eye look back at his career and his life. meanwhile, the slogan this hour, ""fox & friends," a spoonful of truth to help the news go down." [captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute -- www.ncicap.org -- steve: welcome, folks. it is a beautiful tuesday here in new york city. we thank you very much for joining us. and it is the lead story .234 all the papers here. we start with a fox news alert. gretchen: a possible attack on the u.s. broken up. the suspects believed to have links to al qaeda. and a senior source on capitol hill tells fox newsed" this the tonl pob bad." -- potential to be bad." >> this series of predawn raids yesterday still has people scratching heir heads trying to -- their heads trying to figure out what took place. residents awoke yesterday in queens to find more than a dozen law enforcement, some in camouflage carrying automatic weapons. they knocked down at least one door. sources tell fox warrants were executed. reports reveal no bombs or weapons were recovered during the simultaneous raids. residents say it looked like boxes of evidence were seized. one man was reportedly detained. but as best we know, there were no arrests. according to published reports, the raids were triggered after a man of afghan descent arrived in new york. he visited several aapartments in the queens area. the raids took place after the man under surveillance returned to his home in the midwest. that same individual, according to one report, recently traveled to afghanistan. travel authorities, brief members of congress on the raids, including senator schumer who said, and i quote, there was no eminent threat. congressman peter cane said this is an ongoing investigation and it is being treated very, very seriously by the highest levels of government. and new york's police commissioner ray kelly was sort of uncharacterristicly tight lipped about what they were looking for and why. >> it's part of an ongoing investigation. sort of normal procedure. >> terror threats? >> i'm not going to talk anymore about that. ok? it's part of an investigation that's going forward. >> and one thing that's note worthy here, the raids took place only hours before president obama came to new york to deliver a speech on the economy. but the timing of these two events, for now at least, appears to be nothing more than a coincidence. again, guys, this is an o ongoing investigation. perhaps later today we will learn a great deal more about what took place and why. >> david lee miller joining us live today. brian: i'd like to know where the guy is that caused the whole thing. we let him go back to colorado? could someone stop him? maybe? >> good question. he's on his way to colorado. that's a good question. the authorities have not elaborated to say why they executed these search warrants only after he left new york city. if he's under surveillance, you're right, brian, they presumably knew where he was and they decided to wait. maybe they thought there was something he left behind that's still one of the things we may find out, if we can get a look at the search warrant affidavits which are still sealed. steve: we just need more dots connected. >> we need more dots, too, i think. steve: you're right. gretchen: thanks, david. an emotional vigil in connecticut as hundreds of classmates remember the yale student annie le. >> he was always kind, generous, honest, caring. the list just keeps going. gretchen: the medical examiner confirmed the body found behind that wall on campus is in fact, the missing grad student. police say it looks like an inside job. right now they're looking at a possible suspect, a lab worker who allegedly has defensive type wounds. no one has been arrested yet in connection with the crime. meantime, le's body, as you know, was found sunday, the day she was scheduled to get married to this man. she was only 24 years old. an update on the case of the teen who claims her muslim father is going to kill her for converting to christianity. florida authorities say rifqa bary's claims are not credible. police say there's no evidence her family threatened her. the 17-year-old awaits in foster care in florida as she awaits a judge's ruling on whether she will be sent back to her family. well, he got out of gitmo and went right back to al qaeda. that's what police say about this man. the swedish national was arrested near islamabad last month along with 10 other extremists looking to join al qaeda operatives. he was first sent to gitmo in 2001 after being arrested in pakistan. the u.s. released him three years later. caught on camera, at chicago owes o'hare airport, security guards asleep on the job. since the september 11 attacks, millions of dollars have been spent to increase security at chicago's airports. one security expert explains this incident as institutional behavior, meaning the further you get away from a catastrophic event, the more people become complacent. >> everyone expects people to leave through the baggage thing. if the people designed to prevent the reverse flow of traffic are not attentive it would not be hard to get an individual, and possibly even a package or a device through that entryway. >> the two guards caught sleeping have been fired. aviation department officials say they're working to make sure that never happens again. he danced into our hearts and now after a 20-month battle with pancreatic cancer actor patrick swayze has died. swayze passed away yesterday with his family by his side despite a tough diagnosis. the star kept working. recently shooting the tv show and compiling a memoir. he's best known for his roles in films like "dirty dancing" and "ghost." >> i love you. >> ditto. gretchen: costar demi moore says she will miss him quoting a movie line, "patrick, you are loved by so many and your life will forever shine in our lives. in the words of sam to molly. "it's amazing molly. the love inside, you take it with you." swayze, 57 years old. those are your headlines. steve: that's too bad. brian: disturbing news about patrick swayze, of course. sadly we knew this was coming. but i am surprised a year ago that we would be at this place now when it comes to acorn. it seemed interesting, cracking down an organization that seemed rife with corruption. but now the u.s. senate, after seeing some of these tapes and witnessing some of the firings throughout baltimore, washington, d.c. and now brooklyn, soon-to-be brooklyn, i imagine, has taken action. in brooklyn in particular, the d.a. has launched an investigation into this nonprofit organization that has a lot of funding and some questionable practices. steve: that's right. the d.a. is looking into it. we showed you the video first yesterday here on "fox & friends" of some brooklyn employees for acorn essentially showing a fake prostitute and also a fake pimp exactly how to skirt the law. so what is going on in washington, d.c.? well, a senator by the name of mike johanns, a republican from nebraska, introduced a bill to strip acorn of all of their federal funding. now, a week ago that probably would not have been possible. but after this video from biggovernment.com, suddenly there were a lot of votes in the u.s. senate to do just exactly that. gretchen: yeah. the vote was 83-7. you got to wonder who the seven are and whether or not they saw that video and the illegal advice that was given by taxpayer funded organization. here they are. these are the people who voted to continue to give taxpayer funding to acorn. you can see there a mixture of men. one woman. christian gill brand who took over senator clinton's seat. brian: what could she be thinking? she sees the video and audio, i imagine, and still thinks let's continue to fund that organization? gretchen: "the truth remains thousands of families facing foreclosure depend on airtable organizations like acorn for assistance." she is claiming acorn still provide a good service to a lot of people who can't get that service elsewhere. the only problem is, this could be a pervasive problem. because this video makes it appear as if they were quite comfortable giving illegal advice in offices across the country. not just one. to the same scenario of the pimp and the prostitute. steve: and as we just showed you the scoreboard with those u.s. senators who voted yes, apparently the number of democrats who wanted to vote yes was actually much larger than that. and suddenly in the blog sphere there was a lot of action going on. a blogger blogged on twitter. "who were the seven "child whoring pimp assistants programming defenders?" suddenly a number of other democrats changed their votes. democrats who did say -- you could say -- could hearsay i want to change my vote included tom udall, democrat from new mexico, frank lautenberg, democrat from new jersey and herb cole, democrat from wisconsin. just recently acorn asked for $6 million more from the department of commerce and they are eligible for up t to $8 billion in federal fund from h.u.d. brian: they have $53 million. they have are $1.6 million this year. $53 million since 1994. and in brooklyn evidently they are looking into another 5013c organization apparently also collecting funds, able to do their disirtdy work on the side so they're getting $80,000. another $50,000 from housing. they're all collecting them into one office. what is acorn saying? bertha lewis says, i looked at some of those tapes, they apeer to be doctored. another spokesperson believes the voices of the pimp and hooker have been dubbed over. gretchen: here's the thing that's not doctored. if you visit these offices across the country. we saw this. they're not supposed to add voluntary kite a particular canned gate -- candidate in the election. you see signs in the offices for certain candidates. that, on its face is illegal. remember the video? my favorite video from the obama-mccain campaign where the woman stands up and says obama at an acorn event. that in and of itself should not be happening with taxpayer dollars. steve: right. but because of all the video -- and dallas, you will see more video from biggovernment.com. darrel issa from the great state of california yesterday started to question whether or not acorn should get tax exempt status. so this is just the beginning of the beginning. brian: fifth one. get ready for the fifth one. another health care plan. but this one long awaited. supposed to be the closest thing yet to a bipartisan plan. it's from city of new york baucus who heads up the senate finance committee. it is coming to us, about to be unveiled within 24 hours. as soon as today but more than likely on wednesday, a plan that will not include, reportedly a public option. gretchen: but the headline in this whole thing, brian is that we could just be a day away from the house republicans being onboard with this particular plan and that it could be the democrats who are not onboard with this latest plan that has been devised by the gain of six. these are the six senators who have been working tirelessly behind doors to come up with a bipartisan plan. the news leaking out this morning is that republicans may like this plan, and some democrats may not like this plan. steve: i was at the doctor's office yesterday. and the doctor was talking about what washington is doing. and particularly he was talking about they've got to do something about malpractice costs. some doctors -- some obstetricians, it costs them $200,000 a year and that's if they've never had any judgments against them. so the big question is will something that comes out of capitol hill have