"los angeles times" reports that schwarzenegger admits that he fathered a child with a woman who worked on his household staff for 20 years. schwarzenegger says the child was born more than 10 years ago and that he's been providing support ever since. that's reportedly the reason why he and maria shriver, his wife of 25 years recently separated. she learned about his secret child just a few months ago and decided to move out. >> wow. >> those are your headlines. >> that's almost as shocking as the fact that donald trump has officially said he's not going to run for president. last week, i had a bet with brian kilmeade on his radio show. brian kilmeade was smart enough to bet me a million dollars that donald trump would in fact continue to run for the presidency and i said there's not a chance in h-e double hockey sticks. >> you got lucky so far. didn't say he's never going to run. he could get in late. >> brian, you're fired. >> ever again and here's one of the reasons why, i believe, donald trump decided not to run because the office of government ethics forum 278 detailing all financial interests was due yesterday if in fact he was going to be running for president. and i don't think -- this is the reason i told you he was never going to run for president. he doesn't want all the details about his financial dealings to be made public, amongst other things. >> i have a theory on that. i want to hear donald say it to believe it. would you talk now? >> i decided we're going to continue onward with "celebrity apprenti apprentice" and we're going to continue making lots and lots of money for charity. i will not be running for president as much as i'd like to. >> initially we thought he would be announcing whether or not he was going to run at the finale of "celebrity apprentice" but they had to yesterday because nbc needed to know whether or not his show would run next year. his official press release said "this decision does not come easily or without regret especially when my potential candidacy continues to be validated by the ranking at the top of the republican contenders and polls across the country. i maintain the strong conviction that if i were to run, i would be able to win the primary, i love this guy, and ultimately, the general election. ultimately, however, business is my greatest passion. we all believe that and i'm not ready to leave the private sector. >> the poll numbers said he had gone into the tank in the last couple of weeks. so if you believe he's really always had the passion for business or actually looking at the polls, you be the judge. >> does it bother anybody on the couch or if you're on your favorite chair that as soon as he jumps to the head of the polls, conservatives jumped down his throat. the correspondents dinner was the main focus. the president of the -- >> with the long -- >> the president of the united states went after him. >> that's what they do to any candidate specifically mostly republicans when they decide to run for this office. that's one of the main problems about good people ultimately deciding not to run for office because that's the kind of attacks you encounter. >> one of the things about donald trump, though, is he was -- you know, he brought up the whole issue, he had been -- >> it was a mistake. >> you know, ultimately, he was right, though. he said that the president could answer a lot of his critics if he simply would release the birth certificate and the president did and those questions have for the most part vanished. >> while you were out, gretchen, you know over the weekend, governor huckabee made it official. he's not going to run for president. he was at the top of the polls. still even most polls today, certainly in iowa and south carolina, does that open the door now for michelle bachmann who has told everyone just about i'm going to jump in. if you go to the web site, it no longer says congresswoman bachmann, it says team bachmann and she really wants to do and she's put a lot of work into iowa where she was born and put her numbers in south carolina strong, you wonder if she's more viable than ever. >> the most important thing is huckabee won iowa the last time around. now that he's not that there, that points to bachmann probably doing much better and also she's sort of a similar candidate to huckabee in the sense of the religious right and some of the more conservative people in the party maybe now going to her. although some of the polls say that some of those huckabee followers will also go to mitt romney and he had a wonderful fundraising day yesterday. banked $10.5 million in a single day in a sort of a telethon approach to raising money. >> yeah, he kicked things off with a live event on facebook. he had 400 supporters tapped in across the country. what's significant about $10,250,000 is the fact that back in 2008, he had a similar event, a one-day money bomb essentially that raised $6.5 million so he's done much better than that time. ultimately what he's trying to do is show at the conclusion of this next quarter, june 30th that he will have the most money in the bank of all of the candidates if somebody is going to go up against barack obama who it is rumored needs a billion dollars. >> that number -- joe just handed me a piece of paper. that will be down to $9.25 million. he's decided to give me the $1 million to pay off my bet to gretchen carlson. thanks for that, joe. keep you update as it happens. i've hit my debt ceiling and slammed into it right now and i have no money to move around to make it work. >> i recall you saying you were trying to trade in for monopoly money at the end. this is, unfortunately, real for all the folks in america. the $14,382,000,000,000 debt. yesterday, we officially met ta limit but because the government has a way of fudging the numbers for us, you have to wonder how they can fudge so easily, right. now, we have until august 2nd. they're actually going to steal money from the pension funds of federal workers to pay off the next couple of months so that congress can continue to try to figure out what the hell to do. >> taking a page from wall street. >> it looks as if the treasury will start borrowing from one of the accounts to be made whole when the debt ceiling is raised. what they're also going to do is apparently stop doing some bond issues done at the local and state level. tim geitner predicts that the deadline of august 2nd will be the absolute last day unless they do come to some sort of agreement, that is when they might as well just sell things off on ebay. >> it might not be that easy to come to an agreement. polls show the american public is pretty strong against raising the debt ceiling. 70% of you out there who took this survey say they want their congressman or woman to oppose raising the debt ceiling and 62 businesses took the other side. they wrote a letter, these two congressional leaders saying raise the debt limit, we're getting scared. >> a lot of people across country know that washington, d.c. does not do a very good job of spending money. rather than raising the debt ceiling, spend less money. >> something that we talked about last week was the controversy about that poet/rapper name common who was invited to go to the white house and bill o'reilly was talking about it a lot on his show last week and then he put out an invitation to the comedian jon stewart to come and debate him on his show because jon stewart had been talking a lot about it from opposing point of view on his show. that meeting took place last night on "the o'reilly factor "." here's a snippet in case you missed it. >> what i think he's doing is not celebrating but honoring someone he thinks was wrongly convicted of cop killing. i think he believes she was convicted unjustly. >> ok. >> now, again -- that's fine and if common was even born when this crime took place thinks based on nothing because the evidence is overwhelming, all right, he's entitled as an american to do that. the president of the united states, though, takes him into the house. >> all right. >> thereby validating him. come on, that was a bad decision. you know it was a bad decision. >> you're saying by having him at the white house that in essence was approval of everything he's done to some extent. >> no it validates him. it elevates him. >> as an individual. >> as a poet or whatever. do you know how many poets would have liked to have been there? >> a whole bunch of them so the reason this all got started was because apparently some of the lyrics for one of the common songs which apparently is not very common because i've never actually heard of him until last week where he did celebrate the life of a cop killer, i'll tell you what, though, going forward, whoever invites people to the white house, if it's going to be an artist. i bet they too a better job of betting people. >> i'll tell you what, jon stewart did a good job. he brought up bono, the fact that he sang for somebody else who did something very similar. he was invited to the white house even though he mocked president bush, he was invited there by president bush and spoke at a prayer breakfast. >> i said it last week, very difficult to invite a lot of people to the white house and not that you shouldn't go through and figure out exactly what they've done in their past but it would -- it would make the list very, very small as to what would be acceptable especially when you're talking about lyrics. >> if you're looking to invite us to the white house, we've never rapped about anything. >> we actually never wrote a poem. >> although we are getting a wrap right now. >> we are, too? that's with a w. >> if you watched last night "the o'reilly factor" who won? give us an e-mail and we'll share some a little later on in today's wet telecast live from new york. >> forget the money saved during last month's budget cuts. they could get wiped out thanks to the united states postal service. may need a bailout to pay for pensions and we're talking about billions of dollars. >> we'll see the picture of julieanne moore in this movie.

