president wants to have a high brow debate about these policy issues and what the american people actually care about. that's from general. you know, of course, people on the other side of just laughing about this, because how high brow is it to go for the felony charge of your opponent? >> a swiss bank account, or bermuda business or whatever. >> alisyn: of course the president would say these are all important things to raise, the american public needs to know, if somehow their prospective presidential candidate is misleading them, but it's not exactly a high brow debate, if that's what they want to-- >> by no means. >> clayton exactly what i was going to say, reminds me of 2004 shall the swift boat still summer definition. i'm quoting their phrases. the smr of-- no, that's not-- >> work on this. >> clayton and after four hours on the show the audience

can help me. the defining summer. ap mitt romney hasn't been able to define himself. and that's an exactly what they did to john kerry and by the time he got around to it, it was too late. >> alisyn: and the president running on his own record, hitting back at his opponent and the high brow issues. >> dave: high brow issues like outsourcing. >> mr. romney's got a different idea, you know, he invested in companies that have been called pioneers of that sort. i don't want a pioneer in outsourcing. i want some insourcing. >> dave: that of course is not happening in a lot of the administration, if you want to look at the fact a lot of biggest corporations in the

united states under the obama watch have hired a lot more outside of the united states and if you want to look at outsourcing, companies he's accusing romney of investing in, that was while he was running the olympics. >> clayton and a spokesperson for the romney campaign, president obama continues it talk about both sides of his mouth and lamenting ads and his campaign is running a dishonest campaign, and deserve the truth and better from their president. >> alisyn: no wonder people are tuning out. this is where the season tot for tat, however, what mitt romney said in fact, oh, sorry, what the president said is that mitt romney is on the attack and mitt romney says that the president is on the attack and it sounds like actually both of them are attacking. >> clayton like an abbott and

costello routine. >> alisyn: who is on truth. the president outspent mitt romney on attack ads and-- hit hard. >> alisyn: he has aired millions of dollars worth of ads. here is the president speaking out about those attack ads. >> got a very simple message, you know what? the economy is not working, and it's obama's fault. that's their only message. they'll have variations on the theme, but it's the same thi thing. >> clayton they talked about, dave talked about the attack ads and he talked about colorado, virginia, ohio if you drive through the states you're going to be inundated with the ads. if you're living in a state trending blue, probably not seeing as many ads. and republicans don't think that mitt romney has been effective in his messages and defensive enough and fiery enough. scott walk down there at the governor's convention in

virginia talking about this, basically saying, that the president's team desperately does not want to run on his record, so, they are desperately trying to have it about anything other than his record. mitt has got to be forceful about forceful and fighting back. >> alisyn: he went further than that and not just fighting back, how it's time for mitt romney to articulate what his plan is. you can't just be on the attack and that's the-- >> that's the wall street article two weeks ago, for romney to put 0 ut an economic plan and a health care mrap besides saying that obama got us into this mess. >> dave: it's a big week for romney. you look potential for the vice-presidential selection week, if there were signals that that's pending and coming soon and maybe that's when you start to craft that narrative and that message and energize the party. we shall see. >> alisyn: and we have some headlines for you. >> dave: good. >> alisyn: right now. it's actually a fox news

>> welcome back to "fox & friends," whether taking texas to federal court over the new photo i.d. requirement or challenging attempts to curb voter fraud in florida attorney general eric holder says he's not backing down. >> this justice department's efforts to uphold and enforce voting rights will remain aggressive. [applause]. and in fact, i have every expectation it will continue to be effective. articles of american history has always moved toward expanding the electorate. it's what made this nation exceptional. we will simply not allow this era to be the beginning of the reversal of that historic project. >> history. let's put that in protect. joining us now is presidential historian, nick, great to see you as always. >> great to see you, clayton.

>> he says historically we've expanded the electorate in the united states of america, and do you disagree with that or do you agree? >> well, he's right. directionally we have. in 1965 lbj the voting rights act companion to the civil rights act which created a situation where southern states can no longer disenfran african-american voters. in the last 30 years it has expanded, but the last five or six years states have tried to crack down on fraud, a really big issue and attorney general holder is confusing those two issues. >> that's interesting, his point is that when you enact these voter i.d. laws that you're going to keep voters away from the polls, therefore, you wouldn't be exhibit panning the electorate, but we have some historical context. i want you to take us back in georgia in 2006 when they

instituted their own voter i.d. law. >> exact the opposite happened. in 2006 they did a voter i.d. law and what they saw was increased turnout, pre-and post, and from 2004 to 2008 turnout dramatically increased among minority voters. some would say that's due to president obama. if you look at the congressional elections pre and post, increased as well, 2006 to 2010. that's not to say between the law and it didn't suppress turnout which attorney general holder claimed was the case. >> clayton and made the case in the argument to the naacp, that this voter i.d. law in texas he likened it to southern poll taxes. if our audience doesn't know,

it's taxes to vote. would you say it's accurate? >> it's a difficult argument. the 1965 voting rights act tried to do away with poll taxes, litry taxes and even grandfather clausesment a lot of states have photo i.d. laws and there are lots of different i.d.'s from photo i.d.'s to passports and what not. you're trying to crack down on fraud. we've seen increase in fraud and most people aren't aware, in a lot of states you don't need a form of i.d. other than a registration card and most show that voter support. some form of voter i.d. to prevent fraud. so i think the attorney general is looking at the issue differently than 1964 and 1965 e. >> clayton i misspoke, he didn't say that to the naacp, he said that in arizona last week. correction on that. thanks for correcting the record. department of health and human

