"fox & friends" starts right now. >> good morning, folks! winter has arrived in new york city in april. >> huh? >> just when i put away the winter clothes, i know women out there, you can relate to this. you go to your closet and you put those in the back and you move your spring and summer.

now you have to rechange everything. >> at least we don't have snow. >> we could do the other thing, stay inside until spring becomes spring again. this is kind of ugly. >> we've had almost drought conditions here in the northeast so we need the rain but maybe just not this much. we'll have details on the weather a little later on. >> let's start with a fox news alert. while you were sleeping, george zimmerman released from a florida jail after posting $150,000 bond. >> y kelly wright joins us live from our d.c. bureau with all the details. look at that tie. snazy, snazy. >> thank you very much. george zimmerman will be closely monitored by sanford police and the police department. they will monitor his every move wearing a g.p.s. tracking device he must wear all times. he was released overnight after meeting requirements of a $150,000 bond. days before he was released, zimmerman appeared in court and shocked the court during the bond hearing by giving an apology to the parents of

trayvon martin. >> 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 a little bit younger than i am. and i did not know if he was armed or not. >> zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the death of trayvon martin who was 17 years old at the time of his death. they sponlded to his apology for the death of their son. >> it's only a day before this bond hearing that we get word that he wants to apologize and we say it's not the appropriate time to do so but yet, he just disregards that at the bond hearing and it's one of those things that the family were offended by it because we said it wasn't an appropriate time. >> the court has ordered zimmerman to make no contact with the parents of trayvon martin. meantime, zimmerman attorney mark o'mara tells fox news

he's worried about zimmerman's safety. >> i want to make sure wherever we place him, he's secure. like we talked about many times, there's a lot of motions in this case, you don't want them flowing over on to george until all the facts are known. >> defense attorney mark o'mara talking to geraldo rivera. he said the best thing he's heard in this case is that trayvon martin's parents have faith in the judicial system and will go through the process to find out what happened on that horrible night their son was killed. back to you. >> kelly wright live for us in d.c. thanks so much. now another developing story for you. a missing persons case now turning into a possible kidnapping? police in arizona trying to figure out if 6-year-old isabelle sullis was snatched from her home. auto auto -- >> we're not ruling anything out of the investigation at this point. we need to keep our mind open to

everything brought to us. family has been cooperating with us and they're currently with the detective but we're not ruling out anything in this investigation. >> those parents say they last saw her in her room on friday night. when they went to wake her the next morning, she was gone. a new report out this morning says a window screen to the girl's bedroom may have been knocked in. the community rallying around the family. >> ♪ you were my >> hundreds of people sang songs, lit candles and prayed for isabelle's safe return. coming up at 7:00 a.m., the police chief handling in this case will be joining us live. now to an extreme weather alert on the east coast. spring brings lots of rain to the people here. streets in new york city some already flood and there's even the possibility of snow? you're looking live right now. this is buffalo, new york, up to a foot there. this is still new york city.

information but we need more to figure out what exactly went down in colombia. new developments in the secret service scandal. it sounds like more heads are going to roll. also, with some lawmakers are trying to do is trying to figure out whether or not any of the white house advance team was involved. there's no suggestion at this point of evidence. they want to make sure because they were there at the same time. >> there's one senator, senator chuck grassley, the ranking republican on the senate judiciary committee specifically wants to know if the secret service resumed rooms or shared them with any of the white house advance team for operational or support matters because maybe there will be other people potentially involved in this ever growing scandal. >> if one of the secret service agents actually brought a prostitute back to the hilton where the president was staying, it begs the question, was anybody else involved? was that the white house staff around? are they going to investigate

whether the white house staff, what they were doing at what time? is it going to get that big? senator joe lieberman was on "fox news sunday" yesterday. listen. >> what was striking to me and significant is that the 12th agent put under administrative leave as of friday was not standing at the hotel where the other agents were but at the hilton and the hilton is significant because that's where president obama was going to stay. now you're into the hotel where the president of the united states was going to stay and it just gets more troubling. >> it does get troubling and the whole idea of, you know, if there's something bad at work behind the scenes here, it's if you had the information from a member of the white house advance team, that could be really bad because the advance team knows where the president is at all times. >> the bigger question is whether or not this was a one time aberration or whether or not this is a pattern of behavior with the secret service. so was this happening in the

last five years? and in fact, that's what they're looking into right now. in the last five years, pete king, at least the congressman from new york wants to know has the secret service ever launched an investigation in the last five years into this kind of behavior before. you know, and we just didn't know about it? or is this just a one time, a one off where this is the only type that this has ever happened. >> congressman peter king did -- was asked that question, by the way, where was congress? where was the oversight on this? wasn't it up to -- wasn't it up to people like yourself, lawmakers to ask these questions prior to this incident and senator joe lieberman bought up yesterday he doesn't understand why these guys thought they could get away with it and ron kessler wrote a book about the secret service while he lauded their courage 99% of the time, there has been a problem in the agency especially of late. listen. >> they could have blackmailed the agents into cooperating with

terrorists or the russian foreign intelligence service and it's a symptom of much larger problems in the secret service which go back to management. management has been cutting corners. has been lax and i think these idiots in colombia thought to themselves, well, you know, if our bosses violate procedures, maybe we should, too. >> one of the bosses at the secret service, a woman by the name of paula reed who runs the miami office that oversees cartahana, colombia, she was staying in a different hotel. as soon as she heard from some of her associates that there was a hooker over at the hotel demanding money, she got as much information as she could and she realized it was a gigantic problem and sent a dozen of her colleagues home. she did clean up the mess. >> isn't it ironic that it's a woman who was a secret service agent that had to come up and clean up the mess. only 11% of agents are women and now female members of congress

are asking why? >> i can't help but wonder if there had been more women as part of that detail if this ever would have happened? >> i can't help but keep asking this question, where are the women? >> so it's an interesting point that only 11% are women and that a woman actually was the one who had come and clean up the mess. maybe this will launch an idea in the minds of those who are hiring that maybe more women should be hired. >> i know this, it will cost $1.5 million to investigate whether that's the conclusion they'll come to. >> that's essentially two g.s.a. parties. >> that's two trips to las vegas. >> all right. let's talk about the arizona immigration law. as you know, when it came across about a year ago, there was some controversy. and some mischaracterization about what it actually is. first, why the supreme court is taking it up and why it matters. here's what it is. they ask, do law enforcement when they pull people over, if

