>> wait until you see the rest of that conversation on "america live" right now. shannon: fox news alert, conflicting reports on a meeting that could have a huge impact in the debate over the plan for a new mosque near ground zero. we're getting brand new reports that new york governor david paterson is planning a push to convince the ima mft of the proposed islamic center to move it to a different location, earlier today the executive director of the american muslim society weighed in on the nationwide debate over building the mega mosque in what would have been the shadow of the world trade towers. >> we at the muslim american society are determined to defend the religious rights and freedom and any encroachment against the cherished principles of religious freedom for all people, not only muslim. we do believe that the first amendment of the united states constitution is sacrosanct. shannon: james, the debate continues. >> reporter: more than ever. minutes ago eric shawn shoak with sharif el gomul, ceo of soho properties, the co-owner and codealer of the controversial park place site two blocks north of ground zero, he contacted el gamal because the post reported this morning that david paterson will be meeting with imam feisal abdul rauf. gamal sold shawn that there are no plans for such a meeting, park 51, which is what the area is calling itself, hosted that the project is, quote, moving forward. "the washington post" based its report on a phone call that was purportedly made from governor paterson to new york congressman peter king, the republican from queens, who explained during an appearance on ""america's newsroom"" yesterday why he thinks imam feisal and soho properties should entertain alternate locations. >> with rights come responsibilities and there's a responsibility on the part of the muslim community to realize the hurt and pain this is causing and this will be an ideal moment for both communities to begin a dialogue as to whether or not the mosque should be moved to another location. >> reporter: at the national press club, an inter faith group of religious leaders washed it about the road it would take us down if family members were allowed to control religious worship. at this event an imam spoke out on last night's comments by senate majority heard harry reid, a democrat locked in a tough race for reelection and urged the properties to find an alternate location. >> i think it speaks to the worst in terms of politics, to try to use that issue to advance maybe aspirations for the white house, maybe trying to retake the senate, or the house of representatives, or people who are already in the is thatat, maybe the majority leader of the senate, you know, trying to keep their seat. >> reporter: another late breaking development just minutes ago, fox news spoke with the office of house minority leader, john boehner, the republican of ohio, and we confirmed that despite the fact that mr. boehner is a strong opponent of park 51 he plans on going forward with a scheduled appearance this friday in upstate new york at a fund-raiser on behalf of gop congressional candidate there who supports park 51. so as you see, shannon, this issue is splitting politicians in both parties, in all different kinds of ways. shannon: it absolutely will and i'm sure it will continue. james, we know you're on it, thank you. with talks that governor paterson may be reaching out for a meeting this week, we have reached out to him, we are hoping he's going to join us in the next hour or so. also we talked to the woman who's the unofficial spokesperson for the families of 9/11 victims in just a few minutes, deborah burr listeninggame lost her brother on 9/11, the pilot of the plane that crashed into the pentagon. she weighs in on the latest cents from the president, and the muslim american society. that's coming up. fox news alert, the white house now weighing in on a bloody homicide bombing in baghdad earlier. vowing this new round of violence will not slow the country's transition to democracy. the massive blast taking place at a military building in downtown baghdad. at least 60 people report -- reported dead, 125 wounded as well. police say the bomber was standing in line with the victims. they were all there, preparing to join iraq's security forces. coming up -- some were still clutching job application necessary their hand. iraq's government is blaming al-qaeda for this deadly attack. we know china's economy is getting stronger, it is the second largest in the world and now the pentagon is very concerned about china's military firepower, especially its growing development of brand new high-tech weapons. mike emanuel is live at the pentagon. mike, we've been waiting for this report. how do we know how this plays out in terms of how it affects us at the u.s., now that we're getting a look at china's military strength? >> reporter: the pentagon flat out says, shannon, that the chinese are using their economic strength and beefing up their military. what this means is when americans are buying chinese products, they're taking some of those dollars and pouring them into weapons systems. i asked one expert what this all means. >> i think big picture for the united states, it means that we have a peer competitor. this is a country that has made it very clear that it wants to dominate not only its region but the rest of the world. and the question is, what are we going to do in response to that report. >> reporter: he points out that while the war in iraq and the war in afghanistan have been counterinsurgencies, we might also need to keep an eye open on an emerging superpower, shannon. shannon: mike, what is some of thed behind this latest report? >> reporter: well, they say that the chinese are number one in the world right now in terms of developing cruise missiles and ballistic missiles and we've seen some of them on parade, there's been talk about development of a missile that is capable of perhaps sinking an aircraft carrier, they're working on developing their own aircraft carriers, so there are strong indications that the chinese not just want to be able to be strong in