6:00 am
>> now i need a buzz. a big one. >> where's my belt? >> good morning, everyone. today is thursday, may 10th. i'm gretchen carlson. thanks so much for sharing a big part of your day with us. >> thanks. >> the president makes history announcing his support for same sex marriage but now he has to face the seven states of grief. the battleground states that apparently disagree with him. >> and what makes you angrier? wasting money on these scanners that were never used or finding out that they never worked in the first place. we'll detail it. >> trash or treasure? >> how much? $500. >> the famous auctioneers from storage wars are here to show us how you can find a diamond in the rough. not only stuff but people. "fox & friends" starts right now.
6:01 am
>> couldn't know that you are wearing pants. >> presto chango, he goes in the phone booth and goes behind the desk. >> when i'm not here, what do you think i'm doing? i'm fighting crime. i have to change a lot. i can't fight crime in this outfit. >> tomorrow is a big crime fighting day for you? >> thank you for the tease. >> i'm sure we could get one of the avengers to sit in brian's place tomorrow on the curvy couch. >> right. i will say this, according to the rundown, i'm going to be out in the rain racing against west point's finest. >> yeah. usually -- >> guess what? i'm not. >> i heard that. >> usually boot camp takes, what, eight weeks, something like that. you'll do it in less than eight minutes. >> the course is not eight minutes. i will hopefully take a cadet to
6:02 am
task and i will show him actually how to be fit. >> really? >> it's going to be you showing up the 22-year-old. >> possibly. >> much like bill murray back in the day. >> right, "stripes" it was the last military movie that i really could relate to. >> i thought you said private benjamin. >> the way she overcame so much. >> i just want to do lunch! >> she evolved as a person. >> that was a great movie. let's get to your headlines now. we have to start with the fox news alert. air strike overnight in yemen has left five al-qaida militants dead. it happened in the city of jahr. it leveled the house they were staying in. no word if it was done with planes or drones or who carried out the attack. authorities want you to remember this face. 35-year-old adam mayes on the f.b.i.'s most wanted list after murdering a mother and teenage daughter before kidnapping her two younger girls. a $175,000 reward being offered for any information leading to his arrest and the location of kylia and alexandria bain.
6:03 am
mayes' ex-wife and mother facing criminal charges in this case. police say they helped kidnap the girls and hide their mother's and sister's body. is it a russian snub for president obama? vladimir putin who was sworn in again as president this week, amid protests no longer plans to meet with president obama later this month. he won't be at the g-8 summit. is that in chicago or camp david? >> camp david. >> putin claims he needs to set up his cabinet instead. one of the reasons president obama actually moved the summit from chicago, that's where it's at right here. prime minister dmitri medvedev will attend in his place. brand new video in greece where the 2012 olympics torch was lit. 8,000 people were carry the torch across europe until it reaches its final destination which is the olympic stadium in london. opening ceremonies for the games july 27th.
6:04 am
>> run by a starbucks, they'll be fine. it seems like they're throwing rocks through them. >> let's talk a little bit about this. shocking, the president of the united states yesterday announced that he does support gay marriage and he can blame this -- this sudden public stance on joe biden. there are, apparently joe biden went rogue on "meet the press" a couple of weeks ago and the white house is spinning one version as the president was going to reveal this before the d.n.c. convention down in charlotte. the other senior administration officials who talked to politico said what are they talking about? we were thinking about not mentioning it until after the election. >> and if you are in my camp on this whole thing, you think this was all strategy from the beginning. which is what i think. i don't think this was a gaffe by joe biden. it doesn't really matter but i think it was a trial balloon. put it out there and bring the discussion about gay marriage to the forefront and then have the president, you know, come out and say what his feelings have
6:05 am
been all along. but let's not make any mistakes about this, folks, this is about getting re-elected in november, plain and simple. >> so robin roberts had about 48 hours, we understand, to get ready for the interview and for the announcement, it wasn't a speech. it was a conversation. let's listen. >> i've just concluded that for me personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that i think same-sex couples should be able to get married. >> it's interesting because back in 1996, then candidate for higher office barack obama filled out the candidate questionnaire. in 1996, he supported same sex marriage. then in 2004, he said he no longer supported same sex marriage and then, of course, now in 2012, he supports it. so he was for it before he was against it. before he was for it. >> here's what bugs me about the whole -- it's not just president obama.
6:06 am
it's politicians in general. when you listen to this interview that he gave yesterday, every single line has been thought about, parsed out, who does this affect? who am i appealing to? who am i not? i spoke to michelle about this, think wife and she's the one who convinced me. i looked at my daughter's friends and saw some of the parents of their friends are same-sex couples and the one thing for sure that was sought out that in helping him decide, michelle and he both decided that they were practicing christians and this position may put them at odds with views of others but when we think about our faith and route, it is not only christ sacrificing himself. it's treating others the way you want to be treated. every single thing well thought out. why can't you just say what you think and not worry about every single group of people that you're trying to appease or not offend. >> let's talk about people that will be affected and that is the people in the battleground states. 7 of the 9 main battleground states are not going to look at this statistically as a positive
6:07 am
development. 7 of the 9 have voted to prohibit same-sex marriage already. colorado, michigan, ohio, pennsylvania, virginia, north carolina and florida. the two that haven't is iowa and new hampshire. >> when you look at those seven battleground states, they account for 40% of the 270 electoral college votes that the president would need to get elected. you know, everybody -- there are a number of democrats who are even saying we're not exactly sure how this is going to affect the election and chris over at the "washington post" did a pros and cons. on the pro side, one thing that it does, it excites the activist base for the democrats and the donor base. but on the con side, the black community, one of the groups resistant to gay marriage. "time" magazine has got an item right now that says will black voters punish obama for his support of gay rights? might be on the right side of history but he's on the wrong side of a crucial voting bloc. >> the one thing that we're
6:08 am
leaving out is how mitt romney fits into this. without saying anything, you might have energized the entire conservative base to come out and vote for mitt romney. because now you have a decisive difference on this issue at least between president obama and the other candidate. >> yeah. >> and, you know, the thing is you have mitt romney and john boehner both saying the same thing. i made my stance, same sex unions or, you know, marriage between a man and a woman. can we talk about the economy? they quickly pivot and they say let's talk about things that are affecting things on a daily basis. there's no legislation accompanying this. it's the president, most powerful person on the planet, i get that's opinion. he still -- >> this is why it was well thought out. in the end, let's ask our viewers, are you going to vote based on gay marriage. where does that stack up in your list of requirements of your presidential candidates? are you going to vote on the economy and how your pocketbook feels in november. >> speaking about pocketbook, let's talk about the t.s.a. in the revelations that these new, more sophisticated underwear bombs are coming our
6:09 am
way and could be out and about at this moment, we're wondering, how would we protect ourselves at the airport? so the body scanners, are they effective? it turns out right after 2009, we scrambled to get the body scanners out there knowing full well, according to congressman john mica who oversees the t.s.a., among other things, that they weren't really -- they aren't sure if they're even effective in picking up a would-be underwear bomber and the cost is tremendous. >> no kidding. right after, brian, after the underwear bomber landed in detroit in 2009, we bought 500 of these scanners at $122 million and then we bought 378 more and now, i think there are 1,000 more on order. hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars and yet, they don't work so you got the scanners that will not -- >> we think they don't work. >> they will not pick up if you have a nonmetallic device which, apparently, the new bombs are, it's not going to work. >> body scanners can't pick up a bulge? >> that's big question.
6:10 am
>> i'm serious. what's good with the body scanner? why are people so offended if it doesn't pick up anything? >> that's the worry. then you've got that worry that we're wasting all this money on the scanners that won't pick up this new bomb and then you've got -- here's, brian just mentioned john mica, congressman from florida on the greta program last night talking about how the inspectors went into this t.s.a. warehouse and there were hundreds of millions of dollars worth of equipment just sitting there not being used. watch. >> we had a whistle blower come forward and tell us not only did they have a few hundred but they had thousands of pieces of equipment sitting idle. >> got equipment that is purchased and they let it sit there or they buy equipment that we don't need or they buy equipment that doesn't work and isn't vetted and then you have an agency with no one in charge. the president didn't choose to put anyone in the position. they left t.s.a. administration
6:11 am
vacant for a year. this is an agency that cries out for reform. >> and, you know, i talked to the chairman of the homeland security department yesterday, i said what have they told you about this double detonator bomb? he said i don't know. they haven't gotten back to me with the tests. i don't know where the bomb is. he'd be the conduit to the t.s.a. to say let's push this. >> another political move to put out these scanners to make people feel comfortable when they're wasting millions of dollars and they don't detect what they've come up with in the latest technology. >> remember, it was, what, a year or two ago they had those puffer things at the airports. you know why they stopped using those? they didn't work. >> i didn't know that. >> yeah. >> so the problem is -- >> they pick up a bulge? >> i'm not sure what they were able to pick up but i want to be under the impression that they're picking up that stuff. because we stop future attacks if a would be bomber, would be terrorist thinks we have the
6:12 am
technology. >> how many security experts would tell us what we really need to do is we need to profile. >> we have to talk to people. >> got to talk to people. and use your, you know, use your brain. >> that's not allowed. coming up, don't mess with this vet. >> what do you want? what are you doing there? >> this way. >> a no nonsense war hero grabbing the gunned used in battle to defend his personal property. that's not even the best of this story. >> occupy movement struggling to stay alive. but now someone with big ties to the president is moving in to help. stuart varney, i like when he walks here. all right, he's weighing in. >> here he comes. this is delicious okay... is this where we're at now? we just eat whatever tastes good? like these sweet honey clusters... actually there's a half a day's worth of fiber in every ... why stop at cereal?
6:13 am

