And not enough on themselves. Bill stuart varney, host of Varney Company fox business network. Good morning to you. Take insid tell us what they say. Look deeply inside the food stamp program. 53 of the respondents think government makes it too easy to get food stamps. 57 think people are taking advantage of the food stamp program. There is overwhelmingly negative view of this particular form of handout, welfare entitlement. Bill a lot of people think there is abuse in this. 14 million more americans since 2009. Yep. Bill up more than a million in the last year alone . That is correct. And the government is still advertising to bring more people into the food stamp program. And by the way, bill, the cost of that program has gone up dramatically. 78 billiondollars per year as of now. Up 25 billion a year since 2009. Bill we found almost 3 4 of americans in the same polling dont think they have heard many new ideas from the president when it comes into the economy. This kind of folds into that, stuart. It does indeed. The president has been making a series, i will call them campaignstyle speeches largely on the economy the last couple weeks. 71 of the people polled in this fox news poll, 71 say they see nothing new in the president s economic policies in these speeches last couple weeks. Bill is it falling on deaf ears . Making a lot of trips and speeches trying to talk about jobs and the economy. No, the people polled are right. There isnt much new from the president on economy. Calling for more infrastructure spending, more education spending. No real change. It is back to the future on housing. One thing that is knew the president talked about in last couple weeks is a new tax on overseas profits of american corporations. Bill well see if that goes anywhere. Stuart, thank you, see you at 9 20 on fbn. Got it. Bill as of april, 47 1 2 Million People in america receive food stamps. That is million more than a year ago. 30 million more than the year 2,000. Majority, 53 say it is governments fault the feds made it too easy to get on welfare. Only 40 blaming the hard economic times. These eyeopening polls in connection with a new fox special that airs tomorrow night, 10 00 eastern time, fox news reporting, the great food stamp binge. Hosted by special reports bret baier. We have more on that problem a little later in our morning. Three minutes past. Jamie. Jamie a new twist in the courtmartial for suspected fort hood shooter major nidal hasan. The trial temporarily recessed when hasans standby defense lawyer because he said he wants to represent himself. He wants off this trial because hasan has quote, a death wish. That he is trying to get himself executed. Former Army Psychiatrist accused killing 13 people when he opened fire inside a army Processing Center in fort hood. That is where casey stiegel is. The trial is expected to resume today. Why do the lawyers want off the case and will they get it . Reporter well wait and see in about an hours time when this starts. Were minutes away from major hasansy rifing. Then all the media is asked to go inside. Its a blackout period because of security reasons. Theyre bringing him in at different times each day, fort hood on high alert because of this very highprofile trial. As it comes with the defense team, more like a reduced role. They dont want off the case entirely. Essentially a reduced role. Basically their argument before the court yesterday they believe major nidal hasan is not putting up any defense for himself, asserting that he actually wants the Death Penalty. They dont want to be part of that clearly as defense lawyers. That is suddenly why court was adjourned yesterday. Military law experts stunned by the latest revelation. Never seen anything like it. I think the judge is doing everything she can to protect the record in the case, to ensure that theres no basis for overturning whatever verdict there is. Reporter you know many consider this just one more setback to a very long, nearly four years since that shooting rampage on this army post, jamie. Jamie interesting, major hasan, i call him that, because he is still collecting a paycheck, is representing himself. Reporter he is. Jamie explain to folks why there is standby counsel. Reporter collecting a paycheck, more than 270,000, by the way since he allegedly carried out this shooting. Remember hasan fired his defense team and said he wanted to represent himself. Clearly he has the right to do so. He is not a lawyer. He is a Army Psychiatrist. He doesnt really know about the letter of the law, so the judge deemed those attorneys standby counsel. So they sit at the defense table with him. They help him file motions, walk him through procedural matters, courtmartial lingo. More of a consulting role really. They arguing that they cant in good conscience continue to assist if the accused murderer is not going to fight for his life, since this is a capital case, jamie. The courtmartial gets underway 10 00 eastern time. Started 45 minutes late yesterday. Only well wait to see what today will hold. Jamie casey, were glad youre there. Thank you very much. Reporter thanks. Bill getting hasan back and forth to the court house costing taxpayers money. Hasan is ferried back and forth to the court house every day. They make a 20mile trip, one of them, helicopters is used as a decoy. The price of that trip, 1600 every day per chopper. That doesnt include fuel and crew. Since hasan arrived at the jail in 2010, the army spent a 550,000 to house him there in texas. Jamie also been not only for taxpayers and the cost, but a long and difficult road to the start of this courtmartial. Nidal hasan was first charged with 13 counts of murder after that shooting rampage in november of 2009 and the following months attempted murder charges were tacked on top of that. In april of 2010 he was released from a Military Hospital in san antonio and transported to prison in texas. Finally arraigned in the summer of 2011. And after a lot of legal manueverring, it was finally decided that of the courtmartial would remain at fort hood where this crime happened on june 4th of this year, the judge ruled hasan can represent himself through all of this. Through all of that nidal hasan continues to receive his military paycheck as casey mentioned. Since the shooting he has been paid nearly 300,000. Bill got a fox news alert right now. The sunnies coming up in Southern California and this is the image you see live. A wildfire near the city of banning. It has been raging out of control. The flames are tearing away at that hill overlooking the city. Were told three people have been injured, two of them are firefighters and some terrified people telling us about the scene and the chaos that followed there. It was so smokey, you couldnt see a whole lot. We did see flames that, it came down here so fast, so fast. And then the of course the wind picks up and that makes it even worse. How are you doing . How are you holding up . Hearts pounding a mile a minute but like i said weve been through this before so you kind of, you know what to do. You know to pack your important papers, pack your pictures, and then we started loading up and we didnt, there was really nowhere to go. Bill shes not alone either. At least 15 homes have burned to the ground. Were told everyone has gotten out safely. Thats good news. The other thing you heard in the comment how the winds picked up. That is the worst thing for firefighters this time of year in that part of the country when the winds take those embers and blow them off in new areas. You dont want it. Jamie we worry about the firefighters. We have seen what can happen. Bill 6 00 on the west kos. Well see what strides they make putting out the fire. President personally intervened to make sure congress and all of their staffers got exemption to obamacare. Is that right . Washington to bend the rules you have to follow at home . Well debate that in a moment. Jamie so much for al qaeda on the run. Why one phone call picked you up by american intelligence testing white house narrative of a Terror Organization in retreat. Bill the video of the school bus violence. The questions this is raising and deafening silence among civil rights activists. Get somebody here, quick, quick, quick. Beat the boy to death. There is nothing i can do. Right now, 7 years of music is being streamed. A quarter million tweeters are tweeting. And 900 Million Dollars are changing hands online. Thats why hp built a new kind of server. One thats 80 smaller. Uses 89 less energy. And costs 77 less. Its called hp moonshot. And its giving the internet the room it needs to grow. This is gonna be big. Hp moonshot. Its time to build a better enterprise. Together. Jamie police in dallas are investigating a shooting spree that left four people dead, four others injured. The gunman going to two separate homes reportedly looking for his exgirlfriend. When he didnt find her he allegedly opened fire. That man is in custody in dallas. Police believe he may have only stop the shooting because he ran out of ammunition. Bill accusations of inappropriate behavior being launched again at the irs. First reports that the agency instructed its agents to cover up relationship it had with the Drug Enforcement agency, dea. It was right in the employee manual. Congress now investigating potential collusion between the irs and the federal election commission, the fec. The white house though repeatedly accused republicans of wasting time on what they consider fake scandals. With this endless parade of distractions and political posturing and phony scandals, washingtons taken its eye off the ball. And im here to say, this needs to stop. Some phony scandals that have captured the attention of many here in washington. You know, fake scandals, or