there's -- if they suspected they might be here for -- be here -- >> they want you to verify citizenship if you show a license or any other proof of that, not if you're having an ice cream cone walking down the street. >> the department of justice sued the state of arizona after they decided to take matters into their own hands and decide how they were going to deal with illegal immigration in their state. now the supreme court will be taking on health care this summer as well as immigration. two of the biggest issues that our country faces right now. >> just to finish what it is, it makes it a crime to be in the u.s. unlawfully and requires noncitizens to carry documents to prove they are legally here in this country and making it a state crime for a person who is not lawfully in the country to week or seek work and they say it's worked effectively so far because a lot of people say wow, arizona is cracking down. we better try another state. >> and those particular four things that you just detailed, those are the four things that the barack obama administration got a federal judge to agree to

take out of the law and to stop it and then the ninth circuit court of appeals said yeah, let's not let those go guaforwa. the rest of the law is in effect except for those four. on wednesday, when the solicitor general of the united states tries to do a better job on immigration than he did with health care, those will be the main things that he's talking about. >> it comes down to state's rights. the federal government. is this going to be another overreach and a time in which this court says stop, enough. or i totally agree with eric holder. >> they're both are going to say we're trying to protect our people. the federal government says we're in charge with the supremacy clause and the arizona is going to say federal government isn't doing their job. we'll have to pick up where they're not doing it. >> we can discuss this later today including with this. remember the president said his new health care law wouldn't cost you a dime? that may not be true now. a new tax being considered. it would hit you every time you go to the doctor or you get a prescription? we'll tell you what you need to know next.

>> obamacare. this pooch has some serious talent. he can play the piano and sing at the same time. >> why wasn't this the lead story? >> obviously, i'm not making the decisions because it would be. that alone with the white whale. don't miss more on this adorable video. dad, you are not meeting him looking like that. i look fine. just a little trouble with a bargain brand cooking spray. i told you like a gajillion times to use pam. it's 70% better than that bargain stuff. see? look i gotta go. pam helps you like pull it off.

>> welcome back. the cost of care, the institute of medicine now proposing a 2% tax on people who have health care coverage on nearly all everyday health practices which means every time you go to see a doctor or fill a prescription, you'll have to pay a new 2% tax. >> that tax expected to bring in a reported $13 billion of revenue that would be put towards public health services like anti-smoking and vaccination programs. but is this report just a boondoggle for public health experts and their friends? >> joining us right now to weigh in is elizabeth price foley, professor of

constitutional law at florida international university and author of tea party, three principles. good morning to you, elizabeth. >> good morning to you both. this boondoggle, another 2% tax. just what we need! as everything is just going along so well. >> it reminds me of alice in wond wonderland when i read this report. it would be nice if everything made sense for a change. here they are, trying to tax every single transaction that we've had with health care providers so every time you see the doctors, every time you fill a prescription, you pay this tax. this isn't going to do nothing to raise the cost of health care. you raise the cost of health care, it decreases access to health care. exact opposite of what they're trying to accomplish. >> is this something that the lawmakers didn't bother to read before they passed the bill or something that was a result of it after it was passed? >> well, you know, i mean, this isn't law yet. this is just an expert report from the institute, and i've

been win of those experts and i can tell you they are bo boondoggles because what this was was basically 18 public health experts. expert panels seem to think their issues are the most important in the world and not surprisingly, they seem to think the best way to solve the problems is to throw a lot of money at them. >> that's exactly right. what's interesting is if you look at the data, the states and, for instance, the district of columbia where they spend a lot on patient care, they're not necessarily the healthiest places. >> that's right. if you look at the data itself and look at the lowest per capita spending states, you'll find states like arizona, wisconsin, missouri, those states have amazing public health statistics. they have low infant mortality rates, high vaccination rates and you compare them to the highest per capita spending places which include like the district of columbia, west virginia, alaska which have sort of notoriously and persistent

public health problems despite spending 10 times more. >> good point. >> so you would be -- it would be people who have insurance who would pay this 2%? could you take it on to your insurance or just paying this out of pocket? >> yeah. no, this is a tax. so it doesn't matter whether you have health insurance or not. if you simply access the health care system, you'll be paying more for that health care that you received. and, you know, they think it's going to be some panacea for our public health problems and it's clearly not going to be, you know, public health is a sort of notoriously complex and multifacetted problem and you can't solve it just by throwing money at it. >> yeah, a tax is a tax. all right, elizabeth price foley joining us from los angeles where she and the cameraperson are the only people that we know are awake at this hour. thanks for getting up so early on this monday. >> thank you very much. >> you bet. >> next on the rundown, the u.s. stuck with criminal immigrants because their own countries don't want them back?

immigrants who we ordered to leave whose countries say we won't take them back? >> they don't take them back probably because they have enough criminals of their own. so they stall and once these people who are foreign nationals commit a crime and serve their time, we can only detain them an additional 180 days and then we have to release them and they're released back on the streets while they're waiting deportation. countries say we'll get back to you. so these people, some of them end up committing another crime. >> you're talking about one case in case, a vietnamese killer who went back and killed five people because his country wouldn't take him back. >> that's correct. he had served 10 years for armed robbery, got out, vietnam, wouldn't take him back. now he's charged with committing five murders in san francisco. there has to be a consequence to these countries. >> here's 10 of the nations. cuba, china, india, jamaica, pakistan, somalia, iran, trinidad, tobago.

you're saying you don't want to take them back, next time your diplomat wants to come in, we'll refuse their visas. >> i've introduced legislation that would do just that. they would be denied their diplomatic visas so that to encourage them, take your criminals back. they belong in your country, not the united states or the consequence -- you will lose some of your diplomatic visas so you can't get in the u.s. legally. >> there's a naive question. to me this seems like something to be bipartisan support, have you been working with the democrats? >> yes, we've been working with the democrats to get legislation through the judiciary committee. we've already had hearings on this issue and we'll end up having a bipartisan -- >> how close are you watching? what's happened with the supreme court this week in the arizona state law? >> very close. it's an important decision not only for arizona but the entire united states to decide whether or not the states can work with the federal government to enforce immigration law or if the federal government is going

to keep the sole responsibility and continue not to enforce the immigration law. >> do you think that law in arizona would be good for texas. >> i do. i personally think it would be good in texas. we have the same problem that the other southwestern states have as far as people that are in the u.s. illegally and very difficult to manage them because in my opinion, the federal government doesn't enforce the law they're supposed to enforce. >> hopefully this goes forward. it seems like something everybody can agree on. if you're committed of a crime, you should not be allowed to pay here and make countries pay the price. >> take your convicted outlaws back home where they belong. >> is that too much to ask? we take ours back. >> they take theirs now. >> thanks for coming. in 3 minutes before the bottom of the hour. good news, the government is finally considering ways to reduce massive deficit. the bad news is the plan includes taxing your retirement account. stuart varney started walk down the hall and he is now. and lehman brothers sparked the downfall of the entire economy.

