6:00 am
>> alisyn: hi guys. >> we back together. >> when ali left we got this massive heat waive. 140-degree record. all over the country. at least 46 people we know of this morning have died in the last two weeks alone. st. louis, milwaukee, minneapolis, chicago. all experiencing three diagnosed temperature readings for days on end. >> making matters worse. nearly half a million people in west virginia, virginia, maryland, and ohio still without power and airconditioning over the last week's storms. >> so for more on this and where the heat wave is headed next, let's go to fox news chief meteorologist rick reichmuth. hey, rick. >> thank you very much. good to be back. can you imagine not an air conditioner this kind of heat? [sigh] >> where do you go? >> not cooling down at night and that's causing big problems. 89, at least it feels like 89 degrees in st. louis right
6:01 am
now and 87 in chicago. it's 5:00 in the morning there. so you are not cooling down at night. you are not getting any relief there. big problems. there is good news. it is about to change a little bit. but we have to get through one to two more days here across the plains and into the east. 25 states dealing with some sort of heat advisories or heat warnings. going to feel like 115 for a lot of people. see that stretch across the ohio valley and spreading in towards parts of the mid-atlantic and towards the east it pushes off towards the east a little bit. there is relief unfortunately that comes with severe weather. we will take it if it drops those temps a little bit. yellow includes big cities like baltimore, philadelphia, new york, and up towards hartford, connecticut the threat for severe weather today. likely some very strong winds will be the worst of it we saw what those winds can do with that big directional event we had last week in d.c. we could be talking about nasty weather here. the fortunate side is behind that there is cooler air
6:02 am
moving. in tomorrow you see the temps there towards chicago, down to around 83. same with cleveland. and we are still warm here across areas a little bit in towards ohio valley. by the time we get towards the day on monday. that should say monday there. sorry about that going to be cooling down for a lot of people. temps back into the 80's, back where we should be, out across the west. there is improvement coming but we have got to get to the day on monday and then a big imprvment. in fact, much of the next week for the eastern part of the country is looking absolutely beautiful so we'll take it it be careful for the rest of this weekend. guys? >> movie theater. i don't know about you guys. >> too hot out, man. >> double feature? >> can't take a baby out 105. >> no, you cannot. >> let's talk some politics this morning. because candidates out on the campaign trail, president obama out in pennsylvania and ohio trying to drive home this message that the economy, while slow, is getting better. this comes, of course, on the heels of those brutal jobs numbers that we saw on friday. mitt romney called it a punch
6:03 am
in the gutted or a kick in the gut, i think. >> dave: kick. >> clayton: president obama said. this another foot analogy. >> we learned this morning that economy created 84,000 new jobs last month. that means overall businesses have created 4.4 million new jobs over the past 28 months, including 500,000 new manufacturing jobs. [ applause ] >> that's a step in the right direction. >> alisyn: the numbers are the same, 84,000 only jobs created. but the spin is quite different. if you heard mitt romney on the campaign trail. he does not think it is a step in the right direction. here is what he had to say. >> it is another kick in the gut to middle class families. this is a time for america to choose whether they want more of the same whether unemployment above 8% month after month is satisfactory or
6:04 am
not. t doesn't have to be this way. america can do better. and this kick in the gut has got to end. >> reading the headlines across the country on friday, you would be hard-pressed to find anyone to call it a step in the right direction. every economist, every outlet, liberal conservative calling these weak job numbers showing a slowing economy. and not one that's beginning to kick into gear. >> and perhaps a bellwether of that. forget the headlines, look at wall street yesterday plummeting do you -- dow yesterday. wall street plunged 100 points in a few short hours. you look at these numbers and dive in how these break down socioeconomically, 8% 41 consecutive months is that unemployment rate since 2000. the real number that everyone is looking at though is the long-term unemployed. these are the people who haven't been able to find work for two years. a million folks who have just basically given up looking. >> and, of course,last month all sorts of graduates left college and were -- had high
6:05 am
hopes of finding jobs but college grads with jobs have dropped 406,000 last month. >> which is really surprising to me. we heard from companies like home depot hiring tens of thousands of individuals. we are hiring. come out and get a job. college grads not being able to find work. >> there are pockets where things are looking up. there are some cities that have a lower unemployment rate than the national average. >> i'm actually in the rust belt where the president has been. >> absolutely. >> some people are looking for entry-level jobs. nationally the scene is still bleak. >> 18 to 27-year-olds the unemployment rate is just under 17%. that sector of americans really struggling. if you need some more numbers, we have them. the black unemployment rate up from 13.6 to 14.4% from may to june. >> alisyn: that's sad news. >> dave: that war on women we don't hear so much about these days maybe this is why it has increased.
6:06 am
women still have lost jobs in this latest recession. have not regained all those lost. >> clayton: to your point about some of the silver lipping perhaps somewhere is that the wages are up. that was one silver lining. >> dave: you are right. >> clayton: wages and hours worked are up. president's approval in the rust belt states like ohio and swing states haven't been as hard hit. 8 point lead mitt romney swing states. some silver lining for the president. >> dave: stephan haze has been talking about this all week. maybe the numbers are baked in because the president hasn't seen his approval rating or seen his tracking number go down despite terrible economic news three months in a row now. are people just used to it? is it baked in? do they just accept where this economy is? we hope not. we hope that we don't accept these numbers regardless of the politics of it. you hope people don't accept this as a new norm. >> do they think that mitt
6:07 am
romney could do better? >> that's the big question. >> we're going to explore all of that this morning. let us know what you think. find us on twitter. rest of your headlines. a lot more to tell you '. there has been a drone strike in northwestern pakistan and killed at least 15 suspected taliban militants. pakistani intelligence says this happens in a village in north waziristan. four missiles fired at compound believed to be owned by taliban commander. this comes as tension grows over those american drone strikes in the country. it's the first strike since pakistan reopened nato supply routes this past week. george zimmerman is a free man yet again this morning. here he is leaving a florida jail after posting the required 10 pierce of his $1 million bond. is he now staying in a temporary safe house until he finds a more permanent place to live. he has also hired a security team using donations pouring into his defense fund online. unlike the last time zimmerman went free on bail, is he now forbidden from leaving seminole county without permission. is he also not allowed to have a bank account or step foot on
6:08 am
airport property. zimmerman awaiting trial for the shooting death of travon martin, something he claims he he did in self-defense. you will remember it was bailed out by the federal government in 2008 and now aig wants more money. the insurance giant says in 1991 it overpaid its taxes and the interest adds up to $30 million. a.i.g. now suing for the money saying the statute of limitations is about to run out. the company's 182 and a half billion-dollar bailout was one of the largest in u.s. history. a.i.g. has reportedly repaid loans from bailout. >> new jersey governor chris christie once again getting heated with a heckler. [shouting] >> you are a real big guy. >> shooting your mouth off. shooting your mouth off and keep walking away. keep walking. keep walking. >> alisyn: first of all why is tmz now following politicians. aren't celebrities their bread and but ther? >> for this exact reason.
6:09 am
>> alisyn: the governor getting ice cream with his family at the jersey shore when a passer by started heckling him about his education policy. that's when the governor went off. of course christie does have a bit of a reputation for this kind of thick. remember, he called a reporter an idiot last week after the reporter asked a question that he said was not on topic. >> >> clayton: the heckler lied out to him and said protect teachers. do something for teachers. then they got in this back and forth. of course is he holding the ice cream cone the entire time and he didn't drop it i thought he was going to throw the ice cream. >> dave: it is a thin line to walk fighting with an ice cream cone in your hand. >> clayton: down plays it. let's talk about the beach. you go to the beach a lot, dave. >> dave: all the time. a couple times a week, yes. >> clayton: do you put her in any creative outfits or onesies. is it pay kinney type yet new
6:10 am
line of onesies out go to the department stores. bikini onesies that are causing quite a bit of outrage among people. they are thinking this is the sexualization youngsters for 18 months old o. not 5 months old. >> alisyn: she can look forward to that. >> whole lot of these things. one of the examples. >> here is the question. some parents are outraged. some say no big deal. is this the oversexualization of young girls? we have seen this topic crop up with tiaras and toddlers and all sorts of, you know, all the girls and beauty pageants. this is all happening way too young. are you forcing people to do a double take of your infant when they think that they are wearing a bikini or is this just a cute onesie? >> okay. my take on this, no. it just doesn't bother me. when i look at that it's not as if it's passing off your child as a bikini body. it's kind of cute to me. now, if it had a tattoo maybe
6:11 am
right above the bikini. >> alisyn: a tramp star? >> dave: right. well, i wasn't going there. >> clayton: a butterfly. >> dave: i was going on the front but thank you for the image. difficult dave this parent not overly offended some are furious about this. >> clayton: what does t say about the parents? it's more a statement about the parents than it is the sexualization of the kids. >> dave: how you view that? >> clayton: somebody had to have gone to the store to purchase that. >> alisyn: you get these as gag gifts as you know because you also have a little girl. you get onesies as gag gifts. >> clayton: it is funny to decorate them as a joke. >> alisyn: your child? >> clayton: yeah. >> dave: pea pod in halloween. >> alisyn: getting worked up in a lather about this. it does make your child the butt of a joke. if you don't mind strolling around with your child as the butt of your joke because you are doing something silly,
6:12 am
that is what has some patients outraged. let us know what you think. >> dave: tell us on ff weekend on twitter how you feel about that joe biden has an idea about how to create jobs. >> somehow that those so-called job creators will make everything okay for the rest of us. we believe that the way to build this country is the way we always have, from the middle out. >> so-called job creators. is the v.p. right? we'll explore that next. >> and a pretty nice paycheck for only one day's work. the now former ceo of duke energy walking away $44 million richer. >> that's a day at the office for him. building pass, corporate card, verizon 4g lte phone.