things like that. We have to keep focused on the north star here, the issues that the American People want us to be focused on. Bill byron york, the north star right now, chief political correspondent, washington examiner. Fox news contributor. Good morning to you. Good morning to you, bill. Bill the connection between the irs and dea has been going on for years. Tell me why it is insidious, go. It appears we may have giant convergence for the scandals which makes it difficult for the president and white house to keep saying they are phony scandals. What we know about the irsdea thing right now, this taps on concerns about surveillance of americans. Dea has an intelligence operation. Lets say theyre looking into a drug operation of some sort. They share information with the irs which is not in itself bad because drug dealers often dont pay their taxes, but, what happens then is the irs covers up the source of the information. The defendants in this case never know it came from the dea dea intelligence operation. The irs concoct as phony trail of evidence to use in the prosecution. It really raises questions about Civil Liberties and concerns about that. Bill so, go delete in box, right, delete your deleted file. Create a new in box after that. Its a bad deal. Bill you say the defendant never knows the source of charges against him. That doesnt seem, right, does it . This is going on quite a while. This is not related. Interesting thing this is on a separate track from concerns about the irs targeting of conservative groups. This is something, in this case in the dea case that has been going on for quite a while. I think there are larger concerns about the Justice Department itself and in other prosecutions, not revealing the source of information used in criminal charges. Bill it may go to the whole nsa affair, who is watching what, what information theyre taking from you now and what could be taken in the future. Also the irs is dealing with this federal Elections Commission deal. It is also bill let me quote darrell issa here. On the screen for our viewers. Documents recently produced to the committee demonstrate the fec personnel communicated with irs personnel about taxexempt groups engaged in political activities. Raised the prospect of inappropriate coordination between the irs and the fec about taxexempt entities. Inappropriate coordination, byron. I think issa may have been being nice using word inappropriate t could be illegal. It could be illegal for the irs to share information about groups that had applied for taxexempt status and were not granted it. And then share that information with the fec. You know the irs has a lot of confidentiality requirements that bind it. And if it is sharing information about either individual taxpayers or about taxexempt organization it is cant share them with other parts of the government except under very controlled circumstances. If you have the irs and the fec sort of openly sharing information that is another source of concern in this whole thing. Bill go back to the original point, by the way, issa wants all the documents going back to 2008. Well see what they reveal in the end. When you put the dea story with the irs and the fec story with the irs, and the benghazi story that been picked up a little bit more by the Mainstream Media in recent weeks, what does that suggest overall about the theme from the administration that wants to declare all these scandals phony . Well it suggests it just wont fly. Youre right about benghazi. For months and months fox was kind of a lonely voice investigating what was going on in benghazi. Now it does seem that other media organizations realize there are serious and Unanswered Questions about what happened there but when you combine that with these irs revelations, it becomes very, very difficult for democrats to say as they have been saying for weeks now, nothing to see, lets move, nothing more to investigate. You remember the democratic head on the Issa Committee weeks ago said that the irs scandal had been solved. It was all over. Then the president himself said the scandals were phony. It just becomes harder to maintain that position with each new revelation. Bill byron york out of washington, thanks for coming in. Nice to see you. Thank you, bill. Bill 19 minutes past. Heres jamie. Jamie well tell you more about telling new poll numbers showing how americans really feel about the president. His disapprovals nearing alltime low. Actually the disapproval is up. Bret baier will weigh in. Strair us. Plus this. Tonights first number. We have 58, right after that, everybody, the number 5. Next number 25. Bill we have got three winners out there. We have three Winning Tickets over a massive 448 milliondollar jackpot. Which states have brand new multimillionaires this morning . I love it. Bill nfl season kicks off four weeks from today in fact. Were already getting predictions who we might see in the super bowl. Prediction machine. Com saying we will likely see the runnerup in last years game, the San Francisco 49ers, taking on the denver broncos. Peyton manning, mr. Football on your phone. Super bowl iv 8 will be played in new jersey, meadowlands on fox, on fox. It is on fox, folks. Pack your thermals. Might be chilly. It is on the fox big broadcast. All the other teams like jamie youre going to be there. I know youre going to be there. Bill sure. Jamie these folks might get to go too. Why . Because they are so rich. Three lucky people woke up after hitting last nights 448 million powerball jackpot. The Golden Ticket sold in new jersey. So close and minnesota. Take a look at the winning numbers. Here they are, folks, check your tickets. 5, 25, 30, 58, 59 and the powerball is 32. I also wonder if it was a quick pick or come up with those themselves. David lee miller live in our new york city newsroom with more. David, what do we know so far about the winners . Anybody claim it . Reporter we dont know a great deal at this time. None. Grand Prize Winners have come forward. It is possible, jamie they might not even be aware they have won. We know two of Winning Tickets were purchases as the mentioned in new jersey. One in a Grocery Store in South Brunswick. The third ticket was purchased in the state of minnesota. More details have not been released. Three winners will split a jackpot of 448 million. If you do the math that is a little more than 149 million per winner. And at some point if the winners want to claim their prize, their names will be made public. Both minnesota and new jersey do not allow lottery winners to remain anonymous. You know, jamie, pretty certain there are a lot of folks this morning that have one of these and are doing jamie im so sorry, david lee. Reporter there is some good news. They can try again later this week. Jamie you probably have another 100 or 99 at least to rip up for us. Well see you throughout the day. Maybe well learn more. What are the odds of actually winning this . Reporter the folks who run powerball say the chances of winning the grand prize are 1 in 175 million. But as we all know, despite little chance of winning, folks love the chance to play. According to one psychologist, some people simply buy tickets because, it seems everyone else is. Peer pressure is a big part of it. Imagine there are five or six people in an office pool. All you have to ante up is two bucks . H. Do you want to be the one who is saying no, im not going to waste my money. Reporter to paraphrase the bank robber Willie Sutton when asked why he robs banks . Thats where the money is. Thats why some people play powerball. Some people are losers. Someone bought a winning Million Dollar lottery ticket, same market in South Brunswick in new jersey where one of powerball tickets was sold and incredibly they never claimed the prize. In most states you have up to one year to cash in. So, if you think you bought a ticket at one of the locations we mentioned or in the state of minnesota, you might want to take a look and compare the ticket to the winnerring numbers. Jamie. Jamie im sure they did not come forward because it was just a million. Good point for them to check. Thanks, david lee. Keep playing. Bill is two smart. He puts his 2 in the bank. I tell you a little more about the odds. You are more likely to get struck by lightning, we hope that doesnt happen than win powerball. You might have guessed that one, odds of that 1 in 10,000. You have a better chance bamming astronaut. That is 1 in 13 million. Compare that to the 1 in 175 million chance winning powerball. Bill good luck out there, folks. Chances are you will buy a loser. I love the story when the winners come forward and carry the press conference and lives change in an instant and theyre happy. Jamie i could be very happy. They hear from relatives they never knew they had. Bill thats a fact. If the quote, core of al qaeda has really been diminished, why is a worldwide terror alert is still in effect . We put that question. John bolton, the ambassador, is on deck on that. Jamie one of the 19 elite firefighters who died in a massive firefighter in arizona, why andrew ashcrafts family is facing a whole new bet he will battle in spite of that incredible sacrifice. City officials make it sound like we will be there at the beginning. They start to say, we will be taken care of. Now they have not only stopped saying those things but they made it very contentious. They have been rude. They made nasty comments. They have been uncompassionate and unprofessional. Im beth. And im michelle. And we own the paper cottage. Its a stationery and gifts store. Anything we purchase for the paper cottage goes on our ink card. So you can manage your business expenses and access them online instantly with the Game Changing app from ink.

