>> a morning of twists and turn in the wikileaks story. earlier today, he was charged with rape and arrest warrant were issued in sweden but now they say that they were unfunded and it's been withdrawn. what is going on? julie kirtz is following the story. >> reporter: a shortime ago, stockholders in sweden withdrew the warrant for the wikileaks founder. the chief prosecutor evan finn said this, "i don't think there is reason to to suspect that julian assange committed rape." it was first reported that assange would surrender to swedish police and warrant was issued where the austrian-born internet activist was on a visit. allegations were of suspected rape and molestation according to the prosecutors office. local newspapers in sweden reported today that the charges involved two unnamed swedish women in 20s and 30s following an incident in a stockholm apartment and a separate incident outside some -- outside stockholm. in a british newspaper earlier he wrote -- also the wikileaks twitter page dismissed the charges as dirty tricks. the story comes as the "wall street journal" reports here in the u.s., the pentagon lawyers have concluded that wikileaks acted illegally in disclosing the 70,000 classified afghan war documents that are now considering possible criminal charges against wikileaks on that matter. assange has close ties with sweden, shannon, where wikileaks keeps some of its servers. he was in sweden last week to apply for whistle-blower protection for his website. in a statement today, he said, "of course the accusations of rape are not true." a short time ago, prosecutors, as i said, withdrew the warrant for his arrest. back to you, shannon. >> shannon: julie, thank you very much. another fox news alert. more defiance from iran the country continues to build up the nuclear capabilities. the country's first nuclear power plant has just come online. caroline shively is standing by with all the latest in the developments in this interesting ga. hi, caroline. >> reporter: hi to you, shannon. nationwide celebrations in iran today, marking the nuclear power plant coming online. according to iran, they only plan to use it to produce electricity. but critics don't trust the iranian regime, saying with some modifications the plant could eventually build a nuclear bomb. over the next two weeks, 80 tons of uranium fuel will be moved in the reactor, with the nuclear watchdog group monitoring the entire process. it could power tehran as early as next month. the u.s. has been trying to block the power plant as a way to put pressure on iran to stop building separate enrichment sites but no form of protest now. irain plans to build ten new enrichment sites across the countryside. it's part of what earned them the u.n. sanctions. they're closely watching the developments and so is israel. >> bushehr is a large commercial-size reactor. it will be the first time that a state dedicated to the elimination of israel brought such a reactor on line. >> russian prime minister vladimir putin helped lead efforts to build the billion-dollar site. under the current contract, fuel cells will be imported from russia to the plant and once used they will be turned back to russia; meaning, iran can't use them for other purposes. russia says it's a way to get iran to cooperate in the bigger nuclear picture, but u.s. officials don't buy it. they said iran is roughly a year from a nuclear weapon, a switch from most estimates which had been three to five years. shannon? >> shannon: caroline, thank you very much. eight iranian fishermen have the u.s. navy to thank for safing their lives. the navy says one of the aircraft carriers spotted a burning boat in the arabian sea on wednesday. two helicopters were sent out and they found the men floating nearby in a life raft. they were brought aboard the uss harry s. truman and given food and medical care. nobody was seriously injured. yesterday, they were transferred to iranian navy vessel. the first face-to-face talks in two years between israeli and palestinian leaders are set to take place next month. the leaders will have a year to broker a deal for peace or at least demonstrate the progress that's being made. reena ninan is live in jerusalem with more. all right, i'm interested to know: secretary clinton's invitation for everyone coming to washington september 2, how is that received there? >> reporter: well, both sides announced yesterday, shannon, they will accept the invitation. they also issued statements saying they welcomed direct talks beginning, which has been close to two years since israeli and palestinian leaders met face-to-face, to try and move the peace process forward. u.s. middle east envoy george mitchell who was also present when secretary clinton made the announcement. he has been trying to push toward in direct talks, meeting with both sides individually for the past four months. it's a very big deal they were able to announce the kickoff and that the summit will take place in a matter of weeks, shannon. >> shannon: what kind of problems as the negotiations take place, they intensify, what could possibly crop up? >> reporter: well, the big problem is just really about a month away, shannon. on september 26, that's when israel is supposed to not renew a settlement construction freeze. this is land palestinians want for future estate. they have frozen construction in these areas. and it's really hard to imagine that israeli prime minister netanyahu will be able to continue that freeze after september 26. in fact, the government has already said they won't be able to do that. and members of the right wing coalition have come out saying that if the construction continues, that they will lead the coalition and the coalition will fall. so it's likely, shannon, there is possibly some sort of an agreement in place that quietly the parties understand that maybe israeli prime minister is able to continue building in areas that will likely go to israel in the final agreement, shannon. >> shannon: always so delicate. reena ninan, thank you very much for the live update. well, it's a deadly flooding in pakistan submerges even more towns, the international monetary fund is reviewing the country's economic well-being. right now, the river is still rising, forcing another 150,000 pakistanis to try to move to higher ground. at least 6 million are now homeless, and total of 20 million people have been affected by the massive flooding. the catastrophe is expected to cost billions of dollars. he was given only three months to live but a full year later the man convicted in the bombing of pan am flight 103 is still alive. he's a free man. his very controversial release angered many of the victims' families, but today two of the families are marking the anniversary weekend of his release in a special way. peter doocy has more from new york. hi, peter. >> reporter: hey, shannon. 