to call a stealth war on success, ok? there are proposals to limit the deduction for mortgages on a second home. limit the tax breaks that you get on a generous health care plan and now this, limiting the tax break that you get when you put money into your i.r.a. or your 401k. look, this is just a proposal. but here's what it is. when you put money into an i.r.a. or a 401k right now, you get a tax break right up front. put the money in and get the tax break now. they propose to abolish that tax break going in and give you a tax credit when you take the money out at the far end. in other words, they delay by decades the awarding of the tax break. you get it now. >> paying up front. >> so you pay up front. so if you put $1,000 into an i.r.a., for example, that comes off your taxable income right now. their proposal is, oh, no, it doesn't come off your taxable income. you are taxed on that $1,000 but

you will get a tax credit when you take the money out at the far end. >> it's delaying the inevitable which is trying to fix the problem in present day talk. like so many people are concerned about what's going to happen for their grandchildren, let me ask you this, it's not just a stealth war on the successful. i mean, tons of middle class people use i.r.a.'s and 401k's. >> the headline is "tax the rich" the buffet rule, right? that's what the president promotes, millionaires and billionaires but these proposals underneath the headlines, this is the stealth war on middle america because it's going to reach all the way down the income chain right into america's middle class. you mess around with the tax break on i.r.a.'s and 401k's, you're messing with america's middle class. >> and the other thing is if you start messing around too much and that payoff isn't great enough, you have a bunch of people retiring at 65 or 70 that don't have enough money to live. guess what, we'll have to pay for that anyway. >> you mess with the tax break that i and you get when we put into an i.r.a. right now, you

mess around with that and you'll have far less money going into the i.r.a.'s and 401k's. >> i feel like you were yelling at us. >> listen -- >> who's they? who wants it? >> the government. that would be the obama administration. which desperately needs revenue and they really want income redistribution. 1/2 that pays tax would pay more tax to the half that doesn't. >> unfortunately, you'd be paying the tax when you're at the zenith of making money as opposed to when you retired, drawing it out and getting a lower rate to get it coming and going. >> my golden years. >> zenith doesn't even make televisions anymore. >> they don't? >> they don't, sorry. >> luckily your magnavox. >> we'll watch you at 9:20 on the fox business network. have a great week. caught on camera, dramatic moments when a driver loses control of her drag racer. goes flying! whoa, right towards fans. wait until you see how it does. >> and between the g.s.a. and

fraud happening on his books and he ignored them. >> it was a record year, in fact, i thought that doesn't sound right. you knew the markets were doing badly so why wasn't lehman doing badly and every time i found something and i went to my boss or whoever, no response. >> wow, he's now out of a job. he believes those same scams are still going on right under our noses. and there's really not much government can do to stop them. gretch? >> thank you, brian, between the g.s.a. and the secret service, scandals within the federal government keep cropping up. do they reflect how the obama administration is actually running the government? according to the president's senior advisor david axelrod, that answer is no. >> do i think that the g.s.a. problem is concerning? yes, and the president was furious when he learned of it. obviously, we've revamped the whole operation as a result of it. but is it emblematic of our administration? absolutely not. we are saving taxpayers money

all the time! >> what do our washington insiders think this morning? joining me now former g.s.a. administrator under president george w. bush loreta doane and a democratic strategist chuck lorocha. that's how we would expect david axelrod to answer that question, correct? >> i think so. this is an area where the president is weak because what we're really talking about is big government and wasteful spending. president believes in big government and he believes that the government knows what's best and he's asking us to increase our taxes and give money to the government. but g.s.a. and really the secret service scandal proves that government money is being wasted, stimulus money is being wasted and so this is -- this is really difficult for the president to explain away. >> chuck, isn't this going to be a tough argument as we move closer to the election? i'm imagining a debate between romney and obama and talking about this issue, won't this be a layup for romney to be able to say, hey, when you give your tax dollars to the government, we have g.s.a. problems? >> i think david made it very clear that the president was

upset when he heard about this. they take the appropriate action and i think absolutely, just like david thinks that people should be held accountable for that. does it end and stop and does the president have every input into everything that goes on at the g.s.a.? no, and as we move towards the election, i would say that a few independents in the battleground states are going to make the difference in this upcoming election and i don't think this will be the centerpiece of what drives them to the polls. >> it's interesting because axelrod when asked a question about whether or not he'd make a big deal of it and blame the republican if the republican was president right now and these scandals are coming up, he said yeah, i probably would. will this be an issue for mitt romney as he moves towards the election day? >> i think it's actually something different. first of all, the president has been blaming republicans. he's been blaming george bush since day one. i mean, probably about five minutes after he got inaugurated. but i think what's difficult is what's also being revealed about the g.s.a. scandal which it's wider and bigger than they thought including the very troublesome relationship between g.s.a. and solyndra that's

coming out when you see despite the president saying he's strong on small business, you see well placed political affiliates and allies of the president are being jumped and prioritized over the small businesses that are struggling so hard to get their product and services in front of the federal government. that's going to be trouble for the president. >> chuck, it's my understanding that there are 50, 50 more investigations now into the activity at g.s.a. that will not be good news moving forward, will it? >> i think there's a general mistrust of the government at this point. i think people want to see their government doing something for them, not trying to hurt them. i think people should be held accountable. is this a truly partisan issue? i think that if people try to put this on the president, i think people will talk about this administrator getting 96 votes to confirm against zero. every republican innocent voting to confirm this nominee. >> i'm not saying this is to blame the president about this. i think this will be a huge issue for the voter come november about taxes and whether or not the federal government

spends them effectively. that's the point i'm trying to make. >> i have to disagree. this happened on the president's watch. and when you're a leader, you have to take responsibility for your organization. the good and the bad. and so you can't just have the upside. so although the president may not have directly spent the money, he is responsible for the weak leadership that you saw at g.s.a. >> i have to leave it there. thanks so much for getting up so early. i appreciate it. >> thanks, gretchen. >> thank you. >> coming up, the white house refusing to let susan sarandon in. is she a security threat? why would be the reason why? and high schoolers told to keep hush-hush about where they got into college so they won't hurt other students' feelings. is this the latest in the wussification of america? be right back.

