>> we have live coverage. elizabeth is live in jacksonville but let's begin with rick riechmuth monitoring beryl. what are we in for here? >> we are in for a lot of rain which is kind of good but a big bummer, a lot of beaches go there this and starting summer. unfortunately rough weekend all across that northern half of florida into the georgia coastline and into south carolina. at times getting to 30-40 miles an hour. you might see stimd that 40-45 miles an hour. right now the official winds, up to 65 miles an hour. throw the radar on top of that, it has made a conversion to tropical storm. strongest winds are at the center of the storm and not outside of it. rainbands were moving onshore moving around 10 miles an hour. it will be making a trip right towards the jacksonville area

and then curving back out here. take a look exactly where it is. parts of georgia and north florida. then take a look where we have some of the worst drought. darkest colors are exceptional drought. this area desperately needs a lot of rain and we're going to get it over the next couple of days. take a look at this. a lot of areas right where the drought is, maybe two to three inches of rain and ice the pockets, four to six inches. it's not going to get rid of the drought and is going to make a dent in it. unfortunately for this weekend, memorial day we'll be dealing with wind, this could be worse, we could be dealing with a hurricane. gusty winds and lot of rain out of it. >> gregg: what about bermuda, a lot of folks are heading down there, will they be okay? >> they should be okay. it should go to the west of them. it should cut a line between the u.s. and bermuda. >> gregg: rick riechmuth, thanks very much.

>> arthel: restriction was saying high winds are kicking off the surf around florida where residents are bracing themselves for tropical storm beryl. we'll continue with elizabeth pran. it's pretty windy there in jacksonville? >> it's very windy. we have winds there likely about 65 miles per hour. it's right about 50 miles an hour so we anticipate heavy winds throughout the evening tonight coupled by the fact we're probably going to see three to six inches. one big concern you see the beach had behind me is slowly starting to disappear. more storm surge and it's still not high tide and expecting a high tide coming in as approaches in the evening. a number of folks that are visiting here. it was still sunny and nice out

so they haven't left already. in fact the number of people who said they are here to sort of experience the ride. take a listen. >> i think we're staying. i mean there aren't any warnings or evacuation notices. obviously if it gotten to that but 50-60 mile-an-hour winds. ttsz what it is. it may be pretty cool and see what comes in. >> pretty cool but we also need to be safe. i talked with the mayor's office and right now all roads are open. bridges are open. the airport is open but that is hour by hour. we expect to deteriorate quickly perhaps the next time i see you i won't be dry at all. a lot of businesses they have asked to close early this evening. nothing you wanted to hear of memorial day weekend but safety is number one concern. >> arthel: i was just thinking of that. >> gregg: hundreds of

firefighters still battling two growing wildfires out west. take a look at this fire. this is in new mexico. it continues to burn uncontained scorching about hundred thousand acres in the national forest. thick black smoke prompting officials to issue a health alert. in colorado, a fire is burning in a rugged canyon. evacuations have been ordered in two areas. >> arthel: leon panetta said u.s. ready to stop iran from developing a nuclear bomb. they announced tehran's plans to build a new nuclear plant. new facility could go on line as early as 2014. speaking on abc this week, he indicated that u.s. is ready to stop iran if international pressure fails. >> we begin with the fundamental premise and the fundamental premise is that neither the united states or the

international community is going to allow iran to develop a nuclear weapon. we will do everything we can to prevent them from developing a weapon. international community has been unified. we put very tough sanctions as a result of that. we are prepared for any contingency in that part of the world, but our hope is these matters can be resolved diplomatically. >> arthel: be sure to tune in fox news sunday, chris wallace sits down with republican senator john mccain to talk about syria, pakistan as well as iran. that is fox news sunday at 6:00 p.m. eastern. >> new fallout from a reported massacre in syria. united nations security council holding an emergency meeting. the assault was one of bloodiest events in the 15-month old uprising. syrian forces killed more than 100 people, dozens of them were

