steve, if you're involved in a scandal, don't write the headline for the paper. >> okay. >> by taking your dirty laundry to the the cleaners. and the dirty laundry hung out to dry. >> not a good thing to do. >> many people are asking why doesn't he resign. >> a spokesperson says he's taking a short leave becoming a better husband and healthier person and seeking treatment. >> he wasn't going to quit, he was going to ask for a timeout. by the way he still has to officially write a letter and stuff like that. he hasn't done it. >> they have to write the letter and the house has to approve that letter, right. >> exactly right. >> in the leave of absence. >> so he's going to go get treatment. >> he's gone already. >> for what? >> cyber-sex addiction. >> i don't think we know that for sure. >> and tell you the other that have signer sex addiction, tiger woods, remember david duchovney, the actor, also i think russell brand, married to katy perry. may be a full house over there. >> i'm not sure exactly. >> out of town and so he's on his way there somewhere doing, doing that for whom-- >> they said he already left. they don't know where though. >> the writing was on the wall and announced he's not going to go, the democrats were absolutely furious and then in a coordinated effort, a whole bunch of them came out all at once and said he's got to go, got to go, got to go, here is the head of the dnc first. >> it's with great disappointment i call on my colleague anthony weiner to resign and his continued service in congress is untenable. this affair is a distraction for mr. weiner, his family, constituents and the house and for the good of all he should step aside and address those things most important, his and his family. >> but he's not going to go. what about nancy pelosi. >> a little more vague in her response. this is what she said. congressman weiner has the love of his family, confident of his constituents and recognition he does need help and i urge congressman weiner to seek that help without the pressures of being a member of congress. does that mean leave of absence or don't be be a member of congress at all. >> hit the bricks, get out. >> kind of leaning that way. >> not so vague, senator von hollen and he had this to say, anthony weiner's repeated violation of the public trust is unacceptable. he can best advance the issues he fought for by resigning immediately. >> meanwhile, as he does that. you've got the democrats who say you've got to go, got to go, got to go, chuck schumer a couple of days ago very supportive of mr. weiner, continues to stand by his decision to stay in office. keep in mind, mr. weiner is doing great damage politically to his party and yet, all schumer would have to do, 'cause some in the local papers have depicted mr. weiner as kind of the mini he me vrgs of of mr. schumer, all schumer would have to say is you've got to go. he's not doing that. >> they're friends, both new yorkers, puts them in a tough position. >> officially he says he's heart broken for those of us who are long time friends of anthony weiner and his wrongful behavior is saddening, and clear he needs professional help and i'm glad he's now seeking that p help. >> what do you think? do you think this is appropriate? do you think mr. weiner really realized, wait a minute, i've got a problem. i need to get help. the or was it the news that accumulate out just a couple of days ago, about the 17-year-old delaware girl from new castle and you know, mike and i saw some of the stuff she has posted in the past online. the good news for weiner is apparently the state police of delaware have closed their investigation already. >> why would he-- >>, but still. >> why wouldn't he resign and why does he want the media to continue to talk about this and we will. i feel sorry for his wife who works for hillary clinton. hillary clinton came out allegedly according to the new york post and said we're just, we're furious with him. bill and i are furious with him. >> on the job and sitting-- >> clinton considered her like a daughter. >> bill clinton married them, officiated at their wedding. >> one other person very supportive of mr. weiner is charlie rangel. >> that's funny, isn't it? >> yeah. >> oh, well, we're going to talk more with our political panel, that is assembling over there stage left, in a little bit, but now, let's talk about this. former governor sarah palin, she sure knows how to type and during her time in office during governor, something like 24,000 e-mails which have finally been released after they took out stuff they felt was of a nation. >> and they've asked us to help move along, a lot of people say looking for bombshells, something negative to say about her. but after reading and scouring about 24,000 pages of e-mails, nothing, but really a lot of support for her. >> she has a lot of support obviously from the christian coalition and the christian base so a lot of the e-mails are scriptures, or encouraging letters about god and how they're so glad she is he' a christian and we have a few for you. you want to read through some of these. >> why not. >> i heard general eisenhower answer a question on-- >> a supporter. >> exactly. someone who went through the e-mails, this is one of the e-mails, to answer a question on tv about his notion that he had the ability to serve as president since he had no previous experience other than the military. his response was brilliant and i gained a sudden feeling of confidence in this military man. he he said may not know all there is to know about economics, i might not know all about fiscal responsibility. i may not know all there is to know about foreign affairs, but as your president i will have the power to hire as advisors the people that do know. please use list quotation, sincerely, rosemary franklin, a republican. >> some of the other bombshells, she didn't like unfavorable press coverage. who does. >> right. >> and she prayed for strength. >> and you just touched on the fact that the washington post and the new york times and this says a lot about them and state of affairs this. he asked for help. we've got 24,000 pages we're looking for junk on her, help us conduct this witch hunt. so far they haven't been able-- >> is it a witch hunt though? it is --. >> don't you think. >> it is public records. >> they're politically opposite from her. you would think so. >> right. >> for instance when the health care reform bill came out. thousands of pages and would take lawyers weeks, but did they ask for help? the way to get the viewers or readers to do their work. >> shouldn't the newspapers be doing work like that. >> going through e-mails of governors, probably should. >> ashton kutcher doesn't agree with you, mike. it sounds like he was defending sarah palin in one of his tweets and he's got a million tweet followers he writes as much as i'm not a fan of sarah palin i find sifting through her e-mails repulsive and overreaching media. >> they're not private e-mails. >> from tennessee or-- >> and the son of a democrat official out there. >> even these e-mails are redabbed. no sensitive materials in them, but majority show she's strong and can get testy as any governor in america would when things aren't going well. >> and some suggested on the right how much the mainstream media hates her and in her, they see somebody who, if she had power, remember, she's not a public official right now. she would be really something. >> they really are scouring heavily for somebody hasn't declared candidacy for president. what if she does. >> why the obsession with sarah palin? >> that's a good question, should we be going through our officials e-mails? we pay for the computers as taxpayers. >> nothing wrong with doing it, but what is the point of diagnose it. >> right. and i think these particular e-mails were requested back when he she was first named john mccain's running mate and so this has been cooking for a couple of years and she finally got them and no bombshells. >> you're not allowed to go through her private e-mails fr. >> not supposed to. >> somebody did. >> how about the fire in arizona, gets bigger and bigger. >> i feel so sorry for those we work so hard for our homes and properties. >> it could be over. >> we have a fox news alert the massive wildfire burning in arizona new jumped state lines in new mexico and no signs of letting up. only 5% of the fire is contained so far and we've d dispatched mick reichmuth, from arizona. >> this is one of the treasures of arizona, so sad it's burning like this. over 439,000 acres and containment. yesterday they had it at 6% and come down to 5% and yesterday, the winds really increased and had a couple of days of winds and calmed down, allowed them to get a bit of a handle on this and now the winds increased and today stronger, gusting up to 40 miles per hour and that's a concern that some of the fires, some embers could shoot over some of the areas that they've blockaded and some of the areas that they've burned up, kind of the safety zone could go a mile or two over that and start new fires. a community about a mile away, springerville and eager, and 2000 people had to evacuate and a lot of people hoping they're okay and would like to get back into the community and haven't been able to do so. fire is still a concern, but air quality is a big concern. we have a light shining up here. obviously, it's dark now, but you can get an idea, you see the haze, that's smoke in the area and saying parts per million when it gets to around 30 it's unhealthy. yesterday they measured at 1200. anybody who has any kind of a respiratory illness, asthma, emphysema, anything like that in the elderly, they have big concerns about them breathing in some of the toxins and that's a concern right now. one community about 20 miles from here called grier and 22 of those residences were burned. 