hard to imagine that continuing the payroll tax cut will do anything at all to stimulate the economy. taking it away could have hurt. continuing it -- >> it's an election year. do they want to get their noses bloodied again last real fight scheduled on the books before the election. goes through the end of the year. one thing have to relitigate is bush era tax cuts at the end of the year. that will be post election time. president obama for the first time mentioning them by name when he was out on his west coast three day trip there for his fundraising group. he was in front of bill gates, formerly of microsoft standing off to the wings when he said this about the bush era tax cuts. the bush ear i can't era tax cuts are going to expire at the end of the year. going to have to shape what our tax policy is and how we reduce our deficits. i have not seen in my lifetime as stark a choice as we have in 2012. >> they pay about $17,000 to sit down and attend and hang out with the president. >> to hear the president talk about this. >> this is clearly the rhetoric that the president is going to use into the election. going to be about taking care of the rich or, you know, this is the narrative he hopes will get him reelected. paul ryan though talks about the responsible direction this country should head. in here is the congressman from wisconsin. >> this is what motivates me, bill. look, the point i -- knowing these numbers and knowing where the country is heading and knowing my kids 7, 8 and 10 years old are literally going to have a lower standard of living and diminished future than what we have. that's irrefutable fact based on where we are headed. >> so much more on that and the president's trip out west coming coming up later in the show. including. this speaking later in the show he to the mother of a fallen marine who is fairly offended by what governor chris christie of new jersey has died to do with the thrags. sort of an education in all of us who decides when to lower thing in. why is the flag here in new jersey at half-staff? it turns out it's because whitney houston had passed and, of course, new jersey pride. governor chris christie defending his decision to do that we will talk about the mother on the back end. take a listen to the governor at first. >> i believe that she deserves to be honored for that cultural impact, a contribution that she made as a daughter of new jersey. some people said do you this for her, you won't do it for a fallen soldier. every fallen soldier who has lost their life during this administration has had that honor. every fallen police officer in my administration has received that honor. >> this as clayton mentioned has angered a lot of people in this country including the mom who will join us. her son was killed, he was a marine. now they did fly the flag at half-staff when her son died in arizona was where they had the flag not only othe day he died but the day of his funeral. but she says this actually lessens the honor of what they did for my son. doing the same thing for whitney houston lessens what they did. >> she is not a role model. she is somebody to be looked up to. you have to understand this woman lost her son a month ago. it's very very raw for her. we will be talking with phyllis mcgee at about 7:50 east coast time. >> we would love to hear from you this morning. where do you stand on this. the governor stands by that as new jersey pride whitney houston was. inspiring a whole generation of young singers and individuals. that's on one side of the argument. the other side she is not out there defending our country. >> arguably glorified drug use in that interview with diane sawyer that we will never forget. let us know how you feel on this ff weekend at twitter and foxnews.com is the address. we may be honoring our president president on presidents' day. how does it rate when it comes to following the constitution. put to thes at the next. >> who needs apple juice. some serving coffee. >> baby chinos. where is it going to be? >> brooklyn. >> get them started early. ♪ the hippy hippy shake. what do you get when you combine the home depot with this weekend? the cure for cabin fever. because with get-it-done savings on everything we need... we can turn this weekend into a fresh floor... or an updated bathroom... or a brand-new look. so let's hit those orange aisles, and make today the day, we make a big difference, no matter how big our budget. more saving. more doing. that's the power of the home depot maximize your budget with great buys, like mosaic tile, just $4.98 per square foot. had a tree that bore the most rare and magical fruit, which provided for their every financial need. [ thunder rumbling ] [ thunder crashing ] and then, in one blinding blink of an eye, their tree had given its last. but with their raymond james financial advor, they had prepared for even the unthinkable. ♪ and they danced. see what a raymond james advisor can do for you. >> welcome back. two days away from president's date. they wanted leaders that would champion limited government and also, of course, follow the constitution. how do some of our presidents rank? joining us is the author of "politically incorrect guide to presidents." nice to see you, steven. >> good. how are you? >> i'm excited to get started with calvin coolidge who became president. you gave him an a plus in your book for constitutional literacy. why? >> right. well, the reason