their neck of the woods, that they want to be a dominant power in that region, they also want to be an emerging superpower around the world and perhaps want to influence diplomatic situations by saying we don't have to listen to you, we've got military might, shannon. shannon: mike emanuel, live at the pentagon, thank you very much, mike. the stimulus bill, reaching a milestone. it was signed 18 months ago today, to boost our economy. on february 17th of last year, president obama signed a $787 billion package. on july 19th, vice president joe biden, telling those waiting in the unemployment line to, quote, remember, we're only 140 days into this deal, it's supposed to take 18 months. all right. now, 18 months later unemployment is standing at 9.5%. six point five million americans have been unemployed for six months or longer. and 17 states have an unemployment rate of 10 percent or higher. a little short of what the stimulus backers were promising. eric bolling, anchor of "money rocks" on the fox business network joins us to talk about it. eric, are you surprised at all we're 18 months in and at this point? >> 18 months has gone pretty quickly. here's what a trillion dollars of stimulus gets you, the way it came up with a trillion, is $787 billion when they signed it, the interest, the payments on it, brought it to 862 billion for stimulus alone and there were those other spending issues in between. basically a trillion dollars of stimulus. here's what we've gotten. 3 1/2 million jobs have been lost in the economy since that day that thing was passed. i don't care how mr. obama wants to say it, the bottom line, we track this, the bureau of labor statistics tells us, 3 1/2 million jobs, goodbye, 21 percent of homes are under water, that means you owe more on your home than the home is worth. that's not too good. the only good news is, if you don't like it, you have november to change it. i can go on and on, unemployment, 27 million people underemployed, home prices, falling off the table. foreclosures, record high. so whatever we were sold, we were sold a bill of goods. remember this, 8.5% unemployment was going to be the absolute max, if you just give us this $862 billion stimulus package. we're stuck at 9 1/2% for a very long time. shannon: and they had said, we know the document was put together for the administration, if we have the stimulus, it stays at 8 1/2%, that's not played out. the stimulus money, there are a lot of zeroes on the note card. >> i can hold it up. shannon: and you bring your own cup, that's nice! lots of zeroes there. lots of money has not been paid out. >> it's not been spent. this is really crazy, shannon. this has what happened, there's about $100 billion that's not been spent yet, yet we pass $34 billion in entitlement spending in the form of unemployment extension insurance, we passed $26 billion to help teachers and help the states and help teachers, specifically, and we just passed a $3 billion home mortgage for people who are under water on their mortgages. their passing more spending bills, so we haven't spent -- haven't spent the trillion dollars we gave them. it makes no sense. by the way, it's not working so how about stop spending? shannon: hope somebody is listening. >> hey, i'm following the money trail of the mosque tonight! shannon: great, 8:00 eastern, thanks. you can catch eric every single night on the fox business network, "money rocks", every weekend, tonight, the special on the funding behind the mosque proposed for ground zero. the families of 911 victims weighing into the ground zero mosque. today, coming up, my powerful conversation with deborah burlingame, why the white house should be paying more attention to prosecuting the man responsible for the killing of her brother. and responsible for the killings of thousands of people. plus, how did more than 120 people walk away from this crazy wreckage? remember the pictures yesterday? the answer from one of the passengers who survived what is being called a miracle plane crash. and in three minutes, republicans unleash a hard hitting political ad, a lot of satire there, attempting to show how the party in charge really feels about its president. leslie marshall weighs in. shan fox news alert, we're getting word there may be an toned a hostage taking situation at an embassy in tel aviv, the associated press is reporting a man is taking hostages or did in a turkish embassy in tel aviv after shots were fired outside, a newspaper has identified the attacker as a palestinian who tried to seek asylum at another embassy four years earlier. we'll have a live report on exactly what's happening, just ahead. republicans unleashing a new political ad to go along with president obama's multi-state mid-term fundraising trip. the job approval ratings are down and many democrats seem to be distancing themselves from the president. the rnc's political ad taking a cue from the infamous jetblue flight attendant incident. here's a bit of the ad. >> passengers, immigrants? we're about ready to depart d.c. and go online to a national fundraising tour to your home state. that's right, i'll coming to your home town. >> the president's approval rating at an all-time low, a lot of democrats won't want him anywhere near their district. democrats who kind of were afraid to be who they are or who are pushing back, i think they're crazy. it's a three-day trip from milwaukee to los angeles to seattle to columbus to miami shannon: leslie marshall is a syndicated talk show host and fox news contributor joins us to talk about a possible break in the democratic party. good to see you. >> you too. shannon: what do you make of the ad? you know republicans will not waste an opportunity to show there are those putting suggested distance between themselves and the president >> cute animation on the ad. no, unfortunately, we're seeing more and more of this mud shrinking on the left -- shrinking on the left and right and more unfortunate to the american people and a reflection of the american voter is how successful the mud shrinking has become. it is typical and quite frankly, dug the past two presidential