6:15 am
6:16 am
>> well, occupy d.c. is now occupying office space courtesy of its friends, the seiu. >> that's right. one of the country's biggest unions is picking up the tab for protesters' suite in the capital city and some of its members aren't too happy about it. >> we feel that we are the 99%, the union members are the 99% and the 1% of our directors are administrators and it's ironic that they're investing all this money to help this movement when they should be investing money to help their members. it's sad to know that once your money leaves your pockets, they just ends up anywhere and you have no vote. you have no say where your money stands, how your money is being spent. not happy about this. >> problem with unions, stuart varney says there's no doubt that the administration supports this sometime violent movement. >> this is a direct link. it goes through the white house to their largest supporter, big
6:17 am
financial contributors to the white house in its re-election campaign and from there goes to the occupy wall street movement because the union is paying $4,000 a month to rent office space for the occupy d.c. headquarters. >> i thought they were in tents. >> they were. they've graduated up the food chain, literally and they are now in plush office space. >> they're trying to become part of the 1%. >> and they're blocks from the white house. now, think about it. this is the president of the united states in the white house direct link through his biggest union supporters to what is now a violent occupy movement. i mean, how many times do we have to run the b roll from san francisco or oakland, california, where they're rioting in the streets, these are occupy movement people playing class warfare, hate the rich, beat up on the police, cost a fortune in local government. >> we have all that on video. we know that. >> that's happening. >> but what's your link between the white house and the sciu union other than i know they
6:18 am
visited the white house. >> the sciu gave $70 million to the obama campaign in 2008. $70 million! from one union. >> now that's union dues taken from people like miss gonzalez that you saw right there. taken from them. siphoned off and given to the obama campaign. and now, given for rent to pay for occupy's headquarters in d.c. >> now, that's a direct link, isn't it? i mean, come on. >> yeah and we talked to on this program a number of union members who are, you know, they like their union but they don't like the fact that their union dues go to so many leftie causes. >> they don't have any say in it, do they? their money has been hijacked out of their paycheck and given straight -- it's actually gone straight to this violent movement. >> varney & company coming up at 9:20 on the fox business network. true? >> very accurate. 9:20. >> thank you very much. >> three hours and one minute get ready. >> thank you very much. >> this white house staffer pushed contraception on the church against its own beliefs.
6:19 am
but should she be invited to speak during commencement at one of america's largest catholic universities? our next guest says yes and we'll explain why after the break. >> plus, i'll take awkward moments for $500, please. the vice president hits the game show circuit to tout g.m.'s recovery. who is joe biden?

6:23 am
of your money since the government takeover. good news, it's the first time they aren't asking for more so shhh. a doctor booted from a cruise for cyber sabotage. i'm talking about jack cruz. he was going to speak to passengers on the diet. but he was kicked off the ship after he was linked by a tweet to a bioterrorism threat on board. the tweet said he had a vial of legionairres's i assume disease for attack. people who disagree with him, they suspect were behind it. that's crazy. gretch? >> thank you, brian. controversy brewing at georgetown university, the nation's oldest catholic university has invited the health and human services secretary who has attracted attention for her public stances on abortion and contraception to speak at one of the school's ceremonies during commencement weekend. our next guest says catholics should not have a problem with it. with hearing her out. joining me now is jonathan meritt, author of the new book "a faith of our own, following
6:24 am
jesus beyond the culture wars." good morning, jonathan. >> good morning. >> some people are signing a petition to not have her speak at this catholic institution because of her personal and political viewpoints. you say what? >> here's the weird thing. i don't know how we got here in modern culture but we feel like we have a right now not to have to listen to people that we don't agree with and i think that's probably not a real healthy trend. this is the reason why. one of the big things of contention here is over pro life and pro choice debates. i believe the arguments -- i'm pro life and i believe the arguments for being pro life are so much stronger that i'm not afraid to have the debates in the public square. let her come out and give her talk. let's have conversations about these issues. if we believe in the strength of our ideas and our arguments, then why would we be afraid to have arguments over these
6:25 am
points? >> it follows along with the arguments in your book. you say there's a new generation of christians and break it down in three ways. how? >> i wrote about this in "usa today" this week. there's a new generation of christians in america coming of age who are very, very different than their parents or grandparents and than the religious right or religious left, you could say. they're different in three ways. there's a shift right now from being partisan to being independent. i was at a gathering of young evangelicals in washington, d.c. recently, 61% said that they don't side with either the left or the right. it doesn't mean that they're not conservative anymore. it just means that they don't see partisanship as an ally in influencing the culture and there's a shift from decisive rhetoric to civil dialogue. they want to have conversations about these things, they're not just angry about it. they want to askew the name calling and the angry rhetoric. and then the third shift is from a narrow agenda to a broader one. so they still care about a lot of the issues that christians
6:26 am
have cared about in america historically. in fact, this generation statistically is more pro life than their parents generation wise but they care about other issues like caring for the poor and advocating for immigrants and waging peace. >> it sounds like from your research, then, they would not like politicians using and invoking religion sometimes for populous points of view like maybe this. >> i hear politicians talking about values. in an election year. but looking out for one another? that's a value. the idea that we're all in this together, i am my brother's keeper, i am my sister's keeper, that's a value. >> for me as a christian, it also coincides with jesus' teaching that for unto whom much is given, much shall be required. i am my brother's keeper and i am my sister's keeper. >> so what do you make of that? should politicians use religion? >> yeah, well, what you're
6:27 am
seeing president obama do right there is not really that odd in terms of american history. presidents have used religious rhetoric for a very long time. we've seen it not just on the left but also on the right and it all depends on which bible verses you sort of cherry pick to support your point. i think what's frustrating christians today is christians in america are something of a cheap date. politicians come around every two to four years and they court us with religious language, sort of giving us subtle hints that they're one of us so they're on our side and they spend four years apologizing to us for breaking all of their promises and so i think there are christians now who are growing inoculated to that sort of speech. they don't listen to it anymore because they know it's not worth anything. >> very interesting. you can check out his new book "a faith of our own, following jesus beyond the culture wars" jonathan merritt, great to speak to you this morning. >> thank you so much. >> what's behind door number three?
6:28 am
is it trash or treasure? >> how much? $500. >> the famous auctioneers from "storage wars" here to show us how it's all done. the u.s. approved this. the chinese can buy our banks? what? developing details straight ahead. happy birthday to bono, lead singer of u-2 is 62 years young today. i'm robert shapiro. over a million people have discovered how easy it is

6:32 am
>> a researcher was on "fox & friends" the other day and talking about how she drowned, died for 14 minutes, was met by spirits who sent her back. she says in her book people can come back from the dead. you know what that means? there's still hope for nbc primetime. we could actually -- >> that's great that he's watching. >> yeah. that's great. >> however, he's wrong. there is no hope for nbc primetime. except the donald trump show. >> you're not ruling out life after death. >> no. nor dr. mary neil who is a fantastic guest and interesting book. >> we don't want to ruin people's hopes because we're planning about life after death. >> second act. >> write us if you're planning on life after death. >> now your headlines this morning, prosecution expected to rest their case against john edwards today without calling his mistress rielle hunter to the stand.
6:33 am
former spokesperson gave emotional testimony yesterday about elizabeth edwards bringing edwards to tears, that is john, as she talked about his dying wife. today, president obama's economic advisor is expected to take the stand. >> could the chinese soon own our banks? well, the federal reserve making a landmark move in the last 24 hours. they've approved plans by three big chinese banks to expand here in the united states markets. chinese banks have fought for a long time to be a part of the u.s. banking system in hopes of providing financing to chinese companies operating overseas and to do business with foreign investors. some say the decision could open the door to chinese takeovers of u.s. banks. >> all right, the 84-year-old korean war veteran forced to defend his own home shoots at a man trying to rob the place. fred rishodi and his wife were sleeping when they saw someone
6:34 am
coming into the room. he quickly grabbed his gun and yelled a warning to the intruder before shooting and wounding him. i picked up my gun and i stood up. and i said hold it, what do you want? what are you doing there? he took off. >> this world isn't a safe place. you have to be prepared. >> police eventually arrested the man. he's a 25-year-old and it turns out he lives across the street from the -- his house. the family came to apologize to the couple and easily forgave his actions. >> what a story. i'll take totally awkward for $500! here's vice president joe biden using jeopardy to help out the auto bailout? >> the chevy coach dates from around the time this became the world's largest car company with cars like my favorite, the corvette. it held that position until 2008
6:35 am
and then filed for bankruptcy but now it's back on top. >> rose? >> what is g.m.? >> general motors. >> so vice president biden making a guest appearance on jeopardy's team tourney last night. he read the clues for the cars in america category. but many couldn't help but notice his politics shining through when he praised general motors and their recovery since the bailout. i didn't know his favorite car was the yellow corvette. >> really? >> well -- >> isn't that something a rich person would get, a corvette. how can you relate to the everyday person. >> a lot of guys when they're young, they dream of one day getting a corvette or fancy mustang or something like that. >> but only rich people get it. >> eventually, that's true. thanks for bumming us out, brian. >> actually people who work hard might get it, too, brian. >> exactly. they are expensive cars. meanwhile, you need your corvette wipeers on if you're in portions of new england right now. a whole bunch of rain from maine to the northeastern corridor cities and we have rain in