6:15 am
>> alisyn: sign that the economy is slowing and where will the unemployment rate be headed into the november election? joining us now is economist and professor at the university of maryland is peter reissy. >> good morning. >> 84,000 jobs created. does that mean that the job is slowing or is that a blip. >> the economy is slowing. we have had several bad months. something like 360,000 jobs a month to bring unemployment
6:16 am
down at 6% over three years. it was an abysmal report. it's just a terrible situation. >> clayton: no president has been reelected with an approval rating at this stage. these jobs numbers at this stage. by all accounts, according to economists, the president would need to add about a quarter of a million jobs per month up until election day to hit that number. to get that kind of growth going. do you think that's possible next month, 250,000 jobs created possible? >> oh, it's possible. but i think it's unlikely, reality we'll need more than that. because people who have been sitting down, you know, the participation rate is very low will come back. i wouldn't count on 8% unemployment from keeping mr. obama from a second term it. mr. romney has failed to provide americans with an alternative they can grasp, they can cling to. that's why obama is doing so well where it counts. ohio, western pennsylvania, and florida. >> alisyn: peter, let's talk about something that the vice president said this week. yesterday i believe that it's
6:17 am
the opposite sort of the trickle down theory. he talked about how you have to grow out from the middle. let's listen. >> somehow, that those so-called job creators will make everything okay for the rest of us. we believe that the way to build this country is the way we always have, from the middle out. that's how it's always been done. and the way to do that is invest in the things that have always made our economy grow. innovation, research, development, infrastructure, and education. >> alisyn: okay. so from the middle out. does that make sense? >> his statement made absolutely no sense at all. you know, think of it as a cold wintry night, the children are scared. it's a terrible storm outside. so you read them alice in wonderland. we just got alice in wonderland from this guy. what he is really talking about that's code for let's tax the wealthy so we can spend more money on, quote, middle class government jobs. that's all that was about. i think it was a terrible
6:18 am
statement. it just illustrates why he is vice president. he will never get any traction on his own. >> clayton: nancy pelosi and others have argued we tried these tax cuts for the wealthy. that didn't work at the latter end of the bush administration that's what got us into this mess. that's what democrats argue. >> if we are going to take what doesn't work as a reason to get rid of people then it's time to get rid of barack obama. in 2007, the year before the crisis, we had a budget deficit of 162 billion. ms. pelosi was elected speaker of the house and since then the budget deficit has bloomed up to 1.3 trillion. 8 times as much. we have had lots of stimulus, lots of spending. we have had democrats have gotten what they wanted. we still have high unemployment and young people graduating college. high students simply can't get good jobs. they have failed. by her standard, they all should go. >> alisyn: peter morici,
6:19 am
economist from the university of maryland. good to see you. >> take care. >> clayton: at war apparently not amount the same amount of pay as those who stay at home. we will talk to a retired army captain about this pay discrepancy in the military next. >> alisyn: not your typical bandits, these bear cubs wanted for breaking into more than a dozen cars.

6:23 am
office. comes shortly after a bid for the presidential nomination last year. dave? >> dave: pentagon review into military compensation uncovers a significant pay discrepancy. members of the national guard and reserves who he worked and trained at military bases on the weekend are being paid double the amount of their counterparts who are serving in wars. the troubling revelation revealed in a study this week has prompted calls for a change that would make military pay equal across the board. sean parnell retired captain. outlaw platoon. he joins us live from pittsburgh. good to see you, sir. >> good to be back, dave. thanks for having me. >> let's break down this
6:24 am
discrepancy in pay. first, for reservists or guard members. here is how it goes. $407 for a day of weekend duty, which is interesting because it's only 269 on active duty. even less than the weekend number is deployed to war in, say, afghanistan. how do you fix this and what's the problem with the discrepancy? >> okay so the president of the united states every four years orders review of military compensation. it basically looks at the active duty pay system. reserve pay system. v.a., veterans benefits. look he at the total spectrum. one of the things they found was this large pay discrepancy between reserve component troops and counterparts serving in iraq and afghanistan. what they found was basically that reserve component soldiers make double the amount on their weekend training here in the states than their counterparts do in iraq and afghanistan. what one of the recommendations of this report
6:25 am
is is to bring reserve pay here in the united states online with the military across the board. simplifies things and so, you know, one of the fixes is if you bring that pay online with everybody else, you are talking about the reserve component soldiers here in the united states. and guard soldiers here in the united states. taking anywhere from 7% to 38% pay cut to make that happen. >> dave: right. and therein lies my question. to make them come in line. do you, a, bring down the number for weekend national guard training or bring up the number that active duty service members are being paid in iraq or afghanistan? which one happens? >> well, i think what you have got to do for me, if it were me making the decision, i would sit on this report. nobody has to act on this report. it's basically a recommendation to our military leaders in the pentagon right now. and for me, i don't want to see anybody take a cut in pay. this pay system has been in place for the past 200 years, sincing the founding of our
6:26 am
constitutional republic. yeah, there is a pretty big discrepancy in pay. reserve soldiers are making more than their counterparts in iraq and afghanistan. that doesn't seem right. but t also doesn't seem right to be cutting pay while our country is at war. for me making the decisions, i would just table it and leave t for later. >> of course you know about the $500 billion in defense cuts that likely means someone is going to take a hair cut. my question is conceptually why did the system get put in place? what was the moat vase behind it? there had to be a reason that someone in the pentagon said we need to pay more money to these folks training for the guard than the active service members. >> right. the counter argument is that reserve soldiers work five days a week and theoretically a 9 to 5 job and then they drill on saturday and sunday on the weekends. and then they work another five days after that so really the national guard and reserve commitment asks you for 12 days of straight work a month. and then you have got this constant cloud of deployment looming over your head all the time. they are not getting paid basic allowance for us is sten
6:27 am
man's and food and housing and tricare military benefits for that weekend of drill. so, in order to compensate for all of that and the threat of deployment looming all the time especially now, the pentagon officials and a lot of our upper military brass basically says we have got to pay these guys more otherwise they are not going to serve. >> we hope this doesn't result in further pay cut for our active service members. sean parnell the outlaw platoon thanks for your service and thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me, dave. >> dave: ladies, you will definitely want to pay attention to what's coming up next. men revealing the top six things they don't want you to stop doing. pay attention. plus, do you find yourself cranky on those scorching hot days? yep. well, there may be a good reason for it we'll explain the science next. with the spark cash card from capital one,

6:33 am
of crime as a result. >> dave: do you see this, rick? >> rick: i'm with you. i get your face. anger, anxiety, depression. i get that. >> alisyn: in part because your regular routine is disrupted. if you or somebody who gets out your aggression through exercise you can't exercise in this. you can't go for a jog. you can't go outside and play your sports because it's hot. you are counseling rick for everyone to stay inside. >> rick: i have had to have my blinds closed in my apartment. you open up your blinds everything heats up so bad. feel like you are cooped up inside in the summer. >> dave: you should also not make major life decisions peaking at thin tense heat. if you are deciding whether or not to have another baby. to buy a house or get married, don't do t in the intense heat. >> alisyn: who can have a baby in this heat? >> clayton: exactly. just moved to the suburbs yesterday major life decision how is it going?
6:34 am
>> alisyn: she says i think i made a huge mistake. >> rick: i'm happy to hea that alli and i were neighbors. we lived two blocks from each other and now we live two hours from each other. >> alisyn: that's another reason why i'm sad. i will leave the good news for you you can get to the beach with dave all the time. >> alisyn: that is great news for me. dave, what time are you picking me up. >> dave: noon. >> alisyn: with the family? >> dave: yes. >> alisyn: fantastic. >> rick: better have a big car. we have a really warm day going on. 106 today in kansas city. another 97. still humid. it will improve though by the time we get to the day tomorrow. you start to see actually this is over towards monday. we are talking about temps back into the 80's for almost everybody. things are looking a lot lot better. in fact, let's take a look at kind of the next three day forecast for a number of cities here that have been impacted by this heat. can you see where these averages are where you should be and today and tomorrow
6:35 am
temps still extremely high. big improvement comes by the time we get to the day on monday. for almost everyone. and it looks like the next number of days are going to stay a lot better. monday, tuesday, wednesday at least are looking like temperatures back into the 80's. in fact, we might each see a temp around the upper 70s by the time we get to wednesday around new york city. a big cooldown on the way. but you have got to get through this one weekend it is going to be a really tough weekend to get through. stay inside. 46 people have died in this heat wave. so, it isn't just a laughing matter. it's a really dangerous thing. people do need to take all the precautions. especially the elderly. if you have neighbors who are older and maybe on a fixed income. didn't afford to pay those electric bills. check in on them. bring them over to your house. dave, bring some other people along with you, too. >> dave: i will check on alli today. >> alisyn: thank you, i appreciate that thanks for the reminder. let's get to your other headlines. we do have more news making headlines this morning. september 8th is the new trial date set for yousef, the

6:38 am
your life is not the notebook. your marriage is not fit for the silver screen. we are real dudes, real issues, and we're just trying to do our best. >> alisyn: i like that one because they say that women have been so brain washed by reading romance novels and watching romantic films we no longer recognize men being romantic. real version of romance is changing our bald tires on our car. like honey, look what i have done for you we are like where is the flowers and chocolate? who cares about my chocolate. >> clayton: where is the chivalry. >> alisyn: number two don't cry to what you want. >> clayton: stop using emotions as weapons because it's sad and not allowed anymore. it still works for police officers. you get pulled over, you throw little tears you might not getting the speeding ticket after all. >> alisyn: sometimes that does work. good point. number three, apparently women confuse men.
6:39 am
what's so confusing? >> dave: it's the games, alli, it's the playing coy. especially when you take into consideration this is from eharmony. this is in the dating world, mainly, more than marriages. top the games, stop the playing, the pretending to be this in private and this in public. be straight. >> clayton: like playing -- if you like him, let him know. stop playing the games. don't call him back after two days or whatever it is. just call him back. like a movie swinger put t on calendar and wait. >> alisyn: dating experience if you want me to act normally. that did not work. >> dave: stop asking where this is going? stop thinking and obsessing about where this is going, where we are headed, where we will be in six months, a year, two years, five years because quite frankly we don't know. we will see when we get there. >> clayton: men don't know what's going to happen later in the afternoon let alone six months months from now. >> alisyn: when are we supposed to ask?
6:40 am
are we supposed to date you indefinitely for three years? >> clayton: yes, put up with it. >> dave: you have got to have your own number in your head. if it's 3, if it's 4, if it's 5 years. >> alisyn: five years of dating and not asking? >> dave: whatever it is. if it's four years and time is up just go. just do it. >> alisyn: i like that. i like that. >> dave: it's throwing that on us. >> alisyn: at six months i walk out the door. >> clayton: see this on dave's show is he starting. >> alisyn: a big hit. a lot of ratings i imagine. >> clayton: email us friends@foxnews.com. >> dave: dr. dave. the love doctor. >> clayton: weekdays at 4:00 p.m. >> clayton: that's the theme song, too. this guy busting subway what he left behind that led police straight to him. >> alisyn: i hope not his sandwich. all about hope and change in 2008. will young voters keep the president in the white house

