6:00 am
>> yeah, if you don't do a good job, we're going to shave your head. >> that's what the other girl got. we'll tell you about that story. thanks so much for being here. >> great to be here. >> briggs is off in the mountains of colorado. nice to see mike in this morning. start with some headlines this morning. >> let me do that for you right now. jerry sandusky is facing the rest of his life in prison after convicted of abusing 10 young boys. found guilty of 45 out of 48 charges against him. he was immediately taken from the central pennsylvania courthouse to jail last night after the judge revoked his bail. he'll be sentenced in three months. the family of sandusky's former boss joe paterno releasing this statement. "although we understand the task of healing is just beginning, today's verdict is an important milestone. the community owes a measure of gratitude to the jurors for their diligent service. our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the victims and their families."
6:01 am
lawyers for sandusky say they plan to appeal. now for an extreme weather alert for you because the gulf coast is bracing for heavy wind and rain as the tropical storm system is swirling in the gulf of mexico. debbie is her name. and she'll be the fourth named storm of the atlantic hurricane season. for more on that, let's go to maria in the extreme weather center. what do we know? >> good morning. good to see you. it's not named debbie just yet. it's an area of low pressure, showers and thunderstorms across the gulf of mexico so the center of the storm system is still over open water but the issue here is that winds are very conducive for this storm to continue to develop and intensify. and the warm water of the gulf will help it intensify as well. you can see the center of the storm system or what appears to be the center of it basically slowly spinning across the gulf of mexico blowing up a lot of showers and thunderstorms across western portions of cuba and also to the west of the state of florida and regardless of what the storm system does over the next 48 hours, we know it has an
6:02 am
80% chance of becoming a tropical storm named debbie in the next 48 hours but regardless of what it does, is that it will be producing a lot of heavy rain across the stay -- state of florida and across areas along the gulf of mexico. anyone who lives across western parts of florida, southern portions of alabama and mississippi, you need to remain alert. some of the tropical models are saying that the storm system will continue to intensify continue in a track maybe northward and you can see a lot of them basically don't know what's going on with this storm system over the next several days. we'll have to keep a close eye on it. the longer it sits over the gulf of mexico, the more this storm system will continue to intensify. that's something we really have to track. it will produce a lot of heavy rain over florida. we're talking about well over on the order of basically 4 or 8 or even 12 inches of rain here across the next five days areas north of tampa. already starting to see the
6:03 am
showers and storms coming on shore in south florida. ali? >> thanks for breaking that down. looks very serious. >> turkey, meanwhile, is pledging to take necessary action against syria a day after a turkish war plane went missing they are saying the plane was brought down after it entered syrian airspace. it is fueling tensions between the former allies. it comes as they ask for other nations to step down amid the renewed violence there. supreme court ruling on president obama's health care overhaul could only as early as monday? the stakes are high for the ruling of the constitutionality of the affordable care act and until a decision is made, both sides of the aisle are bracing for the potential fallout. the court heading into what looks like its final week. the last scheduled day in court being monday but the justices could announce more meetings for the rest of the week. it is certain to be a very big week at the supreme court. lots of important decisions including the arizona immigration act as well. >> we'll discuss whether or not both of those things get shot
6:04 am
down, immigration and health care reform from the supreme court a little bit later in the show and what that means for the obama administration. >> we go right back to florida. >> let's head back there. >> we're all controversy over there. >> it's so true. >> and storminess. >> and everybody is up on the east coast of florida right now, in the state of florida watching us. so it's always interesting to watch politicians courting the same group of voters, potential voters. that's exactly what happened in the state of florida this week. at the national association of latino elected and appointed officials. >> not on the agenda is shortening the name of the panel by the way. but yeah, it was interesting to see, of course, because right now you look at the poll numbers. president obama certainly much, much higher than mitt romney. >> doubles him, doesn't he? >> doubles him by a long shot but, of course, all eyes on whether or not mitt romney is able to court the latino vote and actually get some of those percentages up for himself because it could be vital to his re-election campaign. president obama really brought the house down, i think, yesterday. they are speaking to this group and he kicked it off by talking
6:05 am
about. this listen. >> we should have passed the dream act a long time ago. it was written by members of both parties. when it came up for a vote a year and a half ago, republicans in congress blocked it. >> the bill hadn't changed. the need hadn't changed. the only thing that had changed was politics. >> you could hear the rousing applause there. >> sounded like an applause track. >> i believe those were live people clapping because that, as i say, was at the conference of this group of hispanic leaders there. so what's interesting about what the president said is that the associated press then fact checked what he said and said he wasn't being entirely honest about what happened. that the dream act did fail in congress but not just because of republicans. there were democrats that also
6:06 am
didn't vote for it which is why he then says head to take this executive order, this directive last week to move it all along. meanwhile, mitt romney was at the very same event a day earlier and he got a slightly different response from the crowd when he talked about immigration. >> last week, the president finally offered a temporary measure. he called it a stop gap measure. that he seems to think will be just enough to get him through the election. after 3 1/2 years of putting every issue from loan guarantees to his donors to cash for clunkers, putting all those things before immigration, now the president has been seized by an overwhelming need to do what he could have done on day one. but didn't. i think you deserve better. >> so governor romney there sort of tiptoeing or rather walking on egg shells in front of that group. >> was there anybody in the audience? you could have heard a pin drop. >> it was one guy's golf clap. it was certainly a much
6:07 am
direction from president obama to mitt romney there but marco rubio also brought the house down there and he would say, look, both political parties have turned this thing into a political issue and he's kind of sick and tired of it. >> why is this issue simplified? i'll tell you right now. because it is powerful politics. it is a powerful political issue. i have seen people use it to raise money. i have seen people take the legitimate concerns about illegal immigration and turn it into panic and turn that panic into fear and anger and turn that anger into votes and money. i've also seen people on the other direction. anyone who disagrees with their ideas on illegal immigration is anti-immigrant and anti-hispanic. that's ridiculous. it's ridiculous. everything is about politics. i've seen it first hand. >> a big question, though, is whether or not governor romney can pick up enough percentage points in the latino community to put him in the white house. >> you said polls at 62 to -- >> 61-27. that was the last "wall street
6:08 am
journal" poll and that was before president obama came out and changed the status for young -- >> some say why bother to go? why bother to court that vote? can you win without courting them? >> i guess if you can get a few percentage points, you can notch up just a little bit and the idea is that charles krauthammer last night said on "special report" that he doesn't think -- he thinks romney can win without the latino vote even if he gets a few percentage points because president obama could lose in other key demographic areas that romney can pick up. listen. >> well, i think he could win with nonhispanics depending, of course, on how strong of a margin it is. for example, he's going to suffer -- obama will suffer among the jews. he's going to have a lot smaller percentage than he did in 2008 so it could be offset. romney gets, perhaps, a third of the vote that he needs but he could survive with 20%, 25%. >> much more on that coming up a little bit later in the show. >> meanwhile, let's talk about some creative punishment.
6:09 am
you know you've heard these stories where judges dole out some unusual punishment sometimes in different courts and this one is being called an eye for an eye, a ponytail for a ponytail. >> this is out of the state of utah, right? >> i believe out of price, utah, in which two 11-year-old, i believe they were both 11 years old. >> 11 and 13. >> two adolescent girls were at a mcdonald's and they sort of pretended befriend a 3-year-old. >> yeah, so this poor little 3-year-old has a ponytail. >> they do. >> pretty remarkable that her hair is that long at 3. >> she has a long, long ponytail and the little girls, 11 and 13-year-old have a sort of devious idea that they're going to chop off her ponytail. in fact, they do that. they chop off her ponytail. >> at mcdonald's in the line. gone. >> and the little girl freaks out, of course, and then what happens, juvenile court gets involved because now this is in some ways assault. >> yeah. >> if i'm standing in line at a mcdonald's thinking i'm going to get a big mac and somebody shaves my head, i'm probably going to call the police.
6:10 am
>> fries with that, though? seriously. >> as long as my fries are hot and my hair is cut. so this girl, the family, of course, calls the police and goes to juvenile court. the judge says look, we won't put her in jail. >> they will actually put her in jail. >> but the tradeoff is if -- this mom go over and cut your daughter's ponytail off right here in the middle of court. >> she did it. she cut the 11-year-old girl's hair off. but the woman of the -- the mother of the 3-year-old is in court when this is happening and yells out, not high enough because the 11-year-old, the mom only cut a little bit off and the judge said take it all the way up to the scrunchie and get it off. >> is this right? is this justice? >> i think so. i mean, it sounds like justice. >> did she learn her lesson? is this an effective form of punish snment>> we should interview her off the fact. she was going to get 30 days in
6:11 am
jail. >> for a snip. >> 30 days in detention center so the judge came up with this creative way to lessen the offense. she had to go to detention. >> it took 150 hours off community service if she sniped her hair. that's just raw justice. >> would you do that? >> as a judge? >> if you were going to go -- spend 30 days in the clink. auto alet me tell you something, for a 13-year-old girl, hair is your power. to have your haircut short for a 13-year-old, yes, i think that sends a message. >> let us know what you think, friends at foxnews.com. >> we have an e-mail from somebody in sampson. >> already? >> about this hair issue. >> thank you. >> it's a little too early. >> coming up, bottom up economics. stick around for this. the key to fixing the economy, that's what president obama says will work best. is he right? we'll explore that next. >> did you say bottoms up? >> i did. >> ebbiok. then, a woman suing an 11-year-old boy after she was
6:12 am
hit in the face with a baseball at a little league game. she's suing the 11-year-old boy who threw the ball that hit her in the face.

