four people have died after two rare tornadoes tear through parts of western massachusetts. this is incredible video of a twister forming right over the connecticut river. storms hit around rush hour slam into some two dozen communities destroying buildings, ripping off roofs and knocking down trees. >> the house is totally flattened and we ran down the basement and we were holding on to the water pipes and everything was shaking and all the glass was being, you know, thrown into the basement and we have all the stuff in our hair but that was the worst of it. >> one of the twisters hit springfield, massachusetts, the state's third largest city and injured dozens. governor duvall patrick declared a state of emergency and has called up 1,000 national guard troops. another weather alert now, evacuations under way this morning in the northern plains. south dakota governor dennis dugard is urging people in threatened areas along the missouri river to leave for their safety but the request is not mandatory. flooding is a concern in pierre, ft. pierre and dakota dunes because of record rainfall and runoff from the river. former massachusetts governor mitt romney makes his second bid for the presidency official today. it's going to happen in new hampshire. he's very strong in polls of republican voters there but "the washington post" says a number of important party figures are holding off on endorsement until they see how romney's campaign develops and, you know, who else might get into the race. another republican might be reconsidering now a white house run. changing his mind. governor mike huckabee saying he hasn't closed the door on a 2012 run. i thought he did two weeks ago. speak at the clinton school of public service huckabee said when he announced he wouldn't run, he hadn't entirely ruled out the idea. he's not against running as vice president or in a 2016 campaign. >> last night, president george w. bush made his first public comments about the death of usama bin laden in a speech to the lancaster, pennsylvania, chamber of commerce, he said "i was not joyous. i was pleased. america should never be seeking revenge. we should be seeking justice and justice was rightly done." bush accredited president obama's faith in the intelligence that led to the raids saying "the president made a tough decision. he could have said, i don't believe the intelligence." and those are your headlines. >> the big story yesterday was anthony weiner. he continues to keep this story alive in the most bizarre way possible. on friday, it broke. on saturday, he commented on it. on tuesday, he was irate about it and yesterday, he invited all the networks in to talk about it. i'm talking about the crotch shot that may or may not be his crotch. >> that's exactly right. because while he -- the whole idea was on tuesday, he apparently called cnn reporter a ja jackass. we heard it, he did. >> he submitted himself to seven different cable news interviews during which time he really didn't answer the questions everybody wanted to know, could that possibly actually be him? >> is this twitter picture in question a picture of you? >> well, let's remember this twitter picture in question is a hack or a prank that someone posted on my twitter page with someone else's name in it who says she never got it and doesn't know me and i don't know her. >> you definitively didn't send it but you can't definitively say it's you or not. >> i can definitively say i did not send this. i can definitively say it looks like a lot like a prank and joke about my name. i can say i have hired someone who is going to come in, deconstruct this as best they can to make sure it doesn't happen again. my twitter feed says this from one guy who just put this in, i put out i was having this interview with you and here's what he said. "seriously, how does atrepweiner not know what his own drawers look like." that was the question. >> fair enough. >> i tried to answer this for you several times. i appreciate it, though. thank you. >> yes or a no. >> here's what i get from the interview. he's actually admitting the picture could be his own. but that he didn't necessarily send it out. he also says pictures can be manipulated. he also has admitted. this is the biggest thing to me, he's admitted to taking sexual photos. >> how did he say it? >> he said that he had -- that he has taken sexual photos but maybe this particular one is not him or one of the ones he's talking about. i don't know about you guys but i can unequivocably say i have not taken sexual photos. i just know that. that to me is a little weird. he does say that he didn't send it. it also would be a federal crime if his hacking allegations is actually true so now he's kind of coming off that and calling it a prank because it could be a crime alone if he actually says it's hacking and it's not. >> you know, a democratic strategist says he's surprised that anthony weiner has not been forthcoming. mayor koch says that weiner has to save his career one way to come clean and be honest with everybody. a democratic consultant, yes, it's damaging. this was once a small story. it's getting bigger and bigger and bigger. and it's more likely to reach the average joe and they will never forget. >> here's the thing, why doesn't he call the capital police? he's a member of congress. why doesn't he call the f.b.i.? he says, congressman weiner does, no need for a big federal investigation. >> sometimes it is what it looks like. someone sends congressman weiner's account, you know, hacks in and takes a picture of something that may make fun of the person's name. sends it, direct it to someone. it never goes anywhere. it was mischief. now, if it turns out it's more than that, if it turns out that it's some kind of a larger conspiracy, if it turns out that authorities should be brought in, do we -- do you -- do my constituents really think that we need a national investigation with national resources brought to bear just because congressman weiner had his account hacked? >> guaranteed if it was a republican, congressman weiner would probably be behind a federal investigation and by the way, it may be a little disingenius to say we're wasting tax dollars on this when in congress he's one of the biggest advocates of using tax dollars to pay for things. >> the mom of the 21-year-old in the milled ddle of this is outr. she says this is a person of power and she says my daughter is 21 and in the middle of finals and this is a massive distraction. >> the former attorney general says that if he, weiner, filed a complaint to say he had been hacked when he in fact had not been, that would be making a false statement to either local police authorities or federal authorities and that would be a crime. >> you know, the whole thing was he tried to put this behind h himself but he made it so much worse and now we wonder, has he taken pictures of himself? how many more are out there? if the feds, for instance, if he were to call the police or the feds and say, ok, look into it. and they looked into his account -- >> goes right back to him and he sent it. >> it's so easy to figure out. everybody's computer has a unique protocol number. you can figure out who sent something. if it came back to him and they discovered wait a minute, he sent a whole bunch of other stuff, that could be really bad for him. he's hired a lawyer and his own team to look into it. >> and he wants to be mayor of new york at some point and it's always about the cover-up, folks. this is how people ultimately end up getting into more trouble. >> he could have used a cover-up in the beginning, if you know what i mean. >> right. >> let's move on to the other big topic that affects many more americans which is the debt ceiling and what we're going to do about this trillion, $14.5 trillion debt that we face in this country. yesterday, president obama met with a group of republicans and this is paul ryan's reaction to the meeting. paul ryan is the one that put out his own plan for the budget. it was controversial but according to him, truthful. >> if we want to grow jobs and the economy, we got to get our spending under control. we got to get our debt under control and if we try to demagogue each other's attempts to do that, then we're not applying the kind of political leadership we need to get this economy going and debt under control. that's what he's saying. >> looks like a tall person was questioning him. i'm not sure. they had a clash. evidently he engaged the president to say why are you mischaracterizing my plan? and he said paul, i did my homework, i know your plan. and he said, it is not a voucher plan and they got into it a little bit in a very respectful way according to administration official and he was asked about that in front of the press. >> absolutely. and so that was in the after -- the post-game show and apparently, during the 75 minute meeting, the fact that mr. ryan did challenge the president in such a direct way at the conclusion of the question, the republicans, every one of them in the room stood up and gave him a standing ovation. now, we should point out the president is going to be meeting with house democrats today. i do believe tim geitner is going to go up to capitol hill to talk to freshmen republican because they are against raising the debt limit. in the meantime, a congressman from louisiana by the name of jeff landry, here is why he turned down the invitation to the white house meeting. >> we're having these meetings and discussing issues but then nothing is getting done and at the same time, all that's running -- that's saying that's running out of that hourglass and, of course, as i've learned in washington, nothing happens at the 11th hour. that's what i'm not interested in partaking that kind of political gamemanship. i'm interested in reducing a debt and creating jobs. >> yeah another interesting point that came out of that is the president was asked why he has not presented a different kind of plan, because he believes it won't get anywhere in the house. the house is dominated by republicans. >> it would help with a starting point, though. >> boehner says only marginal progress has been made and it sounds like the white house is putting all their eggs in the joe biden basket. >> next on our rundown, mitt romney and president obama separated at birth? what the two have in common and how it could help romney in 2012? >> and nbc tells the former head of npr, we love you just the way you are. the peacock network offering vivian chiller a new job. the "mystery spot". not a mammal in this household is willing to lay claim to its origin. but now is not the time for blame. now is the time for action. ♪call 1-800-steem. so i've got to take care of my heart. for me cheerios is a good place to start.