do the book this way is hardly anybody who evaluates presidents says let's see if they lived up to oath of office to protect and defend the constitution. coolidge is the most constitutionally literate president. some went against the views of the founders or openly rejected them. coolidge upheld it better than any other president. one reason that liberals decided to call him silent cal. he wasn't silent at all. ' was the last president to write all his own speeches. rather than argue with him they tried to tell us ignore him and pretend he didn't exist. >> isn't that the way that the founders intended it the legislative branch is the stronger branch. they get out there on the bully pulpit and talk about legislation. the president sits back and sign it. they are the extorres? >> no, that's not quite right. the founders thought the president would be the chief defender of the constitution against encroachment probably coming from congress. there is a reason that they gave the president secret toes out of laws. they wanted to use the veto when they thought the measure was unconstitutional. a lot of modern presidents, eisenhower, even george w. bush have signed bills saying it's not up to me. up to the supreme court to decide if it's constitutional. no view that a 19th century president would have taken. >> george w. bush you brought him up. you gave him a b plus do you cite that as a result of his supreme court nominations? >> right. i had a three part criteria for judging presidents on this area did. they agree with the founders? did they do things that eroded the limits on centralized power in the constitution and their supreme court picks because presidents shape a supreme court. bush is distinguished for being the only republic president who didn't botch supreme court appointments. every other republic made a critical mistake. >> executive branch increased or power increased. what do you say to that? >> this is true. this has to be seen in the context of war time. i understand it's very controversial and there are reasonable criticisms to be made of things like the patriot act. but i think on the whole, if you look at bush's use of executive power it's consistent with prior and constitution. >> president barack obama, you gave an f. why? >> well, look, really believes in the very liberal view of the living constitution. he actually said some years ago that he thought that the warrens court of the 1960's was very liberal didn't go far enough in terms of redistributing wealth. 10 days ago he says something startling in my mind. matt lauer why haven't you delivered more of this hope and change you promised. obama's answer is amazing. it turns out our founding fathers a system achieving change than i would like sometimes. he doesn't like the thing like the separation of powers and restraints on his own ability to change the country. by the way saying it turns out. he is just now figuring this out o. startling way to put it. >> especially as a constitutional scholar himself. we appreciate you joining us this morning. politically incorrect guide to the presidents from wilson to obama. thanks so much. >> thank you. >> coming up on the show. soda drinkers get ready to dig deeper in your pockets. another city looking to tax the sugary drink to help keep new shape. that's what it says. explain that coming up. >> claims to be nonprofit. media matters linked to a super pac. up next, who heads that organization. i remember the days before copd. my son and i never missed opening day. but with copd making it hard to breathe, i thought those days might be over. so my doctor prescribed symbicort. it helps ificantly improve my lung function, srting within 5 minutes. symbicort doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. with symbicort, today m breathing beer, and at means... game on! symbicort is for copd, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. it should not be taken more than twice a day. symbicort may increase your risk of lung infections, osteoporosis, and some eye oblems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it.

>> kathleen kennedy townsend was put in charge by david broke of american bridge when it started a couple years ago. she is robert kennedy's daughter. she is also the former lt. governor of marilyn. a committed democrat and she has vowed in interviews she will spend millions of dollars using american bridge to go after republicans and that's what we are seeing. they have a staff of just tons of guys that are out there researching digging up dirt on republicans. and the whole idea is if they do this as an organization, democrat campaigns and other organizations they don't have to spend the money to dig up dirt. this real solid a group that is all about digging up opposition research. run by david broke a guy who says that his group is there just to find out whether media organizations are being fair. obviously david broke has a political agenda. >> that appears pretty clear. they may, in fact, use private investigators to trail broadcasters and conservatives alex pappas from the daily caller. appreciate you being on. >> you bet. >> remembering a music legend family and friends preparing to say their goodbyes to whitney houston. we are live in newark, new jersey, where her funeral is set to take place in just a couple of hours. >> then, how about a baby ccino. one restaurant serving coffee to your kid does. is it harmful to their health?