portions of new mexico, arizona and west texas at this hour. but texas needs the rain. current temperatures, it's almost 50 in chicago. we have 56 in kansas city. 50's as you can see throughout the northeast. and then you've got some 70's along the gulf coast. later on today, the daytime highs are going to be 75 down in the raleigh/durham area. temperatures in the mid to upper 80's all the way from florida back through the gulf coast and then across much of texas. 70's and 80's as will be the case across the central plain states. 83 today in denver, colorado, and it looks like it will be 96 already in phoenix. >> did you hear all those people having a lot of fun in our hallway. >> what's happening? >> it's one of those days where everyone is just in a really good mood! >> my problem is i don't hear laughter. i hear screaming. >> but it was good screaming. >> somebody could be bleeding but i have the sports to do so i can't be worried about it. we now know what the complication was with mariano rivera's knee exam.
6:37 am
>> i have a blood clot. >> on the calf. >> he revealed before the injury he planned on returning in 2013. the blood clot during the operation could have gotten to the lung and killed him. josh hamilton taking some hits for doing this last night during the rain delay against the orioles. hamilton and his teammates slip sliding away on the field during the break. the slight crowd loved it. but some say it was a stupid move since he's going to be a free agent and he could have hurt himself. come on, hamilton just one day after he hit those four home runs and sat an american league record with 18 total bases. that's very cool. meanwhile, the padres hitting a foul ball against the rockies. nothing unusual there.

>> couple of quick headlines for you this morning. humans aren't the only ones that love apple products. apparently orangutans do, too. six of them are using the ipad to communicate. objects appear on the screen and the trainer them names one and the ape has to press the corresponding button. and a long island gym being sued because its customers are actually working out. businesses near the crossfit king of the beach gym in long beach suing because they say the crashing and the clanging of the weights are too loud. also i think it's because of the crunch. >> oh, boy!
6:44 am
meanwhile, a stick up? no, that's airport security. supposed to keep it safe. one lawmaker says it's nothing but a costly debacle that violates our civil liberties. republican congressman paul bruin is asking for drastic changes and demanding the t.s.a. chief john pistole step down. we're joined by fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. we have had so many instances of where the t.s.a., you know, they grope people on line. we have an instance where one lady went through the scanner three times because somebody says she has a cute figure. people stealing ipads. >> we have the two elderly long island women who were strip searched. >> it goes on and on. >> look, the concept of the government getting between a business, the airlines, and their customers, passengers at the most critical juncture is unknown to us. this is the only place in our american society -- >> government checkpoint right there. >> correct. correct. do we want the government responsible for keeping us safe
6:45 am
or do we want people who have the most to lose which will be the airlines themselves keeping us safe? nobody likes going through the t.s.a. in new jersey, at newark airport, it's become so bad, as you know, we both live in new jersey, the legislature is considering legislation that would make it a crime for anyone to touch your private parts, whether you're a local police or federal police. >> all right, let's talk a little bit about if -- let's say the government were to say all right, the airlines, you go ahead and you handle your own security. >> well, the airlines have a lot more freedom than the government does. the airlines can do things that the government can't do. the airlines -- >> did they profile? >> yes and no. the airlines are not governed by the constitution. the congress has made profiling by private companies unlawful. in my view, the congress doesn't have the authority to do that. so under a purist reading of the constitution, the airlines could reject any customer that they thought would impair their ability to deliver services to everybody else on any basis that
6:46 am
they wanted. >> right. >> stated differently, the airlines can choose who their customers are but when the government chooses who the customers are, and the government violates people's rights, we have this terrible confrontation that happens every day. does the government have the right to touch you against your will? no. did the congress ever -- >> they do! >> here's the thing, steve. did the congress ever authorize the t.s.a. to touch you against your will? where did the t.s.a. get that power? >> they decided -- >> correctly. >> because we have to keep people safe. >> they promulgated a rule, they published the rule, congress decided not to interfere with the rule so they gave them the power to touch us against our will. like a nation of sheep, we accept this. we shouldn't. >> he wrote a letter to the t.s.a., americans can no longer tolerate the flagrant violations of their civil rights occurring at airports nationwide in the name of security. more importantly, the corruption and continued lack of security among t.s.a.'s own personnel
6:47 am
puts our country in extreme risk. time has come for serious action to be taken such as i request your immediate resignation from the position of t.s.a. chief, safety of our country's travelers requires drastic change and the time for that change is now. >> congressman brown who is a physician was animated by -- he got a copy of the background check that the t.s.a. applies to its own employees. >> right. >> it was nothing. it wasn't a serious background check at all. and then he looked at the number of t.s.a. employees who themselves were indicted for crimes, committed on the job! and that infuriated him and quite properly, he asked for mr. pistole's resignation. >> you add the fact that there are these stories out now that apparently even the most sophisticated scanners we got could not pick up this new kind of bomb they devised out in the arabian peninsula. >> the israelis have a very sophisticated way to do it which is inoffensive and doesn't involve touching but involves eye contact and conversation. the line are short. >> 20 questions.
6:48 am
>> like we just did right now. >> all right. that's andrew napolitano. >> that gym where they grunt and groan, is that where kilmeade works out? >> i don't think so. >> all right, judge, thank you very much. >> coming up on a day where issues like gay marriage are making headlines, why is a reporter asking mitt romney about marijuana? see a testy exchange straight ahead. what's behind door number three. trash or treasure? >> how much? 500. the famous auctioneers from that show coming up next.

up. she said here's my number. >> he closed you so quick, you didn't know if you were engaged or bought a new car. >> that's true. >> you've been an auctioneer your whole life. even as a little kid. give me some of the cadence. i got 25 here, 35 there. 55. going once, twice. sold, that's your way for $45 right there. >> you just bought joel, our floor manager. >> don't forget to pick a lady. >> thank you very much. >> tell me about "storage wars". you get this thing and it's like what's behind that door? you don't know what's in it. >> that's what's so exciting about it. everybody tunes in. >> you can see what's in the first half of it but may want be able to see what's in the second half. >> how do you see skill? i know one times you said it was lucky. you got $500,000 in pirate's gold. >> yeah, it actually took three people to take the tote from the unit and put it in the truck. >> you never know. >> you didn't see it there. you just saw totes. >> you saw bhoou rubbermaid
6:54 am
totes. >> you couldn't smell it. you couldn't see it. sometimes it's a big guess. >> remember geraldo rivera's vault, nothing in it. why does that not happen to you or does it? >> we always have something and it's up to the buyer to see if it's good or if it's bad. is it quality? do the people have pride in ownership? do they love and pay good money for what was in there or old stained mattresses? >> and that's a problem. what do they give you in terms of background? >> right, you mean for the unit? >> you see this storage unit. what do they tell you about it that makes you want to get involved? >> ok, we'll have an idea if you're a smart buyer, you will ask the managers or auctioneers how long has that unit been here, how long have they been locked out of it? once that unit opens up, you can look. is there dust on the boxes? how does it smell? is there footprints in and out of that unit? >> we say five minutes, you can have all the time you need. as soon as you've looked at the front of that and everybody has to sell for cash, whoever has the most can buy it and haul it
6:55 am
away. >> some advice you can give people in life. whether they want to buy a used car or bid on a house. >> auction industry is a wonderful way to buy stuff and you can buy real estate or cars or anything at auction and if you want something, you should know what you're wanting to pay for it and you should be prepared there with the cash and you should have a way to get rid of it and get it moved out. >> here you go. come prepared, bring a great source and have a way to get things sold. >> exactly right. >> here's the other thing, laura, what if somebody has something at home? >> don't be afraid to call your auctioneer. we'll appraise that for you. if you have more items, we'll let you know. we will set it up if you want to do an auction. >> craig's list, ebay, you can find out what things are worth. if you have stuff around your house, and you don't know what stuff is worth, you should research it and the internet makes it super easy. >> ever buy anything new? >> i have to twist his arm. i have to show him the most expensive thing and i'll work my way down. it will come up in a unit, he says. >> almost everything is negotiable in life. >> exactly. >> season three starts on june 5th at what time?

