>> yeah, by the way, who killed caylee anthony really? one year after a jury found mother casey not guilty, casey's lawyer jose baez speaks out and writes about it. he has new evidence and a possible new suspect and he's here live this hour. "fox & friends" starts just about now. >> ♪ baby i got you ♪ yeah you're in ♪ just to see you >> here it is, thompson square is here. they're rehearsing this morning and they sound fantastic, the husband and wife team will take this city by storm. i don't know if you -- you guys have seen in the last two weeks, the concerts, the attendance is unbelievable. it goes for blocks. i think this could be the biggest yet.

>> pat benetar was rocking it out last friday and today it is thompson square. welcome, everyone. hope you'll have a fantastic friday and dave briggs is sitting in for steve today. welcome to you. >> good to be here. good to see you both. >> yeah, we have a packed show and we are obviously going to the hispanic vote because we have both jose baez and geraldo rivera on the same show. they are good friends and thousands of miles away from each other. >> i didn't know that was the reason we booked them. >> it wasn't. maybe i'm too much in the political mode! >> that -- >> we are talking politics. >> that and the stealing mode all the way from tuesday, folks! >> at least i hold on to my items. >> yep, you do. and your friends. now to your headlines, it's been almost a week since severe storms slammed the midwest and mid atlantic regions and more than 500,000 homes and businesses still without power from ohio to virginia. about half of those outages actually are in west virginia. even worse, new storms have left more people in the dark there and in tennessee, kentucky and north carolina. and the heat wave scorching many

parts of the u.s. and also taking a major toll on the crops. a new report finds 56% of the continental u.s. is in a drought. there's no relief in sight with hot temperatures expected to keep up according to forecasters, there has been 3,000 heat records broken across the country. a judge setting george zimmerman's bail at $1 million. that same judge also blasting him for "manipulating the courts" even accusing him of hiding the second passport and trying to flee the country the first time he was free on bail. right now, zimmerman's attorney says there's enough money in his defense fund to post the required 10% of the bail and he fears that a bail bond company will not cough up the remaining 90% that's usually done. zimmerman charged with killing 17-year-old trayvon martin, something he says he did in self-defense. scott peterson trying to overturn his death sentence in a brand new appeal to california supreme court. he's once again claiming he didn't murder his wife laci and their unborn son in 2002. he also says he didn't get a

fair trial because of all the publicity surrounding the case. the appeal is standard procedure for california death penalty cases and could take months and even years to be resolved. a florida man enjoying fourth of july fireworks when he was shot in the face. >> wham! i get hit in the nose. i think it's a big rock. i just had maybe had my head this way, it would have gone right to my skull! >> 74-year-old richard smeraldo surviving a stray bullet that went through the brim of his baseball cap and then through his nose and chin, even more incredible, he says the bullet might have gone through his chest it had not been blocked by a silver medallion necklace that his mother got him weeks ago. police looking for the person who shot that stray bullet. what a story to tell. and those are your headlines. >> big day for the jobs numbers come out today. what did this economy do in the month of june? we'll learn in just a couple of hours and that is the backdrop

as the president heads to the rust belt. trying to get the vote in ohio and pennsylvania and it comes down to manufacturing. >> this is all about his betting on america tour. it's a two-state tour, multistop tour in ohio as well as pennsylvania and they're about a full point behind and this is good in unemployment. we're at 8.2% and they're at 7.3% and a little bit up and he hopes these job numbers refuel his stops today because if they are bad, it's going to look really -- it's going to be really hard to paint the positive picture. last -- we know yesterday on our show, the jobless claims came in slightly down at 374,000. still pretty high. they expected to add 90,000 jobs. will that unemployment number tick up, gretchen? >> not according to president obama. here's what he's saying to his constituents in these very important two swing states. >> manufacturing is starting to come back here in ohio and all across the country. some of the biggest

manufacturing jobs growth since the 1990's. a lot of folks lost their jobs but a lot of folks have retrained and now they're going back. and getting jobs in renewable energy and industries of the future but for all the progress we've made, we've still got a long way to go. >> however, when you look at some of the facts and figures, let's take a look at manufacturing jobs that have been lost under president obama in the united states, 599,000. and in ohio alone, 17,900. so those are some of the facts and figures that he may be leaving out of his stump speech. >> yeah, i mean, we're seeing those two areas there where, ok, the automobile industry saying he made the move and he wants to disseminate what he would do from mitt romney. it's up to mitt romney to define that differently. but in the big picture, blue collar workers is where he's struggling and it's up to mitt romney to make the case that he's the better man. right now, he'll roll up the sleeves in this case, short

sleeves. go out there to the public and walk into some diners and talk to some restaurants, see some important spots in ohio and pennsylvania and tell people he's one of them. and he's so far up by about seven points in pennsylvania and ohio, if you combine them. >> may come down to how they handle china. both behind the scenes are battling in terms of manufacturing. how they push china back in terms of some of the taxes they put on our products there including the auto industry itself. meanwhile, mitt romney's defender on the campaign trail is also his wife, ann romney standing up for mitt in a sitdown interview that will air this week. and she is defending her man against some tough talk from the obama campaign. >> they are going to do everything they can to destroy mitt. >> early on, we heard what their strategy was. it was kill romney. and, you know, that was their -- that was their memo that came out from their campaign and it's like not when i'm next to him you better not! >> and that's the fight that

mitt romney is going to have and ann showed it, you'll hear extended comments on this. she's out saying look, you're getting personal with my husband. you're getting personal with him last fall before he was even the nominee and when it looked grim and he was in third place right after south carolina, they were still attacking mitt romney. >> many people believe she is his secret weapon and we should see more of ann romney speaking out as we move forward towards november. in the meantime, did she reveal something important about who might be the vice presidential pick for mitt romney? well, she alluded to the fact that he could be betting some women as possible picks. let's take a look at who those women might be. you have senator kelly ayote, a newly elected senator in new hampshire. >> key state. >> in washington, you have kathy mcmorris-rogers. now, she's been prominent with regard to always standing flanking speaker of the house john boehner when they've been talking about a lot of the important issues that are facing the house.

you're familiar seeing her face during interviews as well. >> governor martinez from new mexico. i think those top three would be the main focus if you will. i think a long shot would be the two on the bottom, of course, niki haley. >> why? >> niki haley is not tremendously popular in her own state right now and i think there's too much baggage from iraq and the bush administration comes with rice. just myself. i don't know if -- >> see? i think she has the most gravitas and amazing history and record and experience. not to mention the fact that she could help with the minority vote, i think, so i think condi rice is sort of -- they might be considering her but i don't know anything. >> she was so -- saying i am not doing it. i'm not interested in it. please don't bring up my name again. one that's going to get the job, we all know is chris christie. that's who i agree -- he is not -- >> you want that steak dinner! >> i want that steak dinner and

i think it will be the most exciting thing to happen to this race since, i don't know, since ronald reagan and barack obama burst on the scenes. >> the only question about that, chris christie may not like being second in command. >> no. >> not a natural fit for him. >> in the meantime, let's talk about the dough. that's what elections fortunately or unfortunately all come down to. mitt romney has raised $100 million smack-a-roos in the month of june. it's a lot of dough. it appears he's neck and neck with president obama. remember, president obama will be the first billion dollar candidate in the united states of america. looks like mitt romney is keeping up with him. >> the record is $150 million by barack obama back in the fall. $100 million is the republican record and again, mitt outraised barack obama in may 77-60 but more importantly, there's something important going on at wrigley field and politics is playing a role. >> you may have heard the obama administration likes to punish its enemies and anyone who speaks out against them. it may extend to baseball and hurting renovations at historic

wrigley field. why? the field needs massive upgrades -- >> it's struggling. they're expected to provide about $300 million in some forms of tax breaks but they are upheld and may be not be happening at all because the cubs chairman gave a political donation that was thought to have fueled a campaign based on reverend wright and rahm emanuel, of course, is the mayor of chicago. rahm emanuel will not take the cubs' phone calls and says i will not take them today, tomorrow or any time soon. strictly because the cubs chairman made a political donation. again, it did not fuel a campaign based on reverend wright but it was thought to have done that. it squashed. it >> they should ban the mayor from the games. by the way, you've got to -- because he might have considered doing something for mitt romney, rahm emanuel, former chief of staff is stopping the cubs from getting improvements in their field and not even taking their calls? >> you have a feeling once this

story gets out more people in chicago that want the improvements will be calling rahm emanuel. >> and the people who want their team to win. they can't put money in the team if they're putting all the money into renovating the stadium. it seems like petty politics going on with the treasure there in chicago like wrigley field. >> coming up on "fox & friends", the department of justice taking texas to court for trying to suppress the vote but something sneaky just turned up in the fed's key piece of evidence. was there a secret political motive involved? >> and these buildings were supposed to save the environment but at what cost? turns out they are killing animals instead.