somebody is definitely going to bring a lawsuit and if somebody else isn't, i will. >> alisyn: will this proposed plan actually make it easier for people to not work? joining us is republican study committee chairman ohio congressman jim jordan. good morning, congressman. >> good morning, alisyn. >> alisyn: so you say that this new plan by hhs changes welfare reform as we know it, how? >> well, when you take away the work requirement, you're taking away that critical tough love component that's actually going to help people get to a better life and they're just doing this unilaterally. remember, alisyn, this is the law that bill clinton signed that's actually been helpful moving people away from poverty, away from the poor to a life that is actually one that allows them to pursue excellence and goals and dreams. this is completely unfair, it's unfair to everybody. it's unfair to them. that the tax paying family out there working and paying for

their kids maybe to go to private school and trying to save money for their kids to go to college. unfair saying your tax dollars can go to someone who doesn't have to work and i would argue it's unfair to families stuck in the system. it didn't give them the nudge they need, the skills they need to get to a better life and i think the only remedy is what tommy thompson said. take them to court because they've unilaterally done this and not following the laws of 16 years put in place. >> alisyn: before bill clinton signed it it was hailed as bipartisan effort to fix welfare as we know it. here is what the health and human services department says about the plan. hhs has authority to waive kleins with the 402. and test approaches and other than those set forth in section 407, including definitions of work activities and engagement. limitations, verifications procedures and calculation of

participation rates. this is a lot of government speak, but help us understand and read between the lines there what they're saying. >> well, alisyn, for 16 years, the law has been interpreted one way and it was clearly, i think, understood what this law meant. bill clinton signed it, it's been the way it's operated for 16 years and all of a sudden they're going to change it. here is the key point, this is not the first time this administration has just radically reinterpreted how the law is applied. we had this administration that said on the defense, we're not going to enforce that or the justice is not going to defend that law. we've seen what this administration did under the law. and recess appointment. and then we've also seen relative to cap and trade which didn't pass and now they're trying to implement. and now, here we are. work requirements and welfare laws in place for 16 years, so, this is one more example of this administration just ignoring the law and i think the only remedy is what senator thompson or governor

thompson said which is we're going to have to take this to court and i'm thinking what will happen before the election. >> alisyn: so it sounds like that may be the next step for republicans is some sort of lawsuit. congressman jim jordan, thank you for joining us and explaining this today. >> thank you. >> alisyn: who is calling the shots in your car? do you have control or your children have control in the car? your e-mails are pouring in. and plus, she's no ordinary granny. oh, boy, what she's doing to put some 20 year olds to shame. ♪ [ female announcer ] you can make macaroni & cheese

government spending and government stimulus doesn't work for young people, and we are going to have to pay 0 of in the future, we're left at a huge disadvantage and i think it's only going to get worse as obama care inmremented. there are plies controls that say we have to pay 45% more for the rest of the system. if someone wants to hire us, they have to pick up that cost, too, and harder to get jobs. makes it more miserable. >> dave: we saw the frightening unemployment rate, almost twice, 16.5%. you mentioned obama care, a lot of people were excited about the fact that they could stay on parent's health care until the age of 26. why you say that's one of the bad signs for those young voters in 2012. >> excited? i wouldn't say excited. and staying on your parents

$200,000, but in violation of criminal trespassing codes. >> clayton brings us to this question, is there a political agenda behind this double standard? here now is mike spencer, the coordinator of judicial launch.org and a retired phoenix police officer. nice to see you this morning. when you look at this, do you think there's a double standard here? >> well, judicial watch and certainly our community leadership partners here in phoenix, is seem to declare a double standard. in phoenix, if you're a christian pastor and break the law, you get punished. but if you're in phoenix and you're an occupy phoenix protester and you break the tlau you get a free pass, especially if your political agenda matches that of the city prosecutor. that's clearly what happened here. >> alisyn: why are the prosecutors going after this pastor? >> well, i think what's happened here, your a getting the rule of law when you're dealing with the pastor. it started as a civil offense, i'm telling you right now that

spun out of control to criminal charges, criminal contempt of court charges. if you're going to pursue the rule of law and take the chance to disobey the law, that's what you get. >> clayton oh, i'm sorry, mark. >> except if your political agenda like the occupy protesters, lined up with the city prosecutor and then he'll go and dismiss charges and give you a free pass. >> clayton here is what the city prosecutor had to say or the chief of the city prosecutor. came down to zoning and property permitting. anytime are' holding a gathering, as he does referring to the pastor, we have concerns of exiting the premise, if it came to fire and that's all it came down to. >> i don't disagree, there were legal ordinance violations on the pastors side, on the flip side in addressing the court the same city prosecutor refers to these dress passers as patriots op this, on par with sam adams and paul revere, he

praises their conduct while he punishes the pastor, it smacks of prosecutorial misconduct. >> alisyn: you're from judicial watch. thanks for coming in to explain it story to us, thank you. >> thank you. >> clayton more "fox & friends" in two minutes.