we're back with dick morris. not good numbers. is the president immune from it? >> immune from it? no, no. >> he's approval is at 47% still. >> but when you ask people how is he on handling the economy, he's at 32%. and eventually that approval is basically just personal favorability and is going to drop further. i think that he's in terrible condition because of this economy. i think that clearly, the double dip recession is upon us. when you created an average of 200,000 jobs a month in january, february and march and then in april, it slumped to 180,000 and now it's down to 40,000, i think that that really indicates that we're headed towards negative territory. and then on top of it, this time, we have inflation. which we didn't have last time. led by gasoline prices. when i look at the economic situation, and people say can obama win another term or can he be defeated? i say obviously, he isn't going to win another term. how can he possibly win another term with this economic situation? >> that's interesting, dick, because so many people still say that incumbents always have the upper edge and in fact, if you look at mike huckabee and one of the decisions why he decided not to run on the republican side, he actually said because he doesn't believe that people could beat president obama right now. >> well, that's why he was my client and i was his consultant because he got it wrong. i think that -- i think that obama definitely can be defeated and will be defeated. i think that the -- it is impossible for him to avoid blame for this economy. at some point, does this guy look in the mirror and understand that everything he's done about the economy is wrong? that he's causing the second housing crisis by cutting out the mortgage interest deduction, that he's causing the double dip recession by threatening tax increases on consumers? doesn't he understand that he's causing the deficit with this gigantic government spending? at some point, he has to look in the mirror and say everything i've been doing is wrong. >> and then dick, when people who go into the voting booth, they look at what's happening to them, if they had the election today, you you look at the information. house prices have dropped 5% year over year. manufacturing has fallen off the cliff and according to adp, they only add 38,000 private sector jobs in the last month. they were expecting four times that. if you ask the question, are you better off now than you were four years ago, how would people answer? >> obviously, they're not better off. but, you know, you haven't seen nothing yet. there's going to be more inflation and a steeper drop in the economy. economists explain you can't sustain a growth rate of 2% or so. once you hit that level, it has to go to negative territory because businesses can stay in business while still laying off workers because there's -- because there's not enough demand. and that, i believe, that you're going to be running for re-election at a time when we're obviously in the middle of a recession and this time it will be called the obama recession. >> all right, very interesting. dick morris, always great to get your thoughts once a week on "fox & friends." thanks so much. >> thank you. >> coming up next, bad economic news. we heard a little bit from dick. they have sent the stocks to a dive yesterday. what does it mean for you?

>> ok, we stumbled right down at that really nasty recession, look at the graphic. down we came. we recovered a little bit. we got growth of 2% to 3% at the end of last year and now we're on another down trend, ok? because the jobs policy has failed. we're not creating new jobs. and the housing policy has failed. housing is still crashing. those are the two big concerns to almost everybody in this kunlt. jobs and housing. and i regret to be harsh but the president's policies in both areas have flat out failed and we want to know what's the policy going forward? more of the same, another stimulus plan? that's not likely. more bailout in the housing area? well, yeah, we're probably going to do it and beat up on the bankers as well. will that work? the future does not look positive. that's why i say we may be spiralling down into another recession. >> how would you fix it? >> how would i fix it? cut corporate taxes so you bring that foreign money back into america. there's a trillion dollars off shore and cut the regulation and change energy policy. three things that might help get us going and quit the beating up on business. we need private enterprise in this country. not government. quit beating it up. >> we'll have eric cantor on the program in a while and he'll talk about the republicans' plan to put the corporate tax and income tax at 25%. >> it's on the table. >> see you at varney & company, is that ok?