>> 16 minutes after the top of the hour. new controversy surrounding the department of justice's battle with texas. it has to do with the voter i.d. law there. >> house republicans claim the d.o.j. has turned to a highly partisan liberal research firm called catalyst to help block the law there with the d.o.j.

argues discriminates against hispanics. joining us now is texas congressman ted poe, member of the house judiciary committee. good to see you, sir. congressman, tell us what the problem is with the particular firm the department of justice hired. >> the department of justice is, with all their battery of lawyers and investigators, they can't find any evidence to support their lawsuit against texas. allegedly discriminating so they go to an outside group, it is a partisan group, it is a liberal group that promotes progressive ideas and they're trying to get information, evidence if we can use that phrase, in this case to use against texas in the lawsuit. they're not objective. they already have their minds made up. we're not sure if the facts or evidence they're presenting have any credibility at all. >> what this particular firm catalyst came up with, correct me if i'm wrong, i believe what he's said is it shows that the hispanic vote is the one that's not being able to get through?

>> that's what they're alleging through their investigation, that's correct and we can't trust their investigation because they have their mind made up when they have presented these documents to the justice department who will present these documents in court on monday. >> and one of your colleagues wrote a letter to the department of justice, if we do, i can read from that. "though catalyst is technically a private for profit company and it creates a clear conflict of interest." you point to a bit of a conflict regarding the bidding process. there is supposed to be a competitive bidding process when this thing is farmed out. that didn't happen here you say, correct? >> that's correct. rather than having a bid for different groups to present and help the justice department in the lawsuit, they go out and pick this one group that is their pet group that will make or will present the evidence that's already biassed against

the state of texas. and you got to remember, this is a voter i.d. law that's already been held constitutional by the supreme court. and an indiana case doesn't make any difference to the justice department. they go out and get their hired guns to try to prove something that does not exist. >> let's take a look, congressman, at the list of past clients of this firm, catalist. president obama's 2008 presidential campaign, democratic governors association, democratic senatorial campaign committee, the american civil liberties union, aclu, the morale pro choice foundation, the democratic trust so i think that's a pretty good support of what you're arguing, right? >> that's correct and even on their web site, catalist says it's our intent to promote and help progressive organizations. we call those liberals down here in texas. are they saying that the department of justice is a liberal organization that they are helping to promote? it comes across that way. they have no credibility. the judge shouldn't even listen

to what their documents are presented in court have to say. so just another example of them having their mind made up and they're trying to prove something against the state of texas that really does not exist rather than enforcing voter i.d. law and voter integrity law that they're supposed to do, they're going after the state of texas in just the opposite way. >> we just want to play their defense real quick. they say "i had previously conducted several studies using the catalist data and i found nearly all persons identified by catalist as black, white or hispanic identify themselves in the survey as of the same race projected by catalist. the greater point is why do you feel they're trying to keep voter i.d. laws from being put in place? >> well, what the catalist and the department of justice are doing is harassing the state of texas but the state of texas wants voter integrity at the polls. why would the justice department not want voter integrity? and they're supposed to really

enforce the law rather than try to find ways to not enforce the law and i say by enforcing the law, they're supposed to clear the -- clear the cases that are -- voters are dead or don't exist. >> doing the same thing in the state of floor n-- florida, it seems to be a trend. have a great weekend. >> thank you, gretchen. >> good to see you, sir. the united nations playing a major treaty so it can regulate the fire power. should the u.s. be forced to ask permission when it comes to national security? >> now your liquids may be taken after you're cleared by security. really? is ! where ? where ? it's getti away ! where is it ? it's gone. we'll find it. any day can be an adventure. that's whye got a subaru. love wherer the road takes you.

wow, there it is

>> 24 minutes after the top of the hour. couple of quick headlines for you now. the t.s.a. say it may start testing your drink after you've already cleared the security checkpoint.

critics say the move is another example of the t.s.a. taking their power too far. u.s. border patrol agents detaining a 96-year-old former governor of arizona after his pacemaker went off. he wasn't mistreated but the agents could have been more considered because of his age and condition. >> thank you very much, gretch. there are new concerns over the united nations push to regulate guns across the globe. the treaty being worked on right now by members of the general assembly. new international standards would be created to regulate the exchange of weapons between countries. it's being backed by the president but our next guest says the treaty could jeopardize national security which was why president bush was against it. joining us right now is the research fella at the heritage foundation, this is to ban small arms transfers to other nations, correct? >> small arms and everything from bullets to battleships. this is going to be a gigantic treaty covering all possible weapons. >> for example, why do you feel as though this is going to target israel and the u.s. specifically? >> the treaty is going to set

up some human rights standards supposedly to govern these transfers of weapons. if you take a look at the u.n.'s record, they're relentlessly critical of israel and relentlessly critical of the united states. they don't talk about what russia is doing in syria, what iran is doing in syria, they focus on us, israel and a few others. >> in theory, if 193 nations sign off on it and if president obama signs off on it, in theory this should reign in a lot of the illegal guns to the taliban, to the outlaw groups and to terrorist nations. >> if i thought that, i would support this treaty 100% but treaties are like laws. they're only respected by nations that actually believe in and upheld law. that's the kind of country the united states is. but it's not the kind of country that russia and china are. so if we find this treaty, we'll respect it. based on it, they're not going to respect it. >> for example, if we want to do a deal and sell to an opposition group in syria and the u.n. will

have control of that. they'll say no, we don't want you to do that. >> it's better than that. what is going to happen is if we want to sell arms to the rebels in syria, we would have to go to the syria government to arm rebels inside syria. i don't think they'll give that permission. >> do you think in a million years the russians in a similar situation will actually get permission from the government they're fighting against? >> there's no way. this kind of treaty will never restrain nations that don't respect the rule of law like russia or china. >> do you believe that somehow that will affect us here domestically with our second amendment? >> it's conceivable. the way it could work is that a lot of judges now are starting to look at international norms and international standards in order to reinterpret our laws and constitution. over time, treaties like this could encourage these judges to start restricting second amendment rights. >> i want to get your response to this. the global trade from conventional weapons remains poorly regulated.

many governments have voiced their concern. that is why they have started negotiating an arms trade treaty. seems noble. >> it seems noble. let me ask you this question, if all these governments are concerned about, why don't they raise their own standards right now? we don't need a treaty for them to raise their standards. if all these governments want to do better, why don't they go better individual snl>> do you think iran would stop funding hamas and hezbollah and all their outrageous groups that live to kill? >> if iran signed a treaty like this, that would be the best possible evidence that you could have that the treaty would have no effect at all. >> right and syria is on board with that, too. unless something happens, we're going to sign on it and things will change forever. ted, thanks for bringing it to our attention. we appreciate it. >> glad to be here. >> 28 minutes past the hour. still ahead on this show, did you know the middle class was -- middle class was all in your head? >> middle class is also an attitude. not about income. it's about knowing what's important.