>> thank you, brian. the state of texas is apparently going to tell the tsa hands off. the lone star state is pushing legislation to stop tsa patdowns at airports unless there's probable cause. the tsa's response, it basically told texas you can't touch that. >> if the bill passes, texas could become the first state with a law restricting tsa's security techniques. texas state representative is the author and sponsor of the bill and he's our guest this morning. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. good morning, gretchen. >> knowii think a lot of people hearing about this initially might say we'll be in favor of that. if you've gone through this patdown, you may have found it to be a little too intimate. my question this morning is why are we going after the tsa agents? they're just doing their job. >> well, they're the people that are violating our citizens and our job is to protect them, to protect their dignity, their freedom of travel. the government's gone a little too far. those blue gloves are wandering in places they shouldn't. they're putting their hands in our pants and up our skirts. a sexual assault is what this would be in any other context and we should stop it. >> ok. david, doesn't the fed, though, trump the state? i mean, you can come up with that rule but if the tsa is going to say this is what we're going to do, generally that's what happens. >> well, i'm glad the feds are interested in the constitution because it applies to them. the fourth amendment to protect us from unreasonable searches by the government. and this is what this is. >> that's right. >> so let me ask you this, are you going after the individual tsa agent to try to get the federal government's attention on it, then? because really, you know, some guy or gal who is just trying to earn a paycheck to go home, they're doing what they're being told they have to do. they probably don't even like doing it. >> well, i agree with you. i don't think they would. i'm sure there's some that probably do and they certainly should be stopped. the point is of this legislation is to draw a reasonable line where searches without probable cause should stop. you know, we've got to either do it with our private parts or we're going to have to do it with a body cavity. we've gone from stopping pocket knives, then we stopped -- we took off our shoes when we had the shoe bomber and we had the underwear bombers. they started sticking their hands in our pants. >> you're right. >> if we have a terrorist with an explosive in a body cavity are we going to have a colonoscopy? >> that's what the worry is. meanwhile, the tsa responded this way. they said the patdown is a highly effective tool to resolve certain alarms and keep these dangerous items off of planes that could cause catastrophic damage. that is probably true. but you're saying they're going way too far! >> well, they are and their scanners, even, five times in one week at the dfw airport an undercover agent went through there and they were not detected with a handgun. their measures are not effective. in fact, only about 3% of the people even are patted down. >> right. >> so their emphasis is in the wrong place. we need to put the emphasis on the metal detectors. and explosive sniffing dogs and things that are effective. >> i think a lot of people agree with you. i just think they might be hesitant to have that -- the poor worker get in trouble instead of the government get in trouble for the whole thing. >> well -- >> we got to go -- >> i agree with that. let me get your response to that. i think that's the important part of this story. >> well, i think they'll change their procedures and stop them from touching us in our private parts. so they won't be charged. >> ok. >> if that results a job well done. david simpson, texas representative, thank you, sir, for joining us today from the state capital of texas, austin. >> thank you for having me. the high courts bombshell decision. police don't need a warrant before storming your home?

colonel did a good job there. >> all right. 27 minutes now before the top of the hour. let me tell you what's happening around the world. four u.s. soldiers are dead after a roadside bomb explodes in afghanistan. the soldiers were on patrol near the city of kalat where the bomb went off. three of the soldiers were based in alaska and were training a new unit to take over their patrol at the time of the incident and two other soldiers also hurt. >> engineers in louisiana keeping a close eye on the levees holding back the swelling mississippi river. thousands of residents in cajun country have

police are searching for a blue toyota pickup truck that was spotted nearby. if you have any information, call your local police and tell them what you know. >> all right. an era in television, we're

mccain. the hollywood actor playing the former presidential candidate in the upcoming hbo film "game change." but now take a look at this. here's our first look at harris' ed mccain in the film. they actually look a lot alike and here's how he matches up with his vice presidential nominee. that's juliann moore, the actress playing sarah palin. they did a pretty good job. i didn't see that similarity there. i guess that's what they do. time for some sports. >> thank you very much, gretchen. the nfl lockout, already the longest work stoppage in league history and now it's going to last another month. a month longer because a federal appeals court sided with the owners and ruled that a lockout can remain in place until a full appeal is heard. the appeal is set for june 3rd in st. louis. it came on the same day as the nfl players and owners finished the latest round of mediation talks in minnesota. the woes continue for the new york yankees. they were up 5-1 on the tampa bay rays that were in first. did homers off a.j. burnett as tampa won 6-5. it's the sixth straight loss for the yankees and comes in a continuing controversy surrounding jorge posada. he told yankees g.m. brian cashman that he wanted off the team after being moved to ninth in the batting order. wow, president obama welcoming the new college basketball champions to the white house. i'm talking about the ncaa champions. the president honored the uconn huskies and said the team will finish ninth in the regular season and shows us how to overcome the odds. >> even though there were some rough spots during the season, these players put their heads down, they worked hard and they focused on winning the games that counted. they succeeded because everybody knew that they had a role to play. >> all right. >> oh, man. the president did not have uconn. but kemba walker was on that team and that's why he won. they presented the president with a jersey. he got to keep it and he's probably wearing it right now. >> donald trump has bowed out of the race for president saying "i maintain the strong conviction that if i were to run, i would be able to win the primary and ultimately the general election. business is my greatest passion and i'm not ready to leave the private sector." so let's turn now to our radio rumble for reaction from their viewers and actually their listeners across the country. from san diego, roger hedgcock. from atlanta, martha and ellen ratner from washington, d.c. good morning it all three of you. >> good morning. >> martha, let me start with you. i had a big bet going with brian here. i said he was never going to run for president. brian thought he was. >> he saw he was going to lose a multimillion dollar contract with nbc. and then he was going to lose his privacy. yeah, he kind of had a lot of faux pass and he went up very fast. my listeners weren't surprised about it. i'm not surprised at all. >> is this the reality of politics, that he realized he was going to face the media scrutiny to the hilt and maybe there were some things he didn't want the media to get out there financially? >> i think not only the media but all of his bankruptcy issues, that was certainly going to be an issue but a lot of people thought he really did it to sort of push up his "apprentice" ratings and it probably did. >> so you think it was all just about -- about doing that. roger, do you think was actually ever serious about it? >> i think he was serious about running. i think his ego and his concern about the country, obviously, expressed a lot of that in the run-up to this thing and made a big splash and i agree that the media was ready on the left to really take him apart. the banking system in this country is nationalized now and if you're a threat to the administration, to barack obama's re-election and trump for a while certainly looked like a threat. it's going to be tough for him to ever get a loan again for one of those trump towers. >> he's going to get all the loans he wants, roger. i don't think that's the issue at all. i think that when -- >> sure it is. >> when you look at how he did business, it was not going to stand up to scrutiny either on the right or the left, honestly. >> what do you mean by that? >> we got big problems. >> what do you mean by that? >> what i mean is his -- his bankruptcy issues, how he ran his business earlier on. some of the casino issues, i just don't think it would have stood up to the scrutiny from either side. >> tell me what your listeners were saying. even just as short a time as two weeks ago, trump was ahead in the polls on the republican side. what did your listeners say about why he tanked? >> i'll tell you, it was that speech in las vegas. the speech in las vegas where he dropped the f word several times for people that were liking the sort of reagan democrat message that he had that were coming along, working class folks that said hey, you're going to stick it to the chinese and stick it to our economic system and get us back on top but when that speech happened, the air went out of his chances. >> so roger, do you think it was the speech and using the f bomb? was it the birth certificate issue? what was it for your listeners? >> i got the same thing martha did. there was a lot of reaction, adverse reaction to that speech in vegas. this is a guy, however, conservatives were very enthused about what he did. he got the birth certificate freed up after a couple of years. but he also had for conservatives a very odd idea. that he could call up the oil companies and demand that they roll back gas prices which certainly isn't the conservative view of the power of the president. >> ellen, is that proof that it's one thing to have a lot of straight talk which is what i think the people loved about donald trump. but it's another thing to actually be president and continue with that straight talk? >> yes, in fact, what we actually heard he was going to talk to opec and he was going to get those oil prices down and people -- it wasn't believable. and so people just didn't believe him. they thought he was a lot of hot air in many respects. talked a good game but could he pull it off? >> you have to love even in the state. he said if he did, he still would have won. got to love the guy who is a marketing genius. >> he's a winner. >>

[ male announcer ] beggin' strips! there's no time like beggin' time. and introducing beggin' thick cut. [ hero dog ] i'm gonna need a bigger mouth! nhler derek boogaard was found dead in his home. they believe it may have been related to an injury on the ice. they're going to figure out if that indeed is true. joining us is the director for neurosciences at northern west chester hospital who is also a neurosurgeon. welcome, doctor. >> pleasure to be with you. >> let's take a look at images of a normal brain. a difference in that. this is the brain scan images. >> the study on the left shows a normal brain and we see the microscopic vision on the left -- on the lower part of the screen. and that shows the brain cells are normal. >> that looks good. >> if you look at the middle image, you're seeing a slice of the brain and you see that area that the brownish area and that's an abnormal area related to trauma. this is from an athlete who has had repeated trauma and you see below, that the brain cells now. you see those spots and those are abnormal tangles of brain cells and further to the right is a boxer who retired and then they got his brain and you see there's even more damage in the lower image with so many spots there in the brain. >> so derek's brain, 28 years old. you wouldn't expect somebody to die suddenly. we're trying to find out probably within two weeks of what happened. when you see his track record and the fact that he was fighting a lot, does that make you suspicious right away? >> well, what they're really looking for is to see if there has been damage to the brain from protracted injuries from multiple concussions. it's not so much if he died from that. it's more because we want to understand what happens when there is a concussion especially when there are multiple concussions. >> now, the reason why i think this is important, besides, you know you don't want to see anyone die and he has a lot of fans fortunate fans. i'm talking about a high school kid that plays at any level right now. what if they're more susceptible to the pros? >> sure, the kids have a developing brain so the areas for speech and motor control aren't fully formed yet. >> memory. >> memory is, of course, very important. ability to have higher reasoning. so if you damage those areas, you're going to have problems developing those -- those abilities as you get older. >> and usually the equipment isn't as good. when you get to the pros, you get the best of the best. with everybody cutting back on the budget, maybe the helmets aren't so great. >> they're not trained as a professional athlete on how to avoid injuries and the coaches and other team members don't know how to recognize the concussion as readily so it's really important for the coaches to be able to recognize when a kid has a significant head injury. doesn't mean you've been knocked out much you don't have to be out to have a concussion. be a little dazed, a little loss of coordination. a little bit of fogginess is enough to be able to define a concussion. >> that's a good thing, i know you'll be looking at this study because the whole world is watching this, especially the game of hockey is watching this so we can take what they learned from the 28-year-old's brain. >> it's important to understand this to avoid injuries to athletes and to others who have head injuries in general. >> thanks so much. >> pleasure to be here with you. >> nice to see you. >> meanwhile, straight ahead, a high court decides the police don't need a warrant to storm your house. will that decision really stand? judge napolitano weighs in. and then in syria, government protesters are dying in the streets. so why won't the u.s. step in like we did in syria and libya, rather, why syria may have a hand up on the white house.

