tindery there, maybe just this year, maybe don't do a fire. >> especially down south and in colorado. i agree. >> i like to hear your summation of fourth of july. >> i think this may be the year that people don't shoot the bottle rockets by themselves. >> how about sparkler? >> go for sparklers. >> let's get to your headlines as well. attorney general eric holder firing back now at republicans in his first interview since the house voted to hold him in contempt of congress. holder claims that the g.o.p. is making him a proxy to attack president obama in an election year. the u.s. military grounding all c-130 planes fighting wildfires after one crashed in south dakota killing one crew member. all seven of the planes will now be inspected. some could be back in the sky within the next couple of days. this is the second crash of a plane fighting wildfires this year. a lockheed martin tanker crashed in utah last month leaving both crew members on board dead.

mitt romney is vowing to "do the exact opposite" of president obama when it comes to israel. he announced he will visit israel later this month and meet with the prime minister benjamin netanyahu. romney has visited israel three times before. president obama has not been there since his 2008 campaign. a sore spot among some israeli forces. a shocking scene caught on camera in north carolina. a woman riding on a ferry in the palmilco sound catching this amazing lightning strike on her cell phone. she was recording the choppy waves when it all happened. those are the headlines. >> we're excited. governor christie will be here in an hour. laura ingraham in two hours. first thing is first. a lot of people will find something for the first time today. at the supreme court ruled on obamacare so please, wake your kids and inform them what's going on in this country. >> all right, so there's a new poll out that says only 41% --

not only, a whopping 41% are unaware that the supreme court upheld the health care law. 50 -- here's the silver lining. 59% of americans have woken up since last thursday and they are aware that the court ruled. 17% are not sure if the court ruled, 18% the court did not rule and 16% aware the court ruled but don't know how. guys, why are we so surprised at this? half of the american people cannot name who the vice president of the united states is and more than half of the people in the united states of america did not exercise their right to vote. so why should we be surprised by this? >> because it's on every newspaper and every tv. >> half of all people don't know who the vice president is and half of the people don't know. >> absolutely no doubt. just that they rule. we've talked about it nonstop. it's an important -- it's affecting 1/5th economy for who knows how long, some would say november, december or for the rest of our lives. it's substantial and going to be hard to overturn.

of the 59% who said they knew that they ruled, do you think any of them lied? i knew that. >> i'll tell you what, it's up to people at their barbecues this weekend to fill in the person next to you. if you're at a barbecue and not everybody knows, you haven't done your job as an american. if you look at the ratings our rated surged during the announcement and after the announcement and through there. people who are watching now are engaged. >> i think our viewers are very smart people but you have to factor in that not everyone is paying attention. >> did you say factor? >> i did. >> but i didn't say it on purpose but i know you were thinking that. >> i was thinking that, too, because bill o'reilly was back last night, odd vacation of choice. last week he's off. this week, he's in. >> question his vacations now? >> i'm going to do that. i'll see if i can get to the heart of the story and do it in our talking points tomorrow. bill o'reilly was on the record like many people who said, listen, obamacare is going to be

overturned. it's just a formality. let's find out what day in june it's going to happen. it didn't happen. he gives a theory of why it didn't happen. listen. >> i think it happened because he doesn't want the court to be put in this position any longer. he wants the electorate to step up and vote for the kind of country they want. as i said, that's the message. he said you don't like my ruling? vote these people out in november. change the government. you don't like it? change it. don't -- don't rely on the supreme court, my court, ok? to start legislating from the bench? >> don't take the case if you don't want to legislate from the bench. that's a total copout. no, if any justice on the supreme court says yeah, we'll take the case but by the way, we don't want to rule what our thoughts are. >> i think you're 100% right. there are those who say there's sort of judicial activism which means they'll start to legislate

from the bench. those say there was judicial statesmanship that says judge roberts was trying to make this decision. he wanted to make it seem like it was fair, weighing all options but the bottom line is you're 100% right. it's going to be a landmark case. it will affect 1/5 of the economy. you better take and rule on it based on the merits of the case. not what the court is going to look at. >> when that guy made his statement, everyone ripped him apart about his arguments and starting his stammering and coughing, the solicitor general, no one really focused on him. the court watchers, i don't pretend to be one, court watchers never picked up that he did argue this is a tax so everyone seemed to mix that. so when roberts found, looked into the arguments that i got something here and i was going to go with it, it reminded me of presidents when when they run for office, they say it's something that we have to get into. and when we're in the oval office and behind the desk and you have to sign a sheet saying let's go to war and ask the

country for support, when it's your responsibility and kids will die on the war that you've declared, it's a little bit different than opposed to sitting on the sidelines and being a retired judge or a legal expert. so there's a lot on your shoulders and what bill o'reilly is pointing to is as we pointed out on the couch last week, when bill o'reilly was sunning himself in malta, john roberts said i am not commenting on the wisdom of the law. and you could still overturn it. it has until 2014 to be fully implemented. >> you're giving him too much credit. >> which one? >> john roberts. >> not bill o'reilly. >> i won't delve into those waters. i know he wasn't sunning himself. let's leave it at that. the bottom line is i think you're giving the chief justice too much credit. >> what credit am i giving? i'm saying his reasoning behind it it's easier being a supreme court justice than being the guy in charge. >> i think you're overthinking it. >> i've never been accused of

overthinking, right? >> i think any justice on the supreme court shouldn't worry about the rest of the world and what they're going to think. they should do what's right about the constitution and the declaration of independence, etc., they shouldn't worry about what newspaper column is going to say what, what editorial will be written about them, etc. that's not the point of the court. >> no, but i think his decision was with that in mind. his decision is let's keep these -- the separation of powers intact. i don't want to write legislation, i don't want to change the direction of the country. i want to establish constitutionality. am i in danger of overthinking? >> perhaps. >> thank you very much. let's move on to this. the holiday weekend nightmare for millions of people without power. it could be a while before electricity is restored as temperatures continue to soar into the 90's. steve centanni is live with all the sweltering heat. hey, steve. >> good morning. this is -- one of the advantages of living in the d.c. area is these calm green neighborhoods

but when a big storm rolls through like last friday, these big huge mature trees come tumbling down. that's what happened behind me. a huge tree blocking this road and another one around the corner blocking another road. folks in this neighborhood are severely handicapped. car was crushed around the corner. fortunately, none of these homes were hit and they easily could have been. there could have been injuries and could have been deaths. i think people squeaked by here but they have a mess to clean up and it's going to take a while to clean this up and just in time for the fourth of july, too. the d.c. area and several states around here, maryland, virginia, west virginia still suffering the brunt of this from that major storm that rolled through on friday and left in its wake two million people still without power so there's no electricity here. there's probably not going to be electricity for many, many, many homes until wednesday, thursday, friday of this week on into the weekend. hopefully by friday most of them will be back up. fourth of july, some of the

fireworks shows in localities around here had to be canceled because of fears of congestion and dangers because of power failures at the locations where those fireworks shows were scheduled so the fourth of july certainly has a wrench thrown into the works by that big storm that rolled through here and folks living in these neighborhoods are suffering still, too, without power, without air conditioning. food in the refrigerator spoiling. not a pleasant situation but slowly over the next few days should get back to normal. back to you guys. >> all right, steve centanni live for us in virginia. thanks for the update. >> here we go. 10 minutes after the hour. the u.s. economy is slowing. some using the word recession. so what does that mean for the president's re-election efforts? stuart varney making an effort to get here on time. refusing to walk. we'll get to the bottom of that story. he's just standing. >> and disgraced congressman anthony weiner, remember him? rumor is he's getting ready to make a comeback. >> finally, that's great! he was quoted in our article.

i've been fortunate to win on golf's biggest stages. but when joint pain and stiffness from psoriatic arthritis hit, even the smallest things became difficult. i finally understood what serious joint pain is like. i talked to my rheumatologist and he prescribed enbrel.

enbrel can help relieve pain, stiffness, and stop joint damage. because enbrel, etanercept, suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if, whilen enbrel, you experice persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. [ phil ] get back to the things that matter most. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. [ doctor ] enbrel, the number one biolog medicine prescribed by rheumatologists. >> the economy is showing signs of slipping back into a recession. will it recover in time to help

the president's re-election efforts? stuart varney is here. stuart, the r word again, you sure? >> i think it's legitimate to use that word. you asked the question. are we slipping into recession? it's legitimate to use the word. and here's the question. what will stop us? what will stop this downward spiral that we are now on? i mean, can you think of anything on the horizon? you follow money. can you think of anything on the horizon that will get us out of this mess? because we are spiralling down and i don't see anything out there to stop us. >> i tend to agree, can i throw this in here, not the technical definition of the recession. negative growth. >> that's basically six months in which the economy shrinks. that's the technical definition of it. that doesn't mean anything to most people. most people still think we're not -- you got your hand up. >> yeah, i don't know. you wanted to -- can you ask me the question that you asked eric. >> i forgot what the question was. >> can you think of anything on the horizon that -- >> can you think of anything on

the horizon that will stop this downward spiral? go. >> europe is in such bad shape, the money will continue to pour into america, if nothing else, the t-bills will allow us to stay and sustain above the growth level. >> nice try. interest rate on treasury securities has been low for a number of years. hasn't done us much good, has it? >> oh, gosh! brian! we'll be all over the blog. >> he walked out on us. >> we'll be all over the blogs. people are going to think you're really mad. oh, my gosh. >> he walks out on an englishman right before july 4th. >> oh, my gosh. >> that's incredible. >> you're going on vacation anyway. >> i am. >> he prepped that question all morning, too. >> unemployment is at 8.2%. these are the factors in which you are building your r word recession theory. >> here's the story. consumers have spent less in each of the last two months. in america, that's very unusual.