>> good morning, everyone. today is thursday, may 10th. i'm gretchen carlson. thanks so much for sharing part of your day with us today. president obama makes history announcing his support for same sex marriage. but is there tolerance for both sides or is he demonizing those who disagree with him now? we're going to reported and you

7:02 am
>> you want many i -- my dress? >> it wouldn't fit. >> you can do the show from behind the couch. >> we have to start your news now. fox news alert. overnight, an air strike in yemen killing five al-qaida militants. it happened in the city of ja'ar. no word of who carried out the attack. russian snub for president obama? vladimir putin who was sworn in again as president this week amid protests no longer plans to meet with president obama later this month and he won't be at the g-8 summit at camp david. putin claims he needs to set up his cabinet. one of the reasons that president obama actually moved the summit from chicago to camp david was to accommodate putin. the prime minister, well, he will attend in his place. new overnight, crews finding the wreckage from that russian jet that went missing in indonesia. here you can see part of the debris in a mountainside near jakarta.
7:03 am
the plane literally vanished into thin air during a demonstration flight. 45 passengers were on board. none survived. this plane is supposed to be the crowning jewel of russia's aerospace industry and the first new model to be produced in the country since the end of the soviet union. nearly 25 years ago. well, better news here, the 2012 olympic torch relay officially under way this morning. the iconic flame lit a little while ago in olympia, greece. 8,000 people will carry it across europe before it reaches its final destination, the olympic stadium in london. opening ceremonies for the games are july 27th. i had the opportunity to be in olympia there two summers ago. it was only 110 degrees but amazing. >> original stadium. it's cool. >> let's talk a little bit about this. big news yesterday, the president of the united states became the first sitting president ever to support publicly gay marriage. before the announcement, though, according to "the washington post," he apparently called a guy down in florida who happens
7:04 am
to be reverend joe hunter who has been kind of a spiritual advisor to him and he said i'm going to make this announcement. what do you think? and the reverend said i don't approve. you know what? many are going to feel it's an attack on the foundation of their faith. there will be backlash. it sounds like he was suggesting don't do it. nonetheless, the president did it with this announcement. >> i've just concluded that for me personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that i think same sex couples should be able to get married. >> but he didn't have any legislation with them. and he's not proposing legislation from the federal level. he's saying that this should still be a state issue. >> he agrees with mitt romney on that. >> that hasn't changed but 32 states have already spoken and say we think the marriage should be between a man and a woman. and nine of those states are battleground states. >> is this a distraction? is this another political ploy because of november and the
7:05 am
election coming up? i mean, let the voters decide that. but should we be now talking about this? is this the most important issue of the day? or should we be talking about the economy right now? and by the way, that map that we just showed you, this is really important because 30 states on their own based on states' rights have banned same sex marriage. the one that you see in the yellow, the seven states that you see in the yellow there are those -- the battleground states. >> yeah. you got colorado, florida, ohio, pennsylvania, nevada, wisconsin, and i've already said, that's not -- it's not for us. it's not going to happen. but the american people, according to gallup, 50% think there should be -- >> but here's the interesting thing. >> same sex marriage. >> why then in california which is known as a liberal state, why did the people of california when they went in private and voted on that amendment a couple of years ago, why did they vote to ban gay marriage in a liberal state? do people tell pollsters something different than what they actually do or feel when
7:06 am
they're behind closed doors? >> well, i tell you what, the president did not even want to make this announcement yesterday. but joe biden pretty much boxed him in with -- by going rogue on "meet the press." nonetheless, now you got the president of the united states coming out very publicly agreeing with his vice president and secretary of the education department as well saying yep, i support gay marriage. but charles krauthammer wonders whether or not now that they're tolerant of one group, those who believe in gay marriage, what about the gigantic group that does not? >> those who like obama express sympathy with those of the same sex that yearn to have what the heterosexuals have. i understand that. there's one thing that the president has done which has to say to his side show a little respect to the other side. as we saw with prop 9 and referendum on gay rights, those
7:07 am
are demonized by the pro side as bigots and hateers and often suffer boycotts and worse. i think he ought to say to the country a difficult decision. each side ought to respect the other and not demonize him. >> i don't believe the joe biden thing was a gaffe at all. i believe that this was part of strategy. this was part of a way to get out of a big issue that wasn't the economy. that joe biden kind of let the trial balloon out and made it seem like the president would have to respond. and this is, you know, arguably going to be good for the president in some circles. but it's going to end up being in the end those swing states, those electoral college votes and whether or not the people in those states, the independents specifically will go with mitt romney on this issue or the president or maybe they're not going to care at all on this issue. >> or one more day in which we're not talking about the economy and how long will this issue be an issue? governor mitt romney knew this was going to come up. knew when he talked to the press, the issue would come up.
7:08 am
this one reporter wouldn't drop it, wouldn't stop talking about marijuana and wouldn't stop talking about gay marriage and you know what? governor romney let his displeasure show. >> should marijuana be legalized for medical use? >> aren't there issues of significance that you'd like to talk about? the economy. >> this is a significant issue in colorado. >> the economy, the growth of jobs, the need to put people back to work. the challenges of iran. we've got enormous issues that we face. but you want to talk -- go ahead, you want to talk about -- >> i oppose legalization of marijuana. >> so that reporter had asked about same-sex marriage, in-state tuition for illegals, medical marijuana and the governor to our point earlier was saying hey, don't you want to talk about the big stuff? which will be the number one issue come november 6th and that is the economy. >> he channelled his inner governor christie on that one, you know, talked about that but john boehner quickly changed the topic, too, he said we know how the president stands and we're
7:09 am
focused on jobs. that's the number one question on america people's minds. i'm very curious. we had a different show before robin roberts sat down with president obama yesterday. >> that's why i think it's all strategic. i don't think this just happened. i don't think gaffetastic joe biden suddenly blurted that out. >> i really do. >> i do, too. i think he went rogue. now what happened is there are a lot of social conservatives looking at mitt romney i don't know if i really like him that much. now, given the fact that he's standing up for what they believe in when it comes to traditional marriage, plus a lot of evangelicals, they will rally around mitt romney. in fact, we got some e-mail from -- it was spam. from some of the supporters -->> the nigerian people want to buy diamonds again? >> this is unrelated to that viagra thing as well. but a lot of people are excited about mitt romney because he's standing up and there's a clear choice between the president and the republican. >> so you think that's why president obama would not want joe biden to have said that because it would maybe support
7:10 am
mitt romney in the end. but why would the secretary of education, arnie duncan, of all people, education and gay rights? i mean, somehow i don't see the mix there. >> that was at the end of a long interview about something else and then they said, hey, by the way, joe biden said he's for gay marriage. what do you think? he said well, ok, i'm for it, too. >> i watched ed rendell a couple of days ago saying what is the president doing? you can't sit there and say evolving when the vice president has an opinion. and i saw a democratic congressman come forward and say take a stance on that. >> that doesn't answer the question of whether or not that was all strategically set up as a trial balloon. for then the president to come out and make his -- >> how about this? i watched vice president live and it was like the ninth question was on gay marriage. well, let me tell you personally, and it seemed like joe biden was channelling his inner ad-libbing and all -- remind me of tootsie from dustin hoffman when he realized he wanted to get his agenda out and
7:11 am
quickly go off script. >> that's right. >> cleveland. >> like cleveland. >> anyway -- >> back up. >> how about cleveland? >> mr >> plenty of stuff for us to talk about on this thursday morning. >> especially the viagra ad, you don't know what you're talking about. >> that got my attention. >> it's that herbal -- >> apparently you've looked at it. >> it says at the top, herbal viagra, all natural. >> prescription. >> you have read that. >> what about the scottish lottery? you get the scottish lottery? congratulations you're a winner. >> i never win. it's a shame. i'm scratching everything and i can't win. >> for a while, you were responding to the nigerian e-mails. >> all they needed was your social. >> two white house newspaper reporters brultsly beaten in virginia and the suspects are black but no one is covering this story. not even the paper that they work for. what if it were the other way around? juan williams reacts for us next. >> and then the country just celebrated as the final floor of the freedom tower finished. it turns out there may have been
7:12 am
a big mistake. it might not be the tallest building anymore? only lasted a few days.