officially winning that primary. and talk about a crummy job. a man who allegedly robbed a subway restaurant in pennsylvania busted after police followed a trail of potato chips from the scene of the crime. what is this scooby-doo? benjamin fickles couldn't get into the cash register so he took, allegedly, nine bags of chips instead. jeepous. alli? >> alisyn: just like hanson and gretel. thanks so much, dave. a number of young voters came out in droves in 2008 to campaign and vote for president obama. but four years later that support may be running dry. what's happened? joining us now to weigh in are kristen from crossroads generation and ellie tissuesman from the young democrats of america. thanks so much for being here.
6:45 am
so we know that in 2008, young voters were very energized and they turned out to vote for barack obama. kristen, will we see the same thing this year? >> i think we will see a lot of young voters turn out o. but i don't care we will will see them turn out in such high levels for barack obama. the unemployment rate for voters 18 to 24 ticked up yesterday from 15% to 15.4%. you are seeing huge numbers of young americans having to move home with their parents after they graduate from college, this is not the hope and change that they voted for four years ago. and it particularly these first-time voters who are new, who didn't vote for obama last time, they are up for grabs if republicans really make an effort to reach out to them this year. >> alisyn: we have numbers that may help illustrate four point. pump up a full screen of voters. unemployment. let's start with the unemployment problems. if you are age 18 to 19. you have a 23% unemployment rate. but, of course, a lot of those kids are in college. then when you are graduating from college, age 20 to 24.
6:46 am
it goes up to 12.9%. still obviously higher than the national average of 8.2%. emily, do you think that that's going to be the issue they vote on? >> hi, thanks, alli for having me on. >> alisyn: a pleasure. >> thanks. i think if we look at the larger picture here, if republicans really think that they can win over young people on the issues, then why are they working so hard to pass voter i.d. laws across the country that will prevent young people from voting. 15 states have passed voter i.d. laws in the past couple of years. in fact, the pennsylvania majority leader even said this voter i.d. law will help deliver the state for governor romney. >> alisyn: let me get kristen's comment on that. do you want to tackle that that voter i.d. laws will keep young voters away from the polls? >> i want as many young people as possible out there voting. i think that the number of young people voting is going to have much less of an impact than how they break. i think in many of these swing states, for instance, north carolina, it's just a few
6:47 am
percentage points get knocked off of obama's tally among young voters that state flips blue to red. many swing states young voters not necessarily how many vote but it's how they vote. i agree with emily that i would love to see young voters vote. i think obama can't count on having them in his high numbers this time around. >> alisyn: it does look like uphill battle for republicans. voters age 25 to 29. still at 46% favor president obama over romney. and then voters aged 18 to 24 still 41% to 29%. so emily, i mean there is an uphill battle for mitt romney. >> oh, there definitely is an uphill battle. first of all kristen and i could not agree anymore on the more young people are voting are the better. that's the best vision for our country as possible. what we are seeing some of the effect of is the 2008 was an exceptional once in a lifetime election. and what i think we are seeing
6:48 am
now among young people they are realizing that govern something hard. it's hard -- it's wonderful to have ideas going in. but it is hard to actually implement those ideas. not that those ideas are gone. it's particularly difficult when you have an opposition party who have, you know, really set on locking every one of those ideas. not willing to give them really a chance. i mean the focus here really should be what is best for america and not what could potentially embarrass the president and i think the young people will come around. >> in the exit polls in 2010 voters 18 to 24 were the least likely to say that they thought the stimulus had worked. young americans are looking at president obama's economic policies from the past four years and saying i don't think i want another four years of this. they have an opportunity to reach young voters it will be a huge huge huge part if republicans are able to win this election. >> alisyn: okay, ladies, thanks so much for this debate. we will see what happens. kristen and emily thanks for coming in. >> thank you. >> alisyn: call it a case of

6:54 am
>> well, we -- i kept getting [inaudible] what they send you when you are -- delinquent in your bill. and then after i went down to check it out to see if it was an error, but then nobody didn't seem to find the error. they couldn't tell me anything about t. went to the tax commissioner, he couldn't tell me anything about it. and if you could get the number to his office, his telephone number, but i finally got someone to call the office that had the number and they told me that i didn't owe anything because i had paid my taxes. but, yet, they continued to send me, i think it was about two or three weeks later, something like that. they sent me delinquent tax to
6:55 am
foreclose on my property. >> clayton: you fought and won this after years of legal wrangling the court decision went in your favor. the company is dropping. this what have they tell you? have they apologized for this? you don't think you are the only victim in this. >> no. they didn't apologize. >> clayton: all right. well we tried to reach out to them for a statement. we're saying we didn't have the right to do. we voluntarily relinquished our rights to the property to end this thing in the way that we did. there you go. that's in town ventures that decided to walk around from this after all this legal wrangling. we're glad you were able to keep your home and won this battle. thanks, rita. >> thank you. >> one georgetown professor says the supreme court's ruling on president obama's healthcare law was all about the timing. he will explain what he means coming up. auto coo it be the next solyndra. another green company handed more than $98 million by the obama administration. apparently now going belly up.