6:15 am
tempur-pedic -- the most highly recommended bed in america. >> welcome back. president obama shifting his focus to the economy saying the best way to create jobs is through bottom up economics. listen. >> should go back to the top down economics of the last decade and the reason is in this country, in america, prosperity has never come from the top down. we don't need more top down economics. what we need is some middle class economics. some bottom up economics. >> so is this economic theory
6:16 am
the best way to get america back on track? here to shed some light on this is the c.e.o. of john thomas financial. that's thomas belesis up early with us this morning. nice to see you. >> nice to see you as well. >> the u.s. needs bottom up economics. not top down to be successful. what do you say? >> you know, i think it's even more evident that the president is out of touch with how america works. whether it's bottom up, top down, the bottom line is you have to promote pro growth policies and the president has been doing the opposite. you know, the president's notion of bigger government is the answer to solve all problems is incorrect. look what's going on in greece, italy and spain. these were pro government and bigger government type policies that have taken these countries into bankruptcies. i mean, i'm a second generation greek american and i can see from what the country has done has been wrong for the people and the president wants to instill those measures here in the u.s. and it's evident by the economic activity that's been happening here lately that, you know, the economy has been slow and not growing. >> so the argument, though, from the white house is that if you
6:17 am
go with this guy, romney, he just wants to cut regulation, and he wants to just cut, cut, cut government spending but the white house argues, look what happened in europe. these austerity measures didn't necessarily work. all these cuts didn't help and he needs some revenue generating i.e. taxes. >> right. these are all great points but what the president fails to understand is that the policies in europe of cutting, they've been cutting wasteful programs. the president here has been spending on wasteful programs. what mitt romney is looking to do under his leadership and under his administration is promote less regulations so businesses can stay in america. i mean, he's talking about, mitt romney he's outsourcing pioneer. now, outsourcing jobs obviously has been happening because the president has been making it difficult for companies to operate. regulation. >> regulation, piles and piles of paperwork but i guess the larger argument, though, the president is making. you're going to hear this on the campaign trail is the idea that top down doesn't work. trickle down economics of the reagan era are over. what do you say to that?
6:18 am
>> if you look at the reagan era, he created more jobs over that type of economics. in the last four years, we have not created jobs. the manufacturing index just came out. worse than expected. negative 16 vs. 0 which shows the economy is contracting. under this administration, we've done nothing but go backwards and not forward. we need a new administration to move forward. >> we saw bad numbers about people going out to dinner and share a little extra money that they were starting to do and starting to slow down especially in the summertime when you think people are going to spend more. >> i'll tell you this, too. as soon as the quarterly earnings reports for july come out and people start to focus now on the election and romney, if evident that romney will win the white house, i think you're going to see a lot of economic and entrepreneural activity pick up in the marketplace which will be very positive for everyone. >> watch those numbers. great to see you this morning. nice to see you. >> nice to see you as well. >> they're in the line of fire so they deserve more pay, right?

6:21 am
6:22 am
>> they risk their lives every day and for that, our government provides extra combat pay for troops on the front line. but there are two types of combat pay. there's hostile fire pay that provides $225 per month to troops in combat and then there's imminent danger pay that
6:23 am
gives the same amount $225 to soldiers who are in places that are considered dangerous even if they're not in the line of fire. >> i did not know that. but now, as part of the department of defense cuts, the pentagon is recommending combat zone deductions. here to weigh in on this, the recommendations is the founder of the afghanistan and iraq veterans for congress, good to have you here. wow, $225 to get shot at? >> that's the current amount and the reported that koim ut from the pentagon this week doesn't recommend any changes in the dollar amount. what it says is there are some people getting combat pay and they're not in a combat zone and to some degree, i agree with that. there are people in bahrain who are allowed to bring their families with them on deployment and they're getting combat pay. if you're allowed to bring your spouse and children, you're probably not in combat. i don't have a problem with -- >> if you're in a combat zone, are you taxed? >> that's the second part.
6:24 am
when you're in a combat zone, you are not taxed and you get your whole paycheck. it's, in fact, great because you feel how much you're being taxed when you are not in a combat zone. >> what they're consider changing is now, if you're in a place that's not necessarily at war at the moment, bahrain, the philippines, jordan, places that are relatively safer if you compare them to, say, afghanistan, that then you do have taxes taken out and at the end of the year, you can apply for that money to come back to you. >> well, this ain't -- any combat zone shouldn't be an automatic deduction of your tax liability right now. you shouldn't get your full check. they're saying it should be a tax credit the same way as if you buy a hybrid vehicle, you get a few thousand bucks back. >> if you're in the front lines, you still have the tax loophole. if you're on the front lines, is that correct? >> no. it would -- this proposal says that even if you're on front lines or in a place like bahrain under the current rules, you would still have to apply when you file your taxes for a tax credit. >> oh, gosh. a lot of people are not going to do that.
6:25 am
>> that's correct. i feel like it's almost like a mail-in rebate. when you buy something in the store and you get a mail-in rebate, a good chunk of the people aren't going to do that. >> you know the term nickel and dime people to death. isn't this nickel and diming people? >> i think so, this administrations that done a few things in the way of reducing pay compensation. 2010 was the lowest pay increase in 50 years. there was a proposal last year to downgrade military pensions to 401k's, this is part of a trend. the obama administration doesn't care about g.s.a. junkets to las vegas but don't care about solyndra. when they're looking to save a dime, they're trying to do it on the backs of the working people. i find that -- >> this is a plan started by president bush. president bush came up with this plan because he wanted to draw the distinction between those in the actual line of fire and those who are serving in countrys that are considered dangerous.
6:26 am
there a difference. >> that's part of the study that i agree with. those places like bahrain shouldn't be combat pay. they want more grades. it's not as black and white as world war ii. it's not as if you're landing on omaha beach. you're definitely in combat but if you're in england you're not in combat. >> it seems like it will start pitting officers against enlisted people. >> that's something that's very, very likely. they did a survey and they said do you enlisted guys like the fact that when the tax cuts come because officers pay more and they have more taxable income, they'll have a bigger savings and they say no, i don't like that. high percentage. there's a national tension between officers enlisted that the government should be trying to ease. >> class warfare within the united states military. >> thanks. >> my pleasure oochlt -- >> still ahead, she was accidental hit in the head with a baseball, what's she doing now? she's suing, of course. does she have a case? >> he's been named top dog but for being the ugliest plus did
6:27 am
you know that it is bacon day here on "fox & friends"? >> it's bacon day every day on "fox & friends." >> what if you made about 1,000 sliders and nobody showed up. well, i showed up. there's bacon in everything up there including vodka and meatballs. let's eat! it's bacon day! let's take a paint project from

6:31 am
>> new interview, retiring new york congressman gary ackerman said police are getting dumber. i would have read the rest of the interview but i wanted to catch the snooki new reality show. it's good. >> are people getting a little dumber? it turns out a woman sitting at a picnic table in new jersey was enjoying, i don't know, maybe a sandwich or something. and watching a little league game take place right next to her when someone was warming up in the bull pen. pitchers throwing to the catcher back and forth when the catcher overthrew the pitcher during the warmup and the ball skidded off and hit this woman in the eye at a picnic table. >> right. her name is elizabeth lloyd and
6:32 am
she's seeking $150,000 in damages plus more money for pain and suffering. that's just to cover her medical bills but she wants an unidentified amount for pain and suffering because she was hit in the face. i feel for her. i'm the type of person who gets hit in the face, by the way, when i go -- >> is that right? >> yes. i'm the person who at a game like the errant ball hits me. >> oh, yeah. would you sue an 11-year-old? >> no, i wouldn't, because i do think that's one of the occupational hazards of going to a sports game which is why i don't go to them anymore. >> she said it was intentional. that the 11-year-old boy hit her face intentional and trying to sue the little league, that didn't work. now she's suing the 11-year-old boy. >> that's the crux of that. the phrasing of it is exactly what you said was for intentional and reckless. >> reckless. >> it wasn't reckless. he overthrew. it's an 11-year-old, he overthrew the pitcher when -- >> right. and his parents say this was just -- you know, this was completely accidental. he didn't do this with any malice or forethought. here is his father calling the
6:33 am
lawsuit frivolous. >> he was under the coach's supervision and on the field. if you're asking every 11-year-old ball player to be perfect, that's absurd. >> that's the crux of it. should this 11-year-old be held responsible for this? it's three different ways in which they're suing him. reckless behavior. and then also the pain and suffering as a result of all of this. >> then if you do have 100,000 dollars in medical bills which, of course, we haven't seen the receipts. that's what she's claiming. what are you supposed to do with it? you were just sitting at a picnic table. what are you supposed to do with it? you suck that up? >> i think you do just suck it up. this has been going on for two years. it happened two years ago. still at it in court. >> his family says they have no money to defend him from this -- what they say is a frivolous lawsuit. >> we go to a baseball game and we're at citifield for fox fan night. if you're in the line of fire for a foul ball, you have to be aware. you're sitting there with your head buried in nachos the whole
6:34 am
time, you have to be aware there can be a foul ball hitting me in the head. >> my mom was never a sports fan but i talked her going into a baseball game one time and she got hit with a bat. >> never went again! >> see? >> this thing will fly at her face. >> wow. >> memorable. >> that's good. >> let's get to your headlines. moving in with a severe weather alert for you right now because there are violent storms, there were at least rocking the east coast overnight. new video out of pennsylvania shows the tree that landed on top of a moving car after a lightning strike. fortunately, no one was hurt in that incident. in a similar scene in north carolina, this red car was nearly crushed by a falling tree. incredibly, the driver and the passenger escaped unharmed. the storms also knocked out power along parts of long island, new york and several other states as well. on the bright side, all of the rain did bring some relief to the summer's first major heat wave. well, you won't believe it but cory booker to the rescue again. the newark, new jersey, mayor
6:35 am
driving home from a graduation ceremony when he just happened to pass the scene of a car accident. that's when he apparently saw a man bleeding from his head and the mayor leapt out to help him. >> i got there right as it was happening as well and helped to get ice and water and just really to comfort him, help the ambulance and professionals get him on to an ambulance. >> somewhere, chris christie is going booker! >> get this guy a superhero cape, all right? you'll remember that mayor booker also saved a neighbor from her burning home back in april and before that, he was known to save many residents and help them shovel snow out of their driveways during snowmageddon. he's crazy. meet muggly, the 8-year-old chinese dog who was crowned the winner of this year's ugliest dog competition in california. that's an ugly dog. >> look at the patch of hair
6:36 am
sticking out of his eyebrow. i think i had a teacher like that. >> his beady eyes and patch of white whiskers, it's a her helping her beat out some stiff economics like this chinese crested named ickey. wow, ickey has a mohawk. she is the proud winner of a year's worth of doggie biscuits and $1,000 for her owner. i see, he looks like his owner. that's adorable. i get it. >> something to strive for. let's check in with maria this morning who has a look at the forecast out there and weather down south, hey, maria. >> good morning. good to see you this morning and good morning, everyone and we are tracking a storm system, a large area of low pressure with showers and thunderstorms. pretty heavy at times. right now, out across parts of the gulf of mexico. it's basically moved out of the caribbean northward and now blowing up across the gulf where we have very warm temperatures in place. there's an 80% chance of this storm system the next 48 hours becoming a tropical depression or a tropical storm and if it
6:37 am
does do that, its name would be debbie. you can see those temperatures very warm out across the gulf into the 80's. that's very conducive for tropical storm development and that's what we're going to be watching over the next several days out here because a lot of the computer models don't really know where the storm system is going to go. some of them take them to the north off the coast of alabama or the florida panhandle. one of them you can see over tampa but again, the general idea here is that the storm system will be a very slow mover and it's going to have some time to intensify. winds are also very light so that helps the storm system continue to intensify so again, something to watch out here. otherwise, we had that heat wave across the northeast. finally, feeling a little bit better. we had a front move through. today will be a little bit cooler than what we've seen over the last several days. 86 in new york and it will continue to get cooler as cooler air keeps filtering on southward from canada into the northeast. we'll be seeing some highs tomorrow in the low 80's and even into the 70's as we kick off the work week in new york city. as you take a look further off to the west, denver, triple digit heat.
6:38 am