"knock on wood" she sang. >> i got to ring your bell right now with a fox news alert. here it is, live look at queen elizabeth ii arriving in dublin, ireland. and before she got there, there was a bomb scare! the bomb was found on a bus in the city of nayneuss. a second bomb scare turned out to be a false alarm. ireland has some of the tightest security in its history for the queen's visit and the first visit by a british monarch since ireland won their independence from the u.k. in 1921. this is a huge day. hopefully it will be a safe one. in the meantime, an extreme weather alert. record crest expected in greenville, mississippi as it continues to flood the south. jonathan sierry is live for us at a levee that's holding back the water at least for now. >> at least for now. the river is expected to crest a foot below the record set in 1927, to give you an idea of this levee system, take a look at the old levee. this road that they paved leading up to the casino over here, where it goes up to the top of the hill will show you the height of this levee back in 19 -- >> little problem with our audio with jonathan serre live from mississippi. try to get that back shortly. >> breaking news, a huge story while you were sleeping. shocking confession from former california governor arnold schwarzenegger. "the los angeles times" says that schwarzenegger admits he fathered a child with a woman who worked on his household staff for 20 years. schwarzenegger say the child was born more than 10 years ago and that he's been providing support ever since. that's reportedly the reason why he and maria shriver, his wife of 25 years recently separated. she learned about his secret child a few months ago and decided to move out and move on. bail denied for the head of the international monetary fund. he is accused of sexually assaulting a maid at a luxury hotel in times square, new york. dominique strauss-khan was a potential presidential candidate in france and is now being held at new york's reichers island. the encounter with the maid was consensu consensual, his lawyers say. he's due back in court on friday. a second woman says strauss-khan sexually assaulted her 10 years ago and she's ready to file charges. a black bear wandered into a suburb of washington state, climbed up a tree near an apartment complex. there it goes. they shot him with a tranquilizer and when he fell, they caught him with a parachute. the bear is ok. >> the bear couldn't be reached for questioning. i heard the floods are forcing a lot of bears out of the woods. a lot of wildlife period. the snakes are really thick down there right now. >> i'm not worried about the -- i'm worried about the snakes that are chasing the bears. so if you see the bear running, run because the bear is right behind him. >> speaking of running, was he actually ever running. >> i think so. >> you know what? i think he probably was running, too, in his head until he asked for the birth certificate of the president, the president delivered. the mainstream media attacked him. anyway, yesterday, he made it official, he will not be running. he made the announcement there as you can see at an nbc event unveiling the fall schedule. here's mr. trump. >> i've decided that we are going to continue onward with "celebrity apprentice." we're going to continue making lots and lots of money for charity. i will not be running for president as much as i'd like to. and i want to thank everybody very much. >> i think it's really interesting. it's an interesting depiction of politics in america right now. you have to look at why the american people were so enthralled with donald trump. was it really his political policies or was it the fact that he spoke from what his true feelings were? i was going to say he spoke from the hip but i think that's the wrong phrase. something like that. you know what i mean. he spoke his mind. is that what the people liked about him? and then did he get into a little troubled waters? did the birth certificate thing? was that not a good thing in the end? was releasing the f bomb during a speech not a good thing? he tanked in the polls in the last couple of weeks. you have to wonder if that plays into his ultimate decision. >> here's the trump press release. this decision does not come easily or without any regret especially when my candidacy continues to be rated by the top contenders. if i was to run, i would be able to win the primary and ultimately the general election. however, business is my greatest passion and i'm not ready to leave the private sector. few things stand out with me. number one, i don't think any candidate whether it's mike huckabee, john mccain, or herman cain would have been able to withstand the attack that he has gotten from -- >> it was withering. >> from the snl speech, the correspondents dinner where the president attacked him for about half-hour. seth myers attacked him for half-hour. snl attacked him. "the daily show" attacked him on a daily basis. every other network was attacking him and then the capture of bin laden. he didn't have a chance to answer because he wasn't in the news cycle. >> take you to task a little bit on this. i can think in recent history all the attacks on female politicians as well. if you call up sarah palin and hillary clinton, they would have a word or two to say about being attacked in the media. it comes with the territory. >> why isn't sarah palin running? >> donald trump is used to being in the forefront and he knows how to put his name out there. it's on every building in new york city. this isn't the first time he's been attacked. this is about having his financial business and possibly other things coming to life that maybe he didn't want the rest of the world to know. >> he knew may was coming up and he knew he had to ultimately disclose it. if he knew that, why did he get in to begin with? he's going to iowa and new hampshire. >> i don't think he got out because the media was too harsh on him. >> i think the mainstream media really was attacking him and they didn't really go after him until he was number one in the polls and as soon as -- suddenly, he represented a threat to, perhaps, barack obama. and the mainstream media went after him. >> the conservative party, too, guys like karl rove. that's what makes karl rove a great analyst because if he doesn't like the candidate if you're republican or democrat, he went after him. a lot of republicans say he's hurting. >> do you think the next number one contender on the republican side, do you think the media won't go after him either? this is the way it works, folks. they'll go after whether it's a woman or man, they'll go after that person, too. that's unfortunately the way politics works and that's why many good people decide not to even start on the path of politics because of that. >> herman cain, if you start in the polls, they'll come after you. he was an important guy in the restaurant association and was president there for a while. he weighed in on donald dropping out. >> i was never threatened or concerned about donald trump in the first place. to be perfectly honest because bullyi bullying, being a bully is not a leadership strategy. not if you want to lead the united states of america. >> here's something that scott reed who is a long time g.o.p. strategist said regarding mr. trump. he said donald trump was an anti-establishment figure who demonstrated the importance of taking the debate right to obama. frontally and hard which the eventual g.o.p. must do daily to win. our question for you, do you think that donald trump actually was ever running for president? give us an e-mail, friends at foxnews.com. curious to see what america thinks. >> in the meantime, somebody who is probably definitely going to run for president now as a result of huckabee and trump being out is michelle bachmann, the congresswoman from minnesota. she could probably pick up a lot of that huckabee support. maybe not the trump support but the huckabee support. she's a similar candidate and she's from iowa. remember, huckabee won the iowa primary the last time around. now he's out. could that mean that michelle bachmann could be in in iowa? >> you know, on monday, there was a major speech given by paul ryan and he felt as though he had to define exactly what my plan has and my path to prosperity which includes medicare and medicaid, what it's actually about and there's no secret he went to chicago for a reason, because he wants to explain right where president obama was once senator obama and called home. he defended his proposals and defended his plan. at least he's looking at it honestly and a way in which america can afford it in the future. here he is. >> medicare is not the train being pulled along by the engine of rising costs. medicare is the engine and the rest of us are getting taken for a ride. this disagreement isn't really about the problem. it's about the solution to controlling costs in medicare. and if i could sum up the disagreement in a couple of sentences, i would say this. our plan is to give seniors the power to deny business to inefficient providers. their plan -- their plan quite to the opposite, is to give the government the power to deny care to seniors. >> ok, so there he is at the economic club of chicago last night. one of the critics he was answering is someone from his own party, newt gingrich who on a sunday program took a shot at mr. ryan. look at this. >> i don't think right wing social engineering is anymore desirable for left wing social engineering. >> mr. ryan shot back at newt gingrich last night. he said with allies like that, who needs the left? >> i'll tell you what, newt gingrich got it from rush limbaugh and got it from pat buchanan. >> got it from everybody. >> who said his candidacy is now dead. >> what are you doing? >> couple of days into it. it was definitely damage control for most of the day for gingrich yesterday. see how that pans out. in the meantime, more new details and information coming out about the killing of usama bin laden and there's a new report out this morning that says that the seals raid almost went horribly wrong. now, of course, we got a glimmer of some of that when we found out initially on that night that that chopper had malfunctioned and they had to land so instead of repelling down and doing it all as a secret mission, they actually had to say here we are. here we are to come in and get you and instead of maybe going in on one of the top levels initially, they had to start at the ground floor level. that is one of the big pieces of information