>> i got into princeton! >> man, i think that guy got into princeton. what makes you say that? >> you won't see that as some high schools anymore. kids apparently have to keep their excitement to themselves so they don't hurt their classmates' feelings who don't get into princeton and other schools and that includes no congratulatory high fives as well. he's out in denver, colorado, brad stine, good morning to you, brad. >> good morning. and first off, yea for me! yea for me! i'm on "fox & friends" and everyone is showing the country and i'm proud of it. i made it. i'm on "fox & friends." i love it! >> that's the problem right there. you're on "fox & friends" but there are a lot of people who aren't on "fox & friends" and now going forward they don't want kids to post on their facebook that they got into a great school because they don't want others who have not heard from their schools yet to feel bad. >> see, this is what amazes me, steve. what is it with these p.c.

oversensitive dorks? they seem to hate success and love failure, the same people that want to give trophies to kids for achieving nothing! and then when a kid comes and actually achieves something and wants to brag about it, they're like keep it down. keep it down. no big heads here. as a matter of fact, go off to the corner and we'll buy trophies for kids who failed. this is what i'm talking about. it's so inconsistent. we spent last summer with occupy this and occupy that of people complaining and whining because they don't have as much as everybody else. listen, if i can complain because i don't have as much as everybody else, then why can't we celebrate for having more than somebody else? that's the way it was supposed to be. you know, the president talks about being fair. let me talk about what the founding fathers thought about fair. they guarantee you're going to be given a chance. they did not guarantee the same results. that's what fairness is. >> well put. here's what some of the teachers here in the state are being advised about students' acceptances.

don't congratulate students in public, no high fives, no hugging and please be sensitive so if you see somebody crying, you refer them to the counselor immediately. >> you know, this is the troubling time, brad, for a lot of kids because they are on pins and needles waiting but at some point in life, you're going to be told you didn't make it! and that includes your sweatshirt. >> exactly. they told them not to wear ivy league apparel. let me tell you something, if you made it into the ivy league, there's three things about you we all know. number one, you're really, really smart. two, you really, really are a hard worker and three, you're really, really a nerd! ok? so here's the thing, you made it. you've been bullied. we've been talking about that. you've been bullied all yier life, made fun of. everybody was at the prom, you're at the library. you finally made it! this is redemption of the nerds. put on that sweatshirt and that second string linebacker that made your life miserable, it's your way of saying look at this harvard. have a great time in junior

college, buddy. i'll probably be running into you when you start that big jify lube job. this is redemption of the nerds? wear it proudly, you made it kids, celebrate. that's what made america great. you can gloat because you did something amazing! that's who we're supposed to be. >> there you go. folks out there watching in tv land, what do you think? should people be able to celebrate or keep it quiet so they don't hurt anybody's feelings? let us know, friends at foxnews.com. brad stine, have a great day out there in denver, colorado. >> and by the way, i was great! >> that's it for the viewers. thank you. straight ahead, a big two hours ahead. his name floated as a v.p. pick, perhaps, congressman allan west joins us next hour. is he ready to go on to the ticket? we'll talk about things that bother you. like gum chewing. while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually se arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult.

because while you were sleeping, that guy right there, george zimmerman was set free and allowed to leave the state of florida. details straight ahead. >> she vanished without a trace this morning. brand new details of the disappearance of this 6-year-old arizona girl. new clue that could change everything. >> brand new award singer clint black launching a new chapter. he's here live to explain all that. "fox & friends" live from a wet new york city. hour two starts right now. >> there's the rooster to wake you up. if you're on the east coast, you might have been snoozing in a little bit longer because it's darker out there. we have this huge storm moving in. >> yeah, i was driving home from lake george this weekend. and it was raining so hard, i was searching for another speed on my windshield wipeers. when i came up empty, i'm at

that point where i'm not seeing anything. is this the time in which you pull over or could it actually get worse? >> of course, even though some of those drivers can't see what's ahead of them mere on the streets of new york city, they'll go as fast as possible. we have this classic nor'easter moving up the northeast. some spots of pennsylvania could wind up with a foot of snow in april! what's that about? tulips pinned to the dirt. >> we'll have a live report for you coming up. in the meantime, headlines and a fox news alert. george zimmerman was released from jail in florida. new video shows him walk out after posting bond. the 28-year-old is at an undisclosed location. he must wear an electronic monitoring device. he awaits trial for the shooting death of trayvon martin and he said he shot the unarmed 17-year-old in self-defense. a missing persons case turning into a possible kidnapping. they're trying to figure out if the 6-year-old was snatched from

her home. >> we're not ruling anything out of the investigation at this point because we need to keep our mind open about all the information brought to us. the family has been cooperating with us and are currently with us at this point. we're not ruling out anything in this investigation. >> isabelle's parents say they last saw her in her room on friday night. when they went to wake her the next morning, she had vanished. a new report out this morning says the window screens to the girl's bedroom may have been knocked in. the community rallying around the family. >> ♪ you are mine >> hundreds of people sing songs with candles and prayed for isabelle's safe return. coming up pretty soon, we hope we'll be talking to the police chief handling this case. president nicolas sarkozy in second place in the race to keep his job. right now, his opponent has a

1.5% lead. this is the first time a french incumbent president has faced a runoff election. that runoff will likely be in may. is susan sarandon a security threat? the actress says she was recently denied clearance to come to the white house. the reason for the snafu, she has no idea. she insists the government has her under surveillance. those are your headlines. >> freedom of information act she says has proven to her that she's being -- >> excluded. >> yes. >> ah-ha! >> for what? >> i don't know. for -- it could be something from bull durham that came out. >> susan, if you're watching us right now, call us. we'd like to know what's going on. the people who are in charge of a lot of the security there at the white house and the president of the united states and the secret service, new developments in the secret service scandal. sounds like more heads are going to be rolling. plus there are a number of lawmakers that want to know whether or not members of the white house advance staff were

involved. >> that's an explosive statement. >> it is because they got to figure out, you know, at this these hotels if anybody had any guests, the name is right there because they have to leave i.d. and they want to see the logs and see who is involved plus a 12th agent has been named as involved. he was staying at the hilton where the president was and this was two days before the prostitution scandal hit. >> so senator joe lieberman talked about the scandal during an interview yesterday. >> what was striking to me and significant is that the 12th agent now put on administrative leave as of friday was not staying at the caribe hotel where the other agents were but at the hilton. and the hilton is significant because that's where president obama was going to stay. now you're into the hotel where the president of the united states was going to stay. and it just gets more troubling. >> and the thing is, too, is if they were at the hilton and if

you were watching the president, even if he wasn't there yet, did you leave your paperwork out or leave the prostitute alone in your room. could they have picked up your schedule and itinerary. this is some of the problems you could have gone up and go through all the scenarios. ron kessler wrote a best selling book on the secret service while citing their heroism and what they've done and how great they are. he also said there are problems. >> of course these prostitutes could have blackmailed the agents into cooperating with the -- with terrorists or with the russian foreign intelligence service. and it's a symptom of much larger problems in the secret service. which go back to management. management has been cutting corners. has been lax and i think these idiots in colombia thought to themselves, you know, if our bosses violate procedures, you know, maybe we should, too. >> the big question is whether or not this was an aberration. was this a one time occurrence when the secret service went out of the country? or has this happened in the past? now congressman king of new york