any malpractice reform measures in it? and while the president has said we've got to do some test piloting, there's been some stuff in california and texas, all he's got to do is look at the evidence. when they did it in texas, and it passed in 2003, premiums went down 30%. when they did it in california, premiums went down 40%. so if the president wants to do test programs, he's already done it in two of the biggest states. think he could move on from there. brian: we're going to break down all that could be in senator baucus' plan and why some are saying there's hope. meanwhile, a new mohammad atta and according t according to ous on the move. gretchen: swift regret. kanye west apologized on jay leno last night and went one step further. >> my hurt caused someone else. ( music, cheering ) score delivery pizza... hut! hut! ( thud ) ouch! minus the delivery price. ♪ for fresh delivery taste without the delivery price, it's digiorno. ♪ gretchen: can you believe it, it's been one year already since the collapse of lehman brothers and the government bailout of insurance giant a.i.g.? and yesterda president obama use occasion to speak out on the economy and financial regulation. >> unfortunately there are some in the financial industry who are misreading this moment. instead of learning the lessons of lehman and the crisis from which we're still recovering, they're choosing to ignore those lessons. i'm convinced they do so not just at their own peril but at our nation's. >> a former -- brian: a former lehman brothers executive and author of "a colossal failure of common sense." before we look ahead, one question about looking back. could this have been prevented? >> absolutely. essentially merrill lynch was saved because bank of america was put in a headlock by hank paulson and our government. they kind of forced the savings of merrill lynch. there's a lot of things that could have been done to save lehman. first of all, going back, there were people inside of lehman brothers who were calling out warnings, out of subprime in 2006 and 2007, one by one by one these people were silenced. at the top of lehman brothers -- lehman was never rotten at the core. that's where all the beauty was. she was rotten at the head. steve: the president of the united states took wall street to the wood shed kind of yesterday. he did wind up having a meal with bill clinton. they talked at a swanky place downtown. if you were to sit across the table from barack obama, what would you tell him was going on? >> that our government essentially allowed lehman brothers to become an out-of-control monarchy and essentially one deadly, deadly domino. years ago when banks failed like continental illinois or even drexel years ago, when they fell, they didn't hurt people like they do today. when lehman fell in september, so many small business owners watching us, so many people with 401k's had been hurt. they shouldn't have allowed lehman brothers to become that big and that deadly. gretchen: but do you agree that we should allow banks and other institutions to fail in a capitalist society? >> well, i think sometimes what's happened here is these banks have become too big to fail. they've become too big to succeed, too big to be managed. that's the crazy thing of the in other words, there's so much risk, the dominoes are much bigger than they were years before. gretchen: a lot of people are predicting now it's worse. >> absolutely. because bank of america and countrywide are now part of the same company. brian: did the banks learn the lesson that the government won't bail you out so it's changed the behavior? maybe this wasn't the disaster people thought it was. maybe this was the ultimate lessons that banks had to learn. >> well, going forward we need boards of directeddors that have expertise. lehman brothers had an admiral in the navy on its board. richard fuld, our c.e.o., probably couldn't drive a boston whaler from here to the statue of liberty and back. why should the admiral of navy be overlooking financial -- another on the board was in a movie with spencer tracy and he died 20 years ago. steve: the book is "a colossal failure of common sense." we thank you very much. >> thanks very much. great to be here. gretchen: let's talk about terrorism. if you think mohammad atta is a scary guy, our next guest says there's another guy waiting in the wings and he's on the move now. brian: nobody puts baby in the corner. the actor, husband, father who put that line famous passed away. a look back at patrick swayze's life and career. >> ♪ i owe it all to you brian: i don't have to tell you, but i will. the eighth anniversary since the devastating 9/11 attacks. it shook the united states. this man, mohammad atta, was u.b.l.'s choice to carry out those attacks. but this man has been tapped the al qaeda lead tore carry out a second attack. he's just been spotted moving through the middle east. gerald pozner is the chief executive reporter, investigative reporter, for "the daily beast." tell me about this guy and why you think he is such a valuable figure in al qaeda right now. >> brian, let me tell you, the c.i.a. has been worried about this guy for years because the key al qaeda terror suspects picked up at guantanamo gave him up when they were waterboarded. first one identified him and didn't know his name, just knew him as jafar the pilot because he had pilot training. the second one gave up his real name. it clicked a whole bunch of bad bells because american intelligence had been picking up when they called scraps of paper from prisoners they were picking up with his name on it. then they got tapes where osama bin laden says you're going to lead the next wave of attacks on america, the america hiroshima, nuclear attacks attempted to hit american cities. brian: so this has been years. by the way a perfect example of if he's lying, fine, but they crosscheck. they find out if other interrogations revealed the same name. and this name has come up, according to your report. why is this guy so hard to find? and what do you mean, he's on the move? >> the great news about him, you can't believe it, is for 16 years where did he live? he lived in florida, in mir mar. he was born in saudi arabia. his father was a radical islamic cleric. they moved to florida in 1985. he went to broward community college where he got an engineering degree. his english is very good. he has a very slight inflection. the worst news is that they picked up intercepted tapes from satellite of al qaeda conversations where after 9/11 he was crowned as the new mohammad atta. you know what we say? we've been waiting eight years for the next shoe to drop. there's no question that there are terrorists out there like him, not even 30 years old who are looking for the day that they can brag about the things that they've done to strike at the great satan. he hasn't had the opportunity yet, but he's been sitting in pakistan and afghanistan, a cording to the c.i.a. people that i spoke to. all of a sudden what happens late spring and early summer? he's on the move, as you said. he's moving in the middle east. he's traveling. and guess what. on a saudi diplomatic passport. now, they can't tell whether it's fake or real, but when the c.i.a. asked the state department and hillary clinton to go to the saudis and ask them about the passport, the state department said, "we don't think the intelligence is good enough" and they wouldn't do it. brian: the state department still getting in the way. facial recognition software helping find this guy and we've got his picture. thanks for doing this. "the daily beast" is where you can find out more. >> great to talk to you. brian: first serena williams losing her temper on the court, now roger federer. >> i don't want to talk. all right? [beep] brian: wow. what got federer so steamed at the u.s. open final? then kanye west apologizing on jay leno's brand new show for ruining taylor swift's big moment. he didn't stop there. what he says he has to do now to become a better person. and happy birthday to prince harry. the british prince turns 25 today.

let tennis star serena williams serve up the answer to your on-the-job cravings. introducing wilson edible tennis balls for a tasty burst of energy anytime. don't have time to chew them? just shove them down your [beep] throat. wilson edible tennis balls. steve: high in fiber. gretchen: that was one light-hearted way of looking at it. brian: you're still ticked off by it. gretchen: there are parents still trying to figure out how to explain that story. it doesn't end with serena williams. brian: i know. but i grew up on john mcen row, jimmy connors. i used to wait for it. i used to want them to get behind so you would see them explode. and the headlines the next day, "the spoiled brat." gretchen: we have an etiquette person coming up who's going to say that this may be a trend. think it is. it's a trend in the way our society has moved away from manners and called that kind of behavior acceptable instead of an isolated incident. case in point, kanye west the other night at the video music awards where he basically went on stage and hi jacked -- hijacked the entire event, taking away the win from taylor swift. apparently the president -- president obama, also had some opinions about how he feels about kanye west. steve: the president apparently was doing an interview yesterday with cnbc. and during an off-the-record moment apparently -- i'm just quoting here -- i'm going to quote terry moran's twitter, what he tweeted was, "president obama just called kanye west a jack ass for his outburst at the v.m.a.'s when taylor swift won. now, that's presidential." terry wrote. suddenly i agree with the president on something. brian: why wouldn't he say he acted stupidly? gretchen: apparently that site went down because it was an off-the-record comment. >> he was involved with an interview with cnbc not -- see where technology has gotten us? brian: kanye west on jay leno's brand new show last night. he sat down and jay leno asked him a couple of tough questions, for example about what would your mom say, kanye, had your mom been alive to witness what you did on stage? kanye west a little emotional, talked about how he feels today after his outburst yesterday. >> it was rude. period. i've never taken the time off to really -- you know, just music after music and tour after tour and tour. i -- i'm just ashamed that my hurt caused someone else's hurt. i don't try to justify it because i was just in the wrong. that's period. but i need to after this take some time off and just analyze how i'm going to, you know, make it through the rest of this life, how i'm going to improve. gretchen: talking about his mom dying. she died two years ago tragically after plastic surgery. he was saying basically that was the result, not taking time off from that. but still, just apologize. just say, i was wrong, it should have never happened and i need to clean up my act. maybe there's some alcohol issues here. because apparently he was drinking a lot that night. i don't know. brian: look at seinfeld, one of his first guests. a lot of people in the tv industry hoping that jay leno fails. not so much about leno or the network but because it's cheap programming and a lot of "c.s.i.'s" aren't. and if leno's successful, you're going to get four more. there it goes. sad news yesterday, gretchen. gretchen: patrick swayze courageously battled pancreatic cancer for nearly two years, but in the end he lost the battle. at just 57 years old he leaves behind a charismatic