6:46 am
>> there's no way that the mainstream media which have studiously tried to ignore this can do that anymore. and in fact, as you pointed out, nbc that has shown exactly 10 seconds of coverage this on its evening news over the last year and a half is not going to have to explain the whole thing since the viewership has no idea what it's about. so number one, it becomes a huge national issue. >> we get this according to the media research center. some media outlets have been covering the heat wave on the east coast more than operation fast & furious. so what's up with that? we'll ask timothy grosscrove joining us from los angeles the author of the book "left turn, how the american liberal bias distorts the american mind." let's break this down and take a look at the stats from the past week. "good morning america" in the amount of time they devoted to fast & furious, about 1:21 compared to the heat wave that got about 2:49 on wednesday. "the today show" got two minutes and a little more than that for
6:47 am
the heat wave. "cbs this morning" six minutes and 15 seconds to fast & furious. heat wave, 19 seconds. what do you make of this? >> well, one, cbs has actually been doing a pretty good job on it. nbc and abc have not. one thing you didn't mention is this whole issue started, charles krauthammer said 18 months ago when the border patrol agent brian terry got killed. between that 18 months and about two weeks, that's 17 1/2 months, nbc and abc devoted zero stories to it, both on the morning shows and evening show. it's only after congress started talking about having a contempt of congress citation for eric holder and this is delving into a potential constitutional crisis that they actually began to mention it. >> so why? i mean, the real question is why aren't they covering this? is it a ratings thing? they don't think people are going to tune in for this? >> no, i don't think it's a ratings thing. you look at polls. a rasmussen poll came out
6:48 am
recently. 40% of the people think that eric holder should resign and another 33% think -- are unsure about this. that's 73% think he'll resign or should resign. this would be a huge ratings boom to these networks but i think what's going on, if i think reporters, mainstream reporters tend to be liberal. i think they are kind of sympathetic to obama and eric holder and i think that may be coloring their choices of what was in the news. >> maybe cbs is starting to see the light here. i mean, fox has been covering this since this all started and unfolded. about 18 months ago. cbs seems to be coming on board with this. the other networks, though, not getting the memo, i guess. >> you're right. fox has been exemplary on this. william le junesse, l.a. person, maybe i'm partial to him. cbs, they actually only one person, it's cheryl atkinson. besides her, i'm not sure even cbs is doing that much. >> the book is called "left

6:54 am
people might benefit from being around thin people. >> ok. and jason, what about that? that sometimes, i mean, i have this experience, when i go to the gym, i see somebody who is really fit, that gives me motivation. i go oh, i guess the gym works! is it nice to have fit people around to motivate others? >> absolutely. imagine this, you come into down size fitness and you see somebody that is small. when you know that person went through the process and the journey you just went through to get to that size, you know that they started the gym exactly where you started and now they're at that point, that's what's motivating to know that the person is that way got there after being exactly like me and i know that and that person will be here the mentor to put -- to help me through the process from beginning to end. >> what do you think about that, kristin? if you do see a thin person at jason's gym, you say, oh, obviously they started out overweight but now they're thin. >> right, i think that's really motivating for a lot of people. however, i feel a lot of my

"although we understand the task of healing is just beginning, today's verdict is an important milestone. the community owes a measure of gratitude to the jurors for their diligent service. our thoughts and prayers continue with the victims and their families." lawyers for sandusky say they plan to appeal this. all right.
7:01 am
let's go to an extreme weather alert now. what could be the fourth named storm of the atlantic hurricane season is now churning in the gulf of mexico. for more on that, we go to maria in the extreme weather center. when you were doing those storm models they look like a bowl of spaghetti. >> that's exactly what they are, actually. we call them spaghetti models. you were right on target there and they're pretty confused of where exactly the storm system is going to go and that's basically what we're keeping an eye on over the next several days. it could potentially have big impacts along the gulf of mexico and not just because of how strong it could possibly be. but more because of how much moisture it has and if it's a slow mover, it will be dumping a lot of rain over an area for a long period of time and we're talking about a flooding concern so right now, this storm system is not a tropical depression nor tropical storm. just an area of low pressure with showers and storms and you can see them blowing up here on our satellite across the gulf of mexico. most of that moisture or the heaviest of the rain staying to the west of the state of florida and about an 80% chance that the
7:02 am
national hurricane center is seeing of this storm system becoming a tropical storm in the next 48 hours. we have a high chance that this system will become the next named storm debbie. here's a look at those spaghetti models. a lot of them spinning the storm system across the gulf of mexico. very warm water out here. temperatures over 80 degrees. we are expecting this system to continue to intensify and here's a look at another computer model that's bringing in a lot of heavy rain over parts of central florida. over 4 to 8 inches expected. >> thank you very much for that and we'll keep an eye on it. there was a scary ordeal for an 11-year-old florida boy, his name is luis guitterez and he was left home alone for a few minutes when three men broke into his house. this is not a movie. this is for real. that's when he grabbed his dogs and hid under his bed and quietly called the police. >> it's a person inside the house? >> yes. >> what are you doing?

>> hiding. >> hold on a second. he says he hears us. i don't know if it's real or not. >> it's real. >> once again, a dispatcher expressing skepticism. police taking just a few minutes to show up, luckily, they tapped on the young boy's bedroom window, pulled him out and arrested all three suspects who were still ransacking the home. they say luis did a great job under so much pressure. was that a little hiding spot that he had there? >> yeah, he was hiding behind something. >> it looked like costanza's desk that he built. >> i need to build one of those. >> let's talk about this this morning, all eyes on syria and turkey. after a turkish jet reportedly shot down by syrian forces, jennifer griffin is live in washington with what this means for the u.s. and the u.s. involvement there. what can you tell us this morning? good morning. >> hi, clayton. u.s., european, central and european command are watching very closely the rising tension between turkey and syria in the wake of this turkish f-4
7:04 am
reconnaissance jet being shot down possibly now it turns out inside syrian territory. the turkish president now says his kunlt will do "what is necessary" in the wake of the incident. he didn't specify what that means. four turkish warships are searching for the two missing pilots in the water off syria. syrian authorities are assisting the turkish coast guard and the plane was shot down by syrian anti-aircraft fire just before noon yesterday about eight miles from the syrian city, landing in the mediterranean sea. syrian witnesses say the plane was flying low and fast as it approached them. turkish leaders have said it is normal for planes flying at such speeds to sometimes cross into another country's airspace. turkey had been one of syria's closest allies prior to the 15-month-old attempt by the regime to crush the uprising. turkey has 32,000 syrian refugees on its territory.
7:05 am
back in april, syrians fired on those camps killing at least two refugees and another incident that resulted in rising tension and a stern warning from the turks earlier this week, there were reports that the c.i.a. was working in southern turkey helping to screen when opposition factions in the turkish regime. turkey have denied providing weapons to the syrian opposition. it came one day after a syrian pilot defected with an expensive made russian mig jet from jordan. one of the highest level defections from the syrian regime and it comes as reports have surfaced that saudi arabia and qatar are paying the salaries of syrian opposition fighters. salaries that are being distributed in turkey. back to you guys in new york. >> what an open ended response, though. we'll do whatever is necessary. that could be anything. thanks, jen. >> thank you. >> all right, let's talk about what happened yesterday. there was a big conference down in florida of hispanic leaders.
7:06 am
and so, as you can imagine, president obama and mitt romney went to try to court the hispanic vote. they had back-to-back speeches and always interesting to see this in juxtaposition what they're saying to the audience, what the difference is in what they're saying are. so president obama as you'll hear in a moment got a rousing response. this is, of course, on the heels of him doing that executive directive that he would help children who were brought to this country through no fault of their own. let's hear what the president said about this issue. >> we should have passed the dream act a long time ago. it was written by members of both parties. when it came up for a vote a year and a half ago, republicans in congress blocked it. the bill hadn't changed.
7:07 am
the need hadn't changed. the only thing that it changed was politics. >> and the president went on to say that mitt romney there would veto the dream act. they should take him at his word. mitt romney, though, on thursday appearing in front of that same group. you know, if you compare applause lines, i think the president certainly crushed him on applause lines but listen to mitt romney walking on egg shells certainly after his difficult comments he made on the campaign trail and many people argue even going to the right of people like the governor of texas. take a listen. >> last week, the president finally offered a temporary measure. he called it a stop gap measure that he seems to think will be just enough to get him through the election. after 3 1/2 years of putting every issue from loan guarantees to his donors to cash for clunkers, putting all those things before immigration, now the president has been seize bid an overwhelming need to do what he could have done on day one.
7:08 am
but didn't. i think you deserve better. >> kind of like speed dating. you go in front of the same group of people, love me. don't you love me more? vote for me. >> move on. >> move on down. >> exactly. then another guy moves into the seat in front of the same group. this was yesterday after the president. marco rubio out of the state of florida. he got pretty good response, too. and applause. maybe meeting somewhere in the middle when it comes to his dating -- voting plan. >> why is this issue simplified? i'll tell you right now. because it is powerful politics. it is a powerful political issue. i have seen people use it to take money. i have seen people take the legitimate concerns of illegal immigration and turn it into panic and turn that panic into fear and anger and turn that anger into votes and money. i've also seen people on the other direction. anyone who disagrees with their ideas on illegal immigration is anti-immigrant and anti-hispanic. that's ridiculous.
7:09 am
it's ridiculous! everything is about politics. i've seen it first hanld. >> i mean, it's a complicated issue obviously. as marco rubio pointed out, there is a way to make this bipartisan. >> let's see if we can do that in an election year. we'll have more on that coming up. now this, let's go to eagle rock, california. i think this is fascinating and it's a place where maybe california, a letigious state. if your daughter has straight a's, 4.5 g.p.a. in school, by all accounts, you know, maybe a valedictorian but doesn't get named valedictorian, what do you do if you're that girl's parents? >> i'd sue somebody. >> perfect. that's what they're doing. the parents, this stellar student did beautifully throughout high school. she had a 4.5 as clayton just said, why didn't she become valedictorian?
7:10 am
i'll tell you why, there's another student that had a 4.55 so that -- >> higher. >> that person became valedictorian and that young woman who you just saw had the shame of being salutatorian number two. her parents believe that's a life ruiner on that level even though she got into stanford, by the way. >> they're both brilliant young women. >> of course. one was deprived the valedictorian slot. >> the young woman's mother spoke out, right? >> you -- yeah, she did. let's listen. >> she said this. you're being robbed of the title. it's flawed. it's wrong. all her hard work is not being recognized. all she had is straight a's and not a b either. it was recognized by stanford. it's not as if that they looked and said, you know, you weren't valedictorian so we can't accept you. she was accepted to stanford. and someone had a higher g.p.a. so how can you sue?
7:11 am
>> they want their girl to be recognized! >> here's what -- >> as you may know, that there is these complicated mat -- mathematic algorhythms that go into determining who the valedictorian is and what your g.p.a. as i've heard. >> you were nowhere near that. >> the best friends were valedictorians so i know how this works. but anyway, because she was at a different school, she wasn't in a.p. classes her freshman year. that's what changed -- >> the whole thing irritates me because i'm from a family of six kids. my first born, tom, valedictorian. second born, salutatorian and i'm the fifth. nothing. >> you're in the middle somewhere. >> black sheep! >> oh. >> right there with you, pal. let us know what you think. is it ok to sue over nothing? recognize as the valedictorian? talk about that. coming up on the show, the supreme court gearing up to rule on obamacare. what happens to the industry if