[ male announcer ] see "a lot" more... now at godaddy.co! ♪ go daddy coalition announcing a brand new initiative for hispanic americans. increase economic freedom by putting forth a free market message. joining us is executive director of libre a nonprofit nonpartisan organization protecting freedom and increasing prosperity for all americans. i could have had you tell us what the organization was all about. >> do you it much better than what i do. >> you are banding together to do what? >> well, we see this sort of urgency in america that we are headed down the wrong direction, more spending, more borrowing, more taxation, this urgency has provoked a sort of a groundswell within the hispanic community to say hey, this needs to stop. a lot of us came to america. our parents before us and grandparents because we could achieve in america what we could not achieve in our country of origin. >> the american dream. >> the american dream. that's why a lot of immigrants come to america. that dream is being hampered because of the growth of government. this government is now starting to look like the governments in latin america. we are in danger of that. we sort of come together and say enough. we need to be a vanguard to stop this. >> you say and our producer notes that we have become less free. give me an example. >> well, i think one of the biggest examples we can sort of point to is the huge ominous cloud that's coming over the horizon called obama care that going to destroy american businesses. and hamper small business' ability to grow, to expand, to buy new equipment. get new employees. we are talking about almost 8% cost that's going to be added to, you know, the diminishing profit margins for small businesses. 1.6 hispanic small businesses across america, are going to be hurt. >> what about immigration? obviously that's a big topic for all americans within the latino and hispanic communities. how does that resonate? how do you want changes to be made? >> we want to make sure any kind of immigration reform, whether it's small reform, you know, or incremental or comprehensive immigration reform, assure that it still advances and preserves individual liberties. and the liberty or i should say the freedom for small businesses to also respond to market forces. >> you say you are worried about economic prosperity. give me a little bit more information on that. >> sure, economic prosperity is sound money, free trade, limited government. what we have seen and actually not just obama administration but for several years now is this expacks, this -- expansion, growth in the size and scope of government. we need to reverse that trend we have been unemployment rate above 8% for almost 40 straight months. we have 6.1 hispanic children now living in poverty. this is a record amount and, in fact, it's the first time that they have passed the whole number of white kids, who are under the poverty level. >> active effort you guys are doing. daniel, very much thank you very much for joining us today. we appreciate it. sorrow to arouse you so early on saturday. >> new york city a city that never sleeps. >> progress in the war in afghanistan? next guest says yes. how does he know? because he has been there this story is getting you guys fired up. a heart attack at the heart attack grill. it's a vegas restaurant. you get the theme there. a guy was rushed to the hospital. now some say, look, this place should be shut down. we're going to debate it coming up next. slip-on's the way to go. more people do that, security would be like -- there's no charge for the bag. thanks. i know a quiet little place where we can get some work done. there's a three-prong plug. i have club passes. [ male announcer ] now there's a mileage card that offers special perks on united, like a free checked bag, united club passes, and priority boarding. thanks. ♪ okay. what's your secret? ♪ [ male announcer ] the new united mileageplus explorer card. get it and you're in. >> welcome back, when we hear about the war in afghanistan, it's often tied to reports of progress. military and political leaders telling us the situation is improving. but is it really? >> yeah. a new report to congress. a u.s. army officer says our top military brass is misleading the public about the afghan war and how it's really going on. how does he know? he has actually been there and you are looking at him. right now it's army lt. colonel daniel davis. nice to see you this morning. welcome to the show. >> thanks very much. appreciate being on here. >> this is exhaustive report that you put together with many, many interviews while you there were in the war zone. one of the things though you allege in your report is outright omission. and even deception. by the military and by the pentagon to deceive and omit. that's a harsh accusation. what evidence do you have? >> and it is. when you take a look at the things that are actually existing on the ground and then especially when you take a look the things been said overtime. no way that can be frew. so if you know what's going on. if you are aware of the situation and you are characterizing it to the public in ways that are very different than that, i'm not sure how else to call that. >> to clayton's point, lt.. there are two problems. one is what's happening on the ground and two what is being told the american people. let's start with the first to you. you have seen it, you have been to afghanistan. what is the biggest problem with what we're doing there in the mission? >> right. there is a number of them, of course. i will focus on some of the most important. please forgive my voice i'm having a little bit of laryngitis today. >> don't worry. >> in order for a counter insurgency to work there is a number of things that have to happen. all of them have to happen to one degree or another. the people have to alive with their government and counter insurgent forces which is us reject the insurgent forces. the government has to be minimally capable and non-corrupt and then, of course, the insurgency itself has to be beaten down at least to a sufficient version to where the host country's military forces can handle it without existential help. in my view after 12 months running around the country and talking to literally hundreds of soldiers, none of those things are occurring. >> one of the most damning things in your report i have to say is what you say about certain pa will twos. and i'm not going it put words in your mouth. you just tell us what you discovered on some of these patrols by our military. >> yeah. in one particular one this summer was really poignant down in the northern kandahar area, it was 116 degrees. we had just taken down particular building complex and set it up strong point clear the area. joint u.s. afghan patrol. they went out there and like i said it was 116. the united states guys start doing the normal stuff and establishing strong points, building up defensive positions doing deliberate cleaning to make sure there are no more iudu's exhausting work when you are carrying all that body armor et cetera. the u.s. guys started their work. afghan guys went to bailing and went to sleep and stayed there the entire day. that was the first day i had been out there with them. i said is this typical or unusual? and they said, almost the same story everywhere in afghanistan i went. they said absolutely this is what they do every day. they don't any of the hard work. they let us do everything. they don't take part in the risk. we have to do that for them. >> this is not the story we are hearing from the pelc. we appreciate you being with us colonel. >> hope your voice detectives better. colonel, we appreciate it. >> thank you i appreciate it richest americans need to pay their fair share. is the message sticking with voters? we are going to ask mark next.