is launching -- he wants to know, have they ever been investigating this in the last five years because they would have to put forth that information to determine whether or not this is one time or if this is a series of events. also, it's come to fruition now and this is interesting, the senior secret agent in charge of this region happens to be a woman named paula reed. she was notified when this activity went on and she went and basically tried to make sense of these events down in colombia. now, you have members of congress, female members of congress, wondering if there should be more than 11% women in the secret service detail. >> i can't help but wonder if there have been more women as part of that detail if this ever would have happened. >> i can't help but keep asking this question, where are the women? >> well, by the way, she -- this woman not only -- not only spotted this, she took action. she called back to washington

and said call these guys home. they got new guys in there, new staff, men and women go back in there to cover the president and he was on his way. >> so she's the one in charge of that particular operation. but as ron kessler was talking about, you know, when he keeps referring to management, he's really talking about mark sullivan who is the guy who runs the secret service. >> and everyone seems to like him on both sides of the aisle. >> exactly right. over the weekend on the sunday chat shows, he got a lot of support from both sides, there he is, director of the secret service. ron kessler said look, there has been a number of missteps on the part of the secret service on his watch, not just this but remember the salahis where they were able to get in the white house without credentials and without a ticket plus, apparently, there have been times where some of the people that have been in attendance for the president's various addresses and what not are not wanted -- are not going through the magnometers so this is a security problem according to mr. kessler, he said mr. sullivan needs to go. >> 47 minutes ago, when steve

said it's going to be 101 in phoenix, i didn't believe you. when they said there were snow in different places, the question is does brian believe that? >> we have some proof. here are some pictures that viewers have sent into us. this is from montauk falls, new york, check out the view there ken from his yard this morning. i had a couple of other pictures of viewers that i saw from pennsylvania as well that swath of the storm going up through northern pennsylvania. and northern new york today. look at that! we're almost to the end of april. we didn't really have snow on the east coast this winter. we had it halloween weekend and then we basically had no snow. >> and the problem with those images and i think this is a live picture of buffalo, interior sections of new york are going to wind up with a bunch -- and pennsylvania as well could wind up with a foot. for the folks that wind up with snow on their trees, remember the leaves are already out. that was the problem during last year's snowmageddon is you had a

bunch of leaves that hadn't fallen yet and snow on top of it plus some really gusty winds with this nor'easter, it could be -- there could be a lot of power outages. >> so you're picturing a scenario where the trees are full of wet and fall? >> i'm picturing a lot of power outages. that's what i'm picturing happening. all the limbs -- you lose your trees and then you lose your power. coming up next, a possible break in the etan patz case. a small stain that could lead detectives to the little boy now missing since the 1970's. dr. michael badden who worked on the o.j. simpson case shares his insights next. >> the government wants you to switch to these brand new light bulbs. are they such a bright idea? wait until you hear how much they're going to cost you. >> looks like a bug light. >> you know what? i can't give it away. but it's a lot of money. >> it is k9 advantix ii.

>> welcome back, everyone. new developments in the cold case of 6-year-old etan patz that disappeared more than three decades ago now. a possible bloodstain on a concrete wall was discovered and is being tested. so what can this actually tell us? joining me now, forensics pathologist and fox news contributor, dr. michael baden. good to see you. >> good to see you. >> 33 years ago, this little boy goes missing, 6-year-old walking to the school bus for the first time. they're looking in the basement in the building on the same block where he lived and they think that they found a stain on the wall. what are we to make of this? >> well, i think it's a long shot because in 33 years, lots of stains can happen. but anything they find, they have to investigate. if the stain turns out to be -- if there's d.n.a. in the stain and the d.n.a. turns out to be patz, that's very important but the chances are it's going to be

unrelated. >> so also in this particular building in the basement it was a workshop of this guy named mr. miller. apparently, there was new concrete put down there 33 years ago right after this little boy went missing. is it just because we're so used to shows like "c.s.i." and other police shows that you say why didn't police take up that floor 33 years ago? >> there are other connections. patz had to be to that spot. they had a playground area for the local children in that basement. so if somebody goes missing, whether an adult or child, and in the area, there's somebody just laying down new concrete, it's a no brainer to say got to look under the new concrete to see if there's anybody been buried there. >> they didn't. >> that wasn't done. not clear why it wasn't done. >> now they are. >> so from your expertise in being a pathologist, what could they find there? would it still be there? if the body was buried under the

concrete, it would still be there. it may be decomposed. soft tissue gone. bones and teeth will be there. clothing will be there. and d.n.a. will be there. it will be very easy to determine from 33-year-old teeth or bones the d.n.a. of the person. what happened, how he died, cause of death. that would be much more difficult. who done it? very difficult except police have a lot of information who had access to this area. >> so this person of interest that the police have been interviewed was seen with this little boy the night before he disappeared. he has also claimed in a statement that the body was moved. so let's say that that happened. could they still find traces of that little boy 33 years later in this basement? >> that's a very good question. if a body is put into a grave site and then moved months or weeks later, any bacteria -- not bacteria, maggots, insects that

are on the body which would stay in the -- in that hole and still be there after 33 years dead will contain d.n.a. of the person they were on. so that it is possible even if a body is moved from a grave site to find remnants of the individual with the d.n.a. of the individual and the insects. >> finally 33 years have passed. how has technology improved in the last three decades to help police and investigators and yourself solve crimes like this? >> the most important thing that's happened is that because of etan patz, an awareness was made that there are people who are child sexual predators. that was not really appreciated back then. this was such an oddity and it gave rise to the whole understanding that children are in danger from certain people. d.n.a. didn't exist then.