7:15 am
>> 16 minutes after the top of the hour. is a vicious attack on two reporters in norfolk, virginia, being ignored by the mainstream media? last month, two people who work for the virginian pilot newspaper were driving home from a concert when they were beaten by a mob, allegedly, of young african-american men. that incident was never reported on by their own newspaper that they worked for and the police have only arrested one person, though many people witnessed the attack. the national media has been quiet on this story failing to report. but why? joining me is co-host of "the five" and fox news contributor juan williams. good morning to you, juan. >> good morning.
7:16 am
>> you've been in the business for a long time. your gut reaction, should it have been reported by the paper for these two young people worked for? >> i don't think there's any question and i was very much taken by the editor's explanation at first because he said, you know, we don't cover every mugging and every robbery in the city, norfolk is a big city. and at first that seemed so sensible to me and i thought wait a second, the two people who were attacked are reporters. they could have offered a first person account of what took place. that seems to me to jump out. the second thing that happened here is that you have a since that these young people not only were they attacked but they had the opportunity, then, once they were attacked to offer the readers a sense of what was the dynamic. how did this take place? explain to the reader. it could have at least been a blurb and a small item in the paper. there was no coverage. it came out only because the columnist then picked up on the
7:17 am
fact that his colleagues had been attacked. her colleagues. and wrote about it and then all of a sudden, it became new so that's what made me suspicious that i think race was involved. and they say the editor didn't want to acknowledge this had been an attack on two white people by a black man. >> interestingly enough, the o'reilly factor has been focusing on this the last couple of nights and apparently they got a copy of the police report and in that police report, the hate crime box was checked and then it was not checked. >> oh. >> what do you make of that? >> again, i'm not inside the story. but again, it seems to me that there's an attempt here to move away from the racial angle when there is a racial angle and again, the problem is at that point, it seems condescending, patronizing or that you have a purpose, that you have a racial intent in trying to undo the story, you don't want people to see it in a racial light. if it is a racial incident, you have to call it what it is. i think that's what a good journalist should do. >> uh-huh.
7:18 am
so ken cucinelli, the attorney general in the state of virginia where this happened, he was interviewed last night on the o'reilly factor and bill was asking whether or not he's going to get involved in this investigation or leave it to the local police. here's his response. >> there are two investigations going on right now. there are two of them, not just one going on right now. if there was an indication that it was a cover-up and not an investigation, then the state police could conduct its own investigation. we don't give hints. we don't share investigative materials. we here is the law enforcement community. we don't share investigative materials while the investigation is ongoing. this is ready, aim, fire. we want to get this right. >> i think a lot of people are asking if it had been the other way around, if black teens would have been attacked by a group of white people, would we have heard about it? >> sure, you would have heard about it. i don't think there's any
7:19 am
question. you have to understand here, there's a terrible history in our country of white violence against blacks. i mean, lynching and the likes but what you have here is a situation, i think, where in the united states today there's a very high rate of violent crimes in the black and hispanic community. much higher than in the white community and again, most often this is a crime that happens. black against black and hispanic against hispanic. it's not often that it's interracial. that's another reason you would have thought if people are being straight about it, maybe that's why that box was initially checked regarding hate crimes but somebody would have said something. again, i think the idea is that you had reporters who could have given a first person account. it was people from the institution and from the newspaper itself and i would have thought the newspaper would want to stand up for its own reporters and say they've been attacked and yet, we don't see any of that and my fear is that again, if it's some sort of double standard, say, well, we don't want anyone to misinterpret or think that we are focusing on this just because the victims were white
7:20 am
and the perpetrator, the alleged perpetrators were black. we see things like that in history where after integration, you know, newspapers didn't report on troubles at swimming pools and the likes fearing this will just be the biggest. forget about that. tell people what happened. >> o'reilly seems to be on this story and focused on it. we'll continue to watch that and thank you so much for your time this morning. talk about living on the edge. watch this, a bus full of people plummets off a cliff. look at that bus, going right over. how everybody on board survived. plus he's supposed to be the face of weight loss and dieting. even he has trouble shedding the pounds. meet the c.e.o. of white watchers and his story.

a job. i started going to weight watchers meetings. and lo and behold, i started losing weight. it took me a while, nine years. i wasn't necessarily doing it the right way. i got to point where i realized i'm going to have to finally change my habits once and for all if i'm going to lose the weight and keep it off. >> what bad habit had you fallen into? >> how long is the segment? >> you had no idea how bad they actually were for you. >> i think part of the problem is a lot of our habits are fairly mindless. so, you know, it's kind of after dinner and you start wandering around the kitchen and there's a thing of ice cream and you're saying well, i'll have a spoonful. >> that's so true. >> and the pint is gone. >> and you're not really aware that it's happening. you're on the road and, you know, you just got in from dinner and there's the mini bar in the hotel and you say ooh, open it up and have it. >> delicious. >> and those types of things, it's sort of -- those are habits
7:27 am
that aren't helpful. once and for all working in daily exercise and learning how to consistently have a healthy breakfast. those are the things that became my go to habits, if you will, that allowed me to actually keep the weight off. i've been keeping it off for three years. >> you write in this book from the male perspective. how do men and women approach weight loss and the feat of trying to overcome that differently? >> you know, it's funny. in some ways, they're different. in some ways, they're the same and i find both kind of amusing. when men lose weight, they tend to kind of go to war so they will do whatever it takes for a period of however many weeks. the problem when they do, they get to the end and say it's peacetime. i can go back to the ice cream and lo and behold, they regain the weight. there's also funny things like men would say, you know, if you ask a guy are you an emotional eater? he'd say no. but it's -- >> what do you mean? >> it's a huge lie because actually, you know, it's like we eat for a lot of reasons that have nothing to do with being hungry so in some ways, they're
7:28 am
not quite so different than women in terms of some of the challenges i deal with which i spend a lot of time talking about. >> right now 1.2 million members attend over 45,000 weight watchers meetings so you get the peer pressure and support. >> and another two million on line. >> i know a lot of people who have done the program, on the program and works for them. >> it's made a huge difference in my life and it's the book weight loss boss was my way of trying to share some of that back. >> thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you very much. >> all right. >> go to the green room and stay away from the danish. >> i am. it's toxic. >> all right. still ahead on "fox & friends", pay up or pay the price. states taking away your driving privileges if you're stacking up the parking tickets. is that fair? we'll debate it. >> the obstacle course is now up, it's inflated. the troops are here. and one of us or all of us will be in there competing against america's fittest who are serving this great nation. and it looks complicated.