legacy from "dirty dancing" to "ghost." here's a look back at the life of this iconic actor. >> he could hold his own against any leading man. but patrick swayze was best known for sweeping women off their feet. he learned those moves growing up in houston, texas. born august 18, 1952, one of five children, his mother patsy was a dance instructor, father jesse a cowboy turned engineer. it was in his mother's dance studio where patrick met his future wife, lisa niemi. the two have been married since 1975. in 1983 swayze joined tom cruise as one of the "outsiders," a movie about two rival gangs in the midwest. >> ♪ you're the one thing i can't get enough of ♪ >> the role of the lifetime for the dancer turned actor came in 1987's "dirty dancing" as johnny casesle. he won the hearts of women worldwide and earned a golden globe nomination. the line for his next film "road house," "the dancing's over. now it gets dirty." the film another box office success but swayze was overwhelmed by the sudden fame. he hit a low point after the deaths of his father and sister. he turned to alcohol, eventually going into rehab. he says he got through that dark time with help from wife lisa. lightning struck a second time for swayze when he teamed up with whoopi goldberg and demi moore, playing moore's murdered husband in the 1990 smash "ghost." swayze earned another golden globe nomination for that role. swayze then focused on what he calls more artistic roles from "waking up in reno" to dressing up in drag. he he had steady film and tv work leading up to the series "the beast" in december 2007. >> you measure. you think. then you react. >> three months after shooting the pilot swayze revealed he was battling pancreatic cancer. in a january 2009 abc special, swayze told barbara walters cancer treatment didn't slow him down during shooting. >> one thing is i was never collapsing on the set. nobody on the set ever saw me whine, moon like a girlie loser man. i've gotten to do a lot of living in my life. i've said for many years that i'm on borrowed time, since i was 30 years years old. i've had 159 lives. >> in new york, fox news. steve: a great talent. all right, moving on with the news, several experts now say that the swine flu can spread for a week or more after a fever stops. best way to tell if somebody is no longer contagious is when they stop coughing. the centers for disease control estimates over one million americans have been affected by the swine flu and nea -- nearly0 died from it. gretchen: a man who drove a motorized scooter on one of the busiest highways in wisconsin. police say he was wasted. officers arrested him at 2:00 in the morning. the suspect allegedly confessed to drinking a 12-pack of beer. this isn't his first brush with the law. the 35-year-old has four prior convictions. maybe that's why he's on the scooter. but i guess you could still be -- is it still a d.u.i. on the scooter? steve: if you're move, absolutely. brian: a tractor. gretchen: a tractor it is? brian: i'm a little iffy on my scooter technology and the laws. meanwhile a thrilling start to "monday night football." there was a duel of "monday night football." here's first game. tom brady to start. brady, watson. cut the buffalo lead to five. after the kickoff there was a fumble. then the patriots would recover it. and tom brady. the game-winning score leaving terrell owens to hang his head in defeat. a wild lateral play almost gave up the victory but it wouldn't happen. pats win 25-24. oakland. chargers-readers. end -- raiders -- oakland-raiders. lewis murphy, 57 yards. but san diego would have an answer. philip rivers. pulled some magic of his own. rivers brings the chargers downfield. then to darren sproles. a score with 18 seconds left. san diego wins. their 12th win over oakland, who's not that good. roger federer very good. taking a page from serena williams. the legend, maybe the best player ever. during the final last night at the u.s. open, lost in five sets. listen to this rare federer moment. outburst. >> don't tell me to be quiet. when i want to talk, i'll talk. i don't give a -- [beep] what he said. brian: that's federer cursing a little during the final, upset that his opponent who actually won, too too long to challenge a point. federer was not penalized but was caught on microphone. he started to lose his edge after that, too. del potro won the fourth and fifth sets to hand the five-time open champ a stunning loss. his first at the u.s. open since 2003. by the way this guy just 21st grand slam title. the number six seed overall. that's a quick look at a big night in the world of sports. i'll tell you, the patriots deserve to lose that game. buffalo, about to pull off the big win. i cannot believe they fumbled that away. wearing in the lowback uniforms. gretchen: and coming up, drew breece, who had a -- brees who had a spectacular game. brian: good promo. i should done that. you are so smart. gretchen: thanks. acorn caught on camera advising people how to launder money. what are the legal options? judge napolitano weighs in next. steve: and a dpr dramatic rescue caught on camera. the lives of two men after their boat exploded in flames. we'll talk to the guys coming up. you know, a lot can happen in a year. life changes. your insurance coverage should change, too. people get married, move, have kids. that's why nationwide insurance does an on your side review. we help you get the right coverage at the right price. i'm marlene dailey, and i am on your side. ( marlene ) switch to nationwide insurance now. ( man ) call 1-877-nationwide. it can be tough living with copd... but i try not to let it slow me down. i go down to the pool for a swim... get out and dance... even play a little hide-n-seek. i'm breathing better... with spiriva. announcer: spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled maintenance treatment for both forms of copd, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. i take it every day. it keeps my airways open... to help me breathe better all day long. and it's not a steroid. announcer: spiriva does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. stop taking spiriva and call your doctor if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, or have vision changes or eye pain. tell your doctor if you have glaucoma, problems passing urine or an enlarged prostate, as these may worsen with spiriva. also discuss the medicines you take, even eye drops. side effects may include dry mouth, constipation and trouble passing urine. every day could be a good day to breathe better. announcer: ask your doctor if once-daily spiriva is right for you. gretchen: 15 minutes before the top of the hour. a couple of quick headlines. water may not be the only thing spraying out of your shower head. a new study finds most devices are filmed with a slimy bacteria that can get into your lungs. to prevent the problem, researchers recommend changing your shower head occasionally or using a metal device so the bacteria won't stick. i think i'm going to clean my hour head today. president obama break bread with former president bill clinton yesterday in new york just after obama's speech on banking reform. they went for italian. they chatted about the economy, apparently. health care, among other issues. word is, they went dutch. they split the bill. steve: thanks. another acorn cracked. this acorn office has been caught on tape advising how to launder money. a growing number of republican lawmakers want action against the group. here to explain other legal options is fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew in napolitano. good morning. >> good morning. steve: it looks like these people from acorn, a number suspended yesterday in brooklyn and a couple fired in d.c. and baltimore it looks like they're telling people who just walk in off the street essentially how to launder money. >> it does and a variety of other things. how to file documents with banks or with the federal government and not reveal what you're truly doing. how to engage the services of underaged women in illicit activity and keep this from immigration authorities. steve: for prostitution. these are all things against the law! >> correct. there's two categories of offenses. one is the misuse of federal funds by acorn as an entity. the other is the individual crimes of the people who are giving this advice. the government would have to sue acorn in a jury trial in order to get the money back. it would probably be an easy case to prove. it's a civil case before a jury, a lawsuit. give us back the x-million we gave you because you didn't spend it the way we agreed you would spend it. brian: and who's responsible to pay it back? the bureau chiefs, the people? this is a nonprofit. >> whatever funds they have, whatever assets they own. brian: could you grab the house of a worker? >> no, no, no. this is a corporate liability. this is a liability of acorn itself in terms of indicting acorn that would be a waste of time. indicting a corporation, all you're going to get is cash from it. brian: you have f.b.i. guys and women who have trained this for years, be double agents and lure somebody into a trap. if they infiltrate an organization, they find out what's going on, pretend to be someone they're not from what you see, do these two, young man and one yom, did they do anything wrong that could trip up this case? >> i didn't see them do anything wrong. remember, they're not f.b.i. agents. they're not the government. they have more freedom of behavior than an f.b.i. agent would. in maryland, for example, where the first of these tapes occurred, the law prohibits intercepting a transmission. meaning, you can't tape a phone call, wireless or landline, without the consent of the people on it. but they didn't intercept any transmission. they just brought a cell phone into a conversation at a nonprofit. that's not against the law. so i see no crime on their part. but i did see a lot of criminal facilitation, meaning, telling people how to break the law. if we have a hypothetical conversation about how to break a bank, there's no crime. but if we have this conversation because you really want to know how to rob the bank and i really intend to guide you through it, i've committed the crime with you. steve: but acorn would answer, look, this is because they're a couple of bad april sphlings a few -- apples, a few people in these different units, baltimore and washington, acted inappropriately who were working for acorn. what about if it's institutional? what if it's systemic? >> i think could you make the argument it's systemic just from seeing the pattern repeated over and over and over again. there was an uncritical willingness to help these two actors break the law. no one said, do you really want to do this? we're not in this business. we don't help you break the law. they were uncritically willing to help that should tell you something about the culture of this place that uses taxpayer dollars. brian: coming up on "brian and the judge" it will be brian and the judge from 9:00 to noon. some of the guests? >> they'll be on at 9:00 with us. steve: there you go. gretchen: i forgot as well. steve: thank you, brian, and the judge. straight ahead, take a look at this incredible video. a boat in the middle of the bay explodes into a fireball. up next, one of the boaters joins us live. and the man who saved his life. brian: then, illegals credited for doing jobs americans refuse to do. wait a second. not so fast. we're going to tell you about a story an immigration raid