to middle class families. >> is mitt getting his message across or is he failing to capitalize? charles krauthammer on what romney needs to do. >> clayton: and if you love individual liberty, you may be listed as a terrorist. that's what a new dhs memo is saying. what about islamist extremism. is that also a threat? take a look at this disparity coming up. "fox & friends" hour two starts right now. [rooser] >> clayton: even rooster sounds dazed from the heat. >> dave: brutal. >> alisyn: intense heat wave gripping the country. more than 4500 high temperature records have been shattered in just this month alone. >> dave: heat not just
7:00 am
uncomfortable, it's also dangerous. at least 46 deaths now linked to the heat wave. to make matters worse, nearly half a million people in west virginia, virginia, maryland, and ohio are still without power. and airconditioning this morning after last week's storms. >> clayton: for more on this and where the heat wave is headed we go to fox news chief meteorologist rick reichmuth. hey, rick. >> they have got more storms headed toward d.c. tomorrow unfortunately could cause more trees down and additional power outages for people there here is your temps as you are waking up. not your temps, it's your heat index. what it feels like when you factor in the humidity. d.c. you only feel like 90 degrees. extremely uncomfortable start to the day. after days and days of all of this heat. we have all kinds of heat advisories in effect still across areas of the great lakes in towards the ohio river valley. but it's also spreading now in across areas of the mid-atlantic. yesterday though, however, these were across areas kind of western iowa and parts of nebraska. so it is improving a little bit to the west and this heat pulls off towards the east and
7:01 am
eventually it does start to improve but that's because we're going to have some severe weather moving in here. today we have the severe threat from around just to the south of boston. but definitely through hartford and new york and over towards philadelphia and around baltimore and back in towards the ohio river valley. it's mostly a very strong wind event. we might see some small hail with this. by tomorrow this front sags a little farther to the south. that means a little more relief to the north of it as it happens. we will see some of these severe storms from nashville and again tomorrow, i think stretching in towards the washington, d.c. area. you got to go through these bad storms. the good thing is it drops the temperatures behind it tomorrow you will see these temperatures a little bit better towards chicago and cleveland where it's been baking so much. still very warm around the ohio valley and the mid-atlantic. by the time we get towards the day on monday, a big improvement for a lot of people. in fact, we will be seeing temps just into the 80's for almost everyone. kind of more seasonal where you should be. that heat then has to go somewhere. it's going to start to build out across parts of the west. we have been talking so much about these record breaking
7:02 am
high temperatures. record breaking low temperatures across the west. start to heat up getting into 80 in seattle. big improvement across areas of the east. at least by this monday. this weekend still unfortunately hot. >> >> bright spot at the end. >> dave: talk about the economy this morning. it's fascinating when you have the two sides of the political spectrum spinning the same numbers. one a kick in the gut the other a step in the right direction. the jobs numbers were bleak on friday. as you know about 80,000 jobs created. the unemployment rate stuck at 8.2%. when you look at it from a quarterly perspective, guys, the beginning of the year we were averaging about 226,000 jobs per month beginning of the year. now, we have created 226,000 in the last three months combined. so from a quarterly perspective, it's very clear. any recovery has stalled. >> clayton: experts say you need a quarter of a million jobs a month for election day for president obama to get to the numbers at which a
7:03 am
president has been reelected. no president with this type of economic situation has been reelected. president obama says though it's all about blame me. everyone wants to just blame me, he says. listen. >> it's all obama's fault. that's basically their only message. now, you know, i guess this is a plan to win an election but it's not a plan to create jobs. for the last three years, when some folks said let's let detroit go bankrupt,. >> no. >> we said no, we're betting on the american worker. [cheers] >> we're betting on the american industry. so the question for all of you at this moment is how will we determine our direction, not just for the next year, not just for the next five years, but for the next decade? the next two decades? because this election is not just about two candidates or two parties.
7:04 am
it's about two fundamentally different visions. >> that's right. >> of where we take america. >> alisyn: two fundal mentally different visions for where to take america. the president is talking about something that charles krauthammer referenced which we'll tell you about in a moment. but mitt romney is not talking about the ideological differences. he was talking about the eanymore mick job numbers on the trail yesterday. let's listen. >> it is another kick in the gutierrez to middle class families. this is a time for america to choose whether they want more of the same. whether unemployment above 8%, month after month after month is satisfactory or not. doesn't have to be this way. america can do better. and this kick in the gut has got to end. >> so the question this morning and the question that you pointed out about charles krauthammer is this idea that is mitt romney saying enough, that he has been receiving quite a bit of criticism not only from the editorial pages of the "wall street journal," and also from conservative
7:05 am
pundits who are saying it's not enough just to say obama got us into this mess or his economic policies fail. what are you going to do going forward to get us out of this? that's what charles krauthammer was talking about last night. let's listen. >> i think romney's problem is not just that he doesn't have the -- you know, he doesn't know how to deliver a message or not charismatic. i think the way to put it is simply hasn't been ideological enough. this is a center right country. this is a country that two years ago threw out the democrats without any leadership, without any charismatic speeches over issues like obama care, the increase in the size of government and the debt. it's sitting out there. the american people do not want the expansion of government and european social democracy. we know that we just saw it it there hasn't been a radical change in the electorate. romney has to make the case not just i know how to do jobs and create them because did i it at bain. he wants to stick to biography. it's not enough.
7:06 am
>> alisyn: interesting, right? so should he make this a larger argument? should he show his larger vision? >> his argument is he could become the republic version of john kerry. which it's not just enough to run on your record as the rich guy who knows how to create jobs. you need to put out an actual substantive plan to do that it's not enough because you are going to get painted like a john kerry riding on a jet ski with your family. >> is it a question of stub stance or style. a lot are hitting him on the substance. you saw mitt romney very calm. almost down talking about the jobs numbers. some want him to show fire. or is t substance. does he need what you are talking about, clayton, a plan, here is what i'm going to do to turn this economy around. lower taxes. what is it? what is your vision. we know he has 57,000 point plan on his web site. boil that down to a few key points and sell it to america. >> and also was revealed this week david brooks and others he actually has a healthcare plan that he is not talking about. and so when his response to the healthcare debate came out this past week and everything that up folded with john
7:07 am
roberts. >> muddled. >> muddled. senior advisor saying one thing and him saying another thing and team seemed all over the place on it he could have come out and said here is where we differ and here is my plan. he didn't do that. >> alisyn: why did neither candidate want to talk about their healthcare plan? that is just apparently -- >> -- because maybe no one is paying attention. it's the middle of the summer. by all accounts most people pay attention to elections come september. >> alisyn: most people are bored of the election they are still campaigning. >> dave: wake them up. make them interested. that's what leaders do. if you want the white house, that's what you do. wake up this country. shake them by the collar a little bit. tell them this is not enough to accept this. >> alisyn: you make a great point that's what newscasters do also. wake up, everyone. we have headlines to tell you about. stop resting on your laurels. george zimmerman waking up in a secret safe house this morning after being released from jail on a 1-million-dollar bond. he has also hired a security team we have learned using donations from his online
7:08 am
defense fund. that fund raking in more than 2 othousand dollars in the last two days alone. unlike the last time zimmerman went free on bail. he is now forbidden from leaving seminole county without permission. though his lawyers are sticking appeal that decision to protect his safety. zimmerman, of course, awaiting trial for the shooting death of travon martin. something he claims he did in self-defense. >> another taxpayer funded green energy project about to go belly up. nevada geothermal power received $99 million from the obama administration back in 2010 and even touted as the saudi arain afteralternative energy by harry reid. the problem? it's now reporting substantial debt and auditors say the company will not be able to stay in business much longer. of course, this is not the first federally funded greenishive that's turned out to be a bust. california solar power solyndra received $535 million before going bankrupt last year. and arizona man is going to jail for holding bible studies in his own home.
7:09 am
michael salmon is a pastor and father of six involved in a battle with the city of phoenix since 2007. when police were called to his home because of traffic backups. since then, he has been told to stop holding the sessions and built a shed in his backyard to hold them instead. a court found him guilty of 67 violations sentencing him to serve 60 days in jail and $12,000 fine. the city says this issue is not a religious issue but rather zoning and public safety. you think debates on this show get heated? take a look at a jordanian lawmaker goes absolutely insane on live tv. [shouting] >> alisyn: i remember the last time allen rattner was on. very similar. extremely similar scene. arthur aidala, yeah. can you see the lawmaker throwing his shoe and then pulling a gun during a debate over jordan's policy on syria. there is now a chance he will be charged with attempted
7:10 am
murder. >> clayton: do we have a bun policy in our studio. >> alisyn: we should. >> clayton: gusts aren't allowed to pack heat? >> dave: check out some of our crew? if in fact you celebrated vigorously the fourth of july this past week. if you don't like a large overbearing government centralized government, you could be labeled a terrorist by our own department of homeland security according to a new study. >> alisyn: right. apparently they looked at the department of homeland security commissioned a study by an outfit called study of terrorism and responses to terrorism. they paid $3.6 million for this study. what they looked at were basically homegrown terrorists, where the biggest potential threat is in the united states for terror. and one of their conclusions they found is that people who believe that their own national way of life is under attack and if they revere liberty. so if they revere liberty again on this fourth of july week, basically, that is something that the department
7:11 am
of homeland security should be on the lookout for because they could be inclined towards terror, acts of terror. >> clayton: the question of course from the other side of this what in the world about islamic extremists. look at report. nationalistic to alli's point anti-global, suspicious of centralized federal authority. reverent of individual liberty and believe in conspiracy theories that involve grave national threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty. if you take out the actual, the independence part of this thing. you may be looking at some, you know, militia or worried about individuals who may have perpetrated crimes like a timothy mcveigh type. if you pull out the individual liberty part you might be okay. to say that liberty lovers are the ones that could be a trouble? >> to lop it in there with all the other things just doesn't really make sense to a lot of of people watching this program right now that say i'm reverend reverent of my individual liberty but don't want to be lopped in with
7:12 am
extremists. >> alisyn: world net daily taken a look at this study. where is the mission of islamic extremism that is homegrown that is here. looking at the guy who was planning the times square bombing people who do live here and are actively doing disruptive things, where is the mention of that? >> clayton: interesting. let us know what you think friends at foxandfriends.com. if the healthcare ruling did not come down this year in 2012. voters would be stuck with it that's why our next guest says the timing was perfect on the supreme court's ruling. >> dave: interesting. then there are more teenagers on anti-depressants now, more than ever before so are we too quick to hand our children medication? we'll discuss that coming up. ♪ [ male announcer ] ok, so you're no marathon man. but thanks to the htc one x from at&t, with its built in beats audio, every note sounds amazingly clear.

7:15 am
according to one georgetown law professor it was all about perfect timing. >> it is within the power of the electorate to reverse obama care. it's not going to be easy and it's not a guarantee but something that can be done and we have an election teed up in order to do that. the timing of this was actually quite good for that. but it would be next to impossible to reverse an adverse ruling about the constitution is that we were expecting if we lost on obama care that would take generations. as it is we made good law as opposed to bad law on the constitution. >> clayton: joining us randy barnett. professor of legal theory at georgetown law and author of the book restoring the lost constitution. the presumption of liberty. professor, nice to see you this morning. you know, it's interesting because thinking about john roberts and all of the conservatives who are fired up about the decision that came out of john roberts at least on his side of this, it seems though that maybe he has given them a bit of an easer egg or given them a t up here come election time. why do you think that might be
7:16 am
the case? >> the first thick i have to say is that i love liberty but i'm not packing in the studio today. >> clayton: we kept you out of the studio. >> i don't think he -- i don't give john roberts credit for this decision that he made it was a political decision and i believe in which he -- which was intended to protect the legitimacy of the court by giving the president -- by not striking down the president's signature legislation. but having said all of that as part of the deal, you know, the president got his law, and we got good constitutional law on the commerce clause and the necessary and proper clause on the spending power. we made some bad law on the tax power. but the timing of this is actually pretty good. because what it is teed up for the next election. this lawsuit kept this law in legitimacy and legal limbo for two years. in time for the republics to take control of the house. and now in time for a presidential election to be made about obama care. if we had lost the constitutional issues, rather than the obama care issue, it
7:17 am
would be very hard for the electorate to respond. but by losing on obama care and winning on the constitutional issues, now the electorate gets to decide. >> dave: randy, that implies two things one that the republicans don't run on the economy which clearly is the case. and that they do run on obama care on telling voters this is how you get rid of obama care. doesn't that carry with it some inherent risk? >> absolutely. having a republic run a good presidential race is inherently uncertain. we have to hope that the republic candidate, who has pledged to repeal obama care. we start off with that. why did mitt romney pledge to repeal obama care? he did so because the republic electorate, the republic base that was in the primaries demanded that. and that's why he led with that certainly not his strongest issue. >> clayton: also to follow up on dave's point t also implies another thing that mitt romney will have a clear message on healthcare coming forward. he hasn't so far. there was a muddled response to the supreme court decision this past week from his senior
7:18 am
advisor calling it a penalty. mitt romney then calling it a tax. then arguing basically that perhaps he then raise taxes on the folks of massachusetts given that same metrics. so can he walk that delicate line going forward? >> all that's necessary is that mitt romney win the election and that he has pledged to repealing obama care and that there is a congress that is pledged to repealing obama care. if those three things happen, then obama care will get repealed and replaced with something else. he doesn't have to actually run on it as long as he wins. >> dave: randy barnett from georgetown law. thanks for being here. >> my pleasure. >> coming up on the show, there are more teenagers on anti-depressants now than ever before. is this necessary or are we just overmedicating our children? we're going to explore this still ahead. >> dave: and he risked his life to save a woman from a burning home. now firefighter is catching heat for his rescue efforts. [ male announcer ] what's in your energy drink?