33-year-old prince and also sonya have unique bond. sonya's dad died in the pomming and chris' had family member and they're now setting up to get married. i talked about them about the day that changed their lives forever and their big day. >> my dad traveled for business for a long time. it felt like he was gone for business trip, but it began to sink in, i was not going to have any dad back ever. december 2008 was the 20th anniversary. and so there was a big memorial service. and chris was there. >> my goodness! >> first place i told her i loved her was in madison square park. it made the most sense to propose. she said yes and she got weepy and i got nervous. >> this is awesome! >> my mom is going to walk me down the aisle. we're obviously going to try to incorporate my dad into it. i'll be carrying a picture of him on my bouquet. >> the two families are extraordinarily similar. both are mothers who lost their husbands, and both have three children, too. so that alone, that family dynamic alone kind of helped to understand. >> it's just a scab that constantly gets picked open. obviously, it's not the driving thing in our relationship. we have so much else going on. so thankful to chris. i think it does show that no matter how horrible it is, something good can come out of it. >> reporter: sonya said there will be a few dozen other relatives of the an am victims at the ceremony this afternoon, shannon. >> shannon: nice to see something positive at a painful time. peter, thank you very much. >> reporter: thank you. >> shannon: coalition forces in afghanistan reportedly killed three afghan policemen in friendly fire incident, according to nato who said it happened yesterday when afghan security forces in northern afghanistan came under fire for insurgents and called for air support. nato confirmed that a woman and two children were killed in fighting in a separate incident in western afghanistan. the department of defense has released the final report on the deadly shootings at fort hood last november. the report says the military supervisors have to have access to soldiers' personnel efforts and be made aware of signs of potential workplace violence. . impeached governor rod blagojevich is speaking out again. earlier this week, he was convicted on one of the 24 charges brought against him by federal prosecutors and now he is comparing himself to dade battling goliath -- david battling goliath, but he is still confident saying, "we've already won the first round. we are going to win this one." he also thanked the juror who prevented the conviction on the most serious charge, trying to sell appointment to president obama's old senate seat. with so much intrigue surrounding the former governor, you do not want to miss the interview everyone is going to be talking about. chris wallace's exclusive sit-down with rod blagojevich tomorrow on "fox news sunday." check out your local listings for the time and channel. ♪ a new key group of voters called "wal-mart moms" could be shopping for conservative candidates in november. who are they? wal-mart commissioned bipartisan survey to figure that out. it showed wal-mart moms have kids under 18, they tend to be between 18-44 themselves and describe themselves as moderate. most of them are supporters of president obama but they are conflicted about the economic policies and they might take it out on congress in the mid-terms. here now with insight, penny nance, and kirsten powers, fox news contributors. it's interesting that the group when you look at numbers, they like president obama. they voted for him more than cane but they are mad at congress. they have a negative view of it. president obama won't be on the ballot this fall. penny, how do you think the anger works out in the mid-terms? >> these are the women that are going right now, shannon, in the wal-mart stores and the other big stores to buy the list of school supplies for their kids. these job numbers, and the economic numbers, and the outrageous government spending is sticking in their craw. so what you are seeing in the numbers come out is that angst. they have major anti-incumbency anxiety and they don't tend to be voting again for democrats. i think you will see them vote differently in the mid-terms than in the last election. >> shannon: the economy, obviously, one of the top issues for voters across the board. is it realistic, though, to think in 18 months this administration could have put this thing back on track and we should expect all kind of economic flourishing at this point? >> no. i don't think it's realistic, but there are people out there who feel it's not on the right track. i don't necessarily agree with that, but there are people who legitimately feel that. women are the purchasers in the families and make most of the purchasing decisions so they are the ones that are more in tune with what is going on in the economy. it's interesting that a freelance make-up artist that does my make-up sometimes who voted for obama, she is a swing voter. she goes back and forth. voted for obama. she told me yesterday, "i don't care who it is. i'm voting for a republican. my husband doesn't have work and we don't have any money." she likes a lot of things about obama but upset about the economics. that's an anecdote but speaks to what is going on with people being fearful what will happen. >> are they right or wrong to blame the administration for not getting -- >> i don't think they're right. he inherited a bad situation and it's not realistic for him to turn it around in this amount of time. he did right thing but he should have spent more money. you need to flood the market with stimulus. people disagree on that, but i don't think he's as irresponsibility as republicans are saying. that said, a hard sell. if people look at checkbook and they don't have enough money, they don't care about the economic policy. >> the wal-mart moms are not keynesians. these are kitchen table issues for them. they make tough decisions to buy school supplies and they are spending less money somewhere else and they don't understand why the federal government can in the make the same decisions. >> shannon: quickly, i want to ask about another topic that came up. healthcare. the majority of the women in this poll iing seem to indicate they don't like what is done with the healthcare overhaul. 52% of them didn't like it. democrats tell us the more the voters know about it, they will like it more. this group has not been convinced. penny, why do you think the message is not -- >> women are 30% of the small business owners and majority of the women have receipts under $50,000 a year. so not only are we trying to run a family, we make majority of healthcare decisions for the family and many of us are trying to struggle with jobs in small businesses. this isn't working. so far what they are seeing is not working and they know what is coming down the road and they don't like it. >> shannon: kirsten, is the message that what is happening with healthcare isn't effectively communicated? >> they haven't communicated this at all. i wrote a column after it passed they have to sell it to people. they never did it. people really don't understand that there is a vacuum. i hear stories about people so concerned about healthcare but i haven't heard a single story where anybody is having a problem with it. that has been caused by healthcare reform. i think it's just that there is so much economic anxiety when we want to drill down and say what are you afraid of? they are afraid something will happen in the future. so obama has allowed this vacuum to be filled. you know, it's a real -- i think it's a real communication failure. they oversold it. they told people that all the things were going to happen. and, you know, now people are waiting for that to happen. you know, nothing is happening because it wasn't that radical. >> shannon: all right. we have soccer moms and mass car dads, wal-mart moms. we'll see how they vote this time. kirsten and penny, thank you. good to see you both. >> thank you. >> shannon: which local party has the most cash? july numbers are just out and federal campaign report showed last month the democratic national committee raised $11.6 million. while its republican counterpart brought in only $5.5 million. also in july, now when we look at the house races, the g.o.p. there did raise more than democrats to help the candidates, but overall republicans still have less money in the bank. the democratic congressional campaign committee is reporting a total of $35.8 million in the bank. the national republican committee has $22 million. mom at the controversy of the -- the imam at the center of the controversial mosque near ground zero speaks out about islamic extremism in a taxpayer-funded trip to middle east. what he said up next. and what about the museum, the memorial planned for the sacred ground. we look where the construction stands after nine years after this quick break. thanks to aarp, we can have more nights out. 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.