>> when it comes to baseball i'm allowed to be he pro-ohio state who. >> -- pro-choice. >> very democratic choice. >> good hands either way. >> either way you look at it. >> other headlines now. alleged terror attack targeting one of the nation's most historic land marks. fbi and police thwarting the plot yesterday in washington. police say the terrorist suspect was on his way to the u.s. capital. he was apparently going to detonate what he thought was a suicide vest. he also had a disabled gun. he was in court yesterday. his bail hearing is set for wednesday. the moroccan citizen thought he was working with al qaeda. it was actually the fbi. he has been in the u.s. illegally since 1999. his former planned lord this is interesting in rae. he he said he knew something wasn't right about this guy and the men he lived with. he says that the landlord said he told police about 18 months ago he thought that the guys were making bombs. authorities insist the public was never in danger. all eyes today on new hope baptist church in newark, new jersey. that is, of course, where a private funeral service will be held at noon eastern time. for whitney houston. although the ceremony is only for close family and friends, millions will be able to tune in and watch online. some of the stars expected to be intended included her aunt re. aretha franklin. kevin costner. a utah mom is counting her blessings after a deputies saved her life. 911 after her son stopped breathing. take a listen to the call. >> what a nightmare. as soon as the deputy tyler green hold arrived he provided cpr right after he took a breath of air. >> scariest thing i have been on. i wasn't expecting an infant. >> officer greenhall was like an angel. >> baby easton is recovering from a lung infection in hospital. doctors say is he going to be okay. janet jackson reportedly talking to simon cowell about joining the exfactor. the star slightly dodged the question earlier this week during a tv interview. last month the judges paula abdul and -- pink is in the running. very opinionated lady that pink. i think she would be good. talented. knows her music. >> simon cowell this week maybe rick knows about this. that he carries around a bottle of oxygen now to preserve his youth. sniff the oxygen. >> that's totally normal. >> where did you hear that? >> on the news. >> on the enquirer? >> i heard it on the news. >> you are the only one apparently. >> i'm not making it up. >> red it in the onion. >> exactly and he read it. >> here are your temps as you are waking up this morning. cold across the north but not that bad. we have been talking about a big storm coming. not enough cold air at least in the northeast that's going to be talking about a storm here. this is the storm we have right now. very wet storm which is great we need all the areas of moisture we can get across texas. this is going to continue for at least the next 24 hours. take a look at the futurecast here. we still continue to see this throughout much of the day today. by tomorrow morning we are talking about very heavy storms, possibly severe rumbling overnight across georgia and south carolina. then right there we start to see this white. that's what eventually will be some snow. across areas of kentucky, tennessee, west virginia and western parts of virginia. an inch or two of snow falling from this which would double what you have had so far this year which is only an inch. >> high temperatures today quite warm across much of the east. nobody that cold at all which has been the big story for us all winter long. the same goes for us for tomorrow. back to you. >> what happened to your trip? what did you lose? >> rick went on the trip and texted me yesterday to admit what happened? >> i left my ipad on the euro star. >> oh. >> same thing happened to me last year. >> like an $800. >> mistake? >> kick in the -- >> screams. >> well, we are sorry, rick. >> take up a collection. >> left some good news for you, rick. there is 20 extra dollars going to remain in your paycheck. that is about 80 bucks a month for most americans because the payroll tax cut has been extended for americans. so some good news depending on how you look at thing. >> got 20 bucks going toward 800. >> 20 bucks a week. >> most of the year he could save up for a new ipad. >> that brings up the larger point whether this would do anything to stimulate the economy. politicians this was bipartisan effort. speaker boehner had his hands deep in this deal. certainly this is not a bloody battle that any politician wants to get in election year. money is going to be coming out of their paychecks. the president talked about this yesterday out on the campaign trail. take a listen. >> middle class tax cut is something i proposed in my jobs bill back in september. and because you kept the pressure on congress, because you reminded people what it means to have 40 bucks taken out of your paycheck every week, it got done. this is a big deal. i want to thank members of congress for listening to the voice of the american people. it is amazing what happens when congress focuses on doing the right thing instead of just playing politics. >> now, there is an election coming, i would like to point out here real real quick. that money didn't poof appear. the money is