this that is part of the paul rhine appeal. he's one of the best spokespersons on the republican side who takes a complicated issue and put a plan in place and deliver a message that american people can hear. why it is that we got to address the issues and why it is that private enterprise is the answer and why the obama plan hasn't work. you will see a detail oriented campaign and one that has a good couple of mess ages to it. >> thank you. it was a good discussion. we appreciate it. >> and don't forget to check out with the panel plus. fox news sunday.com. make sure to follow us on twitter fox news sunday. we'll be right back . has helped fund economic and environmental recovery. long-term, bp's made a five hundred million dollar commitment to support scientists studying the environment. and the gulf is open for business - the beaches are beautiful, the seafood is delicious. last year, many areas even reported record tourism seasons. the progress continues... but that doesn't mean our job is done. we're still committed to see

on many days now, this french farmer ferries his tractor across the rhine to work his cornfields on german soil. the breakdown of borders here is an example of supranationalism. although some people seek political union here, others are not willing to give up sovereignty. the primary benefit is economic development and free trade. but in the german fields of our french farmer, a new battle rages at a global scale. most countries belong to the world trade organization, which seeks to reduce tariffs, quotas and other barriers to international commerce. so when european nations blocked the import of genetically modified american crops, the u.s. cried foul. just as the world now experiences globalization, an opposite force gathers new strength. not surprisingly, it's called "localization." a key part of geography is to understand the culture, of many people and places rcepat a local scale. the green area in this satellite photograph is farmland in holland. but as you zoom back to a national scale, the areas of purple-gray reveal some of the densest urban settlements in the world, a horseshoe o

. >> no one expected it on the upper rhine. geologist's were looking for subterranean hot springs to use for a geothermal power plant, but what they found just by chance was an oil field. tank trucks carry away the black gold 36 tons at a time. geologists estimate that the field contains recoverable reserves of 8 million tons or about 50 million barrels. that is not huge by international standards, but it is a substantial contribution to germany's energy needs at a time of soaring oil prices. >> all the geologists' were surprised because no one expected to find oil in these layers. that is especially the case because we thought the sandstone was not porous, but the present results show that is not true. oil comes directly from the reservoir, and it is under high pressure, which means right now, you do not actually have to pump the oil. >> the pressure of the oil is so high that if you remove the valve, a 10-meter-high gusher of oil would shoot up. a french utility is operating the oil field. rivals had refused to take the find

wolf, i'm joined now by stan ryan, tobin ryan and janet rhine two brothers and one sister of paul ryan, the vice presidential nominee and their respective wives and husbands and kids, and stan ryan, you were telling me a few moments ago. what was going through your mind when you saw your brother up on stage there? >> well, it was paul, if you will. he's just so natural as what he does. he's just so all-in committed to the cause, to what he's doing. he believes, we believe. and he's going to follow through. >> okay. and janet let me ask you. you're the oldest. i understand. they told me that, i don't know. i didn't guess that. i'm just saying. janet, tell me was paul ryan always this way as a youngster? was he just as incorrigible as he is now? >> he was. but he's always done what he thought needed to be done. he's kind of -- he's led by his convictions. he's continued that today. >> and did you think one day my little brother is going to be vice president of the united states? >> no, i never did. >> this is a shocker for you? >> it was a surprise. >> was he good at ordering you around

congressman rhine - ryan is bringing a clear vision and adult approach to solve the nation's problemshat from the president and his team. >> you heard that paul ryan will go out on the battle state of iowa. guess what. president obama will be in iowa. he has a three day bus tour. you will have the new vp pick and the president of the united states battling it out directly. >> that is very interesting. thank you very much. ed henry live from the white house. >> governor mitt romney getting a major fund raising booth. raising approximately three and half million dollars win the first 24 hours. a new coup for the mitt romney campaign which raised a 100 million in the month of july alone a stark contrast to president obama's campaign that brought in 70 million in the same month. governor romney faces a new challenge how to distingish his own economic plan from that of congressman ryan. democrats will no doubt zero in on that as they prepare to battle the romney and ryan ticket. steve, what is up? >> mitt romney's choice of a running mate puts a finer focus on fiscal matters and entitlemen