[ female annouer ] thinking mexican tonight? hamburger helper has five festive flavors like crunchy taco. hamburger helper. one pound. one pan. one happy family. situation on oil and gas exploration in texas. >> we showed a little picture of that little lizard. now, we -- we did this story yesterday talking about how thousands of texas oil jobs could actually become extinct if that thing is put on that list. how would that happen? >> well, if you cannot go through the normal process of good sales for leases and we made almost a third of a billion dollars last spring just for the right to drill. and all that money in texas goes to public education. so this is a big deal. when you start taking an area of texas, the permean basin that is probably the most prolific field in the lower 48 states. you take that and put this over exploration and production, then you bring it to a screeching halt. you could actually impact the price of the gas in the united states by, you know, by the speculators, whatever you want to call them that will react to the news of another area that's off-limits to exploration and production. >> so not only would thousands of people lose their jobs, but the price of gas would go up as well and, you know, it's important to keep those things alive but how many are there? >> well, i don't think anybody knows. i mean, they did a very cursory inspection. their data is collected four years ago. they had a policy that if they went out in a particular area and didn't find a lizard within one hour, they said that, you know, it's endangered and you can't just look at the lizard on the ground. you got to catch him. you got to turn him over on his belly and you got to count the number of scales down around his abdomen. it's not something you can identify from afar. so i'm not sure the lizard is extinct or is endangered as they say it is. the science is insufficient. and this is a very severe economic impact not just for texas but for the entire united states. we think that we -- it's not an either/or deal. we'd like to have an opportunity to make mitigation where we can. but we don't have that chance. >> when you say mitigation, you'd like to figure out a way so you can do both, do the oil production and have that critter roaming around. here's what the u.s. fish and wildlife service says. i don't know if this lizard is going to be listed or not. but if it is, there are permitting avenues there that will allow private industry to continue to function while we can still recover the species. now, jerry, when will the government determine whether or not that thing is endangered and could or could not put it on the list? >> well, it's slated to be decided in december but our point is that other locations have been able to work out what are called conservation agreements. >> new mexico did. >> whether it's be -- exactly, texas has not had that opportunity. we had the opportunity to work out these conservation agreements, there would be money available from the oil and gas industry to help enhance and preserve the habitat and we could have both. exploration and production for oil and gas and we could preserve the habitat for the lizard. we're not being given that choice and that truly is reptile dysfunction. >> that's too bad. that seems like the fair thing to do. all right, jerry paterson who joins us -- he's the land commissioner for texas, sir, thank you very much for joining us today from austin. >> thank you, steve. >> all right. meanwhile, coming up, eric cantor met with the president yesterday hoping to come to a compromise to fix our nation's debt. was anything accomplished? the house majority leader joins us in the next hour. 7:20 eastern. and then you saw this soldier's surprise proposal. the moment he came back from iraq. wait until you hear how he convinced the other passengers on the plane to help him. that couple live next.

>> on the airplane, right when i got on, we were boarding and i talked to the flight attendants and said hey, guys, i need some help and i'm trying to propose to my girlfriend and i need some help from the rest of the passengers from the plane. they're like yeah, yeah, that would be great. they made an announcement over the intercom right before we landed asking everyone to help me out and if everyone could take a rose from the gate and go in and give it to her down at the baggage claim. >> you followed afterwards. lauren, we're watching the video of you receiving these roses from these passengers and you have no idea who these people a are. >> i didn't know what to think at first. the fifth rose i received, a man said congratulations, i hope you enjoy your new life together so i realized it was coming. >> he kind of blew it in a little bit of a way but so what? ultimately, when george gets down on his knees, what did you think? >> oh, i just thought it was the most wonderful experience and had surpassed everything i had ever dreamed of. >> what is going to be the best part about it is that you're going to be together but first, george, you have to go back to serve, right? >> yeah, i'm on basically what's called mid tour leave right now or r&r so i've got another couple of months for service in iraq and i'll be able to come back and spend more time together. >> what are the wedding plans so far? lauren? >> we're going to get married in june of 2012. >> wow, you guys plan quickly because according to my watch, it's only thursday. this happened on monday, right? >> yes. he only has a short period of time that he's here before he has to go back to iraq. >> all right. what a wonderful story. you know, so many times people say that the news is all bad news and when we saw these pictures come out, we thought, you know, this is so heart warming and george, you did such magnificent planning, we're so glad that it all worked out for the two of you. congratulations. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. >> all right. coming up on our show, back to the bad news. this story is sickening. police saw a man take his own life and did nothing to stop him?

"seriously, how does atrepweiner not know what his own drawers look like? that was the question. >> very nice. >> i mean, so -- >> i tried to answer this for you several times. i appreciate that. thank you. >> let me just ask because i'm not a guy. do you guys know what your drawers look like? >> of course. >> ok. >> i know what i look like in my drawers. >> you do? >> that's more important. i could identify me. >> i have not -- >> really? even with the drawers on. >> yes. >> in fact, i have not met any guy who could not identify themselves in their underwear. >> this is -- >> isn't that right, guys? >> you know -- >> is this a common topic of conversation among guys? >> let's take pictures of all of ourselves in just our underwear and try to identify ourselves. >> don't take a picture. you could look in a mirror but the thing is for him to say i can't tell with certitude if that's my picture. here's the thing, does he have other pictures? "the new york post" yesterday have said have you ever taken sexually charged snapshots before, and he said there are photographs of me in the world. >> that was -- >> of your drawers? i mean, come on! unless you're paris hilton or pamela anderson. >> that's more of a video. >> but i'm just saying, how many people are doing this? especially if you're a member of congress. i haven't. i just know that. i don't know about you guys but i haven't. >> i'm not taking any pictures of myself in my underwear and i don't know that anybody has taken any of me. >> see, i think -- >> brian, can you say the same thing? >> yes. >> thank you. >> uh-oh. >> with certitude, i can, all i got to say is the reason this has become such a big story is because congressman weiner is a very good debater and he feels like he could talk his way out of anything. to me, he's like by tomorrow, i'm going to knock this thing out of the park and that will be it. here we are yesterday on wednesday where he has to invite seven networks in to try to explain himself but the problem is he can't. for example, this attack dog of a politician has not called law enforcement to help him out. he's asked a lawyer and cyber expert to help him out. this is the reason he gives. >> sometimes it is what it looks like. someone sends congressman weiner's account, you know, hacks in and takes a picture that might make fun of the person's name. directs it to someone. it never goes anywhere. it was mischief. now, if it turns out that it's more than that. if it turns out this is somewhat of a larger conspiracy and turns out authorities should be brought in, do we, do you, do my constituents really think that we need a national investigation with national resources brought to bear just because congressman weiner had his account hacked? >> here's the interesting thing. congressman weiner has never been one to not use tax dollars. let's face it. he's one of the most liberal members of congress so for him, it's a little disingenuous now to say he doesn't want to waste taxpayer dollars to do an investigation. >> i read this on politico. he said watching anthony weiner's press blitz is like watching charlie sheen's meltdown. if weiner wants to get beyond this, he'll shut up and let the democrats get back to their medicare message. >> why hasn't he called the cops and hired his own attorney and private investigator instead? former u.s. attorney says this -- if he, weiner, in fact, filed a complaint claiming he had been hacked when, in fact, he had not been that would be making a false statement to either local police authorities or federal officials and that would be a crime. right, martha stewart? in "the new york daily news", one of the columnists writes, how can a guy be so sure about big complicated issues such as the national debt if he can't be certain whether or not that is a photo of his crotch. >> it's also the cover-up. let's talk about something else for now which is that mitt romney is going to officially announce his presidential campaign today. i mean, we all knew he was going to be running on the g.o.p. side. but he's officially going to announce, i believe it's in new hampshire today. >> right, straight from new hampshire on a farm. >> all right. and at the same time, this whole situation just gets more mysterious and more dicey. now, mike huckabee who a couple of weeks ago was very definitive and made an announcement on his own show here on the fox newschannel saying he would not be seeking the g.o.p. nomination for president in 2012. now in an interview yesterday, he says that he might consider getting back in the race possibly for a vice presidential spot. and you have to wonder how that's different than running for president. he would still not be allowed to do his television show, etc. i don't understand where this is going or if that was a misstatement or if he's actually serious. >> here's what he said, he was at the clinton school of public service down in little rock and one of the local papers there quoted him. he said everything is still open. i haven't closed any doors because i found long ago that that's not a smart thing to do. so apparently, some of the people at the local paper put that in the headlines, he might be considering the v.p. slot. >> well, is he? we're going to try to get him on the phone this morning. >> all right, 11 minutes after the hour. tv executives accused of using their power to push the liberal agenda? is anybody surprised? we'll ask juan williams and andrea tantaros. they'll answer separately. >> can you tell the difference between these two pictures? simon cowell's fans speculate. britain's guy got botox. who cares if he did anyway. >> i care. >> why?