maybe 120,000, 130,000. coming into the week, the estimate was 85,000, 90,000. i laugh so i won't cry. at this stage in the recovery to be quite honest with you we should be doing 250,000, 300,000 jobs. wall street is interesting because it can psych itself out and it's always about expectations. so, you know, if you're expecting 90 and you get 120, well, golly, those are great numbers but the reality of it all is these numbers will reflect an economy that's stalled. that's afraid. that's intimidated and that certainly isn't living up to its potential. >> will the unemployment mark move at all? >> i'm not sure. i'm not sure. it's a number that everyone is focused on and the ironies of all ironies. if it were to go up because more people came into the job market, i wouldn't be too -- you know, i wouldn't feel too bad about that because that would show a certain type of enthusiasm amongst americans because

but it's about your values. and being responsible. and looking after each other. >> if you're middle class, you got it all together. if you're upper class, you can't possibly have any values. >> that's the most despicable stuff that i hear from the president. it really is. it's -- >> typical, though. >> let me tell you, this is what's so disappointing about it and despicable about it. talking about people doing the right thing. imagine you go to college, you work your way through college, you get out and you meet your girlfriend there and you guys get married and you both come out of school and you're saddled with a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of debt. you work your way through the corporate system and you have a couple of kids and you sacrifice, who knows, maybe 10, 20 years later, you have made it up the ladder of success. you've made all the sacrifices. you go to church but in the president's eyes because you make a certain amount of money you don't have values? you don't have principles? that is sickening stuff right there. it's divide and conquer and it's also demonizing success. why isn't the job market moving?

you're demonizing success. >> if you ask people in a room and you took a poll and said if you work really hard in life, would you rather be middle class or upper class? what do you think the results would be? the american dream. it's not all about acquisition, but trust me, that's what you're trying to -- most people would say they'd rather be higher than lower. >> what the president is trying to do there is not only demonize success but also sort of put this victimization thing -- i mean, listen, everyone is a victim, you know, to people who aren't victims are somehow robbing you and somehow, hey, if you dropped out of high school in the 11th grade, it's not your fault. hey, you know what? if you leave your office every day at 5:00 on the nose, grab a six pack of beer and watch "american idol" all night, it's not your fault that you're not the best in the company. it's not your fault. it's that guy who stays overtime. it's that guy that works three hours late every day. that's the bad guy! this is upside down world we're living right now. >> when it comes to this cash, the world that i should be

employee. whether they have health insurance or not. >> you've heard that. here are the things we do know. >> ok. >> for companies with over 50 employees, and that's the huge difference. for companies below 50 employees, not a huge difference but it's these companies that i think may be hurting. no health care, the big one, $2,000 penalty per employee. you can see some of the other qualifications must increase medicare withholding for anyone making over 200. as for that $2,000 penalty, per employee, if you drop health care coverage, does that make you as an employer start to consider, all right, maybe it makes financial sense for me to dump that and put my employees on the health care. >> yes, it does. and i'm actually in the middle of my insurance renewal right now. and one of the concerns i have is i'm trying to balance out where this is going to go so i can frankly do good business but at the same point take care of my people. >> do you plan to keep them on your own system? >> i very much want to.

>> you may be alone. there's a new poll out from gallup that says employer health care is going down. here's the number from 55.9% in a short period of time without obamacare kicking in, we're already seeing the numbers decrease. do you think the administration's goal, long term, is to do away with employer-based health care? >> i think it's a combination of that and raising taxes for a number of other projects that, frankly, have nothing to do with health care. >> you're speaking to your colleagues, small businesses around the country, is it those businesses above 50 employees that are going to be hurt and the really small ones that are seeing tax benefits because of this bill. >> i am talking to people and everybody is concerned about whether you're over 50 or under 50 because frankly, historically, what government has done is said well, today, it's going to be 50. well, we don't have enough revenue or things happening. let's move it. let's go to 40. let's go to 30, 25.

historically that's what they've done. >> one word you hear is uncertainty and that sounds like it describes your situation. >> absolutely. >> mike paine and paine's recycling, thanks for being here. >> thank you very much. >> it's been one year since he defended the most hated woman in america. jose baez says he has new evidence and a possible new suspect. he'll tell gretchen about that next. and is it another solar failure before plants even really take off? g.e. now stopping work on a new factory.

>> it was the trial that captivated america and the verdict that stunned the nation. >> as to the charge of first degree murder, verdict as to count one, we the jury find the defendant nog so say we all, dated orlando, signed foreperson. >> casey anthony acquitted of killing her 2-year-old daughter caylee. now one year later her attorney has a book out "presumed guilty, casey anthony the inside story." jose baez joins me now. good morning. >> good morning. >> so many people will look at this and say why would this attorney write a book. why? >> after the verdict came out, i thought more people would understand the jury's decision and instead, they began to criticize it and i think there were so many facts and so many stories out there that were

incorrect and so many facts that weren't unknown to the public so it's something that after a long amount of reflection, i talked to casey about and she allowed me to do it. >> so why would the majority of the american public get this case wrong? >> well, because the jury got it right and people should try to understand that the jury was the only group of people that saw the evidence without the outside influence of the media because they were sequestered and without the pressure of the outside so casey didn't have a suitcase of money that we dropped off at the jurors' houses. they looked at this evidence, they weren't friends of hers and even though they wanted to find her guilty because she was presumed to be guilty, they found her not guilty. >> you believe in the theory that you presented in court that the baby died in the family pool and that george anthony helped

in some capacity or did it totally himself hid the body. her father. >> my personal opinion is i believe in the defense that we put forward. >> you also reveal new evidence in this book. you're saying that there was a tear in the baby's shorts. why is that significant? >> well, it's significant because it wasn't ripping from animals or decomposition, dr. henry lee rendered the opinion to me that these were rips that were consistent with someone trying to put on clothing that no longer fit this child that gave us the impression and belief that whoever dressed caylee before she was deceased or placed out where she ultimately ended up wasn't used to dressing her. a mother would know what clothes fit her child and casey certainly would have known and cindy anthony even testified those shorts no longer fit caylee. >> one thing the prosecution

nailed home, i thought especially in closing arguments is something you could never explain which is if this actually happened and a baby drowned, why would somebody put duct tape over that baby? >> it was always our position that the duct tape wasn't wrapped around caylee's skull. there were significant issues with the placement of that duct tape. we showed photographs to the jury where in one photo, the duct tape was further away and another photo, it was closer. and then all of a sudden, when it got to the medical examiners's, it was right close up against the skull. that, basically, allows for numerous conclusions and one could be that it was a staged crime scene. >> one of the most stunning things in your opening arguments of this trial is you accused george anthony, casey's father of sexually abusing this as a child. you now admit this this book that casey has severe mental health issues. is that because you think she was abused or she had those

issues so people shouldn't believe those claims. >> that's what i discuss in the book. you have to put yourself in the position. it's kind of like as i write, what came first? the chicken or the egg? is she lying about the abuse or lying because she was abused? and really, the only people that know that are, of course, casey and her father. >> why is the prosecution not charging george anthony either with that alleged crime or why wouldn't they charge him with the murder of caylee anthony? >> because i think the prosecution has had enough in this case. perhaps, they don't feel they have enough evidence against anyone. they seem to have quite a bit of enough evidence against cindy anthony for her testimony during the trial. but they chose not to charge her. so they're charging decisions, it's their responsibility. i'm not a prosecutor. i couldn't speculate. >> what's going to happen to casey anthony? she's still on probation and relatively in hiding.

she's done these video updates that you disagee with. what will happen to her in the future? >> i don't know. i hope that the public could say, ok, she's had her day in court and allow the verdict to stand. i hope that casey can find a way to mourn and get on with her life and make something of it. i hope she can contribute something and i think that she will. >> jose baez has written "presumed guilty". good to have you here. >> breaking news coming up on "fox & friends" on the big terror bust near london's olympic park. seven more arrests have happened now this morning. new details on the plot. top of the hour. and we told you about that lifeguard who was fired after saving someone from drowning. he got his job back but there is a catch. to being fox back two minutes from now.