administrations, bush and clinton, it is not uncommon when a president's poll ratings, numbers are low, especially during a mid-term election, for those in their party to stay away. this isn't anything new and it's not very surprising, nor are the mud shrinking ads coming from the right or some from the left as well. shannon: political ad season is always fun. it's entertaining, if nothing else, despite what side -- side of the aisle you may or may not be on. some ads say tough on immigration, i'm a bible reading, gun toting kind of guy but they don't mention that there are -- they don't want to be labeled that way. what do you think that says to washington? >> i think that's reading things. you know, knowing we would talk about this today, i wanted to go look and there are certainly republicans that aren't saying i'm running for whichever position, whichever office, i'm a republican. most lem know that, they have their little d or r parenthesis next to their name and for crying out loud, it's our responsibility as voters not only to know what party these people are running for but what they're running on, in addition to how catchy their ad is or how great a sound bite when they're saying in the ads is. shannon: let's take a look at the fox dynamics poll, does president obama hurt or help dan yaints, hurts, 44 percent, helps, 38 percent, 8 percent, neither, but the general public, the registered voters, think the president is a liability. you know, i can't imagine how the white house feels about that at this point. >> once again, when you look at these poll numbers and perception is reality and the perception is, okay, poll numbers are down, he's going to hurt our candidate, he's going to hurt our party, so i'm not surprised to see the poll results of 40 percent in align with the poll numbers of the president. additionally, we also have, if you notice, for example, from the state of georgia, people saying to sarah palin to stay away because she didn't help their candidate, so i think it depends on the district and certainly depends on who is running and what they're running on. there are some democrats that in a more blue dog constituency that feel they're going to be harmed than help by the president more and that is typical in a mid-term election. shannon: we saw that senator feingold said he had no qualms about being seen with the president so i guess it depends on the race, the candidate and the issues as they play out. leslie, great to see you. >> thank you, great to see you. shannon: while you watch america live check out our brand new political blog, foxnews.com/hq, that stands for america's election headquarters, this is your front row seat to politics. we're covering everything -- covering everything across the country. fox news is america's election headquarters. we're ten weeks from the mid terms now. lots of questions about whether our troops overseas will get their fair chance to vote. peter johnson, jr. will detail how states may not get ballots out to soldiers and whether anything can be done legally to change that. >> an incredible picture, mother nature gone wild, a young girl sees it a little too close but thankfully, lived to tell her story. all throughout my legs, felt like my bones were crunching, and it really, really hurt. shannon: mother nature was fury caught on video. lightning struck just up ahead, you can see down the road, another car was hit. no one inside that car was hurt, though. also in colorado, 14-year-old savannah bauer found out firsthand what it feels thriek get struck by lightning. >> i saw lightning out of the corner of any eye and right then i felt tingling all throughout my leg, and then it went through my arm, and it really, really hurt in my elbow. felt like my bones were just like crunching, and it really, really hurt. the whole driver was soaking wet and i was wet, too, holding water. i felt so lucky. i didn't have any heart damage, minor nerve stuff, and that's about it. i'm just so thankful. shannon: savannah says the sky was sunny and clear just before she got hit. fox news alert, on a situation we've been following. new details on that hostage taking at an embassy in tel aviv in israel. we're learning a man has been wounded after shots were fired. let's go now to le land vitter, following this breaking news. what can you tell us leland? >> reporter: all night we have been checking with the highly placed military and police sources in israel here and they tell us the suspect has been lightly wounded at the turkish embassy in tel aviv, that's about 45 miles from us here in jerusalem. he was shot in the leg by embassy guards, and so far we've heard from our sources that no hostages were ever taken at the embassy. but once this guy got inside the embassy, he was then on sovereign turkish soil, as all embassies are, and it created a little bit of a diplomatic situation. the palestinian is from ramallah, and he has had a history, if you will, of doing this before. four years ago he went to the british embassy and evidently took off all of his clothes and caused quite a scene. what raised everybody's blood pressure in jerusalem and also tel aviv, this was a turkish embassy, typically that's israel's closest ally in the middle east. things have changed, though, in the past couple of months since that turkish ship tried to break the israeli blockade of gaza. as you might remember, israeli commandos raided that ship and killed nine turks, so there's been some serious diplomatic issues between turkey and israel. obviously, any situation at the embassy would raise anybody's blood pressure but so far the good news is no civilians or anybody in this incident has been hurt. shannon: leland, thank you for the update. >> in minutes a powerful interview you cannot afford to miss, the sister of this man, a pilot who was killed on 9/11 when his plane slammed into the pentagon is speaking out about the planned mosque near ground zero, why she tells us this mosque will never be built. plus a milwaukee priest got a creative idea to send his messages, all good until a giant electronics change. best buy versus god, just ahead. >> the lord just