Sweet and salty nut bars by nature valley. Nature at its most delicious. Jamie welcome back. President obamas repeating what seems to be a white house talking point saying the core of al qaeda has been decimated. Thats a claim often repeated recently by the president and other members of the administration. Today the core of al qaeda in afghanistan and pakistan is on the path to defeat. Their remaining operatives spend more time thinking about their own safety than plotting against us. We point to the successes and the president pointed to the successes including the decimation of the core of al qaeda in afghanistan and pakistan. Jamie john bolton, former u. S. Ambassador to the united nations. You know him well, a Fox News Contributor and great to have you here in studio, ambassador, thank you for coming in. Do you share the opinion that not only has al qaeda not been decimated, but they have actually morphed and metastasized . They have taken some hits, there is no doubt about it since the original 9 11 but i can seewe can see from the terror alert were experiencing right now that their influence mass grown. It has ebbed and flowed over the years and so has their structure changed over the years. Not like a Corporate Organization chart you pin up on the wall. Therefore i think what the administration has done over the years to try to define and narrow what al qaeda is to this little sliver along the afghanpakistan border. Up until the past few weeks that is what they called al qaeda. Reality has intruded. They call it core al qaeda but it only has been a piece. Jamie they have all the same mission. To kill americans. Kill our interests overseas. The president went further than claiming multiple times that al qaeda has been at its core decimated. He has also said that he is going to stick with his plan to go to guantanamo, open it up, on a casebycase basis send these prisoners home. We already saw the prison breaks at the start of this overseas that al qaeda terrorists bit hundreds are out and about right now. Right. On august the 1st, the president met with the Prime Minister of yemen and announced there would be more returns from gitmo to yemen. That yemen was doing a great job on terrorism. Later that day and next day we had to announce this massive terror alert. It is part of the administrations storyline there is no war on terror, if it was one it is essentially over because al qaeda is on the road to defeat so they can treat terror as a Law Enforcement matter, rather than the global war that were actually in. This is part of a vastly incorrect world view that has limited our ability to defend ourselves. It is one of the reasons why faced with a Terror Threat, our only response is closing embassies. Jamie theres a lot of concern about our country looking weak in the face of terror. And the president hasnt addressed the nation on this. Is that a mistake . Well i think hes not concerned about america being weak. I think manifestation weve seen in the past couple days is of a much larger philosophy which is that its americas strength, americas presence, americas assertiveness, americas overwhelming capabilities that provokes others like al qaeda terrorists to attack us. Therefore, in that view the president s view, if america is weaker, the world will be safer. I think it is the exact opposite. I think a Strong America keeps us and the world safe. Jamie at the same time, a lot of my Homeland Security sources cant comment on drones, whether or not theyre even as a program but you can tell us. Is the president signing off to allow enough drones to go in and weed out some of the bad guys . Well weve seen again just in the past few days drone strikes in yemen. I think drones are a wonderful thing. I think it spares american pilots the risks of being shot down over enemy territory. I, whether you use drones against targets or try to capture them from interrogation i think is a matter you look at casebycase but anybody who thinks drones are somehow the wrong form of warfare to use against terrorists misunderstands their capabilities. Jamie so mama always said if you have nothing helpful to say dont say anything. The president has come out again and again now, as has other officials of the government that there isnt a strung enough al qaeda to make a dent on us. What are the implications overseas as the United States is viewed, given the fact that he has taken this position so strongly . Our adversaries and our friend alike look at a weak, declining, uninterested america and make their own calculations. Our adversaries step up. Their pressures on us and our allies look for some other way to protect themselves if they cant count on the United States. The most visible piece of evidence is even beyond the president s own rhetoric, the inability in 11 months to do anything meaningful to respond to the killing of ambassador Christopher Stevens in benghazi. Im glad there is sealed indictment. It fundamentally doesnt mean a thing. There is nobody in custody. The fact of the indictment is another piece of evidence about the president s Law Enforcement view of the terrorist threat, rather than treating it as an act of war. Jamie better not to comment at all, like what youre saying. Right. Jamie ambassador, thanks so much for joining us. I will see you again sunday morning. Okay, jamie. See you then. Bill thank you, jamie. 23 before the hour. The widow of one of the 19 firefighters killed in an arizona wildfire is being denied lifetime benefits by the city of prescott, arizona. Now she ipeaking out about that. The fact i have four small children and i have to find a way to provide for them, because my husband giving the ultimate sacrifice in the citys eyes wasnt enough to seal the deal that well be given health benefits. Well be given his salary moving forward to we can create a live for our kids we put together for them. Its sad that i have to even stand here today and fight for what my husband already earned. It is sad that theres 12 other families that arent being given what their, their brother or their husband or their spouse earned. It is a terrible tragedy and the bigger tragedy is in the fact that the people that can make it right arent making it right. Bill well, left with four Young Children as she mentioned there. Juliann ashcrat planned to use her husbands lifetime salaries and Health Packages to support her family. The city claims her husband was seasonal employee, therefore his family is not entitled to the benefits. As its hands tied. Were delivering everything we can to these families that is available but to, equalize or change somebodys employment classification after the event is simply impossible and illegal. Bill the ashcrafts are one of 13 hotshot families being denied lifetime benefits by the city based on work being seasonal. Your heart goes out to her. A woman who is left now to raise her four children. I get the sense she will not give up easily on this. Jamie do you nomos of the firefighters i know do have second jobs. They have to, financially to support their families. So, if theyre considered parttime at 40 hours, thats really sad. Hopefully folks will come out and help. It doesnt hurt to have friends in high places. Even lawmakers in washington find it pretty helpful. The president stepping in to give folks on capitol hill, an exemption from obamacare the kind of break you will not get. Honey, we need to talk. We do . I took the trash out. I know. And thank you so much for that. I think we should get a Medicare Supplement insurance plan. Right now . [ male announcer ] whether youre new to medicare or not, you may know it only covers about 80 of your part b medical expenses. Its up to you to pay the difference.