more people are arriving on the unemployment lines. again, that's a negative trend. and manufacturing yesterday contracted for the first time in three years. on friday, we got the latest unemployment report. i say it could be that the unemployment rate goes up. that's my reasoning for we are spiralling down and i don't see what stops us. >> i saw the amount of jobs created for the last month, or this current month that we're in right now, 90,000. >> nothing. >> that's nothing. that is peanuts. >> that would put the interest rate -- unemployment rate up. >> in a country with 132 million jobs, a new 90,000 jobs is absolutely nothing. and could put the rate up, as you say. >> i think i remember a few months ago when the three of us were on the couch together and we had some sort of a bet. >> uh-oh. >> this mr. bolling disagrees with stuart varney and myself about which direction the economy was going. >> i said things --

>> somebody is going to have to do a little bit of a jig. >> i think i have to do the dougy. >> yes, you do. >> because you just -- i have on tape you now agreeing with mr. varney. >> yeah, i'll have to do the dougy. >> the dougy will be coming up later on. >> not with me in it, that's for sure. >> all right, stu. have a fantastic show. >> thanks very much, everyone. >> and a great vacation. >> thank you. >> how will history remember president obama? he might have just won a serious legal battle. does it mean defeat for him in the long run? >> then what happened to this dad?

>> couple of quick headlines for you. a small town of mammoth lake has no choice after getting stuck with a legal bell that it can't afford. last week, stockton, california, became the largest city in america to file for bankruptcy. meantime, firefighters forced to rescue a dad from a tree in his own front yard. he climbed up to hang a swing for his daughter and realized he needed some help getting down. his wife filming the entire rescue. and posting it on line. how embarrassing for that poor dad. >> 22 minute after the hour. how are history books described president obama's time in office? like other famous presidents, he passed a major piece of legislation but their policies were mostly popular. health care is not as of last week, fox news polls show the

overwhelming majority opposed to his reforms. in the long run, how might this play out? joining us right now, editor of the national interest magazine, he's also author of this great new book, it's called "where they stand, the american presidents in the eyes of voters and historians." what a great book to get as fourth of july is upon us. let's talk about today before we talk about yesterday. this piece of legislation, unlike social security and medicare, not passing popular -- not passing very popular, correct? >> very correct and i think the point to be made here is that president obama didn't really lay the groundwork for the passage of such monumental legislation as predecessors of significance in the presidential realm have done. >> what do you mean? i mean, he ran on it. he said he wanted to do it in his first year as a campaigner. how did he not prepare the groundwork? >> consider lyndon johnson, for example, when lyndon johnson passed civil rights bill and medicare and medicaid, he had

significant advantages in both parties. obama passed obamacare with a very, very partisan vote. he got maybe a couple of house members and no senators. and so what we're talking about here is failing to sort of lay the groundwork to get the country ready for something like a piece of legislation of this magnitude. >> has the horse left the barn? can he still do it -- can you do it the backwards way now that it's basically passed? can you sell people on it or is it too late? >> i think it's probably too late on this piece of legislation. i mean, this isn't fatal to them but it's definitely a net negative to have a piece of legislation pushed through congress in this way that's so unpopular and lingeringly unpopular. a lot of democrats thought well, we'll pass it and the american people will warm up to it. but they haven't done that. >> in researching the presidents, it's fascinating when you bring up presidents at war and presidents with different challenges through time, some have to deal with

very partisan atmospheres. we like to think that this is the only polarizing time in our history but it's not correct. am i correct in that statement? >> you're absolutely correct. we go through these polarizing times? we're in one now. what we find when that happens is we have a situation in which congress turns dysfunctional and the rhetoric turns nasty and that's exactly what we're living through but, you know, the way you get through these in our system is through presidential leadership or not at all and so far, we haven't had the presidential leadership that we need to sort of move us through this deadlock phase. >> as you look back at our presidents in years past, they left the office with a certain amount of popularity. some grow as we look back and some shrink. some that have grown i guess that are truman and another person that has grown is coolidge. do you agree with my assessment? >> well, coolidge was a significant president. he presided over marvelous times.

the economy was growing. there was peace in the land. we had no wars overseas. >> reagan loved him. >> reagan put his picture in the cabinet room. >> because of what he accomplished. truman left with a 22% approval rating and he's on most lists including i believe yours, near great. >> he is near great. i would say this, the voters judged the presidents differently from the way the historians do. the historians look at their overall record and truman's overall record was heroic but the voters look at the presidents in terms of their four year terms and if you look at truman, his inherited term was tremendous and his second term was a sputtering term which is why he had that 22% approval rating in gallup. >> and you believe adams, historians are giving a lift to maybe unjustifiably. >> i think adams is a mid president. he signed the acts and he presided over economic

sputtering. i don't think adams was a great president. yet, the historians, because he was a great man have tended to give him higher marks than i think the voters did at the time and that i would. >> and as we look back at the war of 1812, the president at that time is madison. where do you rate him? >> well, madison is considered a kind of a middle range president by the historians but the voters absolutely loved the guy and he ushered in the so-called era of good feelings so i think he probably deserves that little higher level than he's been getting in history. >> 200 years since that war, he would go out on the battlefield you'd write for 16 hours even though he had no history. only about 5'3". washington was during a pretty extraordinary time. thanks for doing this, special book and thanks for taking today's headlines and giving it a long view. >> great pleasure for me. thanks. >> robert perry, thanks so much. are your tweets -- are your tweets your own? the court says no, they are not. they belong to twitter and can be used against you. judge napolitano is really angry

>> today, brian and i will be on the radio and it's going to be nasty. >> but informative. >> always is. and well thought out. now to the rest of the headlines while i tuck in my mike wire. this unbelievable video says it all, newly released footage of the colorado wildfires through the perspective of firefighters shot by several men in the colorado springs fire department. the fire had killed two people and destroyed at least 300 homes and forced thousands of people from their homes. at this hour, though, it is now 70% contained. brian? >> all right. passengers not -- on a united flight stranded after their flight got diverted. it got worse, no hotels were available and no restaurants were open. they were norsed to sleep on the floor cold and hungry. the airline did not step in to help. >> my cousin was super cold. oh, my gosh. i felt bad for little kids. you see little 6-year-olds just tired, sleepy and cranky and you

feel bad for everyone because everyone is on the floor, yeah crying. >> no hotels in midland since when? some passengers are furious with united airlines and say they're filing a personal grievance with the airline. we'll follow that story. eric? >> it's been nearly a year since anthony weiner resigned in disgrace following a sexting scandal. >> i got into politics and help give voice to the many who did not have one and now i'll be looking for other ways to contribute my tal enlts to -- talents to make sure we live up to the most new york american ordeals. >> it appears he may be trying to stage a comeback, using the supreme court ruling on health care as an opportunity to talk about his support of the law and the work he did for it. gretch? >> she may be 87 years old but that's not stopping a pennsylvania woman from putting a would-be robber in his place. she gets a knock on her door from the man saying his car broke down. and he needs a ride! but when they got in the car, the man pulled out a 12-inch

knife demanding money from the a.t.m. >> he said i want money. i said i'm not going to an a.t.m. machine, i'making you to the police station. >> that's exactly what she did. when they got there, he tried to make a run for it but the cops caught him. that's brave. he was armed with a knife. let's go to brian now because one of his special friends has some sad news this morning. >> absolutely. one of "fox & friends" special friends really. dara torres is 45 years old and trying to do something unprecedented, compete in a sixth olympics and go to london. guess what? she finished just out of the money in fourth place on the 50 meter freestyle of the olympic trials missing out by .09 of a second so it looks like she'll go as a commentator or coming to "fox & friends" to tell us what's happening. she's a good friend to the show and says she's looking forward

to spending time with her daughter. an amazing photo finish of the olympic trials called off. i don't know why she did this. backing out hours before saying her heart wasn't into it and believed she won the race initially so allison felix gets third place and a spot at the olympics. she'll regret that. home sweet home for lamar odom as he gets to spend more time at home with khloe in los angeles. he's back at home with the clippers scoring him in a trade where he basically quit on the dallas mavericks. i guess he missed being home and being part of a reality show. so lamar odom goes back to the clippers and see if they can restore some of that career and the glamour of his career and see if he and khloe can move forward with their portion of the kardashian franchise. i'm going to be talking about the kardashians on "keeping score." which is my sports blog. >> very good. >> you walk out sometimes. you come back. he's over there.

he walks. walk to the same -- >> i got to keep moving. >> i've worked with him for almost six years in a row, that's the diagnosis. >> i got problems. >> a.d.d.? >> are your tweets your own? the court says no way! they belong to twitter. and can be used against you. that's the case for occupy protesters arrested during a march on the brooklyn bridge last fall. the judge ruling "if you post the tweet just like if you scream out a window, there's no reasonable exception of privacy." i'm sorry, expectation of privacy. there's no propietary interest in your tweets that you have gifted to the world. >> andrew napolitano is here now. >> i spent four years in a windowless room with kilmeade. >> got to keep moving, right? i like to keep going. >> how many advil did you take? just kidding. we love brian. >> ok, so is this right legally?