really stirred in me a desire to share the gospel in a profound way. >> anything that is a little bit out of the ordinary causes a buzz. the god squad causes a real wonderful buzz. shannon: wholesale price lifted the market today, also reports from reports from home depot and walmart. >> jurors in the blagojevich trial could be close to wrapping up deliberations, they're asking the judge for information on filling out the verdict form. we do expect a live report from chicago on what could be a very big breaking story in a couple of minutes. you know they've been deadlocked, they've been struggling, they've asked the judge for a lot of additional information and now we're getting word they are moving closer. they've helped for ask -- they've asked for help with the verdict forms. if they make a decision, we'll go immediately to chicago. this is a fox news alert on the ongoing debate over the plans to build a mosque near ground zero. earlier we learned that new york governor david paterson is making a push to have the location of that islamic center moved, the plan getting reaction from families 9/11 -- of 9/11 victims, i spoke to deborah burlingame, her brother piloted the a plane that crashed into the pentagon. hear what she has to say in this powerful interview. >> deborah, we're glad you could join us today. i want to get context on why you have the authority to speak on this topic, you lost a brother, the pilot of the plane that crashed into the pentagon. >> that's right. shannon: so you do have the authority to talk about the emotions and the situation involved in this mosque as it plays out near ground zero. first of all let's talk about the fact that the men who planned that day, who say and claim responsibility for the attack is awaiting trial and yet we see the mosque moving ahead and there are a lot of people that have real problems with that contract. >> i think it shows mixed up priorities of our commander in chief, the president, he gives a speech to the muslim world, basically scolding americans about religious right to, religious freedoms when we live in a pretty free country, no backlash against muslims in 9/11 and sheikh mohammed and his cohorts, asked to plead guilty in 2008, have boasted about their crimes and they're languishing in them. i think we should take care of that first before we start talking about a bridge building on top of ground zero. shannon: when you look at the technicalities of this sideways, the president came out and said i'm not talking about the wisdom of where this location is for the mosque but i'm talking about the foundation of this country, about religious freedom, about private property, so he's right on many of those respects and the polls show that people understand those rights, but they think this is very inappropriate, the majority of our polling shows that. does he get any credit for being right on the legality, or do you think common sense overrides? >> let me tell you something, i signed his -- i find him using the firefighters, responders, invoking the names about the goal of religious freedom, then turning around and saying listen, i'm not talking about the wisdom of this, that suggests to me he knows there's a perfectly good and legitimate argument for not having this mosque at ground zero. so he used religious freedom as a strawman to beat us back and shut us up and i don't find that honorable at all. why didn't you come out right away and say you know, a lot of tragedy and heartache down there, find another place. why would you want to open up a dialogue on top of the bodies of all these people. no, i don't think it was courageous at all, i think it was very cynical. and remember, it was deemed to the muslim world. shan do you think their reaction almost immediately within the next day or so from him and subsequent explanations from the press office at the white house that they got a clue how this resonated and how it came across to people? some have said it was condescending a. lecture, kind of like a constitutional law professor tells what you it says on paper, what the statute says, versus taking in the entirety of how people would react to what he said? >> well, and if he feels so strongly about freedom religion why isn't he lecturing to some of his friends in the muslim world about the lack of freedoms muslims have not only there but here? sharia, honor killings, all of that, i don't hear him speaking out about that. so yes, i find lis lecturing tone incredibly patronizing and condescending, not only to families and americans, but muslims themselves. they are screaming for help in the muslim world about women's rights, girls' rights so i find it disappointing from the leader of the free world. shannon: i will say not everyone who supports the mosque but a few that have heard debates have said to opponents who oppose this particular location, not mosques in new york city, not mosques, but that location have accused some of being homophobic, and you have said we're not having honest conversations about religion in this country. can we get past some of the tension and do that. >> remember, when someone calls you a hater, islamaphobe, they're trying to intimidate you into shutting up and we're not going to do that. we have muslims who are supporting us, there are muslims who are -- who died on 9/11, they're supporting us, not the mam. we know that's not what's going on. as i said before, when you talk about sharia, that they want to bring to ground zero and the rest of the country, you're talking about oppression of muslims. so how is that islamaphobic in i think that is a strawman they're using, and i think those who -- family members who have supported it need to look into sharia law. i think if they start reading about it they'll be as horrified as we are. shannon: some of those supporting the mosque, including the imam, talk about this is going to be a place of healing, of inter faith dialogue, a chance to meet at the tail and have those conversations and share across states' boundaries. does that give you any consolation? >> i don't see how the man could say that with a straight face. seriously, you