[ male announcer ] dont wait. Call today to request your free decision guide and find the aarp Medicare Supplement plan to go the distance with you. Go long. Bill if you do not like the rules, change them. Were learning the president himself personally intervened to make sure members of congress and their staffers will not have to live with obamacare. This after democrats on the hill gave the president an earful. Doug schoen, former advisor to president bill clinton. Monica crowley, radio talk show host. Both are Fox News Contributors. You dont like the rules, just change the rules. Over and over, and over again, monica. Heres another, heres another example. This is so outrageous. Essentially what members of congress are telling the American People, let them eat cake. We passed this law. It is highly unpopular. Vast majority of the American People want this thing repealed, either in whole or in part. They dont like it and yet were going to be stuck be subjected to the rules that Members Congress passed. Now theyre exempting themselves, with help from the president of the United States, whose signature legislation this is, theyre exempting themselves. This is like the winds of a dictatorship, where the elite leaders decide what parts of laws they like, what parts of laws they dont like, what they themselves will be subjected to while the rest of us little minions abide by the law. Bill despite chuck grassley, republican senator, had an amendment written into law, members of congress have to live with the law if they pass it. That has been trumped, doug. Thats true, but to be fair, both democrats like the president , democratic leadership, bill, but also republicans in bill im not taking pubs out of the argument. Doug, you have to find out how many members of congress will reject this and do it publicly. Bill, only got 10 fingers. I dont think it will be that many. Bill fewer than 10. Thats right. Really a sign of what monica is talking about, bill, it is an elite political class, acting against interest of the vast majority of the American People who cant alter laws like employer mandate when they dont like it. So is really sad and bad for our democracy. Bill monica, you were saying. I will give you one republican who is standing up fighting against this. So far i havent heard anything from chuck grassley, as you mentioned put the explicit bill we reached out to him. Apparently on vacation. Were still working on it. Clear just to get his reaction on it. One republican member of the senate, david vitter, from louisiana, coming out on the record saying congress should not being exempt. At least one is fighting for this. Rest of the republicans i know theyre in recess, where are they on this issue . Points to a bigger problem, bill and doug. Doug may agree of me on this. The most destructive division in the United States is not between republicans and democrats or conservative and liberals. It is between the ruling elites and the rest of us. Between the ruling elite and regular folks. Because the rest of us are getting screwed every day. Exactly. Bill people are losing faith in the institution of government and this is a case in point. If you like your insurance you can keep your insurance, unless youre a member about congress and you can do whatever you want, doug. That is absolutely the case and monica couldnt be more correct. Bottom line, the average working american is struggling. He or she doesnt have a chance to opt out of laws to get special exemptions. And thats why resentment against congress is so strong, is the American People understand correctly, that theres one set of rules for elites, for members of congress, of both parties, another set of rules for the American People and the American People get the short stick. Bill interrupt you, doug, i apologize for that. Viewers five headlines past six months that go to the issue of obamacare. Ready. Reuters, obamacare months behind in testing the i. T. Data security. Wall street journal now. July 14th. More restaurants replace fulltimers concerned about insurance. Associated press in may. Like your Health Care Policy . You may be losing it. L. A. Times, may 2nd, parttimers to lose pay amid health acts new math. The hill, april 17th. Baucus warns, senator as max baucus of huge train wreck enacting obamacare provisions. That headline, monica, is what has really started to draw the attention to this law and its implementation in october. As we get closer and closer to what we presume will be relatively full implementation, october 1st, then the bulk of the bill kick in on january 1st, most American People are paying closer attention to what it means for them personally, to their families, to their Small Business and they are outraged by the fact that their premiums are starting to increase, higher taxes will hit them. Medicare will be gutted to pay for this thing. As reality starts to set in, bill, even democrats like max baucus, jay rockefeller, who helped to write the bill are saying holy cow, this is a huge train wreck. We cant i amly meant this. Most of the American People are honing in on this, we dont want this thing, members of congress in arbitrary way are saying, it is your problem, not ours. Bill like the oligarchs. Unbelievable. Bill crazy, doug give you the last word. Go. And to me, weve got the Health Exchanges going into effect in the next moment or two. Apparently from what i read theres vast chaos there. Im seeing, as a Small Businessman in new york, my premiums are already going up double digits. Employees are seeing their costs going up. Bottom line, monica couldnt be more correct. This is a law that needs to be revised. It needs to be repealed. This isnt partisan. This is just right and wrong, bill. Bill back to the original point, well see how many members of congress reject the latest he had it. Right on. Bill doug, enjoy arizona. Hemmer foxnews. Com is the email.

Got to get somebody here, quick, quick, quick. There about to beat this boy to death. Leave that boy alone leave him alone leave him alone you know yall going to jail. Yall going to jail. Jamie in fact, all three teens were arrested. Phil keating live in miami with more. Wow, phil. Those kids were so out of line. The bus driver, i dont know if he did everything he could, but, was race a factor in that violent assault . I understand the victim was white. Yeah the victims white. All three of a sail ants are africanamerican. Based on the evidence, race was not a factor a single bit here. That is according to the investigators, the police chief and the state Attorneys Office. The three alleged assailants. Joshua redden, julia mcnight, are charged with aggravated battery. Redden charged with unarmed robbery, stealing victim 5 from his sock after he lied on the school bus floor after he was punched sixed and stomped 50 times in 60 seconds. Victim reported two of the suspects to a teacher during the school day for allegedly trying to sell him pot in the school bathroom. Suspects found out, later on the business attacked the socalled snitch. The race difference between the victim and the defendants in this case is purely coincidental. There is absolutely no indication that race was a motivator in the attack. The motive was retaliation. Reporter now the bus driver has since retired and he has not being charged by the state Attorneys Office because the district policy on what a bus driver should do is, somewhat ambiguous in in a situation like this, jamie. Jamie those cameras come in so handy on school buses. Im so concerned. How is the 13yearold victim doing . Reporter according to gulfport, florida, police chief south of st. Pete pete. He is recovering quite well. The beating happened a month ago, july 9th. The victim sat behindriver on tg apparently that would be a safe spot from the boys in the back of the bus. But he was wrong. And, it is worth noting none of other kids intervened as well. Many also moved forward in the bus with cell phones to record the assault. Now, the victim suffer ad fractured wrist and two black eyes at the time. So, the three suspects by the way, they will be in Juvenile Court in st. Petersburg tuesday morning, 9 00 a. M. Jamie.