>> well, it's groundbreaking, i can tell you that. it's the first case in the united states of america in which a judge has said because i tweet to the three of you as opposed to e-mail just to eric that there's no expectation of privacy in the tweet. i think that this will be appealed to a higher court. this is an entry level court. this is a new york city criminal court that has a limited amount of jurisdiction. i think when it's appealed to a higher court, perhaps even to the supreme court of the united states, they'll be forced to -- >> god knows what they'll do. but they'll be forced to apply standard privacy jurisprudence to this, the standard rule before this case was if you communicate with three people, that's private between you and those three. just because the three becomes 30 or 300, you don't necessarily lose the privacy. this is an occupy wall street protester and the government wanted all of his tweets no matter the subject matter and no matter to whom he tweeted and

the courted said once you hit the send button, it's not yours. >> they're 100% right. think about it, the way twitter is right now, you want to build as many followers as possible and get your thoughts out there no matter how inane they are so these people put their thoughts out there and all of a sudden, they're concerned about sharing it. are you kidding? >> there's a little thing called the fourth amendment that until yesterday and i shouldn't say until yesterday because this case only applies -- this ruling only applies in this case. it has no effect anywhere else because of the level of the court. if this were the federal court of appeals in new york, it would apply in a couple of states. it just applies to this judge in this courtroom. but before that, the rule would have been the government has to show a reason for the tweets. it can't just ask for them and the reason has to be some evidence of crime involved in the language of the tweets. >> but judge, does it only apply to the tweets that are sent out to the public domain or you can direct message brian directly? that's a tweet. >> that's different. >> when they go off the host? >> i will say this for the

judge as critical as i have been of him. he did sit down and read all the tweets himself and decide that some of them were hilarious, some of them were utterly not worthy of going to the -- >> remind me to buy shoes! >> wasn't it in this case that they are trying to prove criminality? so it's like subpoenaing any other document that might help them in the case. >> except that that puts the court -- the court -- the cart before the horse. because the fourth amendment requires that before the government can get the documents or the tweets or the e-mails or the text messages, it has to have some evidence of crime. it can't get them and hope that there's evidence in there. >> i blame jefferson. why didn't he anticipate the rise of twitter and therefore, we're stuck with this problem on our hands. >> last time i spoke to jefferson, he didn't want to talk about this. >> i know. all he does is talk about his farm. he'd rather talk about being governor of virginia. >> does air he can ho-- eric

holder tweet? >> that's a good question. most people in the obama administration do. don't suggest it to issa. it will be the basis of another subpoena. >> have a fantastic fourth, judge. >> same to you, guys. >> coming up on "fox & friends", it's the most abused of prescription painkillers. so powerful and addictive, people will do anything to get their hands on it. now it's being considered for 6-year-olds. tell you about that. >> incredible. he was ready to fight for a controversial mosque in tennessee but what he found was -- what he found out about radical islam changed his mind completedly. that filmmaker is here next.

as young as 6, it's prescribed for pain. >> it's not our first line medication that we would use to treat a child's pain. it's for those cases where children won't be helped by, you know, the more typical tylenol or ibuprofen so in cases where children have pain from cancer or chronic neurological pain or musculoskeletal pain and sometimes after a surgery where we're transitioning them from oral pain medication, those are instances that we might choose this as a pain medication. >> when adults hear this without knowing the facts, the alarms go off. we've seen over abuse of this drug and how easy it is to doctor shop for adults to continue with these addictions. any reasons to be concerned that we would give this powerful drug to young children? >> certainly. it's not generally prescribed willie nilly. when it's prescribed, we do it

in a controlled situation. often it's in the hospital at least when it's started. we dispense small amounts with no refills. actually, we can't even legally have refills on these kinds of medications and have close monitoring for possible adverse effects and children becoming more dependent on it so it's not generally just prescribed widely and we try to keep a close eye on patients that we do. >> some of the arguments against this have to do with the fact that the patent will be running out for the drug manufacturer that makes oxycontin and their monetary interests are such that they want to keep the money flowing in and that's why they wanted the f.d.a. to approve this for kids. what do physicians feel about that? >> well, you know, it could be the case. that could be the reasoning behind what's happening. but it does help because we do need more clinical studies in young children on these types of medications that have really only been tested in adults and we're just extrapolating that data to the children to try to figure out how it it might affect them so in this case, the

study would still help us see how these drugs can affect children. >> here's the statement from the purdue farmer spokesperson. we feel it is beneficial to have access to this information whether the results have positive or negative so doctors can make better decisions about the care of their patients. that's from james heinz. i think it's important to point out that kids have not been studied with these types of drugs. it's similar to women who don't have a lot of heart disease studies and what's applicable to men isn't always applicable to women. the same could be said for kids. >> absolutely. there are many medications we prescribe to children that have not been tested on children because it's harder to test children for these types of things. it means getting blood tests and urine samples, things that might be easier for an adult. so there's many medications out there that haven't been tested on children that we routinely use on children. >> thanks for your thoughts this morning. >> he was ready to fight for a controversial mosque in tennessee but what he found about radical islam changed his mind completely. filmmaker here with stunning

>> all right. time to do a little tax work. i know. don't get scared. we'll break down the taxes for you on the health care law that was upheld by the supreme court. >> all right. here it is, for example, people

think to themselves, well, it's just if i don't want to buy insurance, they're going to force me to get insurance and force to pay a penalty but who will pay this mandate tax? 11% of the population. 1% of the population which is about, what, 30 million -- about 30 million people would pay the penalty. >> which, by the way, happens to be the number of uninsured already so they're saying in addition to the people who are uninsured will pay the tax, but there's a problem with that. not only -- we have to really break this down. there are two taxes involved with obamacare. one is this penalty for not applying -- for complying with the mandate. >> which by the way, eric said yesterday as a senior spokesman for mitt romney, he said it's a penalty, i agree with the president. >> he can say whatever he wants. if the supreme court calls it a tax and that's the only way it gets passed it's a tax. anyway, 75% of that money, that penalty tax will be born by people making under $120,000 a year. the problem is -- there are a whole set of new taxes and

additional taxes in obamacare that have nothing to do with the penalty phase tax that are just brand new tax revenues in the bill. >> just to add to that first little problem, though, president obama when he was trying to push health care said that nobody under a certain threshold of income would have any tax increase. >> right. >> which is now not true so that's the first part of it. now, you look at these other taxes that will affect everybody, no matter what your income level is and these are the following. the over-the-counter drug tax. the flexible spending account tax. these are pretax dollars that you can put into an account to pay your medical expenses and a whole bunch of other stuff at the drugstore that can be very cost effective for those with kids. that will be a cap on that. >> the medical itemized deduction hurdle. you'll deal with that. and a health savings account withdrawal penalty. if you have a health savings account that were put together over the last six years, that

was one of the bush administration brain child, now you're going to have a penalty for having it and for adding to it. >> and the last two on on that list, indoor tanning tax and health insurance plan tax, those are already implemented already in advance of the law or on their way in. but there's a whole bunch of new ones. there's a $60 billion tax on health insurers. this is one that we asked donald trump about yesterday and he kind of hit on it. 3.8% tax on investment income, on dividends, on payments to people when they invest in companies. 3.8% tax. did anyone realize that if you're investing in companies or a house and you make money on it, you'll get taxed an additional 3.8% because of obamacare. >> you might say to yourself it's not worth it for me to invest in this company because i don't want to pay the 3.8%. it's important, too, when you hear cadillac health insurance, you think those rich people. 33% of the people with these so-called cadillac health insurance are middle class. so they're now going to be taxed