who recently starred in a documentary promoting jihad and sharia law. three of the other suspects are believed to be brothers originally from bangladesh. all six now in police custody. britain's terror level currently ranked as substantial which means an attack is a strong possibility. intelligence officials say, as expected, there has been an increase in chatter among extremist groups ahead of the olympics. it's been almost a week since severe storms slammed the midwest and mid atlantic regions. more than 500,000 homes and businesses still without power. all the way from ohio to virginia, about half of those outages actually are in west virginia. even worse, new storms have left more people in the dark there and in tennessee, kentucky and north carolina. and the heat wave scorching many parts of the u.s. taking a major toll on crops. a new report finds that 56% of the continental u.s. is in a drought. there's no relief in sight. hot temperatures expect to keep up. according to forecasters there, have been 3,000 heat records

continue his bus tour in ohio and pennsylvania. and he's expected to comment on the economic numbers a couple of hours after they come out. yesterday, he said he "refused to turn my back on struggling communities" and continued to make his case that his economic policies are helping the country. >> governor romney's experience has been in owning companies that were called pioneers of outsourcing. that's not my phrase. pioneers of outsourcing. my experience has been in saving the american auto industry. >> on the republican side, governor mitt romney on vacation in new hampshire has said president obama has offered "no nuances on the economy." the romney campaign also pointed to a report last week that said u.s. manufacturing shrank in june. one of romney's surrogates, former minnesota governor tim pawlenty who is traveling to places near the president this week to give the romney take on the economy said the private sector is not "growing and

providing jobs and prospering in this country." >> president obama is coming through high "on a tour that's been dubbed betting on america. we should bet on the country but we shouldn't double down on barack obama. he's had his chance. it's not working. and we need to get it moving in a different direction. >> one more note on the romney campaign, the month of june was a good one for fundraising. he bought in $100 million last month, the second month in a row that he's done better than president obama in fundraising. back to you all in new york. >> ok, molly. dave is here, not clayton. >> molly, this is clayton morris if you can take camera three. this is dave briggs. i'm just kidding with you, molly. it happens all the time. >> oh, shoot! >> it's ok! >> in case you're wondering. it happens. >> it's ok, molly. >> my apologies. >> right. >> so we are going to change it for the west coast feed. they'll have no idea. >> oh, gosh! >> molly, who cares? >> i'm so sorry. >> it's fine. >> the rest of the stuff was

perfect. >> i don't mean to lessen your famous identity but it's no big deal. >> ok. >> let's talk about jobs, shall we? because president obama is on this big campaign bus trip right now. he's trying to paint a good picture of manufacturing jobs that they're coming back, the best since the 1990's is what he said yesterday. listen to this. >> manufacturing is starting to come back here in ohio and all across the country. some of the biggest manufacturing jobs growth since the 1990's. a lot of folks lost their jobs but a lot of folks have retrained and now they're going back. and getting jobs and renewable energy. and industries of the future. but for all the progress we've made, we still got a long way to go. >> and they do. and the auto industry said that will be a plus for him. look at these numbers, manufacturing jobs lost across the country which a lot of is the fact that it's cheaper to make it outside of the country. why is it that so many jobs are

leaving? they can make it cheaper and get it back here and still sell them cheaper. 599,000 lost in this country and over 17,000 lost in ohio alone. if blue collar workers are upset, they'll vote romney. >> the important thing about those facts and figures is those are the jobs that have been lost in the last 3 1/2 years under president obama so that's why some thought what he said yesterday was disingenuous. >> that will be part of the jobs numbers we look for at 8:30. how many manufacturing jobs have been created last month. that will be huge for the president when he's out there in the rust belt. ann romney standing by her man. you've heard a lot that ann romney is the one that softens up mitt romney on the campaign and makes him human. yesterday, it was clear she's not just trying to soften him up, she's standing up for her man pushing back against the personal allegions against romney. here's what she said. >> they are going to do everything they can to destroy mitt. early on, we heard what their

strategy was. it was kill romney and, you know, that was their memo that came out from their campaign. and it's like not what i'm next to him you better not. >> how dare you accuse me of working 20 hours a day, not smoking, drinking and be a good family man. good luck with that. ann romney coming out strong. i think mitt romney should take a page from that, toughen up. >> more proactive in leading the charge in the talking points instead of responding so much to what the president is putting out there. in the meantime, ann romney reveals that who are they looking actually for a v.p. selection? could it be a female again? some say right out of the gate, no way because last time around, it was sarah palin and then that didn't work out so they wouldn't go down that same path. here are some of the other women that could be considered. >> kelly ayotte from new hampshire, forest rogers, out of

washington. governor susan martinez is in there. condaleeza rice and niki haley, she's not doing that strongly in north carolina but extremely attractive candidate with a lot of upside. >> condy rice not just pushing back but squashing this thing of any hope, she wants no part of it. >> i don't find that annoying what you were just doing, by the way, the hand gestures, that did not annoy me. >> i do a lot of hand gestures. we have to on the couch, don't we? >> that's what we call them, hand gestures. >> you know "saturday night live" will have a field day with this. whenever they do skits on us, they make the hand gestures of all of us go more like this. apparently they are irritating to people even if they're small ones like this. >> we need them! >> do we want to show examples of the irritating ones? >> here's one. inverted comma. for that, special thanks to "friends." >> put aside the fact that you accidentally picked up my grandmother's ring and you accidentally proposed to rachel.

>> can i stop you just there for a second? when people do this, i don't know what that means. >> i actually never saw that episode so that is the number one most annoying gesture. let's go to number two, talk to the hand. for that, let's go to austin powers' special guest -- let's not do that. i'm sick of that. i've seen it before. let's go to number four. all right? >> what's this gesture? >> i think when -- >> when people continue to ramble. >> this. is this bla, bla, bla. i don't see that very much. >> i do. >> very few things more insulting than bla, bla, bla. people say that. you cannot be more insulting than that. >> that's the annoying part of it. >> how about this? number 7, i'm watching you. i'm watching you. let's go live now to "meet the parents." >> i'm a patient man. that's what 19 months in a vietnamese prison camp will do to you but i'll be watching you, studying your every move and if i find that you are trying to

corrupt my first born child, i will bring you down, baby! i will bring you down to china town. >> there's more than one hand gesture, though, in that little clip. it was this one as well which also made the top 20 list. >> by the way, if you don't like this, don't watch "o'reilly factor" ok? number 8 is call me. that's the last one. meanwhile, coming up straight ahead on this show -- >> it's a tax. mitt romney finally stating his position after a week loud and clear now. is it too late? is health care both a positive and negative?

>> is it a penalty or a tax? now, candidate mitt romney says it is a tax. >> the supreme court has the final word and their final word is that obamacare is a tax. so it's a tax. they decided it was constitutional. so it is a tax and it's still. -- constitutional. that's the final word. that's what it is. >> but the president's campaign still begs to differ sticking to the line that the mandate is a penalty. so who's right? joining me now, political strategist roger stone, fox news contributor reverend degraff and former national policy and outreach chair for the hispanic national bar association, carmen sagara. good morning to all three of you. let me start with you on this. some argued that mitt romney

dropped the ball in this situation. he was given a layup, sort of, to argue that president obama is putting a tax on the middle class with obamacare and he didn't come out and call it a tax until a week later. your thoughts? >> the problem is if mandated health care at the federal level is a tax, then mandated health care in massachusetts under governor romney is a tax. i think this goes back to what newt gingrich and rick santorum said during the primaries, that mitt romney is not the best candidate to prosecute the health care issue because of his own complicity in obamacare and i think this demonstrates his weakness as a candidate. >> carmen, is he overthinking it? because the american public is not looking into the minutia of every single detail about romney care or obama care. if he would have come out and said it was a tax, that would have been the headline. >> yes, i think he's overthinking it. and i think he needs to know and be -- from a strategic standpoint, he should point out this is very much obama's iraq.