It is spreading so fast. Some people forced back inside of their homes after they were almost trapped by the flames and trying to evacuate. That order has gone out for so many. Welcome back to brand new hour here of americas newsroom. Im bill hemmer. Jamie i will say good morning, bill. It is a brand new hour. Glad to have you all with us. Im jamie colby in for martha maccallum. The folks in the midst of that fire apparently moved to safety. Hundreds of firefighters are battling it. It facesmoving silver fire theyre already calling it. It has burned nine square miles since yesterday. 6,000acres burned, three people hurt. 15 structures torched. Folks on the ground say gusty winds, they sure arent helping. We had no place to go. We tried to find someplace safe. We saw several plumes of smoke and then you hear the propane tanks going and then you hear ammunition going. So i dont know if it was just one house that was lost back there or not. It is adrenaline and nerves. Then im still hoping that our house is okay. That it has gone at least past it and that which can go home tonight. Jamie a lot of hope and a lot of prayers. Dominic dinatale live in banning, california. It has been a busy fire season, dominic. Anything different about this wing and do they know what caused it . Reporter they dont know what caused it but the sheer speed this fire started and moved. It began 2 00 p. M. Yesterday afternoon. By 10 00 last night we had 6,000acres consumed. You see one of the fronts. It moved a couple hundred yards in a matter of minutes since we got here. The front is now eight miles long. Fire crews dont know exactly how big the fire gained overnight. We do know it is 30 contained. Fire crews are struggling with that. The fire is split into two fronts. Got to the top of the ridge. Getting closer as it moves into the san jacinto mountains, threatening the community in the city of banning. Vista grand. Twin peaks, Silent Valley and cabizone. That will really be the focal point today. It cut off routes for people including highway 243. The only paveed routes for many. People were in the mid definitely those fire fronts. They went out to the highway and werent able to get out in either direction because there was fire on both side. So they could not get down the hill into hemet or down this side. So it was a very challenging time. Reporter jamie, adding 1500 people at risk today. Jamie the folks that were hurt, dominic, do you know how theyre doing . Reporter we know one is actually in terrible condition. One civilian is described having horrific burns from head to toe. And theyre at a local burns unit at a local hospital. We have two fire crew have been injured. We believe that is due to fire inhalation. But the issue today, is keeping people safe. As winds change and move this fire, fire crews are trying to get everybody out. That is the priority. Human safety. Back to you, jamie. Jamie dominic, you stay safe as well. Thank you. Bill about a thousand firefighters are battling this blaze alone. So far 6500acres have burned. 15 homes have been destroyed along the way and 1500 people have been forced to get out of town. Back in 2006, a fire in the same area killed five u. S. Forest service firefighters, working that fire then. Jamie dangerous business. Were also going to bring you an extreme weather alert. It is out of missouri. A state of emergency has been declared after an Early Morning storm made for some dangerous flash floods and they had evacuations as well after some sixinches of rain fell across the southwestern part of that state in just a matter of hours. Officials say things got so bad they actually had to open the floodgates on a nearby dam that are usually closed this time of year. The rain unfortunately expected to continue. Bill another fox news alert now. We have new polling numbers this morning reveal a majority of americans are not impressed what theyre seeing in the white house or on capitol hill. Shocker. Start with the president. One in two voters telling fox news they disapprove of the president s job performance. That number jumping this month to 52 . That ties an alltime high for them. Bret baier, anchor of special report. Good morning to you. Bill what is the drag . Is it economic or more than that . I think a number about things are drag on the president s approval ratings. Number one is the economy overall. The sense that it is not really chugging the way it should and, second is all of the focus on all of these different scandals in washington. While the white house an others have called them phony scandals they have resonated with people according to the polls. You know this 52 matches the highest disapproval back to september of 2010. You will remember, september 2010 was just a couple months before a big loss in that midterm and republicans picked up the house. Bill tea party rallies everywhere. A the lo of people coming out against obamacare. That was the time, right . It was and youre in that time now where lawmakers are heading back. Theyre going back to these town halls. Youre getting ready for the implementation of obamacare and there is a lot of questions out there when you talk to people around the country what all this means. Bill you wonder what they will hear from constituents. Look at the other poll we found. We asked people whether or not congress key serves a vacation, theyre on vacation because of august recess, 82 in polling say no, forget bit. The president was better, but he was still split 48 h 48. Historically the americans cut president a break. You deserve sometime off. Get away from the office. Get refreshed and recharged. This is split right down the middle. The numbers for congress are just awful. Theres a sense that this place is not working. That washington is not getting it done. Republicans, democrats, the white house, congress, theyre not working together. 63 of the people polled in this poll think the president should lock himself in a room with republicans and negotiate in d. C. Instead of traveling around giving speeches. One more thing about the speeches. 71 think that the president s economic speeches, and there have been two big ones in the past two weeks, illinois and tennessee. 71 think it is more of the same and not new ideas. It is important to recognize in these polls we always ask, how do you identify yourself. In this particular poll 38 said they were democrats. 37 said they were republicans, 23 said they were independents. Bill wow, i mean that crosses all three categories then. Youre at 71 . How would the white house defend itself on the traveling economic road show of speeches . Well, i think they have said that the president is trying to get out and talk about things that he has been talking about, but in an effort to remind people that this is where his main focus is. That said, there really arent a list of new ideas and, judging by these polls, people just want stuff to get done. Dont really want to talk about it. Bill Corporate Tax idea that was floated out there, that didnt go very far, did it. Not far at all. Bill big bouncing lead balloon. Thats right. Bill check out bret later tonight. 6 00 eastern time own hely here on the fox news channel. Special report monday through friday. Thank you, bret. Jamie fox news alert on Terror Threat in the middle east. Another u. S. Drone strike has taken out several targets in yemen. The attack killed at least six suspected militants in the central part the country. Yemen is on high alert after u. S. Intelligence uncovered plans of a possible al qaeda attack on foreign embassies eminating from there potentially. The u. S. Carried out six drone strikes over the last 10 days, killing 29 suspects terrorists. Bill we had a report yes, i did that a drone took out eight suspected terrorists. There is so much activity happening in and around the country. Jennifer griffin reported about the marines. Jamie moving in. Bill the expeditionary unit on the ship. 1400 marines floating out there off the coast. Jamie ambassador bolton told us last hour the drones are the way. Bill watch yemen right now. It is at the heart of all of it. The trial of the fort hood shooting suspect underway this morning. After the his courtappointed lawyer that hasan is quote, or has a, death wish. Could that be a game changer . Well tell you. Jamie rising tensions between former cold war enemies. A meeting between president obama and president putin, canceled. What it means for the future of the u. S. Russia relationship. Bill also, jamie, a tornado touching down in the heartland. Check out this video. Stunning images that you will see, next. When i actually saw the tornado go down. I was five or six miles south. I saw it go down and debris come back up. I have a new appreciation for mother nature. It does some weird things. [ female announcer ] the best thing about this bar its not a candy bar. 130 calories 7 grams of protein the fiber one caramel nut protein bar. Bill we have severe. A tornado. Witnesses saw it approaching. They were able to take cover and talked about it