uncovered. glenn beck will join us to talk about that and a few other things. . ♪ take me home ♪ take me home ♪ to my family ♪ ♪ i need to be surrounded by ♪ the ones who care for me [ female announcer ] clean you can see. gretchen: a coast guard helicopter in texas in the right place at the right time. take a look at this video. >> let me go ahead and do it because you will not be able to see it. gretchen: hovering over above the spots smoke from a burning fishing boat and two men in a life boat next to it. that's when a rescue swimmer drops into the water and into the hospital. joining me now is the aircraft commander. robert that is and cody, the second survivor. good morning to both of you. >> good morning, gretchen. thanks for having us. gretchen: that's an amazing video. is it stotts? >> lt. stotts. gretchen: great to have both of you. you just happened to be up on an exercise over the water saturday morning, right? >> that's correct. it couldn't have been more lucky situation. we actually had three aircraft airborne at the time. we were going to meet over the position where they were at when they had the fire. >> cody, you are one of two people on this particular boat, never in your wildest dreams do you imagine that it's going to erupt in flames. what happened? >> i don't even really know what happened. we were headed up the intercoastal, just taking a boat ride. the panel started making a beeping noise. travis said he was going to check it i wasn't looking. before you know it i heard a woof and there were flames coming out of the boat 6 or 7 feet high. gretchen: your friend travis badly hurt in the situation. you grabbed the life raft. you say the minute you looked in the air you see the coast guard chopper? >> yeah. the second i looked up in the air it was a feeling of relief you would not believe. gretchen: lt., bring us back to that moment where you see this happen. you must have been absolutely in shock as well seeing a boat go up in flames. >> when we first saw the smoke, we didn't actually know what was going on. when we got over top, the other aircraft reported it's on fire. there is two people in the water. then we switched to rescue mode versus our homeland security mission we were on. got the swimmer in rescue gear, lowered him down. he immediately called for basket recovery of the survivor. put the basket down and picked him up and took him directly in the hospital. gretchen: is that you or your friend travis? >> that's my friend travis. >> he was badly burned but is he going to be ok? >> yes, ma'am, is he going to be ok. i went to visit him last night. gretchen: i have to ask you, cody, are you going to go out in a boat anymore or is this it. >> i love the water. i think i'm going to have to give it a little bit of a break. it's something that's a little hard to handle and deal with. gretchen: i cannot understand. i was not there but i understand that you probably will take some time to let all of this die digest. lt. stotts, thank you so much for your service and being in the right place at the right time. and, cody, we are so glad that you and your friend are ok. >> thank you. >> thanks, gretch. gretchen: have a fabulous week. labor unions helped president obama win the elections. is he helping return the favor. why you should be concerned. do you know who i just saw after a long time of not seeing him? glenn beck. he came into work on saturday to cover the tea parties. he was pretty much alone. why is the media ignoring half of america? beck is on his way into the studio. come ontn glenn. come on in. we'll be right back. natural gas can be a part of the solution. i think we need to work on wind resources. they ought to be carefully mapping every conceivable alternative. there is an endless opportunity right here. roms" zi dou t lindsu" tshehin s. het kiw ceem" ar y,i ire are more than words here. it's personal. i have diabetes. rodney's kid too. so we're so proud to manufacture... the accu-chek® aviva meters and test strips... here in the u.s.a. plus, we've proven you'll waste 50% fewer strips... when you use our meter, which means greater savings... for people with diabetes, like me. now that's a true american value. accu-chek® aviva. born in the u.s.a. gretchen: under cover video that could be unravelling acorn. we showed it to you here first. now lawmakers are actually taking action on capitol hill and cutting off the sketchy group's funding. well, most of them, at least. a look at which senators are still supporting the group. and we're going to get glenn beck to take on the whole thing. brian: does he ever sleep? brand new this hour a special ops teaming storming there, you are watching them storm bunkers in afghanistan on a hunt for drugs and plenty of it there. our own colonel oliver north is in the raid. he is live on video. you will see it here. steve: actors and entertainers behaving badly kanye williams and serena williams and now roger federer. >> i don't gave [bleep] what he says. steve: yeah, he is the best in the world. whatever happened to good manners. our slogan on this tuesday with "fox & friends," knowledge is mine. and it sure doesn't hurt that brian is so fine. [captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- >> i'm ollie north and you are watching "fox & friends." brian: how comfortable with that slogan brian's so fine. gretchen: a lot of other people think you are fine as well. brian: thank you. you are talking about glenn beck. gretchen: he had no reaction off to the side. >> i think i threw up in my mouth just a little bit. gretchen: oh, come on. you will be up in a moment. we start with headlines. new development in yale student annie le was found dead behind a wall in a lab on campus there at the school. we are now learning that police closing in on a possible suspect. joining us now from new haven, connecticut, our own rick leventhal. all right. so, rick, so many details now coming out. they seem to be honing in on what could be a lab technician there as a suspect? >> that's what we are hearing, gretchen. we are outside of the new haven police department this morning because a number of news organizations are reporting that an arrest could be imminent. we haven't been able to confirm that new haven register and new haven independent newspapers are both reporting that the police have zeroed in on a lab technician who worked in the building where annie le went missing and where her body was later found. where police believe she was murdered. they say this lab technician had scratches on his chest consistent with defensive wounds. that he failed an fbi-administered lie detector test. at some point during that test stopped answering questions and asked for a lawyer. we don't believe any arrest has been made. again, we're hearing from many news organizations that an arrest could be imminent in this case. the police only tell us that all right e was targeted and they don't believe this was a random act. gretchen: medical examiner releasing some but not a lot of information yesterday regarding the body. what would you suppose the reasoning that they are being tight-lipped. >> they confirmed that annie le it was her body. it was a homicide. but they did not confirm the cause of death. they said in order to not hamper the murder veasmghts they did say, gretchen, they would release the cause of death later this afternoon which suggests that perhaps they're moving very quickly on this case. gretchen: i can't imagine the reaction on the campus there, rick, and the students still obviously shaken by what's happened to one of their own. but, also, fearful, right? >> i think they are more confident with an arrest potentially about to take place. you are right, shaken is a great word to describe it last night they had a candlelight vigil on campus. hundreds of students and faculty and friends of annie le and the cross campus quad for a 20-minute vigil. some lingered some half hour afterwards. annie le's roommate also spoke at that i have jild. she said quote she was a as good of a person you would ever meet. a lot of mourners at the campus today. gretchen: thanks very much for the update. the photo we were seeing is her fiance. she was supposed to be married the day they found her body. thanks, rick. meantime, u.s. special forces have killed one of the most wanted tears in the world. this man. he was hiding out in southern somalia. a u.s. navy helicopter fired on a convoy he was. in president obama signed off on the raid 10 days ago. he was wanted in connection with the 1998 u.s. embassy bombs in kenya which killed 200 people, including 12 americans. house democrats are expected to formally sanction congressman joe wilson today for his confrontation with president obama last week. the resolution of disapproval which some compare to being called out by the teacher in a classroom is expected to hit the floor unless wilson makes another apology. wilson had said he has done his apologizing. he is not going to do another one. new report dealing a set back to rifqa bary who claims her father is going to kill her from converting to islam to christianity. a report says no credible evidence that he has threatened to harm her. waiting on a judge's ruling whether she will be sent back to her family in ohio. sad story this morning after a brave 20 month battle with pancreatic cancer patrick swayze has died with his family by his side. he kept on working and recently shooting a tv show and compiling a memoir. ♪ gretchen: of course, is he best known for leading role in the movie dirty dancing. >> a lot of guts to go to him. you are not scared of anything. >> me? i'm scared of everything. gretchen: his co-star in that movie jennifer grey had this to say. gretchen: he was 57 years old. and those are your headlines this morning. brian: six minutes after the top of the hour. have you seen him scramble to the right. he is wearing a suit, shoes, and probably socks. glenn beck, walk over to the couch. steve: glenn, have you been watching the fox news channel? we have been running video here that i haven't seen on any other channels. >> really? it must not be important. you know what? it probably doesn't have enough sex or scandal to it or big names. steve: it's got all of that stuff, tax evasion, money laundering. >> probably not hidden tape or anything. steve: as you know, this documentarian filmmaker, went into pose as a pimp along a prostitute. now acorn it, sounds like the senate is going to try to cut off their money. the question is is in the house will do it too. >> let's not cut off their money. let's investigate. this is a sister investigation of sciu. you want to know where all of this -- i said it saturday and laid it out again yesterday. i was reading thomas jefferson. 56 people found this country. 