumvented the process of american capitalism that could have made solyndra successful. so, it's having, you mention that it's the economics not the government that should be picking the winners and losers here, you've got the innovation and no mean as you said the government should build a brand new 300,000 square foot technology building for solyndra in the heart of the silicon valley. when you drive down the road you know how expensive the real estate is. it doesn't make fiscal sense. >> not only that, other

organizations really should be doing the commercialization of these projects. and the government itself is in no position, in fact, are ill-suited to be able to make the decisions on what should be commerciallized or not. and government has a different type of objective. they're looking for jobs. i'm looking for successful businesses. jobs come from successful businesses. successful businesses do not come from jobs. >> if you were offered a half a billion dollars government guarantee, a loan, would you accept it? >> i've got it tell you, i don't blame anyone for taking government money. i blame the government system for being so-- for being inadequate in selecting the types of projects that they ought to in. and frankly the government is involved in energy, one through the loan program which should be eliminated. the other one is valuable, the spore of basic research. >> and supporting basic research for an awfulfully

long time and many things developed out of basic research have turned into national treasuries, including the internet. >> right. >> and we're big fans of steven chu, even though he has been involved in the loan guarantee program, he's had to because it's been part of the, part of the policy of this administration, but he's a great supporter of innovation and it's only through innovation that we are he going to be able to change the economics of green energy, so it will be enthusiastically adopted by everyone. >> we'll get you out here on this, jim. if you think about the major slip-ups of solyndra, real he estate, never before used machinery and got to learn that, loans though made despite the signs of failure, how are you going to get money, the banks won't give you the money, but the government will? >> yeah, that's true, but the problem is, if government gives you money and you can't get money anywhere else, you don't deserve the money, you don't deserve to go commercial if no venture capitalist or successful operating business

will step forward and make your project commercial. >> jim nelson, solar 3-d, the company doing it the right way, not the solyndra way. thanks for doing it this morning. >> great to be with you. >> good to see you. >> ahead, a champion body boarder killed by a great white shark, could a tv program be responsible. >> and kids becoming vegan, wait until you hear what they say about meat. the healthy meat debate coming up. ♪ ♪[music plays] there's another way to help erase litter box odor. purina tidy cats.

>> . >> clayton: so is a vegan diet safe for kids. in a book vegan is love sprouting up and has corpse from parents. the book claims at that going vegan is not only good for animals, but healthy for youngsters, joining us now is the author of that book, rudy roth and the former editor in chief of psychology today magazine, child psychologist dr. robert edstein here to debate this premise. thanks for being here. ruby, i want to get to your book first and some of the criticism that it's gotten, your book, obviously, touts the health benefits of eating more vegetables, but some parents say there's also unnecessarily graphic. let me read, an excerpt from it, says you don't have to be an expert to know that they don't want to balance on balls or jump through hoops or fire circus animals have to perform tricks, whether they like it or not. and they're beaten with six

whips and the cheerful ring leader does not fool us, we do not see his show. what does that have to do with children eating more healthfully. >> i think a lot. i think that people are outraged and this information about this book ultimately they don't know what they're eating and participating in and i think if the american public knew, the level of disease and abuse in the meat and dairy industries and any commerce that uses animals for that matter, then the outrage would be directed at the industries and not at a children's book about choices, alternatives to the status quo. >> alisyn: dr. epstein, obviously all parents are trying to have their children eat more healthfully. >> and things happen when kids are on a restrictive diet, what is that? >> well, there's some research suggesting, alisyn, that children that are on very restrictive diets when given

the opportunities, when adults are not looking, in other words, they'll actually eat more junk food, and eat more sweets than children who are, you know, given reasonable access to different kinds of foods, so, basically, in every respect, i find that's the most disturbing children book i've ever seen, i say this just not as a researcher, but as a parent of six children. >> and go further, i want to hear you expound on that. why is it so disturbing? >> well, the books i read to my kids who are as young as six, by the way, those are books about family, books about love, about inspiration, and this is a book mainly about fear and guilt and i think that parenting by fear or by guilt is very bad parenting. >> alisyn: ruby, you can address that. >> all right, i think all the psycho babble that you want, but the reality is that i've read this book to hundreds if not thousands of kids and thousands of kids around the world have it, and i've never

seen one child or gotten one e-mail for any parents about a child being overwhelmed. only adults are overwelcomed by this book and the experience in the classroom, and that kids respond with insight, and curiosity, and eager to participate, in a life style that shows positive and sfant impact, especially when it comes to animals. >> so, and this book is really about the opposite of fear, the most important message in this book is we do not have to fear anything that we have the power to change and this book is about love and about how far cross the world we can send that. >> alisyn: yes and no, ruby. you also say fish, for instance, eating fish and lots of people believe that fish oil is great for kids' brains and you say fish, fishing has killed off most of the ocean. fishermen continue to catch

and sell what's left, even when it's against the law. so, you're demonizing fishermen. i mean, you can say it's about love and acceptance, but some of the passengers are not that. your response? >> it's-- everything in my book is based on fact. we're dealing with pollution in the oceans, and look, if people want to continue feed their kids meat and dairy and fish from a polluted ocean, that's their prerogative. you will eventually see the physical manifestations of eating diseased and abused animals. >> and dr. epstein, what are you counseling parents to do? >> avoid this book, that's for sure, because, again, young children are very impressionable and different one from another the and the fact that ms. ross is only paying attention to the positive reaction she's getting. that does not mean that some children are going to be very disturbed by this book, and they must.

this book has strong, powerful negative images and some of it's just plain wrong. >> alisyn: okay. ruby roth, and dr. epstein, thank you for the debate. and he disappeared 33 years old, now the cold case of aton pace are reopened. why are investigators start ago new search. our own anna kooiman will have the details. and home depot is here to show us how to grow our own vegetable garden. ♪ ♪ picking a wireless network is a lot like picking a team.