children under the age of ten. coner powell has more from the jerusalem bureau. >> this is one of singles most deadly days during the 15-month uprising. it appears the u.n. backed cease-fire has been abandoned. >> syrian denied that pro-government troops were responsible for the massacre outside homs. it took place friday and lasted for more than 18 hours. civilians say it was endless of mortars and shelling. u.n. observers confirm 32 of the dead were children under the age of ten. video from the internet shows rows upon rows of bodies. opposition groups say syrian forces targeted civilians and intentionally violated the u.n. backed cease-fire. this is denied by syrian officials says the carried out by armed gunmen but still with

the escalation in violence u.n. security council has called an emergency meeting to discusses the massacre. >> friday's attacks have been condemned by the u.s. and many other countries but it doesn't appear yet that america or any other country is ready to intervene militarily in syria. >> arthel: thank you very much for that report. >> gregg: archbishop of washington said the media missed boat. accusing television networks ignoring lawsuits filed by bishops. it's direct health mandate. steve, the president offered at least what he referred to as an exemption for some legitimacy groups. why are they suing anyway? >> they say it's still an infringement on religious freedom. that is because the exemption

allows insurance companies to fay are to contraceptives but the catholic bishops says some of those self-insured so they would be forced to be paying something against their religion. >> this whole lawsuit isn't about contraception. it's about religious freedom. embedded in the mandate is a radically new definition of what constitutes a religious community. what constitutes religious ministry. >> that new mandated takes effect in august. >> it would require them to discriminate against non-catholics they employ in order to qualify for exemption. look, steve, this is issue seems to be dividing the church to some extent since so many people including catholics admittedly use contraception? >> that is right 80% of

americans favor contraception. here is one parishioner. >> it's about health. i think religion has its place but it shouldn't be to hamper the health and i don't think the church has the right to make decisions for the women. >> reporter: one group called called united the bishops have a political agenda and driving catholics away from their faith. >> gregg: steve, thanks very much. >> arthel: a report for you, a sterling finish in the indianapolis 500, fran khetd at this taking advantage when a car hit a wall barely missing his. this is his third victory in the indy 500 becoming the tenth driver to win the race at least three times, dario franchitti and it broke the record back to

the marine corps hymn. >> chris: travis excelled in everything he did. he went to the naval academy. the attack on 9/11 only deepened his resolve. >> he wanted to be in the fight. he wanted to be there with his men. he wanted to get out and go as quickly as he can. >> he was on the second tour in iraq in 2007 when his unit was ambushed in fallujah. first lieutenant was rescuing some of his wounded come rather when he was killed. >> he exposed himself. >> he did on two occasions. >> all of them survived. >> when the family learned of his death they were devastated but also determined. >> we've got to work together to make sure that travis's legacy lives on and we have to honor him. >> his mother started the travis manion foundation it was what

kept her going. >> i feel some comfort in the fact of knowing that he died for his country and he loved what he did. >> the goal is to honor the fallen by challenging the living. through private donations and corporate sponsorships like companies like comcast they provide challenge grants. one went to the family of shane harris who was killed in 2006 for a project in guatemala. >> they built a house for a homeless family in five days in guatemala. the only thing that shows it was for shane harris is a tiny plaque. >> chris: but they faced another tragedy. when navy zeal brendan his best friend was killed in afghanistan. two families decided to bury their boys together at arlington national cemetery. >> there is nothing more beautiful knowing they lay

together with all these warriors and heroes and side by side. >> chris: last memorial day opponent visited their graves and talked about their devotion to duty. >> brotherhood, sacrifice, love of country. >> chris: but the story doesn't end there. last september janet manion was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. she fought for nine months while continuing to run the foundation. about she finally died in april just days before the fifth anniversary of travis's death. in her will there was one special directive. >> that the travis foundation continues on through family and friends. >> it inspires me the reason i'm standing before all of you is my brother travis. >> she took over from her mom. to continue find ways to carry on her brother's legacy. >> i don't know how many times