this free culture of stealing movies and music that everything should be open and we shouldn't pay for it is purported by the left. by google and by -- so they're basically eating their own right now. eventually they might end stealing their own stuff and putting it out there. >> that's a good point. what do you think? >> i think that was a funny point. i don't know that anybody in hollywood, liberal or conservative wants their intellectual property stolen. >> it's a free culture. that's what the liberals say. >> i think it's obvious most of those guys in hollywood are liberal. i don't think it's any big surprise. it's interesting to me, i think most people in their minds at least i do when i'm watching tv at night, i have a filter in any way. if i'm watching something like "24" i don't think i'm watching a pro torture conservetive show. i just think this is good tv. >> one show. >> you go back to the 50's and something like, you know, "father knows best" you know, you can understand why eventually you had shows that brought in things like women and especially seniors, golden girls or african-americans like the cosby shows, you know, i think those things were good for america. opened up the american minds. >> and that was then. this is now. here's the co-creator of the tv show "friends" talking about the liberals working on her show. >> friends from the culture is that it always tends to take a liberal attack with the regard to issues like gay marriage. >> how could it not? i mean, you have a bunch of liberals run the show. we all come from a certain place. we're going to put out there what we believe because these characters mirror who we are. >> there you go. and that talks about the agenda you see on the tv. juan, i want to start out with you with one other item. the former npr c.e.o. that i believe fired you is landing a gig at nbc news. shocking. your reaction, sir? >> you know, life moves on. i don't want to be vindictive, you know, i'm surprised, though, that a media company given what she approved of in terms of, you know, taking on a reporter for simply saying what was on his mind, a journalist, an opinion journalist who is what i am, i just find that crazy. why would a media company embrace that kind of ethic, you know, but on the other hand, it's time to move on. i hope, you know, that they have a good experience with her. but i'm glad that she's not in a position where she's in charge of creative and opinion minded people because i had a terrible experience. >> she's in charge of digital which is a pretty big property these days. and i would say, look, with nbc's cozy relationship with this white house between all the money they got in the american recovery act, they might as well be a public channel. >> all right. great debate and great discussion as well. juan and andrea, thank you very much. we'll see you back here soon. >> have a good day. >> you as well. eric cantor met with the president yesterday hoping to come to a compromise to fix our debt limit. is anything accomplished?

joining us is house majority leader eric cantor. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning. how are you doing? >> doing great. we're going to talk a little bit about the economy right now and it's sputtering. first, i know you met with the president and a whole bunch of other republicans yesterday. if you would, can you describe to me what paul ryan said to the president. i understand after he pinned the president down on something, all the other republicans gave him a standing ovation. >> paul stood up and basically told the president stop demagoguing an issue that's of the upmost importance to our country which is trying to get the debt managed down and begin to live within our means and paul stood up and said here's what our plan does in terms of medicare reform. and, you know, he made the point that the president hasn't led, the president hasn't put a plan out there and at the same time, all that he and his side have done is attacked our plan and that's demagoguery, it's the typical mediscare tactics and that was really the message that paul delivered. >> it was my understanding that the president also said the reason he's not offered up a plan, is he didn't think it would go anywhere in the house. >> he did say nothing he would propose could pass in the house but again, that was really, i think, indicative of where the president has missed the boat in terms of trying to leave. you know, we are trying to come to the table. we have a concrete plan in place to save trillions of dollars over a 10-year budget window and really believe that we can find ways to cut and you know, there are potential trillions of dollars of agreement that we could have. i'm serving with the vice president in the talks that are taking place twice a week here in washington and i really can tell you there is a potential for transit dollars in savings. if the president and his side would come together and actually say, ok, the american people expect us to produce here. let's do it. >> in the meantime, you are multitasking in addition to trying to figure out that to come up with your own economic agenda for the country and the republicans have. for instance, some of the points are empower small business owners and reduce regulatory burdens, fix the tax code to help job creators and things like that. one of the things regarding the tax code is you're proposing a 25% cap on individual and corporate taxes, right? >> absolutely. we all know that jobs are not plentiful right now. too many people are out of work and we have to grow this economy. that's also a fix for the deficit situation. and we've got to focus again on putting the growth strategy in place so we can see small businesses grow. that's where the jobs come from. and in fact, it's the startup businesses so our job creators plan focuses on bringing tax rates down for people, putting incentives in place for them to put their money to work to create jobs. and something this administration has been somewhat resistant to go along with but in the end, that's what people want us to do, they want a better economy. >> so congressman, while you are attending these very high level meetings, meeting with the president, meeting with joe biden twice a week, what's topping the news for the last couple of days are the alleged photos of the crotch of congressman weiner and i have to ask you, as another member of congress, what is going on with this story? >> you know, it's just -- i think the american people are sick of seeing their elected officials tied up in the scandals like this. i really think it's sad and obviously there's not a lot of clarity surrounding the reports that you're referring to. >> yeah, sure. he tried to control the damage yesterday. what were your -- he hasn't called in the cops. what would your advice be to congressman weiner? >> advice would be to come clean and clear it up. i mean, again, perhaps he's trying but i know there's a lot of explaining going on without a lot of clarity. and again, the american people are right in saying that they don't have tolerance for this repeated kind of activity going on surrounding their elected leaders. think about his wife, i mean, i'm really saddened for his wife and i think they've only been married a short time. >> yeah, i think since july. and it's always about the cover-up, it seems. congressman eric cantor, i know you got a busy schedule trying to figure out this whole debt situation. thanks for being our guest today. >> thanks for having me on. >> straight ahead on the program, the story is sickening. police saw a man take his own life, drown himself and did nothing to stop him. they say budget cuts are to blame. that story is straight ahead. >> bad economic news sent the dow into a nose dive. so what happens when the markets open today?