22 out of around 200 residences, 10% of that town burned, a couple of nights ago. yesterday we were able to get close to that and talked with firefighters on the front line when the fire went through and take a listen to what one of them had to say. >> it's pretty incredible that day when you look at the column, the intensity and that and you know the heat, you can see it boiling up and then you can see the, you know, the rotation on that column, pretty incredible. you know, it's intimidating. >> yeah, he's talking about that column, the column of fire that they were saying was around 200 feet tall and seeing that come at the community, the community is tucked into a canyon, very difficult to fight and they did brave work and able to save about 180 residences there, the fire danger not done in that community and there's still fire burning around it and they're saying there and standing guard and trying to protect the homes that have not burned and people have not been able to he get back into that community yet to see their homes, not everybody's been identified and they won't let us actually get back in there until those residences have been able to get in there ab go their stuff first, guys. >> devastating. thanks, rick. now for your headlines and other headlines. crews resumed the search for missing indiana student and hopes that nationwide exposure will help produce new leads. some of her friends being considered persons of interest in her disappearance of the yesterday we learned a second acquaintance of speierer gave a dna sample. the roommate of cory rothman who police believe was one of of the last people to see her. a convicted murderer from memphis now headed for death row. jurors recommended the death penalty for 33-year-old james hawkins, he killed his girlfriend, the mother of his three children back in february of 2008. prosecutors say he used his 12-year-old daughter to help cover up that crime. and this morning, the white house is hailing the death of another key al-qaeda militant, calling it a significant blow to the terrorist group. secretary of state hillary clinton said that the killing of abdella mohammed would severely disrupt efforts to expand control in africa. in a somali check point, the apparent master mind of bombings in kenya and tanzania. today, newt beggingrich looking for a political do-over. he'll gave a major speech in california and jet to new hampshire for a g.o.p. despite on monday night. 16 staffers, including his campaign manager walked out on newt last week, staffers say that he wasn't committed to campaigning aggressively. and she will spend the summer at home. our fox news is confirming congresswoman gabrielle giffords plans to leave the hospital in houston the end of the month. she's been there since late january since being shot in the head and regained some ability to walk and talk and will continue the speech and physical therapy treatment as an outpatient. those are the headlines. over to steve. >> thank you. we told you about anthony weiner hows' now taking a leave of absence from the house of representatives, but refusing to resign despite growing pressure from his on colleagues on his side of the aisle. will weiner's decision hurt the political party? fox news contributor helen radner, radio talk show host, david web and robert from role call. >> good morning. >> dana, let's start with you, he's hurting the democratic party and you are loving it? >> and i like the fact that he's hurting the democratic party. what i don't luke, this is becoming a major distraction from fixing the economy and jobs and there are democrats that republicans can actually work with to get this problem fixed. anthony weiner is it a hyper partisan, hyper progressive guy who likes to throw bomb and we need to get rid of him and his own colleagues, debby wasserman, harry reid won't take his phone calls. >> ellen, you're on the democrat side of the aisle. you want him gone, don't you. >> no, actually i don't. i believe in --. >> you don't? >> absolutely not. i believe that what he is experiencing is a mental illness, a sex addiction illness and i think that he should go to treatment. i think what he's going through should be explained to the american public and to his constituency and i think he should probably, unless we hear something really horrible on the way in there, should stay there. >> well, okay. maybe he-- we don't know what kind of rehab he's got. >> thank you very much. >> gone to. but resume sex rehab, don't you have a problem that somebody who lives in new york, that over the last two weeks, he has been a serial liar. if you want somebody in congress-- >> serial lying comes with that kind of addiction. >> and two things, one, as far as we know he's done nothing illegal. you know, you can lie, that's not breaking the constitution and so forth. so, you also take into consideration, senator david vitter who actually did break the law accord to go what we know and he's still in office. we need to look at the facts. he did something deeply, deeply immoral and not-- >> there's a bigger picture, a guy, a congressman, if you lie we've seen this with mcgreevey from new jersey and others, you can be in a position, black mailed, coerced and i'm sorry, ellen, if somebody has a problem where they are a security risk in their job. >> he he wasn't black mailed. >> that we know of. >> oh, please. but the problem is, you're a risk, whether it's right or left and by the way, the issue right here is weiner. i hear the calls for vitter, but we're talking about weiner right now, a guy who convincingly lied to bret baier, wolf blitzer, used kirsten powers to-- >> and his wife. >> he's got an illness, guys. >> nancy pelosi said four years ago-- it's not the american people's problem. >> she said she was going to drain the ethical swamp in d.c. and it's more hypocritical issue that she and the democrats need to look at. do they want somebody who presumably has some type of an addiction, and presumably-- not resumebly, but a liar and-- >> it's up to his-- >> i think when he saw that poll, i think that poll is what convinced him, hey, wait a minute, maybe i should say because people do like me, but here is the the problem. if this-- and this is why people looking in this morning and watching the spectacle for two weeks are going we don't get it. if this guy were working in a private business he would have been toast. >> no, he would have-- >> if he was a school teacher he would be in a rubber room or gone in a minute and by the way, look at the other issues coming out here, all right? we've got the 17-year-old girl in delaware, that may be not illegal or salacious we don't know yet. >> inappropriate? >> that's what he says. >> that's what he said for ten days he lied to the american public and again used people like kirsten powers to spread his lies, let me finish ellen, on this. if we've got a guy willing to lie convincingly and live in his own narcissism at that level and risk his job to the american people, he doesn't belong in congress no matter what party he's in. >> if he were in a large corporation, he would see the employee assistance program and get treatment. >> a lot would fire them. they're not going to risk-- >> and there's two constituencies here that want him to stay. 56% of his constituency and also his wife. allegedly his wife is privately saying, anthony, stay in power. she knew about this to a certain degree. >> he doesn't serve his wife in congress, he serves his constituents, the american people. >> and that's 56%. >> you look at one poll. i'm looking at the issue and not the poll. >> remember, he did nothing illegal as far as we know. >> it's not about illegal always. >> something really gigantic-- >> and absolutely has an addiction, guys. >> illegal is a dodge here, steve. here is why, the problem is it's his ability to do his be be job most effectively. >> that's why he's getting treatment. >> well, ultimately though, his job is politics and politically-- >> if the bosses are saying, tony, you've got to go, got to go, got to go. >> he has a district. >> the unfortunate truth. if in fact more texting comes out borderline or-- this guy will be out. >> let's talk about the guys, he believes it and comes across that way. >> that's part of the disease, my friends. >> he will either resign by monday or tuesday, or he will stick it out because there are other people he has issues with in the democratic party and frankly i see weiner wanting to take some down with him. >> he'll go to treatment for a month and we'll see what happens at theened of it. >> to fix years of addiction, i bet you a dollar, he's gone. i win, when he comes back within a week. >> what do you think out there in tv land, e-mail friends@foxnews.com. spirited debate. >> thank you. >> mike and ainsley, who needs coffee. >> exactly. wow, that was good. >> a politician who wants to pray? i mean, i guess that he's up to no good. why are critics saying there's something sinister about rick perry's prayer event. >> and looked like they might have missed the memo, more agents are in trouble. >> to see this, an incredible car crash and the driver who walked away. >> wow! >> look, he's laughing. >> i can only say that because he's not hurt. >> he's okay. look at that! >>. . >> i know, standing there, didn't move. run! >> [ male announcer ] things seem 45% better when you save up to 45% at travelocity. our girl's an architect.