how are we going to pay for this? it will be through a tax. it will be unaffordable. massachusetts health care under the romney care went up 87.5% between 2006 and 2011. translate that to a national level, we're talking about a lot of money and it's going to bankrupt the country. >> jacques? >> the real story is governor romney has got to respond to other republicans. he's at war with republicans. the fact of the matter is it's a law, whether it's a tax or penalty, it set a law and congress needs to get busy to fix it and make it operational. the issue of the day is can governor romney respond to "the wall street journal", can it respond to jack welsh, those are legitimate questions and the question is his leadership. >> all right. let me get to our next topic. we'll go to a break right now. they'll stick around for this hot topic. the department of justice taking texas to court for trying to suppress the vote but something sneaky just turned up in the

fed's key piece of evidence. was there a secret political motive? we'll explore that with the panel. and everyone needs a drink come friday but don't give one to your 2-year-old. another kiddie cocktail story? really? almost tastes like one of jack's cereals. fiber one. uh, forgot jack's cereal. [ jack ] what's for breakfast? um... try the number one! [ jack ] yeah, this is pretty good. [ male announcer ] half a day's worth of fiber. fiber one. [ jack ] yeah, this is pretty good. according to ford, the works fuel saver package could literally pay for itself.

jim twitchel is this true? yes it's true. how is this possible? proper tire inflation, by using proper grades of oil, your car runs more efficiently, saves gas. you could be doing this right now? yes i could, mike. i'm slowing you down? yes you are. my bad. the works fuel saver package. just $29.95 or less after rebate. only at your ford dealer. so, to sum up, you take care of that, you take care of these, you save a bunch of this. that works.

>> all right. now for your news by the numbers. first $40 million. that's how much the pentagon is spending on an underwater fiber optics cable that's run from gitmo, cuba, all the way to south florida. it's supposed to improve the communication link at the base. next, $20 million fortunately that's how much the obama administration is spending to

start green energy projects in africa! and finally, 100% pure bacon. that's what this burger patty is made of. you can get it at slater's 55th, the restaurant chain is located in california. gretchen? >> all right, brian, thank you. as we were telling you earlier, the justice department under scrutiny now for allegedly hiring a liberal leaning firm to help block the voter i.d. law in texas. they have had clients that include president obama's 2008 election campaign and other democratic groups. so this another example of the d.o.j. engaging in partisan politics? back now to weigh in on this is our political panel, roger stone, reverend jacques degraff and carmen sagara. let me start with you on this. when you look at their client list, it looks like it's partisan in this case. >> is anyone saying the data isn't true? no. that's full disclosure. that's what this administration

has said it's all about, full disclosure and transparency. that's what they. did the real issue is voter disenfranchisement, an issue in key battleground states as the republicans find a back door way to knock off voters. >> the republicans argue it's quite the opposite. >> those are their words but the fact of the matter is the republicans continue their war on the hispanic community first on immigration. now on voter i.d. they've continued their war on women, on health care rights and they continued their war on uninsured americans. >> let's ask somebody who is hispanic, carmen, is it a war on hispanic or republicans? >> i think it's a war on hispanics. let's remember the republicans did this, too. in 2011 under george bush, they used to strike this whole process of gathering data and they fell behind because they left that by the way side and right now, they have the largest

data base in the nation so arguably they have the best data. in fact, republican national date -- committee knows they have to update this data that they signed a contract to bring them up to speed. >> some argue that the department of justice is asking partisan by going after these states to try to keep voter i.d. laws out. >> i have to disagee with my friend, jacques. this is not about voter disenfranchise, it's about voter fraud. barack obama needs voter fraud and needs the big democratic machines to be able to deliver. you have 2,000 known nonu.s. citizens on the florida voter rolls. we know that florida was decided just a few years ago by a handful of votes so the justice department is the most political justice department since john mitchell was the attorney general and they enforced laws that they feel like enforcing and they ignore laws. if you're a texas voter, what objection could you have to bringing a state issued i.d.? why would you not want to do that? >> jacques, why would they not want to do that?

>> errors in record keeping that have been rampant throughout this country for years, we just had a special election in new york, a primary in new york where there were allegations of errors but fraud is a different issue and fraud is a legal issue and has not been found in court. >> but why -- why are people opposed to showing i.d. to vote? >> they're saying with the allegations particularly in texas indicate is that hispanics in this particular instance are less likely to have voter -- the state issued voter i.d. cards or driver's licenses. and therefore, that disparity puts them at greater risk to be challenged at the polls on election day. it has worked thus far. and because of the trend in this election, i believe that there's really a political motive in the so-called objections. >> and both sides see it as a political motive depending on which side -- >> after florida as roger has said, after florida we have to be more mindful.

[ all ] i'm with scottrade. 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.

lite but republicans love a bud lite. >> if you want to get down to it, he actually chose the bud lite. someone bought him the miller lite so i think he showed his true preference when he was able to choose. >> the devil is in the details. >> i think a lot about this stuff. >> really do, too. and the only thing more famous in a duo than that, who was right, billy martin or george steinbrenner, that is a battle to be resolved. we have the shot of the day coming up in 90 minutes. could be shot of the week and shot of the month. i can't give it away. >> you ordering a beer? i've seen that shot of the morning! >> that's coming up at 9:00 a.m. first, what was the president doing there? he was talking about manufacturing. he was talking about the middle class trying to get the votes of ohio.

he said something interesting, it's not just economics that defines the middle class. it's a mentality. listen. >> not just about income. it's about knowing what's important. and not measuring your success just based on your bank account but it's about your values. and being responsible. and looking after each other. >> so wait a minute, if you're not in the middle class, you don't have good values? >> of course not. have you seen "dynasty" and "dallas"? these people don't have it together. what is going on with these statements about, oh, if you're middle class, you know, honey, i got bad news, we're making over $250,000 and i'm going to start cheating on you. is that what he's getting at, that if you made too much money, the wheels come off the car? >> you lose sense of what's important because he said that they really know what's important in the middle class so at what point do you lose grasp of what's important in life?

i agree there is a mentality that bonds the middle class but i think plenty of people in the upper class, plenty of lovely people have that same mentality. >> don't you remember back at the prayer breakfast, they started this sort of campaign dialogue, remember, when president obama evoked back to scripture saying that, you know, jesus would have probably liked it to be more like this, you know, more like the middle class. >> don't bring up moses. moses was loaded, right? moses had a lot of money. >> carried a lot of weight, the 10 commandments. >> very good walker. >> moses had a lot of money. and all right, let me talk more about moses. you know who else had a lot of money? moses malone. he was loaded and he seemed to have it all together. >> for a guy that's never gone to confession, you seem to know a lot. >> the line is always so long. i can never get a spot. >> shall we? on fox business alert for you now. one hour from now, the monthly

48 hours. and this is one that police here have really stumbled across. no intelligence warned them of what was going on. traffic police last saturday stopped a random stop of a car on a motorway. they discovered the driver had no insurance. they let the driver go. they impounded his car. and then some hours or even days later, they did a proper search of that impounded car and found the big cache of weapons. now, a huge counterterrorism operation was launched. it took them five or six days to go back and find that driver that were released and other people they thought were part of a big terror plot. all of those people are now in custody. seven men in all. and being quizzed about what police believe was a major threat to the u.k. >> wow, very scary stuff with the olympics just around the corner. thanks so much for that update. >> all right. let's get outside to brian who has a very special guest and we continue our all american summer

worker unions dropped nearly $2 million in resorts in las vegas, florida and port owe rook -- puerto rico. last year, they spent tax free money on a golf fundraiser and in new york, the u.a.w. rang up a $9,000 tab at the museum of modern art. >> with the exclusive is liz mcdonald from the fox business network. good to see you. is the tax exempt status an issue here? >> yeah, it is. unions are nonprofits. they collect dues from their members and they don't have to pay taxes on it. what's happening instead is that unions are using those tax-free dues to spend on junkets for officials and now the officials who go on these junkets call them, you know, education council meetings or member meetings but you know what? not everybody is invited. in fact, we talked to some firemen and cops and they say you know what? they're not so happy about this.

the use of their dues for junkets they don't invited to it and we got a tstudy from the illinois policy institute that find half of union dues aren't spent on things like collective bargaining or safer work conditions or better pay. they go into things like overhead and for administrative costs and that included the u.a.w., teamsters and the afsme, guys, back to you. >> veterans forced to go to canada to find work and the president can make environmentalists happy. but first, this day in history on this day in 1979 the number one song was "ring my bell" by anita ward.