certainly, there's that opportunity. opportunity for us to gone out and do more. we're looking at that. >> after that happened on monday, then on tuesday, at the city commission meeting, the residents were absolutely applapetic about it, and now they have the money to train people to get in the water. residents like this one horrified. >> what were they thinking? when they did nothing? >> this just strikes me as not just a problem with funding, but a problem with the culture of what's going on in our city. that no one would take the time to help this drowning man. >> that's my question, actually. i mean, you know, we've talked about the studies before where people don't do anything, where there's a group of people watching a horrible thing and nobody does anything and it's some psychological thing. even if you weren't certified, is it more about a lawsuit, more about a city employee that goes into the water and doesn't have certification then? it seems a little more complicated than no budget. >> yeah, i think they didn't want to be pulled under and they didn't have the equipment for that. the coast guard was called but apparently the water was too shallow for them, for their boat and they were going to bring a chopper in. it was on another call. they had to refuel, just a whole bunch of problems in a row led to this guy dying out there in san francisco bay. >> all right. now to the rest of the headlines. >> brand new video out of orlando, florida, dozens of people literally running to get a seat at the casey anthony trial. watch this. the 25-year-old is accused of murdering her daughter in 2008. we heard bombshell testimony from casey's own brother yesterday. >> when you asked your sister why won't you allow us to see caylee, what do you recall her saying?

i guess the guy you drew with head to head for the championship, you look over and you see this 28-year-old exhausted and what did you do? >> i gave him 10 pushups. >> in the middle of the fight. >> in the middle of the fight, when we have a minute to rest and i took about at least 10 seconds to do 10 pushups because i seen him in the cover and he was looking over his trainer's shoulder and i wanted to let him know that i'm not tired. i can even do 10 pushups in between rounds. >> like george foreman who did it at 45, you're an inspiration to everybody in their 40's who say i'm done. let the deterioration from. look at where you came from. at 13, you're in trouble. you're in crime. at 17, you're in prison and then you spent 58 months in prison. >> yes. >> at which time you teach yourself to box. >> i put in a year and a half of finding my way and finding that i had more to give, more than -- more to be productive in society than being in prison the rest of my life and i wanted to -- i wanted to be an odds breaker, to do the best i can, to be successful. and stay out of jail. and that was the most important thing at first and then that became reality and then i became bernard hopkins, the boxer, the fighter, the executioner, the champion. >> who went over a decade without losing a fight, retired and then came all the way back and you're going to fight until you're 50. you promised your mom you're not going to fight past 50. >> you're not going to fight until you're 50? >> no, i'm trying to scare my opponents for the future. >> this is the wbc belt. that must be pretty cool. >> real cool. >> here's this belt. >> other belt i got. more! more! i have more! >> you talk about history. look at that. >> now, take this a second because bernard, if you were a champion and we're the same age and the same weight, you know what i'm thinking? if you can accomplish that, maybe i can accomplish that. >> no, wait a minute. >> i want to see if there's a way -- >> wait a minute. because i believe in the american dream. >> come on, come on. >> and i'm your age, i haven't done time in prison. they haven't caught me yet. you tell me, be honest, show me what i got. >> no hard punches. >> cross the punches over. cross it. cross it. >> right. >> look, one, two, take the power off. take the power off. >> ok, stop. >> now i'm done, i'm coming. >> you're like that. and boxing matches. >> come on. >> brian, let bernard punch. >> come on, come on. >> all right. >> let's go. >> now we'll show you how to do it the correct way. >> wait a second, you can't stop me. you're thinking to yourself thank god kilmeade didn't go pro. >> now watch how we do it with finesse and speed. >> ok. >> that's kind of near my face. >> ok. >> so you took the power off. ok right here, coming over top. ok. let's go, come on. whoa. >> you don't have that -- >> ok. >> you can't hit a man with an ear piece. >> listen, you're a true champion. >> i can but i won't. >> of a lot of things to do. >> remain a champion. >> i remain a champion in and out of the ring. live well, live healthy. take care of your body. >> all right. let's go to the party now. breathing kind of hard. a little bit hard. >> i'm surprised that brian hasn't taken somebody down on the floor. >> i didn't think that was going to happen. we were standing by to be brian's cut man. today, the government scraps the food pyramid for a $2 million pie chart, ironically. will that make us any healthier? the medical a team is on the case. >> i think it will for a change and bad economic news sent the dow into a nose dive. what happens when the markets open today? what does it mean for your money? ultimately? that's next. there's another way litter box dust:e purina tidy cats. tidy cats premium line of litters now works harder on dust. and our improved formulas neutralize odors better than ever in multiple-cat homes. so it's easier to keep your house smelling just the way you want it. purina tidy cats. keep your home smelling like home. two of the most important are energy security and economic growth. north america actually has one of the largest oil reserves in the world. a large part of that is oil sands. this resource has the ability to create hundreds of thousands ojobs. at our kearl project in canada, we'll be able to produce these oil sands with the same emissions as many other oils and that's a huge breakthrough. that's good for oucountry's energy security and our economy. that's good for oucountry's energy security >> good morning. >> the economy is stinking up the place right now. houses have lost 5%, year over year and then when you look at the adp number yesterday, the payrolls, the private sector only added 38,000 jobs. they were expecting 4 or 5 times that number. >> right, and the adp survey has been pretty reliable. it only measures the private sector and the big number is what happens on friday. that's when people get the monthly jobless report. that's how many jobs the economy has added. we've seen that the economists are bringing those expectations way in and this has been the case all year. heading into the year, people thought we would have a 4%, maybe over 4% in some cases growth rate. they were saying look, we've got the fed