>> dave: 7:23 eastern time. news by the numbers. a.i.g. is suing the u.s. government for interest on the overpayment it made on taxes in 1991, $30 million. this after a.i.g. received 182 and a half billion-dollar bailout in 2008 next 63,000. how many pennies the man pay off his house. it took him 35 years to collect all the change. reminds me of kramer paying. finally over 100 miles per hour. that's how fast the beebs allegedly was driving on a california highway prompting
7:23 am
10, 911 calls. the singer was reportedly being chased by five or six pawps. somewhat understandable before being pulled over by the cops. >> alisyn: that explains his hairdo. he had 100 mile-per-hour hair right there. the drug prozac turns 25 this year. every year thousands of american children are prescribed the drug and others like it. according to the national center for health statistics, 5% of teenagers aged 12 to 19 years old, do take an antidepressant now. is that necessary? or are we overmedicating our children? so joining us to discuss this is the author of the book, coming of age on zoloft. catherine sharp. catherine, welcome. >> thanks, alli. >> in your research in writi the book is it that more teenagers today are in need of anti-depressants and antianxiety medication or are doctors overprescribing it? that's a difficult question to answer. i think there are number of things going on describe the
7:24 am
increase and use of these drugs for one thing the stigma to using anti-depressants has gone down. that's a good thing to certain extent. usage explained by other factors such as insurance companies that are more willing to may poor medications than they are to pay for other proven approaches like psychotherapy. we have had a cultural shift where we have medicalized a lot of negative feelings like sadness, anxiety. things that would have been psychological. >> alisyn: that is something. where teenagers now are sad or depressed. as teenagers are want to be, they are having mood swings, that now it seems that there is a chemical imbalance in your brain. so take this medicine and all will be better. you had an interesting experience in college with anxiety. tell us what happened when you went to the doctor. >> i did. as a college freshman like
7:25 am
many college freshman do i went through a rough time. somewhat to my surprise came out 20 minutes later came out with prescription antidepressant that i ended up taking for a number of years. >> alisyn: is there a problem with this in that it doesn't teach teenagers the coping mechanism to get through depression and anxiety you can just take medicine or is it helpful to be able to pop a pill? >> it can be a problem. i think pills definitely have a role to play. certainly, ideally they can help people to give them the energy and give them what they need to take a look at their lives and address any underlying problems that might be there. but, an approach where we give medication as a first line response, sometimes, unreflectively a where we overencourage people to think of their problems as manifestation of illness or imbalance rather than sometimes to take a deeper
7:26 am

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.

7:43 am
7:44 am
>> clayton: welcome back. libya holding first historic election 50 years after the fall of muammar qaddafi. assembly of picking a cabinet and prime minister. elections come amid violence that began with these regional rivals. and he spent over 30 years behind bars for a crime he didn't commit. but today andre davis is a free man. the chicago man convicted for the rape and murder of a 3-year-old girl in 1980s had has been released from an illinois prison exonerated after d.n.a. was re-tested and found not to belong to him. 1980. you can guys believe that? unbelievable. >> thank you, clayton. meanwhile the u.n. is drafting an arms treaty that would limit the transfer of weapons between countries. but is the treaty infringing on our constitutional right? >> alisyn: joining us now is eye on the u.n. and professor at the college of human rights. ann, great to have you back.
7:45 am
>> nice to see you. >> alisyn: let's rewind the tape for a minute and look at the original promise of the u.n. which was to protect international peace. but when you look at what's going on around the world. just start with syria. the u.n. is not quite living up to that mission statement. >> no. not by a long shot. i mean, it was one thing in 1945 at the end of the second world war. and its promises now are human rights to protect human rights. to protect international peace and security. and now we have a human rights council that has saudi arabia, china and cuba on it deciding what is a human right. >> dave: who complies with these things arms treaty which the u.s. would comply with. would he be being the one that kicks in the most money to the u.n. and arguably gets the least out of it. those countries who don't see things like the united states, do they even comply with such things, with such orders from the u.n.?
7:46 am
>> well, that's the big problem. i mean, he they are currently negotiating this arms trade treaty. and the fear is that it will have holes in it, can drive a mac true through for islamic states who want to exempt anything in the name of self-determination. and the theory of it just doesn't match up with the practice. >> alisyn: meaning what? is this treaty supposed to do? >> that n. theory it's supposed to stop illicit transfer of arms to bad guys. terrorists, and people trying to arm child soldiers and drug traffickers. >> alisyn: in practice it can't do that, why? >> the problem is that it will have various exemption clauses. you can't transfer arms to countries which are engaged in human rights abuse but the definition hough is engaged in a human rights abuse will be, you know, the chinese and the saudi arabians and human rights counsel.
7:47 am
>> dave: again t could adversely effect the united states. has the u.n. outlived its purpose the one alli was describing earlier? >> you are asking -- the point is that this international treaty is going to impinge on the rights of americans. and i think we have to understand that the international theory has to be matched up with enforcement, which is supposed to take place at the domestic level which means we have to worry about the second amendment and the impact on americans' lives. has it outlived its usefulness? look, there ought to be a united democratic nations long overdue for the 20th century. >> dave: less than half of the u.n. are full fledged democracy. >> less than half are full-fledged democracy. the implementation mechanisms associated with international treaties are a threat in many cases to the rights and responsibilities and freedoms of americans.

myths that even smart people are falling for. joining us is get credit healthy.com. >> clayton: let's start with this. there are certain things can you do improve your credit and be pretty easy. big myths out there the way we are being hurt. first thing up is checking your credit information, dialing it up online to find out information hurts your credit score. that is false. that is something i have long-believed. why is is that false? >> because many people think that when you check your own credit score you are going to have a negative hit against you. it's an inquiry. that's only when lenders check your credit. they have permissible purpose, which is a hard pull on your credit score versus a soft pull which you do. >> clayton: interesting. number two on your list getting turned down for a credit card also hurts your
7:53 am
score. that apparently is false. keep applying for credit cards and get turned down that does not have an adverse fection? >> it does not. what we are going back down to getting turned down is a negative thing. the negative part about it is first you didn't get the credit card on top of it is it's a hard inquiry. remember when i said the permissible purpose you gave that creditor the option to pull your credit score and that is a hard pull. so that will have a a negative hit. combine rememberries are 10% of your credit score if you use the f.i.c.a. scoring model. >> clayton: if you are looking at a house or something. the bank looks at you constantly being pulled for different credit reasons that's not a big issue for them? >> it is. it is it's actually, again it, goes back to the creditor is pulling your credit score not you. if you pull it, you are not having a hard inquiry on your credit. >> clayton: that's good to he know. all three credit bureaus have the same information and the same score.
7:54 am
that's long thought. equifax, transand expeterson. >> we are so confused because there is so many information out there. reality is that the three bureaus are three separate entities. and not all creditors actually report to all three bureaus. that's why it is so important within our organization, we stress that you pull your own credit report through annual credit report.com. once a year to see what is being reported. >> clayton: it's free, of course, too to get that credit report. >> it is free. once a year. >> clayton: otherwise you may for it it, right? >> once a year, well, and also if you get declined for any reason from a lender, they are supposed to send you a credit report based on why you got declined. >> clayton: sometimes you need to ask for that because they don't oak particularly send t. number four on your list is your credit report includes your credit score, that's false. >> correct. as we were just talking about it throughable credit report
7:55 am
you get your credit report for free. a score is a separate entity completely. i mean, 90% of lenders use the f.i.c.a. scoring model where you have to pay for it. legally we could get your report but not your credit score for free. >> clayton: number five on your list here that debit cards can help your credit. we have heard that if you have a debit card, you do transsactions through it at different stores that you will get better credit as a result of it. false, is it just credit cards that help? >> well, we're now coming across a lot are the prepaid credit cards and people are thinking whether it's prepaid or debit cards that it reports to the bureaus. those credit cards, debit cards do not report to the bureaus. if it's not reporting it's not part of the formula and not pulling the information to help you build your credit. >> clayton: thank you so much, elizabeth. get healthy credit.com is the web site. please go there and check t out. get credit healthy.com.

8:01 am
all sorts of other emotion. >> alisyn: it's true there is a new study. >> rick: it it's true also a day to stay home and have dinner inside with the kids. >> clayton: lunch and breakfast. >> rick: maybe a movie this afternoon. 46 fatalities just from this heat over the last couple of weeks. very serious matter for a lot of people. if you can stay inside today and tomorrow, that's going to be the best bet. would desee conditions improve by the time we get to monday. here you go. here is your temps as you are waking up. already at 84 in chicago. actual air temperature. feels warmer than that. not only is it hot but on the eastern part of the country very kind of humid air mass that's in place. here is your high temperatures today. this is an improvement across the far northern plains. minneapolis 86 today. but you can see where that darker color starts to head. in and that's as you head in here across parts of the central part of the country today. wichita, 106. keeps city 105. tulsa 103. everybody here baking go a little bit farther off towards the east. still the conditions extremely dangerous.
8:02 am
st. louis i will tell you has been really dealing with this in a big way and they are not going to see any improvement today or tomorrow. chicago 98 today. do you see your conditions improve eventually but it's because we have a front that's going to move through and cause a little bit of problems. we expect to see some severe weather today. this is a wind and hail event. mostly a wind event. not a tornado event. but we have seen what can happen with some of these wind damage like the like we saw in washington, d.c. last week. some of these pictures we have been seeing in severe weather. that's the kind of storm we are going to deal with today. tomorrow it pulls farther off into the mid-atlantic back to the ohio valley. the good part is by the time this is done, which is going to be in towards the day on monday, we're going to be talking about far improved conditions and a lot of people seeing a big relief in those temperatures. back into the 80's for almost everybody across the east and then we will warm it up across parts of the west. >> dave: baseball in both st. louis and in d.c. that should be not a fun one at all. >> alisyn: thanks, rick. get to your headlines right now. tell us what else is
8:03 am
happening. drone strike in northwest pakistan kills at least 15 suspected taliban militants. pakistani intelligence says this happened in a village in north waziristan. four missiles fired at compound believed to be owned by taliban commander. this comes as tension gross over american drone strikes in the country. it's the first strike since pakistan reopened nato supply routes this past week. george zimmerman a free man yet again this morning. here he is leaving a florida jail after posting the required 10% of his 1-million-dollar bond. is he now staying in a temporary safe house until he finds a more permanent place to live. he has also hired a security team using donations pouring into his defense fund online. unlike the last time zimmerman went free on bail, he is now forbidden from leaving seminole county without permission. he is also not allowed to have a bank account or step foot on airport property. zimmerman, of course, awaiting trial for the shooting death of travon martin, something he claims he did in self-defense. california lawmakers funding
8:04 am
for the nation's very first high speed rail line. the rail will eventually connect los angeles to san francisco. but he will have a total cost of $68 billion. president obama and california's democratic governor jerry brown claimed the project will create jobs and provide echo friendly form of transportation. of course, others are not too keen on the idea. huge strain on taxpayers. especially as california faces the biggest budget deficit of any state in the country. new jersey governor chris christie once again getting heated with a heckler. [shouting] >> you are a real big shot. >> you are a real big shot shooting your mouth off. walking away. keep walking. keep walking. keep walking. >> alisyn: the governor getting ice cream with his family. the jersey shore god that board walk ice cream is so good. that's when a passer by started heckling him about his education policy and what he is doing for teachers.
8:05 am
that's when the governor went off. of course, christie does have a reputation for this kind of thing. you will remember he called the reporter an idiot just last week after a reporter asked a question that he thought was not on topic. >> clayton: coming up in just a little bit the heat and how that may have led to some of his aggression on the board walk. >> alisyn: heat disorder. >> dave: common thread between how the president and mitt romney both saw the jobs numbers on friday. both said it had something to do with the foot. one thought it was a kick in the foot and the other a step in the right direction. guess who said that about 80,000 jobs in an 8.2 unemployment rate? >> we learned this morning that our businesses have created 894,000 new jobs last last -- 84,000 jobs last month. created 4.4 million new jobs over the past 28 months. including 500,000 new manufacturing jobs. [ applause ] >> that's a step in the right
8:06 am
direction. >> alisyn: what mitt romney did was decided to rekind the tape back in 2009 and remind his audience on the campaign trail that the obama administration had predicted that the unemployment rate would not be above 8% if the stimulus were passed. let's listen to romney. >> their prediction was unemployment would be at 5.6% now. instead, it's 8.2%. millions and millions of families are struggling and suffering because the president's policies have not worked for them. >> clayton: so, of course, the white house has long defended that argument saying that was christina romer basically saying if the full amount of the stimulus went into effect it wouldn't reach above 8%. they say that only half of the stimulus went into effect and therefore that's why you get those numbers. any way you pars them it's not positive for the president. because this prediction back in 2009 showed that unemployment rate projected to top off in mid 2009 at 8%.
8:07 am
and then drop to 7% by the end of the quarter of 2010. that was, given those projections from the bureau of labor statistics, given the stimulus money and other forms of spending. >> i think right now that projection had it around 5.6%. which clearly would be an amazing turn around for this economy in the next eight years. >> alisyn: by the way, one of the people, the top economist in the administration at the time was jared bernstein, he says their projections were flawed. he admits their projections are flawed. they use incomplete data. they didn't realize he says that the economy was constricting at the rate that it was. and now, what he says, is that there is no way in 2012 that it will go below 8%. >> dave: didn't realize the stimulus would work. that's another interpretation. coming up next on the run down, one year after the jury found casey anthony not guilty of killing 2-year-old cailee, her lawyer, jose baez now coming clean about the case