7:32 am
>> now, let's take a quick look at your headlines if we're
7:33 am
waking up. take a look at this man, 35-year-old adam mayes on the f.b.i.'s most wanted list after kidnapping two young girls and murdering their mother and sister. a $175,000 reward being offered for any information leading to his arrest and to the location of kylia and alexandria bain. those two girls pictured on your screen there. police say he should be considered armed and extremely dangerous. >> meanwhile, now to some extreme weather. take a look at this storm that swept over tucson, arizona. thunderstorms rolled through the area bringing on strong winds that picked the sand right up blowing it across the town. winds topped out at 50 miles an hour. and some heart-stopping video out of taiwan. look at that. the bus is going backwards. goes over that short wall and right off a cliff! we are told that the engine on the bus apparently had failed as it made its way up a steep mountain and there's nothing
7:34 am
that the driver could do. 15 people were taken to the hospital. incredibly, their injuries are minor. >> where was that? >> that was taiwan. and it was completely unrelated, brian, to the bus adventure that your guest had. >> yeah, steve. this breaking story just in. joanna preston, our stellar intern, your bus ran out of gas, is that true? >> that's right. it had transmission issues on the way here. >> you were able to fix it? you come from washington, d.c. every day. how long was your commute for your internship? >> four hours. >> four hours and you'd come home at night. >> yes. >> and you're graduating when? >> saturday. >> but more important than all that stuff in the bus, can you put it all behind you and deliver a sportscast? >> absolutely. >> in the stellar way that you performed for us over the past, how long have you been an intern? >> five months. >> you've done a fantastic job. now your reward? the sports. cue the music. let this woman go. >> we now know what the complication was with mariano
7:35 am
rivera's knee exam. >> blood clot on the calf. so that was what my agent was referred. >> the blood clot is expected to heal. rivera plans to return to the game next year. the jets may be on hbo's "hard knocks" again. tim tebow, mark sanchez and company, one of the few teams still being considered owner woody johnson says yes but coach rex ryan is not sold yet. the rangers josh hamilton taking some hits for doing this last night during a rain delay against the orioles. hamilton and his teammates slip sliding away on the field. but some say it was a stupid move since he's going to be a free agent and could have hurt himself. hamilton was one day after he hit four homes in a game. >> have you enjoyed your time here? >> absolutely. >> we're truly going to miss you. try to get back. get the gown on, take it off and
7:36 am
come on back. >> i will. >> thank you very much. you've done a great job. >> she's done a great job and i want to give her a shoutout because one day she put on all our computers little notes with smiley faces that said, good morning. you're number one! have a fantastic day! and we're all wondering all day who did that? it turns out it was joanna. >> right. >> thanks. >> good luck with your graduation tomorrow. >> the problem is you're not authorized to use our stationery and that was a little bit of an issue. >> see the cashier on the way out. >> thank you. >> thanks, guys. >> good luck. the presidential election is in full swing and so are the political ads that come along with that. which are swaying voters and which ones are turning them away? let's not talk to brian kilmeade but pollster frank luntz who joins us from washington. good morning. >> good morning. how are you? >> doing ok. we have a couple of ads that kind of depict where we are in the race, don't we? >> yes and it's all negative.
7:37 am
it's all attack all the time and one of the great challenges for these candidates is to create that 30-second message that cuts to the clutter and gets people to look up at the camera and pay attention to what they're watching on television. so let's start with the first one. the higher that you see the lines climb, the more favorable the reaction. the red line is republican and green line democrats. let's take a look at the first ad that takes on barack obama's attorney general. >> adecember 2010, u.s. border patrol agent brian terry is gunned down at the mexico border. left at the murder scene, two assault rifles linked to operation fast & furious. under fast & furious, president obama's justice department puts thousands of weapons in the hands of dangerous drug cartels. more than 1700 guns are lost. many linked to violent crimes and killings in the u.s. and mexico. including agent terry's murder. obama denies any knowledge or accountability. >> absolutely not. this is a pretty big government. >> and under oath, attorney general air he can -- eric
7:38 am
holder says. >> official memos addressed to holder proves that's not true. holder knew about fast & furious about a year before and obama's response -- >> i have complete confidence in attorney general holder. >> but after cover-ups and denials can americans have confidence in the president? tell obama, we deserve answers and accountability. >> now, frank, in watching those lines, the red one and the green one. red the republicans or conservative and the green the more progressive side. they were pretty much together for much of that add. -- ad. >> yes. which is rare. maybe 1 out of 4 ads have that kind of unanimity. they were strong with the visuals. in fact, the visuals were so powerful what we found is the ad did not impact people the first time that they saw. they had to see it first, be drawn in by it and then the second or third time they saw
7:39 am
it, they started to understand the message. that's an effective ad but only if people see it multiple times. >> ok, let's talk a little bit about now an infamous ad called "one chance". it involves president clinton and it also injects mitt romney into the raid on bin laden. let's watch this, frank. >> suppose the navy seals had gone in there and it hadn't been bin laden. suppose they had been to capture instead of kill, the downside would have been horrible for him but he reasoned. i cannot in good conscious do nothing. he took the harder and the more honorable path. and the one that produced in my opinion the best results. >> it's not worth moving heaven
7:40 am
and earth spending billions of dollars trying to catch one person. he was referring to the hunt of usama bin laden, what did you mean by that? it's generated a little controversy, given usama bin laden's role in killing over 3,000 americans on 9/11. >> he had to decide. that's what we want our president to do. you hire the president to make the calls when nobody else can do it. >> that ad had high numbers while he was taking a victory lap deservedly so but when he injected politics and started throwing mud at mitt romney. >> it was a -- and they did not use the initials b.s. but the actual words. how can you hold mitt romney accountable for a decision that he didn't have the possibility of making? they thought the ad was a cheap shot and thought it wasn't credible and, in fact, it turned them against the obama administration. that they were willing to give
7:41 am
credit for. there was an anger at the republicans for being too partisan and not saying enough about what obama has done. that ad flipped it. it actually made people turn against the obama administration for trying to hold mitt romney responsible for something there's no way he could have been involved in. >> interesting stuff. two great ads shows where we are in the state of the race. always a pleasure. thanks for working last night with hannity live and with us this morning. thank you, sir. >> from two different coasts. >> i know. it's crazy! >> i got a feeling you got a story like joanne with the broken down bus but that's for another time. 18 minutes before the top of the hour. no more owning your own home. or your own car. is the american dream dead or just different and changing? have we become a nation of renters? that's coming up. but first, the trivia question of the day -- ah, welcome to hotels.com.

>> 45 minutes past the top of the hour. couple of quick headlines for you now. prosecution expected to rest today against john edwards without calling rielle hunter to the stand. edwards was brought to tears yesterday after testimony about his deceased wife, elizabeth. and pay up or lose your license. several states now suspended driver's licenses for people with unpaid parking tickets. brian? >> all right, used to be that the american dream was all about ownership. owning your own car, owning your own home, whatever you wanted. home ownership is a thing of the past and we've become a nation of renters. daniel gross wrote the book called "better, stronger, faster" the myth of american decline and rise of a new
7:46 am
economy. you join us right now. you don't think not owning is bad news. >> i think a lot of people it turns out bought houses that they couldn't afford. bad mortgages. if they didn't put any money down, they didn't any of it anyway. they were renting it until they walked away. we saw how the extension of credit led to a lot of destabilization. we have three million more renters in this country so a lot of people, you know, that's out of necessity. you lose your house. you become a renter. but for a lot of people, you know, why should people in their 20's who got their first job, why should they buy a house and be tied into that? >> and pile up that debt. >> and also, you know, a lot of places have high unemployment like buffalo and detroit and those areas have very high home ownership rates, north dakota has a 3% unemployment rate. if you own your house and it's underwater and you can't sell it, it's tough for you to relocate where the action is. >> what impressed me about this book and what impressed you about the country is we've called an audible and making adjustments. the renting thing is one thing. you're a college student and you used to buy those textbooks. now -- >> check.com is a startup that
7:47 am
really gained scale. you buy a textbook for $100 and use it for three months and resell it for $20. somebody else gets the profit. you rent it on line through your lap top for $50. companies have developed new business models to account for this age where people don't have credit. they don't want to go into debt but they want to get access to all those things that they need, whether it's housing or textbooks. >> how about zip cards, you think this is another example. >> this company has had hyper growth. these guys have been growing exponenti exponentially. why? because they let people have mobility. everybody had to buy a car because you need mobility in this country. if you can't get a loan and can't get the down payment together, zip car enables you. you buy a membership. when you need a car, you pay $20 or $30. >> you thought net flix is a good example. >> sure. you're renting content, right, instead of buying it. there's a company called rent the runway which they call themselves the net flix for fashion. you get a membership, you can get clothing, jewelry,
7:48 am
accessories, etc., through the mail. temporary use. >> we're still in terms of bringing in revenue and getting -- attracting capital, we're still number one. exports are still through the roof. >> my book focuses on -- we talk so much about the things that america does badly whether it's politic, fiscal monetary policy and there's lot of things our private sector does well. exporting is one. attracting foreign capital and developing the new type of business models. >> the myth of american decline and rise of a new economy, daniel gross, thanks for which sore going against the trend. >> thanks for having me. >> and putting america on the positive side. appreciate it. coming up straight ahead, i have to get ready for a boot camp challenge. can we get gretchen involved? it's me against the veterans of the military. i'm taking them on in an obstacle course i have yet to see. first on this day in 1981 bette davis' eyes were the focus. wake up!

7:51 am
7:52 am
>> all right. the answer to the trivia question of the day, linda evangelista. winner is matt in miami beach, florida. congratulations. >> well, our next guest knows what it takes to be strong americans. they're members of team red, white and blue. a group aimed at battling the physical and emotional stress of war through physical fitness. >> joining us right now is the athletic director of the team red white and blue, lou nemick is here. >> hi, how are you doing? >> thanks for your service, number one. what role do you have as they come back into the mainstream and stay involved in the armed services? >> one of the biggest things is physical benefits are well known and the psychological benefits
7:53 am
of exercise especially in cases of post traumatic stress disorder and brain injury are also current research is showing that but there's also a social benefit of exercise where you can benefit all veterans and that's getting together in small groups like you do when you're in the military. >> especially with ptsd, the invisible wounds that people come back and we can't diagnose and might not know. >> absolutely, sir. yeah. current research is showing that exercise helps with psychological battles definitely. >> you had your guys single handedly blow this thing up, this huge contraption and obstacle course. what have you put together for us? >> evidently, this is an indoor obstacle -- indoor/outdoor obstacle course much like you see in the military, many military like obstacles set up for -- by bobbyk.com for us and we challenge you, brian, we think we can take you on. >> you're pulling me out? >> this whole team is taking on brian? >> that's right. that's right. >> all right! >> the guy that's going down
7:54 am
first. >> get him! get him, surge! >> so assume your positions, fellas. this is very much like -- >> you can go ahead over there. >> just a blow-up version obstacle course. >> i think so. >> of course, as we know, lou, real boot camp takes eight weeks or something like this. >> surge is a marine. it's a little longer for him. >> i've never been through this course. have you? >> you haven't. >> all right. are you guys ready? are we ready? can i get some music, please? to inspire me? >> ready, set, go! >> they're neck and neck right now. come on! >> what are you doing? >> they're going to -- >> with the rope and the things that look like camouflage. up the little incline. all right! brian is actually winning right now but he's dragging his wireless mike. he's going up the very tall incline as you can see right
7:55 am
there. over the backside. come on! >> all right. who will win? brian! oh, my goodness. brian, what did you do -- here he comes, surge. way to go. congratulations. >> pick up your mike. >> good tries! brian. >> good job. >> wow! >> very nice. >> i lost all my money. >> i know. >> lou, am i officially in the military now? am i officially in the military? >> you're officially an athlete with red, white and blue. and need the people to go out and sign up for red, white and blue. you can an athlete or advocate. if you know a veteran, we'll give them a t-shirt for free. grab veterans and join up and i have shirts for you guys as well. >> good luck. big round of applause for team rwb. thank you very much, lou. >> thank you very much. >> thanks to all you guys for your service for your country and if i didn't tackle -- if i didn't tackle certainly, that
7:56 am
was thrilling! >> all right. straight ahead, remember steve gutenberg from movies like "police academy"? >> good evening, ladies and gentlemen. i'm terry mahoney from the police academy. >> classic. did you also know he disappeared from hollywood on purpose? he's back and revealing what happened. >> the aclu challenges the 10 commandments in court. the court says let's count them down to six. michelle malkin with her reaction. this is delicious okay... is this where we're at now? we just eat whatever tastes good? like these sweet honey clusters... actually there's a half a day's worth of fiber in every ... why stop at cereal? bring on the pork chops and the hot fudge. fantastic. are you done sweetie? yea
7:57 am
[ male announcer ] fiber one. a body at rest tends to stay at rest... 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. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammatio plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. a celebrex is not a narcotic.
7:58 am
when it comes to relieving your arthritis pain, you and your doctor need to balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naen, and melocam have the same cardiovascar warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart dease or risk factors such as high blo pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, including celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions or stomach anintestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. do not take celebrex if you'v had an asthma attack, hives, oother allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion.