>> oh, man! is this going to be a big week. maybe as he remember as mond-- early as monday, the united states supreme court is likely to rule on the president's health care law. possibly as soon as monday. >> what are the ramifications of the decision if it's upheld, overturned or if only certain provisions of it are overturned. joining us now to make sense of all this is fox news medical a team member dr. marc siegel.
7:16 am
on monday, let's pretend that the health care reform is upheld. how does your life change? >> it's already starting to change, alisyn, because what this law does is increases the amount of provisions and protections that the public can look forward to. in terms of what everything covers. more preventative services, no lifetime limits, no pre-existing conditions to prevent you. >> those are -- >> these are good for patients except for two things which i've said repeatedly. one, very expensive. two, we don't have the doctors and nurses to administer this. so i want to make it clear that even if you have insurance coverage that you didn't have before, if it's too easy to overuse it, and it covers too much but we don't have the doctors, you might not actually get the care. so that's if the law is uphoeld we're concerned about how expensive this is. we already have a problem with medicare and medicaid going bankrupt. >> you know, though, the supreme court rarely overturns something
7:17 am
that congress has created. so could -- they're probably not going to blow the whole thing out. could they just take out the individual mandate? >> you know, mike, i absolutely believe that that's what's going to happen. i don't think they will overturn the whole law for the reason that you just said. let me explain the individual mandate for a minute. what actually is it? it's the way to pay for this stuff that i just described already. in other words, since it's so expensive, you want to get younger people in who don't have health problems. let them pay the same premiums and the insurance companies don't have to pay out anything for it. they use the money literally. >> we all have to pay. >> we all have to pay. but the money is then used to pay for the services of those who are sick. you get the mandate. you get someone who is well, they pay for those who are sick. it's kind of like cost sharing. that's why we call it an entitlement but if the mandate is struck, we're going to have something called the insurance death spiral. let me explain that. the mandate by bringing in money for the insurance companies allows them to keep the premiums. at least at a semireasonable rate. if you strike that mandate,
7:18 am
they're going to end up raising the premiums. some experts say by 10% to 30% in order to cover all the pre-existing conditions, all the bells and whistles. no lifetime limits and people will wait until they get really sick. >> sounds like a ponzi scheme. >> i would consider that term. people will wait until they're really sick before they use it. in other words, why would you buy insurance when you don't need it when you know they have to cover you when you do. if the law holds and there's no mandate you might wait until you're in an ambulance before you call up your insurance company and say i need coverage. that's a disaster in terms of costs and less and less people will have insurance and the insurance companies will go belly up. >> that was the very thing that this law was supposed to fight against, is using the emergency room as your primary care physician if you didn't have insurance. that you were supposed to be able to go get more preventative care and not have to do that which burdened all the other insurance companies but somehow, there's always unintended consequences of this thing. >> alisyn, this is a really important point that you're bringing up and i've always
7:19 am
said, it's a good idea for everyone in the country to have some kind of insurance for when they go to an e.r. a lot of the other things are too ambitious. you talk about preventative medicine. that occurs in a treadmill or in a club, when you change your diet. that's what preventative medicine is. it's not something that occurs -- also, if you can use this insurance every time you want, whether you're well or sick, imagine what the cost is. so using it to protect people when they go to the e.r. is one thing. that's called catastrophic insurance but using it all the time you want is where this bill went and that's why it's so expensive. >> we'll see if you are accurate on monday, ok? >> strike down a mandate, my prediction. >> you heard it here first. thanks so much for coming in. >> good to see you. >> are we raising adult children? more and more kids are staying home through their 20's. maybe into their 30's. wow! whose fault is that? >> i don't know, you're still a child. plus has the material girl truly gone crazy? madonna apparently worried about fans trying to steal her d.n.a. >> i want some! ♪

>> still lives at home. that is not normal! >> i lived upstairs since i was 3. >> it's going to take a stick of dynamite to get me out of my parents' house. >> it is happening more and more. adult children moving back home with their parents. but is it really as funny as hollywood makes it out to be? the author of the new book "slouching toward adulthood" joins us now to talk about it. nice to see you this morning. >> good to be here. >> why is this happening? why are more adult kids after college moving back home? >> sometimes it's not right after college. sometimes they work for a while and then the job implodes and then they're back home. part of it is economic. there have been many dog years in our economy and many people unemployed, far more than the unemployment statistics would suggest. that's part of the picture. also, young people have tremendous student loan debt. on average $45,000 per kid.
7:24 am
so you have to have a pretty great job to be able to afford it but it's also the way kids have been raised. baby boomer parents have brought their children up to believe that the world is their oyster. and not turning out that way. >> so it's -- and in some ways, we've got to set our kids up for disappointment, i suppose a little bit so they're not so insulated and coddled their whole lives? look, you're going to fail. you may lose your job early on. but you can't come back home to mom and dad's house. >> i think there's nothing wrong with mom and dad's house being a port in the storm. it's when mom and dad's house becomes the whole weather system for years and years and years that things turn bad and really cripple the young person's ability to look for a job or keep a job. >> you title the book "slouching towards adulthood." what was the point of that title? this idea that they're not really becoming adults, they're just sort of meandering their
7:25 am
way into it. don't you need hard love and tough love to get there? >> 28 is the new 19 and part of that is because baby boomers themselves, we all think we're really, really young. so if we're young, we give our children the illusion that they have all the time in the world. you can't completely change kids but i do believe that there is more tough love that should be demonstrated on the part of parents and more kids should be taught to do practical things and certain things in life you can only teach yourself, how to work hard, how to accept rejection. how to get along with people. >> and all of these things covered in your book called "slouching towards adulthood". fascinating read. sally, thank you so much for joining us this morning. we appreciate it. >> good to be here, clayton. >> coming up on the show, it's hair for a hair in one courtroom. a judge facing a mother to chop off -- forcing a mother to chop off her daughter's 13-year-old ponytail. we'll explain that coming up. plus bacon, it's more than just a breakfast side dish. today, it's our main course. the big bacon bash is here in

>> tomorrow, the chicago police are sponsoring a gun buyback program. anybody can turn in a gun no questions asked gets a $100 gift certificate in return to which attorney general eric holder said, why didn't i think of that? >> fast & furious fodder now comedic act. >> welcome back to "fox & friends." it is 7:30 eastern time. and, you know, we always heard the term "an eye for an eye". certainly you think in justice terms that might apply in the courtroom. one judge taking it a bit maybe too far? i don't know. you be the judge of this. so here's what happens at a mcdonald's. you have a group of girls, you know, they're a little older. they're going to pick on a younger girl who is only 3 years old. she's got a ponytail, cute little 3-year-old girl and the 11-year-old girls go up and snip the ponytail off the 3-year-old. horrifying. the mother freaks out, of course, people get involved. juvy court gets involved and the whole thing unfolds.
7:31 am
>> the judge called that behavior egregious, as you can imagine and he sent in one of these 13-year-old girls to 30 days in a detention center plus 276 community time hours. but right there in the courtroom, he said he would cut down on that community service time if her mother cut her ponytail right there and then in the courtroom. >> one of the older girl's hair. >> the 13-year-old. and the mother agreed to that because 276 hours of community service is a lot. so she sniped her daughter's ponytail and now she regrets having done that and thinks that that was too much of a punishment for her daughter. >> but the 3-year-old's mother was in the courtroom when it happens and she yells out, you didn't cut enough off! >> it was too low on the ponytail. >> too low. >> so the judge says all right. move up to the scrunchie. move up to the rubber band. and snip it off there and so she did. >> by the way, the -- for the 11-year-old girl who instigated
7:32 am
the cutting of the 3-year-old girl's hair, it is judge had a stiffer penalty. he made her get his haircut. he had a haircut like yours. the judge's hair looks like yours. that's what i'm trying to say. a haircut like yours and he made the 11-year-old girl shave her head like yours. >> like this. >> is that justice or would you -- would it be better served to just spend the time, first of all, maybe in juvenile detention for 30 days. or all that extra community service? >> i think for a 13-year-old girl and an 11-year-old girl, your hair is more important than even going to a jail for 30 days. >> valid point. the 3-year-old had never had her haircut. her hair was down to her waist. >> you make a valid point. let us know how you feel about it. friends at foxnews.com or ffweekend on twitter. was that too severe?
7:33 am
>> an 8-year-old boy sucked into a storm drain. he was playing with his cousin when it happened. he was swept through the tunnel and surfaced in a creek about a mile away. his mother says she only looked away for a split second. >> mom, i did what you told me to do. he goes, i plugged my nose, i took a breath and i prayed. >> the little boy was found by a resident who took him in and called police. thank goodness that had a happy ending. a fire at one new york -- sorry, new jersey airport wreaking havoc on flights across the country. this all happened at an atlantic city international airport's technical center. a system used for controlling air traffic during poor weather conditions. unfortunately, the east coast was hit with violent thunderstorms at the time. no one was hurt in the fire but the backlog of canceled and delayed flights is expected to have a ripple effect on travelers across the country today as well. a piece of history making history. a book containing george