single defense attorney anywhere on any network that thought you would get the right verdict for yourself. that you would win this case. when you look at this woman, and when you think back, when you first met casey anthony, i know in your head it's about what can i prove. but in your gut, did you believe that she had nothing to do with the death of her daughter? in the book i lay out how it was when i first let met her and over the course of the case. the way i look at things what does the evidence show and what are the facts? i really do take a step back and try to be objective. initially i have to tell you and admit there were times when i thought the case wasn't looking very good for her. as i dug into the facts and started investigating the case a lot more. i started to see huge signs of her innocence, that is what made us forge ahead. that is what made me fight so hard. >> in this book you talk about your initial discovery of that subsequent coming out of the
8:13 am
car. you thought it was what? >> i thought when i first heard it, well, first of all, hearing nothing about the smell and then when i smelled the car, i thought just what everyone else thought because that's preconditioned. i was preconditioned to think this is what a dead body smells like. and then i was with, fortunately i had the best in the business, dr. henry lee who sat there and was with me and then we saw the trash that was in the trunk of the car. and i asked him. you have more experience than anybody in this country, tell me is that what that smells like to you. >> dave: he quit the case? why did he quit the case? >> he was feeling a lot of pressure. this case to be a member of the defense team was not easy. we had death threats. we had people threatening our careers my personal career was on the line 26 times with different bar complaints i faced one from the judge. >> dave: the country was against you? >> absolutely. and to this day there was a huge bit of anger against me
8:14 am
for taking an oath what i do. defend the constitution and my client. >> you also write in the book doubt questions over hot father was of little cailee anthony that the father may have been, in fact, george anthony. were these fears that casey had? >> well, casey had told us that she believed -- that she actually told george that he was the father at one point in time. but, however, that she believed it happened as a result of a date rape. so, what ended up happening everybody's thought that cailee's father was relevant to the case in all actuality it wasn't relevant to what happened on june 16th. >> 2008. >> there were a lot of unanswered questions still today regardless of the determination of this case if there was one question that you need answered to get some closure because i sense that the country doesn't have closure with this case, what's that question you need answered? >> for myself i have closure because, you know, casey had
8:15 am
her day in court. and she -- and that's what justice is, having fairness of your day in court. she her day in court. that chapter in my life is is over. but what i think most people would get or need to get closure would be a full investigation of everyone. not just casey. there was no one investigated in the history of the state of florida better than casey anthony. however, those surrounding her and those other people -- those other individuals involved in this case were never investigated. they were at certain times intentionally looked the other way. law enforcement looked the other way essentially on a couple of other people. and, you know, i'm sure they felt the ends justifies the means. but when you are doing a case so important as the death of a child, you should leave no stone left unturned it. >> dave: finally, does it trouble you that though she was cleared she re, according to one poll the most hated
8:16 am
woman in america. does that trouble you? >> it does. but, you know what bothers me i'm powerless. i did my job. there is really nothing i can do to that effect what i hope we can all do and hope to accomplish with the book, too. people can take a look at all the facts and the entire system and see where we can learn and grow from here and perhaps the next case will be handled better. perhaps the next case will be more thorough. and perhaps the public would be better informed so the shocking verdict that everyone talks about won't be so shocking next time. >> it's one of those verdicts we will never forget. jose baez the book is presumed guilty. casey anthony, the inside story. in book stores, controversial, intriguing, fascinating read. good to see you. >> thank you so much. >> dave: coming up, a restaurant owner facing a state investigation and a lawsuit all for giving discounts to church goers.
8:17 am
really? is is that fair? he we report. you decide. and did you know being middle class was all in your head? >> it's also an attitude. it's not just about income. it's about knowing what's important. >> dave: is the president returning to the rhetoric of class warfare? governor huckabee here to weigh in on that ahead. hi, i'm phil mickelson. 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.
8:18 am
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.

[sirens] >> alisyn: small pennsylvania restaurant is in trouble for giving disowntsdz for church goers. the owner wanted to boost business offering 10% off to anyone who brought in a church bulletin. >> clayton: one man, self-proclaimed atheist filing suit calling those discounts discriminatory. state investigation. joining us is the owner cajun kitchen sharon along with her attorney randy wenger. nice to have both of you joining us this morning. thanks so much. >> thanks. >> thank you so much. >> clayton: what was your response from this atheist gentleman who says your restaurant was discriminating against him because you were offering this 10% discount? >> frankly i thought the whole thing was a little bit strange because i didn't feel i was doing anything wrong. i still don't feel i am. we have a variety of discounts
8:22 am
as most restaurants do. and the outpouring from people especially texas and georgia and i have been informed that the restaurants in their areas have been doing it for quite some time with no problems whatsoever. >> alisyn: randy, basically sharon was treating the church bulletin has a coupon if you bring it in. you get 10% off. is that illegal? >> absolutely not. we at the imedz law center were very interested in this case because of the policy implication of this sort of thing. if a business owner can be told that they can't do a church bulletin discount, it's like saying you can't honor the best traditions in american society. i think that the case got a lot of traction with the american people because we're tired of having the best of our traditions sort of relevant gated as a -- relegated as a poison. this isn't like a
8:23 am
discrimination case. sharon loves everybody. but she should have the right as an person to be able to give out a discount to whomever she wishes. >> clayton: john wolf takes umbrage with that the atheist who filed the complaint hoovmenter is a statement from him and sharon we will get it you to respond. he said i'm not interested in the discount. i resent the fact that this gives the appearance of rewarding church goers. this is another example of religion pervading our society. what do you say to that? >> >> well, actually i would say to this statement that basically it's just another marketing ploy. how about you go to home depot or lowe's and the contractors are going to get a discount but i don't. you know, there are so many different ideas and views about this. but as far as discriminating, we have also stated to this gentleman that he can bring in his freedom from religion bulletin and he, too, can take advantage of the discount.
8:24 am
it is open to synagogues, mosques. it doesn't matter what religious group you are with, or what you believe in, everybody has a -- some kind of a bulletin. i don't care if you go to church on saturday or sunday and what your beliefs are. but bring in your bulletin. it's for everybody. >> alisyn: sharon, you are even willing to give him in a discount if he brings in his affiliation. the group he is affiliated with it's hard to see, randy, how this is discriminatory. yet, the state is investigating sharon. does that ratchet this whole case up a notch? >> well, it ratchets the whole case up a notch. at the same time we're very hopeful for a good outcome. because when you logic check this against the policies behind the law, we should win. i mean, the reason we came up with nondiscrimination laws in the first place was because of trying to prevent those hateful discriminatory practices where you won't
8:25 am
serve somebody at a lunch counter because they are black or part of a religion that you dislike. this is totally different. this doesn't have anything to do with mean-spirited bigotry. it has only to do with wanting to honor the best of american traditions. and that's a good thing. not a bad thing. sharon and randy we appreciate you joining us this morning. good luck with your battle in this regard. >> alisyn: keep us posted guys, thank you. >> thank you. >> all right. up next on the run down, shocking video and debate getting so heated that a lawmaker pulls out a gun on live television. we'll tell you how this ends. >> clayton: another bleak jobs report. what does this mean for the economy. governor mike huckabee will weigh in next if he can get a word in edge wise. >> alisyn: i think he is cheating. he is getting the answers before we are. ♪ ♪ ♪

meteorologist. take a look at the maps. few things going on. obviously it's hot. storms with it so humid. look at this. this is your heat index as clayton was so eloquently talking about. 93 degrees is what it feels like already in washington, d.c. and 90 in st. louis. and in st. louis it's only 7:30 in the morning. look what's going to happen in the next few days. kansas city, columbus ohio, d.c. and d.c., and new york. averages. today's temperatures tomorrow and monday. every one of those cities by monday you will have temperatures down into the 80's. so a big drop off for a lot of people about 15 to 18 degrees. that's going to be a really welcome relief from this heat that we're dealing with. take a look at your forecast for the day though because we have still got to get through today and tomorrow. we have these storms across the northeast that are going to come through. behind the storms cooler temperatures. when we are dealing with the storms some of them are going to be severe. very strong winds and some big