additionally. >> and the question is -- >> didn't the unions, though, get special exemption? >> i thought it was all temporary. >> in the way it was temporary. the question is george h.w. bush lost the re-election because he said read my lips, no new taxes. president obama has said the same thing. no new taxes for people under $200,000 a year and as you can see, tens if not hundreds of billions of dollars in new taxes to people making under $120,000 a year. >> 41% of the people didn't know about the supreme court health ruling. >> don't overthink it. >> that could be problematic for mitt romney. coming up on "fox & friends", imagine meeting the girl of your dreams and then comes dear old dad. >> commandment number 2 -- thou shall better have a life. you see, my wife and i have worked our butts off to provide a good living for our kids. so you better have a life, spanky. >> that tough talking dad also a pastor and he's here with the 10 commandments to date his daughters. >> and speaking of tough talk,

here's another look at the ship from a distance during world war ii, it was the last one to radio back to say the weather was clearing for the d-day invasion, the reef is the first off-shore veterans me morm. those are your headlines. >> let's officially bring in new jersey governor chris christie. welcome back. >> good to be here. >> i have to say that i think jack wells tweeted out something that rupert murdoch tweeted out right away, i know you're tight with governor romney and his campaign, it's time to change some things within his campaign. do you think governor romney should visit where he's at in these two days he has off? >> i really don't. if you look at where the race is right now, saw some recent polls coming out this morning showing in the battleground states, governor romney has a pretty sizable lead over president obama and the race is a very different race. if i told you back in february, governor romney is getting beaten up all over the republican primaries that we'd be sitting here fourth of july and he would be in a dead heat with the president, you would

have signed up for that. the fact of the matter is that governor romney has run a good campaign. he's focused. he's confident. and i don't think there's, you know, any time to change right now. i think we've got a good campaign team and they're moving the campaign forward. >> you weren't concerned at all that one of his main spokespeople yesterday agreed with president obama and said that governor romney agrees that the supreme court ruling that it's not a tax, it's a penalty. >> i get less concerned about what spokespeople say and more concerned about what the person who is going to be president of the united states is. you know why there's spokespeople and not candidates? you saw that reason. governor romney knows what he feels about these issues and he feels strongly -- >> it was a mistake? >> listen, i'm not going to evaluate it whether it was a mistake. it doesn't matter to me. we have a 24 hour news cycle and you have to cover it 24 hours, campaign doesn't feel it's necessary to push people out there to do that. what the american people will

focus on what they hear from mitt romney directly. what they're hearing from him is the plan to put americans back to work. >> where does he go from here? do you stay on obamacare, do you stay on whether or not obamacare is a tax. do you hit those points or do you turn it back to the jobs situation, that he loves to play in. >> listen, i think the thing that the american people care about the most are jobs. and getting people back to work. getting themselves, their neighbors, their friends back to work and i think governor romney when he talks about that, that's when he's most self-confident because he knows how to do that and he knows how to create jobs. that's what you'll see him go back to. this week given the supreme court rule, you'll hear a lot of conversation about obamacare but more from governor romney. >> i feel like romney could gain some steam from this health care ruling because he could argue the only way you'll get rid of obamacare if you don't like it is to elect me. that's what some people thought yesterday was really damaging because it sort of took away the glory run of that argument.

>> geez, i don't think that's a glory run, gretchen. i mean, governor romney himself has been out there saying now there's one alternative left. i heard him say it the other day. you have to elect me if you want to get rid of obamacare. he gets it. and you'll hear him saying that. i think that's why i say it's very important for us to distinguish between what a spokesperson might say on tv and what the candidate himself is going to say. i listen to mitt romney. and when mitt romney speaks, i see a candidate that's now more self-confident, more self-assured, more on message than any time during the campaign and i think that's what's causing the president so many problems. >> let's talk about you. governor of new jersey will now have this obamacare come to your theater and your theater says set up exchanges, you got until 2014 to do it and number two, expand medicaid. are you going to join governor scott, governor walker in not expanding medicaid and not setting up exchange? >> we've talked about it before, medicaid is pretty well expanded in our state already because of a legacy of previous democratic governors and so i

don't think there's a lot more for us to do in new jersey in that regard. secondly, on exchanges, remember, you have two options under the law. you can set up a state exchange or you can let the federal government set up your exchange. and so, you know, we'll consider both of those options. and what's the most cost effective for the citizens of new jersey. i don't want to spend any money that i don't have to spend from state taxpayer dollars. and so the fact of the matter is, you know, if it's more cost effective to let the federal government set this up, we'll make sure going that route on the health exchanges. >> 10 years down the line, the federal government says we need off of that and puts it more to the states, you might not be in office then. >> that's absolutely true, brian, but, you know, the cost factor is much more on medicaid than it is on the exchanges. >> governor, are you surprised at the poll we showed this morning that 41% of the people when polled didn't know that the health care ruling even came down? >> no, it's july. real americans are on vacation. they're relaxing with their families. and they'll get tuned into it.

but never surprises me. it concerns me because i'm someone who is very plugged into this as you are. and i care about it deeply. but you need to understand, you got the american people out there who are struggling to pay their mortgages. who are struggling to pay their kids' tuition that's going to come up this summer to send them to college. who would love to have a few dollars to put together to take their kids to the jersey shore. which is what they really should do. >> forget the hamptons! >> please. why would you go to the hamptons? really. so they're concerned about real life kitchen table issues. and while obamacare does matter, i think the fact that the supreme court put down a ruling, while i'm disheartened that 41% of the people didn't know it, i'm not shocked. >> i'm not shocked either but in a more cynical way because half of the american public cannot name who the vice president is and half of the american public doesn't -- is that a fair assessment, too, that we can look at this cynically and say people aren't plugged in in general? >> some percentage of those people certainly are, you know, the people who don't take time to go and vote, you wouldn't be surprised to learn that they

didn't know the united states supreme court came down with a ruling on obamacare. but i do also think there's an element to it, gretchen, people, once you get into the summer. people say listen, i got plenty of time to listen to these arguments come labor day. give me my summer. let me vacation with my family. let me keep looking for a job, i'm not going to focus on those other things. we have to understand there are real problems out there among the american people. they've been suffering for a number of years. and they're plugged more into that than they are into some of the stuff that's happening in washington. >> one of the big things that you're concerned about jobs. you had to come in and you had to lean out government and for the third straight year, you balanced the budget. how have you struck that balance? >> listen, you have to make tough choices and we did it again this year. our budget this year is smaller than the corzine budget was five years ago. >> how do you explain that? >> because you make hard choices. you go in there and cut spending in places that unnecessary. we were talking about how great the school system is in livingston.

you have to invest in those school systems to make sure that we keep our kids educated but, you know, you do things like for the third year in a row now, i vetoed a tax increase they wanted to put on the people of new jersey in this economy. at the same time, i called a special session yesterday to say cut taxes. give a 10% tax cut to people. they got up and walked out of the chamber without voting. >> the democrats. >> yes. >> democratic legislators. >> what's this walking out thing? >> listen. the bill was there and they could voted on it and said this is my speech and they left without voting. while the people of new jersey are suffering under the highest tax burden of anybody in america and i'm trying to cut their taxes after reigning in spending and doing it responsibly they say let's wait until december or january to cut taxes. that doesn't help the family this summer who is looking for some certainty for tax relief. >> before we go, governor, is obamacare a tax? >> sure. yeah. i mean, listen, i thought all along that it was a tax.

and i don't think it's exclusively a tax or a penalty. it's both. and there's no question in my mind about that, it's both! they're meaning to penalize people and they argue that the supreme court it was a tax. now, of course, you argued in the campaign and forward that it wasn't but he's now in a bind. he's in a bind as to what this is all about. but i think there's no question that it's both. it's meant to penalize people and it is a tax. there's no doubt. because we have to pay for the government program. >> many people believe this election in november will be the most important of our lifetime. do you agree with that? >> sure. listen, i think every presidential election has its own measure of importance but i think this one where you have two such radically different visions of america's future, one that's government centered by the president and one that is empowering the american people to use their entrepreneural spirit to help grow the private economy and governor romney, those are such different visions of america, you'll get a very different america depending on these results in november. so i think it's extraordinarily

important not to mention how to deal with the problems we have overseas. >> a lot of people are saying we'll find out within the next three months who the running mate will be? who is more attractive theoretically to the number two spot, talk to your family over the weekend, it's not going to work. four months, it will be a sprint. not a marathon like it originally was going to be. is that more attractive? >> listen, you know what's attractive to me, being governor of new jersey. you know, this selection of the vice president candidate is an election with one voter. it's mitt romney. and governor romney will decide who he thinks is the best person to be his partner. as i said before, i love being governor of new jersey. i have every intention of staying as governor. if governor romney calls, i'll certainly listen. he's the nominee of my party and i've been working for him, i was the first governor to come out for him last october but if given my preference, i'd like to be the governor. >> are they doing a background check on you right now? >> let the romney campaign talk about that stuff. any conversations that i have

with governor romney are between me and him. >> do you want to have a one on one with the stadium? >> the prudential center does host the stanley cup finalists new jersey devils. maybe i'll skate a little bit for you. >> thanks for being here. governor, see you in the hamptons. >> oh! an elitist like you going to the hamptons. come on, jersey shore. >> i think he can take you, brian. >> coming up on "fox & friends", his decision made the difference in upholding the president's health care law but a stunning new report claims that pressure from the media may have given the chief justice roberts a change of heart. is that true? we report, you decide. >> and this wedding bouquet toss like no other. also, get a free flight. you know that comes with a private island? really? no. it comes with a hat. see, airline credit cards promise flights for 25,000 miles, but...