rhine but people who put dirt on their own property with of wetland violations in. you should not lead to people in jail for regulatory crying. there was a difference between criminal law and tort law review intended to kill somebody if you accidentally killed somebody there is a man in jail from southern mississippi 10 years without parole for putting clean fill dirt on until low-lying area of his land. we have gone crazy. the clean water act says you could not dump pollutants. i agree. no chemical company which should but putting dirt on nearly and is not the same. >> host: are these issues you have dealt with? >> i brought up the family from idaho $75,000 per day fine they could not build on their land. there is not rainwater but they were told it was a wetland. look at the website. they said it is not perfect. another family was raising rabbits fined $9,000 but it was the rahm license. they said pay us within 30 days on your credit card but if you don't the fine is 3.$1 million. these should make american of bad. big government run amok. >> host: your biggest fr

democrats are waging war on the mitt romney/rhine roin ticket.ere is the latest webate from the dnc. take a look. ♪ here is a story of a man named roam -- romney. ♪ he how he taxed the rich like his buddy. ♪ here is a story of man named ryan who was busy with a budget of his own. ♪ fixing medicare. >> humorous look from the brady bunch. and mr. mayor thank you for joining us today. >> good to be back. >> talk about an ad. is that an attempt to show from your view that the romney bunch is it a bunch that you guys don't care for or republicans should trust. >> it is underscores that roam roam to get a nomination he sided with extreme parts of the republican party to get the cash, he sided with thos in the top end. and you really wonder what mitt romney is. you have to tell by who he is around and that is not an encouraging site. >> those who are looking at the obama bunch. they are supporting the president. people like nancy pelosi and the senate majority leader harry reid. are not doing too well with the public either. and you match up teams like

at the end of the day allot of rhine's proposals are about big changes and asking questions that need to be asked. medicare needs reform, we need to look at social security but at the end of the day these things still threaten benefits that people to vote today received >> is a huge voting block when you talk about people concerned about medicare. is that the wise political move for him to be trying to reform that system? that is the question >> you need to ask those questions, and democrats do as well but one of the things i think republicans miss the point on is that it is not easy to change these kinds of programs and still maintain political power. seniors are a very powerful political group. the american association of retired persons is an enormous lobby and seniors are as diverse as any other group but on issues that affect seniors, but they vote in lockstep and they give money to campaigns and their turnout numbers are huge and they study the issues. you go against that group at your own peril in this country. many of the proposals that ryan is putting out will threaten senior

paul rhine talked about saving medicare and stopping the raid and not treat it like a piggy bank . mitt romney talking about the to importance of domestic energy what did you have from them? joe biden in virginia thinking he was in north carolina talking about putting y'all back in chains. and president obama doing an interview what super power he would have if he was a super hero. we want a serious campaign about real issues. we will win that debate and they are trying to avoid that debate >> chris: couple of questions on running mates. you think you can make joe biden an issue. >> i think the obama/biden. >> chris: i am talking about joe biden. >> i think joe biden makes himself an issue. when you look at his rhetoric. and look at the stream of attacks from joe biden versus the serious proposals that are put forward by mitt romney and paul ryan. i think there is an informative contrast between the two tickets and approaches. >> chris: looking back in the first week, what specifically do you think that paul ryan has done for your campaign? >> he has helped to reenforce the debate

right now. 39 percent of voters nationwide have a favorable opinion of rhine. 29 percent unfavor and independent voters most don't know who he is and opinions are soft. there will be a battle to define and introduce paul ryan. >> how hard do you think those numbers are scott in deepest darkest dolled rum of summer and most of the country is on vacation and longing to be and they don't pay attention to the convention . will this make a difference? it matters in the next few days? >> it will make a difference in terms of the way the narrative unfolds. if the romney campaign say it is a small town guy who suggests that the campaign is really committed to cutting spending, that would be a big plus. if he's seen as a tool of corporate america that would be a negative. in terms was shifting voters not having an impact . not committed voters. they are simply not paying attention to the campaign at all. >> obviously it creates a buzz at a time when governor romney needs a buzz. but election cycle. people don't vote for the vice-president they vote for the nominee for president. how much diff

george rhine closer to freedom tonight or is he his lawyer tells us he will be released to a halfwayry 6th months before his scheduled prison release date but another former inmate dead politician says that will barely be a step up from prison life. for me i did not like that at all. worse than life on the inside is almost impossible to believe. the fact of being locked in again the lock on the one door, your freedom is still not there, she would know the former cicero town president arrived at the salvation army halfway house in february of 2010 greeted by a throng of cameras it's the same place the former governor ryan is headed to on january 30th according to his lawyer after serving more than five of his six and a half years behind bars on that date to he should be transferred to the work- release program might understanding is that would be in chicago and the salvation army where many other federal prisoners have spent their time many others including the former chairman congressman dan former alderman reynolds, all guests at the salvation army residential reentry center. as of