56 men pledged lives and sacred honor are there 56 people in washington that will rat out the corruption in washington? we can't pass any bill, we can't -- we are going to cut off their funding, for what? they got 270 other organizations. it's not the people that you are seeing on television. it's rathke that needs to be investigated. steve: who is rathke? >> he is the guy who started acorn. he is the guy at the very top. his brother was nailed for embezzlement of a million dollars. look at these two. i said this last night. don't these two look like they should be villains in a james bond movie? for the love of pete. brian: or superman spin. >> exactly right. his brother was embezzling from acorn. they started to do an investigation, it was all hush, hush. so what they do? they just -- instead of pursuing that they just flipped him over to the sister organization of sciu. these are the people that are unking it. steve: explain the connection though. sciu is service employees international union. acorn is not a union. >> i don't know that other than we have been seeing a lot of servicing being helped along by acorn lately. i don't know. other than these two -- i mean, the same address in new orleans. same address seiu and acorn. gretchen: you must be heartened that the brooklyn da is opening an investigation now. that was one of the three cities, a video we have seen so far. brooklyn d.a. taking a stance saying i will open an investigation. do you think that president obama will look into this? he was a lawyer foray corn at one point in his life. >> do you remember the women from acorn having the big rally and standing up and saying. gretchen: we're getting obama. >> the president of the united states saying before we write any bills we are going to consult with you. we are going to sit down with you. and he was at one of their big rallies after he won. this is assess pool. you don't have anybody in washington that's willing to do the tough work. where the -- these videotapes. wait until you see the one we have tonight. i'm releasing one tonight. take me the full hour to go through. you won't believe this one. this is -- this makes the other ones look like. gretchen: different scenario. not the pimp and prostitute. >> it is. but it goes to places that will peal the skin off your face. brian: three cities so far. baltimore, washington, d.c., brooklyn, new york. we are starting to see more and more of that. >> tonight we're going to the west coast. brian: when people say inside acorn these are just a few bad apples or the tape has been doctored or the voices have been dubbed. what's your reaction? >> how do you overdub something? i'm in audio. i have done audio for 30 years i have been in broadcast. you can't overdub something where everybody is talking over each other. take out and say the pimps were saying, what? you know, the people who are playing the pimps, what were they saying, hey, just say worst possible thing that you can think of? what would were they saying? brian: honesty is not going to get you a house. >> i mean, look. acorn needs to be held. their feet needs to be held to the fire to the top level. they will play these games. remember, this is the way it is set up. they will hire people. they are expendable. they will throw them underneath the bus. steve: one of the thidges about the fox news channel. we are actually running this video. i haven't seen the acorn on any of the other channels. it may have been there. you look at acorn and look at the tea parties this past weekend. the mainstream media these are two stories they have completely backed away. >> from if it wasn't for fox or talk radio, we would be done as a republic. we would be done. there are people in the administration, two of the president's czars that want to shut down the voices of talk radio and fox and make it all mpr. steve: look at your score board. you showed the number of mentions of acorn corruption on fox news 133 times. on cnn, about 90. >> how many of the 90 are positive or making excuses or on the other side of the aisle? gretchen: that's a good point. i hadn't thought about that. >> where is the outrage? gretchen: 83 senators yesterday had outrage. seven didn't. >> more of them wanted to stand with acorn. steve: that's right. >> but they didn't because they fear the voters. this is -- we're not talking about republicans and democrats. we're talking about decency. do you know the teacher's union, the teachers union has given money to acorn recently. what -- teachers. teachers. you are sitting here and you are looking at your kids, 13-year-old kids. shear group of people that are, you walk into their office and they have no problem with 13-year-olds going and getting into a life of prostitution. a 20-year-old has no one said, honey, please, what are you doing? stop. stop. brian: we're going to stop right now and come back for another segment. we are going to talk about what you experienced. what you hosted over the weekend on saturday. the judge was just here. he was hosting 25,000 in fort worth. also, we are talking about illegals. gretchen: jobs legales refuse to do. we heard. shocking results on raid. >> it's indicative of the nation's mood. i don't believe some of the angry, most strident voices we saw during the summer were representative of the thousands of town hall meetings that went on around the country. they don't represent a mainstream view of this health care plan. my message to them is, they're wrong. steve: president's number one advisor david axelrod talking about the people that go to the tea parties. there were a lot of tea parties across the country. hundreds of thousands showed up. don't know how many. >> we had the university -- i don't remember which university it is. look at the pictures and they can do body space. 1.7 million that crowd was estimated. gretchen: in washington? because we were saying tens of thousands. >> that's the official report. look at the pictures, university did that. body counts, 1.7 million. steve: 1.7 million is a troubling number in politics, if that many people showed up. since when, and we have got a time lapse photo as people streamed. that looks like 30,000? please. i have lived in washington, d.c. steve: that's north of half of a million. we heard axelrod saying they are wrong. those people right there. since when is it ok in this country, you only can agree with the president and you can't dissent? >> since january 20th. i mean, i mean, i have never seen anything like this. i have never seen anything like this. gretchen: there is spin though. they have to say that those protesters are not mainstream figures because they are half of the american public. the polls are split down the middle. they are half of the american public who believe in what these tea parties represent. >> hear all the time about how the arrogant george bush just goes along without taking the american public with him. brian: or the world. >> what are we doing here? what are we doing? these people have never given -- they poke him with a stick. first of all, angry mobs? angry mobs? i will show you angry mobs. i have seen them before. do you remember the big antiwar march here in new york? 279 arrests for that. do you know how many in this crowd, i know we are only talking 30,000 people. you know how many arrested? zero. gretchen: talk about the immigration raids. a couple points you want to get out there about this. >> immigration raids, americans will take those jobs. what a surprise. what a surprise. that they will take the job. you know what i said three years ago? my grandfather would have said get the hell out to the berry field right now if i would have said to him i'm not going to do that. i'm above that you don't deserve. if you want to say there is jobs that are beneath me, good. when unemployment hits your house, you go ahead and sit down and watch your little cable tv and everything else. when they come and cancel it and repossess your car and your house and your tivo, don't come to me. you can go to acorn but don't come to me. brian: going to pay somebody $4 an hour as opposed to justified raise. >> it is modern day slavery what these companies have done in the name of compassion. hiring illegals, and having them slave labor. modern day slave. steve: new book coming out modern day idiots. >> book czar on the front. gretchen: glenn beck. >> they are up in arms over that. gretchen: stay tuned today at 5:00. >> don't miss today's show. unbelievable. steve: straight ahead on this tuesday. the president says health care will cost us more money. >> first, i will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits. steve: he may say it won't add one dime but the numbers tell a different story. peter johnson jr. has the prescription for truth coming up next.  steve: time for prescription for truth for today. the president has made an important pledge to the american people health care reform plan on cost. >> i will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits. either now or in the future. i will not sign it if it adds one dime to the deficit now or in the future. period. and to prove that i'm serious. there will be a provision in this plan that requires us to come forward with more spending cuts if the savings we promise don't materialize. steve: you just heard the president say it will not add one dime to the president. is that true? peter johnson jr. who has been looking into this joins us now. peter, he says it will not add one dime. i have looked at your analysis. this could actually cost us trillions of dimes. >> it could cost trillions of dollars over the next 20 years. by the congressional budget office was own reckoning on the major democratic bill, it will cost $240 billion in deficit spending. now, that doesn't take into account what the president is talking about, more than half a billion dollars in money that he intends to save through waste, fraud, and abuse. so you tend to say we are going to cover 30 million or 47 million or whatever the number is today, more people. and we're going to cut out half a trillion dollars over the next 10 years in waste, fraud, and abuse. so the question becomes why can't you do that now without a bill being passed in congress and signed by the president. steve: not only that. talking about cutting travel a trillion dollars out of government programs, medicare and medicaid. if you have got half a trillion dollars worth of corruption right now, just imagine if the government was in control of all of it? >> that's an astute observation it goes to what the president said, we just heard. he said if there is more deficits. if we are not getting the savings that we want, we are going to cut some more. well, i'm going to find savings. but when you are talking about cutting and savings with regard to health care. that means you are going to reduce health care to americans in order to achieve those savings. there is another study by the le lewin group. this study was founded by the peterson foundation. they say in the second ten years of this plan there will be a trillion-dollar deficit. so we're talking about 240 billion, another half a billion -- half a trillion, excuse me, which is questionable in waste, fraud and abuse, how are you going to get those savings. so under one analysis, you are talking about almost $1.7 trillion in deficits. now, that doesn't take into account the taxes. we don't know what the taxes are going to be. we don't know what the increased premiums are going to be. i said yesterday perhaps 10% to 15% in the very first year. i think it's axiomatic to say there is no free lunch. and so what we are looking at is a tremendous revolutionary overhaul of our health care reform system that is going to throw maybe $2 trillion in deficits over the next 20 years. i think that's a conservative estimate. and the american people have to decide whether they can live with $2 trillion in deficits. steve: that is a loft dimes. >> a lot of money. steve: peter johnson jr. prescription for truth. off we go to the green room. brian, gretchen. brian: good job. brian: taking downtown taliban with element of surprise. colonel oliver north with an inside look at exactly how it is done. story you will not see anywhere else. gretchen: the unions and the president they helped him win the election. is president obama quietly returning the favor?