people said to me after mom died you have big shoes to fill. i do. i couldn't be more proud of the family that i have. >> chris: so she and the rest of her family will spend the rest of the day at arlington, honoring travis and brendan and all the others. >> don't be afraid to go up to a family that you know has lost a loved one in the war and just say thank you because just knowing that people remember is one of greatest feelings that a family of a fallen can have. >> gregg: if you would like to find out more about the travis manion foundation, it's travis ee manion.com. some time this weekend remember what she said, say thanks that gave their lives for our freedom. >> arthel: coming up president obama's reelection campaign going after romney's tenure at

maximize profits. there are times where they identify the capacity for the economy to create new jobs or new industries but understand that their priority is maximize profits. that is not always going to be good for communities or businesses or workers. >> gregg: let's bring in managing partner of chatwood. >> profits provide provide incentives for businesses to do what consumers wanted creating good products they desire at a low cost but satisfying consumer demand? >> putting it mildly, having it backwards is very kind. the president really obviously doesn't understand what private equity firms do. let me make it clear. a private equity firm raises

money and puts it in pools and goes out for clients, large institutions that invest that money into businesses. they don't go after vel to your capital, that doesn't exist. they go after to help businesses grow or at the same time instead of having them grow you literally are taking a company that is underfunded and needs to grow more, that is what they do. when the president says they try to maximize profits, they are trying to build businesses. those businesses then, if profitable will create more jobs. >> gregg: if a firm does not maximize profits, not just a firm or any business, then consumers are harasment because they are not getting the products they want at the lowest cost, right? >> that is right. think about it from this standpoint, a private equity firm is very similar to a venture capital firm where they give money to help companies grow. think about the late 1990s.

private equity firms fund add lot of businesses and along with venture capital firms. we saw a huge growth in the economy in the late 1990s. so when you think about a private equity person, they seas the situation and figure out where the best place the money is and they hope to grow the businesses and as a result of that you oftentimes see the economy grow and job growth and competition is good for consumers. >> gregg: that is long term but sometimes in reducing costs in the short term it would involve eliminating jobs, streamlining production, again consumers benefit with lower prices? >> without question. competition is the springboard to everything we need. we need to have competition and private equity firms will fund companies they are going to compete well in the marketplace. we win all across the board whether we have good competition. if we don't have had come possess, it's profit maximumization, that is not what

we're out for. what we are out for is have good companies that will bring prices down. >> gregg: a "washington post" columnist said private equity wasn't the controversy. it's president obama's public equity. let me quote theisen. >> since taking office, president obama has invested billions of dollars, many investments have been unmitigated disasters leading bankruptcies and criminal investigations and taxpayers on the hook for billions. fair point? >> it's an excellent point. i don't think the government should be in the private equity business. it should be left to professionals, like mitt romney and bain capital and tons of other venture capital firms that do this for a living. >> gregg: but the public equity

record worse than bain? >> bain was best in the business. average success rate is about 30%. you look at all the private equity firms, bain along with some of the others on the top tier they are best at what they do. i want to make this important point. they cannot possibly be vulture capital because private equity firms invest in private companies and not public companies. the only way i can do a hostile takeover of a company is if eighth public company. it's kind of silly. >> gregg: it's dishonest to call them that. republicans in the campaign, one in particular, use that term repeatedly so just to be fair. republicans have been dishonest, as well. ed, good to see you. >> arthel: coming up a mother in utah battling her to get her

you should get. >> gregg: meanwhile, a new jersey woman took her fight to the supreme court and the justices ruled her twins not entitled to benefits and that state should decide on case by case basis. so does gail burns stand a chance? let's bring our panel. bob, let me start with you. the ultimate question here is whether a particular state law, state in which you live in, allows posthumously child to inherit property in the absence of a will, right? >> that is exactly what the issue is before the supreme court. you know when you look at the decision because that particular case where florida had a specific law that basically said you can't leave something posthumous, that is where the decision fell. the question in utah is number