8:34 am
>> dave: they ever creating jobs there okay? mitt romney uses they both use a foot reference in describing the jobs numbers. mitt romney says a kick in the gut. the president says it's a step in the right direction. not have to use feet in describing what you feel about it. >> i wanted to take my shoe off and throw it at you guys. >> a lot of our guests feel that way. >> how do you describe though what we saw on friday where this economy is headed? >> there is no way that president obama can spin this in a pive way. when you're only seeing 80,000 jobs. the economists had predicted it was going to be a bad month saying 95,000. that was bad. 80,000 is worse. more people file for disability last month than filed for jobs. now, think about that more people permanently went off the job role in disability than got employed. that is just about as bad as it can get. >> clayton: long term unemployed is really bad. 5.4 million americans. but, furthermore, the president though and the white house trying to say this is a step in the right direction, trying to paint a positive
8:35 am
picture in the manufacturing sector. visiting ohio and pennsylvania. where those states have not been as hard hit as the rest of the country as far as unemployment numbers. and where president obama has about an 8% approval rating higher than mitt romney. here is the president talking about manufacturing jobs yesterday. >> middle class is also an attitude. 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. >> somehow, that those so-called job creators will make everything okay for the rest of us. we believe that the way to build this country is the way we always have, from the middle out. >> alisyn: that was actually a different sound bite. he was talking about the middle class. both of them were playing to
8:36 am
the middle class. something president obama said very interesting and i want to get your reaction to, middle class is a mind set. being middle class is an attitude. we look out for each other other classes don't do that? rich people don't look out for each other? >> what's important as well he added. >> what an insult to all the people who who for some reason aren't middle class. maybe they are impoverished. do they not have aspirations and dreams. i grew up looking forward to being middle class so i didn't start there i resent the whole idea that middle class is the arrival point. it's the destination. middle class is simply a place where people are on the economic scale that means you're kind of in the average. it means that you're not in the lowest condition of economic circumstances, neither are you in the highest. my guess is that there is not saying gel person in the middle class if they had a chance to be in the 1% wouldn't say no, that's not for me. no, i don't care about that no, it happens sometimes because people are fortunate. sometimes because they work
8:37 am
real hard and get there a whole variety of reasons. but the point is, that is the kind of, to me, class warfare tactic that ultimately if people just use their noodle, they are going to say that doesn't make sense. that middle class is an attitude. because, no, middle class is an economic position that people are in and it's not a bad one. and here's the thing. poverty in america is better than middle class in most countries of the world. and that's when you start thinking that most people, even in poverty, still have a cell phone, they have airconditioning, they have food, not everybody, there is still a lot of poverty out there and some of it is dire nothing like the rest of the world. >> dave: after what joe biden said. the middle class is republic and democratic and alike. middle class is the engine that will get this economy moving which one can argue that but he discounted what job creators do in this economy. they, after all, hire the middle class suggesting that we need to focus on how the
8:38 am
middle class can get the economy moving again. >> let me take issue with joe biden. job creators are middle class. who does he think people are who have a mom and pop store or people that start out a business on their kitchen table and expand it to where they hire the next person? most jobs, 8 a% of the jobs created in this country are created by small business. not by the mega companies. not by the huge multinational corporations. they are created by those very middle class people that he acts like don't understand the job creators. joe, those are the job creators for gosh sake. they are the ones who are creating the bulk of the jobs that come in this country. >> clayton: meanwhile these poll numbers are interesting. rust belt states where the president holds a little bit of a lead over mitt romney. with all the bad economic news and job numbers this past week and healthcare decision. mitt romney is still underneath right now some of those states. you will stick around. when we come right back, we will talk to you more about the message from the mitt romney camp. has it been a muddled message

8:43 am
actually a penalty not a tax. so what is it? did the romney campaign just bungle their reaction? >> alisyn: we continue now with governor mike huckabee. what was that? >> it wasn't the best moment because over the weekend after the supreme court decision on thursday, the republicans really knew that they had lost the legal argument. that they had overwhelmingly won the political argument. nothing better to go into the november election that obama raised largest tax in america on the middle class which 75% of t would have been. >> alisyn: between a rock and hard place. if that's a tax then romney care in massachusetts is is a tax. >> dave: not necessarily because a mandate by the states is legal. >> alisyn: thank you, governor. [ laughter ] >> you are right. >> dave: it. >> it doesn't matter. massachusetts law is massachusetts law. mitt romney is committed to getting rid of obama care because it puts something across the whole nation that was not decided by the voters or by the he auto elected representatives in a specific state. i think he just separates and says that's not the same
8:44 am
thing. that's how he gets around that. >> in terms of messaging as a whole. is mitt romney missing the mark? didn't really show a whole lot of passion yesterday regarding the jobs numbers. our boss rupert murdoch suggesting he needs to make some changes in terms of staffing, does he he or does he need just a new passionate clear concise message? >> i don't think it's about staffing. he has some people around him that are loyal and that he trusts. thankly in a campaign you would rather have people around you that make mistakes from time to time people that you know and trust and aren't going to be in it for themselves but in it for you, that's important. eric fernstrum is a loyal member of his team. is he not going to get rid of him. let me be quick, he shouldn't. he needs that kind of loyalty. i think it speaks well of romney that he is going to go ahead and keep him and not throw him over the side. >> the loyalty was in trying to prevent mitt romney from having to try to lay claim to attacks in massachusetts under romney care that he then says i never raised taxes in massachusetts but an individual mandate deemed by the court as a tax that i buy
8:45 am
because the supreme court ruled that i raise taxes. that was the loyalty. but the message was muddled. what struck people about this is they had months and months to get this message right how the supreme court would rule 1, 2, or 3 different ways. >> nobody saw this coming. >> that's true. >> not a single person who made any prediction saw that how it ended up was how it was going to end up. nobody predicted that. >> alisyn: you think he shouldn't make any staff changes? >> no. >> alisyn: should he make a personality change? basically what charles krauthammer was suggesting he needs to be more ideological. how does he rally, rally the audience more? >> there are times i think we all could say gosh, i wish he would just be able to look into that camera or look into the person's eyes and show that sense of connection. you know, that's not so much who he is in his public way. did i see it. when we did one of our -- we had the father of a soldier who had a traumatic brain injury and i saw a side of
8:46 am
mitt romney that was powerful. i really wish that that side of him would come out more often. he connected with that dad. it was dad to dad. t wasn't candidate. >> but it's rare, right? >> and powerful. here is the thing. i know he can do it. i think now sometimes the campaigns get so insular. they are so afraid the candidate will be too emotional. too out there. let him be out there. let him be who he is. you know, to people who are around mitt romney, they say is he a funny, a practical joker. i saw that side of him firsthand when we were in that forum in ohio as he looked and you could see moisture welling up in his eyes and it was genuine. it was pal panel in that room -- palpable in that room. that's the side of him that will win an election. then people will say he does understand people like me. >> dave: very rare occasions we see that emotion from mitt romney. >> i will throw a shoe and throw you some of it today. there you go. >> dave: 8:00 eastern time we are tuning in to huckabee

8:52 am
and i ended up in a boxing ring. and for me it was therapeutic. i could go down there and work out. release anger and frustration. and i just got into boxing and i found out that was a sport for me. >> and it was a different story for you, needless to say, josh. you grew up as we said. you hadn't seen your father in a number of years. grew up in tough neighborhoods at one point or another. what did boxing do to save you? >> well, boxing was, again, an outlet just like it was for coach here. sometimes you get merely frustrated. there is a lot of things you can't control. but it's great to be in a sport where it's one-on-one. it's a position where do you have control. and boxing gave me that opportunity to prove myself to defend myself. and. >> you really like the personal responsibility of boxing, which really makes sense to a lot jonchts i do. it makes a big difference to
8:53 am
me. >> that you have no one to blame. now this has bonded the two of you. talk about how it's brought the two of you closer together, rocky. >> well, i made -- met josh air force base. he came to see if he could work out with me. i just saw something in him. and we just started training. i talked about collegiate boxing. and. >> have you coached him into a champion. >> right. and two years, less than two years he is the national champion. >> rocky, you don't buy the characterization of boxing as some savage sport where two men just beat each other senseless. what is it to you? >> boxing is an art. i feel it's like playing chess. you're trying to score points without your opponent scoring more points. to me, it's an art. i love the sport. >> yeah, and, joran, again, growing up without your dad
8:54 am

9:05 am
job, but their unemployment numbers have gone up. the jobs dropped 406,000 just in june for new college grads. black unemployment up from 13.6%, to 14.4% and as we know, women we've been talking where men have lost their jobs, but the female unemployment rate kicked up slightly from 7.9 to 8%. . >> dave: it's a quarterly they think in different directions, we've crawleded 225,000 jobs we were averaging that every month when we got going with this recovery in 2012. so, it's clearly fallen off a cliff and maybe it's summertime, but clearly, not in the right direction. >> alisyn: meanwhile, your headlines and tell you what else is happening in the news. george zimmerman is waking up in a secret safe house after being released from jail on a 1 million dollar bond and hired a security team, we're told, using donations from his