>> welcome back, everybody. with the keystone pipeline in limbo here in america, canada is luring our nation's veterans in some cases with thousands of jobs there to help build a portion of that along with other projects in canada. ted daywalt is a u.s. veteran with 21 years of service in u navy and president of vet jobs. v.f.w. owns 10% of them. it helps hire our service men and women north of the border. when did you realize that canada had a thirst for american workers? >> canada has advertised for years to bring them up but six weeks ago, we heard about this huge shortage of people in alberta. through friends, we got connected and they're looking to hire over the next couple of years over 114,000 people that they are short and veterans have those skills. they would make perfect

employees. some of the jobs you go up and work three weeks and come back. others, they want you to move up there. but it's a great place for our people to make really good money since they're paying nearly 24% over what u.s. wages are playing. >> some of that work is on the keystone pipeline, the section ok'd to start building. once it gets ok'd, there will be a lot of work, correct? >> there will probably be some on the pipeline up there for right now but the bulk of the jobs where they're desperate for work is in the industrial sector up there. and in their infrastructure trying to get everything set up because their oil fields are exploding and they're trying to get all the infrastructure in place that they can help develop their energy program. >> so your first concern is to get vets work. let's look at numbers that you live with on a daily basis. unemployment rate in 2012 for veterans as we look at this is for the nation, it's 8.2%. veterans 18 and older 17.8. on guys coming back and women coming back from war, the iraq afghan vets are 12.7%.

these are well trained candidates who know about discipline. >> yeah, that's very true and when you break those numbers down, you would find out that the bulk of the veterans who come off active duty and totally separated are finding work. not that they aren't people that have problems but they are finding work. where the real veteran unemployment problem is is in the national guard and reserve. that's what drives up that young veteran number. they've been called up so many times, a lot of people don't want to hire them. so they are pushing to looking for contract jobs or jobs that will only last for six months, a year or two years because they know they'll be recalled back to active duty. >> is it kind of sad in a way we have to send them to canada to get work? >> it is sad. but when you're out of work, you go to wherever the jobs are at. >> understood. but the fact is there should be jobs here, we could be developing oil fields here. we could be doing more with fracking here. but yet, it's canada who is realizing this is an opportunity

and put the nation first and they got to use our people! >> i totally agree with you but that's a political issue and i have no control over the politics. i'm in charge with trying to find good jobs for our veterans. and right now, there's a lot of really great jobs paying very, very well up in canada and that's where it's at. that's where we'll go. of course, we have jobs all over the united states. there's a lot of american companies hiring. but these jobs in particular offer a tremendous opportunity particularly to the members of our national guard and our reserve. they're having trouble finding work. >> thanks for the work you do on a daily basis. and for the country you've served. ted daywalt, president of vet jobs, thanks so much. >> thank you. >> all right. next on our rundown, it's been one year since he defended the most hated woman in america. so what does jose baez think of casey anthony today? hear from him and geraldo at the top of the hour. then could another t.s.a. nightmare be on the horizon? now your liquids may be taken after you've been cleared at security. put down the smoothie and walk

jewish voters declined from the high of 75% in 2008 down to around 60%, there's a real sense among the candidates, about brian, dave, and gretchen, that the jewish vote is in play. i came here to find out. you have hillary clinton heading this way, the secretary of state. she'll be here next week. then following a visit to the olympics, mitt romney will be here. you know, mitt romney and netanyahu are very close. they go back all the way to around 1970. they worked in the same firm together. they joked that netanyahu is the republican senator from israel. so there is a lot of domestic american political interest here and how he's fascinated to see what the situation is, israel an island of relative stability, even though we have this chronic problem, vis-a-vis the palestinians. but when you consider what's happening in syria, egypt, libya

and all around here, this is a place where buildings are being built, people are work. there are real problems here, too, but compared to the neighbors, israel is a relatively peaceful place right now. >> brian: you just had syria pointed out on the map. syria had a huge defection. one of their generals left and gone over it turkey. he was a confidante of assad. is it the belief inside israel that regime is just going to fall, just a matter of when? >> i think the big question mark here is where assad goes, brian. i mean, that's the problem. when you see what happened to moammar gadhafi, when you see what happened to the other dictators who have been overthrown in the arab spring, assad is not going to yield power if he doesn't have a place to go. the suggestions here in israel are that assad go to his friends in russia. let him seek asylum in russia. assad scoffs at that notion, but when you think of the symmetry

of it, putin being pals with assad, the historic strategic relationship between russia and syria, it would make all the sense in the world. but absent a safe haven, i believe that assad will fight to the end. that affection notwithstanding, there are plenty of loyal troops in the syrian army. it's a formidable force. i've seen it up close and personal. i think there will be much more bloodshed and violence and disruption and anarchy and maybe it will spread to the neighbors before assad ultimately falls as he surely will, brian. >> gretchen: okay. i want to bring you back quickly 'cause i want to talk about how important the jewish vote is here in the united states and maybe why mitt romney is actually going now over to israel, because the latest gallup poll shows this, with regard to the jewish vote, they're supporting obama 64% to mitt romney 29%. i'm frankly startled at those numbers. are you?

>> no, because you have to remember the starting point, gretchen. it was three out of four jewish voters for obama in 2008 there has been a ten-point erosion. ronald reagan, jews are traditionally democrats, ronald reagan got almost a third of the jewish vote. that was considered revolutionary. remember, it's not just the jewish vote. it's also the jewish money. he has sheldon addleson now contribute to go one of the super pacs. the money is crucial, but also when you consider ohio, battle ground state, 3% of the vote in ho had is a jewish vote n. florida, it's much higher than that. in a place like new york city or los angeles, there is a concentration of voters. there is a very heavy turnout among jewish voters. i think the feeling is that this is a crucial fight worth waging on behalf of the republicans and mitt romney is coming here is certainly evidence of that. used to joke in my day that presidents or candidates all

made the three i stop, ireland, italy and israel. so romney is coming back to israel as a candidate for the presidency, and the vote, the numbers look disproportionate, but they are definitely significant. >> brian: the president hasn't been there as president. >> dave: we want to ask you about a case you study extensively and covered, the casey anthony case. jose ba. >> came would you tell a new book and sat down with gretchen. i want to get your reaction to the things he said this morning. >> that the public could say, okay. she's had her day in court and allow the verdict to stand. i hope that cey can find a way to mourn and get on with her life and make something of it. i hope that she could contribute something and i have a feeling she will. >> recent poll out of new york post showed her the most hated woman in america. what do you make of the book, all the accusation in there and does she have a chance to

rehabilitate herself in the court of public opinion? >> casey anthony has a long road to hoe, let's face it, david. she is so revealed by so many people who still believe, despite the acquittal, she had something to do with the death of her child. so i think what jose is suggesting, though, is that let's put aside the hatred. let's try to be compassionate, even for this reviled figure, and also one of the things i've always found curious is how many people hated the attorney for doing his job and winning the acquittal against what was ultimately a very weak case by the prosecution. the defense of casey anthony was perfectly litigated. the prosecution and the prosecutor writing a best selling book and being extolled as hero, they blew this case and they should be really regarded as not incompetent, but certainly people who didn't do a

very good job in prosecuting this case. so jose wants to go on with his life as an attorney and he is a friend of mine. and i'm proud to say that. casey anthony, she will be forever troubled, i'm sure. she's led accloysered life. she's been sequestered, hidden away. people are competing for her attention, producers and others. i almost said cults, i don't know that. but there was a great war on now to get her to commercially commit to a project, a book, some other kind of project. jose has nothing to do with that. but casey anthony will forever be remembered and rightly so as the mom who presided over the death of that sweet two-year-old, but who was acquitted because the state couldn't proven it. >> brian: we'll watch think weekend. >> gretchen: have a safe trip back. >> okay. thank you. >> gretchen: three days and counting before the f.b.i. starts shutting down people's internet connections. so what can do you about it?

good thing we have clayton morris standing by 'cause he doesn't mind when i call haim tech nerd. he'll help us out. >> brian: he embraces it. >> dave: brand-new green buildings supposed to help save the environment are actually killing animals instead. >> brian: bye, bird.