one there wasn't anything in writing. what is offensive to me, gregg, obviously these people showed the intent of wanting to conceive by preservation. as a result of that, that is what offensive to me, but i do understand based on precedent where they went with this. >> gregg: there was a sperm bank contracted, so can it be inferred from that contract that his intention was obviously to have a child if not posthumously in life because he was battling cancer and didn't know which way it would go? >> absolutely. i think they can infer the intent but the issue is utah is holding out on the supreme court decision before they actually decided the case. they heard oral argument on the utah case back in february. they have been holding out as how the supreme court ruled in the present case that came down before they decide this case. i think miss burns may be in

trouble here. what the supreme court said wasn't necessarily they don't believe that a child can be a child conceived posthumously but you need a will in place. florida happens to be one of those states if you die, you don't get to inherent intestate. >> what about social security property and you don't inherit property under utah law unless there s a is a will and there was the none? >> correct me if i'm wrong. wasn't there a will in florida but what happened there was no mention of any future children. as a result -- i think there was a will in place but because the language and they interpret it so our viewers understand. you die without a will. and intent of the parties are

there. in this case is not going to help the fight of this woman in utah. other thing that bothers me, this man, they work for the benefits. they put the money away for the benefits but because of the timing of it. it's like the intent means nothing. >> gregg: you are right about the florida case, father died in florida and there was a will but he named his previous children and his wife and not the child that he didn't know he was going to have. ruth bader ginsberg wrote the decision. i want to paraphrase. she says the law of social security is intended to benefit primarily those deceased wage earner actually supported in his lifetime. what about that? you are not actually supporting a child that has yet to be

conceived? >> they are called survivor benefits. you need to exist to survive. >> gregg: those children are surviving after their father's death even after they are born after? >> yes or no because the issue is at the time the congress enacted this, became law in 1939 last was ratified in 1965 when it was changed around, but the justice was perfectly correct in her interpretation. it was unanimous decision by the justices. social security administration says survivor benefits exist for the purpose to help people when there is loss of primary wage earner, not because we just wanted to make a helpful benefit for all parties in the future. i think they came down... go ahead, i'm sorry. >> gregg: it seems ineastbound

tackle if the children are conceived before the father's death and born afterwards and because they were conceived afterwards, does it make a difference? is that ineastbound tackle? >> i think so. i think they need to re-look at this 2012 and in vitro is a way of life for people. what does should it mean this man is on a deathbed and conceived after he. >> gregg: 15-20 years afterwards. what then. i'm out of time. bob rachel, it is a bob and rachel, thanks a lot. it is a tough case. >> arthel: we move on to this. facebook. >> gregg: i don't do facebook and facebook doesn't do me. >> arthel: maybe with good

24/7, have to be prepared for anything and they are essentially combat roles. on the other hand you have to be being off for 30 days at a time may be different. as usual it's something that is not so clear. >> arthel: but if the ladies are already out there and they are being attached to the units. why not? >> hundred percent in favor of that but we have to look at what really happens out there. >> you jump in here. women are out there, fighting they should get the glory and benefits and money and title and stars and all that go with it? >> i think they do. i believe everybody has the right compared to what their qualifications are. we can only take women that are qualified. you can't have people out there and have numbers, they are

already fighting out there. >> we not talking about quotas. we're talking about qualified people. >> they are already there and fighting. >> right. >> there is no question about that. >> good point. >> my point is you let the women go and fight in combat but women that are truly qualified. you can't have women doing this job unless they are qualified. so many times, they are doing it why are they not. what is the issue? they are already fighting. >> are we saying the same thing here? >> i a little nuance here. you are going to have a woman out in the field 30-40 days there may be physical issues that we have to take into consideration. >> they are already there, obviously they can handle it. >> the opportunity to be in combat.