has it been about funding or agreement about what exactly the memorial would be? why so long? >> the reality is this is probably the most complicated construction project in the country. you are building, we're building over an active train station. there is skyscrapers going up all around us. the reality is that ten years after this event, an event that shook this country, we will have a memorial that the entire country will be proud of. if you look at other major events in history, ten years is actually pretty quick. obviously, the vietnam memorial went up i think it was 20 years after. world war ii memorial opened a few years ago, 50 years after. while there is always a push to finish, finish, finish, we wanted to do it right and most importantly when we're done we want to have a memorial where people can be really proud of what we've done and what the country stands for. >> shannon: joe, i have to quickly ask about the controversy, about the mosque in question now, a couple blocks away from the site. is it a plus or minus from you that it opens questions about the memorial, and the museum and progress it's facing, or do you feel like it's a negative thing? >> the reality is and i think the museum will reflect this. the reality is the story and the history of 9/11 isn't yet written. so when controversies come up, whether it's about the mosque or where sheikh muhammad will be try, those are seen through the lens of 9/11. we accept that as an institution. our museum will do everything in its power to make sure that we will track and keep up to date on all of the evolving implications of 9/11. the mosque controversy reflects that. a wide range of views on our board of directors, those against it and those that support it. it hammers home the importance of building the memorial, having the place on the very spot where the events took place for people to come together, remember those who gave their lives. >> shannon: joe, i know some things people can preview now. one of the last guests said she was just there and moved by what you can already see. we're all looking forward to completion. it's been hard work. thank you. >> thank you. >> shannon: the aimtiville horror -- amitiville horror house is having a movie sale. they tell the story of an lutz family who lived in the house after the previous owners were murdered. it's currently under contract, the listing price is more than $1 million. congress is calling itself out. at least one representative. he said that congress is overstepping the authority and only getting worse. he is going to join us live to tell us what he plans to do about it. bad news for jean wyclef. he can't run for congress after all. we tell you why after this break. ring ring. progresso. why does it say box tops for education on your soup?

"americans want to us focus on jobs. by focussing on election bill, democrats are sending a clear message to the american people that their jobs aren't as important as the jobs of embattled democrat politicians. the president says this bill is about transparency. it's transparent, all right," mitch mcconnell says. "a transparent effort to rig the fall election." the central complaint republicans have about the legislation in the senate, shannon, is that it exempts to a certain degree labor unions and even some powerful republican constituencies, such as the national rifle association from the disclosure requirements. republicans say all organizations that involve themselves in politics, unions included should be treated the same way. back to you in new york -- back to you in washington, forgoodness's sake. i get to martha's vineyard and i forget where you are. >> shannon: we hope you are having a little fun while there. it's ever so beautiful. thank you for checking in. congress has been overstepping the authority and operated for too long without constitutional restraints. at least that's the feeling of the next guest. get this. he is a member of congress. arizona congressman john shatting joins to us tell us what he plans to do about it. great to see you today. >> good morning, shannon. it's morning out here in the west. >> shannon: yeah, a little after noon here, but most of the country is still morning. i read a recent statement that you said it's gotten alarmingly bad, this issue of congress overstepping what it should be allowed to do under the constitution. tell us about it. >> well, the constitution grants specific powers under article 1, section 8, to the united states congress. it says that it can coin money. it can conduct foreign affairs and do enumerated things and it spells those out. there are 18 of them. in the bill of rights, the tenth amendment says that powers not specifically granted to on the united states, nor restricted by the constitution to the states are reserved for the states or to the people. that is to say that the founders intended and wrote in the constitution that the federal government could do certain things but it can't do just anything it feels like. and, yet, it is doing whatever it feels like. recently for example, nancy pelosi was asked where does the congress get the authority to compel you and i to buy a particular insurance policy? she responded by saying is that a serious question? pete stark, democrat member of congress out here from california said recently "there are no limits on the power of the congress." both are simply wrong. the constitution sets specific limits on the power of congress and reserves the rest of the powers of government to either the states or to the people themselves. >> shannon: all right. so you have a specific piece of legislation. you have introduced it numerous times before. first of all, tell us what it's all about, what you hope to accomplish, and secondly, are the other members of congress who like to pass the bills going to get on board? >> well, more and more are getting on board. the bill i introduced, called the "enumerated powers act." it's an intent to remind members of congress that there are limits on the powers of congress. what it would do require anytime a member of the house or the united states senate introduces a bill, they would have to look into the constitution and find the specific provision of the constitution that authorizes that legislation. we could then have a debate on the floor of the house about whether they are correct or not. and then the united states supreme court could if the legislation passed actually rule. and in some recent supreme