going to come from somewhere. let's listen to what senator can dakotas -- coats has to say. >> let be honest and say we are taking the money out of your social security trust fund to extend the program here to give you a so-called tax break it is a shell game and it's going to have to be repaid. >> and democrat are rg ing it has been a shell game the with bush era tax cuts. tax hike how are you going to pay for that republicans didn't pay for the bush era tax cuts. that is coming to the fore. those are set tox prior at the end of this year. president obama saying those bush tax cuts are going tox prior at the end of this year. whoever is president is going to shape what our tax policy is and how we reduce our deficits and how we maintain fiscal stability. i have not in my lifetime seen as stark a choice as we have for 2012. that is the message. middle class versus the rich. >> payroll tax cut extension is a good thing. the bush tax cuts is a bad thing. that's what's you are going to hear laid out in the campaign. paul ryan says hold on, you know the courageous steps he has taken to try to reform things like social security. here is what he said about all of this recommendation this is what motivates me, bill. look, the point -- knowing these numbers and knowing where the country is heading and knowing my kids 7, 8 and 10 years old are literally going to have a lower stashed of living and more diminished future than what we have. that's irrefutable fact based on where we are headed. >> to add on to that, paul ryan would also tell you that the president's budget had nothing about reforming these entitlements like social security. so, on one hand, you are taking away with it with this payroll tax cut and doing nothing to reform them with your own budget. that may be the republic narrative moving forward as well. >> have you been spending a lot of time at home with your brand new baby logan. >> i have. a lot. >> you have noticed anybody falling -- following you? >> no. why? >> because media matters i think would be looking into some of the broadcasters that they are concerned about. >> they are considering private investigators trailing conservatives and broadcasters at this network. >> staff members and others. it's interesting because of their 503 c status. their tax exempt status and they can't be an actionable organization. so we wanted to look at where they get their money, actually. so you can actually look at how this organization is funded. here is just a list of the individuals and organizations that have been funding media matters. the tide foundation for about $4 million. george soros, open society institutes about a million dollars. the ford foundation nearly a million dollars. the sandler foundation about $400,000. >> they bank rolled acorn at one point. >> yeah. >> schuman fund for media and democracy $600,000. that's managed by long time pbs host bill moyers and his son. barbra streisand foundation. grand and moveon.org. 50,000. >> and let's be clear about who exactly media matters is run by david broke with questionable background. this is an organization dedicated to one thing. basically attacking fox news and any type of conservative message and to silence anything in fact coming out of this network. the problem to clayton's point is they have tax exempt status. what is 501 c 3? it is clearly defined. those organizations may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities and may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates. now, we have been told by the dale live caller who investigated this organization, they have regular meetings with the white house how to silence these type of messages. >> it's also interesting. think about where you can actually put your money. if you are sitting out there saying i want to make a charitable. i want to give it to nonprofit. somebody who could really use the money. >> boy scouts, girl scouts. >> red cross. you could do things like that to donate money. >> tough call. >> really tough call. >> that's a lot of people. >> the president says the richest americans need to pay their fair share. >> everybody gets a fair shot. everybody does their fair share. everybody plays by the same set of rules. >> but is the message sticking with voters? former presidential speech writer is here next. >> talk about waist. more than $2 million spent on this public restroom. and it is -- >> looks fantastic. look at all this stuff for coffee. oh there's tons. french presses, espresso tampers, filters. it can get really complicated. not nearly as complicated as shipping it though. i mean shipping is a hassle. not with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service. if it fits it ships, anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. that is easy. best news i've heard all day! i'm soooo amped! i mean not amped. excited. well, sort of amped. really kind of in between. have you ever thought about decaf? do you think that would help? yeah. priority mail flat rate shipping starts at just $5.15, only from the postal service. a simpler way to ship. that make kids happy. and even fewer that make moms happy too. with wholesome noodles and bite sized chicken, nothing brings you together like chicken noodle soup from campbell's. it's amazing what soup can do.