>> gretchen: good morning, everyone. today is thursday, may 10. i'm gretchen carlson. thanks for sharing your time with us today. the president makes history announcing his support for same sex marriage. but now he has to face the seven states of grief. the swing states? they apparently disagree. >> steve: apparently there is a problem with the ten
8:00 am
commandments and an order to fix it, a judge says we only need six commandments. michelle malkin here to weigh in. >> brian: another day in paradise. ♪ so nice ♪ just another day in paradise ♪ . >> brian: you snow phil vasser is here. today he'll perform his new single live. >> steve: brian kilmeade, congratulations on beating serge on the inflatable boot campment he william through real boot camp. i don't know that any us could survive. >> brian: i know we couldn't. he let me have it. it's a good workout. i really recommend we start every show every day, instead of doing the promo, we do that.
8:01 am
>> gretchen: i totally disagree. >> brian: that's why we give and take. >> gretchen: i'm all fork woring out. but it's a little problematic with hair and make-up. >> steve: let's go at midnight. >> brian: the guys said they only had one channel on in afghanistan and iraq. it was our channel. >> gretchen: the only problem is, you left half your equipment out there. >> brian: the control room is yelling at me. >> gretchen: we'll tell you. >> brian, you're fired. >> brian: i heard that. >> gretchen: maybe you can get jawed while i read the headlines. five suspected terrorists are dead after an overnight air strike in yemen. happened in jar. it leveled the house they were staying in. we don't know if the u.s. is responsible for that strike. yemen is the home to a terrorist resurgence group that pledges allegiance to al-qaeda. russian snub for president obama. putin, who was sworn in again as president earlier this week, no longer plans to meet with president obama later this month. he also won't be at the g 8
8:02 am
summit e. claims he needs to set up his cabinet. one of the reasons president obama actually moved the summit from chicago to camp david was to accommodate putin. prime minister medvedev had attend in his place. crews trying to reach the wreckage of that russian jet that crashd into a mount side. the plane literally vanished during a demonstration flight. 45 passengers were on board. none survived. the plane is supposed to be the crowning jewel of russia assurer space industry. it was the first to be produced since the end of the soviet union nearly 25 years ago. a heart warming homecoming for a marine and father of six. staff sergeant jeremy cooney and his wife were told their son michael would never be able to do much on his own. he has cerebral palsy. when dad was in afghanistan for seven months, michael learned to walk, surprising his father when he got home.
8:03 am
>> gretchen: sorry, guys, you got to read. >> steve: powerful images. that is fantastic reunion. >> brian: think about how far that young man had to work to be able to do that. >> steve: no kidding. right there into the arms of his father. that is great. four minutes after the top of the hour on this thursday. there's a lot of reaction this morning after president obama made history as the first sitting president to publicly support gay marriage. wendell goler live at the white house already. good morning to you, wendell. >> good morning, steve. the president said his mind was made up by friends, family, neighbors, members of his own staff who have committed same
8:04 am
sex relationships, some are raising kids together. he said his daughters have friends whose parents are same sex couples and their open attitudes attitudes are, quote, the kind of thing that prompt change in perspective e. talked about ending don't ask, don't tell. >> when i think about those soldiers or airmen or marines, sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet, feel constrained, even now that don't ask don't tell is gone because they're not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point i've concluded that for me personally , it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that i think same sex couples should be able to get married. >> the president had decided to announce his support for same sex marriage before the fall,
8:05 am
but he admits his timing was pushed by vice president biden's comments in support last week. he denies the announcement was politically motivated and said it's not clear how it will play out politically and likely to hurt him among religious african-americans, votes he may need to carry states like north carolina, which voted this week to ban same sex marriage and will host the democratic convention this september. mitt romney in colorado made his opposition quite clear. >> i do not savor marriage between people of the same gender and i don't favor civil unions if they're identical to marriage. my view is that domestic partnership benefits, hospital, visitation rights and the like are appropriate, but that the others are not. >> president's comments opened a new dimension to the fall election that was expected to turn on the economy. one of the president's spiritual advisor is predicting it will cause as much hurt as it will help.
8:06 am
mr. obama called him yesterday. hunter told him he did not approve. steve? >> steve: all right. wendell goler live in dc, we thank you very much. now let's turn to michelle malkin. wendell laid it out, what the president did yesterday perfectly. but politically, he's got some worry probably in the swing states. >> yeah, he sure does. i pointed this out last night on hannity that if you look at the 32 states that have had legislative or referendum vote on this issue, 32 of them voted to protect the traditional definition of marriage. it's not just your expected southern conservative states like mississippi or north carolina that have weighed in that way. of course, it's liberal states like california and hawaii and the swing states you mentioned and the ones that have voted for upholding the traditional view of marriage include florida and ohio and michigan.
8:07 am
but i think it's not so much that this is a politically or electorally driven decision by the president as it is a campaign finance decision. there are wealthy progressive donors that have not been happy with the president's hedging around this issue. they wanted more. >> steve: evolving. >> yes. he doesn't evolve so much as he transmografies. i mean, if you look at the last 16 years, every time he has weighed in and changed his mind and held multiple positions on this all at once, it is driven by politics. 96, he was for it. 2004 after he lost his state senate seat and was trying to get it back, he was against it. >> gretchen: michelle, do the voters see through that? let's say -- let's go on a wild guess and say there was some politics involved in this, do
8:08 am
the voters see that? it seemed in that interview he gave, he touched on every possible political group that might be affected by this. the troops, he talked about christians. he talked about how this decision related to all those voting blocs. >> yeah, that's right. and he's stretched himself out everywhere. the same way that he accuses mitt romney of being an etch a sketch, he is like silly putty. you can stretch him out so he covers every single group, roll him up, bounce him off the wall and he'll hit every single one. >> brian: i understand the vice president's interview was taped on friday. i'm not sure if i'm starting to agree with gretchen a little bit more that maybe the vice president was put up to this entire thing because by tuesday, he's contacted abc to say he's gog have a major interview about this. so it seems like the administration couldn't have been caught flat footed on monday if they on a knew about
8:09 am
this interview and what in it on friday. >> with diarrhea of the mouth, you never know if it was intentional or not. the consequence is not good for the president 'cause once again he, leading from behind rather than forward is the impression that it leaves with the general public. just as gretchen said, the impression is this is somebody who has no core principle and at a time when he's trying to distinguish himself from mitt romney, this is not going to help. >> brian: he's got to get a lot of money at the george clooney party which is tonight, about a million dollars already since he made the announcement. >> yeah. >> steve: let's move quickly, we're almost out of time. we want to talk about this: a judge in the great state of virginia, i believe, the question was this ten commandment display in a school. the judge trying to come up with an idea to appease the aclu.
8:10 am
he said, let's just remove the first four. so let's have the ten commandments, but really we'll have six commandments. >> yeah, that's right. and next we'll edit it so they're not commandments, they're suggestions. when i first read this story, i really thought he was half kidding. but apparently not. and in fairness, of course, the aclu has defended the free speech rights of christian students to display the ten commandments on their locker doors. so in this case, as they claim in a lot of other case, what they're worried about is an official endorsement of religion because this was a school board making the display. but matthew state offer, liberty counsel, defending the school board says the ten commandments in this display is one of many historical documents and it's defensible and constitutional. >> gretchen: moses fainted when the judge suggested -- and maybe some other people around the
8:11 am
world who still believe in the ten commandments also fainted. we got to wrap it up there, but have a fantastic rest of the week. >> you too. >> steve: straight ahead, remember when banks botched foreclosures by letting robots robo sign the papers? should those families get to keep their houses? a big decision is about to company down and bob massi, our expert in this area, is live next. >> brian: then he wanted a job in hollywood. so at the age of 17, he broke into lucille ball's make-up room. steve gutenberg here to share that story and more. yes, you wrote that, steve. that's your life. >> how are you doing today, huh? my name is donny, that's right! but you can call me mr. cool, you know what i'm saying? what's your name, huh? i've seen you around the neighborhood. what's the matter? cat gotan your tongue? energy.