this way. Freaking out. And i was like, froze with fear after it. Over in the distance, about 500 yards a way i saw a tree laid over. Oh, wow. Time to go to the basement. Bill get down there. Were told the twister did not sticks around for long but managed to rip the roof of a farmhouse and snap several trees. Jamie well the courtmartial of accused fort hood shooter nidal hasan is set to resume. Yesterday the military judge halted the proceedings, after hasans courtappointed attorney said, it is quote, clear hasans goal is to remove impediments or obstacles to the Death Penalty and is working toward a Death Penalty. We have a judge advocate general. You know it as jag. He is a professor of law at the u. S. Coast academy. Were so happy to have you hear, captain. Thank you. Great to be here, jamie. Thanks for having me. Jamie there are so many twist and turns in this case, not only for the judge and this decision but for the victims and families. At this point why is it that the lawyers would even have the right to ask to step aside . Theyre not really representing nidal hasan. Theyre just there for backup or counsel . Thats correct. In military justice you are, have the benefit of having an assigned defense counsel work for you. In this case, hasan has fired two previous counsel. Now in order to assure fairness and justice is achieve, colonel osborne has three defense counsel assigned to assist. They have a limited role, jags are like regular lawyers, they have ethical obligations. They said we cant do this ethical obligations. We san do this because we have to zealously defend our client. He wants the Death Penalty. So they asked to be removed from the case. Jamie caught everyone by surprise. Halt proceedings today. Theyre back in court. This just breaking that the Associated Press reporting that the fort hood shooting suspect. Major nidal hasan can represent himself in this capital murder case and stand bilawyers can not take over. So they didnt get their request. Saying that they will now have to remain in this capacity even though what he said he wants is death. Thats correct. He has the right to actually represent himself, pro say like any other proceeding. It is odd. It made it very difficult for the families as you mentioned, jamie and victims sit and listen to hymn and have him crossexamine him. That is the oddity. He may not be the pest person to represent himself. He may grandstand. He may espouse jihad but he has the right to represent himself in courtmartial proceeding and sounds like the rule came down that way. Jamie we can probably count on that, grandstanding. No question. Jamie he said he started with the wrong side. Meaning as an officer in the military and had crossed over to the right side in his 2 minute or 45 second i think opening statement. Let me ask you this, captain. Im only familiar with civil law and having done trials in civil court. Sure. Jamie it is very different the rules, and what i dont understand, hes a psychiatrist. Right. Jamie my thought is if he proceeds pro se or representing himself could he later in military court claim he had ineffective use of counsel . Because we know the appeals, these, even if hes given the Death Penalty, in military tribunals these courtmartials they dont stick. The appeals have been so overwhelmingly successful, havent they . Thats correct. There is no question, jamie. We have 16 capital cases have been found to actually find a person guilty and sentenced to death over the last 50 years. 11 of those have been overturned. Five that are remaining are on death row, waiting their actual execution which seems to be not ever happening in the near future. So the last actual execution occurred in 1961, jamie. So that really gives us a flavor, for, yes, the appeal process works in the military. Is his pro se counsel representation assure he will be successful on appeal . There is more room for mistake, more room for error, more room for errors in the record of trial as it goes to appeal. I agree with you. I think theres no question it will benefit him in the long run, even if he wants to assure he is executed to be a martyr, the strange greatness of our system he probably wont be allowed to in the future. That is kind of the great thing about American Military justice. Jamie what do you think the military thinks about all of this . He made it so long in his career. Worked at walter reed and other institutions. He had a record of being certainly disgruntled with our intervention in iraq and afghanistan. What do you think they are thinking or rethinking at this point . Well, certainly you have to make, take steps, affirmative steps if you see this sort of disillusionment and discontent or isolation from the rest of the troops. I mean the troops are there together. The great thing about the military is military cohesion and unit cohesiveness, if you have somebody removed like hasan, somebody has to pick up on that. The great irony of this, jamie, he is a psychiatrist. When we see somebody normally isolated or removed, what you do in the military send them to the chaplain or psychiatrist for counseling to get a little bit of help and find out whats going on. In this case we had a bad apple. The person is supposed to be helping our troops was turning against our troops. His conduct as you nighted earlier is outrageous. Saying he is embarrassed and apologizes to allah for serving alongside u. S. Armed forces. Unthinkable for the families of the victims and everyone that is based at fort hood which is tightknit, wonderful family. Captain, great to meet you. We appreciate your insight as we watch these developments this hour. Take care. Thank you, jamie. Jamie bill . Bill 19 past and still no sign of two children taken from their home. As we now get new information on the suspected kidnapper and murderer. The father of the missing made a Public Appeal just this morning here on the fox news channel.

Swastikas and racist epithets on a statue of baseball great Jackie Robinson and peewee reese. That stands outside the Brooklyn Cyclones Minor League stadium. People couldnt believe what they were seeing. We felt it was important to come out here and actually see it and show our support for what these two brave men did back in 1947. What happened here was reprehensible. Whoever did this if theyre caught, should be, should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of law. Jamie betcha they catch him. Police are investigating the incident as a hate crime. Bill there are disturbing new details in the search for two missing children. As the manhunt for a suspected kidnapper and murderer grows by the hour. Oregon and washington state, issuing amber alerts for ethan and hannah anderson, for a possible sighting in the suspects car. There are reports that the suspect seen here, previously told the girl that he had a crush on her. Will carr is on the story, live in l. A. This morning. What can we report today, will . Hello. Reporter well, bill, police say tips are flooding in from all across the country, so far james dimaggio, he is still on the run. Police maintain he is with 16yearold hannah anderson. Think believe he killed their mom and possibly her 8yearold brother ethan when he set his house on fire in san diego on sunday. Theyre awaiting dna results before they possibly i. D. Ethan as being in the fire. For motive it is unclear. A friend of hannah said dimaggio said he was attracted to hannah. The friend said that creeped her out. The Oregon State Police along with several other states issued an amber alert to be on lookout for the blue 2013 nissan versa. That is car Police Continue to say dimaggio may be driving in. Ely the car was spotted by a driver in Northern California yesterday and was headed north. But so far, no confirmed sightings by authorities of dimaggio or hannah, bill. Bill the father has shown a lot of strength trying to make the story public too. What more are we learn about the suspect, will . Reporter we know so far friends and family are completely baffled by this they would never expect this type of behavior from dimaggio. His sister told a local paper he served in the navy four years. He came home from the navy because he had to take care of his mom when she was dieing of canner. Even hannahs father said dimaggio was one of his closest friends. Which have done many things together over the years. Hes constantly been around my family and seen my children grow up of, from the day hannah, six months before hannah was born, we became trends. Friend. Reporter in fact hannahs dad said he asked for dimaggio to take care of his family when he had to move across the country. Now he is pleading for dimaggio to do the right thing, turn himself in and let hannah return home safely. Bill. Bill lets hope for the best in the end. Thank you, from l. A. Jamie. Jamie the relationship is already tense. Now it has gotten a little more awkward. President obama canceled a meeting with russian president Vladmir Putin but who is actually snubbing who . Bill about 75 of you believe that americans