>> gretchen: 15 minutes after the top of the hour. three days examine counting before the f.b.i. might shut down your internet connection. the agency says it's doing you a favor. our own clayton morris is here to explain the agency's reasoning. so what happened about a year ago? >> about a year ago, these hackers, cyber terrorists, i'll call them, decided they want to run this advertising scam. they were going to put malicious software on pc's around the world. nearly a million folks in the us husband their computers inundated with this software. the f.b.i. stepped in, stopped that from happening, made these arrests and kept you, your internet up and running for the last year. we should be thanking the f.b.i. for what they did as they put these servers in at the last second to keep you on-line. >> gretchen: but now it's only

gog work for a year, right? >> right. >> gretchen: for people who did not bother to update their pc's, what's going to happen? >> the bottom line is, in three days on monday, if you haven't updated your software, you could be off line. you could literally not be able to get on the internet. then you'll be in a world of hurt because then you'll have to call your local internet service provider and they'll have to walk you through step by step to try to get this taken care of and you won't have the internet to be able to do it. so you should -- we have a couple of web sites we'll feature here. very simple to do. go to these web sites, click through the software and update your softwear. >> gretchen: who does it affect? >> near lea 100,000 americans and people around the world who didn't update their software a year ago. so basically it's people with older pc's, people with older software. when you get those little updates that pop up on your screens that say, hey, do you want to update your security? most people click no, that's a mistake. so this morning, you should -- >> gretchen: that's what i do. >> i know, because it's

annoying. you get all these things. >> gretchen: and i call you up to help me. >> if you tonight, i have to figure out what happened with all these wires hanging out. >> gretchen: i don't have any wires now because i'm going wireless. >> there you go. you need to make sure your software is updated because this is the future of cyber attacks and these are real threats. we keep thinking they're not going to be a real problem. when we have electrical grids that get shut town, when we have entire communities and water supply issues because there are computers that run these main frames get shut down, these are real issues. the f.b.i. says we did you a favor, so update your software. >> gretchen: you can go to dcwg.org, or just go to fox news.com and clayton and all the other folk also help you out. great to see you. up next, this scary scene on the highway. frightened all those drivers in stand still traffic. crashes like that, nothing new for these guys.

the calcium they take because they don't take it with food. switch to citracal maximum plus d. it's the only calcium supplement that can be taken with or without food. that's why my doctor recommends citracal maximum. it's all about absorption. 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.

we're excited about it this weekend. >> dave: you will see support your troops on all the tires. matt, if you would, talk about the relationship between the military and nascar and why it works so well and has for so many years. >> yeah. i think especially over the years nascar has done a great job of starting a nascar foundation, supporting a lot of different charities and different causes all over the place. but it's neat to seat different companies involved in nascar. like goodyear taking an initiative to start this program to support our troops. so the money goes directly to help all the active military vets serving all around the world. so it's neat to be part of these programs when we can do this and goodyear.com, you can find out all about it. you can bid on our raciest tires we'll autograph after the race and different items. also if your car or truck needs tires, they're donating a dollar for every tire you buy. >> dave: we'll link that web site to our web site. matt, i have to ask but the news

you made. announcing you will not be back with fenway roush next year. where are you going? >> hopefully we'll be able to make an announcement sooner than later. it's been a busy couple weeks. i have a i've had a busy few weeks. really looking forward to the rest of the season. right now we're leading the points. we've been running really great. hopefully we can keep it threw and challenge for a championship this year. >> dave: trevor, the owner of daytona made some news, saying he is suggesting mandatory cautions, kind of like half time breaks at a football game. jeff gordon says he's open it that idea. do you think is good for nascar to increase the excitement? >> i don't really have an opinion on it one way or the other. either way we've got to go 400 miles and you got to be there at the end. so i don't think that will really change the outcome too much at the end of the race. but we've always had competition cautions at certain tracks where they have new pavement or things

like that. so it's not the first time it's been talked about. i'm not sure how i feel about a half time break, but we'll see what they come up with and we'll go racing and the fastest guy is going to win. the guy with the best strategy and the best pit stop, fastest car. it still comes down to competition and being the fastest guy out there on any given day. >> dave: who do you like tomorrow night? >> hopefully the 21 car. he's going to say 17. we can pretty much pick ourselves 'cause that's what we want to see happen. >> dave: good luck to you both. we will link that web site to support your troops, up to 250 grand copping from goodyear. good luck. >> thank you. >> dave: up next, we're expecting some breaking news on the economy. moments from now, brand-new jobless report for month of june. but president obama says don't worry, the jobs are back. >> manufacturing starting to come back here in ohio and all across the country. some of the biggest

>> gretchen: fox business alert. monthly job numbers out. june unemployment remains 8.2%. that's unchanged from may. employers added 80,000 jobs last month. the expectation was 90,000. so it's below the expectation. i believe last week was -- >> brian: 69,000. >> gretchen: it was less last month. so may was even more dismal. >> brian: they thought we would get 90,000. now john roberts joins us filling in for bret baier this week and helping us out now. your reaction to those numbers? >> brian, it's not good for the president. he was hoping for at least 90,000. there was some indication it might even be more than 100,000

because of that private sector report that came out yesterday. 80,000. only 10,000 more than in the month of may. that's not good, particularly when you were traveling through battle ground states like ohio and pennsylvania touting your economic record. so as desi arnaz said, he's got explaining to do. but at the same time, very, very meager job creation for the month of june. it will be a difficult day for him because it will allow mitt romney to come out full force and say, see? his economic plan is not working. you got to try mine. >> gretchen: what we've been seeing from the president, just yesterday we saw him talking about manufacturing jobs and that they were at the highest level since the late 1990s. i want to you listen to this and get your comments. >> manufacturing starting to come back here in ohio and all across the country. some of the biggest manufacturing job growth since the 1990s. a lot of folks lost their jobs,

but a lot of folks have retrained and now they're going back and getting jobs and renewable energy and industries of the future. but for all the progress we've made, we've still got a long way to go. >> gretchen: people are wondering whether or not the president is telling the truth, john, because if you look at the facts and figures, i want to take a look at the jobs lost. manufacturing jobs lost under president obama. in the united states, almost 600,000. in ohio, 17,900. so is this an example of even with these dismal job numbers today, the president can say whatever he wants? >> you have to look at the way that he says it. he says the jobs are coming back, people are retraining, they're going into the jobs of the future. they're going into green jobs and that is true. i did a couple of stories in germantown, wisconsin and out west in michigan a couple high-tech companies who could not find people to fill the positions that they had because those people did not have the skills to do it. so they're digging deep into either the community colleges,

technical programs or going to technical colleges, people who have engineering degrees trying to get them into those jobs. so the jobs are beginning to shift, but overall still, as you pointed out, there has been a net loss of jobs in manufacturing and you look at the report that came out earlier this week, that manufacturing in america has contracted for the first time in three years and there is definitely some difficulty in that sector of the economy. >> brian: it's not so much what you say, it's how you say it. the president sounds like -- he's in front of the people in ohio who are pretty much supporters and you walk away think, wow, i guess he's right. you and look at the statistics and you say equity be. it's up to mitt romney to define that in more specifically. now, you're filling in for chris wallace. you did bret baier during the week and playing chris wallace on the weekend. just be yourself. debbie wasserman-schultz will be your guest and reince previn.