coming out now. >> it was going to be a squeeze play. they were going to repel down from the choppers but when the one had the hard landing right there and it sounds like we're going to get the tail rotor back. they were going to say we have to do everything. they landed the second chopper out there. they came in and blew some doors. they were going to come in from the roof and the ground floor, a squeeze play. that didn't work out. instead, brian, they wound up going door by door. they got up to the third floor and found bin laden and there were two women, according to this report who threw themselves at the seals trying to protect bin laden. >> including a lot of kids. in the end, he's dead and we're going the chopper down as soon as today. senator john kerry, chairman of the senate relations committee said he worked out that deal with the pakistanis. i'll believe it when it's on the flatbed. let me tell you what's coming up. she claims she's just a good mom. giving her 8-year-old daughter botox before a beauty pageant. now that mom is losing custody. >> a new test that promises to reveal your true age. what it says about your life span when one of the scientists working the project joins us live. 14 clubs. that's what they tell us a legal golf bag can hold. and while that leaves a lite room for balls and tees, it doesn't leave room for much else. there's no room left for deadlines or conference calls. not a single pocket to hold the stress of the day, or the to-do list of tomorrow. only 14 clubs pick uthe right one and drive it right down the middle of pure michigan. your trip begins at michigan.org. aflac! oh, i've just got major medical... major medical. ...but it helps pay the doctors. pays the doctors, boyyy!

[ male announcer ] help protect your family at aflac.com. [ pigeons ] heyyy! hooo!!! >> violence in syria exploding this morning as it has for weeks. gunfire and explosion says reported. hundreds of people escape the country to avoid the harsh crackdown that we haven't seen in many places against anti-government protests. more than 800 people have been killed already since mid march. now the white house blames syria for inciting the deadly violence and the government there to deflect attention from its harsh government policies on its own people so why isn't the white house taking action against syria, iran's strongest ally? jim phillips is the senior research fellow for middle eastern affairs with the heritage foundation. jim, we saw some syrians go across the golan heights border through that fence for the first time in a long time. how does that -- what message does that send to israel? >> i think this is the tacit threat to israel that if the international community keeps pressuring the assad regime, it will unleash some of its palestinian partners to stir up conflict on israel's borders and it's believed that many of the hundreds of people that tried to march into israel and dismantle the border fence were living in palestinian refugee camps in syria and that's another way they use palestinians to advance the narrow interests of the syrian regime. >> we only know a little bit about the brutal crackdown that's going on. they are killing hundreds. they're detaining more. they're splitting up families. they're rounding up protesters. they're in 40 cities. yet, this minority run government is still holding on to power. what should we be doing? >> well, i think the obama administration, unfortunately, is clinging to a policy of wishful thinking and seeks to engage the regime in syria. and, unfortunately, as long as it continues to take that policy, the regime is going to go about its business repressing its own people, supporting terrorism. trying to ward off trouble in lebanon. it's been caught red handed working with the north koreans to build a nuclear reactor. it's still stonewalling the iaea investigation on that nuclear reactor. i think it's time to get tough with the regime. >> but we don't have leverage because we don't have much trade with him anymore. we need europe to start levying sanctions. >> the europeans need to step up to the plate and follow suit. it would help if the obama administration admitted that its poll of engagement has failed because that gives protective cover to the europeans to continue business as usual with syria. >> is it possible that assad is better than the alternative? that there's an extremist islamic movement in that country. what do you think? >> i think this is a predatory regime that's responsible for the death of tens of thousands of syrians and it's difficult to imagine a worst regime especially from an american view if we're interested in nonprelinonpr nonproliferation and winning the war on terrorism. >> i have to let you go. what's the message? when mubarak is going to go on trial and his family is going to go to life in prison, why would any dictator hang on to rule when they know the worst is yet to come. thank you for breaking it down for us. >> thank you. >> straight ahead, expect a big change in the produce you pay at the pump. this one not what experts saw coming. should this mom lose custody of her 8-year-old daughter for providing a little prepageant botox. we report, you decide. that's a beautiful smile. being e is actually finding choices the whole family will love. then we discovered chex cereals. five flavors of chex are gluten-free, including the honey nut flavor, and that's amazing to a mom like me. as a parent you don't want to have to tell your kids "no" all the time. it's nice for me to be able to say "yes" to something that they want to eat. [ male announcer ] chex cereal. five flavors. gluten free. to something that they want to eat. mmm. ahh. yeah. bacon. come celebrate baconalia! only at denny's. america's diner is always open. >> hey, now time for news by the numbers. let's start with first, $3.94. that's the national average for a gallon of gasoline according to a -- according to triple a. that's down $0.07 from a week ago. next, 23. that's the age of alex torpe, the new mayor of south orange, new jersey. he's the youngest mayor ever in the state and he won by just 14 votes and finally, 25,000. he broke his own guiness record eating 25,000 mcdonald's big mac's today. that's some special sauce. he was featured in the film "supersize me" and he says his cholesterol is just fine but his taste buds don't work. no kidding. hey, gretch. >> hi, steve. all right, thanks, brian. a mom loses custody of her child for giving her 8-year-old daughter botox shots for beauty pageants. >> i do it but it hurts sometimes but i get used to it. i do it right here. >> what do you do it for? >> i don't know. >> do you do it because you see wrinkles? >> oh, yeah. i see like wrinkles. >> just telling me about the lines on her face and how, you know, a lot of the moms there are giving their kids botox and it's pretty much like the thing. i'm not the only one that does it. >> you got to be kidding me. 8 years old and wrinkles. after that interview, child protective services apparently stepped in and moved the girl from the home while they investigate. peter johnson jr. is here. peter, this is a troubling story across the board. >> it's a story that stunned the nation. the outrage is incredible. after we talked about it last week on "fox & friends", i got an e-mail from dr. michael baden talking about the toxicity of this poison basically that was allegedly being, you know, injected into this girl. >> that the mother bought on line. >> she bought on line. apparently, she's not a physician and not a physician's assistant. she's what's called an esthetician but in my review, those folks aren't supposed to be doing this and certainly not to an 8-year-old but the mystery continues. abc news has said that the child has been taken away but they're not saying where. there's some reports that san francisco had been investigating it. but now there's concerns, is the woman's name really carrie campbell? what was she actually, you know, injecting in this young girl? and where is the girl and where's the mother at this point? so we don't specifically know. >> there seems to be a lot of problems here legal and otherwise. i mean, first of all, should people be able to order botox on the internet? that's the first thing. second of all, for this child, does this mean child endangerment charges are obvious or do you have -- it would seem to most parents, this is obvious but then when you think about how the courts work, you got to wonder, it's probably pretty tough to take a kid away from a mom. >> i think you're right. it is obvious and it's hard to take a child away from his mom and that's one of the things that i was grappling with in a legal and ethical sense last week, how do you discuss this in a way that's responsible? but once you're aware of it and once you tape videotape of something like this, put yourself as a journalist and you're going and you're seeing this and then you're putting it on the air. what do you then do about it to ensure that that child is taken care of? it's fine to show the videotape. it's fine to express the outrage. but then what's the next step? i think most americans believe that child protective services need to look at it carefully. the goal now in america with child protective services and child welfare is not to take the child away. it's to temporarily take the child away, do psychiatric evaluations. see what's going on. if the family can be reunited, keep the family together. >> peter, if the state or local government, whoever took the kid away, if they say they're taking the child away because the parent was endangering the child, could that parent be charged? auto autoed absolutely. because a person could be charged in terms of injecting something illegally into a minor, endangering the welfare of a child which is the criminal charge in all 50 states but we need some sunshine as a disinfectant in this case. i don't know what abc has said about this today but we need full disclosure. when did this take place? where's the mother? what procedure is going on? when is the hearing? america really needs to know and wants to know about what's going on here now that we've heard about it. >> all good questions. >> it is a sad story and a hard story. >> it's an amazingly sad story. >> talk about cashing in. some government workers getting six figure checks for unused vacation days in a state that's broke. you have to hear this one. >> and it's a new test that tells how long you might live. one new scientist behind the project will be here live to explain how it works and would you take it?