[explosion] >> the taliban purports to be a deeply religious organization. but they are supported today by the opium trade. >> with a lab owner taken into custody, we headed home. estimated street value of the drugs destroyed today, $3 million. and one step closer to bankrupting the taliban. from afghanistan, i'm oliver north for fox news. steve: extraordinary. you know, on the tail of that, ollie, the mainstream media and a lot of people in washington, we're hearing people up on capitol hill saying that the war in afghanistan is unwinnable. you are there on the front lines. what's your take? >> well, this war can be lost but it's not going to be lost over here, steve. it's going to be lost in the corders of power in d.c. higher casualty rates because they're now going into areas where the taliban has had free reign for years. raids we have been on are definitely hurting the taliban. steve: ollie north joining from us kabul in afghanistan. thank you very much. brian: i'm sure it's going to be expanded on war stories. steve: excellent reporting. other headlines this morning he got out of gitmo and went right back to al qaeda. that's what police in pakistan say about this guy mohammed ghezali. the swedish national was arrested near islamabad last month along with 10 other extremeists looking to join al qaeda operatives. he was sent to gitmo in 2001 after being arrested in pakistan. the united states released him three years later. gretchen: john mccain and lindsey graham met with hundreds of people at the said citadel. >> we want to fix health care. it's the cost, not the quality. we want to sit down any time anywhere with the president and/or the democrats and get this situation fixed but we're not going to do it with government taking over health care. gretchen: meantime, on afghanistan, both senators urged president obama to send in more troops. steve: speaking of which, president obama today meeting with workers at a plant in lords town, ohio. from there the president will strongest supporters of the speech at the afl-cio convention in pittsburgh and expected to hear a lot about health care since the president is relying on organized health care to push his health care reforms. brian: big shocker in queens. this time roger federer, outstanding as a player and very civil has some words exchanged with the umpire. let's listen in. >> do you have any rules in there? [inaudible] don't tell me to be quiet, ok? if i want to talk, i will talk, all right? i don't give a [bleep] what he said. brian: federer upset because his competitor took too long. not penalized but lost his edge in the match. he went on to argentinian. federer's first loss in the u.s. open since 2003. serena williams took to the court for the first time since her famous tantrum 48 hours ago. she and her sister won a doubles title. afterwards she and her sister apologized. tom brady, first regular season game in more than a year. patriots comeback against the bills. brady finds ben watson to cut the lead to five. you thought they would hold on but they fumbled the kickoff. brady takes advantage of it 25- 25-24. brian: meanwhile, 22 minutes before the top of the hour. one of the best players in the nfl. he played on sunday. franchise records. gretchen: new orleans saints quarterback drew breeze joins us live. >> good morning, how are you doing? gretchen: game had you sunday. i'm not kidding. people who pick new fantasy leagues, they are cheering you on right now. how do you do it? >> well, i mean, last week's start off the season. a lot of our playmakers. brian: drew, i know this is throughout the nfl. helped rebuild that community devastated by katrina in new orleans. i know have you been helping out a lot. you are known whether you like it or not as one of the good guys in this league. are you disturbed about some of the trends in this league from sean merryman to done at a to plaxico burris to michael vick coming out, pacman jones going into the minor leagues? how does that sit with you guys who go out of their way to stay out of trouble? >> you mentioned four or five guys when there is 1800 guys in the league. you know, so it's really maybe a select few that, unfortunately, have gofnt caught up in something maybe they shouldn't have or made bad choices whereas there is so many that are doing the right thing, you know, with their foundations, getting involved in the community. and that kind of thing. and being role models. i think the vast majority of nfl players are guys that are out there doing the right thing. gretchen: that's why we want to celebrate somebody like you today who is doing good work. something else i want to ask you about is the nfl blackout situation because i know that isn't there a rule can't be shown in local markets. fans can't see local teams. >> issue here in new orleans just because -- yeah, that hasn't been an issue here in new orleans because we do sell out every game see the game regardless. certainly you would love to have them at the game as well. that's not something that we the players typically deal with that's obviously the players association and the owners. brian: i guess that's something you are trying to teach kids. that is you come up with the game or help come up with the game. you are promoting along with visa. financial football. computer based game that teaches students about money? >> yeah. this is a phenomenal program, one in which the nfl has been teamed up with now for five years. i have been lucky enough to be with the program for four years. i have talked to high school students in three different states about the program. we have played the financial football game which is a great teaching tooling for these kids. kind of an interactive way about managing finances. some of the simple things like what's an asset or liability. how to open up a loan, what's a mortgage. all these things. and especially in this day and age when we are coming out of one of the worse recessions in american history, i think it's absolutely the time for these kids to learn at a young age how to manage their finances and be fiscally responsible. it's -- the program has been adopted in 23 status. in other -- states. every library and school in those states have gotten information on the program. the kids have played the game. i think it's really making a difference. you can go to financial football.com to find out more about the program and play the game. brian: drew, too many of these kids are wasting money on twizzlers. we could stop that. gretchen: i'm one of those. i like twizzlers. i'm in there with the twizzlers. i hope you have a fantastic game coming up. you play again sunday? >> yeah. we play at philadelphia. so this is going to be a big challenge. gretchen: good luck. brian: as a giant fan i would like to you beat them. see if you can work that out. drew brees from new orleans. straight ahead fbi agents rush to court to get an emergency search warrant. up next, what al qaeda is doing right here on american soil. gretchen: labor unions helped president obama win the election. is he now secretly returning the favor? our next guest is concerned about that. brian: aflac trivia question of the daytime. when this school district added aflac to complement their employee benefits package, guess who became e new teacher's pet?

gretchen: details still coming out on this one. thanks very much. david lee miller. steve, brian? steve: all right, gretchen. could the immigration be headed towards construction crisis. brian: v.p. of miller concrete construction says the president may be thanking big labor for the support by favoring unions in federal construction projects. bret, what evidence do you have in that statement? >> well, the executive order of the president signed requires that we both use union labor out of union hiring halls rather than our own employees. that they are favored in the federal procurement process if you put a labor agreement on the project itself. we have to collect duce for the workforce during the course of the project. steve: what's crazy about this you are a nonunion stop. the executive order says not only do you have to pay union wages but have you got to hire the union guys. and that puts you at a great disadvantage. what that does is drives up construction prices and it forces all sorts of stuff that you know, you are in the business of not doing. it forces unionization. >> absolutely. 86% of the construction workforce out there actually is chosen not to join a union. it's a common misconception. it's kind of a unionized industry. it's really not. steve: you know, a lot of people know that barack obama was supported heavily by organized labor. and, in fact, he is going out to the afl-cio today. do you see this executive order that he signed in february as a little payback for getting the support last november? >> it's, without question. there is no way to rationalize this. there is no fire to be put out there. is no need to do this. it's a clear and as i remember case of payback. brian: do you have any recourse? have you talked to your lawyers. you mentioned you are not a union place. >> yeah. we are actually considering legal action now. just because the president singsd an executive order doesn't mean he is actually legally able to withstand the challenge and we think we actually could develop pretty good case here. steve: all right. bret mcmahon, vice president of miller and long concrete in bethesda maryland talking about payback. we thank you very much, sir. >> thank you. brian: up next, he told taylor swift's thunder and trying to save face. where have all the manners gone in our society? we are going to take a look at this trend. first. steve: on this day back in 1975 the number one song in america was fame by that guy david bowie. . . . xwxwxwxwxwxwxwxwxwxwxwxwxwxwxwxw [captioning made possible by fox news channel] captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- steve: thanks for the hundred to send it in. the winner is diane in new hampshire. gretchen: didn't their mothers or fathers teach them any manners? our manners does not cool anymore? people in the limelight have been caught being just plain rude. >> i never actually thought this would happen. i sing country music. thank you so much for giving me a chance to win a vma award. >> taylor, i am really happy for you. i will let you finish. beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. steve: then you have kanye west getting ruder and then you have the players at the u.s. open getting a rude as well. >> i did not say i would kill you. are you serious? gretchen: that is not all of them. remember what happened at the president's speech last week? >> our reform efforts would insure illegal immigrants. this too is false. the reforms i propose would not apply to those who are here illegally. >> you lie. steve: someone has been watching all of this. she is an etiquette expert. she joins us live. >> good morning. steve: where did our manners go? >> out the window. >> i think there are a couple of reasons. none of them are good. i think we have actually reached an epidemic in the country. we now have 3 or four generations in the country that do not know what the rules are. we used to learn and to get an protocol at school. it is no longer taught in school. if your parents do not know what the rules are, how should they teach you? >> now we have an epidemic. gretchen: i do agree with you, but i think there are parents out there who are trying to teach the rules. one of the things i'm upset with his it seems that celebrities are the ones who were experiencing the epidemic. >> we are out of control across the board, celebrities, politicians. it is important to remember -- kanye west's lame excuse that celebrities may never get a break. what a miserable excuse gretchen: just say i'm sorry. >> i was completely out of line. that is the only acceptable excuse. it was a little bit too little too late on all counts. in what alternate universe is expected -- acceptable to interrupt the president while he is speaking? steve: they do not teach it in my kids' school. we teach it at our house. one place where they do teach it is the u.s. military. people who go through the military has some of the most impeccable manners in america today. gretchen: what can we do about it? >> we can make a collective effort. the common denominator for all advocate and protocol is courtesy and respect towards others. it is very basic how would you feel on the receiving end of my behavior? steve: for you people who do not do that on a regular basis, i will break your kneecaps -- you're watching today. it makes you feel good. thank you very much. gretchen: you have seen this video, posing as a fake pimp and a prosecutor -- and a prostitute. the government finally taking action a and voting taking actioncorn's cash flow. the latest coming up next. steve: just because you disagree with the president, does that make you a racist? war of the shocking allegations. ou: t s nnge toaghw, roms" zi dou t lindsu" tshehin s. het kiw ceem" ar y,i ire gretchen: good tuesday morning to you. we hope you are having a fantastic day. here is what is happening in the news right now they exposed the corruption that the government has ignored how fake pimp and a prostitute forced the senate to vote to cut