>> 16 minutes after the top of the hour. a bombshell report from behind closed doors of the supreme court. chief justice roberts reportedly changed his vote on health care and a report by cbs news says it may be because of pressure from the media? >> jan crawford cbs also reported that roberts' change of heart was almost certain to have been driven by left wing media anger around the possibility that the law would be overturned. if that's true, folks, do you know what it means, the chief justice of the supreme court of the united states is now run by the american media. >> did pressure from the mainstream media sway the chief

justice? joining me now is fox news contributor marvin kalb. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> what do you make of this report by cbs news? we should let our voters knew that rarely does any information leak out from the supreme court. having said that, what do you make of it? >> well, look, i work for cbs news for 25 years. and so i say it reluctantly. but i listened to that report last night and i did not see anything in it that was that exclusive or really that big of a deal. to raise the issue of whether the media influences us is to say the sun is going to rise in the morning. obviously, we all live in a world in which we're influenced by what we read, what we see on television. what we hear on radio. that does not mean that justice roberts made up his mind to do something truly important because of the media. >> the other thing that you could factor into it is that many people remember the president himself warning the supreme court to not do a

political decision so would that have had any bearing on chief justice roberts? >> i think that did. not the fact that the president said that but the idea that the supreme court has reached a point of such unfavorability in the minds of american public, that's a major issue. right now, according to late polls, it's a little more than 40% of the american people have the kind of respect for the supreme court that they once had. that's a bad thing. and that is probably the result of the sharp deterioration and political warfare between both major political parties. >> right. >> and the supreme court tended to be seen over the last decade as more an arm of the republican party than it was something that stood above national politics to make up its mind. >> but isn't that all about which president is in office and which seat happens to be available and who is appointed

to the court? i mean, shouldn't it be about each justice doing what they believe to be correct according to the constitution and not about what people think about them? >> gretchen, i absolutely 100% agree with you. that is what it should be. but it is not necessarily what it is. my own feeling is that each member of the court ought to put legal matters number one in his or her mind before making up their minds. however, it appears to the public because so many of these decisions seem to have run in a conservative direction rather than in a liberal direction that the court had become too political. i'm not sure that's the case at all but that is certainly the perception. >> all right. very interesting thoughts from marvin who is a fox news contributor and a long time correspondent on network news. thanks so much. >> thank you! >> coming up on "fox & friends", a filmmaker ready to fight for a controversial mosque

big facility in their town. and i had shot 300 hours of footage with that point of view, that this is really about religious freedom. after i shot, after i had time to spend in the editing room and see what i got, i started to read a book by robert spencer called "the truth about muhammad". and i thought there's just no way this can be true because if this is true, everybody would know it. there's no way islam is this radical so i did my own fact checking. and sure enough, there is no such thing as radical islam. it doesn't exist. islam is radical. muslims, fortunately, in america, mostly not radical. but islam is radical to the core. so i realized i'd made a mistake. and tried to correct that by writing a blog for daily coast. it's a liberal blog and they get about a million visitors a day. i wrote something just

explaining to people some things they probably don't know about islam specifically it stands on women, gay rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, death for being homosexual and i was told that i was right wing. and islamaphobe for pointing these things out. >> we'll get to that liberal response. i want to talk to you about the mosque. now, you pointed out that it's a substantial mosque, did the community of murfreesboro, tennessee, need a mosque that size? >> well, you know, you got 100,000 people in the community of murfreesboro, tennessee, and an estimated 200 to 300 people are muslim, not all of them attended the mosque and 45 paying members of the mosque building a 53,000 square foot facility. do they need something that big? i would say in my opinion, they're anticipating an influx of refugees, they have long term plans. do they presently need it for the size of their current membership? clearly no.

>> do you know where the money came from? did you find out in your investigation in filming? >> you know, that's the million dollar question. we don't know. i have found a link between the vice president of -- the treasurer and vice president of the islamic center between the north american islamic trust which is a muslim brotherhood front group. but as far as following the money, i haven't found the smoking gun in that regard. >> lastly, the liberal media since you changed your opinion on that mosque, they're treating you how? >> well, they don't return my calls. i mean, you know, i -- they loved me when i was saying that this was a civil rights issue. you know, the only media that's paying attention to this issue when i present facts, scary facts, are the conservative media. that's where i get invited to go on the radio and on television. the liberal media which i didn't believe existed before this, i

didn't think -- i thought that was invented by rush limbaugh, there is a liberal media and they do have a bias. they're not interested in this story. you know, i spent an hour doing the pre-interview with national public radio and i presented a lot of alarming evidence to them. and they didn't do anything with it. >> why is that? why did they turn their eye -- as you point out to the facts? >> who knows really? i think it's hard to admit when you're wrong. who knows where they're getting their funding. and i think like i -- we had talked about yesterday, there's a perceptive disability that a lot of liberals have. when i say islam, they hear muslim. so if i say i'm against islam, what they heard is i'm against muslims. which sounds like hate speech and the last thing n.p.r. wants to do is engage in what they perceive to be hate speech. >> leave it there. thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. >> all right. imagine meeting the girl of your dreams, then comes dear old dad. >> commandment number two, thou shall better have a life.

you see, my wife and i have worked our butts off to provide a good living for our kids so you better have a life, spanky. >> that tough talking dad also a pastor, he's here with the 10 commandments to date his daughters. and this wedding bouquet toss not exactly going as planned. check it out. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] what's the point of an epa estimated 42 miles per gallon if the miles aren't interesting? the lexus ct hybrid.

torch. yeah, right. >> they dress like bad guys. >> they tried to slip through security and grab it out of the runner's hands but didn't get very far and quickly booted them back into the crowd. then what happens after that? they're an olympic torch snatching crime? >> there should be. >> yeah, i mean, number one, that's why you have more than one. because, you don't want the whole olympics not to have them because the torch is gone so there is more than one. you got to arrest those people. they have to go to jail. >> or you could charge them with a tax. >> it was probably a dare from somebody, right? to do something like that? >> yeah, i guess so. if you see someone running with a torch, don't stop them. they're running to keep the olympics going, ok? that's just an important point. maybe it's part of the 41% of the country that doesn't realize obamacare exists and the olympics are coming up. >> ok. we're here to inform people and here are your headlines. occupiers getting aggressive in the city of brotherly love.

>> we are the 99%! >> speaking of arrests, police in philly arresting two dozen of these protesters during a march to city hall. one of those occupiers accused of assaulting a park ranger. more than 1500 people are expected to protest there tomorrow on the fourth of july. >> all right, not so fast, charlie, the primary opponent of disgraced democratic congressman charlie rangel may now push for a new election as soon as today. this after growing questions about the vote count and rangel's shrinking lead. the state senator -- what do you think? temporarily withdrawing the petition he filed to keep all of his legal options opened. and get this, it costs seven times more than typical fuel but the navy is steaming ahead with a plan to go green and power shifts with biofuel that costs $26 per gallon compared to $3.60 for regular gasoline. the navy plans to have half of its fleet running on alternative

>> she knows how to fall. this woman has fallen before. >> either she's desperate or she knows how to take on a great challenge. >> right. >> one of them. >> she believes in herself. she gave it her all. i think you should date her at a hustle. if a woman can hustle, i believe she should be dated. let me talk about something ols. -- else. let's talk about dating. listen up, fellas, if you want to date this florida pastor's daughter, you have to follow his 10 commandments. here's a few. >> commandment number one -- thou shall understand that your presence isn't making me happy and as a matter of fact, i have a p.i. doing a background check on you this very moment. >> commandment number 2, thou shall better have a life. commandment number 3, thou shall not touch my daughter. >> you get the spirit of it. pastor doug giles is the father of two girls and the author of this book "raising righteous and rowdy girls". he and his youngest daughter regis join us live this morning. welcome to both of you. regis, first off, when did these commandments become public to you? >> they've been public to me

since birth pretty much. >> it's been pretty well known. and how has it affected your addicted? -- dating? >> let's just say knowing how strict my father is going to be, i am 10 times stricter on the guys so none of them have made it that far to the 10 commandment level. >> i understand. pastor, where did you come up with these 10? >> it came out of my head, you know. i used to be a drug dealer, used to be a drug addict, brian, and i had the morals of a drunk alley cat and i understood that, you know, i understood from a street level standpoint what was going to be approaching my daughter so i made certain that i had a nice one to ward off potential suitors. >> you have another daughter, hannah, 23. she is -- she is married, correct? >> yes. she's married. she's been married for a year and a half. and i have a tremendous son-in-law! >> that's great. so he passed the 10 commandment test.

here's an example. >> flying colors. >> good job! here's an example of something that the criteria that the pressure is on you to come up with somebody that can do that. thou shall look me in the eye and shake my hand like a man and turn off your cell phone. regis, do you have a problem with that? >> absolutely not. you know, hopefully the guy i pick is a real man and that's ingrained in his character already. >> number five, thou shall understand you're a boy talking to a man. do not gush around me or attempt to read me an entry from your journal. i'm not oprah. i'm a neanderthal. expand on this, doug. >> yeah, i mean, you know, i'm not a touchy feely type of guy. i was raised in west texas. i'm a red neck by birth. and, you know, i'm not a metro sexual that wants to hear his deep feelings and why the color yellow makes him sad. >> right. you have to, regis, find somebody who doesn't have deep feelings, is that ok?