>> we're doing ok. so this has been depicted as a blood test that will predict how long you will live. is that accurate or does this really tell you how your body is biologically aging? >> it tells you how your body is biologically aging so everybody understands chronological age but in fact, people age at different rates and this is the first very accurate test that can tell you within a reasonable range how biologically old your body is. >> what will people -- people will be so fascinated by this doctor. and i -- it's my understanding that, let's say that your parents or your grandparents lived into their 90's, that will be an indication of how long they'll live and you'll be able to see that in this blood test. >> that's correct. it's clear understanding that you inherit the length of it, that's part of it. your lifestyle can, in fact, modify how rapidly you lose the ends of our -- the ends of our chromosomes called telemeres and it's clear that a lot of stress can at least temporarily reduce the length and there's many other correlateive studies that suggests this is not just a standard rate of shortening. this test will tell you relative to thousands of normal controls at various ages where your telomeres fall. do you have telomeres, if you're 60 years old, do you have telomeres of a 70-year-old or a 50-year-old? so in that regard, it will tell you something about how your body is aging. >> what about you? did you take it? >> i have not had it yet. >> why not? >> what's going on? >> well, the company is -- the company which is called life link is in madrid, spain, and sometime this fall i'll be there and maybe i will have it done. but they're actually going to be -- go ahead. >> do you worry about -- it would all be fascinating although, you know, we want good news and not bad news when it comes to how long we're going to live. don't you worry about the fact that if this information got into the hands of an employer or insurance company, they might say, you know what? this guy is not going to live very long. exactly. >> well, there's no question for anything that scientists discover. there's a good and a bad part of that. the hope is that we could keep this as we do most biological essays in confidence. there's certain codes of ethics that every company has to follow when you're studying d.n.a. and so i think it is important to recognize this could be misused by insurance companies setting the rates of life insurance policies based on the projected longevity of an individual. >> dr. shea, you could say i have long telomeres and i'll get hit by a bus. i could be a dead guy with long telomeres. >> that's correct. there's a lot of things that can intervene in this. it's an exciting, new test. >> it's fascinating. it shows you what era we live in and what science can tell us. thank you very much for giving us just the beginning of what it's all about. >> you're very welcome. >> glad we had microscopes. >> indeed. >> meanwhile, what do your kids know about capitalism?

defending our kids from the liberalists assault acapitalism." good morning. > >> blake your teacher said what that prompted the book? >> well, my teacher said that -- i've been hearing it's all the bank's fault, the financial crisis is all the bank's fault. and also my teacher printed up a -- we were learning about debating and she printed up something that said, a company is making something and that smoke is going into the air. the environmentalists are worried it's going to hurt the environment. >> right. who's side? >> you went home and reported to your father who talks about capitalism 24 hours a day. >> it was a classic question, steve. it was -- the company says if it were to cut down on its emissions it would hurt product. 19 out of 19 kids in her class came up with shut it down. all she did was bring up the other side and what if they make pharmaceuticals that save lives? what if they make fertilizer? >> if you're fair and balanced at 11 years old, fantastic. >> that's fox news's -- that's the slogan. i agree with that. >> also because you watch your dad on television talk about capitalism and this is not an attack on teachers. >> not at all. she has great teachers. >> this is just to support the other side. >> we want to tweak the free market teachings that i don't think kids get in grade school. i'm sure they don't get it in college from what i can tell from most academics and professors but i don't think it's too early to start if she wants to start a business, steve and make a lot of money and have a great life and employ hundreds of people, should she have to, you know, hide as she walks around because she's a business person or a ceo? >> sure. a lot of people your age, blake, don't think of capitalism as a good thing when they listen to the stuff that is discussed in class. >> well, a lot of people do think that and i've heard some inappropriate things being said about george bush. >> christie. >> don't even get me started on that. >> don't get me started. think about it, in new jersey. >> my kids hear the same thing at their school. >> in new jersey, in mock elections, i voted for the guy that cares about me and teachers, corzine. and not for the one who wants to help millionaires. >> i remember when i -- when i was only in third grade, i hadn't -- i mean in second grade, i hadn't learned anything about this subject. so -- and i said, and we do a fake little election at school. it's a fun thing. >> fake election at school. they're rigged! those elections are rigged! >> it says the guy that cares about the environment. the guy that cares more about business. the guy that cares about the people. and, you know, when it's that set up, you want to -- it's loaded. >> absolutely. who's the book for? people her page or people our age? >> people our age. >> people their age. your age. >> she's a sounding board. she sets up teachable moments where i can go off. or actually it's fairly reasonable, though, and reasoned. there's a lot of adam smith, you know, there's basic free market economics and it's been the greatest engine of prosperity the world has ever known and american exceptionalism is better than it's ever been. i hate the idea that somehow we're -- you hear president obama, belgians think they're exceptional like they think we're exceptional. wrong answer! wrong answer! >> american exceptionalism is not something you learn in class, is it? >> why not? >> you learn about tenure. >> sure. absolutely. >> she learned about tenure. >> that's -- what is it? >> and unions! >> i'm sure. absolutely. >> i have nothing against unions. >> no. >> well, you know. >> public unions. >> public unions. public unions. >> to be around the kitchen table at the kernan house. >> if you want me to tell you what the teachers say tenure is, then i will. >> real quickly. >> ok. it's something that protects teachers from being fired for unimportant little boo-boos. >> yeah. unimportant little boo-boos. >> tenure in elementary school, i don't understand that, though. >> sounds like a great book. check it out. joe and blake kernan, the book is called "your teacher said what"?

>> let's take a look at some of this dough. for example, when a prison doctor in california retired, he had a payout of almost $600,000 of unused vacation time. how did that happen? >> well, that's not just -- that's not pension. that is unused vacation which is just a small slice of his overall retirement package. it happens because of lack of oversight and, of course, everything in california is a reflection of the extraordinary political power of the public employee unions. these contracts are written in a manner that really these people can make millions of dollars over the course of their careers in ways that just don't -- aren't reflected in private sector. >> and that's your beef with this whole thing. you say that in the private sector, there are rules and regulations with record to vacation time so, for example, if you don't use it within a given year, you only have a small period of time to make it up, right? >> yes and that also reflects bad management in terms of managing your personnel. if they're not taking vacations, vacations are there for a reason, to make sure that people are rested and they recuperate and recharge. and if people aren't taking a vacation, then there's a problem there. and yet, to also let them accrue without limitations throughout the course of entire career all the unused vacation, you know, that's going to hit the public treasury in a really bad way as happened in this case with this guy cashing out with almost $600,000 in unused vacation. >> let's take a look at the statement from lanelle jolly from the california department of personnel and administration. she noshegotiates with employee. a lot has to do with hiring freezes. you have people working in core positions that they can't take time off. because they can't hire as many people because the state's broke, that the people they do have hired can't go on vacation. is that a legitimate excuse? >> no, it's not. because, you know, we see some of the staffing requirements mandated by these union contracts. for example, in the prison guard's contract, if there's a comatose patient who is in his 80's, it still requires at least two or three guards to monitor that person. that makes no sense at all. the staffing requirements are absurd, requiring staffing levels that really aren't necessary for the situation. >> very true. >> so again, there are a lot of people milking the system in california. >> very interesting. >> this is another reflection of it. >> we thought it was just the whole pension thing that the state couldn't afford that. now it's vacation time. >> it's a lot more. well, keep us posted and bring us more of these stories. >> will do. >> he's the president of the howard jarvis taxpayers association. coming up on our show, wave good-bye to the old search warrant. police can barge into their home at their own discretion. can that really stand?