acorn's cash flow and which senators are still supporting the group. steve: do comments like these make them racist? >> the reforms i am proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally. >> you lie. >> that is not true. steve: a new york times reporter says that it makes him a racist. why she is pulling the race card. brian: this pregnant woman was packing more than just a baby when she got jumped by a burglar. she joins us live. our slogan comes from karen over in indiana. my healthiest addiction. brian: that is what it sounds like outside when you approached the building. they're all with headsets on. gretchen: we have some money stories we're covering. new discoveries in the discovery inannie le found dead. police are closing in on a possible suspect. we're joined by rick leventhal. what do we know about this possible suspect? >> we have heard quite a bit. we are waiting for confirmation that an arrest may be imminent in this case. a number of news organizations are suggesting that sources within the department say they have identified a suspect that is a yale law technician that work with animals. he had scratches on his chest and failed a lie detector test. the suspect -- waiting for confirmation that he was identified and may in fact be under arrest very soon. annie le was murdered inside the lab building last tuesday. her body was found over the weekend. yesterday, the medical examiner positively identified her body and suggested that she was the victim of homicide, but did not release the cause of death. the cause of death will be released later today, suggesting that police are moving quickly on this case. in the meantime on campus, there was a candlelight vigil with hundreds of yale students, faculty, and staff gathering for close to an hour to honor her life. or roommate of a couple of years said that she was as good a person as you would ever want to meet >> she was always kind, generous, honest, caring -- the list just keeps going. >> tough times here. police have reassured people on campus that they believe they are safe. this said that she was targeted and no other students are in danger because of the security systems in place, the police believed that they knew who was in the building at that time. they have zeroed in on that person. we should be hearing whether or not they actually have someone in custody or will be making an arrest soon. gretchen: it sounds like the case is moving along swiftly. in the meantime, u.s. special forces have killed one of the most wanted terrorists in the world. he was hiding out in southern somalia. a u.s. navy chopper fired on a convoy he was in with other suspected al qaeda members. president obama signed off on this raid 10 years -- 10 days ago. it he was wanted in connection with the 1998 u.s. embassy bombings in kenya. first, heart stopping news and then shot and anchor for that is what the parents of a u.s. soldier are feeling after the army told them that their son was killed in action. it turned out the whole thing was a mistake. army staff sgt jesse jasper is still alive. >> it was hard. gretchen: a spokesperson for the army said that procedures for reporting casualties were not followed and the mixup is now under investigation. caught on camera. security guards us leave on the job. since the september 11 attacks, millions of dollars have been spent to increase security. security experts explained this incident as institutional behavior, meaning of the further away you get from a catastrophic event, the more people become complacent. >> it is designed to prevent the reverse flow of traffic. if they are not attentive, it would not be hard to get an individual or a package through that entryway. >> the two guards have been fired. aviation department officials say that they are making sure that this never happens again. after a 20 month battle with pancreatic cancer, actor patrick swayze has died. despite that tough diagnosis, he kept working, recently shooting a tv show and compiling a memoir. >> he was very supportive and nice. it is really cool to look back on a classy guy in the industry. gretchen: he is best known for his leading role in the movie "dirty dancing." let's talk a little bit about this. after three straight days of watching here on the fox news channel video of tax evasion and trafficking in underage girls, apparently the u.s. senate got the message. a senator from nebraska introduced an amendment attached to a bill that essentially cuts off housing for acorn -- funding for acorn. how can the senate give money to this outfit, he asked. the vote was overwhelming. most of the senators agreed with him and cut it off. brian: you find out about the problems that have already had. here is the biggest shocker for the latest allegations come out of new york. cesenator gillibrand is playing the role of the woman the -- will vote to not cut off funding. gretchen: here is her actual quote. her explanation is that there are a lot of people out there who might get a good feeling when they come out of in a corner office and not that particular feeling that the video showed us. brian: i hear there are good things that the mob does. wow, what a dumb analogy. steve: what about this video. you can bet that there will be more. you will see more later this morning on fox and later today as well nancy pelosi is going to have to cut off the money supply as well. what about president obama? when you are bombarded with videos like this, you would think at some point, the president would have to be asked about a corner and these bad actors. i do not believe the president will not be on a "fox news sunday" this weekend. gretchen: he once worked for a corn as a lawyer. this would be a huge step for him to diss his own former organization. this is how it all boils down. this is your taxpayer money. this is your money fund in this organization for it $53 million has gone to this organization. that is why you should care about this. got only knows where else your taxpayer money is going. brian: the brooklyn district attorney is going to be investigating. steve: even though the federal government -- they are supported by members as well. they are giving them millions of dollars already. they are still eligible for $8 billion -- a corn could get up to a billion more dollars of your federal money. brian: let's talk health care. get ready for a fifth proposal for an forget about that. now senator baucus who leads the gang of six is about to unveil his last incarnation, but definitely his latest incarnation of a bill he hopes will suck republicans along. he says that we are calling to get this as early as today and as late as tomorrow. gretchen: they say that this could be a turning point in the whole health care discussion. the interesting thing to me is that the concern is not necessarily getting republicans on board. the concern is that maybe the democrats will not be on board with this new revised kind of bill. when of the big things would be the government-run option will not probably be in this revised bill. we have heard in the past that as many as a hundred democrats and the house would not vote for a bill if it did not have the government-run option. brian: it does talk about different ways of getting revenue. it would tax these major insurance carriers a percentage. somehow, they are going to have to get around $8 million out of the health insurance industry that is private. steve: never a number of republicans who were thinking -- who were listening to the joint session of congress. there is nothing new in here. the president was talking about, maybe we could reform the way malpractice is done in this country after looking at some pilot programs -- mr. president, if you are watching right now, two pilot programs went into effect. the state of texas past malpractice reform back in 2003. the premiums went down 30%. california, the entire state passed malpractice reform. the premiums went down 40%. if you want to save a lot of money, maybe you should go ahead and include this. no head and install what they are already doing in california and texas. it is working. brian: just because you disagree with the president, does that make you a racist? up next, a white guy will be joining us. gretchen: she faced off against a thief and she was armed with a shotgun. usic] [screeching] [dejectedly] oh.

that is the claim from new york times columnist maureen dowd. she says "his shocking disrespect for the office of president convince me some people just cannot believe a black man is president and will never accept it. even white house press secretary robert gibbs says that he does not believe that people are upset because of the cover of -- the color of his skin. >> good morning. gretchen: i have to say -- when i heard joe wilson yell out "you lie," i never thought race. did you? >> i did not. i thought it was inappropriate. i thought it was rude. the president has accepted joe wilson's apology. maureen dowd's column is just bizarre. yesterday, i got a hamburger and when the guy handed me my big mac, i heard "here's your hamburger, boy?" gretchen: i actually felt that when i read her line, that was racist. >> she even said, fair or not, this is what i heard. how unfair is it to accuse somebody of being a bigot just because you have a policy difference with somebody? this is what democrats do. hillary clinton once said the republicans are running in place like a plantation. you know what i'm talking about how were dean called the republican party the white party. outdoor's campaign manager referred to the republican party as having a white boy attitude. you cannot have policy differences, especially if you are a white male, without being a bigot. gretchen: you obviously, a black man, what is the come back to that? if you are called a racist, you really do not have to come back, do you? >> it is a conversation stopper. that is why they do it. they do it to divert the attention that people are angry. sometimes something that looks like a duck is a duck. people are unhappy with obama care. they are unhappy with the spending, the bailout, the 9.7% unemployment. they do not think his policies are going to get us there. if it was president john edwards or president chris dodd or president hillary clinton, they would have the same outrage, theoretically. gretchen: we both believe that that, it was rude and outrageous. whether or not it was racist remains to be seen. fox is tracking your tax dollars since the past nine months. why is washington still spending your money? we will take you inside that for more exploration. a mother with a gun and she is not afraid to use it. she is seven months pregnant. she joins us live. steve: what a story this is. after a string of burglaries, this criminal finally met his match. a mother of one who was also six and a half months pregnant held the robber at gunpoint until police made the arrest of the first guy. brian: the very woman we were discussing joins us. i will not get into details. set the scene for us. when you realized there was a home invasion going on. >> i heard some noise downstairs. i went out and i saw somebody in my house. i got really angry and i went down there. i asked him what he was doing in my house. he took off walking. i did not want him coming back for making off with our stuff. i grabbed a shotgun. steve: you found him. he was pretending he was just taking a walk. what did you do? >> by that time, my husband had come outside. i asked him to bring him over to me. he did. i started questioning him and asking where my stuff was. he denied breaking in the house and finally admitted to it. my mother came outside. then fell at one point, he had pulled a gun on me. he put it back in his pocket. my mother asked him to i handed the gun to my husband and patted him down to see if he had any more weapons. brian: is a scripted this in a scene on "young riders," i would say that is impossible. you are telling this guy to hand his gun to your mom. how you grabbed a gun and go down. who raised you? >> i guess when you have children, you do anything to protect your kids. steve: you were angry. you grabbed the shotgun and you took matters into your own hands. let me ask you this. who was taking the pictures? what has been the reaction to what you did. you took somebody off the street who was doing a lot of trouble >> it is kind of shocking at what a big deal this has turned out to be. people have been recognizing me and asking me questions about it. the people got their stuff back. i'm really glad that i stopped the young man before he got killed. he was a very young boy. brian: hopefully, you were successful. are you having a boy or girl? >> i am having a girl. steve: she will be born with a badge. thank you very much >> thank you. brian: straight ahead, a case we are closely following. the teenager who ran away from home afraid her muslim parents would kill her for converting to christianity. we have an update that could disturb you. steve: serrie no williams speaking out a few moments ago. what she said about that tantrum, threatening a linesman at the u.s. open. brian: a look back at the life and career of the late patrick swayze. ññ ou: t s nnge toaghw, roms" zi dou t lindsu" tshehin s. het kiw ceem" ar y,i ire welcome to progressive. how may i help you?