7:35 am
or bugs. she saves the revealing nudey shots for her stage act. let's go to maria in the extreme weather center. tell us what is brewing today, maria? >> good morning, ali. good to see you and good morning, everyone. we have a lot brewing out along the lower 48 today and even in the gulf of mexico, we are actually watching what could potentially become tropical storm debbie in the next 48 hours, the national hurricane center saying that there is a high chance of this occurring so we're watching this area of low pressure with showers and thunderstorms that are blowing up. you can see it there on the satellite picture just to the west of the state of florida and we're also seeing some low showers and storms from the outer bands that are already starting to develop already coming on shore and dumping some of that rain across florida. otherwise, temperatures right now in the gulf, very warm. conducive for tropical storms to develop into the 80's and the winds are also very light so that will be helping out conditions or bringing conditions that could help out this storm system to develop. we do need the moisture out here, though, so that's some good news across the southeast. we will welcome some rain.
7:36 am
however, hopefully the storm does not develop too quickly and produce strong winds. you can see those showers moving over the state of florida. the heaviest stuff remaining off shore. we'll keep an eye on it. clayton? >> thanks so much, maria. well, bacon is the theme of the morning. we're honoring the first annual bacon bash in new york city. joining us now, erica lunden, vice president of marketing for eye adventure that is producing the big event and jordan endino, the executive chef at little town restaurant here in new york. >> a bacon bash. >> mike came off set because he wants to eat more bacon. >> i was stunned to see a man dressed as a piece of bacon. and he dances. >> he dances, too. >> erica was just telling me, she puts on with eye adventures and they've been putting on this big event. that's how you keep your terrific figure, all you do is eat bacon. >> yes. all you have to do is put a little fruit into the diet. >> yes. >> we have some right here. >> jordan, you guys are down there and you're one of the featured participants in the big bacon bash. what do you do and what are you
7:37 am
making today? >> right now, i have working a bacon bite. so what you do is take a little brown sugar, salt and pepper as well as some white sugar and blend it up. tandy it out so right now, we're heating it up and cooking it up and you have some of it already caramelized here. this is what the finished product is going to look like. >> let's grab some. bacon is considered the candy of all meats. and that's why we chose it, you know. >> and especially when it's candied. >> candied. >> when you add like maple syrup? >> not at all. it's sugar, brown and white. >> hand me that, will you? >> yeah. >> hand me the whole plate of bacon. >> it's basically like -- >> hey. clayton, people from wichita, kansas, where i was born and raised. they know bacon! go, jayhawks! >> thank you very much! >> they're eating. >> hey, mike, while they're eating -- >> you might want to do some potato chips. you want some chips, too? you're making potato chips with bacon in it. that's my speed. >> so here's what you do.
7:38 am
basically to make a bacon potato chip, you take the fat that was prerendered from right here. you take this and strain it out. here you have your tapioca chemical familiar with astronomy, take that, pour it in. oh. pour it in. add the bacon fat slowly because you want to keep that powder, if you add too much, it's going to overpower it. so -- oh, wait. >> that's bacon you wind up with -- >> oh, yes. so either way, pour it in. what you wind up with eventually is -- >> chips. >> the chips. >> first, you have to season it. >> season it with what? >> that's the bacon. >> powder bacon. >> regular chips with bacon. >> give a smell. >> that is powdered bacon. >> i will agree with that. >> wow. >> what you do, all you do is take it, toss it and so now it's essentially like parmesan. >> erica, you'll be eating bacon all day today at the bacon bash.
7:39 am
>> yeah. >> there you go. have at it. what about the balls? the balls. >> colorful melon balls. >> what does that have to do with bacon? >> ok, so typically, you know, you take classic italian, you take pruschiutto is wrap it around bacon. my idea was take that same melon and wrap it with invisible bacon. >> you can add bacon to anything. >> i'm starting to add all of this stuff. >> once you get it into a powder, you can add it to anything. absolutely anything. >> you have a bacon latte right here? >> i took coffee and i cooked that bacon for six hours. >> all right, erica, you're going to try this since you -- >> i'll try it. >> we're going to get erica's assessment of it. this is how she kicks off every morning. if you want to look like erica, start your morning with a bacon latte. i'm curious what this tastes like. >> it's savory, sweet, but it does have that coffee flavor. >> you're going to say that, of course.
7:40 am
head to the bacon bash if you're here in manhattan, i know mike will be here later. he's the master of ceremonies down there. >> that's right. >> $40 to get in. you get $50 off -- 50% any of the craft beers and you get a bacon shot by going down there as well. thank you, guys. we'll be eating bacon all morning long out here, alisyn. see what you're missing. >> let me say as the only one of the hosts who has donned a bacon suit, that bacon has fine moves. >> i think that bacon has better suits than you are. >> that's some popping bacon right there, all right. thanks so much, guys. meanwhile, coming up, one u.s. city declaring a state of emergency but it hasn't been hit by a storm. it's going broke! then will fast & furious hurt president obama's re-election bid? our next guest says it just may be the conservative ticket into the white house. monica crowley is up early to explain that to us. come on over, monica. stay in the moment sanya

>> will the fast & furious scandal have any effect on president obama's re-election chances? our next guest believes that the scandal will be part of the equation for voters. monica crowley is a nationally syndicated radio talk show host and the best selling author of "what the bleep just happened" the happy warrior's guide to the great american comeback. great to have you here. >> great to see you. following that bacon guy, tough act to follow. >> i think you can handle it. >> i hope so. >> meanwhile, it's tough, i must say, to agree with you that fast & furious will have an effect on the upcoming election because the network newscasts are not really covering it. so how much is it resonating with voters? >> well, i think in the limited way until this week, i think you're right that the mainstream media has been very reluctant to cover this and it is a huge scandal. i mean, the american administration running guns across an international border
7:45 am
that resulted in the loss of hundreds of mexican lives. but the loss of two american heroes, border agent brian terry and another agent. this week, the major networks were forced to cover it because the president invoked executive privilege to protect his attorney general. >> you go so far as to believe there was something deeper going on. this wasn't just an accident. what's your evidence that -- how can you say that the u.s. government ever would have intentionally wanted people killed? >> there are some documents that already have been produced that there were discussions in the white house among the president and among the attorney general that they wanted to seek some sort of pretext to crack down on second amendment rights. now, we haven't seen that evidence yet. it is speculation. but the idea that the administration would not have full knowledge of that, that the commander in chief, the secretary of state, the department of homeland security, the attorney general would not be aware of this kind of operation, again, across an international border, i think the american people find that very hard to believe. >> so let's face it, however,
7:46 am
that most americans, you know, you only have so much attention span for what's going on at the highest levels of government or what's going on in the world and basically, the economy, isn't that -- the economy what this election will be decided? >> absolutely. you're totally right about that. the problem for the administration with regard to fast & furious is that it fits a larger narrative about this administration. that's why i think it's so potentially damaging in addition to the fact that you do have two american citizens who are now dead as a result of it. but it fits into a broader story here that this administration is either out of touch or that has engaged in constitutional abuses or has violated the rule of law on other things whether it's the illegal immigration move that the president invoked last week or whether it's obamacare which is so constitutionally dubious that the supreme court is going to rule on it this coming week so i think it fits into a broader story line here that this administration generally has been out of control. >> you talk about all of this in your new book "what the bleep just happened" and yet, i mean,
7:47 am
even though this sounds dire, you remain optimistic about the country's outlook. >> i am. i am. and that's the whole theme of the happy warrior because what i try to do in this book, ali, is lay out a new template for america. not just conservatives, independents or republicans, but every american to recognize that america can be saved and that she is worth saving. and that we have to do it with a joyful spirit. sort of that reaganesque positive embrace of conservativism bringing it into the 21st century and let's rally to save this country. >> you think it's a new morning and it's a new morning on "fox & friends." having you hear has been a shining ray of light. thank you so much. "what the bleep just happened" your book came out last week. thank you so much for being here. >> thank you, ali. >> next on the rundown, the government fining businesses for not using something that does not exist. that's a double negative. can they do that? then bottom up economics. the key to fixing the economy? that's what president obama believes may work. is he right? we'll explore that next. ♪