>> as long as he's not too emotional, you know, it's fine if he has deep feelings and he shares them with me. but he can't be crying all the time because i just can't handle that either. >> right. if you're a patriots fan and your team loses to the giants in the super bowl, that's a time to weep. i understand. how about this? doug, i like this. if you're dumb enough to tell me a dirty joke, i'm comfortable enough with kicking your ass. that's -- that's important to know, right? >> yeah, i mean, they have to have some kind of sense of decorum, you know, they're trying to win my daughter's hand so they better play it nice and tight and squeaky clean. >> all right. i totally understand that. so overall, do you think america can learn from these 10 commandments, doug? >> i think it's a great thing. you know, all it is is essentially just traditional fatherhood and, you know, old school values and stuff in a cheeky way and, you know, hopefully these commandments will go far and wide. the video has gone viral. if they go to clashdaily.com and

subscribe to our web site they can get a free 8 1/2 x 11 printout of the 10 commandments. and you know what? maybe we'll see this nation turn around and young people find that, you know, traditional values and approaching a girl with respect is a good thing. >> and hannah got the right guy and regis, you're ok with this cray ti criteria, right? >> absolutely. i think more fathers should have this as a criteria. >> i have two daughters myself. i'll jot it down in my own words. pastor doug giles, thanks so much. regis, thanks so much. i look forward to tracking your dating. >> thank you. >> thanks, guys. >> thanks. >> meanwhile, his book is called "raising righteous and rowdy girls". go get it. this fourth of july, we're getting america working again with some all american companies hiring today. cheryl casone is here and then universal health care not so fast. peter johnson jr. says states can undo obamacare themselves. but first, peter can play the pfizer trivia question of the day --

>> frustration growing now as millions across the east coast wait for their power to come back on after days of a deadly storm and the fallout from it. wttg reporter melanie olmwick live in bethesda, maryland for us where people are suffering in 90 degree heat with no a.c. as well. >> i'm in this neighborhood outside of washington, d.c. going on the fourth morning waking up without power. take a look behind me. this is what the power crews in

this area are dealing with. this is a really good example. we have situations like this all over the area. massive trees down bringing down not only power lines but the utility poles. you've got cars that have to be cleared. homes that have to be repaired. d.c., maryland and virginia still under a state of emergency. we're talking about 400,000 people still without power in the entire d.c., maryland, virginia area. july 4th celebrations on the national mall we're told are still going on but several local communities without power still cleaning up are having to cancel their july 4th fireworks celebrations. people not very happy about that. we had these straight line winds that came through here around 10:30 on friday night and just knocked down trees, crushed cars, power lines snapped. at one point, even some of the 911 systems were down and as you can imagine, that is causing some frustration in communities as well. they're kind of doing some work crews, the estimated waiting time for some of these people is 11:00 p.m. friday night, some

will be without power throughout the weekend. maybe 50,000 people in that case. we depending on how long this storm lasts, we may have a few new words for the power company as well. >> i assume so. that's frustrating. thanks so much, melanie. let's go to eric. >> thanks, gretchen. while the supreme court said yes to the individual mandate, it also said no to the medicaid mandate leaving it up to the states to decide if they want to expand the program. now, 26 states say they're against the expansion including florida governor rick scott. >> every federal program ultimately cuts back and you create this dependency and then they cut back like what they did with our schools with the stimulus and then they cut back. so we're going to do the right things for our citizens. >> so if these states continue to bail, does that mean the supreme court burst the obamacare bubble after all? joining us now, fox news legal analyst peter johnson jr. thanks, peter. let's talk about that a little bit.

what does this mean if they don't -- if they're not requiring at the supreme court level for medicaid expansion, each state can decide whether or not they want to join. >> they can shut down obamacare state by state. 26 states who are part of this lawsuit can say, yeah, we're not interested in doing this already. florida, wisconsin, south carolina, texas, ohio, pennsylvania, colorado, kansas, nebraska looking at it. another 16 could possibly say listen, we're not setting up the health care centers in our state. and we're not going to expand it. and effectively shut down the 40% or 50% of the 31 million that obamacare was supposed to provide new coverage to through medicaid. what the federal government had done and what the president had done is said listen, you know, we'll give you the option to opted out of this but if you opt out, we have to take away all the medicaid money you're already getting, the supreme court says hey, no, boys, you can't be doing that to -- to the

country. and they shut that down. so now, a lot of states including governor scott in florida who is the health care executive says no, listen, we're not going to do any of this. and effectively could in fact shut down the program that the white house -->> the medicaid program. we need to point out, peter, if i'm not mistaken, tell me if i am, medicaid levels are here individually on a state and what the obamacare wants the states to do is increase that level. if you fall below that income level, you get -- you qualify for -- >> 133% of the poverty level. and what the federal government is counting is on even though the states are going to contribute only 10% of that money, they're saying how can they turn away this money? in the past, states have said we're not going to opt into medicaid and they did anyway so they're counting on political opposition to die. but a lot of republican governors in the country are saying listen, we're not going to set up the health care exchanges. we're not going to expand. therefore, obamacare will not go

forward in our states. it's an incredible outcome. we haven't focused on that. this is the real heart of the supreme court decision in a lot of ways. >> a lot of states are pushing back because it may be 10% up front that will grow. >> billions of dollars a year. >> in honor of the nation's birthday, we're putting america back to work with the five all american companies hiring this week. but first, on this day in 1984, the reflex by duran, duran was the number one song. gretchen remembers.

services. >> ok. so one of the things i found interesting, you know, the health care decision last week with the supreme court. we were concerned about hospitals because they would have taken a brunt of the cost issues with the decision if the mandate was thrown out. it wasn't. the stock jumped. they are hiring. 1400 open jobs right now. again, 38 states. clinical roles, you can do it. be a nurse, medical professional. and they are expanding into behavioral health. there's a big need for like substance abuse, counseling, things like that. they're actually opening up more and more facilities and got into this as a new business, the c.e.o. was on fox business telling me about that. >> let's talk about molly maids. >> this is cleaning. they have 1,000 jobs. you can do cleaning work. you can do -- you can be -- you can work in the back office obviously. here's the salary range, $10 to $15 per hour. or if you're a salaried individual at the company, you can make between $20,000 and $50,000 per year. that's going to be including nights and weekends. this is one of those jobs. but again, it's a business that's growing. people need help.

>> firehouse subs. >> ok. yeah, this one was started by some former firefighters and this is -- they have 1500 jobs right now. 99% of the food that they use, the ingredients they use, everything is produced domestically. that's a big thing for them and they need cashiers and they need general managers. >> ok and red ventures, what's that? >> this is technology marketing. so they have jobs in south carolina, texas and florida right now. miami, sales workers can make $40,000 to $65,000 a year. they plan to hire 400 people. basically this is tech marketing and that's another growth industry that we're seeing is more and more as you get -- as more rural areas get into the internet, more broadband use and seeing a lot more on-line selling and things like that. >> how do people get a hold of you? they have some openings. >> we have an e-mail and we want you to e-mail us, fsjobhunt.com.

some could be back in the sky within the next couple days. this is the second crash of a plane fighting wildfires this year. the lockheed martin tanker crashed in utah last month, leaving both crew members on board dead. mitt romney vowing to, quote, do the exact opposite of president obama when it comes to israel. he will visit israel later this month and speak with netanyahu. president obama has not been there since his 2008 campaign. a sore spot among some israel supporters. talk about being too close for comfort. a woman riding on a ferry in in pamlico in north carolina, not expect to go catch this amazing lightning strike on camerae she was recording the choppy waves brought on bay storm on her cell phone when that happened. and those are your headlines.