>> good morning, everyone, it's sunday, july 15th, i'm alisyn camerota. president obama says he's running to fight for the middle class. . >>, but we all need more-- i believe in a middle out economics, a bottom up economics. >> alisyn: wait until you hear what one democratic heavy weight says about that. he thinks that ordinary americans are in trouble. >> dave: did you ever wonder what's safe to eat an at a fast food place, clayton, didn't you used to work at one? workers revealing their dirty

secrets, seven things you should never eat at a fast food restaurant. >> clayton some will surprise you, by the way. a special salute to our heroes by team usa. we'll head to the court, to the b-ball court straight ahead. "fox & friends" hour two starts right now. ♪ the good ones. good morning, everyone, it's summertime, guys, it's time to vacation and you don't have a lot of vacation time. so use an astrologer to plan your vacation time and base where you should go on your sign. >> alisyn: they know our signs and tell us where we should vacation. >> clayton sounds a little hokey. >> alisyn: i'm going to my roots, ice cream scooping roots, and we are going to go out for ice cream and whip

them up. >> clayton and a lot of odd jobs, and bill o'reilly was also an ice cream scooper. let's talk about what the campaign is doing right now. president obama hitting the campaign trail yesterday and tried to drum up support, not taking the summer off. talking about vacation right now, the president, no sign of him going to martha's vineyard. and president obama spending too many on -- time. and the president talking about the economics, narrative played out, the difference between the way the democrats see checks right now this middle out economics the middle class out and the way that the republicans see it, he says. take a listen. >> so we don't need more top down economics. i believe in a middle out economics. a bottom up economics. i believe that when hard working americans are doing well, everybody does well.

that's been our history. that's been the evidence. that's why i ran for president, to fight on behalf of the middle class and those who are striving to get into the middle class and that's why i'm running again for president of the united states. >> alisyn: well, it's interesting. there's an opinion piece in the wall street journal by two operatives, james carville and sam greenberg says that the middle class is in bigger trouble than anybody is talking about. james carville says they are in trouble and they know they're in trouble. they're holding on or slipping, dealing with unemployment in the family, the overhang of debt and the loss of any cushion in life. people are scared about the rising cost of college education, many of the retired are now looking for part-time work and the salaries virtually frozen and a trip to the grocery store produces near desperation and he says

where is the presidential commission on this? now-- >> and crisis, they wrote a book together. like an excerpt in a piece he thinks that the middle class crisis in this country. >> dave: contrast what the president is saying, or support what he's saying and you could argue that's in support of what he's saying because the middle class is struggling. what the president is probably missing there, where are those job creators? >> he wants the bottom up economy, where are the jobs going to be created, not from government? >> right. >> dave: not from the bottom. job creators tend to be in the upward middle class or upper class. >> it sounds like james carville is saying he do nt think that the president has tackled this enough. >> clayton no, he doesn't. and a class warfare issue, too, there is an issue in the way in which, you know, if you do okay. if you've got a moderate paycheck and you're making 30, 40,000 a year, that those are the people who are hurt perhaps the most because they can't get the college grants

or loans that the-- those in poverty can get in the lower class get. so he believes that there's a middle area that has not been tackled by the government and in an effort to make it fair. so you're not having the classes of these people get cuts, these people get breaks and wants the presidential commission to try to fix this. >> dave: at least it's moving towards a philosophical debate and not talking about outsourcing of jobs and swiss bank accounts. at least this is about the economy, a philosophical debate we may begin to have. >> alisyn: we'd love to hear from you on this, you can find us all on twitter. meanwhile, let's get your headlines, a fox news alert right now. time may be running out for two americans kidnapped in egypt. the family says he's a diabetic and may need medical attention right away. lewis is a pastor from the boston area, on a missionary trip in egypt when an armed gunman abducted him in broad

daylight. and two others were kidnapped. the abductor a local egyptian apparently threatening to keep them captive unless his uncle is released from prison and he may take more hostages if his demands are not met. president obama trying to push the jewish vote, but apparently his campaign can't spell israel. and take a look at the invitation, for a fund raising event in pennsylvania. you can see it's held at a congregation, but spelled i-s-r-e-a-l. >> isreal. >> alisyn: and apologizing for the typo, and then violating irs rules preventing political institutions from-- and practice makes perfect. putting on a show to salute

our troops. [applause]. what a great sight at the hoops for troops event in our nation's capital and players held this for soldiers and a scrimage. and said the event was an honor to be a part of. >> to 0 walk around and see the troops around here, and talking to them, how happy they are, and how inspared. and not knowing that we're definitely inspired by what they do, it's a wonderful feeling for us. >> alisyn: he also plays basketball? >> what reality. >> alisyn: caramelo and la la or whatever. and they bring with them the olympic games in london. >> dave: and let's go to rick reichmuth who has the weather across the country. >> rick: it's going to be warm for a lot of people and a

hurricane, category 2 in the pacific, this is hurricane fabio. the atlantic earthquake had season, quick four storms and everything is a little calm, but we're at about july 15th, right here take a look at what happens on average, we start to see the peak around september 10th. in two weeks you see a rapid uptick in the activity. so we're still in hurricane season across the atlantic ocean basin, and be prepared for that. and keep again building across the central planes and central nebraska, iowa, wisconsin all kinds of heat advisories as well as across parts of pennsylvania, new jersey and delaware, and say it's going to feel like 100 to 105, on the increase over the next number of days. we'll see the showers pop up in the afternoon as the day heats up. it's extremely humid and allows the thunderstorms to fire. unernl to not exactly where