here is another example, the tsa in the name of safety. apparently did something disgusting. a family en route to disney world and a 29-year-old son who is severely disabled. >> i think the mental capability of a two-year-old, but 29 his name is drew mundy, his dad is david mundy. >> and ts acha patting him down and i guess we can disclose it it was in the article and adult diapers in the 29-year-old kid. >> and dad is saying it's a disgrace his son didn't know what's going on. he doesn't have the mental capability to understand and this is what his father said. >> got to be kidding me. i honestly felt those two agents did not know what they were doing. and took a hammer and tapped the wall like this, hard, it can be used as a weapon and holding the ball. >> oh, he can keep that. >> i realize they're trying to keep people safe, but you know, come on, does he look like a terrorist. >> so drew, the young man there, well, 29-year-old mental capacity of a two-year-old. he's always carried since he was a bitty boy that plastic hammer and-- >> like a security blanket. >> exactly they they looked at that, was that a weapon. >> and they took it away. they have apologized and said it was poor judgment in hindsight. >> what do you think about agents, you have he got what's going on in honolulu, got the guys that do that to that poor fella and always in hindsight we made a big mistake and we're sorry and apologize to the family. >> talking about the new technology i've learned about in the last week, it's a smelling device, so you don't take anything off. you roll your bag through behind you and all of that and it's a new computer system, it smells you. that would be amazing. you wouldn't have to get the big-- >> no, taking shoes off. you're just walking by. >> please, let's approve this. this is great. >> no kidding. we were down in fort lauderdale two weeks ago and i went through the naked scanner. >> yeah, they've got one in fort lauderdale. >> well, 'cause my wife has a, a knee replacement, every time she gets the complete patdown by the lady in the blue gloves and we both went through it, five seconds, it's great and so much better. >> my wife said teas so much better than-- >> otherwise she's got to have the complete patdown. >> every time you fly she has to go through. >> she goes, i've got a knee remraument. >> do you have to take a doctor's notice, no, they pat you down. >> she's got the card, but what's to stop the bad guys from printing up a card and signing some document. the naked thing is faster and good to know that they've got the sniffer on the way. >> you don't mind being sniffed at the airport. rubbing perry, the governor, a possibilitile' be a dark horse in the presidential race, no doubt about it. this is what he said. there is hope for america, and we just might find it on our knees. praying. there's a praying and fasting event in houston in august, you know what, i think that maybe jesus might have the answers for us, governor come down and pray and fast with me in august in houston, texas and taking heat for that. >> he is, so for only one other governor agreed to come from our home state. sam brownback from the state of kansas. what's curious about this event. apparently exactly one week before the straw poll in iowa where the people of iowa pick the people they like. and you know, for-- >> if jobs is -- if jobs are what americans need. a lot of people are looking at texas apparently in the last year, texas added more jobs, i think, than all the other states combined. >> in the rough economy, texas is not doing so badly as the rest. >> you're right. he's called for this particular event. and people are saying where is the separation between church ap state and americans united for separation of church and state, the spokesperson has criticized-- ainsley. >> i've never seen a governor initiate and lead this kind of christian's only prayer rally. the governor says that's not the case. a sectarian gathering that excludes millions of americans. my question here, in congress they have prayer service, you're welcome to go if you're in congress to pray for the country, to pray for our leaders and they don't exclude democrats or republicans in this group anyone is welcome to go. so, basically that's what he's doing, he's saying i'm welcoming any governor to come no matter what your faith is. come and pray to your god and we'll pray for our country. >> and do you think he might insight congressman from queens? >> say he needs to. >> governor perry says everybody is invited. keep you apprise of that. >> what do you think of this one, does it sound like super holy thing that a governor should not be involved in? or does it sound okay to you. these are tough times and a lot of people are looking everywhere for answers. >> right. >> let us know. >> meanwhile, a fox news alert. massive air fires burning through arizona and jumped into another state through new mexico, no signs of letting up and only 5% of the fire is contained right now. >> fox news meteorologist rick reichmuth is originally from the state of arizona and knows the terrain well and lives out there-- live out there. i'm reading this among, thought you lived out there. where are you from. >> pressscott. people think desert and stuff, but a lot of pine forest and see that in the video there, pine for rest is on fire here, eastern arizona now, there are two large wildfires burning. the larger one. wallow fire burned 139,000 acr acres. almost a half million and there's the horseshoe 2 fire. 130,000 acres. in the last years there have been largest fires they've seen in recorded data in the state of arizona and across the west they didn't allow some of the fires to burn and didn't allow some of the brush to burn in a healthy fashion, there could be seen over the next decade that are catastrophic. right now the big fire they're continuing to fight. yesterday afternoon we spoke with some of the firefighters about some channels they're facing now. take a listen to what one of them had to say. >> i believe to project values of risk, our homes and property and national resources obviously at risk here, too, we need to stay focused and keep our head in the game and see this thing through and minimize loss, this is a catastrophic wildfire. >> reporter: and that's the exact thing they're trying to do, minimize the losses here and there are structures still at risk from burning from the fire and looking at the weather condition. take a look at the forecast. not looking good. winds picking up. today and tomorrow stronger than yesterday, gusting to around 40, maybe 45 miles an hour that means a lot of the fires could jumped some of the burned protected areas that they've done and start the additional spot fires and that's a concern. maybe we see the winds decrease a little on wednesday and then pick back up again on thursday. so not looking good and guys, one last thing. if you live in arizona and a lot of people from arizona, arizona highways is the magazine here that highlights the beauty of arizona. we've got the editor of of this magazine coming on later to show us some of the beautiful pictures of the area on fire so people can get an idea of the big loss this is for the state of arizona. >> all right. rick reichmuth live out in arizona, thank you very much. >> fires are just so devastating. we've seen so much devastation in our country the last months. >> tornados and flooding all that. >> and you work so hard for what you have and one second it's gone. now for the re of your headlines, a brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters are back in syria this hour. tanks and troops rolled into a tournament in northern syria, a hot bed of anti-government activity. witnesses say at least two people killed, dozens more arrested and the white house says they're creating a humanitarian crisis, but blocking aid shipped to refugees. thousands have fled across the turkish border to escape the crackdown. gruesome new evidence in the casey anthony trial. it appears that little caylee's body could be in her more's trunk for days before being dumped into the wood. and an insect expert saying it was killed with blow flies, known for eating on decomposing flesh. and this picture, caylee's face morphing into the photo. and a michigan bus crackdown, carrying hums in the-- they've been cracking down on tour bus companies since fatal and horrific crashes earlier this year, one in the bronx and the other weeks later in virginia. a wild crash after 24 hours of lemans in france. scottish driver makes contact with a ferrari sending him in the wall. the car goes airborne and shatters into thousands of people. hitting people standing behind the wall. look at this. remarkably he walked out of the car, no injury amazingly. no one in the stand injured as well. and everyone is very lucky. look at this crash, that's crazy. >> i was told that he's got a-- >> right, right. >> and he's okay. all right, we've the got the pictures. straight ahead on this sunday morning. do you think that anthony weiner should step down?