proceedings and can be accused against the guy or girl that gets busted. >> any time you have information like that is evidence. think about put what you are putting out what you are saying. it's open to the public. >> i worry about children, adults know what they are doing, i say to my kids and say to adults, whatever you say on public or the cover of "new york times," you can put it in o facebook. if you can't, may not want to put on that. >> i don't buy this online communication, stop it. don't talk to my husband.

office the coast of jacksonville but you will notice it is getting better organized and on the radar the last few images, the reds and yet lows, they are very strong rain and strong wind probably where the 65 miles per hour wind is pulling on shore in jacksonville area, the center of it, at midnight. but the wind and rain will get there earlier and maybe by the 9:00 to 10:00 timeframe. storm track pulls it off toward the west hanging out here and curves back to the northeast and we are not talking about a northeast impact for this but a slow mover, by wednesday at 2:00 in the afternoon, this is off the coast of north carolina so we will talk about the storm for three more days. the center of the storm right around the midnight timeframe in jacksonville spending the next day, tomorrow, off to the west. tomorrow night, it makes the

right turn, then, and a lot of rain continuing to fall across georgia and south carolina by the time we get to tuesday morning. the good news for this storm is the areas of the southeast desperately need rain. the worst kind of drought going on is right here across south georgia and north florida so a big area will get 2" to 3" of rain and possibly up to 6" of rain. but there is a cost, with winds obviously causing a lot of rip currents along the coast and dangerous swimming conditions and tomorrow, memorial day, a lot of people on the beaches and they should not spend time in the water. >> heed the warnings. thank you, rick. >>gregg: and many in the southeast now making last minute representations for before having to seek shelter indoors and now live to jacksonville, florida. elizabeth?

cards are easy targets for fraud and rip-offs. will this make the cards safer? and now, the managing partner of chapwood investments. so, listen, a lot of people are using the prepaid cards, sending them to college kids who are away at college. or, you have a teenager in the house and you want to keep his or her spending in check with the prepaid card. what do we look out for? all it is interesting because we have one for our teenage daughter putting a certain amount of money on the card. when it is used up, she certainly comes to us right away and says, daddy my money is gone. but i will tell you there are a lost issues because it is a new industry and been around for quite a while but as this bureau is mandated, trying to protect the consumer, these are not non-for profit businesses and the people who are issues the cards want to make money so there has to be rules and regulations and it has to be

easy to understand but you run the risk of having too many rules and too many regulations and get it away from the free market because the free market will find the right places and all the right rules but when the government starts coming in you know very well it becomes tough so it has to have attention but how much. >> it is a way to keep track of the money and those guys have to make money so it is up to you to do due diligence to find out who is applying hidden trees. but you cannot have the wild west running out there in any business but talking about fraud, of course, we all are saying that we are using the prepaid cards more to keep track of what we are spending and the fees are out there, coming up with creative ways to get in there and get your money

somehow. how can they get in there and commit the fraudulent, take advantage of fraudulent opportunities? >>guest: it a terrible situation in this country. each day you turn around and the banks are afraid someone has your information and i.d. i will use a credit card from time to time and it will be denied because they want to make sure because i used it at a different type of store so they have to protect themselves and the same thing is true with prepaid cars. some are like bearer bonds. you used to have a bond if a municipality or a corporation and you hold that bond and clip off a coupon and mail those in. if the prepaid cards are stolen, people go out and use them, and a lot of the ones you buy from companies are you get from itunes or target or wal-mart they have money and they are ripped off and someone uses them right away. what you are left to do is make sure and hoping that those

people at point of purchase are asking for additional i.d. >> so, bottom lean they are good and regulation in moderation, right? >>guest: without any question that is what you want, a little regulation but not too much. >> thank you very much. >>gregg: 75 years ago an orange and reddish engineering marvel opened to traffic: the golden gate bridge in san francisco in the city by the bay. celebrating the anniversary in a big way, claudia is by the bridge with that breathtaking view. >>reporter: you know, crews say they are blown away by how well it was constructed and how knowledgeable those engineers were about the geology and the ground motion in this area back in the 1930's designing this with a number two pencil and a slide rule and doing it in the middle after great depression,