>> dave: right. >> alisyn: first of all, ordering a grilled chicken because you're supposed avoid cheeseburgers, fattening, trying to stay away and healthy choice. the dirty little secret. because it's so dry they squirt mounds and mounds of liquid margin and make it juicier, they squirt it on to the chicken so it's in the margarine. >> stay away from grilled chicken. >> number two, tuna and chicken salad sandwiches, to me, an absolute no-brainer to stay away, why is this one bad. >> alisyn: because the mayo is apparently added in equal parts as the tuna. >> that's why i steer clear of it. >> alisyn: and they say that the mayo is left at room temperature for extended periods of time. >> dave: i'd be in favor of bloomberg banning mayo not from the health aspect. >> clayton and my wife, too. number three i am familiar with this. this has been a long problem

for fast food restaurants which is the fountain drinks with ice. >> alisyn: why? >> because your filling up that big tub of ice, bacteria, all kinds of nasty-- >> it's already in the tub not the ice itself. >> clayton they dump it on top. . >> dave: go no ice. if you have the self-serve. >> clayton go no ice. >> alisyn: did you use the word slime? if not omitted it. >> clayton i omitted it. >> alisyn: they say that there's slime in the ice. and if you're having breakfast out there? >> could be. >> alisyn: everybody knows to avoid the salad bar unless there's a sneeze guard. >> dave: no question. >> clayton who eats a salad bar in a fast food restaurant. if you're driving through mcdonald's are you getting a salad. >> dave: this confuses me, i'm gluten-free, but i love the donuts. >> clayton other than the 400 calories and yesterday morning i was down at dunkin' donuts getting coffee for dave and i in the morning the guy saysle'

have breakfast, a large extra coffee with extra cream and extra sugar and blueberry muffin and glazed donut. >> alisyn: they say the oil, deep fridaying the donuts. >> dave: not a dunkin', baby. >> clayton and burger patties long have been the issues, most sprayed with ammonia to keep away from e. coli and sprayed with ammonia to keep the chemicals off. you're getting them-- what's wrong with burgee patties other than that. >> alisyn: they say they also just stay out under the warmer for a long time. and have the ammonia-- >> i take umbrage, i worked at mcdndz. 20 minutes they had to be time, 20 minutes gone, thrown out or taken care of. don't keep them there in a long time. >> dave: and what about the shakes. >> alisyn: they're made of shake mix rather than ice cream, and do you think that--

>> and it's ice cream day and baskin robbins and friendly's, they don't use a pre-mix, they use ice cream. you go to chipotle and fresh stuff and or in and out burger. >> dave: loving chipotle. >> alisyn: and going to fast food restaurants. mitt romney was invited and booked while seeking-- i'm sorry, he was booed while speaking to the naacp is the republican party actually a better fit now days for african-americans? there is a one theory. we have a guest to talk about this, actually a debate. >> dave: two in fact. another government agency going wild. reports that hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars were spent at the happiest place on earth. we'll talk to the congresswoman calling for an investigation next. ♪ [ male announcer ] what's in your energy drink?

our community has gotten worse. unemployment has gone up. crime rates done up and the school system is crumbling. look back when bill clinton worked with republicans on our policy, we did much better. >> let me list-- >> you know what they said about bill clinton, bill clinton is the west republican president many people said we've ever had and i'm a bill clinton fan, i love him. at the end of the day, i agree with angela, we need both parties vying for the black vote and vying for americans because i don't think that this whole liberal-conservative paradigm is working, so it's corporate vm against-- >> for the people. >> black unemployment is 14.4% according to the latest count. it's clearly not working. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having us. >> another government agency gone wild and a this time thousands of taxpayers dollars

>> welcome back. despite the gfa scandal, remember that one in vegas, another government agency is coming under scrutiny this morning. the national institute of standard and technology visited mickey mouse. the agency's annual fave five day conference at a lavish orlando resort miles from disney world may have cost millions in taxpayer dollars. though the commerce department says it only cost taxpayers $671,000. only. and the florida representative sandy adams joins us, provided documents from whistle blowers seeking a congressional investigation, thank you for joining us. >> glad to be with you this

morning. >> clayton are they denying they spent taxpayer dollars to go on this lavish retreat? >> as they're saying $671,000 spent. that's their numbers, but we're looking at the other documentation and i'm going to tell you, this is tax dollars at that they spent, federal tax dollars, hard working taxpayers' money on a lavish conference on the hills of gsa. unacceptable. >> clayton and congress arguing semantics, they say it was only, congresswoman, only $671,000, what do you say to that. >> i can tell you, only is an awful lot of money. and in the district that i represent, i can tell you the people here believe that $671,000 is a lot of money. a lot of money that could be placed into the centers themselves, and of manufacturing and central programs and centers

themselves, instead of being spent on a, well, a very nice conference at the very least. >> clayton the response has been from the nist, they say this, the manufacturing extension partnership at the national institute of standards and technology, which was the conference, held their conference in orlando at world marriott center annually since 2006 to provide work shops, training, no federal funds were spent on catering, entertainment or alcohol, any reception and entertainment paid for entirely by private sector resources. are they trying to paint a picture that almost all of this was paid for by private sector resources? does that wash with you? >> well, we're going to look into it and i've asked for the investigation because i believe we need an investigation i think it's complicated to the extent when you have they're matching dollars and mixed with federal dollars, they become federal dollars so i believe at the end of the day you're going to

see that this cost the taxpayer more than $671,000. and i think that only the investigation will tell. >> right, i mean, to be fair, the conferences have gone on for years under any kind of president, this has been happening, but it's -- is it a problem now, obviously, we're in measures of austerity and looking at the conferences department to department getting the blaerng checks. would you have a problem with the departments doing any sort of work shops that involve travel. should they be done in their own conference rooms. >> i don't have a problem with the work shops, this is an indicative problem with washington. this is that's wrong with washington. this is-- they think it's okay to have a lavish convention at the taxpayer expense. here we have an agency on the heels of gsa thinking it's okay and only, in their

estimation spending $671,000 of hard working taxpayers dollars when i have people in my district that are doing staycations instead of vacations and the problems in washington like this have to stop. this is not acceptable behavior for a government agency. >> clayton we see the beautiful palm trees, but of course, that's orlando, and bands playing music to you when people are having to stay home not making a summer vacation or out of a job and don't get a vacation at all. thank you for joining us, please keep us updated on the investigation. >> we will, thank you. >> clayton thank you. still ahead, one man feeling the pressure knocked off his feet after a tire explodes. oh, my, whoa. that looks like a mythbusters episode. one student stirring up controversy with a step by st