helping us out and we've got fiscal spending and the third year of a presidential term which believe it or not, is one of the best indicators for growth in the stock market and yet, it's been the string of excuses. it's like we've continued to have these downward visions and so it really has been a surprise that people have made them sort of reconsider how much umpff the economy or the recovery really has. >> was that drop a long-term expected drop or was it because of that vote on the debt ceiling? because one of the reasons they did that vote at 6:30 p.m. was so it wouldn't have an effect on the stock market for that day. >> right and it wasn't that -- what really happened was it was the data starting yesterday morning and in fact, kind of building within the last couple of weeks where we got the disappointing jobs figure. we got that other survey showing manufacturing which is kind of in the stalwart of this recovery, you know, we know housing is a problem. we know consumers aren't really spending. what we don't want is manufacturing to slow down as well. some japanese related weakness, sure, it was the data that turned things around. if you talk about the debt ceiling concerns and all that, that's affecting, for example, the treasury market in the very, very, very short term but long-term interest rates, you know, the benchmark 10 year treasury yield is below 3%. that's not what people warned this would happen. >> the treasury has been pumping money into the economy. i saw the report yesterday it did nothing to help the economy and yet, they're talking about doing another one. >> well, what you're seeing already is people in the stock market saying, ok, we had a down day yesterday. yes, things might rebound a bit today. if this is any indication, you know, the first day of the month being down isn't a great sign. there's worries now about the summer, we saw a lot of this happen last year, there's a sense of deja vu, we went through in 2010 and what happened? the federal reserve came in and said we don't want home prices and stock prices and the economy underperforming. that won't help this recovery. they came in and started this. >> print more money! >> right now, people say if the same thing plays out, who says they won't ultimately have to do a third round of this program. the fed is saying no way. any sign that it might really fundamentally address what's happening in the economy is unlikely but i think the concern is that the last thing we need is for the stock market to fall off as well. >> kelly evans, "the wall street journal" economics reporter, she knows her stuff. a lot of information. thank you so much. >> you bet. >> it cost yous the taxpayer $2 million so will the food pyramid's new replacement make you any healthier. did it need to change? medical a team weighs in next. >> carbs. first on this date in 1953, elizabeth ii is crowned queen of england. in 1979, john paul ii returns triumphantly to poland as pope. and in 2001, christina has the number one song. funny thing about vegetables... they fill you up without filling you out. yes! v8 juice gives you three of your five daily servings of vegetables. that's what i'm talking about! v8. what's your number? sweet & salty nut bars... they're made from whole roasted nuts and dipped in creamy peanut butter, making your craving for a sweet & salty bar irresistible, by nature valley. we could've gone a more traditional route... ... but it wouldn't have been nearly as memorable. ♪ >> well, say so long to the food pyramid. you remember how you always saw that in the doctor's office and in school and hello to the new dinner plate. today the first lady and the usda are introducing new government guidelines for food, a $2 million make-over. will it actually make anyone any healthier? dr. kumar from our medical a team is here. good morning. >> good morning. >> now it's going to be a plate. i think this is easier to visualize for people. what do you think will be on the plate? >> yeah, i think this is a great concept because it helps people thinking about what they're putting on their plate and so far what we know about it is they only emphasize that half of the plates should be fruits and vegetables and another smaller portion should be breads or grains or multigrains and again, they're focusing on wheats and multigrains vs. white flour and then also a protein as well. and then dairy will just really be one serving a day of dairy and they're really emphasizing a low fat dairy product vs. full fat. >> so one of the reasons that you say white flour would be out of the mix is there's been so much talk in recent years. you're the medical expert. the brown rice vs. the white rice is a better option, right? >> it is a much better option because it lowers your -- it doesn't have as much of a high glycemic index. it doesn't create such a high insulin response in your body and that's what causes you to accumulate fat. so the food pyramid allowed for both. it allowed for white flour and allowed for wheats as well and allowed for -- allowed for a larger portion of wheats and breads. >> the interesting thing about the plate and this is why i think it's a good idea is because america has become so supersized. you know, you think you're getting this great value when you go to fast food and you get this gigantic tote for the same that you get something like this, do you think the plate will show just a fistful of chicken as opposed to this whole plate of meat? >> apparently, they do want to emphasize the fact that we should be giving ourselves smaller portions and, you know, this is a huge lifestyle change for america, as you said, because we're so used to supersizing everything and, you know, the food pyramid or the change in the food pyramid is not necessarily the answer to obesity but a great educational tool for us as we try to parent our children. and also for the children to learn in school that this is really a lifestyle change for us and that's the only way that we're going to answer the -- or be able to russo beesity is by changing our lifestyle and our culture. >> it costs $2 million to do this overhaul. i know that sounds like a lot of money. do you have a problem with $2 million a million when we're talking about a $14.5 trillion debt. >> it seems an inexorbitant amount of money to spend on a new logo to give us information that we've known for years and years. the government spends money. >> we were talking about in the commercial break. it's hard to have your kids eat healthy but maybe this will help people see it conceptualize it on a plate. great to see you. i hope you're feeling well. >> i'm feeling great, thank you. >> good to see you. >> the video is incredible. deadly tornadoes forming right before our eyes in massachusetts where a state of emergency has been declared. massachusetts governor duvall patrick live with us at the top of the hour. and the congressman swears he didn't click the send button. but did he snap the actual picture?