9:13 am
about this, good morning to you, congressman? >> good morning, clayton. what do you make of this latest move by the doj, hiring this particular research firm? >> well, it shows its pretty desperate. anybody shows a good lawyer, trying cases. the last thing you want is a biased witness and expert and they go out and they hire one of the most biased groups and they say it right on their website, they're out to help the progressers, the socialists, whatever they want to call it, to achieve their goal and help by giving them whatever results they want and it furthers is a bit galling that they use taxpayer money in order to achieve that. but, it shows their bias and it shows that they can't find legitimate to support their position and if they look at the very best data business actual voting results like georgia, the two elections
9:14 am
they've had since they began to require a photo i.d., they would find that minority voting went up. it didn't disenfranchise them. it disenfranchised the whites, they ought to be loving this if they look at actual results, but then again, going back a few years to nancy pelosi's statement, she told illegals, look, you're the true patriots, the ones that need to take responsibility and i tell you what, clayton, it would scare me to death if i saw that my party was pushing to get criminal felons the right to vote and illegal aliens and legalize illegals and encourage them to go out and vote legally. if my party were hinging everything on illegals and felons voting i think i'd have to change parties. >> clayton: of course the democrats disagree with you on that and they say this is no different than the g.o.p. using other sort of or right leaning different research firms to support and bolster
9:15 am
their claims and here are some of those past messages out of catalysts in fact, how they've supported. president obama's 2008 presidential campaign research on that, this is part of the client list. the democrat governors association. the democratic senatorial campaign committee. eclu. pro choice america foundation and the texas democratic trust and the long list of clients they had there. >> it does point out exactly what are' indicating, this is a biased group and shows one of two things, either these are terrible people in court or their arrogance from chief justice roberts abandoning intellectual honesty, to avoid being called a political chief justice to abandon intellectual and the group, the results are skewed, it's a dishonesty and it's a shame that we're paying taxpayer
9:16 am
dollars to hire the group. >> congressman, the doj defending the group saying this, that i had previously conducted several studies using the catalyst data and i found that nearly all persons identified by catalysts and again, this is the group, white over hispanic identified themselves of the same race projected by catalysts and there's the defense. >> yeah, and i read that and that's as staggering as the fact that they use tax dollars with a biased group. the fact is, they say nearly all of them? what kind of survey group do they have. what was nearly, you know, with the cbo plus or minus 100%, as we saw with health care. to this group, nearly can be a devastating number when it comes to accuracy, it's outrageous, and i tell you what, it is a violation of equal protection and i think this time, maybe we'll have some ag's that will raise the equal protection argument that section five of the voting
9:17 am
rights act. violate equal rights protection, you have a majority of states, many of whom had districts with more racial disparity than any of those under section 5, it's time to throw out section 5, unless every state in america has to live under it, and i hope ag's will take, take notice and raise equal direction, so, unless chief justice roberts is again going to abandon intellectual honesty, get the section five thrown out. there he is the congressman from texas, great to see you. >> have a great weekend. >> up next on the show, he risked his life to save a woman from a burning home. but now a firefighter is catching heat for the rescue efforts. >> the important family dinner, is this a lie, a study finds that family dinners are overrated. is that true? dr. keith ablow is here next.

well, you probably heard that sitting down to dinner every night as a family staves off all sorts of teenage bad behavior. but, according to a recent study published in the journal of marriage and family, that's not necessarily true. the researchers, we found that following teenagers over a year, provided even weaker evidence for the cause or effect of family dinners on adolescent well-being, only the effect of family dinners on teen depressive systems held up. there was no affect on drug or alcohol use or delinquency. and following up on this is the medical a-team, dr. keith ablow. >> hello, alisyn. >> alisyn: we've heard for years that the family dinner helped teenagers stay out of trouble. how can the study which by the way, followed 18,000 teenagers debunk that? >> well, listen, i'm not sure it does debunk that, i think the researchers from cornell
9:23 am
and university of minnesota dent do justice, really, to the data. the data says this, in prior studies, it has been asserted, for example, that 18% fewer kids fall victim to drug abuse or dependence if their families are having dinner together during the teen years or during that point in time when this was measured. however, what these researchers did, they said, well, let's look at the families, if we start to take away the other qualities that are good in these families and say, well, maybe it's that, you know, they have involvement in sports, too, let's take that out. they say when they took out the other variables, it goes down 9% fewer of these teens have drug dependence or drug abuse and that's a huge number to say that you could sit down with your family for dinners and that 9% fewer of your teenagers will have problems with drugs is a managed results. >> right. >> that's after controlling for the variables. >> that's a plus. and they also find in the
9:24 am
study that it has no affect on delinquency, but again, that doesn't ring true because if your kids have to show up somewhere at 6:30 every night, doesn't that by definition make them less delinquent in other parts of our lives? >> well, it might and after all, they say when we take this out longer in time, the effect on delinquency really doesn't hold up. but, they say, but look, for depression, that one does, but that's no big deal, what? you can sit down with your family and have dinner on a routine basis and even though the drug peace may peter out over time and delinquency thing doesn't hold up, you mean to say that it will make people less depressed, that's a billion dollar result, that could save the nation billions in suffering and in financial costs. listen, i agree with the researchers, it's only as good to have family dinners as the families are, i treat a lot of
9:25 am
people who would have liked to have dinner with their families less often and they would have been better for it because the families were flawed. but in general, this research continues to stay cheap at the priss, sit down, talk to each other, look at each other in the high and do it on a scheduled, dinner. >> i see what you're saying, you're saying if you come from a dysfunctional family, family dinners are stressful. if you're coming from. >> absolutely. >> alisyn: a normally functioning family, sitting down to dinner every night does pay dividends. doesn't it just allow parents to keep an eye on the kids, if you're drunk or stoned at the dinner table, your parents notice those things. >> number one, it shows the kid these people care about me, they are providing to are me and even if there's silence you like to talk and secondly harkens back to a time when there was safety, right? the fire, you wouldn't make

9:32 am
does make aggression go up. even if you don't have sad, you think in general all of us, the depression, the clinical diversion, you get a little anger. >> do you notice it. >> dave: are you can kidding me? you know know. i can't stand that. and the researchers in the northwest, you should not make life decisions with terribly hot or humid. >> alisyn: tactical error. >> clayton: and yesterday morning, she, i think may have made the worst decision of my life. >> alisyn: and-- >> i might have added that. >> alisyn: ap maybe i shouldn't have made a decision in the summer. they say one way to combat that, stay hydrated. and that plays havoc with your brain, dave. >> and coffee all morning, massive coffee this morning. >> alisyn: all right. meanwhile, let's get to your headlines, and also, afghanistan, has declared the

using the two inch tape. >> this is the special blue tape and the lines-- >> and it has the edge lock technology and i'm going to do it quick and ignore mistakes, you can put it like this, and tear the tape and then overlap the next piece like that. >> clayton: the fun part, the painting. >> now you're ready for your second coat, you can do that. or you can it cut in with a brush, this is the darker color and this is easy, so you want to cut in here, so what you don't get with the roller, i can get here. this is pretty much it, cover up the tape and everything, how fast is this? when you're done with this, and-- >> exactly. >> and then you start peeling the tape away and look what happens. >> and it does, that tape

9:43 am
have adt's home security, but you weren't using it at the time. how did facebook, social media help you nab these crooks? >> well, i also have a video surveillance system and when they broke in, i got an e-mail at work showing a picture of the people coming up the stairs in our house. and at that point, you know, after we called 911 and the sheriffs came out i gave them copies of the pictures and also the video. and at that same point in time i started creating a facebook page putting all the video and pictures up there on facebook. now, they came by hitting our high school and college kids, my kids are in high school in brownsberg and in college and they started sending it out to all of their friends. somehow the sheriff's department decided to notify the media to try to get more support in identifying the guys that broke into our house, once they sent it out to the media it was on
9:44 am
newscasts and the facebook web page went viral. within two days, i had 5 or 600 friend requests and as soon as they all, i friended them all, that evening, the day afterwards, they were identified. >> clayton: amazing, the response you got on social media. rod, tell us how common is the story like matt's, is there in i down side, any danger to doing something like matt? >> well, first of all, i applaud matt for what he did. yes, this is an increasing trend, if you will, dave in terms of citizens getting involved. assisting police departments and mainly because many police departments as you well know, due to the economy, they don't have the resources to go after these guys, what he did was a good thing, but caution you, there is somewhat of a down side, that you need to be cautious about, but dave kind of avoided that, he worked closely with the police department. once you do get this video or once you get information as to who these individuals may be, it's important that the citizens work closely with the
9:45 am
police department, because, we don't want these bad guys, once they've identified coming back to try to go after the incident citizen, and so it's very important that they work closely with their local police department. >> dave: so though, matt, you kind of took the process in your own hands to try to catch these guys, how deceptive was the police department in working with you and taking the things you had gathered and then continuing the search? >> the police departments were all very receptive in helping find the perpetrators, with all the tips from facebook and the video cameras, they kind of viewed it as a win, a w, a slam-dunk. i did have several detectives lurking around on the facebook page and even some deputies from richard, indiana, they looked at the facebook page and posting photos around down in their station, too. >> that's amazing right now. my question is to the viewers out there this morning,
9:46 am
watching, wondering, how can i do what matt did. what are your simple tips, in terms is it a good idea to set up a couple of security cameras around the house as he did or what other tips for people to stay protected? >> excellent question. set up cameras at your main entry doors and back windows, set up cameras, those are the area we at the pointly see burglars break into. in addition, the audio in your home can help as well. once you get the video feed like i said, it's important before you put it up on facebook, fett in contact with your police department. and quickly dave, there's a police department in new jersey, and they've actually set up a website, called face crooks whereby they're using video just like the sape type of video that matt had and putting it up on their own website, which i think may be a little better. and again, continue to work with the police department, and i think it's a trend that's definitely up with the law enforcement.

decision, a choice, and second is based on goals and priorities and you have to make trade offs. >> clayton: and allowance is probably a good thing for parents help their kids manage money at an early age when you say allowance is not required. why? >> we did a survey of parents nationwide and one of the things we found is more than half those parents don't give their kids allowance a sometimes, people get so stuck in the allowance piece, kids are coming into money lots of ways and may be getting allowance, but they're having part-time jobs, and may be getting birthday money, other gift money, the conversation needs to be about what are they doing with that money. and are they setting goals? have you talked to them about making the choices? that's where the learning comes in. >> alisyn: your next advice is fascinati fascinating. i've never heard this, share your money worries. doesn't that just serve to worry those kids? >> well, we need to be age appropriate about it, but again, the survey told us that kids are picking up on disagreements between mom and dad.