the director of economic policy studies at the american enterprise absolute and joins us from washington. kevin, good morning to you. so $400 million dollar. all you've got to do is watch the business news at night and now we're bleeding red ink. yet, half a billion dollars for a hockey stadium. is this a good idea? >> yeah, really, if you think about the obama stimulus as a bad movie. this is like the really bad sequel to the movie and freddy builds the stadium. the fact is that 400 million dollars on this stadium is the supporters going to say pay for itself. they say it's going to stimulate the economy and eighths huge waste of money. we showed a picture of the coliseum empty. the lowest attendance in the the nhl. about the worst record the islanders and building a new stadium isn't going to fix it. it's all around a bad idea. >> with people who are familiar with how things are working out in nassau county. i believe the state who has called in to oversee their finances because they were so broke and taking some bad decisions, what's at play horror, the guy who owns the islanders, a billionaire, he wants to sell the team, but he's not going to sell the team unless they've gotten a new house and somehow he's gotten the county executive involved. >> yes, basically a story we've seen many times with other stadiums. what happens, there's a little neighborhood if they build the stadium, the property values go up a lot and people in the surrounding region have to pay for that stadium. and everybody else's values go down. there's a concentrated interest that builds a huge profit and the owner is going to sell the team for hundreds of millions more if we give them hundreds of millions before he sells them. very, very simple math for him, but for the voters and the taxpayers, it's a really bad deal. >> if they don't build a new stadium, they would have that blighted building that we are he' looking at right there, been there since the '70s on their hands, right. >> the building has been there from the '70s, i like going to a play that has a history and tradition, the islanders have one of the proudest traditions in hoiblg and won four stanley cups in a row and that billed something a place of history on long island. fix it up, it's a nice stadium. i think that stadiums that are old are nicer and they send to draw more people when the team offers a good product. if there aren't people going to see hockey, it's because the hockey there stink. i think you and i could grab sticks and give them a fight. that would be interesting stuff and times are tough. 400 million dollars can certainly put-- i've been out there they need pothole repair crews on the scene. kevin, from the institute down in d.c. kevin, thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> straight ahead you usually hunt for buried treasure and now this adventurer is about to take on the toughe eses eses he wants to find bin laden's body. >> and father jonathan morris reporting for duty on this sunday morning. come on in, father, you're next. a lot of times, things are right underneath our feet, and all we need to do is change the way we're thinking about them. a couple decades ago, we didn't even realize just how much natural gas was trapped irocks thounds of feet below us. technology has made it possible to safely unlock this cleanly burning natural gas. this deposits can provide us with fuel for a hundred years, providing energy security and economic growth all across this country. it just takes somebody having thidea, and that's where the discovery comes from. if you have painful, swollen joints, i've been in your shoes. one day i'm on p of the world... the next i'm saying... i have this thing called psoriatic arthritis. i had some intense pain. it progressively got worse. my rheumatologist told me about enbrel. i'm surprid how quickly my symoms have beemanaged.

good morning to you, guys, welcome to "fox & friends" this morning, as you're waking up with us, headed to church or feeding the kids or whatever you're doing, we appreciate you watching. we start with a fox news alert. firefighters are fighting the second largest fire in arizona history and jumped state lines into new mexico now, showing no signs of letting up. only 5% of the fire is contained. >> mike: fox news chief meteorologist rick reichmuth is in arizona. rick, give us an update now. >> reporter: yeah, you know, this wildfire is in the white mountains of eastern arizona and butts up against new mexico, so he very close to new mexico, different spots and communities in new mexico are on guard and some potentially have to evacuate and doing protective burn areas to try to not allow the fire to proceed any further into new mexico, that's a big concern. that and the winds that have been on the increase since yesterday afternoon. they had a couple of good days to get at least crews into some of the fire areas, into some of the areas burning so they can protect some of the communities, with the winds now increasing around 40 miles an hour, 45 miles an hour this afternoon, big concerns that new spot fires will start and will jump some of the protective lines they've built. a lot of smoke in the area when you look up here, it's dark, obviously, still, but you can see in the light going across here, a lot of smoke in the area and saying that the parts per million when they get to around 30, at a dangerous level and they're right at 1200 is what they measured yesterday. so anybody who has any kind of respiratory problems, elderly, people with emphysema and asthma are encouraged to wear face masks to the doctor at all. and that is a concern for the community. there's the town of grier, 20 miles from here and took on fire. 22 of the residences there were lost and only 200 in the area. 10% of that community burned. yesterday we were able to get in and talk to some of the firefighters who protected that community and take a listen to what one of them had to say. >> it was pretty intense, but, you know, i felt confident that we did a lot of good in there. we had clear leadership, we had a good escape route and safety zone, everything we train on, but it was definitely intense seeing that fire rolling over the hills coming straight at you. >> i tell you, these guys, we talk to them and calm because of the training and natural demeanor and they are still there now, there's fire around it and people are not allowed back into these communities yet. that's a big concern and the wind, guys, are going to be much more forceful than the last three days. guys. >> ainsley: thank you, rick. brand new pictures of gabrielle giffords release moments ago. look at this, the first time we've seen her since she was shot in the head in tucson back in march. you can see that she's smiling. her hair is cut very smort and fox news is confirming that she plans to leave the hospital in houston the end of the month and regained some ability to walk and talk and will continue her speech and physical therapy treatments as an outpatient and we wish her the best. >> mike: beautiful. >> ainsley: she is, friends, family and police and volunteers resume the search for missing indiana students, lauren spierer. >> pass a mom, she's the light of our life and our hearts are breaking and this is a continuous nightmare. >> ainsley: some of her friends now being considered persons of interest in her disappearance and a second acquaintance of spierer named mike beth gave police dna sample and is cooperating with the investigation. a gruesome scene in north carolina, four people shot dead on a highway early saturday. the bodies of three women were found inside the car with one man outside of that car. police say that the shooting does not appear to be random. the victims reportedly in their early 20's. their names have not yet been released. police are still searching for suspects. this morning, the white house is hailing the death of another key al-qaeda militant, calling it a significant blow to the terrorist group and killing of mohammed will severely disrupt al-qaeda's effort to expand control in africa. mohammed, who was not an a somali check point while riding in an suv, was the apparent master mind of the bombings in kenya and tanzania. pakistani