court decisions the court has said, look, congress passed a law it had no authority to pass. as for support from the colleagues, the peak number of supporters on the house side occurred with 73 cosponsors but now we're back up to 70. in intervening years, number of supporters dipped because we weren't looking at congress abusing the powers. now under the current congress, there are more and more members who say this is a good idea. more importantly than that, in the united states senate, my colleague tom coburn introduced it and there are 24 cosponsors. that is a pretty significant number of members of the united states senate who say look, congress should live within the limits of its power as spelled out by our governing documents. >> shannon: we will keep an eye on it and i have a feeling you'd have popular support outside the beltway as well. thank you for taking a break from the august recess to join us. >> popular support outside the beltway turns in to support inside the congress when members hear from their constituents. >> shannon: it sure does. thank you so much, sir. >> thank you. >> shannon: all right. government documents show a ban on deepwater drilling in the gulf of mexico is affecting more than 23,000 jobs. memo from the nation's top drilling regulator says the suspension is directly putting 9,450 people out of work. and affecting 14,000 additional jobs. the moratorium was put in place after the deepwater horizon rig exploded last april, killing 11 people and spilling millions of gallons of oil in the gulf. hip-hop artist wyclef jean presidential hopes are over. they say he's not qualified to run for president of the earthquake-ravaged nation. he was on a list of candidates, where they approved 19 and rejected 15. he hasn't lived in haiti for the past five years which is one of several requirements. the election is set for november. you'red to paying for city services like -- you're used to paying for city services like trash removal, but what about having to pay for the mess from your car accident to be cleaned up?

[ male announcer ] progresso. you gotta taste this soup. >> shannon: remember him? well democrats won't say they miss him yet, but they are talking a whole lot about former president george w. bush lately. in fact, he makes an appearance in a new democratic national committee ad called "big choices." >> this fall, america faces a big choice. do we continue to move forward like democrats are doing? or do we go back to the same republican policies that got us into this mess? >> it fooled me. can't get fooled again. >> this fall, our choice is clear. >> shannon: it follows the democratic campaign theme that suggests voters face choice between the bush era and the republicans that "drove us into debt" and the democrats they say have pulled us out. well, democrats aren't the only ones talking about mr. bush. he has been all over the media this week, especially appeals going out for him to weigh in on the ground zero mosque debate. journalist and fox news contributor liz trotta is here with her thoughts. we've seen a lot of mentions of "w" this week. what is it about? >> in keeping with the spirit of what we've just seen, you know, the president, president obama is vacationing up in martha's vineyard and apparently the t-shirt selling the most deals with president bush. it says, "miss me yet?" the subtitle says, "how that hopey-changey thing working out for you?" we know where that comes from. that is the funny part. the serious part is yes, there are invocations to bush. the "washington post" editorials, columnists; namely, eugene robinson." you can't far left than that. "new york times" and maureen dowd making the case he took the right constitutional stand, dowd the right stand when it came to separating terrorism from the islamic religion. what what look to be nostalgia at first glance on bush and what you are seeing from the liberal media is attempt to use his arguments to further their own cause; that is, that the mosque should be banned. i don't think we should take much seriously. howard fineeman of "newsweek" did a half serious piece saying because of obama's sinking popularity, because of the economy, because of the upcoming elections, there is this kind of wishfulness for bush and he does have a book coming out. don't be too sure that this isn't just a prelude. they are going to kick bush around in the election. and the papers are already talking about how he will be the number one issue in the mid-term elections. so, again, what you've got is the liberal media using president bush's words to further their own argument. that is that nobody should confuse islamic terrorists with islam. >> shannon: it is interesting, though. some of the columnists that you mentioned, maureen dowd or eugene, to say they would have anything positive to say about president bush, a couple months after he's gone and there is talk history will treat him differently. he has a book coming out and he's been careful not to wade in on the mosque debate, though he has been asked to. is it good time for him to have publicity with the book coming? >> before we go too far in the argument that everybody wants to see him again let me "call your attention" to something that appeared online in the "daily beast," well-known liberal outlet, written by peter beinhart, he says -- >> well, there you go. see, this is the damning phrase. when you read this replete with the mistakes about george bush being in prison -- i mean, really -- you know where the left is coming from. don't take it seriously. >> shannon: all right. it will be interesting to hear from him this fall on the book tour as he has been very polite and laid low throughout controversy in the last couple of years. liz trotta, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> shannon: well, boston was flooded with some very fast on their feet brides-to-be. not running to slim down for the big day. they are out for a deal. check them out. don't get in their way! we'll tell you about the wedding dresses on the cheap they were after. when you have osteoporosis, like me, it helps to eat calcium-rich foods like yogurt, spinach, and cheese. but calcium, vitamin d and exercise may not be enough to keep your bones strong. so ask your doctor about once-monthly boniva. boniva works with your body to help stop and reverse bone loss. studies show, after one year on boniva that's exactly what it did for nine out of ten women. and that's what it did for me.