because people rise to different levels of success based on what they contribute to society and to the marketplace. and that's as it should be. >> a couple messages there. so whose message is resonating more with voters? >> here to weigh in on this is former speech writer mark teese. >> good morning. >> when you hear that and hear rick santorum saying that, is that what the american people want to hear? >> no. and it's not the strategy the republicans should be taking. look. obama is playing the class warfare card. it's the only card he has. can't campaign on theme of morning in america like ronald reagan is did. it's not morning in america. trying to create a wave of class envy and resentment that he could ride to re-election. fortunately -- unfortunately the republicans are helping him. rick santorum saying income inequality is a good thing. instead of defending income inequality, what the candidates should be saying, mr. president your policies are exacerbating income inequality. under your administration 2.6 million people have gone from middle class into poverty. millions of people can't find work. millions of people who are underemployed. used to have full-time jobs now only working part time. your policies are responsible for. this you are making income inequality worse. >> do you think that was a risky move for santorum to say that? >> yes. i think it's exact wrong way to say it we shouldn't be defending income inequality. what we should be talking about is barack obama has brought us a downward mobility society. we should be championing upward mobility. in a society that is growing, people don't care about income inequality. republic view is not that we should divide of a shrinking economic pie for equitably. we should be growing so everybody gets a bigger slice. have to have optimistic message about ending barack obama's destructive economic policies so we can get the economy growing again and people, all americans' incomes rising that should be the policy. >> sports analogies i am nerdier maybe i will do chess analogy here. payroll tax extension is chess board one of the pieces on the chess board has been removed and that's not part of the debate going forward in the 2012 election. the bush era tax cuts set to expire at the end of this year will be. who is on the right side of this argument? easier argument for president obama to make? got to let the richest tax cuts expire because i'm here for you, the middle class, is that better on his side? >> i think americans instinctively understand that the worse thing you could possibly do in this day in a rough economy is raise taxes on job creators. what we should be doing is saying we want to soak the rich to as republicans. we want to take away the government subsidies that barack obama has been giving them. here is a buftd rule for the republic party. warren buffet doesn't need medicare. >> mark thiessen thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. >> that's why is he a speech writer. he knows his stuff. >> coming up on the show, a heart attack at the heart attack grill. customer rushed to the hospital. some say it should be shut down that debate coming up. was it the restaurant's fault?

>> because. what they are doing is making a mockery of a real problem. cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of americans. and they are making a joke out of it. if anyone has ever experienced the disease or lost a loved one to the disease you know it's not a joke. >> john, the accusation you are making a joke of cardiovascular disease, your response. >> absolutely it's a problem and that's absolutely why i'm mocking it the traditional method of trying to convince the american public to eat better simply isn't working and statistics prove that the heart attack grill comes straightforward and tells you exactly what we do at every single moment. the only way that we're going to make any inroad on the american consciousness is to mock it to the nnth degree that's what i do and i do it openly. >> here is the triple bypass burger. half pound of beef. 15 slices of bacon. 8 slices of cheese, tomato, and entire onion sauteed in lard. 6,000 calories. why then the doctor's coat and why the nurses running around and nurse's uniform if you are not having fun with it and making light of it, why the doctor's uniform?

personal responsibility? the grill is clearly not deceiving anyone. you walk in there knowing exactly what you are getting served. isn't this about personal responsibility? americans making up their observe mind. >> first of all a difference between making a mockery of something and actually providing it. you don't driveway attention to malaria epidemic by giving pima layer i can't. that's ridiculous. i don't take his stance seriously. >> aren't they going to find food somewhere else. >> sure. i'm not going to say heart attack grill. >> far from it? >> mcdonald's, burger king. i will get mr. basso credit for being more honest than wendy's, mcdonald's and kfc which spread their damage farther and wider. is he making a mockery. people do die from heart disease and it's not a joke. >> it's an interesting subject. john, i have to love the catch phrase the moral bankruptcy. great catch phrase. my hands off to it. but what the heart attack grill does is we have and always will maintain the moral high ground. i call upon any other restaurant in america to put forth the same disclaimers right on their front door and menu that the heart attack grill does. they won't do it. and if they don't do it the government and certain busy body ache voyeur casey groups will eventually legislate us and force us to do it. >> john, we have got to leave it there thank you for civilized debate. find me on twitter, dave briggs tv should the heart attack grill close?