>> eric: that was scary. >> brian: let's see if laura ingraham is up because we do have her book for this hour and laura ingraham didn't need the lightning strike to be aware that there is a lot going on in the world today. >> hey, guys. i'm actually one of the 2 million people still without power with two small children. so i'm glad to be here. >> brian: what do we do? write awe letter to book you? >> we managed to get out of the house, into a hotel last night. most of them are booked in d.c it was even a hotel that took dogs. i really slept well last night. so i'm ready to go. >> gretchen: so let's talk about the whole idea of a tax or a penalty when it comes to the supreme court's decision on health care. the white house wants to insist that it's not going to be a tax. so is the mandate still legal then? >> the argument here, of course, is that it's not the statute that congress passed, that if congress had actually written the word tax into the health

care law, specifically pertaining to what they called a penalty, they probably wouldn't have gotten the votes of jim webb of virginia, ben nelson, maybe not even bob casey, maybe not even john tester of montana. so unlikely that it would have passed. remember, as it is, it only passed by one vote. so given that fact, you wonder whether the law as passed now called a tax, was actually kind of fraudulently passed. and everybody is trying to shift the ground here when they're asked, well s a tax or not? well, it doesn't matter whether it's a tax or not, david axelrod said. well, i guess it's now declared constitutional by the court, but for future precedent, which as a former clerk myself, i'm concerned about. i think it really does matter whether the court after the pack can rewrite a statute in order to uphold it as anthony kennedy said in the dissent. i believe you shouldn't able to do that.

>> brian: governor romney's senior advisor yesterday said he believes that the governor believes it's a penalty, not a tax. totally different than the republicans were saying, the republican leaders were saying over the weekend. >> yeah, well, what i think is that as a legal matter, i think romney is right. i think they have it right. i think as a matter of the entire law, we already know there are 21 taxes built in to observe eastboundcare -- obama care, flexible spending count withdrawals and so forth. so i think there is plenty of taxes in the law as it is without some big dispute about whether what the court said is correct or not. it's up to romney now it say, what am i going to do? it's up to legal scholars and people who are court watchers and avidly toking supreme court precedent to argue out among themselves about whether john roberts last minute conversion -- >> gretchen: i'm not so sure about that, laura, because one

of the arguments that romney could have held on to would have been that president obama lied to the american people when he said that nobody's taxes would go up if you made under a certain threshold of income. that would have been a very strong thing to say, now it's a tax. >> again, i think republicans are allowing the media to frame this for them. i don't think that necessarily is a winner here. the winner here is a president who rammed through an unpopular piece of legislation against the will of most of the people. that's the fact that won the 2010 elections on. i don't think demonizing john roberts, as much as i personally am infuriated at him, demonizing roberts, talking about what the court got wrong, yes, the court got it wrong, in my view and the view of a lot of people. they got it horribly wrong. but now it's up to romney to move the ball forward down the field. what can he do now? i personally don't think the court can ipso defacto say after

the statute was passed what it was. i don't think that ever happened in supreme court precedent. for roberts to say it's a tax, he's agreeing with john roberts. i don't think romney should do that. i disagree with the conservatives saying that. >> eric: he's been a very consistent conservative vote. at the last minute, the reports are by cbs saying he changed his investment i don't wye would he do that? not necessarily judicial activism, but as people point out, judicial statesmanship. you were there, does that go on? >> last time i checked, he didn't wear to uphold the legacy or the legitimacy of the court when you are sworn in as chief justice. he swore to uphold the constitution. >> gretchen: exactly. >> and follow the constitution faithfully. if you're taking into account what god bless him, david brooks at the "new york times" might say or what the "washington post" editorial might say or

liberal professors might say, then you're not really doing your job as chief justice and i personally like him. i've known him a long time of the but i am personally concerned that the pressure did get to him and he apparently voted in conference to overturn the law on the basis of the argument that was made at the time, which was commerce clause. >> gretchen: that would be unbelievable and precedent setting beyond belief if that story ever comes out to actual lea be 100% true. >> it happened in '92 with the casey versus planned parenthood case. the year before, i clerked on the court, anthony kennedy flipped with 5-4 decision. it would haveone a long way to trim roe versus wade and instead, he changed his vote examine got the nickname flipper. now he passed the flipper baton to john roberts. >> brian: let's talk about governor christie. he's one of the governors who has to make a decision about

obamacare. he says no doubt, this is a tax. >> listen, i felt all along that it was a tax. i don't think it's exclusively a tax or penalty. it's both. there is no question in my mind about that, it's both. they're mean to go penalize people and argued at the supreme court it was a tax. of course, you argued in the campaign and forward that it wasn't, but he's now in a bind. he's in a bind as to what this is all about. but i think there is no question that it's both. it's meant to penalize people and it is a tax. there is no doubt. you have to pay for a government program. >> gretchen: at the same time, laura, check out this new poll. i don't know if you saw this. the poll finds 41% of americans are unaware that the supreme court upheld the healthcare law. i'm not personally surprised by that because i think, unfortunately, a lot of americans don't know a lot about government. our viewers do, but a lot of people don't. are you surprised by that? >> sadly, i'm not. they're more concerned with

tomkat's pending divorce than about what happened at the supreme court. look what occupies most of our time of the celebrity news, gossip, it's goofy trends, it's reality shows and unfortunately, that results in an uninformed republic. that's dangerous for the rest us. >> brian: don't mock our question of the day, which have tom cruise's birthday, he's 50. >> that's thrilling. i hope that's all working out. >> brian: good for him. let's talk about what the networks are doing. is it amazing to you that john roberts seems to be getting a whole lot of respect. >> you're kidding? >> brian: from the commentators and network rating. >> that's shock when a conservative, or someone known to be conservative, or anyone judicial conservative, is then praised for voting with liberals. now, what would have happened if a liberal justice turned around and voted with the conservatives in a 5-4 decision impacting the rest of the country? would that have been a move on the part of the liberal justice

for statesmanship and bipartisanship on the court? i mean, it's so predictable! this is what one of my very close friends likes to say, we need a vetting that takes place with potential nominees that vets for courage. and you have to have the courage to be reviled by all the fancy people in washington. we still have a number of justices on the court it looks like, who do have the courage to be hated by all the right people. >> eric: five minutes before that ruling came down, he was viewed as a right wing, the court was right wing and chief justice roberts was part of that group. then -- >> view it as right wing by whom? people who believe the constitution is a piece of silly putty that can be stretched and put on any picture they want and contort to do have a results oriented outcome that helps liberals. it depends who is saying it, right? yeah, it's a right wing to edwin, liberal law professor, larry tribe, who is apparently

throwing laurels at the feet of john roberts as well this week. that's what you get when you're a republican appointee that moves to the left on issues. sandra day o'conner. david suiter, two people loved by the left for a lot of reasons. now justice roberts is in that camp, at least for the time being. >> brian: talk about the other major story. that is the attorney general of the united states was found in contempt of congress. that happened also the same day this ruling came down. look how it was handled. page 5 of the usa today. page 3 in the "new york times," l.a. times, had it on page 8. does that surprise you? >> well, for the longest time, of course, for most of the life of this story, the media have worked to avoid covering it. and cbs initially broke the story in february of 2011 and it's got very little traction. on fox, but very little traction in major newspapers and nbc and so forth. so no, it doesn't surprise me. it's the same reason why the

declining readership and declining viewership is happening in these old dinosaur publications. >> gretchen: we're going to leave it right there. laura ingraham, have a great radio show and good 4th. >> happy independence day, everybody. >> brian: at your hotel, you will get the "new york times" and usa today. >> it will be great. >> brian: hang in there. coming up straight ahead. >> gretchen: would mardi gras be the same if it was hosted in vermont? that's the analogy possibly jindal is doing to describe what the president is trying to do with healthcare. >> eric: new york mayor cracking down on super sized soda. but dozens of hot dogs just fine [ male announcer ] this... is the at&t network.

going to stand up and say no. it makes no sense. this is a bad law. obamacare, it doesn't do what the president promised. it said he would bend the cost curve. premiums went up. he promised that he wasn't going to -- that's going to protect medicare. the chief actuary say the cuts to medicare over $500 billion are not sustainable, not realistic. the president made a lot of promises, said he wasn't gog raise taxes. this law raises taxes by over $500 billion over 20 different tax increases. it leaves over 20 million people uninsured. the president said we could keep our health plan, keep our doctors. reality is as many as 20 million people lose employer provided healthcare that. thank is bad health policy and on continue of that, you step back and you look at the bigger picture, we now are in the middle of the greatest recession since the great depression. our president has accumulated trillion dollars plus debt every year. he creates a brand-new entitlement program when we can't afford the government we've already got. this is not sustainable.

so my point is that governors have the right now with the supreme court ruling, they should stand up, we're not expanding medicaid. we're not implementing the health exchange. instead, we'll do everything we can to elect mitt romney to repeal this bad claw then replace it with more patient centered health care reform that puts patients in control, not the government. >> gretchen: listen to the chief of staff for president obama on fox news sunday. he had a message for governors. see if you like it. >> i think those governors have to answer to the people in their state. if you look at the people who are going to be eligible, these are working people who are low wages, who tonight have health care. they're exactly the kind of people most governors should want to help. >> gretchen: how do you respond to that? >> three things. one, we absolutely want to help people get coverage. we just don't want government controlled health care. mitt romney outlined plans to help people affordability. if they have coverage for preexisting eligibility, keep their coverage across state lines or across jobs.