don't smash someone in the face and then say let's talk about healing he's already basically underlined his entire project by first instead of going to families and saying i have this vision, i have this idea, i think we can bring the east and west together, the muslims and nonmuslims together, how can i do it, can i do it at ground zero, is it appropriate, will you help me, is it workable, will you partner with me. no, he went to politicians and the cultural elites of the city, he did that before he launched his public p.r. campaign and only after it exploded in his face did he then say i want to reach out to the families. we don't believe him. we think it is utterly disingenuous and he's lied over and over and over again about who he is and his intentions so now we don't trust this man to build a mosque anywhere, much less ground zero. shannon: at the end of the day, this battle could rage on for years with litigation and zoning and thing. at the end of the day do you think the mosque gets built at that location? >> no, it will not be built. i'm not saying that some other muslim might come along and build something that we have no objection to, but this giant, 15 story mosque which is being funded by muslim state, islamic states, saudi arabia has partnered with this imam on other programs, saudi arabia, one of the biggest funders of 9/11, where 15 of the hijackers came from, this man and this mega mosque will never happen there, no. shannon: deborah burlingame, thank you very much for your time. >> thank you very much, shannon. shannon: we know a lot of you are following this story online. log on to foxnews.com, check out our slide show images, tracking the ground zero mosque debate, everything you need to know. just two weeks until the last u.s. combat troops are set to leave iraq and today, a deadly message from the terrorists. dozens killed after a bombing outside a protest center. in three minutes, you'll look at what to expect as the troops leave baghdad. one of the country's top political writers today says mr. obama is a one-term president. look at the arguments behind that claim. >> and possible new fallout for the deadly race in the desert. we've got that. and breaking news on the blago trial, immediately after this break. shannon: this is a fox news alert, you have been waiting, we're getting signs there could be a possible decision in the blago trial. mike tobin is live outside the courthouse in chicago. what do we know about any progress now, mike, by the jury? >> reporter: well, you know, shannon, i think it can be summed up with the words of mike at ettiger who reps rod blagojevich, he said this is over, they're hung, speaking about the jury. that is in response to a couple of questions that came out of the jury today. i'll go to the second question first, because i think it's the most telling. they asked the judge how do you fill out the jury questionnaire if they don't have unanimous agreement. as i show you, the jury questionnaire, there's only a box for guilty or not guilty. so there's a split amongst the decision there, the judge indicated they should leave it blank and put a note on the form without indicating the mathematical split. they also asked the judge for a copy of the oath they took when they were initial ly seated as injure yos, that is being interpreted a couple of different ways. you could be talking about a bunch of tired jurors who want to fulfill their obligation and go home and make certain they've fulfilled their obligation or these are jurors who are wanting to use the oath to settle the fact. they want to be certain the clients didn't travel further than half an hour from the federal building so they could be summoned at every time. remember, we are talking about a hung jury, this is a jury that's only going to be hung on some of the counts. they did indicate to the judge last week, last thursday, in fact, that they had reached agreement on two of the counts. they could have reached agreement on more counts. the only way we will know that if we hear from this jury again, shannon. shannon: mike tobin, live, when things develop, we'll check in with you. thank you. just two weeks into the last u.s. combat troops set to leave iraq and this morning, the capitol, struck with bloodshed. dozens killed under the hands of homicide bomber. it was a country ready to take on this country without our troops helping them out. a terrorism expert joins us to talk about this. jim, what's your reaction to the news of that deadly bombing -- doming, at last check, 60 people dead. >> as horrible as this is, what i tell people, go back to 2006 at the height of the violence and describe what iraq is like today, and you say look, if that's the kind of country i can deliver, would you like that, and a lot of people have said that's great, that's awesome. this looks bad but only because things have gone so well since 2007. shannon: in recent months things have ramped up, we've seen a lot of vie lebs this summer, with the clock ticking on the timetable and very public about when the troops are going to leave and our roles changing, should we be surpriseed? >> no. two points. of the first of all, we've seen these acts before, which is every time we reach a turning point, the terrorists try to go out and they try to do a state of vie lebs to make things look bad. in that respect this is something new. u.s. combat troops are going to be out but there's still going to be a military presence, and despite this notion that everybody is going to be out by 2011, nobody believes that's credible. as soon as we get an iraqi government, they'll reach a new agreement with the u.s. and there will be a u.s. presence there and it will stay there and it will draw down as the iraqis continue to expand and build their capabilities. it's not going to be a land of milk and honey but i think it's moving in the right direction. it would be a mistake for us to think we've failed or to think that our investment isn't paying off, and that we shouldn't continue a u.s. presence and work with this government and move forward. shannon: you mentioned a government coming together, that has