>> well, for one thing, kelly the international atommic energy agency is there and watching them when they bring in the fuel rods and don't divert them to use for a bomb. a capability question. you need to enrich more than 90% for a nuclear weapon. this new plan is set to 3 1/2% and iran has a pilot program that enriches it to 20% for a medical research reactor. take a listen to one iranian official. >> we had said this over and over, that we are not intending to convert all our uranium into 20% enriched uranium. we will go as far as our needs are met. but the concern with some critics is not for what they're doing today. it's whether the plant could be used in the alleged quest for a weapon down the road, kelly. >> it's all about the fact tore of trust and credibility. why is russia helping to build this plant? >> yeah, it's an interesting marriage there. russia says it's a way to get iran to cooperate and a bigger issue of nuclear weapons. one of the six world leaders warning iran not to try and make a bomb. under the current contract, fuel cells will be imported from russia to the plant and once used there, sent back to russia. that means iran can't use them for other purposes, but the u.s. wanted russia not to help with the plant so they'd have it as leverage. now, that's gone out the window, kelly. >> i know, caroline, the bigger worry here, the plant enrichment sites, what can you tell us about that? >> sure, the iranians want to build ten new sites throughout the country and they want to start the first one in march. now, that's what the u.n. sanctions are aimed at stoppingment with those you wouldn't have the iaea or the russians inside monitoring things and that's where a problem could happen. iran for their part. they said they aren't trying to make bombs. the international community isn't buying it. >> caroline, we're going to have a political discussion a few moments from now about this issue and it's good to see you, caroline. >> see you, kelly. >> all right. >> peace talks between israel and palestinians could be in trouble before negotiators could make it to washington. yesterday, both sides agreed to sit down with mr., president obama, excuse me. now, palestinians say they're not coming, if israel allows more building in the west bank. rina ninen is in jerusalem now with more, good to see you. how was secretary clinton as invitation for the summit received that? >> hi, juliet. both sides agreed to accept the invitation and they will be coming to the september summit in washington and they also both issued statements last night they welcomed the direct talks, you know, the u.s. middle east envoy present with hillary clinton when she made the announcement yesterday has been in the region the past four months here trying to push these indirect talks, that he's been meeting with each individual party, the israelis and the palestinians separately so the fact that they were able to move to direct talks is a very big achievement for the white house, juliet. >> was the negotiations start to intensify, what kind of problems could they potentially be facing? >> you know, one of the major problems is only a month away, juliet. on september 26th, a settlement construction freeze is set to expire, palestinians want this land for a future state and the israeli government agreed for one year not to build on this land. well, it expires on september 26th and already, members of netanyahu's right wig coalition said they'll pull out or the government will fall. it's allowed to continue. it's highly unlikely netanyahu will renew the freeze. the israeli government said they will not renew it. and palestinians announced if the construction continues in the settlements, they're going to pull out of the talks. so, there might be a quiet understanding between israelis and palestinians and with the u.s. as well. that netanyahu may be able to continue to build in settlements that in a final peace agreement would ultimately go to israel, juliet. >> rina ninen live in jerusalem, thanks. kell. >> as you heard the stakes are indeed high for the peace talks not just for the future of the middle east, but for politics here in the u.s. joining us now are adam geller, a republican poster and david mercer a democrat strategist. thank you both for joining us, let's begin, we just saw rina's story there about what we're facing with netanyahu and of course, abbas on the other side of the palestinians and there are some conditions here. so, what does the united states have to do to make sure that these conditions are met so they can move forward with some sort of peace deal? >> well, the first thing that they could do is something that they failed to do. i mean, secretary of state clinton said that an agreement could be reached within a year. that is setting an unbelievably high expectation that is almost destined to fail, even if we keep our fingers crossed and we do ultimately get a settlement to suggest a time line like that is a recipe for disaster and sets them up to fail. >> jump in there for me, please. >> i will, kelly, in response to adam. i think we can't go into the negotiations of peace talks with that keened of attitude or cynicism or doubts in trying to secure peace. it's too much of a reward. and we have to take risk to do it and we've seen both the palestinian leader and the israeli prime minister stand up, say they're willing to come to the table, and that's something that we have to promote, advance, and add any value we can to creating a frame work for them to have the environment to come up with new ideas. to engage and it's better than engaging on that field in hopes of peace, than on the battlefields where we're losing lives and deprivation to the people and palestinian west bank or in israel and elsewhere in the middle east. >> and that sounds great, but those are just words. let's be realistic for a second. prime minister netanyahu and president obama have a tense relationship at best. there is, on the other side on the palestinian side, president abbas has a fractured coalition and hamas doesn't want a negotiation. this is-- >> what are we recommending, adam, that they should just accept what you're saying and never come and disengage and turn their interests away from peace? that would be-- >> i will tell you exactly what they should