>> the repeal of the president's health care act on wednesday. all things 2012, in particular, how much harm did mitt romney do himself with that waffling back and forth on whether the individual mandate is a tax or a penalty. >> gretchen: all right. i like your tie today, too. you're jumping out of the screen. >> i appreciate that, gretchen. and coming from such a dapper dresser as yourself, i'll take this as a compliment. >> gretchen: good luck on sunday. >> dave: thank you. >> gretchen: let's get some of your headlines. a judge setting george zimmerman's bail at $1 million. that same judge also blasting him for, quote, manipulating the court. even accusing him of hiding the second passport and trying to flee the country the first time he was free on bail. right now zimmerman's attorney says there is enough money in his defense fund to post the required 10% of the bail. he fears a bail bond company will not cough up the remaining 90% as is usually done. zimmerman charged with killing

17-year-old trayvon martin, something he says he did in self-defense. >> brian: california could soon become a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants. lawmakers considering a bill which would ban local authorities from turning over illegal immigrant force deportation. that will straighten out their economy. the only exception will be illegals with serious felony convictions. i should say serious. critics say the measure would pose serious threats to innocent citizens. >> dave: renovations at chicago's wrigley field being stalled over politics. the cubs seeking millions of dollars from the city to help fix the stadium. the problem is rahm emanuel, former chief of staff for the president, is refuse to go negotiate or even speak with the team all because the patriarch of the family that owns them was reportedly going to pay for a political ad attacking president obama. as you may know, emmanuel, a personal friend of the president, used to be his chief

of staff. ricketts is the cubs' chairman and saying it's not fair to punish fans over a personal issue and denies his father ever considered funding that attack, which was based on reverend wright. >> gretchen: heart stopping video out of dallas, texas. come it your screen. watch this van plow into all those cars, slams into a line of cars wattage highway exit ramp. the crash causing a five-car pileup. two people hospitalized. the van operated by the city's transit department. the driver on paid leave while investigators trio figure out why he lost control. in that situation, either no brakes or distracted driving. >> dave: texting while driving is usual. >> gretchen: coming up next, we told you about the lifeguard. remember the one who was fired after saving somebody from drowning? he got his job back, but now there is a catch. >> brian: then we just told you unemployment remains at 8.2%. what does that mean for the economy? we're going to ask eric bolling next. first, let's go out to clayton to see what he has coming up

over the weekend. single handedly books all four hours. >> i did. that's a benefit i bring to you. coming up this weekend on "fox & friends," we're going to dive into dealing with credit. did you know if you apply for a credit card and then get rejected that, can still adversely affect your credit? we'll dive into this seven credit mistakes that even smart people like dave briggs make on a regular basis. also this weekend, you get those church bulletins? restaurant now is being investigated by one state for giving away some free meals at their restaurant when you walk in with that church bulletin. we'll tell what you an atheist group is fired up about. plus more music this morning. thompson square is here. they'll perform one of my favorite songs. right now they're going to perform "are you going to kiss me or not"? i've been waiting. take it away. ♪ talking about everything under

been offered his job back. do you know what he said? no thanks. to mass lopez says the company's change of heart is too little, too late. some of the guards who quit in protest with him did take their jobs back. >> brian: we just told but this fox business alert. national unemployment rate unchanged. 8.2% coming out of june. employers only added 80,000 jobs last month, up slightly from the month above, which was 69,000. economists were expecting 90,000 to be created. eric bolling is diving into these numbers to tell us what it means for our economy. first off, the number unchanged again. so 8.2%. >> the headline number, 8.2%. a lot of things in there. i'm digging through. we were expecting 90,000 jobs on a consensus, the economy created only 80,000 jobs. you want an economy that creates 150,000, 200,000. that's healthy economy. so we're subpar. last month we were supposed to -- the estimate was 158,000.

we only got 69,000 last month. so two months in a row, subpar job creation. 8.2%. 12.7 million people out of work. 8.2 million people are partially employed. in other words, they're taking part-time jobs not because they want to, but because they had to. that's a record. very important. no new construction jobs whatsoever. that's a big problem 'cause the housing industry is kind of the engine for growth in america. >> brian: when it collapsed, we collapsed. >> it collapse, we collapse and it hadn't rebounded yet. when the construction jobs spark up, that means sales are going. unfortunately, no new construction jobs. you break it down by race, 14.4% unemployment rate among blacks and that's an uptick on their number there. hispanics, 11% stayed the same. this one, teens unemployed at 23.7%. not a lot of good news in the jobs report. >> brian: the president always talks about he's in front of the pennsylvania, ohio, have

unemployment numbers slightly below the national average. without those two states he doesn't win, neither does romney. he's talking to two states who haven't seen a growth u about due to fracking in oil. the auto industry not collapsing he helps. >> john kasich is doing a great job. he's sparking businesses. i think ohio is benefiting from that, as well as the recovery in auto sales, no doubt. in pennsylvania, you're right. this whole northeast corridor who is hurting for revenues needs to embrace fracking. we heard a story the other day about a new york state official who pressed the wrong button and allowed fracking to go through by accident, when she was trying to uphold fracking. there is a lot of money, a lot of state revenue, tax revenue that will come to the state through fracking. new york, pennsylvania, some of the east coast states could be helped by fracking. >> brian: he should be in north dakota in front of all those facilities that are fracking

where unemployment is less than 3%, but he doesn't because i guess it goes against his environmentalists. i was disappointed to see report, seven leading economists, they said unemployment will stay at this level really for the next few years. >> that's big thing, brian. normal fully employed economy is somewhere between 5 and 6%. economists said it will stay above 6% for the next four or five years. not a good sign. even worse, there are only four more reports before the election. if the economy doesn't turn around and start creating job, president obama will have a hard time getting relie detectorred with these kind of jobs numbers. >> brian: mitt romney will make it clear what he'll do different. >> i think he needs to switch the focus from healthcare and get back on this. the message right now in america is jobs. where are the jobs? they're not coming and do you really want four more years of 8.2% -- 12 1/2 people out of work. >> brian: we'll watch you on "the five." >> we'll try and get it in there. >> brian: how cool is it not to

be with three other people. let's go outside. when we come back, thompson square performs its latest single "glass." first, let's check in with martha mccallum who also has a wonderful singing voice. >> i'm going to perform after this. thank you very much, brian. coming up on "america's newsroom" a great line - up. mike huckabee is here, bobby jindal, tim pawlenty. we'll talk about the jobs numbers. and what they're doing to ramp up the romney campaign right now. interesting inside stuff there. also middle class is an attitude, says the president. what does that mean? we're going to join you right here at the top of the hour on "america's newsroom." we'll see you then. this is our pool. ♪ our fireworks. ♪ and our slip and slide. you have your idea of summer fun, and we have ours. now during the summer event

[ cheers and applause ] >> gretchen: have a fantastic weekend. see you monday. we start with this fox news alert this morning because there is now further proof that the economy continues to struggle as we get another disappointing jobs report that has just come across the wires this morning and here are the numbers, folks. employers added only 80,000 jobs in this country over the course of the month of june. that is the third straight

month that we've seen a very weak hiring numbers. that is not a good trend. good morning on that note, everybody. good to see you this morning in "america's newsroom." welcome. rick: i'm rick folbaum in for bill. this troubling report not only affecting the confidence of americans all over the country but you bet you will get a strong reaction from the white house and presumptive presidential candidate mitt romney. martha: you can bet it will. these weak numbers as we look at them, there is no budging in that big number you see on your screen. that is the unemployment rate in the united states of america right now, stalled at 8.2%. charles payne is with the fox business network. good morning, charles. >> good morning. martha: good to see you this morning. your take on these numbers? >> you really set it all. we came into the week anticipating a number around 90,000. yesterday there was some extra enthusiasm it could be a little better because of the report adp put out but