talking about the bush era tax cuts which are set to edges prior at the end of this year. the bush era tax cuts are going to be the big campaign issue. one of the things is he going to talk about coming forward. all about campaigns. not about good economics. not about what's good for the country. you remember he had the votes to repeal the bush tax cuts in 2009 and 2010 and didn't. praised their renewal in december of 2010 saying now is not the time to be raising taxes. that's exactly the argument he was making about the payroll taxes. now is not the time to be raising taxes. let's take

lot of things closely. this man you are looking at right now. mit economist going back and saying insurance premium also probably soar. a lot of variables here. >> remember, president obama said pass this bile by the end of 2000 10. premiums for a family of four will go down $2,500 by the end of the first year. instead they end up 8%. health economists before obama care projected over the next decade that health care premiums would grow 79%. now the estimate is will be growing over 110%. it makes sense. if you say we will add a bunch of mandates and rules and requirements and regulations and offer things free like the president's recent decision everything else is the health care world. virtually every sing dwell promise about the affordable care act is turning out not to be true. its

repeal obama care. "wall street journal" did an interesting piece in october laying out how impossible it would be. >> it's not. >> it would be impossible to eliminate obama care even if you did you could repeal portions of it. even large chunks of it would still be in place. >> that's not exactly accurate. there will be $115 billion for imenting the bill. much of the money will be spent by january of 2013. half of the cost is for the expansion of medicaid by third. other half of it is for the creation of so-called exchanges. subsidized insurance coverage. you could stop all of those. the things you could not stop is no price tag. no preexisting conditions or requirement that you are allowed to keep your child until the age of 26 or so forth. vast bulk. borrowing mope from medicare and borrowing money from social security. and borrowing money from insurance product called class, the long-term care can't figure out how to implement those things can go away immediately. >> let's talk about the media much has been made about members of the media coming to join the obama administration. >> this is a record. 19 members joining the obama camp. is there anything wrong with that? is there any surprise? already pretty much has the majority of the media. >> are we surprised that most of of the media are liberal and democrats? >> no. 88% of the campaign contributions in 2008 from journalists, editors and producers went to president obama in the presidential campaign. what is interesting to me is this. there are large number of them. which i think says something about the obama administration wanting to make certain that they have skilled journalists in these key positions. journalists is even better than a pr person. they know these people more intimately. if you look at the list there are huge number of people there have the print media and i think this says something about how the print media is, you know, declining in size. and some of these journalists are desperate for long-term employment and they're bailing out of writing for a living and going to flacking for a living. >> jay cancer ympleghts exactly. >> stick around if you don't mind. >> do i have to. >> yes, carl, do you. >> yes you do. juliet demands it. >> we'll get you coffee. >> hey, two creams half a sugar. >> very demanding. this man. >> talk about gas prices if you don't mind. those gas prices are about to get even higher. why isn't president obama talking about this even more. >> carl is going to weigh in on this too. carl does not like screaming children at pizza parlors. >> you don't know that we are going to talk about this when we come back ♪ [ male announcer ] juice drink too watery? ♪ feel the power my young friend. mmm!

should it be an issue for president obama's re-election? >> democrats were beating us up over gasoline prices in the $2 range. also beating us for 5% unemployment saying jobless recovery. 8% unemployment and gas approaching $4 a -- four bucks a gallon. times have changed. >> doesn't this underscore an issue that i hear both from democrats and republicans is the president can't do much on gas prices i hear that from republicans saying george w. bush isn't to blame for gas prices and saying the same about president obama. >> yes, he could he could say build the keystone pipeline. expand the amount of territory that you are allowed to drill in offshore and in alaska and federal lands. easier for us to increase domestic production. right now we have an oil and gas boom a result of technology primarily improvements in technology and decisions made in the previous administration to expand access to federal lands and federal waters. the keystone pipeline was a big problem. you need the markets to know in years ahead they are going to have access to spries. the administration could do something to damp down prizes remember, bush was pounded because the media was will to make tan issue. spownded because of 5% unemployment because the media was willing to make issue. media is complicit with the president right now. we have a terrible terrible jobs picture. good month with 240,000 some odd jobs being created. none the less, we have the weakest recovery since world war 2 the longest period of sustained high unemployment since the great depression. 50% unemployment among young people and the largest percentage of long-term unemployment since the great depression. and the media is going to do everything they can to take whatever small efforts that the recovery give the president to president obama. >> there he is, architect karl rove. >> i was worried about how you were treating juliet until i saw what she did to the two of you. >> give some of your own medicine. >> give the secret service a caller. >> no, i like it. >> you have to keep these boys in gear. >> rick santorum beating mitt romney in the polls in michigan. romney's home state if santorum takes michigan. is romney doomed?