various kinds of technology to look under the soil to see if there are any kind of bodies under the soil or from the ground penetrating radar became very -- has become very important. it wasn't then. and then -- >> and luminol, too. >> it was available then. they could have found -- if that stain was in the wall, they could have found it and luminol is used. it's presumptive and not definite. if they find a stain that's positive with luminol, they have to look further to be sure it's blood and to see if it's animal blood or human blood. it doesn't distinguish that. >> hopefully they can bring answers to this family waiting 33 years to know what happened to their son. thanks so much. >> thanks, gretchen oochlt coming up on "fox & friends", go ahead. be bad. chewing gum, swearing? being a slob? how these bad habits can actually be good for you now? i got to hear that. and his name floated as a possible v.p. pick, congressman allan west is here. is he ready to get on the

suicide and we should not allow the muslim brotherhood associate the groups to be influencing our national security. >> you believe they are? >> absolutely. when you go and look at the ft. hood report, you will find that it makes no reference to islamic jihadism, muslim extremism and doesn't talk about his association with anwar al-awlaki and classified as workplace violence. >> meanwhile, he shot -- >> shot 43 and killed 14. we're making our security situation so vanilla. if we are not, if we continue to be recalcitrant and want to be less offensive to the enemy, we put ourselves in a bad situation. >> you're a guy that has been followed to follow the law and you know the right thing to do, minus all the other changes, are you worried about your own career or doing the right thing? >> well, you have to. now you have an environmental political correctness that precludes these agents from

doing their proper job and due diligence to go after the perceived threat. >> meanwhile, it's the same thing and almost the same controversy as captured islamic extremists, what do we do with them? we put them on the playground and build them a soccer field. here's a quote from dick durbin's letter to the f.b.i. director, they will, associated on false assumptions that could harm counter terrorism efforts that could lead f.b.i. agents based on religion and ethnicity rather than suspicion of wrongdoing. what does that sound like to you? >> that sounds like a lot of double speak and to appease a certain segment. it's about trend analysis and not about profiling. it's about looking at pieces of information and pulling it together. and i think that's the most important thing. we can't continue to tie the hands of our men and women in combat and also now the f.b.i. >> i'm talking to a guy who is not only a congressman from florida, i'm also talking to somebody who served in iraq and worked in afghanistan so you understand the real threat. let's talk politics. >> sure.

>> florida, right now, according to some polls, recent poll, nbc, "wall street journal", mitt romney trails barack obama, the president of the united states by five points. what does he have to do to make a difference? >> one of the things i care about, brian, and i'll share it to you, is a top 10 indicators card. what governor romney has to do is take those top 10 indicators and evaluate it from inauguration to where we are today. you have to make the contrast and go on offense and say this is where the president specifically is failing. and i think when you make that -- that case, for instance, today, if the mitt romney were to talk about the fact that you have state control in oil and gas companies that are going to cut off that supply going to israel, a year ago, the president got involved and sent -- said hosni mubarak will have to step down. we were talking about the effect of the muslim brotherhood. we started to see that. they're running somebody for president. we're cutting off relations with

israel in many different ways. they threatened the united states of america if we didn't supply the aid. along the lines of economic security, national security and energy security, governor romney has to make that contrast oochlt do you think people in florida care that much about what's happening in israel? >> yes, they do, absolutely. you have a large jewish community in south florida that's very concerned about it as well when you start to talk about the gas prices and the fact that it was $1.84 on inauguration day and today, that average is $3.86, almost $3.90. >> what about the hispanic community that located in miami? does the -- does the republican party and does governor romney have to embrace a form of the dream act that senator rubio has been kicking around? >> i think you have to be very careful for being seen as maybe pandering to a certain electorate or a subelectorate. >> that's a real danger? >> that is a real danger. you don't want to see that you're going out and being a politician. i think you have to talk to the american people about issues. you have to talk to the american people about the economic situation, how they want to raise taxes. it's going to be wasteful. gas prices, people losing their

jobs, home ownership. those are the things you need to talk about. >> would you be surprised if you were contacted by the romney campaign, about interviewing to be the vice president? >> i'd be very surprised. i don't think -- i don't know if that's going to happen. you know, the most important thing for me is to be a good congressional representative. >> you're doing that. always great to see you. talk to you on the radio in a little while. >> you got it. thank you. >> coming up, she vanished from her bed this morning. brand new evidence in the disappearance of the 6-year-old arizona girl. a new clue that could change everything. we'll get the very latest from the sheriff investigating. and clint black is back! the grammy award winning country singer here explaining why he took time off for his family. you don't have to explain that to me and how it made him a better man. ♪

>> we start with a fox news alert. new details emerging in the disappearance of a 6-year-old arizona girl. isabelle sullis was discovered missing from her bedroom early saturday morning. tucson police are reportedly now investigating suspicious circumstances around a possible entry point in the child's home. >> joining us with the latest on the investigation is tucson police chief roberta senor. good morning to you, chief. >> good morning, how are you? >> doing just fine. so you have this case on your hands now. you're into 48 hours of looking

for this little girl. what can you tell us about the suspicious window opening? is that a true report? >> yes, it is. and we've had that information from the beginning. there was a window that was open. there is a screen that was knocked off. however, we have not narrowed ourselves down to any particular theory at this point. we're keeping ourselves open to any possibility. >> and there's a real possibility, isn't there, chief, that she was simply abducted from her home? >> well, we're classifying this as a suspicious disappearance and possible abduction. like i said, if we start focusing on one path and we go clearly down that path, then we may lose leads or information about something else and we don't want to do that. the fact of the matter is at this point, we have no definitive answer as to what occurred. and we're following up all leads. >> how many people have you talked to and has anyone -- could you deem anyone uncooperative? >> we've had over 100 leaders that have come in. we followed up on every one of them. excuse me.

and right now, i wouldn't call anyone uncooperative. everybody is still talking with us. >> so it's my understanding, chief, that the parents, you interviewed them separately on saturday, the day after she was reported missing and what did you -- what did you glean from that? >> well, we won't talk about the information that we had other than the fact that they were cooperative with us. they did respond to our station with us and spent several hours with our investigators conducting the interviews. >> ok, tell us the circumstances of the disappearance, the last the parents saw of her was bedtime on friday night, right? >> that's correct. the mother had gone to bed and the father and child go to bed around 11:00 p.m. he ended up staying up for a little while watching some tv and then he went to bed. fell asleep actually and then got up and went to bed and the last time that they saw her was at 11:00. about 8:00 in the morning when they went to wake her up, the father did, and she was not there.

>> you know, having talked to john walsh often who focuses a lot of these cases with "america's most wanted" he said the first thing he did when his child was taken was take a polygraph test. have you asked the parents to take one? is that a similar process? >> we also, you know, use the polygraph in our investigations and we have talked to the parents about that. >> and they said? >> they're cooperating with us. >> great. >> was this a one level house, chief? i mean, i'm just trying to get a sense of was her bedroom on a first floor? >> yes. the bedroom is on the first floor. actually it is a one level house and that is the way that we have approached this, looking to all the areas of the house to see if any clues are available. >> you've had volunteers in the neighborhood over the weekend as well trying to see if they could find any traces of the little girl. and i know that that's what you're going to be doing all day

long today is looking for her. chief roberto, we thank you very much for joining us today. he's the chief of police in tucson, arizona. thank you, sir. >> thank you very much. >> all right. 25 minutes before the top of the hour. more headlines. jennifer hudson heads to court today for the murder trial of three members of her family. william balfour is charged with murdering hudson's mother, brother and nephew. prosecutors say he unleashed his deadly rage after learning that hudson's sister julia, his estranged wife was dating another man. hudson has vowed to be in the courtroom every day for the trial. >> it's only been 5 1/2 weeks but former illinois governor rod blagojevich is adjusting well to life behind bars? fox news learning that the disgraced politician is keeping himself busy washing pots and pans in the prison kitchen. working out. getting sun and making friends. his defense attorneys say blago hopes to be teaching shakespeare and greek mythology to other inmates.