>> i can definitively say that i did not send this. i can definitively say it a lot like a frank on a joke about my name. >> steve: now wiener getting grilled by both sides of the aisle. >> brian: is the picture him, is the magic question. it was like a scene straight out of the wild west. i'm talking about a robber messing with the wrong guy. army soldier home on leave. it ended good fort soldier, not for the robberment "fox & friends" starts right now. >> gretchen: good morning, everyone. hope you're having a great thursday. right now people are picking up the pieces in massachusetts where a couple tornadoes touched down and it's really unusual for that part of the country. i think the last time was 1995. >> brian: and amazing video of a tornado right here. you're about to see it forming over the connecticut river in springfield. it's incredible! it's one of the several that slammed massachusetts, leaving four people dead. >> gretchen: here is a live look, springfield, massachusetts this morning. pretty big city in massachusetts. police searching through crushed homes looking for survivors. in a few moments, the governor of massachusetts, deval patrick, will join us with the very latest. a couple other headline, new video out of orlando, florida, dozens of people running to get a seat at the casey anthony trial. the 25-year-old accused of murdering her daughter in 2008. i can't believe people are this excited to try and get into this trial. eighth day of testimony kicks off in about an hour. evacuations underway in the northern plains, south dakota governor urging people in threatened areas to leave for safety. the request not mandatory yet. flooding is a concern in pierre and dakota dunes because of record rainfall and runoffs. gop stars on the move today. former massachusetts governor mitt romney makes his second bid for the presidency. he'll make it official today in new hampshire. some say he's being overshadowed by sarah palin's bus tour which is now going nationwide. so the next stop, remember, she's not really given the itinerary to anyone. but boston appears to be the next stop. the former alaska governor and fox news contributor is expected to stop in new hampshire. another republican might be reconsidering as well a white house run, changing his mind? could it be? former arkansas governor and fox news host mike huckabee saying he hasn't closed the door on the 2012 campaign, although a few weeks ago he said he was closing the door. a bank robber messes with the wrong guy. arm staff sergeant eddie peoples. he was in a bank in sarasota, florida with his two young son when is a man walked in with a gun, but the suspect made the wrong move when he threatened people's kids and then tried to escape. >> took the weapon away from him. got him in a clench around the back of the neck, brought him down. some of the attacks i've gone through. it was good. one guy, i think it was kind of unfair, should have brought a partner. >> gretchen: the iraq vet stationed in italy now, he was honored by the police for his heroism. they told him, guess what? he has a job waiting for him when he comes home and those are your headlines. that's great news. he did a great job. >> brian: i just couldn't believe that we were seeing down south the devastating tornadoes that happened and the video that came through and now we find out it's happening in massachusetts, a place that they say has tornadoes. hasn't had one since 2008. but since 1950, they've averaged two tornadoes per year. but this one, deadly for at least four, 33 injured. the governor said you know what? that's preliminary. it could be worse. >> steve: these are the images from the chopper out of west springfield, massachusetts, from our affiliate. let's bring in the governor of the great state of massachusetts, governor patrick. good morning to you, sir. >> good morning. >> steve: we were just talking about how tornadoes are uncommon in your state this time of year. i understand you have sent, declared, 19 communities disaster areas? >> that's right. could be as many as 20. we've declared a state of emergency across the whole of the commonwealth, which gives us maximum flexibility. we called up the national guard. there are up to 1,000 guard members who have been deployed and as of dawn this morning in three different cities along the path of the tornado. and they, together with the state police, will be deployed in smaller teams to respond to particular needs in local communities in the course of the day. >> gretchen: governor, it's just so unusual that it also hit springfield, massachusetts, which i believe is your third largest city. i don't know if that's where the four deaths were, but at this point in time, you must be panicked and frantic to be looking for other survivors. >> well, we're very methodical about this. i'm standing right now in port square in springfield. i think you can see hyped me some of the great old trees which have just been picked up and tossed over. one of the fatalities was in the city of springfield. in neighboring west springfield, a separate town, we had two fatalityies. there a neighborhood i toured last night where there were several triple deckers flattened, cars picked up and spun around and tossed into buildings, i was told one story of a young mother who put her 15-year-old in the bathtub and then lept in on top of her in the nick of time just as the building was coming down. so the mother was lost. the 15-year-old was saved. >> brian: wow. tell me if these numbers sound correct, governor. right now we understand there is 33 that are injured and four have lost their lives and 55,000 without power? >> those are mostly correct. obviously this is very fluid. there are four confirmed fatalities right now. about 43 people were taken to hospitals last night in springfield. the number -- the total number of injured, i don't have for you across the whole of the region. but 43 were taken to hospitals last night. 55,000 customers without power across the whole of the region. i will say that the utilities, both electric and gas, have been on scene since yesterday afternoon and are responding beautifully in coordinating with the authorities. >> brian: have you had a chance to see the footage from the mounted camera over the lake when the tornado started forming itself and the funnel started gathering? what are your thoughts? >> yes indeed. i saw some of that footage from the emergency bunker yesterday afternoon shortly after this happened. i'm from the midwest, so i have some personal familiarity with the tornadoes, but it's not something that we see a lot of here in new england, particularly in massachusetts, as you know. of course, it came on so fast yesterday, the mayor of springfield told me he had all of ten minutes notice from the until weather service. >> steve: we know you got a big day picking up the pieces. we thank you for joining us live. >> thank you. we'll get through this and we'll get through it together. >> steve: thank you. let's talk politics with michelle malkin who joins us every week at this time. she's in colorado springs. we got to start with what is being referred to as the tabloids in new york as wienergate. yesterday he admitted he did not send it, but he couldn't say whether or not that lewd image was of himself. >> yeah. so it may or may not be his package, but he doesn't know if he delivered it and i think that the more he opens his mouth, the deeper the hole is that he's digging here. it's really causing much consternation now among his own party and party insiders. he's not being well served by his staff or his advisors or his ego, for that matter. and i think the more that he deflects, the more that he creates hostility with the liberal members of the press who have been such allies of his over the course of his political career, the worse it gets for him. >> gretchen: so yesterday he did this barrage of interviews and you would think that that would have cleared things up, but instead, some people are saying it made it worse. you listen and let me know what you think. >> is this twitter picture in question, a picture of you? >> well, let's remember this twitter picture in question is a hacker, a prank that someone posted on my twitter page with someone else's name in it, who says she never got it, doesn't mow me and i don't know her. >> you definitively didn't send it, but you can't definitively say whether it's you or not? >> i can definitively say i did not send this. i can definitively say it looks a lot like a prank and a joke about my name. i can say with set do you do that i have hired someone who is going to come in, reconstruct this to make sure it doesn't happen again. >> my twitter feed says this, from one guy, i put out that i was having this interview with you and here is what he said: quote, seriously, how does he not know what his own drawers look like? that was the question. >> fair enough. i tried to answer this for you several times. i appreciate it. thank you. >> gretchen: michelle, we did an unofficial poll here among brian and steve and the crew, which all happens to be men at this point. they all said that, without doubt, they would be able to know their drawers. >> brian: frightfully. >> steve: seen it a million times, they're in the drawer every morning. >> brian: i can identify my drawers in a line - up. >> gretchen: their drawers on. >> good to know. it doesn't take some high level csi type forensics to know. which raises a couple of questions, one being how many other pictures might there be like this that would cause someone not to know whether definitively that these are his? and i think more seriously, of course, there are other people who would know and those are people who anthony wiener is going to have to answer to, primarily his wife, of course, who in some of these interviews yesterday, he shamelessly used as a human shield and i think -- that's the bottom line here. as much fun as so many people are having, this is going to have a human toll on his marriage and probably one of the most candid things he said yesterday, worrying in public about whether he's going to survive the first anniversary of that marriage. ultimately, i think what he needs to do is reassess this strategy of being so combative, arrogant, and continuing to say that we should move on while his mouth continues to run and not answer direct questions from the press. >> brian: i got to ask you about governor palin. her next stop will be in boston, then to new hampshire, it's speculated. by the way, mitt romney is announcing he's running for president there. is that a coincidence or is she sending a message? >> i have no idea. and that's why i love governor palin so much is that she's left everybody in the lurch here. she answers to no one. she's beholden to no one. she does her own thing, which is why so many in the beltway gop establishment are up in arms, let alone the liberal media, which has just embarrassed itself. i think that's probably the most brilliant outcome of this entire trip is you've got the boys behind the bus, when they were so used to for decades being on the bus and ruling the road to the white house. >> steve: they don't know what to make of what's going on. all right. michelle, we thank you very much for joining us from colorado springs today. have a great weekend. >> you bet. take care. >> brian: coming up straight ahead. >> gretchen: president george w. bush breaks his silence. what he really thinks about the raid on osama bin osama bin lad. >> brian: when you cut your mortgage check, do you really know where your money goes?