diplomatally. >> is there an october surprise waiting to pop up? we have doug and ford, chairman of civic foreign pac and former outreach director for john mccain for president. good to see both of you. ford, i will go with you first, do you think, do political ramifications have any place in decisionmaking regarding potential military action in iran? >>guest: i don't know. i hope they don't but i think they could. look, right now the battle for the white house is all about jobs and the economy. but, you know, depending on what happens or transpires the next couple of iran could creep into the election issue mode and the question is, depending on what happens if there is a strike or iran is closer to accruing nuclear weapon capability the question is, president obama's heard will likely come into question. and it could be a real opening for governor romney. so, obviously, sanctions are

preferable, and diplomacy is the right move so far but the white house is certainly worried. >> i don't think politics has any place in this and i am discouraged and disappointed on memorial day that ford would intimate it does. president obama did exactly what he should have done, he took prudent risk to get osama bin laden. i believe that the coalition the president has assembled will have success in discouraging iran from pursuing weapons-grade uranium and building a bomb, but, i don't think this president or for that matter, any president, is going to let politics intrude in this kind of a decision. >> i agree it sunday. i am just saying sometimes the calculations may come, maybe you push a little bit harder on sanctions, maybe you ease up. john mccain was on fox news sunday regardless of your political affiliation we recognize he understands this issue and he said president obama has been weak on iran. and we know this could come in

the general election calculation depending on what transpired. i agree it should not be part of the equation but it could be. that is the reality. doug: it discouples -- discourage me to hear you say that. president obama is fair game you can criticize the policies but in the wake of such a so-called october surprise, bottom line, all americans, regardless of party, would and should pull together to stand up for america and put politics by the wayside. >> will, of course we know that everyone would agree that president obama will not make any decisions as grave as potential military action against iran based on any applications and, also, in fairness to what ford is saying, i don't think ford was saying the president would do so but we saying for a hype note california, if there were to have any sort of military action taking place before the november election, you know how this goes, doug, if people are going

to point the political finger no matter how much the president cares what they say or not in terms of the political ramification. doug: with all due respect we had a situation in 1962 where we had the key -- cuban missile crisis in the midst of october with grave risk to our nation and to our well-being and no one pointed the political finger during that controversy. nor should they have. and in 1980, the hot -- hogs -- hostages were still being held in iran and the american people decided ronald reagan should be elected but nowhere was politics entered into the equation and i hope it does not happen this year regardless of what happens. >> i do agree. i hope it does not happen this year but we both know in 1980 it was a big factor on the mind of voters and we know when this gets in such a tightly contested

we contest everything is scrutinized. i am with you and i hope you are right. >> back to the home front at the end of the day would you say that the economy and jobs is, really, what is on the minds of the folks here at home? >> well, economy and jobs, yes, but i would be remiss if i did not say on the memorial day weekend, the issue of unity, common purpose and american exceptionalism and our he nuclear role in the world is on people's minds and i reach out to ford and all republicans to say that we have to keep the world safe, do what we can to prechewed nations like iran and north korea from pursuing the nuclear option. all thank you is true, it is not about the red, it is not about the blue, it is about the yet, white and blue. >> i agree, doug and god bless everyone who sacrificed for this great country.

i could not agree more. >> we leave it there, doug and ford, thank you very much for be here. nice to have you agree at the end of the day it is about us as americans and we have to focus on that, if no other time than right now. i could not agree more. >> absolutely my friend. >> thank you very much. it is true, right? >> we agree with that. >>gregg: all the sacrifices made to preserve, democracy to protect our likes and custodian important day to remember that so, thank you, out there. en a lost fun. chris wallace is coming up next right here on fox business network. >>gregg: have a safe memorial day and a great weekend, everyone. people have doubts about taking aspirin for pain.