8:15 am
foreclosures by letting row about the sign the papers? should those families get to keep their homes then? a big decision is about to come down in florida. fox news legal analyst bob massi joins me with more on this. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> gretchen: so i remember these cases where people were able to keep their homes, right, because these robo calling or robo signing had taken place. explain how we got to this place. >> this is a great case. it's going to be heard in front of the florida supreme court today. here is what happened: a law firm filed for a judicial foreclosure in florida. judicial foreclosures mean the court has to enter the order to foreclose. the lawyer that represented the homeowner, gretchen said, wait a second, i believe that there is some questions about the documents that you filed with the court. so the day before depositions were to be taken, which is sworn testimony, the bank decided on their own to voluntarily dismiss the case
8:16 am
because the documents were fraudulent that were filed. so the lawyer ends up making an arrangement, a settlement confidential with his client. but the lawyer said wait a second. if you, the bank, file fraudulent papers with the court and you, the lawyer, as an officer of the court, you should not be allowed to just dismiss this case without sanctions against you. so what he did, it went to the appellate court in florida. the appellate court sent it to fellow there and the supreme court today is going to rule that if a lender file has foreclosure action against a homeowner and the documents they filed were fraudulent, why should they be allowed to dismiss the case and get a second bite of the apple? a tremendous argument by this lawyer and i can't wait to see what the supreme court does in florida. floridians should be proud. >> gretchen: what do you think the court will do? >> here is what they're being asked: the lawyer that
8:17 am
represented the homeowner is saying listen, if you file a fraudulent document before the court -- and remember action we as lawyers, this is not only an ethical violation, if you not only do it -- knowingly do it, he is saying to the court, judge, they should not be allowed to refile against these people. they shouldn't -- this is not like an oops. oh, jeez, i filed the wrong document. these are fraudulent documents! these are documents that were going to take somebody's house away which you and i have reported on hundreds and thousands of people in this country -- and our country, homes were taken away wrongfully because there was fraud involved. this court will hear the arguments today. they're giving each side about 20 to 25 minutes. the justice also ask questions and then probably in the next few months they will render a decision. if they rule in favor of this homeowner and they say that these lend divorce a
8:18 am
responsibility and should not get a second bite of the apple, gigantic consequences for homeowners and lenders in florida. actually throughout the country where there is judicial foreclosure. >> gretchen: very interesting to follow this case because all those homeowners might get their homes back? ten seconds. >> i want to see a lender just get slammed. i would sleep very good. >> gretchen: there you have it. we look forward to next week. have a great weekend. >> all right. >> gretchen: if you have questions, e-mail bob by logging on to our web site. send your e-mails to him. he ans them. don't mess with mitt. >> aren't there issues of significance that you'd like to talk about? the economy, the growth of jobs, the need to put people back to work? >> gretchen: the question that got romney all fired up. he want add job in hollywood. so at the age of 17, he broke into lucille ball's make-up room? steve gutenberg here with story

parents were nice enough to let me go. if you think about letting your kid go out to hollywood at 17 years old. >> steve: the reason it's crazy is because on the first page of your book, you talk about how you go into the office of an agent, i wouldn't you are all excited about becoming a big star and what does he say? >> he says, you are the last guy i would ever think to be a movie star. they told bruce willis the same thing. the great thing about show business is it's anybody's game. if you believe in yourself and you believe you can make it, then you're the one who is right. >> brian: when did you believe you were going to make it or was it a movie? twas a role? >> 15 minutes ago. >> steve: doocy knew your name. >> i was lucky. i have great parents and they always instilled in me a belief in myself that you can be anything you want to be and they also are great americans and they believe in this country. and this is, i believe, the only country in the world where you can say, i want to be -- i want to go to the top of the tower

[ laughter ] >> brian: steve, you go to the
8:26 am
top, you got "cocoon," is it harder to get there or sustain it? >> i think if you -- the problem with looking at an actor's career is forgetting he's an artist. actorrist's careers go up and down. it's cycle. sometimes you're painting cell and sometimes they don't. you have to go with the role. and you have to enjoy the game, 'cause it's just a game. >> steve: in the book, you start when you went to hollywood in 1976 and ends about ten years later with "three men and a web." it ends right there. where did go? >> i wrote 600 pages and my editor said, if you do your whole life, your whole career parks years, this will be a 2,000 page book. you're not christopher plummer. we made it the first ten years and thought we'd do a second and then a third one. >> steve: why did you walk away? >> because i wanted to spend more time with my family and my friends and i'm a pretty

>> steve: fox business alert. the labor department just releasing brand-new weekly jobless numbers. 367,000 first-time unemployment claims were filed last week. that's up from 365 the week before. economists were expecting in that range, about 369. eric bolling joins us for instant analysis. >> right at the number that they were expecting, economists say we were 365 and 369. elevated. we talk about it every week. new people walking into the unemployment office for the first time. since the last time i was here, the unemployment rate came out last month, unemployment situation, kind of interesting. a couple of things that really jumped out last friday. the rate stayed the same, 8.1% unemployed. but another 550,000 people removed themselves from the work force, they're called marginally attached. which means they've looked work for the past 12 months and have
8:33 am
given up. there are millions of people sitting out there who think the economy is so bad, they can't go find work. >> brian: do you think the 99 weeks of unemployment makes people say, all right. i'm taking off for a while? >> there is another number every month that's released called duration. if you go to the bls and type in duration, just how long on average the median time people stay on unemployment benefits. when president obama took office, the average amount of time was 19 weeks. don't forget, that was in the middle of the resomething anyway. because they've extended it from the amount of time you can stay on unemployment from 26 weeks to 55 weeks to 99 weeks now, that duration has more than doubled. up to 40 weeks on unemployment. so the longer you have to stay on unemployment, the longer you stay on unemployment. >> gretchen: especially if a job you're going to go get is going to pay you less than the unemployment benefits. >> right. >> gretchen: let's change gears a little bit and talk about the tsa because the question this morning is what makes you angrier, wasting money on tsa scanners not being used or
8:34 am
buying them knowing they would never work in the first place? what? >> yeah. turns out we may have some sound from mic. but turns out that we've spent, taxpayers spent $122 million on 500 of those scanners. and also because they may give you radiation, some people say they don't want the radiation. that's where the don't touch my junk stuff comes from. what they knew prior to buying those for $122 million is it would only work if there was metal in the explosive. so this new bomb they found wouldn't have work. the problem comes that they're planning on buying another 1400 more at a cost of somewhere -- total cost could be close to $350 million for things that honestly now are antiquated. >> gretchen: when the first crotch bomber tried to blow up the plane in 2009 -- don't

laugh. i'm using the lingo of this guy. you remember back then, the call was, why can't we get more of these machines in here immediately? so this is probably an overflow from that. now they've moved on with technology. >> right. so stop. don't spend the other 250 million bucks. a lot of money. >> brian: it's got to go back to personal interaction. that's what's going to keep the airports safe. >> one more thing, million ask a half, maybe $2 million is what it's going to cost the taxpayer to fly president obama to the west coast, seattle and down to the big george clooney event. now it looks like it's going to raise $15 million for the president. so we're financing -- crazy. >> gretchen: you'll have to chat about that on "the five." >> steve: we'll watch. >> thank you. >> gretchen: now for your headlines. mitt romney channeling new jersey chris christie and telling a reporter how he really feels when she tries to focus on medical marijuana as a major campaign issue. >> aren't there issues of significance that you would like to talk about?

the economy? >> this is a significant issue. >> the growth of jobs? the need to put people back to work? the challenges of iran? we've got enormous issues that we face. >> gretchen: romney did say he opposes the legalization of marijuana. it's a hot topic in colorado apparently right now. the reporter also asked about illegal immigration and gay marriage, but apparently no economic issues. >> brian: you got to see this, a bus full of tourists veering rice off a cliff into taiwan. the engine reportedly failed as the bus made its way up the steep mount side. 15 people taken to the hospital. nobody hurt. >> steve: that is amazing. now extreme weather. this is something new from outer space. one of the largest sun spots in years found swirling on the surface of the sun, it's about ten times the size of planet earth and it's spitting out massive solar flares as we speak. nasa says it's too early to tell whether those flare also impact