militant abandoned two different bomb making facilities days after the u.s. informed pakistan of their locations, according to "the washington post," the obama administration handed over information as a way to build trust following the death of usama bin laden. when authorities went to arrest the terrorists they were already gone. and those are your headlines. >> steve: meanwhile, talk continues here in the bug town of new york city and across the country, anthony weiner has got to go according to top democrats, but anthony weiner employed an interesting technique yesterday, when the going gets tough, the tough go to rehab. >> mike: weiner out of new york. >> ainsley: we don't know where he went. >> steve: we don't know what he's treated for, we just know that he is seeking help. >> mike: when we first heard about this. someone on tv. at least he didn't take the route, i'll go to rehab and-- >> they were wrong. >> mike: i jump to the conclusion, it's probably cyber-sex addiction if you believe that's had an addiction and a lot of psychologists think you can get to addicted to sex and cyber-s cyber-sexit go, he's saying he wants to go back to congress. he has to send in an official letter to congress and have to do that tomorrow, i think, the house then has to okay that abs we'll see what happens tomorrow morning. >> you've got to figure that the republicans would be absolutely happy to say, okay, take as much time as you want. don't leave because politically this is doing really damage to the democrats and that's why nancy pelosi called for him to get out as quickly as possible. and the woman who heads up the dnc stayed this yesterday. >> it's with great disappointment i call on my colleague, anthony weiner to design and representative weiner's continued service in congress is untenable, a distraction for representative weiner, his family, his constituents and the house and for the good of all he should step aside ap address those things that should be most important, his and his family's welfare. >> and nancy pelosi weighed in, she said that congressman weiner has the love of his family, confidence of his constituents and the recognition that he needs help. i urge congressman weiner to seek that help without the pressures of being a member of congre congress. >> steve: and we should point out some people have said, maybe the tipping point was, it was revealed on friday there's a 17-year-old girl who had been tweeting back and forth with mr. weiner. mr. weiner said don't worry it was absolutely innocuous, but who is really going to believe him about anything. >> mike: what i've seen from him, seem to be okay, but then we are he' reading the tweets from her, 17 years old, you know, and what she's doing probably here, but they got saucesy. >> steve: a good way to put it. >> and she's basically saying she has a crush on him at 17 and that's when he need today stop right there and-- >> maybe that's the tipping point. he was texting or tweeting. >> mike: you put the underage word in there and changes it. >> steve: apparently nancy pelosi and company for the past week have been telling, you've got to go. >> ainsley: it's constituents are not represented here ap the government is paying him to do a job. >> mike: if he quits, a special election or-- >> yes. >> mike: how about this, he quits and runs for reelection and see what his constituents think. that would be odd, wouldn't it. >> steve: that would be odd. how much would that cost. >> mike: that's true. >> steve: speaking of costs, the fellow used to be in the bush administration, todd buckles, written an editorial with a novel idea. this is it, and right now you can collect 99 weeks of unemployment and some have suggested, okay, where is the incentive to find a job? you can work at home on your couch doing nothing, and wind up with two yearsrs paid from the government. so, this guy's got a novel idea. >> mike: what, he says after 26 weeks, that unemployment would stop, right. >> steve: after 39. >> mike: but i think after 26. >> ainsley: after 26 you get three mines. he is saying we're not going to make unemployment that long. 99 weeks no more. we're going to make it 26 weeks. if you get a job, a three month signing bonus. >> mike: 39 weeks. >> ainsley: if you wait 39 weeks to get a job. eligible for two months signing bonus. >> mike: that's incentive. >> steve: yeah and the idea is, okay. you can go ahead and get a job and you'll still get some money from the government as a bonus for getting off the government dole. >> ainsley: right, right. >> mike: i don't know. >> ainsley: getting off your sofa, right, getting out there. >> mike: do you think the people that are unemployed. people without a job do just take that check? don't you think the majority of them want to get back to work. >> steve: i absolutely believe that's true. >> ainsley: the the problem is though-- >> there are probably a the lot of people scamming the system. >> ainsley: and if you made a lot of money, and then lose your job, you get more from the government, a bigger check so a lot of these guys are saying, and women are saying i'm not going to go work at mcdonald's or take a lower job because i'm going to make more money sitting on my sofa. >> steve: that's a good point. >> ainsley: yes. >> steve: underemployment which means people have taken jobs which part-time or whatever. >> ainsley: right. >> steve: would like a better paying job. the underemployment in this country i think is close to 20%, one in five people would like to be -- would like to have a different job and can't get it. why should i work when i can get two year's pay from the government. >> ainsley: and first, they can't pay their bills and why don't they buy groceries, but they're making more sitting at home. >> mike: they dispatched the dirt digging thing and didn't find a thing. why is the media so obsessed with paul palin and following the dead end roads. >> ainsley: and when environmentalists attack. animal activists go on the attack to stop the fishermen from fishing. >> steve: sorry mrs. paul's. ♪

eliciting all the world to just dig up any dirt they can possibly find to try to prove their point, but they've found nothing. >>. >> mike: you don't have a problem looking through. >> full disclosure, especially if you're a political figure. look at anthony weiner, i believe in full disclosure, but this is different and i think they've pulled out the stops. >> ainsley: my problem is, if the democrats say she's a celebrity, not cut out to be a politician, if they call her ignorant and not threatened by her, then why do they continuously harass and talk about her if they don't care. >> they are threatened by her, she is he' pro-life, pro gun. believes in using fossil fuels in our country. she is everything the left does not believe in and does not agree with. >> mike: is there a

gravitate to her. they can relate to her. >> ainsley: and she's tough. i mean, think about that. if someone were saying all of those things about one of us, or me, i would cower. >> she came up with

is? >> he's making the party look bad right now and all the lying and the cheating, going to rehab, he's just delaying the inevitable. >> ainsley: nancy pelosi and other democratic leaders they don't

look, you can't force him out, i don't think this is an expellable offense. i'm not sure the republicans want to expel him anyway and they prefer to keep him there so he's going to go get treatment and obviously the democrats, it was amazing yesterday. i was here at work, obviously, preparing for the show and you just saw the e-mails come one after another, like shots. first debby wasserman schultz and then pelosi and the head of the democratic committee saying get out. it may be that this provides weiner a graceful exit to go out and go get treatment and say after work with a therapist i've decided to. it doesn't seem much graceful about anthony weiner and the way he is he' handling it. >> steve: a moments ago, mike is telling us to you tmz has pictures of anthony weiner at the house gym and in towel and some not. >> ainsley: i'm thinking one or two pictures, in different outfits so this is various days and he's grabbing-- doing, awful. what do you make of this?