been very difficult, they had elections back in the spring, they haven't built a coalition and come together. that suggests a lot of instability. so if that's not done, is it time for us to go? >> well, i don't think so. i mean, eventually, there will be a government, and the point is you really can't have a discussion about a u.s. military presence until there's a sitting government because from an iraqi perspective it's politically incorrect to talk about a long term u.s. military presence and no government is going to do that until it's sitting and from a u.s. perspective the white house can't really talk about the long term, they can't get ahead of the iraqis, so i think both sides recognize there's going to be a u.s. presence there, the bad guys recognize that, but what that looks like, we're not going to talk about that until there's a sitting government. >> i want to ask you a report out of the guardian last week. we heard that al-qaeda was actively recruiting, reaching out to sunnis and others, trying to pay them more than they're making with the government if they're working for the government. do you think that will be effective because they're also saying reportedly sundays the u.s. leaves, you join us now or we're going to kill you gleen right, and this is where the administration has really been its own worst enemy with these deadline and time lines and promises that just in a sense made their job harder. we made a timeline in afghanistan, that led the afghans, the taliban, the indians, who have kind -- we've kind of done the same thing here. the administration has to stop doing that. iraqi politicians say why do you say you're going to talk to the taliban, you're going to negotiate with them? it's making our life harder. so i think the administration by really playing down and going soft on the war on terror and willing to negotiate with iran, willing to negotiate with the taliban, they're just -- they just make life harder for our troops on the ground. if we have more resolve, life would actually get easier, not harder. shannon: jim carafano with the heritage foundation, thank you for checking in with you. >> thank you. shannon: we're awaiting news from the justice department with states claiming they can't give ballots to the troops in time for voting. peter jon: , jr. is just ahead to tell us if there's anything we can do to get the soldiers to cast votes. >> and taking action against a wisconsin priest, why the electronics retailer thinks the man of the cloth needs to change his message. >> they sell to god squad, they talk to catholic priests about their struggles, with their life, and maybe things they need prayer for. shannon: off road racing organizers nervously awaiting word from the feds today. an accident in a desert race killed eight people in los angeles and now some fear that could put an end to the sport. the bureau of land management is looking into what went wrong during the california 200, reports suggest the blm could ban racing on federal land all together. best buy is taking on the god squad, the retail giant is threatening legal action against father luke strand of wisconsin all because of how the priest decorated his car. trace gallagher is joining us with an update. what's this all about trace? >> reporter: father luke strand is the pastor in wisconsin and he was trying to get interest from the community and he has a black volkswagen beetle. what he did is he got a sticker, put it on the side and the sticker said god squad, creative, right? not so much for the folks over at best buy, because god squad on his beetle looks like geek squad on their cars, the geek squad that goes out and they install all your electronics equipment. so best buy says they labored over what to do over this and they decided to issue a cease and desist order against the good father, they issued a statement and i'm quoting here, at the end of the day, it's bad precedent to let some groups violate our trademark while pursuing others. as for father strand, he was a little bit taken aback. listen: >> they saw the god squad and they felt comfortable enough to come and talk with a catholic priest about their own relationship with god, maybe struggles in their life and particularly things they need prayer for. >> i was surprised initially, but then after further conversation, i understand, where best buy is coming, from and the sensitivity they have to have to protect their own trademark. >> so good father decided to remove the stickers, as he was told by best buy. but he said he will continue to use the phrase god squad because it's good for business. by the way, it said god love you. best buy won that round, shannon. shannon: if it's best buy versus god, i'm not sure i want to pick sides in that. you mentioned that it was really tough for them to decide they were actually going to reach out and do the accuracy and dee sist. you know, they don't want bad p.r., but what you going to do? >> the pr is thinking oh, god, geek, what do we do and they decided finally, you know what, we got to make a stand here, regardless of what it is, and they said they had a hard time deciding but they said you know what, they had to do it, so they did it. shannon: we understand, business dispute. thank you very much. >> reporter: okay. shannon: dramatic new reports, we're seeing the first desk panel decision from the health care overhaul, we'll see medical treatments involved and talk to a doctor to see if the claims are true. or if it's hype. >> there are new questions about how every passenger, except for one, managed to survive this horrific plane crash that literally split a boeing 737 into pieces. up next, the story from inside the cabin of this miracle crash. >> we thought it was lightning and at that moment the plane touches land, broke in three piece poos aircraft. you need extra help. ask your doctor about onglyza, a once daily medicine used with diet and exercise to control high blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. adding onglyza to your current oral medicine may help reduce after meal blood sugar spikes and may help reduce high morning blood sugar.