"fox & friends" starts right now. # >> steve: is it like a tupperware party? >> gretchen: kind of. brian is mystified by the whole concept. but we're talking to the woman who wrote the book on this and she says these kind of parties are growing more popular. it's not like celebrating the demise of the marriage. it's celebrating the fact that you can get divorced and the, which habli. >> brian: the rest of the divorces are rocky fees. >> steve: the headlines politically this morning, donald trump has announced that he is not going to run for president of the united states. he said -- he made an appearance at the nbc up front. they tipped their hand earlier when they released the fall line - up and there was "celebrity apprentice." they said if he's going to run for president, he'll replace it. trump would have none of that. he'll be the star of the show next season. >> brian: i thought he was going to use it to build ratings on his show. how could they announce a football season? you could easily tell your audience, we'll have another famous billionaire in there for a few years. >> gretchen: you would say nbc should cover for the donald while he was waiting to make his decision on becoming president? >> exactly. >> gretchen: the facts are that donald was very popular at the beginning because he shot it from the hip. he told people the basic facts and that was very attractive to a love the people. but then he got on the birther issue and then he dropped the f bomb and a lot of people thought that would not be presidential. he's like everyone else. i think he looked at the polls and he had gone from being at the top to the bottom and he realized there was going to be a lot of disclosure and thought it wasn't a good idea. >> steve: i think he was really shocked at how the main stream media came after him with chain saws once he was up at the top of the polls and the number -- they came out, they attacked him nonstop. he was surprised. but he said this yesterday: i maintain the strong conviction that if i were to run, i would be able to win the primary and ultimately the general election. ultimately, however, business is my greatest passion and i am not ready to leave the private sector. he probably also would not like the gigantic pay cut he would have to take. >> brian: i don't think any candidate, i don't care if it's mitt romney or hillary clinton, could have survived the blitz from -- i think the president of the united states going off for 25 minutes, seth myers doing 2 1/2 hours on him. then you have the daily show, snl and then the conservative base of the republican party just went after him. >> gretchen: our show has been under attack from some of those very same outlets and we're still number one. i think this is the way of television. this is the way of politics. but think about ten to 15 years when he was having all those marital issues. that was huge news back then. he's used to being under attack and note to sarah palin and hillary clinton and a bunch of others, they know what that feels like. unfortunately, this is the era we live in with regard to attack, some will say, only on the gop side. but this is why people don't get into politics and i think that's the sad commentary that we can get from this. >> brian: what you're missing, too, about sarah palin is she had the backing of the party. you had nobody except donald trump -- >> gretchen: she didn't. >> brian: you had jerry seinfeld, you had the so-called hollywood people turn on him. so you had the washington insiders turn on him, say who is this outsider? i think with the attack coming on, he could see very little upside. in terms of his finances, they thought he was too low in the rankings. he was worth 700 million instead of a billion. that could still get awe few votes. >> steve: ultimately, do you think he was ever actually running for president or was it just the gigantic publicity scheme, if it was a publicity scheme, it was great for the program? if it was actually a run for the presidency, it probably was the whole president releasing his birth certificate and the polls and the main stream media that ultimately undid him. but he's going to be making a lot of money, he said yesterday, millions for charity in the upcoming season. it looks like michelle bachman is probably -- this probably opens the door for her. keep in mind, mike huckabee, a couple days earlier, also on a television show, announced he's not going to run and now you've got donald trump and a whole bunch of solid republicans who are saying, okay, who am i going to vote for? let me consider her. >> gretchen: the important person dropping out for michelle bachman's concerns is mike huckabee because he won the iowa primary the last time around and they would poll from the same type of constituent base. she was born in iowa. so i really think this raises her stake in that state specifically because of huckabee. at the same time, how does it affect mitt romney? yesterday you had one of these sort of telethon fundraising events and it shows he can still raise a heck of a lot of dough. he raised $10.25 million in a single day. does that mean now that republicans will really start to coalesce around mitt romney now that trump is out and that huckabee is out, or will they still say that his whole health care plan in massachusetts, that they can't get past that? >> brian: it's a good sign that after making a speech to define where he stood on health care, they still got $10 million a couple of days later. keep in mind, the last big name that we really don't know about yet that is considering is mitch daniels who is supposed to give us an answer toward the end of the month. if he was to get in, he said it looks like he'll get the backing of governor christie, governor barber and walker that. will show next generation republicans to have in their corner. >> steve: we told you it would happen yesterday and it did. we officially hit the national debt ceiling. there it is right now at 14.382 and a whole bunch of other numbers, officially the federal government is now running on fumes. tim geithner and company figured a way to move some money around through different accounts so we will be solvent in a way, so we do avoid default through the second day of august. >> gretchen: how is he doing that? basically stealing money from employee retirement funds, but they have to pay it back. it goes to show you how they can move around the cash and make good on certain things. i don't know. it's kind of frustrating to the american public because it's just three more months of congress not getting their act together to figure out what to do about it. here are other things that they're going to be remaining solvent. accounts to be made whole when the debt ceiling is made. >> brian: coming up shortly, i'll be talking to senator of utah, how he feels about the debt ceiling. it's intriguing to see what john boehner put toward because he said if you want me to raise the ceiling a dollar, cut a dollar. if the president is going to go ahead and put forward a small amount of money to raise the debt ceiling, then the debt ceiling will be hit almost right away and does the president want to revisit this debate when the election is even closer?