>> well, we found two major things, one is that states that are freer have greater in migration and less free are losing citizens. basically people are voting with their feet and freedom affects that. >> ainsley: what do you mean define a free state. >> well, we're not talking stalinist russia, but relative to the other states, states like new york, for example, massachusetts, california these are less free in all the areas, economics, regulatory policy, personal policy than states like new hampshire, colorado, idaho, indiana. a pretty big difference in these states. >> steve: we will we put them up. the four freest in the united states are new hampshire, south dakota, indiana and idaho. and you say more people are moving to those states because of the freedom? >> well, people move for a lot of different reasons, but one of those. we found a correlation between both economic freedom and personal freedom and in migration, so these are the states that are gaining population from pore states whereas the states like new york are losing population, lost almost 9% of the 2000 population over the last ten years. >> steve: that's amazing. let's put up the screen if we have it of the least free. there they are, hawaii, california, new jersey, which is where i live, and new york. >> ainsley: which is where i live. >> steve: exactly. and the thing about those final two states as well is, i think they're the two most highly taxed states in the union. >> ainsley: a the lot of people are moving, and harg friends say they're moving down south and you can sell your small house for a million dollars and move and get a mansion. >> we're seeing freedom having a big thing. not just economic freedom like i said, but personal freedom. >> ainsley: what do you mean by personal freedom. >> and also i should mention economic growth. personal income is growing based on your economic freedom so it has a big impact on your wallet. >> steve: as we look at the states you make your home in texas, where does that rank in your list. >> you know, it's in the top 20, top 15. it's pretty good state, can do a lot better. i think we should try to resemable more in policies with south dakota and new hampshire and colorado and idaho, but it's doing a lot better than states like massachusetts or maryland or others. >> yeah, property taxes there in texas are high because they don't take state tax out of your paycheck, so i bought a house there and taxes were pretty high there. >> that's why you have to look at your overall tax burden as opposed to any particular tax. because in texas we don't have an income tax and that's the feature of the texas tax system. >> more grist for the mill on this sunday morning. thank you for joining us from massachusetts. >> yeah, have fun visiting your family there. >> thank you for having me. >> thank you very much. we have breaking news coming up next and the fires out in arizona out of control and they are being fended off with fire. rick reichmuth is live covering the crisis in his home state. >> steve: they're literally fighting fire with fire. then what inspires the 11-year-old boy. he raises the flag each and every day outside of his school. no exceptions. >> ainsley: if you're like me and a dog owner, don't walk out the door without seeing what we have planned next. . >> steve: oh. ♪ >> i got my wife an ipad for the-- for mother's day. >> ainsley: that was nice. >> steve: thanks. >> ainsley: lucky lady. how is she liking it. >> steve: love it. and do you know what she downloaded?

>> rick: the fire can create its own weather patterns at least on a micro level when it gets as big as this one does but the broader weather pattern, there is a trough off to the north and is increasing the wind, and that is bringing winds today up to around 40 miles per hour. gusting especially in the afternoon, and that is a big concern. they feel like, for the most part, the communities around here, communities like springer and eager and alpine, they think they have them protected but winds will increase today and they are fearful fires would jump a couple of miles into areas they haven't protected, and that could spark new fires for allow it to continue to grow and that is a concern. we're on the border with new mexico and it is spilling into new mexico now and communities in new mexico are hard to reach by car, and, that is causing a lot of the problems as well. look at the weather maps, to put it into perspective. we're over 430,000 acres, that have burned and by the time it is done it will likely be the forst fire in arizona history. gets another 30,000 and will be in that distinction, the five largest fires in the state's history happened in the last nine years and that is a big concern, what is to come over the next number of years that's drought looks like it will continue and temperatures have been rising. right now, with this, they say smoke pollutants are at ast n astronomical levels and part of the reason it is going on, the drought monitor, eastern arizona area, under incredible drought, and in some cases the highest levels, and there are two large fires burning, not just this one and, another fire is burning in southeastern arizona, horseshoe-2 fire, on the border with new mexico. and here's a look at your forecast: temps not a big deal. but, winds that you see below, around 40 miles per hour. the next couple days and maybe a decrease by wednesday. and, increases again on thursday. so, they certainly have their hands full with this, guys, as the winds will continue and if there is a bright side, the winds are consistently out of the southwest, which means they have a good idea of the direction that the winds will be blowing. and the flames could be moving and that allows them to get a handle on that. if it is variable moving different directions and bigger problems and the wind direction, is helpful in getting up to 40 miles per hour and gusts, a big concern for them. back to you. >> i know you were there in front of the lake where the helicopters come with the buckets and get the water. if the wind is 35, 40 miles an hour, can they take the helicopters up? >> rick: they can, they just have to certainly be careful with it and, they are deciding which areas they need to target, it's not just the lake, it is other lakes around, that are maybe closer to different hot spots and, yes, you are right. that has to play into the equation, if it is safe for them to move and fight the fire in that manner. >> rick reichmuth reporting from his home state of arizona. thank you, sir. >> ainsley: the rest of your headlines and a "fox news alert." these are the first pictures taken of congresswoman gabrielle giffords since being shot in the had in january, she is smiling and looks good, new photos were released by her office this morning and fox news confirms she plans to leave the hospital in houston at the end of the month and regained some ability to walk and talk and will continue speech and physical therapy treatment as an outpatient. the search crews are combing the streets of bloomington, indiana. again, this morning, looking for missing indiana university student lauren spierer, last night the case was featured on "america's most wanted" in hopes it will generate more tips. >> as a mom, lauren is the light of our life and our hearts are breaking and this is a continuous nightmare. >> ainsley: some of her friends are considered now as persons of interest. in the disappearance and, a second acquaintance of her, named mike, gave police a dna sample and they say he's cooperating with the investigation. a freak accident involving dessert injuries? for florida? what is that -- what does that read. >> they were delivering desserts. >> ainsley: gosh. apparently, they were having -- banana foster. at the restaurants, in palm harbor and the waiter put too much alcohol in it, apparently, causing the dessert to explode into flames. and two people had to be zone to a nearby hospital including one woman, with second degree burns. whoa. >> flambe, gosh, it is horrible. >> no. no. no. >> ainsley: the pakistani government, tipping off terrorists,y new report shows the pakistani militants attacked bomb making facilities, before the u.s. informed pakistan of the location, according to the "washington post" the obama administration handed over the information as a way to build trust following the death of usama bin laden, well, authorities went to arrest the terrorists and they were already gone. that is the question, did pakistan tell them? >> looks a little shady. let's talk about that. coming up on the sixth day of august the governor in texas, rick perry will be hosting a special event, and, because the country is in the shape it is, what he's calling for is a day of prayer and fasting, on behalf of our troubled nation. and he's invite america's governors. >> he says there is hope for america. we still have hope for america and may find answers on our knees, in other words, pray, maybe jesus can help and is asking governors, actually, asking a lot of people, but is specifically pointing out, governors, come down with me and i think he has one governor taking