>> welcome back. an e.p.a. mandate forcing oil refineries to do the impossible or face millions in fines. the agency is pushing them to use cellulosic ethanol. you know what that is, mike? >> i know exactly what that is. >> the problem is this particular biofuel doesn't exist yet. maybe that's why you don't know about it. still the e.p.a. is refusing to back down from the costly requirement and now the oil industry is answering with its own lawsuit. >> charlie is the president of the american fuel and petrochemical manufacturers and they represent over 98% of oil
7:52 am
companies in the country. charlie, we get name of that thing right? >> you got the name right but still doesn't exist whether it's named or not. >> it's made from, what, waste product and stuff like that. so in 2007, the e.p.a. says to you, we have to start mixing this into fuel. the trouble is, i guess you'd be happy to do it, maybe you wouldn't be, but you would do it if it existed! how can you be fined millions of dollars if you can't find the thing to blend in? >> mike, you're absolutely right. and you know, alisyn just interviewed monica crowley, you know, about being out of touch and out of control. this is a perfect example, the agency and the administration continuing their war on fossil fuels by trying to make us blend something that doesn't exist. now, they have the, you know, the law says we have to do it. the administration, the e.p.a. has the authority to look and
7:53 am
see what's real and what's out there and adjust. >> it doesn't really -- they have a little bit. >> it doesn't pass the commonsense test, charlie. take a look at this. here's some numbers here. 500 million gallons this year. 3 billion in 2015. 16 billion in 2020. they want with fines upwards of millions of dollars for failing to put this added chemical inside but, of course, with technological restrictions, it's just not available. it's interesting coming from an administration that's argued that ethanol subsidies and the likes of ethanol doesn't work anyway. so it seems like it's wrong on three different levels. >> clayton, this whole program is based on myth. and not reality. this whole renewable fuels, putting food in your gas tank, you know, it's just -- it's pure lunacy and it's anti-consumer and we really have to have congress take a long, hard look at this thing and say, ok, we
7:54 am
passed all these things in 2007 in a different time. let's take a snap shot of 2012 and going forward. let's see what's good for the american consumer and get rid of this crazy program. >> yeah, just real quickly, charlie, maybe on a little bit of a different topic here, you know, i've been in television a long time and as long as i've been in television, we've been talking about we have to find alternative sources of energy. you know, so we aren't relying on these arab countries so wind power and solar power and stuff like that. those are good things, aren't they, charlie? >> they are good if they can be competitive. they are good if they serve the american consumer the way the consumer needs to be, you know, have energy brought to them. but mike, right now, look at what we have under our feet and off our shores that we're not tapping into. look at, you know, the -- look at the sanctions that this president has put on canada forbidding the keystone pipeline from being constructive and bringing that good crude oil down to the refineries in the

8:01 am
football coach found guilty of 45 out of the 48 charges against him. he was immediately taken from the central pennsylvania courthouse to jail last night after the judge revoked his bail. he'll be sentenced in three months though his lawyers say they do plan to appeal. the family of sandusky's former boss joe paterno releasing this statement after the verdict came down. "although we understand the task of healing is just beginning, today's verdict is an important milestone. the community owes a measure of gratitude to the jurors for their diligent service. our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the victims and their families". now, to an extreme weather alert for you. the national weather service just releasing its 8:00 a.m. advisory on that tropical storm system in the gulf of mexico we told you about. let's go to maria in the extreme weather center with the latest. what are you seeing now? >> good morning. unfortunately, our storm system is continuing to intensify and organize. so we're seeing an area of more organized showers and thunderstorms and the center of circulation is actually becoming more localized as well.
8:02 am
about 275 miles to the south-southeast of the mississippi river, of the mouth of the mississippi river right along the louisiana area and also across mississippi. so it is likely 90% chance now from the national hurricane center that this storm system could become a tropical storm later on today and we've actually already detected some tropical storm winds in -- near the center of this storm system so again, very likely that we could be seeing debbie forming here in the next day or so. especially later on today into tonight. tropical storm models are basically pointing that the storm system has a chance of going westward towards the east towards florida or even towards the north across parts of the florida panhandle or alabama so we're still very uncertain as far as where the storm system is going to go. so anyone from the texas coast to the west coast of florida needs to stay alert here over the next day or so. there is a chance we could see tropical storm watches or warnings issued later today or into tomorrow across parts of the northern gulf coast. temperatures out here are very
8:03 am
warm into the low 80's so it's likely that the storm is going to continue to intensify and already seeing some showers across the state of florida. >> ali? >> all right, thanks so much for that update. we'll continue to watch that. meanwhile, general motors recalling hundreds of thousands of chevy cruz sedans because of engine fires. the company receiving reports of 30 fires believed to be started by fluid dripping on to a hot plastic shield below the engine. the recall covers 475,000 cars made in the u.s. between september 2010 and may 2012. fortunately, no injuries have been reported. and mayor cory booker to the rescue again. the newark, new jersey, mayor driving home from a graduation ceremony when he just happened to pass the scene of an accident. that's when he apparently saw a man bleeding from his head and he leapt out to help. >> i got there right as it was happening as well. and helped to get ice and water and just really to comfort him, help the ambulance and professionals get him on to an ambulance.
8:04 am
>> maybe he should just cut the paramedics in newark since he can do it himself. money saving measure. >> he's batman. >> he is batman. because you'll remember that mayor booker also saved a neighbor from her burning home back in april. and before that, he was known to help residents shovel snow and dig out of their driveways who were stranded during snowmageddon. >> he is remarkable but i wonder if he can handle the issues with the bathrooms at newark airport. it's like a haz-mat situation. he can save people out of burning buildings but avoid those bathrooms at all costs. >> he's great to have around because he saves lives except maybe you don't want to be around him because there's chaos everywhere he goes! there's falling buildings. >> maybe he sets them up. >> oh! >> wow. >> conspiracy theory du jour. >> all right. >> all eyes on syria this morning and turkey as tensions there increasing between a former allies following reports that a turkish jet was shot down by syrian forces. jennifer griffin has been

serious escalation. turkey had been one of syria's closest allies prior to the 15-month-old uprising. turkey has 32,000 syrian refugees on its territory. earlier this week, there were reports that the c.i.a. is working in southern turkey screening which opposition factions received weapons from arab states seeking to help in the assad regime. turkey has denied providing weapons to the syrian opposition. back to you guys in new york. >> all right. thanks so much, jennifer griffin reporting live for us in washington. thanks, jennifer. now, president obama was down there in florida and he's putting the attention now back on the economy. we've been talking about immigration. we're talking about a bunch of other issues right now and executive orders but really talking about the economy recently and really trying to drive home this idea that the trickle down economics of the past and what mitt romney would put forth would not work. instead, we need bottom up economics. take a listen. >> they believe that we should go back to the top down economics of the last decade.
8:07 am
and the reason is in this country, in america, prosperity has never come from the top down. we don't need more top down economics. what we need is some -- some middle class out economics. some bottom up economics. >> and the election is going to -- it's going to hinge on which guy do you believe? >> right. his argument there, president obama's argument that, you know, just cutting regulations and cutting all of the -- cutting government spending which is what mitt romney wants to do is not enough, according to president obama, that you need other drivers of growth in this economy. >> right. this is the philosophical divide, they just spelled it right out. do you believe in trickle down, top down where you allow wealthy people to keep a lot of their money or more of it than under the democrat and that they, then, hire people and create companies and give money to charity and they sort of raise all votes, lift all votes or do
8:08 am
you believe that by providing a safety net and more support services for the lowest wrung, it gives them a foot up. a leg hold and they can help the economy. there it is. they just -- >> that's it! >> they spelled it out for you. >> election over. earlier on the show, basically said that this doesn't -- the idea that president obama is putting forth doesn't solve the economic problems and during the reagan years with trickle down, he believes that this helped. listen to tom. >> i think it's more evident that the president is out of touch with how america works. whether it's bottom up or top down, the bottom line is you have to promote pro growth policies. the president has been doing the opposite. his notion that big government is the answer to solve all problems is incorrect. under his administration, we've done nothing but go backwards and not forwards. we need a new administration to move us forward. >> steve jobs, we learned after his death, talking to president obama in that meeting saying you got to get rid of these organizations. there's no way a company like apple is going to bring manufacturing back here to the
8:09 am
united states until you get rid of some of this regulation. >> exactly. let's talk about this. a lot of weighing in on twitter and the facebook page as well. people getting up to speed on this. a new jersey woman is suing an 11-year-old boy. he's a little league player. she went to this little league game, was sitting at a picnic table just off of the field. and right next to her a young man was warming up. he was pitching to this young man who is a catcher. they're not in the game. they're warming up in the bull pen. well, matthew trying to throw the ball back to the pitcher throws it errantly and it hits the woman right in the face! at the picnic table. >> so she says that she somehow accrued $150,000 worth of medical bills so she is now suing that little 11-year-old but they're not just for the coverage of whatever happened with the doctor. but for more money, undisclosed amount for sort of duress that she experienced by being hit in
8:10 am
the head with the ball. so what do you think about this? if you go to a baseball game, are you just assuming there is some inherent risk? >> this is absurd. this is absurd. because if we would roll that video again and i know it's all pieced together with all different shots of the different people but when you get to that shot of the picnic table and the bull pen, see if you can freeze it in the booth there because look at how close this picnic table is. >> right there. >> it's like when you go to one of those restaurants where youiyo youity -- sit in the kitchen, they have that one table that sits in the kitchen. right there. right there. there's the picnic table right there. freeze that. that's right inside of the bull pen. you know where you're sitting, right? it's not as if you're off having a picnic and not aware of the game. >> i'm a nervous wreck at sporting events because i do think i'm going to get hit with something. >> you're nervous because you don't understand what's going on. >> i don't. i don't understand what's going on but i know that by having my head buried in the nachos like i always do, that something could be flying towards me and i would
8:11 am
miss it. in fact, is there a statute of limitations on these lawsuits? because i think i was hit in the head obviously a few times. >> that explains it. >> there's no question, you've fallen down or something. >> it all makes sense now. >> e-mail us or follow us on twitter. things making sense. coming up on the show, congressman louie gomert has demanded that eric holder turn over documents related to fast & furious. >> then, are you getting married? it's the marriage month of june. forget giving a gift. give a donation to the obama campaign. that suggestion from the white house. we'll explain it. >> that's row manlt i can. -- romantic. it's time to live wider awake.