do, david. >> promote extremist ideas and measures, yeah. >> here is what you do, you bring these guys to the table, you don't set a time line and you go incrementally, incrementally, and you-- you know, absolutely tell each side that there's going to have to be concessions, but to suggest that we're going to have this done in a year, are you kidding me? >> gentleman, let me just-- >> let's not focus on the time zone, adam. >> the secretary of state said it, david. the secretary of state said it. >> the two leaders acted to come to the table. we are not going to turn our back on an opportunity such as that to engage them and to promote the environment and advance these-- >> david and adam, let me point out something. both of you are being contentious here, i understand why because it is a very passionate issue. people want to see some sort of peace come to the middle east and since 1993 the oslo accords formally launching the process. we've not seen the palestinians or the israelis come to the table with any concrete peace plan. >> that's why-- >> let me make this point here. this is a notable achievement for the obama administration, my question to both of you is, what role would the president himself have to play in brokering some sort of deal, albeit with a time line that secretary of state hillary clinton has set. but is that time line something-- the second question, is that time line something that she's saying, this is a hoped for goal, an end goal to this game? >> well, i think, i think that the first i think this that the president needs to do is repair his relationship with prime minister netanyahu. you know, look, think about the topic-- >> let's go with that, adam. >> and having a relationship-- ments let me inject one point of clarification here. the last time we saw these two world leaders together, israel president netanyahu as well as president barack obama, they stood side by side and whether it's for show or for the public, they said that they had cemented their relationship and there was nothing wrong with their relationship. now, they're moving forward with this kind of plan, where both leaders have to agree along with abbas. >> exactly. >> in the government to come together. so, let's start with the point of order here, saying that we might have some common ground here and so what has to be done. what is the president expected to do? >> kelly if we have-- . here is the problem. >> go ahead, david. >> if they're willing to stand up and demonstrate the courage, despite factions of the israeli coalition government or dissension among some ranks among the palestinians, but least leaders are going to demonstrate true leadership and strength and take the risk in the name of peace, rather than the risks and the costs associated with a conflict armed or otherwise, and instead, that is something that has been fostered not only by obama and the administration, secretary hillary clinton and senator mitchell and others and you cannot forfeit that opportunity. david, that sounds great. that sounds wonderful. >> as we're talking about, adam. >> let adam have the last word, here, david, david, david-- let adam have the last word here, adam. >> david, it sounds great, we all want peace. >> it is great. >>, but we've got to talk about what are the specifics in terms of settlements, in terms of construction on settlements? those are the kind of questions you have to answer because, yeah, we all want peace. >> and how we're getting together. >> getting together-- i've got to interrupt you, we're running out of time here and boy, we could talk about this because we haven't discussed hamas and the other issues there, adam and david, i want to thank you both. >> a pleasure. >> obviously, this is what we're going to be looking at september 2nd, it's going to happen and they're going to sit down and talk about it and we'll see what role the president will play as well as the two leaders coming together to broker some sort of peace deal for the middle east. thank you, gentlemen. >> let's keep hope alive. >> keep hope alive. maybe you should have it had your referee uniform on. >> or my whistle. >> exactly. that happens and people get passionate, that's what politics is all about. >> that's right. >> all righty, less than 24 hours ago, swedish police issued an arrest warrant for the founder of wikileaks. this afternoon though, a bit of a bizarre new twist. sweden's chief prosecutor is withdrawing that for julian assange. saying the claims of rape are unfounded. wikileaks is saying they'll punish more documents. julie, a lot of folks are raising their eyebrows, isn't this interesting? what's the latest? >> yeah, hi, julietment we were waiting for news this rng mo-- this morning that he might turn himself in. instead. a statement from swedish prosecutor saying they'd withdrawn the warrant for his arrest, saying there's not enough evidence, hooker is the quote, actually, from the prosecutor, i don't think there's reason to suspect that julian assange committed rape. the swedish tabloid expression was the first to report that he would surrender to swedish police and a warrant was issued by prosecutors on rape and molestation charges. we don't have any word yet about the molestation charges or allegations, rather, by two different unnamed women in sweden, by the way. again, withdrawing the rape allegations at this point. the prosecutor's office in sweden. >> is julie, have we been in contact with julian assange directly. >> i e-mailed him several times this morning and no response. but his twitter page, wikileaks twitter page saying it's all dirty tricks and issued a brief e-male to a swede esche newspaper saying the story comes-- excuse me, the quote is why the allegations have come, is an interesting statement. a statement from him earlier today and the claims are false. the rape claims are false, that was the statement from him earlier today. and so, no response to this latest move in the story that they have withdrawn the allegations against him, the rape allegations against him. i like his hair do. all right. >> i knew you were going there. i knew you were going to say something about that. anyway, check this out. a small plane goes down in pennsylvania smack dab in the middle of a river. what happened to the plane and the people inside?