him up on this and that will, again be the first week of august in houston, texas, getting flak for it. >> ainsley: he is, because several of the groups helping him put this on are christian conservatives and you have a lot of activists that are not for that. and don't believe that, and feel like there needs to be a separation, but he says, anyone is welcome, no matter, doesn't matter what god you are praying to, you are welcome to come and participate and pray for our country. >> the group, americans united for separation of church and state, spokesperson, who heads it up, here's what he says, i have never seen a governor initiate and lead this kind of christians-only prayer rally, a sectarian gathering that excludes millions of americans. meanwhile, the governor defends his program, he says, it is christian-centered, yes, but i have invited and welcome all people of all faiths to attend. it is open and it is free, and all you have to do is register. >> ainsley: and plus the majority of america, we said 76.5% of americans, claim to be christians. so, if you are appealing to the majority, there you go. >> and one other component, some have suggested that this is to help him launch, perhaps, a presidential bid and they say, no, he's now concerned with getting through the legislative session in austin, however, it is exactly one week -- the event is -- before the iowa straw poll. >> coincidence? maybe. >> ainsley: yes. >> i think he's going to get in. >> me, too. >> i do, too. we'll take a break. why is the mainstream media obsessed with digging up dirt on sarah palin? is there something they are not telling us? that is next. >> ainsley: then, guys, you have to see this to believe it. look! an incredible car crash. watch this -- >> goodness! >> ainsley: and the driver and all of those people, who walked away. thanks to the venture card from capital one, we get double miles on every purchase, so me and my lads earned arip to san francisco twice as fast we get double miles every time we use our card... i'll take these two... ...no matter what we're buying. ...and all of those. and since double miles add up fast, we can bring the whole gang! it's hard to beat double miles! whoa dude. [ male announcer ]et the venture card from capital one and earn double miles on every purchase, every day. go to capilone.com. what's in your wallet? and i can have a proposal to you within half an hour. we're a small business. with 27 of us always in the field, we have to stay connected. we use verizon tablets, smartphones. we're more responsive. there are no delays. delays cost money. with verizon, we do things quicker and more effectively. more small businesses choose verizon wireless than any other wireless carrier because they know the small business with the best technology rules. >> thousands of sarah palin e-mails have been released but no major bombshells have come out of it. so, why is the mainstream media so obsessed with the former governor of alaska? our next guest says it is strange we know more about sarah palin than our own president. joining us is the film maker behind the hit documentary "media malpractice, how obama got elected and sarah palin was targeted." john ziegler. >> good morning. >> so, tell you, we have asked the question 3-4 hours now, why is the mainstream media obsessed with sarah palin? what is your answer? >> well, the short answer is that she is great for ratings, and she also, because they love to attack her, is good for the mainstream media's liberal agenda and this last story, really, proves we have long ago left the gravitational pull of the rational earth when it comes to media coverage of sarah palin. which my documentary goes a long way in proving, and let's go through the layers, guys. as we know, she is a former governor of alaska, now a fox news analyst and, the news media, the 2008 election is over and i'm not sure what the relevance of all of this is. and second of all, juneau, alaska is where these e-mails were made available. the news media would not go up to juneau, alaska, which is probably the most inaccessible city in america if there was bona fide proof that barack obama was a martian and yet they live blogged the event as if it was a moon landing! and, you guys have said, they didn't find anything, nothing remotely close to a bombshell and today's l.a. times, laughably is upset, because, get this, she had a penchant for trying to correct media inaccuracies about herself. wow! my gosh! this is horrible. horrible stuff! i mean, this is really bizarre, and i'm sure your colleague, geraldo is feeling better about the whole al capone fiasco at this point. >> we're not going there... >> the episode makes him look good. >> what do you say, though, john, 24,000 e-mails released by the state of alaska and "the new york times" and the "washington post" enlisting people who have an axe to grind and dig around and find dirt for us, people. >> well, it is actually worse than that, steve. the league of women voters participated in this. this is supposed to be the most nonpartisan group when it comes to voting. the league of women voters? plus we had the former members of the public employees unions of alaska. i mean, this is laughable. "saturday night live" could not possibly spoof this, because that is what we have reached with sarah palin. and, of course, as of now she's not even running for anything, i think there is a good chance she'll run for president but this is utterly laughable and who among us could possibly have withstood this kind of scrutiny without any kind of remote bombshell coming forward and i think the whole thing is amazing if it wasn't so sad. >> it is about ratings, though, if you love her or hate her, you like to watch her, john. >> well obviously she's a good looking woman and is very entertaining and controversial and the left loves to hate her and she makes member members of the left, especially liberal females like joy bahart feel badly about themselves, and, it is really a perfect storm, and, now we see a weird situation when it comes to the potential presidential race, where the media needs her to run. they desperately want her to run, because, without her, let's face it. the republican primary race is not going to be nearly as interesting. >> thanks. >> thank you. >> thanks for getting up so early in l.a. all right, straight ahead, this is something, a school handing out sex surveys to 7th graders. now, parents want to sue the school. do they have a case? would you do that? we'll report and you'll decide. >> religion in the white house, whether you like it or not, faith influences many presidents' politics. michael reagan will join us in just a minute. a vacation on a budget with expedia. make it work. booking a flight by itself is an uh-oh. see if we can "stitch" together a better deal. that's a hint, antoine. ooh! see what anandra did? booking your flight and hotel at the same time gets you prices hotels and airlines won't let expedia show separately. book it. major wow factor! where you book matters. expedia. >> ainsley: welcome back, a school in massachusetts is now under fire, after asking students to complete a survey, with some shocking questions. including this one. have you ever tried to kill yourself? the survey went even further. to ask 7th and 8th graders about their sex lives without their parents' consent and now, one mom is filing a complaint, arlene joins us now, along with her lawyer, and this is mr. john whitehead. thanks for being with us. arlene, what were some of the questions that you felt were inappropriate for your two daughters, the 7th and 8th graders at the middle school? >> the questions they asked about, was, their sexual behavior, and, particularly, how many people they had sex with, questions such as condom use, use -- and whether they'd ask their partners whether they would use a condom or having any sexual relations, and, there was two surveys, distributed to my 8th grader, and, another one of those surveys actually asked about her activities in giving oral sex. >> ainsley: whoa! >> and some of the questions, i don't think can even be posted on tv this morning, because it would offend some of the viewers. which, to me, is a concern. if you can't put it on a tv screen, because you are concerned off offending viewers, then imagine 7th and 8th graders. >> ainsley: right, if you are worried about offending adults watching the program, why would a 7th and 8th grader be privy to that, those questions. john, let me ask you, legally, is there a case here? >> yes. there is a federal law that says clearly that parents need to have -- have to give written consent for any of these questions to be asked of children. >> ainsley: does that happen -- >> that didn't happen? no permission slip? >> no, they used passive consent and sent the note home from the lunch box and the folder and if they don't hear from the parent they do the test and that is not what the federal law requires, we sent a note to the school and said, follow federal law and now we have appealed to the department of education and that could affect funding. so, the department of education needs to