>> welcome back. the white house fighting back
8:15 am
criticism this week after president obama exerted executive privilege in operation fast & furious. during questioning, white house spokesman jay carney tried to blame the entire operation on president bush. listen. >> that is really the issue, isn't it? it is how did this operation come about, it originated in a field office during the previous administration. it was ended under this administration by this attorney general. >> the operation fast & furious began -->> the tactic began in previous administration. >> the operation. >> the -- ok. this -- the tactic began in a previous administration and it was ended under this one. >> joining us now with his reaction is texas congressman louie gomert. thanks so much for coming in this morning. >> always great to be here. >> yonld the distinction that jay carney was trying to make, the tactic was started under the bush administration and the operation was started under this administration. what is that? >> just like in prior segments, the president said he wants bottom up and he gave us belly up. here he says they want transparency and they've done
8:16 am
everything they can to cloud the issue. there was a program previously that would promote a controlled sale of guns where they monitored the sale and they were supposed to move in on these guys and catch them before they got away. well, some of them got away and took guns with them. that is a totally different tactic from this administration deciding we are going to sell thousands of guns and required -- and let them go. we're not going to follow them completely -- >> wasn't that the botched part of this? >> that was under the bush administration it was botched. under this administration, they never intended to have a controlled sale. that was the problem. and one of the gun store owners got paranoid. he thought nobody will ever believe they're telling me to sell these to criminals and -- because this administration in march of 2009 said the president has directed us to follow guns and trace them and find out
8:17 am
where they came from where they're going after gun shore owners so he taped them so the inspector general that the a.g. is so reliant on to give us an objective report got the tape and gave it to the agent that was taped. that's not an inspector general report. it's not transparent and the way it's supposed to be done. >> at issue now is the contempt vote that we may see later this week against attorney general eric holder and whether or not we see that or not. nancy pelosi saying this whole contempt vote is really to distract from voter suppression issues. listen to nancy pelosi. >> don't forget they're going after eric holder because he is supporting measures to overturn these voter suppression initiatives in the states. this is no accident. it is no coincidence. it is a plan on the part of politics. >> all politics, what he's attempt to go do in florida is the whole issue here, all about
8:18 am
voter suppression. >> you need to cut her some slack. she doesn't read bills before we pass them and waits until we pass them to find out what's in them. some of them want to get to the bottom of it before we take action and those of us that have really looked into this have found this administration has known about it. they're sitting on documents. this is not about voter suppression. by the way, every time there have been voter i.d., photo i.d. required, the voting went up by a minority so she's awful on that as well. >> the fact that the prehas now asserted the executive privilege. how will that affect this investigation? >> shocked me. like dick morris has said on fox numerous times he's insulated from fast & furious. this doesn't affect -- as soon as he claimed this had an executive privilege, he just brought that into the white house. >> so it opens up a whole another can of worms. >> that will bring about a civil suit that we will file in federal court in washington,
8:19 am
d.c. and demand that they produce a log of all the documents they're claiming are privileged. as a judge, i reviewed things like that and you determine what is privileged and what isn't and there may not be anything that's privileged here but now, they're going to end up having to produce the log that they say is privileged. >> congressman, we're out of time but we can dive more into this and we will with you. thank you so much for joining us. representative from texas. thanks so much for coming in. >> great to be with you. thank you so much. >> there are no storms, no flooding, no damage. so why is one city declaring a state of emergency and asking taxpayers for help? >> first, warren buffet, the fictional character robin hood getting a tax increase named in his honor. it's aimed at wall street. will it hurt main street instead? we'll break down the numbers when we come back. why not make lunch more than just lunch?

8:24 am
say is they believe this robin hood tax, if it taxes wall street it could help fund social services like education and health care. so what's wrong with their point? >> well, their point fails on two counts, one, trading is not geographically and we need to move to off-shore markets or markets overseas where trades are not taxed. there will not be any positive revenue impact. after that, i don't think what's asked enough is what is it about the assertion that we as individuals in the private sector are fallible but once we enter the government sector, we become angels and now exactly how to allocate capital. i would much prefer those putting their own money at risk and putting the money of their clients at risk to allocate capital over government officials who aren't putting any money at risk and not risking their jobs. >> your first point there, maybe the most important to me that tax impacts seems like it would be negligible. >> it's not going to achieve
8:25 am
anything at all in terms of revenue. in fact, it probably will bring revenues down. money is fungible. we'll simply move those trades to places where governments don't tax them that want this kind of trading volume. >> well, it's interesting that you bring up europe and asia because britain and china as we understand it do have these sorts of financial transaction taxes and according to the international monetary. not hurt as business and a result of it. >> you're not seeing trading business for what we don't know is the unseen, how much greater the volume would be in these places, absent these taxes but the simple truth is we live in interconnected world in terms of financial markets. if the tax becomes too onerous, it's going to go elsewhere. a trade today is a mouse click. you don't need to do it in a physical place like the new york stock exchange. >> real quickly, is there much
8:26 am
juice for robin hood tax? do you think it will ever happen? >> it's not going to happen. and it's not -- because it would not work and furthermore, it would hurt the middle classeses. we need the markets to allocate capital, the apples over the enrons of the world. if you take liquidity from the markets, you're going to hurt the very companies that create jobs and make our lives better. >> hey, john, thanks. >> john, thanks so much from real clear markets. all eyes on the supreme court as it gets ready to rule on immigration and on health care this coming week. but if both get knocked down, what does that mean for the president? governor mike huckabee has some ideas on this. he's going to be with us next. >> ali, are you getting married? >> no, i already am married. >> that's right. forget giving a gift. how about a donation to the obama campaign? we'll tell you where you can register for that after the break. we make meeting times, lunch times and conference times. but wha'd rather making are t times.

8:35 am
great to see you back. >> break this down for us, you know the arguments, right, if this gets knocked down, that could be fantastic for president obama. here's why, right? he can say i tried. we tried to get this pushed through congress. we tried to get it done. we passed it and the supreme court comes along, conservative supreme court, knocks it down. i tried for you, i'm your president. it didn't work. >> i think there's a pony outside waiting for you, too, if you believe that. look, this is the signature piece of legislation. this is the one thing he's basically built his entire political life as president over. if he comes out and this is declared unconstitutional, then the biggest moment of his political life has been declared not just invalid but this constitutional law professor put something through that was unconstitutional. the republicans will beat the daylights out of him for a number of things. the content of the bill, the process, as well as the fact that it was unconstitutional. >> supreme court doesn't like to overturn what congress has made. get a prediction from you. what about if they just take the
8:36 am
mandate out? declare that unconstitutional? it seems a little bit better for the president, then. >> only a little bit. it's still the centerpiece of obamacare. in fact, it's the foundation upon which all is made. in fact, if they take that out and leave everything else, it's almost like taking the foundation out of a house and saying but the rest of it can stand. it really can't. because that's the fundamental factor that makes everything else work by funding. >> that's a big deal for the re-election campaign. do you see immigration the same way or can the president say that was a state law, arizona decided to do it its way or does it have the same ramifications? >> it has secondary ramifications. it doesn't touch everybody. if you live in iowa, chances are, you know, what happens on the arizona border doesn't touch you every day. i think it is a political tool but more so for people who are ideologically tilted to the right who are going to vote for romney anyway who are never going to vote for obama. so it doesn't have the same impact. here's the difference in obamacare. while the country is somewhat divided on immigration, 2/3,
8:37 am
almost 70% of the american people wish that obamacare would be declared unconstitutional. and that is an extraordinary number because now you've dipped into a large number of both democrats and republicans who think that it is unconstitutional. >> answer the political question for me because i'm curious how mitt romney handles this. i mean, this is a fascinating argument right here. they've got -- that camp has to be sitting back and watching all of this saying ok, if arizona is struck down, which we supported. i mean, they were, you know, in support of the arizona law, that's one side. if obamacare is struck down, which was largely based on romney care, how do they walk this -- i mean, it's going to be really fascinating to see how they spin this and politically handle this. what would your advice be to him? >> first of all, there's a big difference between what romney did in massachusetts and what obamacare is. primarily that it was done by states. states can do this. >> and across state borders. >> and that's the fundamental constitutional question. can you force people at a national level? what the states do is really
8:38 am
under the 10th amendment, yeah, they can. can the national government do it? no, it cannot. and that's been the argument of those who have said this is why it's unconstitutional. >> let's switch to fast & furious. >> we'll do it very fast, too and i'll be furious. >> be furious. if you have to. does that issue have legs with the voters? >> as they get to know it. here's the problem, most voters had no idea this was going on for the past 18 months because the major network news, nbc finally covered it a week ago with a 30-second little oh, and by the way, but now they can't ignore it. now that congress has voted to hold attorney general eric as i call him, eric withholder in contempt, now they have to put some attention on it because this is only the fourth time in 30 years that a member of the executive branch has been held in contempt of congress. >> attorney general says he's given all the documents that pertain to that particular issue. >> not true. not true. they've asked for over 140,000 documents in total, he's given them over 7,000. that's a long way from what they've asked for.
8:39 am
and so for him to even have the audacity and jay carney to say we've given everything we want, if they had they wouldn't be holding them in contempt. >> what are they hiding? >> that's what we don't know. they're hiding how many people knew, when they knew it and how far up the chain of command they went. >> we have a lot more to talk about including where to preview his show tonight on the network which is an interesting topic to be covering. we'll be talking about the hope and change crowd but is the president losing that youth vote? that's the show that governor huckabee will tackle tonight. we'll talk about the millenials and how they vote this time. >> fruits and vegetables covered in chemicals even after you wash them. we'll break down the dirty dozen. what y need to know before you go to the grocery store today.