"america live" live on the campaign trial. these pictures are from seattle where in moment air force one is set to touch down for one of several campaign spots where democrats are in danger. washington, one state where senate seats could be changing sides come november. what are the senate races looking like where the president is going to visit? >> there are 19 seats that senate democrats are holding and defending in this election cycle. independent analysts said of those 19 seats only 8 can be described as safe or relatively safe. meaning 8 are tossups and three independent analysts are saying are likely to go to senate republicans. senate republicans are defending 18 seats. 13 of those are regarded as safe or likely safe. only 5 are tossups. independent analysts don't see any republican-held seats going over to the democrats. you can see the terrain is shifting away from democrats. democrats are on the defensive and the president aboard air force one touching down in washington at this very moment indicate that very phenomenon. a couple three months ago, patty murray seeking another term in the senate was regarded as a relatively safe democrat. no longer. she is in a tough race and that's why the president is there. shannon: not so long ago even the most optimistic republicans were wondering about the chances of winning back the senate. is that attitude changing. >> reporter: 10 seats is what republicans need to pick up and regain control of the senate. now, washington is an indicator that democrats are losing ground. wisconsin is another. the president was in wisconsin yesterday. overnight he did a fundraiser. they all have democrats who are vulnerable. so republicans believe in ways they didn't that say earlier this year, january, february westward, march, april, they have a chance, though it's still slim. everything in the country would have to break their way to pick up those seats. but they do believe it's at least possible. shannon: we'll send a note to the construction crews to pipe down so you can say your piece when reporting. case in point where comedy and politics are two different dimensions. you have seen these bizarre old spice ads on television. the wash board ads morphing into various characters. apparently vermont hopeful thinks he's a comedian, too. we report, you decide. >> now back to me. sadly. but if you decide not to vote for the same old washington nonsense, you can count on me to work for you. back up, where are you? you are in the 21st century with a candidate vermont deserves. tbhaps your hand. i have it it's a pledge to serve no more than two terms because i'm not a career politician. look again. the pledge is all the special interest money i have gained and spent in my campaign, zero. shane * there is no cologne involved there. he's touting his campaign is not using special interest money. he was a real american hero receiving the medal of honor from president youly sees s. grant. today his remains are the reason for a dog run. is there any way to prevent them from taking advantage of a loophole in a voting law? mixing all hopes for a promising cancer treatment drug. critics say this could be a frightening preview of what's to come in the overhall of our healthcare system. and i can get more laps in. ♪ our card lets us head to the beach more often. and lets us barbecue more often. my new glasses help me see everything. the new website helps me do everything.

many of the ballots which they sent don't get to where they are supposed to get for whatever reason. these folks don't have a remedy at this point. so the clock is ticking down. and enforcement at this point will be met with each state saying, oh, no, we are so close to the primary, we are so close to the general election, and many of the primaries are gone in this country. so we have a law at this point but we don't have the enforcement mechanism by the federal government and we are going to see again unfortunately a lot of servicemen and women disenfranchised. the people whose lives are on the line fighting for you and for me and for our audience, they are not going to gets the opportunity to vote because the federal government sat on its hands and not gone into court the same waive they went into court with the state of arizona. they were quick to get into court in the state of arizona. they could go state by state and say what are you doing, colorado? what are you doing, wisconsin? 3 days is not enough? colorado, you are not making the cut. why aren't you making the cut? and that's not going on. shannon: i was able to get in touch with the secretary of state from colorado, they wrapped up their primary 84 days before the election. but he says they have a problem turning around ballots in time for our troops. one of the critics said why don't you go down to dinko's and get it done. he says it's not that easy. >> that many a statement of a washington insider who has not been in the county to see how they have to prepare the ballots. to suggest you could walk around the street to ki kinko's isn't consistent with reality. to suggest these county clerks don't work hard doesn't comport with reality. shannon: he says they aplied for a waiver. senator cornyn, this is a bipartisan bill that got passed. he reached out to the department of justice. he wants to seat waivers and wants to know what's going on. but so far their indication is they are not going to get that information. why doesn't the d.o.j. want to have an open book on this? >> unfortunately it's been cloaked in secrecy. we know military voters in the past successfully cast their ballots and less than a third of the rate of the general public. we know these ballots are rejected at six times the rates other absentee ballots are rejected. so it's unconscionable at this time when politicians show up at memorial day events and veterans day events and log the a kri fives our service people across the world not to do everything we can whether republican, democrat or independent voters to allow them an opportunity at the ballot box. they are certainly dodging the bullets. but at same time that you had the opportunity to cast the ballots. it's wrong. shannon: the department of justice says they intend to fully enforce this law. they say comment have been taken out of context. what would you need to see that would convince you? >> i can't believe senator john cornyn as a co-sponsor of this legislation has not been able to access the applications for waiver presented by the states. so senator cornyn can't get what should be public information as to their excuses, i don't know what power other people will have and what power service people in afghanistan and iraq and in jemple any and around the world -- and in germany and around the world will have in that regard. maybe discussiono on this network will prompt activity. on its face it seems un-american to do that to the people who fight and die for us. shannon: it many a story we'll not let go of. it's good to see you. dramatic reports today we are seeing the first death panel decision from washington's healthcare overhaul. we'll show you the medical treatments we are talking about. we'll talk with a doctor to see if these claims are legit. what a difference a decade mak makes. you remember this beautiful ice skater. she was sentenced for dealing dope.