correct this, and if they don't, we'll move forward and consider a lawsuit. but, you have to understand this, supreme court ruled effectively, these things violate parental rights and, the supreme court said parents have a right to direct the moral and spiritual up bringing of their children and you get to the area of sex, drugs, sniffing glue, marijuana, heroin, cocaine, you have oral sex, those are moral questio questions. that is a parental prerogative. >> ainsley: we have a statement from the principal, to be fair i want to read it from memorial middle school's principal, while the data from the surveys may be of value to the cdc, and may lead to additional revenue streams, which may ultimately prove to be a -- of great value to the community, i deeply regret the process has caused anxiety and/or harm. so, she's not saying they'll change the process here. is that what you are asking for? do you want to change the process? or are you asking for money? arlene? >> yes, what we're asking for is parental consent, to be instituted across the board for these surveys. and, what they do, is something called passive, which means if you don't submit the form back, that you give consent and, well, we know that these children do not give those slips to the parents. and... >> and we're adulting -- >> forgot stuff like that. what about your girls? i want to hear, what do your girls say about this? >> they were outraged and actually tried to exercise their rights. both children, 7th and 8th graders, went up to the teachers and told them they did not want to participate because they were totally against it and my 7th grader was told to sit down and take it and my 8th grader was told to see the guidance counselor and handed the test anyways to take it and both were coerced to taking this exam and the survey, against their will, because they already communicated that they didn't want to take it at all. and, the communications should have ended at, okay, you will not take it. instead, they were coerced into take it. and that is not a voluntary process, that is a mandatory process. >> ainsley: arlene and john, we hope you keep in touch with us and let us know what happens in the case, thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >> ainsley: next on the run down, breaking news out of arizona, and new mexico. as wildfires are growing more intense, by the hour. rick reichmuth has an update from the ground. and, ladies, do you like a guy who goes cheap on the first date? i think we can all answer that. no! does it make a difference? we'll share your e-mails and some of your tweets, coming up. we make meeting times, lunch times and conference times. but wha'd rather making are t times. tee times are the official start of what we love to do. the time for shots we'd rather forget, and the ones we'll talk about forever. in michigan long days, relaxing weather and more than 800 pristine coursesmake for the perct tee time. because ing able to play all day is pure michigan. your trip begins at michigan.org. >> we have a "fox news alert" for you right now, flames spreading from arizona now into new mexico. the gigantic wildfire is close to being the biggest in arizona's history. and, it is far from contained. >> ainsley: fox news chief meteorologist rick reichmuth is from arizona and he is there in his home state, to tell us more about the breaking news. >> rick: yes, you know, over 430,000 acres, burned now, and only a 5% containment, there's a lot of work that needs to be done, fire spreading into new mexico, and, firefighters have a big task on their hands, as the winds today and tomorrow will be up around 40 miles per hour. and that is a bit concerning and you talk about 430,000 acres, burning, and, it kind of makes a difference of what those 430,000 acres are. and i'm joined by the editor-in-chief of the magazine, called arizona highways and this is arizona's kind of beauty magazine, that -- shows the beauty of the state and the 430,000 acres that is on fire, tell me about that and what it is and we have pictures we'll be able to show the audience as well, from your magazine. >> as editor of the magazine, this is one of my favorite places in the state, the white mountains, the playground for people, especially those who live in the desert in the e summertime come up to the high country and get into the mountains and the woods and see the wildlife and go to the lakes and what is burning now is the heart of what is part of best, most beautiful spot in the st e state. >> rick: and along with that is tourism, people come and spend money on tourism and what will happen to the economy, northern and eastern arizona. >> that really concerns me. after the smoke clears, literally, you know, we don't want people to stay away from the neck of the woods and want people to know there will be reasons to come up here and we don't know what it will look like, but, you know, the worst thing that can happen is, people staying away, because, these small communities depend on the visitors that come up in the summertime. >> rick: the area is full of hikes. this is -- and arizona, if you don't know that is about hiking. people hike and backpack and get into the area and it is easy to get lost in a good way. you want to get away from people, it is a great place to come. what do you think will be lost in the? or do you think it will be lost. >> things will be different. we have a hiking book, that came out and a few hikes in the book that are in this area, so i'm anxious to see what is left of them. but, beyond that, there are system a lot of other places to hike up here, and, that is the beauty of arizona, there are a lot of wonderful spots and it is a good way to get away from the city life for a while. >> rick: and tell you, guys, a wait and see game to get in, and see exactly what happened and arizona high way, if you can pick it up, an amazing magazine, i grew up with it and they are still piped up in our house, as a lot of people do, i know. thanks for your time. we'll send it back to you in the studio. >> ainsley: how for your headlines, syrian forces are continuing their assault on anti-government protesters there. and fierce fighting under way, in a northern city, after syrian troops and tanks rolled in, and witnesses say at least two people are dead and dozens others arrested. the white house says syria is creating a humanitarian crisis by blocking international aid, shipped to thousands of syrian rev fees, who fled across the turkish border and environmental activists are ramping up efforts to stop north african fishermen from catching blue fin tuna. they are sending up helicopters to look for fishing boats in the waters off of libya and this comes after the two sides got into a heated confrontation and activists fired off stink bombs. whew! and shot water from fire hoses, as the fishermen threw metal chains at them. and the activists claim that blue fin tuna fishing is illegal. talk about hole in the plan, three massachusetts men facing armed robbery charges, after a botched dunkin doughnuts heist. police say the suspects robbed an employee at knife point, believing that she had a bag of cash, and turns out the bag was full of doughnuts and police caught up with the suspects after identifying them on surveillance video. i know, they ate the doughnuts! >> they didn't get the dough, though! >> whoa! >> ainsley: crazy crash, the famous 24 hours of le mans race in france, the scottish driver alec mcnish contacts the ferrari sending it smashing into the war and, it shatters, and hitting the people behind the barrier and remarkably he walked away, this driver without any injuries and no one in the crowd was injured, either. >> that was a rental, though, wasn't it? >> and he has lost the security deposit. >> we can joke because he walked away. >> in tv land well, have a question for you on the heels of the new survey, that has come out from a dating site and it is -- has to do with guys, and how much money they spend on the first date. and if you are like a lot of people out there, including myself you would like to get by as cheaply as possible. >> denver... >> don't go to denver. >> don't live there. $221 for a first date and you see the rest of the list, new york in the $140 range. so, we posed the question. how much are you willing to spend on a first date?

>> you know, he grew up in chicago, reverend wright, damn america and all of those things and here is somebody who said we are not a christian nation anymore and, ronald reagan said, if we forget we are one nation under god we'll truly be a nation gone under and i think barack obama is in fact -- has forgotten that and told israel he wanted to move them back to the 1967 borders, if you will, which are indefensible, to move them back to the 1967 borders, people forget. what does that include? what would happen, all the holy christian sites, church of the holy sepulcher where crist asce-- christ ascended into heaven would come under the rule of hamas and, israel allows every religion to worship in jerusalem and do you think hamas will allow christians to worship in the holy site they are in control of?