are too dependent on the government. A closer look this morning at our nations food stamps program. And the effort to get even more people leaning on uncle sam. Well explain all that. The great outdoors. And a great deal. Thanks to dad. Nope eeeeh. Oh, guys lets leave the deals to hotels. Com. Ooh that one nice. Got it oh my gosh this is so cool. Awesome perfect yep, and no angry bears. The Perfect Place is on sale now. Up to 40 off. Only at hotels. Com jamie growing concerns over the implementation of obamacare as we learn the feds have fallen months behind on testing the security of a massive online data hub that is designed to connect insurance exchanges with government agencies. Mike emanuels taking a look at that for us, joining us live from washington to explain. Mike, good morning. Reporter good morning, jamie. So the Inspector General for the department of health and Human Services is sounding the alarm. He says, quote if there are additional delays in completing the security authorization package, the cms, centers for medicare and Medicaid Services cio may not have a full assessment of system risks and security controls needed for the security authorization decision by the initial opening Enrollment Period expected to begin on october 1, 2013. And the security component and a rush to finish is concerning pennsylvania congressman Patrick Meehan who says, quote this data hub is a hackers dream. In the rush to meet arbitrary deadlines, im concerned that corners will be cut and mistakes will be made, the alarms are sounding. The data hub will gather and share information from seven different government agencies. States will also have access to the data and contribute information. Jamie so the question, mike, is what response have we gotten from those involved with setting up this aspect of obamacare . Reporter well, the centers for medicare and medicaid says, quote cms has extensive experience building and operating Technology Systems that handle sensitive data. This experience comes from many years administering the medicare, medicaid and chip programs. One analyst we talked to predicts they will gdone. You know, cms has some of the smartest data geeks on, in the country working on it. Furiously. And, i mean, every indication is that theyre going to be ready to go october 1 nationwide. And i havent seen anything really convincing, concrete that says thats not going to happen. Reporter there will be a lot of private, personal information in there, and security must be tight. Jamie . Jamie agreed. Thanks, mike, so much. Good to see you. Bill quickly, there is a diplomatic riff growing between the United States and russia. President obama has canceled a meeting in moscow next month with president vladimir putin, this a week after putin granted ed snowden asylum in that country for at least a year. Peter brooks, former cia officer and a senior fellow at the heritage foundation. Peter, good morning to you. Good morning, bill. Bill i dont know if he could have held this meeting. It would have been an embarrassment. Yeah. Bill but youre of the view that putin doesnt care . What do you mean . I dont think putin does care. The fact is putin skipped the g8 last year here in the United States after he became president. In fact, president obama moved the meeting from chicago to camp david to accommodate putin, and he didnt show up. And then you remember the horrible meeting they had at the g8 this year in germany just a month or two ago where they were about syria, and putin said some things publicly that embarrassed obama a bit. The snowden affair and then, of course, this now. So it was important that the president showed some pique, our president showed some pique and showed some spine in standing up to russia considering everything theyve done to improve the relationship. Bill right, right. And we heard from the white house yesterday it was a unanimous vote, you cannot meet with him. Right. Bill however, the president talks about the cold war mentality that he believes putin falls back into. This from 2009, Hillary Clinton and sergei lavarov. We want to reset our relationship [inaudible] we worked hard to get the right russian word. Do you think we got it . You get it wrong. I got it wrong. [laughter] it should be [speaking in native tongue] and this says [inaudible] which means [inaudible] [laughter] well, we wont let you do that to us, i promise. Bill embarrassing. And i think thats what the laughter was from the secretary of state at that point. Howd that work out . Well, itd be funny if it werent so serious. Can we finally say that the Obama Administrations russia policy has gone from reset to regret . I mean, its been a mess. We did so many things, the Obama Administration did so many things to try to get russia to cooperate with us, the new strategic arms reduction treaty, the World Trade Organization entry, i mean, theres just so many things, that Missile Defense, remember, the president canceled the bushera Missile Defense programs in poland that was aimed at irans burgeoning icbm and Nuclear Program . Hes done so many thing, and the russians have snubbed us. Its about time they become sober about the difficulties in this relationship. Bill these are some of the headlines we found earlier today, and some of them are quite telling. Washington post, obamas putin snub. We found another one from bloomberg, i mean, its easy to find, obama snubs putin inside of tensions in u. S. russian ties. Snub might not be the word of choice because it was putin who stuck it in our eye first. Sure, absolutely. And president obamas probably tying to be diplomatic about putin slipping back into the cold war mentality, putins never left it. In the former kgb colonel has never gotten over that the United States and the free world triumphed over the soviet union. Hes delighting in seeing the relative weakness of the United States under the Obama Administration on the world stage. There are sections of Russian Society that really like to see the decline or relative decline of the United States. And while in the United States declines, russias standing in the world increases. Putin is doing this for theater and drama as well to benefit his image in russia and abroad. Bill think about how they could help us in syria, how they could help us with iran. Sure, absolutely. Bill this from a year and a half ago, ma of 2012, remember . March of 2012, remember . After my election, i have more flexibility. Bill assume the transition happened. The president still going to st. Petersburg, sew will still be in so he will still be in russia. He will have a meeting with vladimir putin, and there will be a picture, and everybody will chill out for a while. Do you expect that, yes or no . Its an important economic meeting. Theyre going to be at the same place, putin is the host. Itll probably be awkward. Look, the personal relationship is in terrible shape. The relationship is going to remain frosty, but there are important issues we need to cooperate on. For instance, bill, afghanistan. Were still supplying into afghanistan through russia and American Equipment where our withdrawal is coming out of russia because pakistan so dangerous. Syria, theres a lot of things these two major powers need to cooperate on for our mutual interests. The challenge is for this administration to appropriately manage the relationship. Bill and do not underestimate how important this relationship is too. Peter, thank you. Peter brooks, with insight there from washington. Thank you. Jamie still some more news on the courtmartial of major nidal hasan just in to fox news. We told you that the judge said the lawyers who are representing him as standby counsel because hes decided to represent himself could not get a motion they filed that would allow them to take over that representation because they believe that nidal hasan is doing everything he can to remove the obstacles to allow him to receive the Death Penalty. Ethical obligations of attorneys heightened in criminal cases in the military by these jag officers have now led to this, that the lawyers have asked that they be removed because if theyre not, they would be violating ethical rules that really apply to all lawyers, but in this particular case, bill, these attorneys are held to a very high standard, and they want off. They dont want to break the rules. Bill this is day four in this trial, too, it may go for months. And there have been headlines just about every hour. More coming up on this shortly. In the meantime, theres ununbelievable test in a decadesold kidnapping matter as one family learns that the child they thought had been returned to them by police in the end was not their son. Jamie its incredible. Hes 49 now. And one Nonprofit Agency is getting a surprise of its own after some suspected burglars apparently suffer a major change of heart. There was a shopping cart, and it was full of our towers, our pcs. Its like i have never seen anything like this in my 20 years. [ woman ] my doctor wanted me to get one of those emergency pendants.