>> reporter: what we know is there are thousands of -- hundreds of reporters now packed into the dirksen federal building. what we'll hear from them is they are deadlocked and unable to reach agreement on all 24 counts. this after the jury reached out to the judge asking a couple of questions, one of them how do they fill out the jury questionnaire if they can't reach agreement on a count. there are only two boxes on the jury questionnaire, guilty and not guilty. the judge told them to put a notation on the count that they can't reach agreement but don't note the split. more indications that you have jurors who are tired, they are sick of working with each other. but possibly the most telling thing out of the courtroom was the order from the judge to the defense attorney that rod and robert blagojevich should not be more than a half-hour away from the dirksen federal building so they can be summoned within a half-hour to hear what these people decided. what we are looking at is a partial verdict. the jury indicated they reached agreement on two counts. 22 of them they had been unable to reach agreement on as of last thursday. shannon: he's an american war hero and medal of honor recipient. why are dogs trampling over his grave?

>> i think he can turn it around. i think the reports of his demise are greatly exaggerated. what the president needs to do is take a page from the children temperature playbook. president clinton was criticized for overreliance on polls. but what people misunderstood is clinton used polls to better understand how to communicate in the most powerful way his positions to the american people. i think the firestorm obama wade into with his comments about the ground zero mosque are the failure to take into account how people feel about this issue and work messaging around that so he can communicate his decision but do so in a way that contextualizes it. >> whats is his position on whether that mosque can be there or not. >> i don't think it's actually clear. i don't think that he needs to. this is not an issue that will be on the forefront of voters' minds. voters are concerned, will they have a job, why can't we get a small business bill passed through this congress. they are not going to vote based on whether this mosque is built on ground zero. >> the problem he has is being on the wrong side of the hot button issues. the arizona immigration law, the ground zero mosque and the fact that his economic promise not working. if deficit spending were the key to economic growth unemployment would be plummeting. but it's stubbornly above%. so the combination of those things is deadly for democrats. it's why congress' approval is 10 or 11% and democrats are looking at a disaster in november. clinton shows you can recover buff it requires moving to the center and so far president obama has shown no interest in doing that. >> it requires message discipline. he should be talking about why targeted tax cuts and extends can the tax cuts, that would lead to economic recovery. >> are you disputing president clinton went to the center after 1994. shannon: we'll wrap it up. >> the question hangs pregnantly in the air. shannon: until you are back. thank you very much. fox news is your go-to destination for all things politics online. our brand-new political blog. go to foxnews.com/aehq. that's america's election headquarters. studio b with shepard smith. shep: we are extremely excited. we are hoping to get the verdict on the two counts the jury managed to come up with verdict on. we are hoping that maybe the jurors will speak. they can if they want to. you never know. maybe blago with take a ride on the trampoline there. we know he can fly. we'll see what happens. you have to watch. shannon: if you could combine plan the blago with your work on the trampoline, your work would be done. new reports today that we are seeing the first death panel decision from washington's healthcare overhaul. we'll take a look at the medical treatments involved and we'll talk to a doctor about the claims. one region demanding tourists cover up. put your shirt back on. that what's they are telling you. if you don't, we'll have that part of the story when we come back. @=h [ male announcer ] this is the way most people choose toothbrush. with so many it's hard to see the difference. but this is the way most dentists choose. fact is, more dentists use an oral-b tosh than any other brush. trust the brush more dentists use. oral-b. another heart attack could be lurking, waiting to strike. a heart attack that's caused by a clot, one that could be fatal. but plavix helps save lives. plavix, taken with other heart medicines, goes beyond what other heart medicines do alone, to provide greater protection against heart attack or stroke and even death by helping to keep blood platelets from sticking together and forming dangerous clots. ask your doctor if plavix is right for you. protection that helps save lives.

>> there is a formula in england where they figure out how old you are, how many years are left and that's the cost-benefit ratio. there is talk in even land about revamming their healthcare system. we want to give basic healthcare to everything. there is a difference between basic need and advanced medical care. we have the best medical care in the world. but a lot of the basic healthcare has to do with personal responsibility. and we smoke, we don't exercise, we have obesity and we haven't tackled those issues yet. so that's part of basic healthcare, personal responsibility. shannon: great to receive you today, thank you. president obama may have won over the hollywood big wigs during this visit monday. but ordinary folks in the traffic disaster he left in his wake, see what they are demanding now. a girl saved the life of a toddler just six years old. >> i went under water and i got the money. i was going in the water to get and hold my breath.