>> from food for fashion. there are dangerous chemicals
8:50 am
apparently lurking in our daily lives. but do you know how to find them? luckily, there's some help out there today. the environmental working group has just released their dirty dozen and their clean 15, lists that show which produce the usda says is worst when it comes to pesticides. here to break it all down for us is michael hansen, the senior scientist with "consumer reports." great to have you here. >> nice to be back. >> let's start with the dirty produce, the ones that have high levels of pesticides. there's some that i wouldn't expect. some that have their skin on them. which one is the worst? >> what the data show, for example, is every imported nectarine that the usda tested had pesticide residues followed by 98% of the apples. >> are the apples imported as well? >> no. that's any apples. 98% of them had at least one pesticide on them. celery was 96. potatoes were 91%. so all these, you see here,
8:51 am
those either had high levels of pesticides, a large number. they've also included kale and green beans and the reason for this is because those tended to test positive for those organic phosphate pesticides. most have been pulled off the market but there's a new study showing that they had higher levels of organic phosphate residues in their bloodstream when they're pregnant had lower birth rate and children born earlier. >> oh, my gosh! how do we protect ourselves against -- you want to eat kale and blueberries. >> some of these, what you can either do is if you're concerned about the pesticide residues, those are the ones that it either pays to go organic or to avoid them. or, for example, with potatoes, a simple alternative is you could try sweet potatoes because sweet potatoes actually have very little pesticide on them and are more nutritious. >> i see cucumbers there, that's what i was talking about. sometimes you think -- or
8:52 am
watermelon, if they have this hard outer skin, you think that they're protected from having the pesticides in them. >> well, that's only for pesticides that are sprayed but a lot of pesticides you put them on the soil and they're taking up by the plants so they're all throughout the fruit or vegetable. so that's why washing them or even peeling them doesn't work with those. >> that is fascinating. let's talk about the clean fruits and vegetables that you feel safe eating. >> well, these are the ones that you don't need to buy organic if you're concerned about -- about residues but, for example, avocados and -- >> mangos. >> and the sweet corn. both of those, and the onions, 98% of them, they couldn't detect pesticide residue on any of them. >> that's comforting. so these are the good ones. >> yeah, so those are all relatively good ones. now, the new thing that the usda has started to do is they -- they've tested baby food samples. they tested about 190 samples
8:53 am
each of baby food that was made out of green beans, sweet potatoes or pears and the good news is the sweet potato hardly found anything. the bad news is, for example, with pears, 92% of the pears had pesticide residues. 26% of the samples of pears had five pesticide residues each and then with the green beans, their concerns there because even though a smaller percentage of them turned up positive, they had these organa phosphates which we need to reduce there. >> very quickly, you also found that purses, women's purses are dangerous because they have high levels of lead. >> yeah, there was actually a study done by the center for environmental health and they found that about 15% of these vinyl purses, the bright colored ones particularly yellow ones tested positive for lead. the good news is when they tested three years ago, 65% of
8:54 am
them were positive. so it's down to 15% but that shouldn't be there because the lead that's on that vinyl, that can rub off to the women that are carrying those purses and some of them were actually very pricey. >> sure. i mean, if you're pregnant or have small children, that's dangerous. thanks so much for coming in with the information. always great to see you. still ahead, terrifying moments for an 11-year-old left home alone. >> there's a person inside the house? >> yes. >> what are you doing? >> hiding! >> tell you how his bravery helped catch the robbers. then, a woman suing an 11-year-old boy after she was accidentally hit in the head with a baseball that he knew at a little league game. does she have a case? does your business have the financial control it needs?

9:14 am
still have health care working for individuals? what's the medical take on all of this? >> well, i don't believe that this law will work even if it's upheld as constitutional. it's a flawed law and put together hastily over 2400 pages and, it really is anti-liberty. it's a law of coercion, and saw, if they rule the individual mandate unconstitutional, that will make it very difficult for the work in the format that they had designed, so, i think the whole thing will fail. and i think the supreme court, you know, as is one of the justices just said, those who say they know, don't know and those who know, don't say. but my personal prediction is that it will be a 5-4 decision getting rid of the individual mandate and greater than 50 chance the whole thing will fall down. i think justice kennedy, if you read his previous opinions, he's a strong advocate of liberty and i think he's going to say the individual mandate violates liberty.
9:15 am
>> mike: so, that's your prediction, 5-4. so if the individual mandate. >> it could be 6-3, we don't know, i'm sorry, go ahead. >> mike: if the individual mandate is ruled unconstitutional, isn't the individual mandate the foundation of the whole thing? >> i think it's the funding mechanism for it. and i don't think it's a -- it's really going to work, i mean, people will still not buy insurance because they'll say, i'll pay the personality if they catch me and they'll just show up when they're ill at the last minute and get the insurance. it's a flawed mechanism and it's -- you know, there's so many easy ways to fix the problems. we need to make sure that people who need medical care can get it, what happens-- >> either way. >> first of all, we need people to be able to buy across state lines and fix the system that adds billions to costs and people own their own insurance and tax credits and people go as voluntary

people don't. do it, add this prays and reach up through the ceiling. as you twists it, it expands and locks into the joist. >> sort of like a shower curtain holding. >> and that's the first step. >> we've got this locked into place. >> right. >> what we've added it a u-bolt to hold onto the electric box for the center of the hold thing, it's not going anywhere. >> and that's your a screwing that in from the outside. >> yeah. >> the bolts are from the outside, so it's easy to do. >> and it all slides up and that's what you see what the box looks like. >> you don't have to send your ten-year-old into a crawl space. >> and mount a mounting plate this is what it hangs from and this is going to attach to the
9:38 am
electric box, not every one will look like this. some are flat and some are more of a case design and everything hangs from the case, moredy nextal, but they do the same thing, attach right there. the next step is to take the fan and all the parts out box, this is what you start with. this is kind of the main motor that's going to run everything. the fan blades attach to that. and this is the canopy that's going to hide the mechanism that it's hanging from and this is what it actually hangs from, this is going to attach up at the top and the can any will hide that and everything is going to hang from there. all you do is feed the fires through the canopy first, you can't get that over this and go in first and feed the wires and do this, and that screws into place and locks in with a bolt. that's kind of how you get to this point. when you walk over with this, got the flat one like we do, in order to do the work, this hangs there, a couple of hooks on the back. you hang that there and someone else-- you don't need somebody else,
9:39 am
and this little ball sits there and does the same thing, the wiring, the thing that most get apprehensive about. the basic structure. you have a black wire that feeds power that comes from the house. attach that to the black to black, that's going to feed the motor and run the fan and also, probably a blue or a black and white striped wire from the light. if you have a light kit. that needs power and attach to the same black wire you. >> clayton: turn off the power first. >> and the green is the ground might have slight differencens and read the instructions and tell what you to do. >> the fan blades go on and you end up with the beautiful end result and affordable. you go down home depot and you've got that lighting aisle. >> they're all stylish. >> the key is don't hook the fan blades first, you'll be in

>> searching for answers, and operation fast and furious, this week, the parents of murdered border patrol agent brian terry spoke ut against the white house and attorney general eric holder expressing frustration with the the lack of justice for their son. >> and it's something that they don't want us to know and there's something to hide. >> i think they're hiding something. i think they're lying and they're hiding it. >> after a while, we feel like throwing the tv through the front window because you get tired of hearing constantly
9:45 am
lies that you know they are doing. >> well, now, a prominent border patrol agent is calling for the attorney general's resignation, the president of the national border patrol counsel and he joins us now, good morning, george. >> good morning. >> it's heart breaking to hear the parents, who obviously had no justice and no closure, and i can imagine that it's demoralizing for all the border patrol agents, yourself and all of those that you represent, in not being able to get answers for what happened here. but how would eric holder resigning help you get more answers? >> well, it may not necessarily get us the answers we need. but, perhaps the the person holding that position will deliver the material that we need to get those answers, because that's a stance now, he's not going to give us those answers. >> alisyn: but you believe that he knows something that he's not telling you. what is that? >> well, that's the million
9:46 am
dollar question. obviously, those documents hold the information that the reform and oversight committee are seeking. that's the reason that the obama administration came out with this executive privilege. the answers that we need to find out who is at fault, to hold those parties responsible are in those documents. >> alisyn: if it turns out from the investigation that this is all just some sort of hair-brained scheme by the head of the tucson atf bureau, does that end up satisfying your questions? >> it would, ultimately, all that we're seeking are the answers. that's what the terry family is seeking. that's what we're seeking and the attorney general's not cooperating, in getting those answers. >> alisyn: what are your border patrol agents saying about this case and the investigation? >> well, they're pissed off. it's a year and a half into this investigation, and if it were any of us, we would be
9:47 am
brought up on charges, and probably be proposed termination for conducting ourselves in this investigation the same way the attorney general has. >> alisyn: and the fact that no one has been fired and that one of your own was murdered, how can you make sense of that? >> well, as long as you're in this bureaucracy, as long as i've been, it's really not a surprise. it's just a shame that it continues year after year after year. there's somebody responsible, they need to be held accountable, it's pretty simple for us. >> alisyn: you say you'd like eric holder to do four things, one is resign, what else are you looking for? >> we're looking for a sin veer apology to the terry family, we're looking that he turns over all the relevant documents. we're also looking for him to answer all the questions honestly and truthfully, to date. i don't believe that he's done that and the fourth step, as you stated, is for him to resign his post as the

>> well, it's a wild one. a medical mystery that has researchers scratching their heads and all over their body and people are suddenly developing an allergic reaction to red meat. and there's a little-- see this tick? that's a tick, that's to blame. joining us now is the director for allergien and care in new
9:52 am
york. doctor, thank you for being with us. with nyu. >> that's right. >> mike: the medical center there. we had a quick shot of the tick, called the lonestar tick because it has a white little star on its back and kind of looks like the lonestar, the logo for the lonestar state, state of texas. so, people go out, maybe they're hunters and go out or camping and they don't know that a tick is on them. and it's in their system now. and they have an allergic reaction when they're eating red meat. this is weird. >> this is weird even for an analyst myself in practice over 15 years seen all kinds of food allergies both in adults and kids. what's strange, the university of virginia, the researchers were clever and found a variety were having meat allergies, 4 or 500 and all had a history of being bitten by a tick. that could conclude something is going on with the lonestar tick generally in the southeastern part of the united states. what happens, you get bitten
9:53 am
by the tick, itchy, and the body makes an anti-bid also present in red meat, lamb, pork, and as a result when you eat at barbecue and have a nice burger, four to six hours later full-blown reaction, hives, shock, it's not immediate. it could be six hours later and people coming into the emergency room and having a-- >> isn't that odd. don't we normally have allergic reactions right away. >> minutes or seconds, occurs quickly so it's unusual to have a delayed reaction and have such a severe and generallylized a generallylized reaction. >> and if you have an allergy to meat, is that the rest of your life. >> the researchers think over time if you have less exposure to ticks, perhaps you'll be able to eat meat again.
9:54 am
and the trick is go to a savvy allergies. and people have an epi pen, that he the only antidote for allergic reaction if it's a life threatening. so people have to have an action plan and population, this or other food allergies. >> mike: what do you think of the study, is this enough proof. do you believe this? >> i think they're looking at a link and more purchase looking at university of virginia researchers, this tick and immune response. they know, once you get bitten by the tick, the levels of antibody, this particular antibody, which is a sugar goes up immediately. it seems to be something with this particular lonestar tick. >> mike: the lonestar tick is that in a big part of the country. >> generally speaking bible belt, southeast, where it's present, but a case in long island a few weeks ago, talking about an allergies patient in the bathroom passing out after having the reaction. >> mike: check it out. the yellow area where the