vote against it, too, senator joe lieberman, an independent who generally sides with either the democrats or the republicans, depending on the issue when it comes to the tax plans his preference is neither. and we know that now because he just said, quote, the best thing congress can do to restore economic growth and job creation is to enact a comprehensive bipartisan plan who balance our budget along the lines of the bowles simpson report. there's plenty of time this year to get this done if we want to, for this reason i will vote against both the esident's partial repeal of the bush tax cuts and the republicans plan to extend all of the cuts for another year. now, it's not all gloom and doom for the democratic leadership though because senator clare mccaskill says she fully supports extending tax cuts for families making less than $250,000 a year and supports them for families making up to a million if it was part of a compromise to reduce t debt 4 or 5

was meant to be a joke and positive response, but also a lot of comments on the original article got very nasty and i have people who found my cell phone number somehow and called me and i got hate e-mails, it was just-- i never knew it would get this big, so it was-- >> and a few more of your tips, dress and act classy, let the gent do most of the talking, impress his mom and even wrote, a southern belle is nothing, but a pretty face in pearls without a man to eat his cooking and appreciate her cleaning. why do you think it got so nasty? >> i think that-- i didn't write the article anything in think way it describes like the majority of people around me. i'm surrounded on a daily basis at university of georgia with ambitious mep and alike, but there are women everywhere not like everywhere, but you will find certain girls in certain places that do actually have this mentality and i think it got so nasty

because it's a sensitive subject women are academically equal to men and have the same drive and i think when they thought i was taking a step back in the wrong way it struck a nerve and if you took it seriously. >> alisyn: and yet, there are good tips there, when you say dress classy and impress his mama, those are good tips. >> of course you should impress his moms, but the majority of tips i would never suggest to try and find a husband, but i mean, yeah, be nice to his mom, that's true. >> dave: amber estes from university of georgia and tell guys how to snag themselves a smart rich woman. >> alisyn: yes. >> dave: i'm just saying, thanks. >> alisyn: thanks, amber, we enjoyed it, thanks for coming on. >> clayton coming up on the show, a strip club has set up shop right in a convent's back

heard that at a later date, but i didn't think that was going to happen. unfortunately, that did happen and as a community, we have been fighting for the closing of this club, to make sure it doesn't open. and the fabric of our community, it goes against everything we stand for as religious women. >> alisyn: sorry, sister, to interrupt. i want to ask peter, and then get back to you. are there laws against this sort of thing. >> at the beginning of this there was both a local ordinance and state law employment of this within a thousand feet of a place of worship. they repealed, but the state law, we believe and contend should prohibit the placement of this facility. >> alisyn: sister, this is obvious, but if you could in your own words, what do you fear with happen if this strip club begins operating night after night? >> well, there will be more violence in the area.

there will be more drug use and right now we see used syringes on the sidewalks and broken whiskey bottles. children pass through to get to the school and we don't want that, we want a safe community. we're holding them accountable, especially to representatives that they honor the family values in the area. this is already the 6th strip club in the area. >> alisyn: oh, my gosh. >> out of 5,000 inhabitants so we don't need another one, not in our back yard. >> alisyn: and quickly, what can they do? >> well, right now, we've asked the relevant government officials in the municipality to enforce the law, the local law, a state law, doesn't mean that they should not be enforcing the law. they've sworn an oath to do that and we've gone to the prosecutor and there's no any action, at this point this

appears we will have to fight suit on behalf of the sisters and other residents, to make sure that this does not operate. >> alisyn: good luck with your legal efforts and sister, please keep us posted as to what happens. and peter breen, thank you both for coming on. >> thank you. >> alisyn: more "fox & friends" in news two minutes. ♪ lord, you got no reason ♪ you got no right ♪ ♪ i find myself at the wrong place ♪ [ male announcer ] the ram 1500 express. ♪ it says a lot about you. ♪ in a deep, hemi-rumble sort of way. guts. glory. ram. you're entered for a chance to win a trip to the olympic gam for life. to cheer the summer athletes to new heights, starting in 2016...

fog, marshmallow, and then whipped cream and then the nuts on top and of course the cher cherry. >> dave: and unfortunately for ali we're going to have to talk politics before going back to the ice cream, we will be back outside, and we'll show you what is happening politically and this week could be huge week for the romney campaign and many feels this could be the week he selects his vice-presidential candidate and could provide a much needed jolt to the campaign. and we heard condoleezza rice and appears that name was shot down. >> clayton back and forth. >> dave: mainly because she doesn't want the job. and now some other names are emerging. some other names coming back into the fore. we heard about representative paul ryan and governor scott walker at the governor association meeting. saying the reason that paul is legitimately on the list of

vice-presidential contenders-- and they're looking at the short number of individuals, but representative ryan has long side he's not interested. he doesn't want to do it and you have to ask yourself. governor huckabee talks about this, right. it's one of the most worthless jobs in washington. you have no power really and he calls it being a spare tire, get pumped up and ready to go and he's right. can paul ryan do more in congress or more as a vice-president. >> alisyn:. >> well, depends on if congress can agree on anything, but in terms of steering the conversation, but providing energy into romney campaign that could be vital. because there isn't a whole lot of it right now. >> and rob portman has been bandied about in ohio and gave the g.o.p. weekly address yesterday. let's take a listen. the past three years or so we have a known the greatest challenge before us in the nation is an academy that's just not producing enough