>> it's the fact they're killing animals, especially endangered species animals, hump backs and fin whales. it's 2011. it should have been stopped years ago and the governments aren't doingnything about it. someone has to. >> steve: you're a former u.s. military. >> yes, sir. >> steve: you guys conduct this almost like a military operation. >> absolutely. captain paul and alex and locky know exactly what they're doing out there. i have complete faith in all of them. >> steve: they have called you a pirate, captain. >> they can call me anything you like, i don't care. >> brian: how much have you caused -- cost them? >> about $200 million. >> brian: is there intimidation factor seeing something that size, a whale? >> oh, they're fascinating creatures, no doubt about it. we swum with them, dove with them, got to know them really well. they're incredible cree tours. >> steve: why do you do it? >> because i love the environment. i love the ocean. it's the most important thing to me. i worked in commercial property, real estate, for eight years. i've sat at my desk going the fishing in the ocean needs to be stopped. if we're going to live on this planet as well as humans, we need to keep the environment intact. it's crunch time. it really, really is. it's really that bad. >> steve: the japanese fishermen hate you guys. >> next week we're heading into the war zone off libya to go after poachers taking advantage of the war. we're going after bluefin tuna. >> brian: you have ten episode there is. what's going to be the focus additionally?

>> no. to go to a double dip recession, you need two more quarters of negative growth that. would be -- if only one thing that could possibly do that would be a five or 6-dollar-gallon of gas. >> steve: speaking of gas, we had the texas land commissioner on our program talking about the sand dune lizard which apparently it's endangered and they're worried about it becoming extinct. if that is placed on the endangered species list, thousands of people could be in the texas oil industry, kicked out of work because they need to protect that thing that nobody can find. >> right. millions of barrels of oil will be pulled off the market. that will shoot gasoline prices up. this is the endangered species act list that these environmental groups, like the center for biological diversity, this guy who put that thing on the map, that lizard on the map, he's now come forward with another one. a one inch sea horse, hopefully we have a picture of it -- one inch sea horse in the gulf of mexico. they're trying to get that little guy right there -- >> gretchen: it's cute. >> you can't ride him and what they want to do is blame that guy for kind of becoming extinct, so they want to stop drilling in the gulf of mexico. >> gretchen: wait a minute. do you think it's a political situation? >> here is what they do. it's all political. they put these things, they bring literally thousands of lawsuits and try and get these things on the list. mr. obama has a green agenda. no question about it. steven shue is green, the energy secretary. ken salazar, the interior secretary. also very green. the new guy, this is very important -- the guy that obama nominated on tuesday for the commerce secretary job, john bryson, there are those of us who watch this stuff carefully, you can almost call him an eco terrorist. he is so pro-green, the point is, all these cabinet positions are held by very, very green agenda environmentalists. it's scary. by the way, our gas prices go up. >> brian: right. so besides ai can'tman, no one can ride the sea horse. if it's gone tomorrow, i cooperate care less. promise me you'll come every thursday. >> every thursday, yeah. >> gretchen: all right. we have more headlines now for you this morning. flames and rumors raging in arizona while firefighters struggle to contain the 75,000-acre wild fire that's been burning there for three weeks. people live in the area. here is what they say. they say it was started by illegal immigrants being chased by border agents. the forest is a major smuggling route for drugs. >> steve: the couple who held jaycee did you goar to prison today. now 31-year-old was forced to live in an outdoor tent much she gave birth to two daughters after he raped her. dugard is expected to speak in court. we'll bring you excerpts. >> brian: last night, president george w. bush made his first public comments about osama bin laden. in a speech in lancaster, pennsylvania, chamber of commerce, he said, quote, i was joyous, i was pleased. america should never be seeking revenge. we should be seeking justice and justice was rightly done. the president made a tough decision. he could have said, i don't believe the intelligence. that's from president bush. >> gretchen: the former head of national public radio, npr, who left under a cloud of controversy is reportedly going now to nbc. sources say vivian schiller is up for a job as head of digital projects. she's responsible for the firing of fox news contributor juan williams. juan joined us earlier on "fox & friends." here is what he had to say. >> i'm surprised that a media company given what she approved of in terms of taking on a reporter for simply saying what was on his mind, a journalist, an opinion journalist, which is what i am, i just find that crazy. >> gretchen: schiller resigned after another npr executive was busted on camera making demeaning remarks about conservatives. >> steve: meanwhile, let's take a look at the weather on this thursday. look at this, widely scattered thunderstorms scooting through the missouri and mississippi valley at this hour. a little action down along the gulf coast. out in the pacific northwest. otherwise thankfully the northeast is drying out right now after that crazy day yesterday. current temperatures, it is very, very pleasant. much cooler today than yesterday. i was out on my riding moe -- mower doing the lawn. it's 71 in new york city. it's about 60 throughout the ohio valley. it will warm up a little bit, maybe five or six degrees throughout the ohio valley later on today. then mid atlantic, back through the mid mississippi and missouri valley, hot, hot, hot. 95 today in raleigh-durham and atlanta. about the same for memphis and also new orleans. san antonio is going to top out in the mid- to upper 90s, as will dallas. look at that, old el paso today, 99. that's a quick look at your fox travel cast. >> gretchen: i think we'll head outside to brian where he is with a very special pitcher. >> brian: thank you very much. i'm sitting here with dillon gee. you are one of the real stars of the new york mets, the great hope they have. thank you for joining us out here today. >> no problem. thanks for having me. >> brian: first off, you jump out with the new york mets 5-0. did you expect that coming up from buffalo one year ago?

in the locker room, is that something that's kept away from you guys? >> we're all professionals and we have a job to do. that's what we focus on doing and that's what we've been doing. >> brian: of course, you're a high round draft pick coming out of texas. have you ever had to catch this early in the morning?