help people facing discrimination with high risk pools. in my state of la l we've estimated -- in louisiana, we looked at this law. medicaid expansion would cost over 3 billed. it would take over 100,000 people out of private insurance, put them in a medicaid coverage. that doesn't make sense. here is the third and host important point, i think the president, his administration needs to understand what makes this country great in part is that we're not dependent on government programs. it seems the president measures success by how many people are on food stamp rolls and government run health care. that's not the american dream. we need to help people get good paying jobs. food stamp roles have grown. we can't afford this entitlement program. we've got a choice to make. we're in a point. we either go the way of europe or the american way and preserve the american dream, about opportunity, not government entitlement programs we can't

afford. >> gretchen: governor bobby jindal, making his points about how he feels about obamacare. thank you for your time. have a great 4th. >> thank you. you, too. >> gretchen: he was a liberal film maker endorsed by michael moore and loved by hollywood until he changed his mind about muslim extremists. his story is next. then, tons of jobs that no workers? sounds backwards, right? it's not. up next, sandra smith exposes why companies can't fill their high paying jobs [ male announcer ] how do you trade?

america have been radicalized in some way, receiving some kind of financing through islamic theo crassies. they teach jew hatred, treason the let's not forget that the mandate of islam is to force the world to submit to islam. so that's what's taught in mosques. so how aligned is the muslim brotherhood with the islam okay center of murphies burrough? time will tell. if an alignment is clear, on my web site, i provided the documents that i have that caused me a great deal of concern about the man in particular as a muslim brotherhood operative. i'm just wondering why hasn't the department of homeland security done anything. there are others there, a member of the board of the islamic

what it called for was to engage in a civilization jihad, which would destroy the west from the inside using its own evil hand. and many of these muslim brotherhood front organizations, especially the council on american islamic realizes, which was a co-conspirator in that trial r clearly using our media, our legal system, our academic system and so forth to try to destroy america from the inside. >> eric: last thing, at one point during your career, you were at least friends with or at least had consultations with the likes of michael moore and some of the other liberals on the left. how has that relationship changed? >> a lot of them broke up with me through text message. i have a few liberal friends that have -- their minds have changed because when i discussed this issue, i stay on point with human rights. for the most part, you know,

well, guess what? it's a tax. so who is going to pay that new tax? 1% of the population, but of that 1 horse, 75% of those people make under $120,000 a year. so that tax could hit pretty hard when they're trying to workout their finances. >> brian: the over the counter drug tax will be in. the flexible spending account cap, that's going to affect what you're spending it on. medical deduction hurdles will be present and health savings withdrawal penalties. you can have a health savings account, but if you need the money out, it will cost you. >> eric: these are new taxes. these aren't the penalty tax we're talk being if you don't participate in the mandate. new taxes, 2800 pages of the bill. we also found 2.3 excise tax on medical devices. that's going to raise $20 billion alone. some of the other ones are on the screen. >> brian: the cadillac health tax is unbelievable. for middle class households, 33% qualify for the cadillac health

training is unappreciated. >> somebody still has to fix the bridges. somebody still has to put up large buildings made out of steel. >> that's the fact, is we still need the welders. we need the engineers. we need that skilled work force that right now you'll notice that politicians in washington only push the four-year university program. guess what? this company is hiring kids straight out of high school, some of which make 15 to $20 an hour. most of their salaried jobs are starting between 50 and $100,000 a year. you can come out of a vocational school. they can not find the workers. so we explore all that in a documentary that airs on fox news channel tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern time. >> brian: is that hosted by lou dobbs? >> it is. it's fascinating. i get in-depth with my piece of there are jobs out there and you don't have to have a college education to get these. there needs to be a bit more emphasis on the skilled worker in this country. >> eric: i've seen clips of that

philadelphia, independence hall examine bring in firemen, paramedics and certainly sanitation work force clean up after these people and these public servants will have to come in and take time off of a holiday to baby-sit the occupy movement. >> brian: it's amazing how politicians misconstrued this movement because the president was talking about it. nancy pelosi is talking about it. elizabeth warren says, i'm the founder of it and trying to be the next senator from massachusetts. where are they now? >> very quiet. they're not embracing the occupiers. >> brian: why? >> i think this thing started off as maybe idealistic concern for poor people or something like that. but it's morphed into something much worse involving violence, occupy wall street encampment down at zuccotti park turned into a crime scene. they had to set autopsy special tent there where a could go at night because they were being lowested. >> brian: no one reports that. >> people were quiet about that. there is a videotape you can see where the nypd caught some of these people taking an entire bucket of human waste and pouring into an atm vestibule.

how does that help someone? this doesn't make any sense. >> brian: how do you feel about people who equate the occupy movement with the tea party? >> that's a completely false equation. go to tea party gatherings and i've spoken at two of them. they're very peaceful. they don't engage in violence. you don't see people -- when they go to the bathroom, they use actual plopping, not the streets. then these people clean up after themselves. a lot of these occupy locations turned into completely trash filled crime scene. >> brian: i know they're trying it get a point and going to philadelphia on the fourth of july, but i think it's tasteless and people associated with this movement try to win other americans over by going to philadelphia and try to destroy the family day off and celebration of america on the fourth of july? >> they do that and then if they really do speak for the 99% they claim, they do so many things that go in the opposite direction. for example, shutting down the port of oakland, which they did late last year. this led to long shoremen who

are just working class not able to get to work and on load and offload ships. how does that help working class people? this movement might have started off as an idealistic movement and it morphed into something unfortunate and not very helpful even for their own cause. >> brian: in terms of the tension that you get, like as you're a columnist, telling you to go to zuccotti park, is there an urgency amongst the media to run out and cover this movement? >> i think early on, a lot of people wanted to know who were these people, what were they thinking and i think they discredited themselves. for their purposes and cause, i think if they had behaved themselves like normal people and not engaged again in the violence and unsanitary behavior and even rapes going on in zuccotti park, people might take them seriously. now they're another national laughing stock. >> brian: we'll see what happens on the fourth of july. that will be wednesday and then later in the week. great to see you.

>> gretchen: this is already i can answer this. you want to look examine feel like a super model? yeah, you do. the answer may lie in not cooking your food. >> brian: super model and author, carol alt is here live. welcome. >> good morning, guys. how are you? >> brian: so you're still going raw. >> this has been 17 years. believe me, i tried every diet out there. and i did not get the results that i get doing this lifestyle, which is so easy to do. >> brian: you're your best advertisement. >> i don't look bad for 80. >> gretchen: i want to start with the fact you say fats can make you thin. how? >> we need essential fatty acids. they are what heals the body, recreates our skin, gives us all our energy, and keeps us warp. so if you got cold hands, ladies, you're not taking enough fats. it always amazes me when i can

look at women who have low fat diets, you can see it immediately in their skin. fats can make you thinner. >> eric: some fats? >> raw fats. >> gretchen: what would that be? >> there is cold press olive oils. there is this great blend of sea oils. there is coconut oils. if you can't eat the oil itself, do coconut chips. we have everything for everybody when it comes to eating raw. everybody. you can't give me an excuse about why you don't want to eat raw. >> gretchen: you talked about skin and you say one way in which to calm irritated skin is through lemons. >> lemons are actually alkaline in the body. i find my irritated skin comes when i'm very upset or hormones are raging and that's all inflammatory. so with the antiinflammatory effect of lemon, you run a little lemon on, it will calm your skin down. >> eric: rub lemon on your skin? >> you can drink it or eat it. it is alkalining in the body. >> brian: how does this fit in?

>> they asked me what i eat for breakfast. people are always so worried about breakfast. but in my book, we have a swapping list. you like cereal, here are raw cereals. you like doughnut holes. look at this. >> brian: where do you get something like that? >> in my book, i tell you where you can get everything. they're available on-line. i tell where you to get all my favorite things. >> brian: there is a place called dunkin' donuts. have you heard of that? >> they're not raw for sure. >> eric: i stay away from the doughnut holes. >> we have everything. there is everything in the raw world. chocolate. >> gretchen: which you say tastes unbelievable. >> you said it might tastes like wax. but in reality, commercial chocolate has wax in them. this is raw chocolate. you have to particularly ask for raw chocolate. again, we tell you in the book n our swapping list and shopping list. we have dos and don'ts and why don't do and why do, do. >> brian: off pancreas in that

jar? >> we were talk being enzymes. one of the very big things about raw food is enzymes. it digests itself easily and quickly. i was asked to bring different kinds of enzymes. you can get them in your health food store. there is all kinds of enzymes. pancreatic enzymes. there is papaya enzymes. dr. brantley has them. all kinds. >> eric: i don't see any raw meat. >> absolutely raw meat. if you're italian, you know about carpaccio. that's cured. you're allowed to eat 75 to 95% raw, so that means place for a little searing of your meat. >> gretchen: besides eating raw, you'll be in a movie. we'll hear more about that when we come back [ buzz ] off to work!