jobs. president obama focused on growing government and try to remake the united states into the image of the debt laden countries of europe. his approach has been more spending, more regulation, and higher taxes, and measured by their own standards. his policies have failed us. we need to fight back, we're going broke. >> alisyn: so, obviously, he's talking about policies, does he light up a room in terms of-- if that's what you're looking for for your vp pick, i don't know. >> clayton and won't outshines. do you want palin who outshines you as a candidate. >> alisyn: therein lies the $64,000 question. style over substance, get both with a marco rubio, it's going soon. >> dave: and timing is key as we spoke to a former campaign advisor to president h.w. bush, if he picks him during the convention, it has to be sun that goes energize the ticket, a christy, rubio, maybe a kelly, and out of the

box. if a portman-like figure, it has to could many early. >> clayton do people not remember history? first of all, you don't pick your running mate like at the convention, oh, here is a shock and this person walks out on stage, it's done beforehand in recent memory done beforehand. back in the day people would choose for you, that's your vice-president over there. oh, he is, okay, welcome on in. you don't pick them the same time of the convention, a few weeks leading up, palin chosen a few weeks before the convention, look at jeb bush says you cannot pick an old white guy, we cannot be known as the old white guy party and he needs some diversity, will we see marco rubio, will we see a woman. >> dave: should be interesting to see. >> alisyn: a fox news alert. and some were held hostage in

egypt. one is a 61-year-old man, michelle lewis, a pastor from the boston area, who was in egypt on a missionary trip and his family says he could be in grave danger if he's not released soon. >> we know that the god that we serve is in control of the matter. the only concern that we have at the moment is that he is diabetic and as long as they hold him, i would assume that it's not going to work in his favor. >> alisyn: a 39-year-old massachusetts woman and a tour guide travelling with pastor lewis are also kidnapped. and they're threatened, unless his uncle is released. and a massive wildfire in northern california, moves in on 170 homes much the blaze called the robbers fire. burning about 50 miles northeast of sacramento, it's

already destroyed one home and spread more than 1900 acres, so far 20% contained. crews are having a difficult time assessing the fire through access, i should say, through the woods as hot weather and winds are fueling the flames. and florida republican governor rick scott celebrating what he calls a significant voting victory. the department of homeland security granting the state access to a federal data base of illegal immigrants living in the area, something that the florida election officials will use to monitor and catch noncitizens who are trying it vote they say. the obama administration had denied florida's request for the data base for months and finally gave in after the judge rules in the state's favor and colorado asking for similar access before november. well, the london city council giving bruce springsteen fans something to twist and shout about, but it's not good. ♪ ♪ twist and shout >> that cell phone video

tomorrow in minneapolis and today is your extremely hot temperature, chicago today and tomorrow hot. but it pulls off to the east, another hot and sticky out there, very muggy conditions in addition to that heat and it's dry. we are in a very significant drought across the country and 80% of the country has some sort of a drought going on right now and 40% of the country has at least moderate drought and unfortunately, areas of the east where the drought is not as bad. you can see stretch kind of through parts of mississippi up to the spine of the appalachians and we're going to see more rain and not exactly what we needed on either side of that. we will see scattered showers and thunderstorms across the east today. the day heats up and moves into a very moist atmosphere, and the thunderstorms. same goes across parts of the west where we've got very significant showers and monsoonal nature, across parts of the four corners and to your city, 102, guys? >> and funny, rick, and 100

degree temperatures. thanks, buddy, the president keeping up his attacks against mitt romney's record at bain capital. >> mr. romney has got a different idea. you know, he invests in companies that have been called pioneers in our sorts. i don't want to pioneer in outsourcing. i want some insourcing. >> dave: who are the tactics of politics as usual, or expect that from a sitting president. and here is joe, great to see you congressman, welcome back to the program. >> good to be with you again, thanks, david. >> dave: are these the types of issue that you as a former congressman like to hear about? we've heard all about swiss bank accounts and outsourcing, something in bermuda, off shore accounts. is this what the american people and a former

congressman need to hear about? >> no, it's not. the public doesn't like these kind of adjectives, they seem to work. you can see when president obama has taken on mr. romney portraying him as a heartless republican, that believes in capitalism and is secretive about finances pulled ahead in the polls, but the overall issue is this right now, at the end of the day when a candidate back in 2008 who promised us that we wouldn't be red and blue, we'd come together as americans, how well is he going to be able to govern afterwards? and i think that's what the president has to keep his eye on. i think he has a fine record to run on. he salvaged the economy gave us health care and as far as foreign policy, rightfully ended the conflict in iraq and turned us toward the western pacific and china and i think at the end of the day his ratings will be hurt, particularly as the campaign edges focusing i would say almost misrepresenting the character of his opponent saying he was associated with a felony at sec.