is it swelling? we hit the debt ceiling. john boehner says republicans will not agree to raise the limit unless congress agrees to trim trillions in spending. but our next guest is taking a step further. utah congress -- senator mike lee wants his colleagues to sign a letter pledging to oppose the raising of the debt ceiling until congress passes a balanced budget amendment. that's bold stuff. first things first, on the debt ceiling, how do we get through it? we thought the world was going to end by today. >> yeah, and the world didn't end. we're still standing here. the fact is that we are rapidly approaching the point beyond which we will not be able to borrow any more money, whether it's now or whether it's in august, debatable and they're using tricky accounting to extend our debt limit a little farther. but regardless, we have to have some kind of permanent structural spending reform in place in order to make sure we're not back in the same position if and when the debt ceiling is raised again. i think that we have no business raising the debt limit again until we first put in place a balanced budget amendment to the constitution. >> brian: that's going to take a lot of votes coming your way. do you think you have those votes? you got the republican party perhaps in spirit going along with you. but do you think that the democrats will? >> well, we would have to get all 47 republicans in the senate and then all 20 democrats on top of that. i voted on an amendment a few months ago, gauging support for a balanced budget amendment. we got 54. we need nine more on top of that. >> brian: the problem was when you looked at all these things that are supposed to happen when you hit a certain limit, you watch creative accountants who work for very smart senators go around it and beat the system. that's what's happened before. you think this will put a stop to all that? >> yes, i do. the reason is, the problem with statutory spending waivers, if they're not accompanied by an amendment to the constitution, can always be repealed by congress. congress is a walking, breathing waiver unto itself. it can always waive its own restrictions as long as they're statutory. august you can't do that when they're constitutional. >> looking at the debt ceiling, where are we at in negotiations? we understand the new day is august 2 because we're rating different funds we shouldn't be. geithner moved money around and the tax revenue is coming in at such a rate that we can pay some things off. in terms of, where are we looking to get an answer to some type of agreement? >> as far as the timing of it, if that's your question -- >> brian: i tell you what, is it vice president biden talking about the budget that will lend to these negotiation as soon as is it the speaker working with the president for these negotiation as soon as where are we at? >> it's a combination of all the above. vice president biden had been meeting with legislative leaders to iron that out, but there have been extensive intraparty discussions in both houses of congress and both political parties. >> brian: senator, on top of that, there has been controversy within the republican party about how much you're embracing or not embracing congressman ryan's path to prosperity. how does senator mike lee feel about it? >> i intend to support it. i think it's a bold move in the right direction. it doesn't balance on its own and, of course, we'll need to tweak that as we move forward because i think we've got to move to a point within the next decade in which we're balancing our budget. but it is a bold move in the right direction and i intend to support it. >> brian: it looks like trump and huckabee both out for sure. we don't know about mitch daniels. who do you lean toward supporting? who intrigues you the most? >> look, we've got good candidates that i intend to allow that process to play itself forward. i know a couple of the candidates well. governor romney and the governor of united states. i look forward to seeing how they position themselves as people who can identify a pathway forward toward a balanced budget amendment. >> brian: we'll see the whole field should be out shortly and the first big test will be the iowa straw poll. that should be interesting. senator lee, good luck with your balanced budget amendment and it will be a tough road to hoe. thanks. >> rick: thank you. >> brian: straight ahead, those close to congressman paul ryan urging him to run for a seat in the u.s. senate and breaking news, just moments ago, on plans for that job. then your president requested as we celebrate our separation. what's behind the new craze called divorce parties? where was that guy's head? ah! fiber one honey clusters cereal! that's really good! it tastes good, so there can't be fiber in it! it's actually got about half a day's worth of fiber. [ fiber seeker ] really? try it. [ mr. mehta ] honey, touch of brown sugar, crunchy clusters -- any cardboard? [ male announcer ] cardboard no, delicious yes. >> steve: time for headlines. today pakistan will return the wreckage, what is left of that stealth u.s. chopper that went down in the raid on osama bin laden's compound. commandos tried to destroy it, but the tail section remained intact. china says a report that it wanted to inspect the wreckage to copy the technology is absurd. yeah, right. and breaking news from wisconsin. fox news confirms former wisconsin governor and u.s. secretary of health and human services tommy thompson plans to run for the senate seat being vacated by wisconsin democrat herb cole. he only intends to run if current wisconsin congressman paul ryan declines. so far mr. ryan has not commented. gretchen? >> gretchen: thank you, steve. cheers to your divorce? a new trend to throw divorce parties to celebrate moving on from a failed marriage. >> we are gathered here today in the presence of friends and family to celebrate my best friend's divorce. and the beginning of her new life. a life without him. >> gretchen: joining us now is relationship expert laura dade, also the author of the novel "the divorce party." good morning to you. >> good morning. >> gretchen: so when many people hear about this, their initial reaction is oh, that sounds so horrible! what kind of world do we live in now? why are we seeing these parties becoming popular? >> there is really two kinds of divorce parties that are becoming popular. one is the party that you just showed, which is someone really celebrating being single again and the kind of divorce party i talk about in my novel, the compassionate divorce party, which is two people together who have been married, saying the marriage isn't working out, but we love each other, we love our family and friends and we're going to find a compassionate ending here. i think that's becoming -- i'm sorry. >> gretchen: so what you're saying is that instead of ending the marriage acountry moaniously like so many divorces, that maybe it's celebrating the fact that the couple no longer wants to be together, but that they vow to get along still? >> yes, exactly. they vow to move forward in a way that no one is having to choose sides, that their family and friends can feel great about embracing both of them as they find the next step in their life. >> gretchen: one tip you give is to make sure the divorce is actually over. i mean complete, papers signed, before you have this party. why is that so important? >> well, i think because there is hard feelings that happen over the course of any difficult breakup, especially over the course of a divorce. you really want to make sure that you are celebrating for the right reasons, that you are both in a good position as you are facing the future. >> gretchen: i got some tweets on this topic because i posted it on or twitter page. some people said things like, i imagine that it micah that is rightic, but they still felt like it was depressing. what do you say? >> i think the best thing is to find a way to be compassionately invested in your marriage and if that's no longer a possibility, compassionately end your marriage feels like a positive second choice. >> gretchen: i understand your book did so well that it's actually going to be made into a movie now? >> that's what we hope. jennifer aniston and kristen hahn's production company auctioned the rights and everything seems to be moving forward in a positive way. we're very excited. >> gretchen: wow. your novel is called "the divorce party." i guess this is what we're doing in 2011. laura dave, great to speak with you this morning. thanks so much. >> thank you. >> gretchen: let's go back down to the control room to see what steve and brian are up to. >> steve: thank you very much. this mom lost custody of her eight-year-old forgiving her a prepageant botox. does the punishment fit the crime? we're reading your e-mails and your tweets. >> brian: then, you have seen this picture before. but wait until you see who just got picked to pick john mccain and he's wearing the make-up. >> steve: and doug gray, come on in here, from the marshall tucker band stopping by, we'll go off to the curvy couch. he'll tell us about your brand-new tour of iraq. >> brian: you just were there. you got another project coming up?

more saving. more doing. that's the power of the home depot. right now, roundup weed & grass killer or ortho weed-b-gon max is ju $8.88. >> steve: we've got a story that has lighted up our e-mail machine. we've told you over the last week or so about this mom out in california in the san francisco area. that little eight-year-old daughter of hers is apparently a frequent beauty pageant contestant. the daughter felt as the mother did, that she had some wrinkles and so the mother bought on-line some botox and shot her face full of botox. >> gretchen: even when you say the details of the story, on it face it sounds so ridiculous. here is an e-mail from laurie in tennessee, i think the mother should be put on probation and seek psychological help. but taking the child away will cause more harm. i think the mother is crazy for what she did, but needs help not to have her child taken away. >> brian: it's traumatic for the child. paula in south carolina says charges should be filed against this woman for using botox. she ordered on-line and injecting it herself. she's not trained. would she inject antifreeze if the kid said the other moms were doing it? >> steve: good point. from the twitter machine, she should be charged with child endangerment. you wouldn't give your kid other shots without medical need. we need to point out that the child has been taken away from the mother. but peter johnson, jr. was on earlier and he doesn't know exactly what authority, whether it's a local or state agency that has taken the child. >> gretchen: another tweet said this, this is so sick. what are these mothers doing in telling their little girls these children are going to be messed up. that tweet made the most sense out of a lot of them. >> brian: a nice coat. >> gretchen: let's do a couple headlines. overnight, nato air strikes pounded colonel gadhafi targets in tripoli. at least two government buildings burst into flames, including the police headquarters. this morning, we learned libya's oil minister has defected now to tunisia. he is one of the most prominent people to abanden moammar gadhafi's government. stay tuned for more on that. >> brian: police on high alert in columbus, ohio today. that they expecting hundreds of angry customers against chase banks has shareholders meetings. customers say chase didn't give them a fair shake, it foreclosed on them using unfair practices. >> my sister and my three nephews got kicked out of their house a couple years ago. >> five years ago they told me it would be good if i go get a loan. >> we're not going to put up with this and people across the nation shouldn't. >> brian: they want executives to give up their big bonuses. >> steve: good luck. in a move to end the tsa controversial pat-down, the texas house passed a bill making intrusive touching a crime, punishable by a $4,000 fine