nuclear ambitions and engineers fueling up on the first nuclear power plant. although iran insists it's only for energy production there are concerns about how this could impact iran's other plans. mit security studies program, joaning us right now. always good to see you. and i appreciate your information on this, because receipt now this is where the rubber meets the road. we're about to see they will be able, like iran, i mean, that the plant will be able to develop electricity because of that nuclear situation developing. should we be concerned about this? looking forward? >> well, kelly, it's been a long time coming, they started this plant back in the 1970's. >> kelly: 1979. >> the year it started, '74, '75 and then they had the revolution, it was put on hold and the russians started working on it in 1995 and they sort of pulled their chain for a long time and delayed so it's finally coming online and frankly, it really doesn't matter much. it's more of a side issue to the broader issue of nuclear weapons proliferation and here is the reason i say this, kelly. there are lots of countries that have nuclear power plants that generate electricity, but just because you have one doesn't mean you can build a bomb. in fact, you need more than that and in fact, the focus on iran's program from the u.s. and others, has been enrichment because enrichment is the technology that could be misused and used for a military program, not the power plant generating electricity. >> kelly: here is the thing though, should we be able to trust the russians in moving forward to help the iranians accomplish this task today? >> well, it was interesting and i'm glad you raised that because there's an extra agreement signed today. so this is breaking news. signed that would keep russian technicians on the floor at the plant for the next three years, so the russians are going to be eyes and ears on the ground and in addition to the fact that we have the international atommic energy agency and they are the international organization that will have safeguards, inspecting the plant and making sure that nothing illegal is going on and then the russians are going to insist that once this plant produces electricity and there's this spent fuel, the waste fuel, the russian contract requires that that fuel be sent back to russia and russia's going to want that because they see that as an asset that they can recycle and then use to make additional fuel. he think there will be lots of eyes on the plant and it will be difficult to use it for nefarious purposes, but again, the core issue here is not the plant, it's enrichment. >> kelly: hold it there, you mentioned nefarious purposes. that's a concern among some people living in the western world. they are staying it's not so much that iran has moved forward with this nuclear plant. but they're concerned about what if it gets into the hands of the wrong people. is that a possibility in your opinion, jim? >> no, i really don't think so, because, again, technologically, you cannot make a bomb with just that plant. there's nothing about the plant that gets you to nuclear weapons. there are two paths to nuclear weapons. either you take fuel and you enrich it from reacting fuel to highly enriched uranium in making a bomb and again, iran has lots of centrifuges and that's why both the bush administration and the obama administration focused on that and take the spent fuel out of a reactor and reprocess it, extract the plutonium and build a bomb with plutonium. iran doesn't have a functioning processing program right now and the russians aren't going to give the spent fuel up. they want it for their own purposes so again, i think we need to keep our eye on the ball and the ball here is 0en enrichment. >> kelly: okay, enrichment is overlooking that, but the implications of this. as you move forward, does it make it easier for iran to actually get some sort of negotiations in their favor that they could establish nuclear weapons? >> no, i don't think so. but i think both sides are actually interested in coming to the negotiation table. president ahmadnejad said last month that iran will return to the talks, in geneva, the international talks that iran walked out of a year ago and subsequently president obama said that they were willing to give-- to go to the negotiating table so i think actually iran wants to negotiate right now and so he think there may be some promise here, but obviously it will be difficult. the implications, have to do with other countries in the region. will others feel the need for power plants to match iran. will it work, a german plant built by russians, operated by iranians over decades. the thing could break down and that would have, obviously, take the blush off the rose for nuclear technology. >> kelly: i don't want to be humorous, but parts is parts and sometimes those parts can actually work and do the right thing for them and that is giving them nuclear power for that, for the electrical purposes. >> yeah, it could work, but you know, this remains to be seen. i would not assume it's going to work smoothly. there are many projects in iran that have not worked very smoothly, including the centrifuge program so this is one to keep your eye on going into the future. >> kelly: jim, you're always cool, calm and collected and make it sound so ooeasy for us to understand. and hopfully we get it and watching out for the enrichment program as well. >> thank you. >> juliet: hundreds of thousands of home owners looking for mortgage relief may have thought they saw light at the end of the tunnel and now in the dark again. a treasury department report saying nearly half of those who enrolled in an obama administration program to lower mortgage payments have actually dropped out. so, does this mean we'll now see more foreclosures? joining me is jonathan hoenig portfolio manager for capitalist pig.com. great to see you from the great city of chicago. was just there, love it. what does it entail for all the different players? >> unfortunately it means a resounding failure for the obama administration, juliet. when the president first came to power, foreclosure prevention was one of his top priorities and since then there's been truly a multitude of programs, help for home owners under the billion dollars just last week and hud assistance and the net result has been, as you pointed out. more foreclosures and half of those enrolled in a very generous program having dropped out and from a bigger, from a macroeconomic perspective, it's prolonged the crisis and made the foreclosure crisis more longer lasting, i think from a macroeconomic perspective it's been a resounding failure for the obama administration. >> juliet: for the layman when you say dropped out. explain what that means, go ahead. >> sure, the whole idea was essentially to-- the president would have called responsible home owners those who aren't making mortgage payments, the whole idea was to try to make it more affordable to do so. unfortunately, reality exists, and you know, simply giving people money to try to make a mortgage they couldn't afford in the first place, that artificial propping up what caused the problem in the first place, by keeping prices artificially high, prolonging the crisis, not allowing the prices to correct where it should, may fall and the president would rather have high housing prices than accurate housing prices and that's what the economy needs and that's what the programs disrupt. >> juliet: there are those who strongly believe there should be government intervention in housing, so, you know, if you're talking then, they're listening right now i'm sure, what do you have to say to them? >> well, that's been the problem, right. >> juliet: in the last few minutes. >> right, well, after all the wall street reform we've got freddie and fannie and the government not playing just a side part of the housing finance market, an integral part. and we're not moving towards free