that may be more harmful to america, he may win, but be harmful to us. >> dave: reminiscent of the swift boat attacks against john kerry and yesterday you had one of the president's spokes people say this, talking to a gaggle of reporter. of course the president wants a high brow despite about the policy issues and what american people actually care about. why then, congressman is he not running on the record you just spoke of? >> i think because he's been in charge of the economy for a while and although the economy, kept us from sinking, he's still the captain of the ship and you are responsible when you're captain of the ship where for it is today. and mr. romney tried to portray him as being responsible for basically not doing better. i understand that, now, look, the other side, trying it characterize mr. romney, look this goes both ways, mr. romney has portrayed the president as being leaderless

overseas. in fact, i thought he's been pretty darn tough overseas and the fact, look, i don't care if you're not going after the al-qaeda in your-- i'm coming in with drones and we are going to get them. my point is this, on the whole he's got good things to run on and i think he should characterize mr. romney as far as his positions that may not help middle class americans. that's all right. in the longer term, this president will be better for us, as mr. romney would be, if he ran, if he not just portrays his adversary as someone who is out of touch, but actually shows why he's in touch with what needs to be done with america. >> dave: that's why we love having you on the program. thanks for being with us, we appreciate it. >> great to be with you again, thanks. >> dave: coming up, tens of thousands of iranian agents reportedly planning attacks on the u.s. while hiding out in latin america. the disturbing details coming up. and and how about reading the

in destabilizing activity around the globe, but overall, you know, my sense is that what chavez has done over the last years has not had an impact with that. we need to be vigilent icht your concern hiding some clandestine things behind the scenes or concerned with the president's statement, are we doing enough to keep our eye on venezuela? >> well, it's just not calling iran, the regime in iran a rational regime. i'm very concerned, and chavez, and ahmadnejad signed an agreement between iran and venezuela, along with the military in venezuela are establishing a base in venezuela. there are some that that's almost complete and most

mortgage to another mortgage company i was refinanced with so i was kind of shocked and everything. >> clayton charles, she's not your only case, to lock out the house, you stay her situation is unique why? >> hers is a little different because she got a double whammy. and her home was foreclosed on bank of america, a company that did not hold the mortgage and then do what is called a lockout, trashout. which basically they come in, without benefit of law and steal every bit of property in her house, change the locks and we have cases with both of those, one or the other, and tragically in her case, a classic example how totally out of control the mortgage foreclosure is in this country. >> you live with your four kids so you were out, the whole family was pushed out. here is what obama had to say

about this, we'll get you to respond. >> they said that bank of america did not receive information recording payoffs by some borrowers, as a result, some refinanced around that time remained inactive and bank of america is working to get the errors in the data corrected. what do you say to that? >> want me to respond? >> no, i'll have her and then you, charles. i would say that's untrue. they didn't -- had they had done their research correctly, i would not have been out of my home, i would be in my home today. >> what are you hoping to have happen? >> for some type of credit to be restored, some type of mental anguish, you know a lot happening since then, as far as my health and my-- just being out of a home, and a home that i paid my money

to, i felt robbed. and i gave my money to this company and they didn't do anything for me and to get thrown out, out of my home by another company that didn't even own the home in the first place. >> clayton yeah, charles, the final word. what can happen? can she get her home back and have her credit restored and her life back in order? >> well, i don't know if she'll ever get her life back in order. when these things it's a violation and shock to i call the victims. >> hopefully she can get some closure. right now, she is, believe it or not two foreclosures for the same house on her credit report and other payments are right on time. if i can respond quick, i know, bank of america is saying it was just a bookkeeping error, well, she had been calling them repeatedly. day after day. and telling them, look, i refinanced this house, you don't own the mortgage. it went on for months.

so, their story about a bookkeeping mix-up just didn't fly. >> well, guys, you know, we hope for the best and charles, please keep us up-to-date on the story. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> clayton and back on the show, another government agency throws a wild water. we'll tell you the story when we come back. a relaxing vaca. ♪ sometimes, we go for a ride in the park. maybe do a little sightseeing. or, get some fresh air. but this summer, we used our thank youpoints to just hang out with a few friends in london.

george h. w. bush and, the president is talking about a middle-out economic recovery and taxing the wealthy, what do you say. >> the whole model is wrong that obama has, if i may say, go back to jack kennedy the middle class is not at war and there is no reason to fight for the middle class. we are you all in this tub toge, john kennedy said no american is better off by pulling a fellow american down and we are made better off when any one of us is made better off and, ended with the famous line, a rising tide raises all boats and ronald reagan used that line in his campaign, how do you bring them up, it's not old versus young, black versus white, male versus female and we are all americans and you need to bring the prosperity back to everyone, it is not a war but a partnership and you don't do that by attacking the people who provide

it is all-out economics. everyone needs to have a better playing field and better economy. you cannot love jobs and hate job creators. it is as simple as that. and he's attacking the job creator and wondering why there are no jobs. it is selly. not logical. it is classic mistakes of politicians. >> clayton: we'll see as we head into the election system. >> by the way, i have a... i have one suggestion for you on what you should buy old and new, by the way. >> go ahead. >> you should always buy used antiques. >> clayton: used antiques. yes, it is very hard to get new antiques, though some stores... >> there you go! >> clayton: that is why we have you on, art. the genius! coming up next, a run done, while teachers across the country are forced to take a pay freeze as union bosses rake in the dough to the tune of a half million dollars a year and a group of veterans told to take down the stars and stripes from a bridge because it is a safety hazard.

>> alisyn: public school teachers across the country are dealing with pay freezes and possible layoffs. the heads of the two teachers unions are making big bank. each hauling in nearly half a million dollars a year while the average teacher's salary is about 3,000, $4,000. joining us to talk about this is wisconsin public school teacher christie lacroix. thanks for joining us this morning. >> thanks for having me night i don't have to tell you, you are in wisconsin and you know what a battle it has been for public

school teachers, who are facing pay freezes and, facing possible layoffs, so, what did you think when you heard how much the heads of the teachers union were making in salary, almost half a million dollars? >> actually i wasn't surprised. i have known this for a few years. it is that recently, the public has been made aware of what is going on and so it doesn't surprise me. i have no issue with people making however much money as a ceo of a company, if they make half a million dollars a year that is completely fine and they are held accountable to their stake holders and with public sector unions the money is mandated and nobody holds union bosses accountable and they create a wall between themselves and the members, the teachers, and try to say the teachers are treated unprofessionally and are the middle class and what they are really doing is trying to make sure teachers are seen and treated as laborers as opposed to professionals to main main