why are these programs living to see another day? we are tracking your taxes. you have been on this story. what have you got for us today? >> as you know, one of the reasons the budget is out of control is because of two wars -- the congress could not agree on what to cut. what the omb and cbo, the congressional budget people agree his waist. let's start with the denali commission to improve infrastructure in rural alaska. this and another one that was created in the mississippi delta. the cbo says, caught all three. the omb agrees because other programs accomplish the same goals. a 7-year-old program to develop the nuclear power plant of the future has taxpayers in 4 $5 billion. the cbo says that we can save $600 million because they say it is inappropriate to provide public subsidies for projects that would otherwise be prohibitive to private enterprise. finally, the market access program to promote american products overseas. today, it is a bloated $200 million corporate welfare program where taxpayers subsidize big business. they say that taxpayer money should not advertised brand name products. what is the quick take away? just because these federal accountants can agree on something to cut does not mean it is so. there are lawyers and lobbyists in washington, d.c. right now who are trying to keep their part of the federal pie. steve: he is deep in the heart of taxes. thank you very much this is a fox news alert. vice president joe biden. where is he? he has just touched down in iraq on a surprise visit. the vice president is telling us that he is there to visit u.s. troops and meet with iraqi leaders. this is the third trip that the vice president has taken to iraq this calendar year. brian: a's terror cell breaking up in this country. a senior official on capitol hill tells fox news "does had the potential to be bad we're during the investigation is focusing on several suspects. so far, no word on arrests. law enforcement is staying tight-lipped because the investigation is still ongoing. president obama addressed wall street shortly before. gretchen: the iraqi journalist who through his shoes at president bush claims that he was tortured in prison. he is demanding an apology from iraq's prime minister saying that beatings left him with broken bones and internal bleeding. iraq's military denies the claims. steve: we have an update on the case of the teenager who claims her muslim father is going to kill her for converting to christianity. florida authorities say that her claims are not credible. police say that there is no evidence that her family threatened her. the 70-year-old remains in foster care in florida as she awaits a judge's ruling on whether she will be sent back to her family in ohio. brian: meanwhile, he's filmed some of the most memorable movie scenes of all time. after a 20-month battle with pancreatic cancer, after -- actor patrick swayze has passed away. he will be best remembered for romantic roles in "dirty dancing" and "ghost." brian: demi moore said that he is loved by many and his life will forever shine in all of our lives. patrick swayze was 57 years old gretchen: serena williams speaking out about threatening a u.s. open linesman. here is what she had to say. >> at that point, i had really lost control first of all, what is going on? why are they continuing to call on me on such important points? i was just thinking, what is going on? gretchen: she insists that she will learn from mistakes. steve: list talk a little bit about this. whitney houston who said crack is whack was on "oprah" yesterday. it turns out that she did a lot of drugs. she talked a lot about her marriage to bobbi brown. she said the low point was when he spat in her face after she threw him a party. the relationship was abusive. >> emotionally, he was abusive. physically, no way. i was raised with two boys. i will fight you back. he got hit over the head three times by me. >> so, that was the barrier that you held. >> horrifying as he spoke. brian: he said that he walked around cutting her head off of pictures in the house. she worried about her daughter. it was her mother who got her into rehab. she got back into the house with u.s. marshals to get her daughter out. gretchen: it is a scary situation we hope that everything is clean for whitney houston. she has a brand new album out. it is amazing when you go back and listen to her music. amazing talent. brian: do you know how bad she sounded on "good morning america?" steve: her voice gave out a couple of times strategy has been through a lot. her mother is the one who did the intervention. she showed up at her door with the sheriff and said, you are coming with me. we're getting you out of this marriage. she said, i'm not losing you to sit in. -- to satan. gretchen: so many families struggle with addiction in their families and having to do those kind of intervention meetings. south steve: he was painting them on the walls and on the carpet. brian: that is one reason to break up. that is my line in the sand. gretchen: hundreds of thousands marched on washington to have their voices heard what did they really want to say? steve: she shined on broadway. for this actress, it is all about being a mother. she is going to show me how to pronounce her last name. welcome to the now network. right now five coworkers are working from the road using a mifi-- a mobile hotspot that provides up to five shared wi-fi connections. two are downloading the final final revised final presentation. - one just got an email. - woman: what?! hmph. it's being revised again. the copilot is on mapquest. and tom is streaming meeting psych-up music - from meltedmetal.com. - ( heavy metal music playing ) that's happening now with the new mifi from sprint-- the mobile hotspot that fits in your pocket. sprint. the now network. deaf, hard-of-hearing, and people with speech disabilities access www.sprintrelay.com. steve: you have been seeing it, americans speaking out of town halls and tea parties across the country. what does america really want? frank luntz has a new book out based on surveys. it is called "what americans really want." >> if they could put that cover back, i will give you a statistic. they wanted to put the flag up there. we as americans, what do you identify most when you think of american patriotism? it is actually not that flag. what do you think it is? one structure. it is man-made. the statue of liberty. she has one arm up. what is interesting also is that the second title, what americans really want, the american people have a different perspective than what the elites do. you have a number of numbers there. steve: we're going to go through as many as we can. how many people in america feel, i am mad as hell and i'm not going to take it anymore? >> 72%. we started asking this question in 1994. it was at 32%. we're a nation of hostility because we think that washington has lied to us. we do not trust the media. we do not trust anybody steve: we do trust certain american institutions. what are the most important for our future? 51% say schools, followed by the church, the federal government, the military, and labor unions at 3% >> we examined everything from the culture, the media, politics, business, what you want at your job, what you want for your kids. one thing that they told us, if we have lost faith in our children and our future, we have lost faith in the country. only one out of three americans believe that this country will be better off for their children than it was for them. steve: is that why some many people are showing up at these tea parties and bee's rallies and saying, if not for me, for my kids. >> the american people want to be heard. they want to be heard they want this year and this frustration and this anxiety to be dealt with. religion. the more religious you are, the happier you are at home. the happier you are in your marriage. the more likely you are to donate. the more likely you are to exercise. it everything is impacted by your connection to got. steve: i think that is absolutely right. when institutions are the least important for america's future? the unions are at 61%. followed by the media. >> what is happening there is we're saying that we want a closer connection to our boss. we want our boss to respect us. we want it to be a career. the book goes into how not to get fired. it also teaches mid-level management. it is all about day-to-day life. the problem with the unions is that they do not reflect that. steve: you just mentioned religion and spirituality. how many people in the united states feel that the 10 commandments are a good guy to live by? >> that is exactly it. you do not have to believe in religion to think that the 10 commandments are a good directive for yourself and your family. steve: you should honor your mother and your father. >> the saddest thing was that my parents -- my father passed away and my mother is not able to appreciate this because in reality, the reason why i wrote the book is that i wanted to give something that was an accurate reflection of where we stand and where we are. my mother always said, tell the truth, do not be afraid, tell the truth. know what the truth is. this is 15 years of research that went into this book. 2000 surveys. 6400 interviews. the typical pull that you quote has 1000 people. steve: when asked, do you trust in god, a vast majority agree with that. >> the vast majority agree with that new hampshire slogan. what this is saying is that the american people are still traveling to the same values. is the leadership going to pay attention? for us as average americans, what do we need to say and do to be able to recapture the american dream again? that is what seems to be slipping away. there are nine specific recommendations in this book to help people enjoy their lives more and get them more out of it. it is actually pretty optimistic. steve: i am excited about reading it. it hits bookstores today. thank you for making a couch call. brian: you know how i love to dance, right? i got the perfect match of a perfect guest coming our way. gretchen: her great dance steps coming up in just a bit. let's go see if megyn knows how to dance. megyn: i have some moves. do not get flu -- do not get fooled by the fact that i have nine months pregnant. will the house officially disapprove of congressman joe wilson and his outburst to president obama? one of his biggest critics joins us live to defend the move. some republicans pushing for a formal legal action against acorn. can they do it? we will give you the streets guinea. male or female? this runner could have possible lawsuits. . ♪ [cheering] ♪ gretchen: you go, girl. look at those moves. a dancing queen, now inspirational dance show host. marissa janet wynoker is here with us this morning. tony was my favorite guy dancer, you were very lucky, i was jealous. >> we had a great time. brian: the smile never left her face. >> i would not have done that job without it. i never sought to be a host, but dancing and weight-loss, it was perfect. brian: how much did you crib from gretchen to become the perfect host? you are dressing like her. [laughter] >> we do look good together. steve: better than showing up looking like bryant or me. so, the show is essentially about exercising and losing weight? >> it is really about having fun while you exercise. no one wants to just get on a treadmill every day. if they do, our show is showing you that you can do other things to have fun and lose weight. it was the perfect job for me. hosting one day every week, the perfect overall job for me. brian: you started a facebook page? >> i did. we should all lose weight together, like that. by first thing was sent me a picture of what you do not fit into right now. everybody has already lost weight. that yellow dress is still in their closet, they say, but you guys are doing great. [laughter] gretchen: you have been so great on broadway. "hair spray" is a fabulous show. you have an effervescence about you. now you are a mother. >> this has been such an exciting road. it has been crazy, being a first-time mom. there is my baby. that was his first birthday party. and he is so cute. brian: do you have him raised by the help, because you are such a big star? >> that would be easy, but then i was like i was a mom and i want to be a mom. i do all the stuff, i do everything. i am a part of his life. i learn so much. that is where i get my information, from other moms on my facebook page. i am doing this new campaign for luvs that is about taking a stand in things that you believe in. i purchase all of these expensive forces, and all he wanted to do was play with his sippy cup. steve: playing with the box. >> the same thing. you do not have to purchase the most expensive stuff. and i did. i purchased the most expensive everything. steve: a $59,000 stroller, honey. >> i know. everything is so -- not to sound like i have money, things are expensive as a parent. if i am saying that this is expensive, women are definitely saying that. brian: wait until the go to college. >> i know! my husband said that school was number one, and i just wanted him to play in the dirt. gretchen: did you hear brian said he was a good dancer before? but when you come back, i want you to answer that question. [laughter] >> oh, no! steve: are you sticking around for the after the show show? >> what is that? steve: people to and in online to watch you in two minutes.