market. we're moving toward more government intervention. >> juliet: why, how? >> that's what created-- i think unfortunately the president believes that the housing has a right, a right to a home even they can't necessarily afford on their own and we've shuffled through the door, literally hundreds of millions has to people who aren't making mortgages and can't make the mortgages and had an of have dropped out of the program illustrates that point to a tee. >> when they drop out of the program, what's the future like for them as far as credit goes and as far as trying to get another house at some point goes? >> well, their credit is jeopardized, but that's not because of the program, juliet. because they took out a home and a mortgage they couldn't afford in the first place, we can talk about the conditions that prompted them to do that, but at the end of the day, the government's involvement in trying to fix the housing crisis only exago bacerbated itd made it worse for every taxpayer. >> juliet: jonathan, good to see you. >> bye-bye. >> juliet: kelly. >> kelly: unemployment a devastating reality for millions of americans, but two atlanta entrepreneurs are headed to the kitchens to save their homes and livelihoods. >> hey, kelly it's an ugly ordinance and also an ugly number. here in georgia, unemployment is about 1/2 percent higher than the national average. we did meet a couple of entrepreneurs putting their creative recipes to the test. one former aig employee laid off earlier this year is selling gourmet homemade popsicles on a busy street corner in atlanta and hearing from investors and another woman in south georgia selling an old family recipe online, both are garnering thousands of supporters and customers, take a look. >> perfect for a hot day, don't you think. >> a tasty way to beat the heat. >> do you like the lemon mon? >> success on a stick for this young entrepreneur. >> and 26-year-old steven was laid off from aig in the spending. >> i sat there for about three days after not knowing kind of questioning what i should do, whether i wanted to go back into the industry or not. >> he decided to start his own popsicle business trading in spread sheets and data bases to grinding fruit into frozen bars. >> i knew had had potential. >> serving up unusual blends like strawberry margarita and grapefruit hibiscus is now a run away hit. >> for the king of pops, started out as a way to pay the rebt quickly turned into a booming business, for one entrepreneur selling cornbread maybe the only way to sell the house. >> to get the house at the upcoming sale and pay cash for it. >> known as the kroerp bread millionaire, she went into best selling the family recipe online and fresh batches to reclaim her home. >> every negative situation can be turned around and you have to have the right attitude and faith. >> a lot of faith she does have. i spoke with beverly davis this morning and the bargaining has put her home back on the market and she plans to pay cash for it at theened of this month. >> good for her and for the king of pop. juliet and i are salivating. and does she attribute this to cornbread, a lot of money to earn in just a few months? >> no, and that's a good question, something that i asked her and it's more about the brand. one thing that she said is that she can't provide warm cornbread to everyone in thenation so she's selling kits online, selling an e-recipe book online and taking the inspirational quotes and making bumper stickers, if you have an idea and a passion and you're unemployed, take that idea and think of the ways it can grow. that's what she did and she is planning to buy her home back. kelly. >> good news out of atlanta, georgia. >> yeah. >> elizabeth, thank you. >> i mean, really upset with elizabeth to doing that. >> not sending us with popsicle and cornbread. >> maybe we can do the cornbread, but i'm not much of a cook. >> kelly: we should try right here. >> juliet: thanks, elizabeth. everybody would like to save green at the pump and honda has a hot number easy on the eyes

is honda crz. the fuel efficient hybrid, two seats and available with six speed manual transmission. >> it's not a prius and that's the point. honda's attempt to capture the small car performance and pushing it into the future. it's got things down on the fuel efficiency front and let's see how it drives. >> with 122 horsepower, it's not overpowering, that's about on par with cars of similar size. . >> it's actually pretty zippy off the line and helps with the electric motor, i guess, you quickly realize it's not very quick. >> accelerating from 0 to 60, 9 seconds and you won't win many drag races and six speeds to choose from, passing isn't a problem. >> the ride is comfortable for a small car and it has the honda responsiveness you expect. although the eco friendly tires could use a little more grip. >> here is the thing, the starting price on this is $20,000. and you can get a lot more car for a lot less money than that and the crz probably won't make it back up for you at the pump, but you could say that about any two seat car with a manual transmission and at least this is the most fuel efficient one of those. >> in the honda crz, gary gastelu, fox news. >> thank you, gary. if you want to learn more about the hybrid, go to fox, car report.com. >> very nice. a dutch teen setting sail in secret. the world record she's trying to break and why her managers are keeping

pulpit, television, radio and internet. jakes preaches hope to the hopeless, faith to the fearful, strength to the weak. >> if god is advising your feeling, your life is up and down. >> kelly: what do you think that americans hunger for? >> i'm painfully concerned about the ability in this country, of democracy, public debate and debate is essentially important, but when we lose all civility and respect, then we're unable to resolve issues and the argument becomes more important than the conclusion. i think if we're going to really leave a heritage for our children to enjoy, we're going to have to become more civil in our process and more results oriented than conflict oriented. >> kelly: bishop jakes is it not shy about speaking his mind on controversial matters. like the heated debate over the proposed building of a mosque near ground zero. >> i believe in freedom of religion, and i think it's very, very important that we protect democracy and the way that people can worship god in the way they choose to worship p. and while it may not legally be an issue, sometimes it's not wise to do something just because it's legally permissible to do so. >> kelly: in times of great distress, bishop jakes and his organization have mobilized relief efforts to help people wherever there's a need. >> we've done quite a bit of philanthropic work in mexico, providing supplies for young mexican children who didn't have opportunity, that education and school supplies and feeding them wherever possible. we've built homes in south africa for people who were adversely affected after the apartheid and finding it difficult to have their own places to grow up and if their parents have died of hiv/aids and we've come to physically build homes in their areas and we dig wells for people, indigenous people who have no water, water is something we take for granted here and yet there are millions of people around the world who are dying of diseases just for the lack of clean water. >> kelly: and how do you dig deep into the lives of americans who are caught up in the snare of saying, i don't have a job, the economy is sour, i can't take care of my kids? >> we are a resilient people and i really try to encourage people that are stripped of love for each other, that if we can come together and support each other we can get through any time. >> kelly: well said, td jakes and he had more to stay from father hood, life, and we'll hear more in my next statement beyond of dream. >> juliet: do you know the five most embarrassing issues for men to talk about. >>