te -- maintain their relevancy. there is nobody who will tell them know. >> alisyn: the president of the american federation of teachers was featureded in the film, waiting for superman, he made almost half a million dollars with benefits and stipends and her pay was $493,0895 and he sad i and the other two atf managers took a voluntary pay freeze, because no one knows better than we do the economic distress our members are experiencing unlike in the corporate sector all of my salary, benefits and xek expenses are fully disclosed and she took a pay freeze at the $493 million ma-- $493,000 mark >> alisyn: if she truly

understands what her members are feeling, reduce the union dues. i pay $103 a month, i'm forced to pay into the union. cut that in half and it will be grocery shopping for me and filling up my tank, so, to me it is rhetoric and it is kind of running scared. because now the spotlight is being shined on what is going on with the unions and they should be afraid. >> alisyn: now, i'm sure the heads of the unions, i'm sure what they would say is they deserve the salaries, every day they are out there in the public, limelight, they are taking the heat an advocating for you, on your behalf and are trying to keep governors like scott walker from laying off teachers. so, does that entitle them to ten times the amount that an average teacher makes? >> no, and i don't remember ever receiving a sheet asking me what my thoughts were on that. and i can promise you, you will not find a teacher outside of the inner circle of the unions that was ever asked, because, to be honest, i don't see any returns coming from the union,

other than them getting fatter and richer. >> alisyn: you are a wisconsin public school teacher and we really appreciate you coming in with your perspective on this. >> i appreciate you having me. thank you. >> alisyn: thank you, coming up, a strip club has set up shop right in a convent's backyard and the nuns are, well, upset. we'll hear from one of the sisters fighting her new neighbors and who calls the shots in your car, do you or your children control? your e-mails are pouring in. we'll share those, next. ♪ ♪ i sweet little thing called love ♪ ♪ this thing called love ♪ it cries like a baby in a cradle all night...♪ [ male announcer ] it's simple physics... a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion. staying active can actually ease arthritis sympto. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain

country, and now one area of minnesota is told those flags have got to go. members of the palmer lake vfw posted the star-spangled banner on the town's overpasses for the past 8 years, and are just being told by the minnesota department of transportation that it is against the law. joining us now is the former commander of the palmer lake vfw and current commander of minnesota's department of the vfw. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning, sir. >> dave: they told you to take these down and you called for an explanation and said, can you make an exception for the american flag and you were astonished with their response, what was it? >> actually that we have freedom to fly anything and if we are to fly the american flag, what if someone came and asked them to fly the iraqi flag. >> >> dave: what did you say. >> i almost dropped the phone and thought it was outrageous and wanted to respond, i'm sure if i went to iraq i would be

allowed to fly the flag anywhere i wanted to, but apparently in america we can't fly ours. >> dave: astishing you would compare it to the iraqi flag, the minnesota department of transportation says it has nothing to do with the american flag but has to do with objects being placed on this bridge and we have to look out for the motorists' safety, that is our number one concern. what do you think about the statement? do you buy it. >> they do not, they've never at any point in our discussion raised anything about fety. there has never been a safety issue, the 8 years those flags have flown. >> dave: and they say perhaps they could come loose and some type of structure could fall and hit a driver? is that what they are drying to convince you of at this point. >> apparently so but i notice no engineer from the department of taps ever went out an viewed the brackets and viewed how they are attached and have no idea how we have done that. >> dave: it isn't just an kepgs

but it is happening all over the country. why do you think it is happening in more cities than your own, and why are people asking to take down or american flag? >> that is a very serious question. and, something that troubles me deeply. apparently, we have lost the love for our country and our flag, apparently we have forgotten that this is the united states of america. we are not a united country in the world, this is america, we should be free. to fly our flag anywhere we want to fly it. >> dave: what does the flag mean to you? night means everything. my father is a first generation american. he came to this country, he taught me love for that flag. i have had friends of mine that have died under that flag. and, believe they were fighting for that freedom. the whole part of what our flag means to us, was demonstrated 200 years ago when sir francis scott key wrote our national anthem, standing at the bulwark of the battleship, all night

long the british pummeled fort mchenry and patriots were dying and the british commander said all you have to do is take down that flag and i will stop this carnage. those patriots refused to take down the flag. continually people were dying. patriots would pick up where those people had fallen. and would take the flag and made sure that that flag flew all night. it is amazing to me that so many people died to raise the flag then. now, we have a bureaucrat that says you have to take the flag down. not a shot has been fired. i wonder what they would have thought. >> dave: at the bottom of your screen we're telling viewers there is a rally on the bridge, july 22nd. what is the plan and how can people join you. >> anybody that wants to come out with an american flag and, only an american flag, and, parade across that bridge as long as they could do not obstruct traffic and obey the laws, this is a very peaceful way we have a right in america

to show our support for what we are doing. >> dave: from the vfw, thanks for joining us and let us know how it goes. >> thank you, sir. >> dave: appreciate it. coming up, they are singing sisters and they are here to perform their newest song, to hit country charts, cold water jane, performing for us, next. ♪ patients will try and deal with it by drinking water. water will work for a few seconds but if you're not drinking it, it's going to get dry again. i recommend biotene. all the biotene products like the oral rinse...the sprays have enzymes in them. the whole formulation just works very well. it leaves the mouth feeling fresh. if i'm happy with the results and my patients are happy with the results, i don't need to look any farther.