Bill okay, so this during the break, this is what were getting from our producer inside the courtroom while this courtmartial continues. Theres been a big argument between the standby counsel, the standby lawyers for nidal hasan and the judge. The lawyers are filing a writ of issue saying that the judges denial of their motion violates the rules of professional conduct saying it would be, quote morally repugnant to help nidal hasan achieve a death sentence which is what they believe hes after. The counsel asked for a stay. The judge seemed very annoyed and aggravated by it. The courts now in a recess. But if that stay is granted, the courtmartial would stop and likely be delayed for weeks, if not months. Well let you know what happens moments away in fort hood. Muck i muck. Jamie some Surprising New evidence that the fbi has reopened, its led them to a decadesold kidnapping test. The family that believed their son had been returned to them after going missing in a chicago hospital actually, it turns out they raised someone elses child. Dan shore is a former prosecutor, steve cardigan is a former new york city chief investigator, former new York Police Sergeant and director of defenduniversity. Com. Gentlemen, welcome. Let me start with you, dan, first to explain to folk a folks a little more in depth. A missing baby, and there actually was a picture after birth, put out the apb, they probably didnt have amber alerts then, and 18 months later the parents get the good news that their babys been found, and now that baby is 49 years old. He asks for a dna test with his parents cooperation. Its not their son. How do the investigators who open a case this cold start . How do they start this investigation . Its very difficult, almost 50 years later youre now looking to interview and reinterview witnesses, see if theres any evidence that can be subjected to dna testing. And you want to go back to the beginning how this happened. The mother was holding the newborn in the hospital, a woman came in dressed like a nurse and said i need to take that baby for some testing, and she never returned. So whoever abducted this baby knew to dress like a nurse, knew the lingo of the hospital and knew how to get past whatever security there was at the hospital. So investigators would want to look at any former employees, someone who was disgruntled, and hopefully publicity will lead people to think back to those days almost 50 years ago, and maybe someone remembers seeing a woman with a baby who hadnt been pregnant before and maybe they were suspicious then, but they didnt put two and two together, and maybe they will now. But 40 or 50 years later, you saw the headlines. Could there have been more publicity after that . Dan, what happens from this case legally . I guess theres no statute of limitations on kidnapping . Well, there generally is, and it would be a statute based on what the law was in 1964 when this happened. Now, if you argue as a prosecutor that the course of conduct of the abduction and the subsequent deception continued maybe even until this day, you could try to argue that the statute of limitations has not run. But it depends on what the law was back in the 60s. Of course, were a long way from that. Jamie okay, steve, look at these two pictures, okay . This is the picture of the baby, this is the picture of this now49yearold who was returned to the participants who at this point finds out parents who at this point finds out. How do you think they put it together when they found this little boy and decided it was the same child . Well, Law Enforcement initially based their belief only on the fact the babys ears were similar. Foot prints, hand prints had not been taken by the hospital, so they had very little to work with at that time. Jamie and at this time that other baby, their baby, their child that they didnt have the opportunity to raise is also 49. I mean, this poor guy who was raised by this family doesnt even know his real birth date. He has so many questions, and its the family has waited til now to help him find these answers. What about that other baby . What about some other family out there . Can prison handle all of the can police handle all of the request and information and tips that theyll get . Whats good, memories diminish, people pass on, they move on, but also with time we have scientific breaks. We have familial dna that can if youre in a database either in Law Enforcement or in ancestry. Org and a relative, a close relative, a cousin, a brother, a sister had been arrested for some sort of a crime or voluntarily went into that database, they may be able to trace back in both cases to identify not only pauls family, but the child that was actually taken. Jamie we sure hope so. Guys, before i let you go, let me just put up the picture side by side of the two, maybe someone remembers something and help identify who these children belonged to at the time. Thank you, both, dan and steve, for weighing in on this and this cold case now reopened 49 years later. Thank you, jamie. Jamie thank you.

We hope that you guys can continue to make a difference in peoples lives. God bless. Jamie some nice criminals for a change, but police say they are still going to investigate that incident. Bill check it out. Nine minutes before the hour now. New polling numbers showing that voters have set what seems to be an evergrowing nation on the dole. As of april this year, 47. 5 million americans are getting food stamps, an increase of 1. 3 million in just one year alone. 14 million since president Obama Took Office in 2009. We have a new fox poll number that shows that 50 of americans believe that most food stamp recipients are taking advantage of the system, so we sent people out to figure out that answer. Fox news editor at large and part of the special report, the great food stamp binge, hosted by bret baier. Interesting story to you. What did you find . You know, we found that there are record, explosive growth of this program, Record Numbers of americans, 1 in 7, bill, who are on food stamps, and we found that there, you know, there is real need out there. We also found that there is some level when you have a program that is this big that has grown this large, some level of abuse. We found a guy in california i laugh, i oughtnt to, but he is also a comic character. This is a guy named jason the surfer guy who has no job and who, in fact, happily spends his day surfing. He wants to be a rock star, and he hangs out with his pals and has a snap card, an abt card, and on camera has a party. He takes his snap card and goes to a local food mart, snaps it through and buys lobster and says, thanks mr. And mrs. Taxpayer. Bill wow. That is abuse. You mentioned an important point here because there are millions of americans, i mean, this is their lifeline. This is how they support themselves every day. How much fraud and abuse, however, did you find there actually is fraud and abuse. And we show that. But beyond that there is also, i mean, what we found was that part of the explanation of this explosive growth in the federal assistance rolls has to do with a determined effort by the federal government and its allies among the activists who push food stamps on people, some of whom are quite reluctant to accept them. Bill so you found the government is trying to put more people on the program . Bill, you and i are both familiar with folks down south. We know that, for example, in North Carolina which is one of the places we went people might be reluctant to go on public assistance and, in fact, they have this deeplyheld belief in selfreliance. And we found that the government gave an award to a social worker for going out and breaking down mountain pride in North Carolina. Bill bill almost incentive, it sounds like. It was a kind of incentive. Bill what does that say, and i mentioned this fox poll that came out late yesterday, what did you find about america about where were going or where we are . Thats a great question. I mean, what we found are there are two fundamental American Values and intention here. We are a generous people. At the same time, part of the american character is selfreliance and taking care of ones self. A brand new fox poll done for this special shows that weed the question we asked the question if someone you knew, someone you cared about was in need, would you rather have them come to you or go to the government . Its odd how it turned out. Bill really . A majority of republicans said come to us, come to the community, come to family. Bill family, friends. The majority of democrats said the government. Bill really interesting seeing your program on friday night, peter. Thank you so much for the preview. Peter boyar here in studio. Friday night, 10 00 eastern time. Its the great food stamp binge.