>> yes, he said he wanted to come to fox and meet everybody, see how it all worked. >> gretchen: let's talk a little bit about what's going on on capitol hill and in the president's office office this new development now on the secret service scandal. at least one senator is asking whether or not there could be connections to some of the white house staff in colombia. were they there, were they in some of these rooms? what do you make of that? >> a few things. in one way you could look at something like that as being overly political. but having been there, it's quite logical because on an advance trip, especially because of security, you have all of the advance people l it's secret service or people that work in the white house or from anywhere else all in the same area or in the same couple of different hotels. but i don't think there is a suggestion necessarily that there were white house political appointees involved. there is no indication to me that there is any hindrance on the investigation. it seems they're leaving no

stone unturned. it could come up that there might be. republicans, i think they're right to ask the question. but they shouldn't go too far. i don't think this is something that was dictated by the white house. it's national embarrassment and -- >> steve: security. we're talking about security. apparently this 12th guy who has been identified was staying at the hilton, which is where the president was and his particular encounter apparently two days before all the others. >> right. the other thing i saw this morning was a lead female agent has been sent down and she'll do a great job and the question of whether there should be more female agents. u.s. secret service does a lot more than just protective detail. they do fraud investigation, financial type of things. i know a young woman who forgeteled the bush twins because she could blend in a little bit more easy and help them not have to stick out like a sore thumb. but i don't think there should be more women in secret service to have to baby-sit the men or make them behave better. they've got enough on their

plate. that shouldn't be added to their job description. >> brian: let's talk about david axelrod. he was out on the sunday shows to make up for the week before. he was very intense, let's just say that. he doesn't believe the gsa is emblematic of things with the administration. your reaction? >> i understand why he's saying that, although with this particular situation with the gsa, it's like they blow smoke on the fire and continue to spread rather than smothering it. i think they were in a strong position to say when we heard about this, we fired the political appointees. there's a full investigation and we're going to let it go wherever it leads. we will not stand for u.s. taxpayer dollars to be wasted in this way. instead -- >> brian: they did find out in june that something was wrong there. >> right. so again, i think the congress is right to hold on to it. interesting to me they could have waited for a little longer for this to come out, maybe september, which would have been more politically advantageous

and that happened in 2006 to the republicans when the house democrats, rahm emanuel, bill burten and others knew about the mark foley scandal and held it. >> steve: i was going to say, speak of republican congressmen, one suggested that this is a little peek behind how the president manages things, which would be a larger issue. do you think there is anything to that? >> i think the issue of core competency and making sure -- it depends who you hire. if i hired somebody at the gsa who did not hire a good job, you could say that's a personnel problem. but i actually don't think this is anything that you can directly connect to president obama. but how they handled it afterwards, you can. >> gretchen: if you're mitt romney, don't you want to make this about tax dollars? >> yes. >> gretchen: and if you give more money to the government, which is what president obama wants to you do, then look at what can happen. this is a shining example of

waste. is that not the argument that mitt romney should make? >> exactly. i would take in an additional direction, which is when you put forward the budget, mr. president, you don't say that any of these agencies should be cut and you want to blame the previous administration for increasing their budget. do you not think there is any place you can cut? i do. the problem is for me, is that the -- the gsa budget arguably could be cut if they're spending this kind of money on these types of things. but we're still not talking about major entitlement reform, which is the real problem. >> brian: let's talk about what the president will be doing this week. he's going to be sitting down with crimey nationallen and doing his joe, because he's concerned on college age kids, he might be losing them. he's also with jimmy kimmel. he'll do the washington correspondent dinner. is it a good thing to do? >> it's where he's most comfortable. he does really well on those shows. look at some of the polls that say he is very likeable. people continue to like him. you see him on a show like that and you like him.

jimmy kimmel asks tough questions and he doesn't spare in his criticism and sometimes the humorous ones can hurt the most. i would be surprised if this week jimmy fallon would get into the discussion of in north carolina, where president obama will go on tuesday. they have a major state democratic party scandal, sexual harassment with the state party chair who won't back down. they also have the john edwards trial happens to be starting this week in north carolina. president obama is going there tomorrow. over my dead body would i have sent president bush to go to a state like that to do an event. i would have said, we have something tells do. president bush had a different outlook on these comedy shows. he liked them, he respected them, but never went on them during his presidency. >> brian: jay leno said george bush had a good sense of humor, would go along with things. where john kerry and al gore were uptight. >> right. remember, president bush didn't go on until after the presidency was overment he didn't think it was a place for the president to be and also they're dangerous. nothing good comes out of that.

>> gretchen: hard to believe in 2012, we have presidents and candidates considering to go on these comedy shows and even host, like "saturday night live." >> that's where you reach lot of people, but i tend if they were to focus on jobs and the economy, jobs and the economy, don't be like a squirrel in a room full of disco ball, looking all around doing other things. jobs and the economy, that's it. >> steve: dana perino, we'll be watching you today at 5:00 o'clock. >> thanks. >> gretchen: the rest of the headlines. george zimmerman released from a jail in florida last night. he walked out after posting a $150,000 bond. the 28-year-old is at an undisclosed location at this hour under the terms his release, he will be allowed to leave the state, provided he continue to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet. he now awaits trial for the shooting death of trayvon martin. he shot him in self-defense. will rielle hunter stand by

30 years. there is a guy in jail and now there is this guy who is having his basement torn up right now. what do you think? >> i was u.s. attorney. my office got involved seven or eight years after it happened, one of my assistants who probably is the biggest expert on this case you could ever have became very interested in it. he got the f.b.i. involved in it. really wasn't an f.b.i. investigation, but he brought them in. the f.b.i. redid the entire investigation. i remember at one point we dredged the east river thinking we would find him there. but every lead would turn out -- we didn't get where we wanted to go. ramos, who is in jail, most i can say about that is he hasn't been found guilty by a criminal jury. he has been found guilty on a civil case. but that's difference. it's just a preponderance of evidence. he took the fifth amendment. the judge used that as an inference against him which you can do in a civil case.

so you probably couldn't convict him in a criminal case. now this new development we're going to have to wait and see. who know as soon as these could be promising or nothing. if they find dna, it would be very, very promising. >> gretchen: what they're looking at now, for people who haven't followed this closely over the last few days, this is just about a half block from where etan lived. they're look not guilty a basement and they're saying that this handyman, this mr. o'neil h seen the little boy the night before and this was a work area of his where new cement was laid down right after the boy went missing. >> yeah. i don't remember that fact from way back then. stu maybe would understand that better exactly why didn't they do anything about it then. >> brian: they put somebody in prison next to him and they said, well, he made statement of saying, you could get a body into that water heater. >> that's 50/50. i've been a prosecutor a long time.