and a year in jail for the screener. some already questioning the bill's legality. >> a constitution wants the federal government to handle these issues. the tsa is a federal agency, so it's up to them to regulate themselves. >> steve: what is he doing there? tsa says it needs pat-downs to keep air travel safe. lawmakers argue that metal detectors are just as effective. >> gretchen: expect to see your favorite prehistoric cartoon. yippy! it will be back on tv. watch it. flintstones making a comeback on fox. the creator of family guy is heading up the project. the series enters production this fall. he is add ago modern edge to the show, but many things will stay the same. the original flintstones debuted in 1960. i hope he'll still drive his car with his feet. >> brian: cease so odd because flintstones and star trek had something in common, they wore unitards. there he is! from the marshall tucker band. >> how are you? >> brian: why bring them back? >> so i'll have something to watch. >> brian: okay. >> steve: you just got back from iraq. particularly important about your visit, it was two days after the bin laden raid. tell us about the morale and the spirit of the troops when they heard the news. >> i have to tell you that i'm shocked because i am back and over there doing and watching these guys. the most important thing was that these guys were so excited, more excited than i had ever seen people in a regular concert here in the united states because they excited themselves and because it's mission partially accomplished. to get them back is another. it will be the full accomplishment. and they were happy. we shook hands for two hours. the funniest part is i was signing autographs for the younger guys, 20 years old or so, and then they'd say, i got to have one, my dad heard you were coming over to play, i got to have one for my dad and mom and sister. >> gretchen: what does it do for you? 'cause so many people who go over there and engage with the troops say it changes their lives. >> it did change mind, but it put me back to 1968 when i was a sergeant in vietnam. so i came back and i saw bob hope, which made -- you take five minutes out of their moment and say, hey, we can go back home for a while by marshall tucker being on stage. i want some of those memories to be recaptured through them. let's come back home and they'll come have a good time. >> brian: how do you view the military today, you personally as opposed to what you might have viewed it in the '60s? >> back the '60s i was a lot younger and those kids over there today i think are much more prepared than we ever were. they're trained. they understand that what their mission is. me, i went to vietnam and not to get in calluses patting myself on the back, but you had to learn a lot of stuff. you didn't just do this one thing and this one formula. you had to be somebody's brother at all times in order to somebody catch your back and today, everybody watches everybody's back. >> steve: of course, today, for instance here, one of the things people watch for is the latest political news. as we head into the 2012 presidential complaint, who do you like? >> i like our boston guy up there pretty good. >> steve: mitt romney? >> mitt romney. i think he'll be good once he comes to south carolina, shows them he's a regular guy. he may be able to get away from the mess-up that he had with the health care situation. >> steve: you're not supporting the president of the united states, his reelection bid? >> no. absolutely not. i'd rather -- listen, let's make us proud to be american again. okay? it's that simple. you want somebody else to cover it over, you'll have to get somebody to cover it over. it won't come from me. >> gretchen: one other thing you're proud of, the 40th anniversary of the band. right? you are the only original person in the band and it's the greatest hits release now. one of the things that you said was that you were going to autograph a tambourine for our trivia question winner today. so our trivia question was -- wait. we got too many voices. which song from the marshall tucker song was used in the 2008 movie "swing vote" and the answer, mark anderson from california. he got it right and doug signed the and we'll be shipping it off as a prize. >> steve: this is the official place where you sign it. >> that is. >> brian: doug, i always wanted to tour with a band. i think i could play the tambourine. could i tour with you? can you teach me this? >> actually you don't have to tour. when you're at home, we played last summer on your hometown. we play out there for up with of the festivals. >> brian: really? you were playing there? >> yeah. sure did. >> gretchen: on your hip? >> that's enough. >> gretchen: another piece of trivia, when i was studying up on you, tell everyone how you came up with the name for the band. >> marshall tucker is a blind piano tuner, still lives in south carolina. we had rent add warehouse as a basement of a hotel and we were flipping around and on the key to let us in was marshall tucker. we didn't know who marshall tucker was for the first four years, but a promoter says, we need somebody to put some name to put on the marquee. we said, let's use marshall tucker for the weekend. >> steve: poorly the real marshall tucker says, the band is named after me, people say, sure you are. >> he's retired now. >> steve: does he want money? >> absolutely not. we did merv griffin once, he said, please help me. he said, don't tell people that i'm dead, one of the guys said, hey. we think marshall is dead. one of the biggest things with him is that he is very proud. he always told me they filmed us one time to be together and he said, listen, just make sure the cameras are off. i just want to tell you i'm really proud that you never got my name in trouble even though i know you did. he's a really smart guy. >> gretchen: thank you for going over and meeting with the troops and for your own personal service. >> thank you very much. >> brian: i look forward to having you at my house. coming up straight ahead, america's unemployment hasn't budged in months. why is that? our next guest says the latest job numbers mean nothing. >> steve: you've seen the chicken soup books meant to warm your soul. now they're bringing pets into the picture for cats and dogs. >> gretchen: sugar's shaking. ♪ hey, dad, think i could drive? i'll tell you what -- when we stop to fill it up. ♪ ♪ [ son ] you realize, it's gotta run out sometime. ♪ pure... and also delicious. like nature valley. granola bars made with crunchy oats and pure honey. nature valley -- 100% natural. 100% delicious. [ male announcer ] in 2011, at is at work, building up our wireless network all across america. we're adding new cell sites... increasing network capacity, and investing billions of dollars to improve your weless network experience. from a single phone call to the most advanced data download, we're covering more people in more places than ever before in an effort to give you the best network possible. at&t. rethink possible. >> gretchen: couple headlines. take a look at this. this is ed harris, the actor, as john mccain in the upcoming hbo film "game change." he will be matched up with actress julianne moore in the role of sarah palin. there she is. looks just like her. right? catch a flying bear. a black bear wandered into an area and climbed up a tree. the bear is fine and back in the woods where they belong. >> steve: i bet we will see that video on a shepherd smith program later today. in april, the u.s. economy added 244,000 jobs. but if you feel like the economy isn't improving, you're not alone. the national unemployment rate is still at 9%, same level as it was back in january. our next guest says the latest job numbers mean nothing and the former chairman of the president's council of economic advisors joins us from california. good morning to you, ed. >> good morning. good to be with you. >> steve: it's great to have you as well. when you look at the jobless numbers and you look at the number of jobs created, they're confusing because as you wrote in the "wall street journal," we added jobs because hires exceeded layoffs, not because hiring has increased. explain that. >> that's right. that's the key. when you think about the net job figure that we get every month, it's a combination of two factors. the first factor is how many people are firms hiring and the second factor is how many people are firms laying off or how many are quitting? so the total number of separations. and what we get as our national figure is the difference. it's the net between hires and separations. now, that sounds technical, but it isn't when you think about it because what a worker who is in the pool of unemployed cares about is how many jobs are there, how many hires are there and not so much how many layoffs are there. so the big problem that the american worker is facing right now is that the number of hires is just about the same as it was in february two years ago, february of 2009, when we were almost at the bottom of the labor market. we were losing about 700,000 jobs per month at that time. we were still hiring the same number then as we are today. so when workers are out there looking for jobs, they're competing with a very large pool of other unemployed individuals and they're competing for the same small number of hires. >> steve: that makes perfect sense. that explains why the job market feels so dismal right now. you've got a three-point plan to help increase the number of american jobs. one is lower taxes on capital investment, avoidance of excessive leave, burdensome regulations and open the markets here and abroad. you have had the president of the united states' ear before. any of this stuff going to happen? >> well, i think it will happen. the question is the timing of it. one of the big problems that we've had is there is constant pressure, particularly in very sluggish economies, to try to bring up some kind of protectionism that will in some ways insulate the american worker from the pressures from abroad. that sounds good. unfortunately, the problem is we can't do that over any prolonged period of time. we might do it for a month or two, maybe even six months, but then what happens is the world economy catches us. the reality is this: unfortunately, the united states is becoming a smaller part of the world economy. right now we're less than 5% of the world population. obviously we know that countries like china and india are growing at much more rapid rates than we're growing right now. so what that means over time is that they are going to become a much larger part of the world, whether we like it or not. the reality is, again, if you look forward and you say, we're the largest economy in the world, in a decade and a half, we will not be the largest economy in the world and there is not much we can do about that. >> steve: we just need more jobs and we need a lot of them right now. we thank you so much for joining us today from california. great job. >> my pleasure. thank you. >> steve: you bet. meanwhile, you know the chicken soup books written to warm your soul. next, how they're bringing pets into the picture. brian, you should take that home. your wife will be delighted. >> brian: okay, let's go. >> steve: first let's check in with alisyn with a preview of what's coming up. >> bring that puppy right up here. thanks so much. donald trump is out of the presidential race. our political panel has a theory about what the tipping point was for him to call it quits. arnold schwarzenegger admitting to fathering a child with a member of his household staff. what are the legal ramifications for him now and the fight over the debt ceiling rages on capitol hill today. we'll talk to some key congressmen. we'll see you in ten minutes. the 3.6-lite pentastar engine in the jgrand cherokee has a best in class driving range of more than 500 miles per tank. which means you don't have to worry about finding gas station. which is good... because the just might not be one. i want you tonight!
