then came the humorous responses like that of actor and comedian steve martin who tweeted had dinnerarried a man. there was something about that sandwich. then there were the reactions that went abridge too far. christine quinn president of the city council here in new york suggesting that maybe restaurants whose owners had views she disagreed with shouldn't be here in the city at all. i haven't seen her suggesting the catholic church leave town even though its views on similar sex issues mirror those of chick-fil-a's ceo. "the new york times" rapped her knuckles for her position. the folks whose views are at odds with mine or yours of course have the right to run their businesses as long as they comport themselves in accordance with the law. they shouldn't be prevented from opening their shops and selling their wares. government has no business telling them what to think or how to proselytize but we as consumers also have every right to take our dollars somewhere else. so much for the chicken sandwiches i used to love. and while we're at it, there are a couple of other companies we

it reminds me a little bit of steve martin's book how to become a millionaire. first you get a million dollars. this is an assumption saying that we think that we assume people are going to pay more. if you look the fact is that allowing for greater competition. by the way, the first choice, the first option in those options for those again age below 55 would be to stay in the current medicare system as is. but the fact is when you look at where this comes from the origin of this it dates back to a bill clinton appointed medicare saving commission that was is bipartisan, brought forward and in fact was put in a proposal by ron widen and paul ryan because people understand the reforms will make the program more efficient and save it for future generations. >> chris: the nonpartisan group says that under the premium support plan that medicare beneficiaries will bear a much larger share of their healthcare costs. >> we reject that and don't believe that is accurate. >> chris: what about the argument this is more of a campaign political issue that you hear from some

david martin reports it's happening more and more. and steve hartman "on the road." if you paint it, they will come. >> look at that mob! captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. >> schieffer: good evening, scott is off tonight, i'm bob schieffer. hardly a day passes that we don't show you pictures of the great drought of 2012. but the government put out a report today that brings home just how severe it really is, and it's not just farmers and stockmen who are affected. it's going to mean higher priceses for everyone. nearly one quarter of the country is now in extreme or exceptional drought. today for the second month in a row the agriculture department said that means corn and soybean production will be down again. corn down 13%, soybean production down 12%. beef production will also be down 4%. what this means, of course, is that as food production goes down, food prices go up. anthony mason is covering this story. >> reporter: the worst drought in half a century sent corn prices to a record high on the floor of the chicago bo

jonathan martin, senior reporter at ""politico."" stevets, long-time "new york times" correspondent, prompt professor of public afirs at the george washington university. how much pushback are you getting from the romney campaign as you and other journalists raise questions about his record? >> not a huge, significant amount. i think they expected the scrutiny to come. they have put in place a staff, though, of folks around ryan which i find interesting. two of the aides, former capitol hill aides. the romney folks i think have put folks around that can explain some of the details about his budget blueprint that perhaps the typical campaign operative couldn't quite digest. so i think that to me is notable. but the pushback has been less about ryan, i think more intent on -- more intense on the general issue of medicare and want reporters to know we're not going to take this lying down. in fact, we're going to go on offense about what president obama would do to medicare under the acl -- >> i want to circle back to. that first, steve robert

[ laughter ] >> jimmy: you would be against that? >> arie is a good buddy of mine. >> the first night we walked into the house, we sat on the couch and i looked around the room at all the other guys and i said, arie, it's going to be us, the final two. the final two, me and arie hanging out. >> jimmy: you found two of them on the show. >> that is weird. no, he is great. >> i get it though. >> so you -- y

steve: all right. now back to our fox news alert. rocket shrapnel hitting the plane for the joint chiefs chairman at bagram air force base. general martinexplosions and now joins us on the phone from baghdad where she's just landed. good afternoon to you. >> hi, steve. we have been traveling for the last few days with general martin dempsey and we were awake last night, about to do our report for special report and it was late after midnight, afghan time. we heard two loud explosions and the whole base at bagram went into lock down mode. it was a few hours later that we learned that it was likely a 107-millimeter rocket that there was two of them fired. some of the shrapnel from the rocket hit around the door to the plane, the c-17 plane that we had been traveling on with general dempsey. general dempsey was asleep at the time. i'm told that actually he told us that he woke up. his aides told us he woke up with the first rocket. then went back to sleep and slept through the second air raid siren and second incoming. but he was never in any danger. it was far from where general dempsey was sleeping at the time. but again, two loud rocket

steve: nicely done. a big international contractor is lockheed martin. >> world wide. they have a branch here in this area around the saratoga springs area. so i wanted to highlight them. we talked about them on "fox & friends" because obviously they are a global company and they're always having turnover. they have 120,000 people world wide. 6500 openings right now. they need people that can do i.t., engineering, program management, lockheed will be an interesting name to watch in the next few months because of the changes with the defense department. >> steve: also tell us about vitabur and associates incorporated. >> they're a recruiter. there is a good reason i brought these guys to you because they are ruly to in-source engineers. what we have seen in the last few years is a lot of engineering positions that have been sent overseas. they want to bring engineers back to this country. that is what they're trying to do. they've got 42 direct positions opening with them and 300 engineering openings that they want to send to other companies. salary range