>> gretchen: former new york city mayor rudy guiliani just announcing on "fox & friends" that he is supporting mitt romney now for president. and now we're going to hear the story about exactly what changed your mind because you were on this curvy couch a couple months ago endorsing newt gingrich? >> no, it was saying nice things when he was under unfair attack. and i'm a good friend of newt. and probably if things had worked out well, would have been very honored and happy to support newt. never really got to that point. but i think that mitt has won fair and square.

he's proven he's the most effective republican. he's taken on everybody and one incredible number of -- won primaries and he's got the resume and the background for the job. this is going to be an election about the economy and if i look at all the republican field and democratic field, who better than mitt romney to carry our banner and to point out this has been a failed economic program and that sensible, conservative economic principles, this country will have a boom. we'll grow unlike anything we've actually predicted. >> brian: mr. mayor, 3 1/2 years ago when you were running to get the nomination and even two weeks ago, you were very much on the fence. you weren't as impressed as you are now. you've just had a meeting with the former governor of massachusetts. what changed? >> we had a very good meeting. we talked extensively about the economy, what he wants to do about it and how he wants to handle taxes and encourage business. when we say encourage business, we mean give people jobs. when we say encourage business,

the democrats jump all over it and say we're for business. we're for business because that's how you get jobs for poor people. that's how you get job force middle class people. i think he has an understanding of the economy that's far deeper than the president and far deeper than most people. i think what's the strength and toughness to handle foreign policy, which is an issue that hasn't been covered in this campaign. >> brian: not at all. >> when i met with the candidates, i met with several of them, i spent most miff time talking about foreign policy. i know where they are on the economy and they're pretty pretty good on the economy. there isn't much difference between him and santorum and gingrich and a lot better than obama. i want to see somebody that stands up for america. i want to see somebody that can stand up to iran and not write letters to the ayatollah like obama does. i think obama has us down a very dangerous path with iran with this pathetic desire to want to negotiate with them. i think a lot of their decisions turn on that and i don't think you're going to see that with mitt romney. >> gretchen: does it bug that you some of the polls show that

what's the most criteria for a voter could be likeability? >> this reminds me of going -- if i've got a terrible cancer or something to be operated on, i didn't go to the nicest doctor, i went to the best doctor. the guy would cost have a great personality and put the knife in the wrong way. on the other hand, if he's a great guy, this is overdone. he's nice guy and just as personable. i know both of them. i know mitt better, but i know the president. both are very nice men. president obama is not nicer than mitt romney or vice-versa. >> brian: you didn't get that the first time around. you have now, am i safe to say, you did not feel that way the first time around when you were competing against him? >> oh, come on. newt will have to get over this, too and rick, when you have one of these things, there is animosity. no doubt about it. the only time was with john mccain because he was an old friend and we palled around a lot when we campaigned with each

other and told a lot of jokes. usually ones i can't repeat. i love john and i almost didn't run because he was running. that was easy for me. i got out and supported him. i see that now as a virtue. i don't think the democrats have any idea what they're running against. mitt romney is a tough, tough campaigner. and his campaign organization is really tough. if they think they're going to make this a campaign about mitt romney, i'm betting that his campaign is going to make it a campaign about president obama, which is after all what it is. this is the incumbent. the vote is going to be, do we want four more years of this disaster, or do we want to change it? mitt romney is certainly a guy who can raise that issue very effectively. >> brian: would you consider being a running mate of his? >> i'm not on the list for running mate, i'm sure of that. i'm not thinking about running. but i would help him in any way that i could. anything i can do. this country cannot stand four more years of barak obama and that's certainly true of the

economy. i believe the untold story is he's even more true of foreign policy. he's got us going in the wrong direction. >> steve: always a pleasure, thank you very much for stopping by the curvy couch on this monday. >> thank you. >> brian: the yankees nine-run comeback. i was coming back yelling and screaming. what a gift on my return home. >> gretchen: great to he so you. >> brian: 100th anniversary of fenway park. >> gretchen: coming up, she says she donate add kidney to save her boss' life. then she got fired? you have to hear this story. >> steve: plus, new album comes out tomorrow, but you're going to get a sneak peek this morning ♪ >> gretchen: lee bryce here to perform.

everything he wants through congress and because congress doesn't control the white house, that you need somebody almost in an authoritarian way whom you can appoint to the presidency and who can exercise all these executive powers without the checks and balances. so that's why i think -- we have a two-party system that is the checks and balances, that an mates the checks and balances in the constitution and the third partiers always seem to want to go around it somewhere when don't get their way. >> gretchen: you make two points. you say third party candidates, even if they have billions of dollars like mike bloomberg, you claim they can't win. why? >> obviously the popular vote is a big hurdle, but the bigger hurdle is the electoral college. most of the states, almost all of them, are winner take all. you look at ross perot, who is sort of the modern high water mark for independent candidates, he won 19% of the popular vote in 1992. got zero electoral votes because he didn't win any states.

so that is a real hurdle and so i can sympathize with the idea that you are stuck with one of the two party nominees. but that's what the campaign is about. we have party primaries. we didn't used to have those. we used to have the back room deal, horse trading defenses. so we have a real open democratic process that yields, i think, good candidates. >> gretchen: i have to get this in. why are we seeing more than ever -- i think it's something more than 40% of all people are registered now as independents. >> i think that's a terrific development because what it says is -- i think it was jack kemp who said, sometimes party asks too much. people feel like the party has constrained them and therefore, they don't want to sort of give their endorsement to the party automatically by registering. at the end of the day, however, the two major parties do have an open nominating process where they are kind of starting with roughly 40% of the vote each and

the president is going to come for the foreseeable future, it's going to come from the major parties and i think the third partiers are just looking for an answer that they're not going to find. >> gretchen: very interesting column. the "new york post," as always, great to see you, have a great week. lee brice is back. he's singing when we come back. ♪