>> let's get to some headlines. first look at federal agent. this guy was shot six times by one of his own men. this is a crazy story that unfolded yesterday. this video was taken of immigration and customs officer scott koseck in 2006. one ever the highest ranking ice officials in the los angeles area. incredibly he survived thursday's shooting and is in stable condition. here is how it all went down. we are learning about ezekiel garcia. long time agent opened fire on koseck after getting a poor job evaluation. luckily koseck was shot and killed by another officer before it was too late. star studded funeral for whitney houston. the funeral starts this afternoon at the new hope baptist church in newark, new jersey. that's where we find lauren green. that's where she got her start in the gospel choir there. they knew back then that she was going to be a star. >> absolutely at love people saw her grow. watched her grow and watched this talent bud and bloom and become a great mega star. the sun is shining but somber contrast to the mood around new hope baptist church. behind me is the church and there are few people have actually started to trickle. in we are over the parking lot for the church. we have seen many people going. in many of the fans being kept away. six block radius that has been cordoned off. police telling stay home for security purposes. watch on internet or broadcast outlets because it will make the day go much smoother a lot of activity that's starting to happen right now. the police presence is incredible because they will actually escort many of those stars that are expected to be here for the event. they will escort them to the church. juliet? >> lauren, who are some of those stars that will be attending? >> there is a laundry list of stars that are going to be here. i'm sure a lot of people have already heard about aretha franklin and stevie wonder. they are going to sing musical contributes to whitney houston. oprah oprah winfrey, elton john, bill cosby. janet jackson, denzel washington. kevin costner who co-starred with whitney houston in the body guard is expected to be here. also just plain folks. those people you talked about that watched her grow here in the church. they will also be here as well. juliet? >> lauren green live in newark, new jersey. thank you very much. get to other headlines. parents listen up. johnson & johnson recalling all infant tylenol after complaints with problems with newly designed bottles. all infant tylenol. the protective cover on the top of the bottle is meant to limit how much medicine can be drawn it doesn't work. this design was introduced in november. either sugar free or sugar fee. lawmaker calling for added tax on all sugary beverages like soda and energy drinks. penny per ounce if you do the math would add to 66 cents to the cost of your average 12-liter. now he says he would be willing to tax less. by the way the kind of tax that he is talking about has been considered in a lot of the other states, about 20 states in the past. so far not one of those proposals has passed. always seems to get a lot of flack from people. rick reichmuth is outside. what's the weather like around the country what about sugar free drinks does the tax apply. >> i don't believe it does. going out on a limb there. >> another mild weekend across the east. take a look at the temps across the country. 18 in minneapolis. should be colder than that this time of year still. down across the gulf coast. that's where all the action is. move forward and have threat for severe weather today. very heavy rain falling across areas of texas and louisiana. louisiana is socked in right now with rain. those rainfall rates are going to be at least one inch an hour. see some spots get some very quick localized flash flooding and all kinds of flood concerns down there. certainly be very careful across roads ways. severe weather continues today. slowly to the east. tomorrow in across areas of the carolinas and southern georgia as well. send you back inside. >> grass i can't -- thank you, . >> governor huckabee was over there texting. he was over there texting for a while now. >> please don't do this. >> that step is a doosie. >> i was going to fall in your lap but i didn't want to you have to rescue me. that is dangerous texting and walking. very bad. >> what about walking and talking about politics? >> we can do that. >> we can do that? >> yeah. it's just the politics that are dangerous. not the walking part. >> are any comments going to come back to haunt rick santorum this week? he made interesting comments about income inequality. take a listen. >> there is income inequality in america. there always has been. hopefully and i do say that there always will be. why? because people rise to different levels of success based on what they contribute to society and to the marketplace. that's as it should be. and we shouldn't have a society that has a president who envies or creates class warfare or envy between one group of people and another? i had a tweet from somebody yesterday who said he sounds like chris christie. >> in the context one of those things was it awkwardly spoken extemporaneous remark like that would hurt him more in a general election than a primary. taken out of context he is saying oh it looks like is he saying i'm glad there are people who are poor. that's not what he is saying. he didn't phrase it in exactly the best way. if you are in an underclass it, gives you the incentive to move up. i grew up that way. i get it. it sounds like insensitivity. that's how it will be portrayed. will he get over it? yes. it's not a game changer. you get up to a podium and say i think adolf hitler was greatly misunderstood and not a bad guy. that is a political end game. >> nobody quote the governor on that just now all eyes for rick santorum on a question. no question a win for him and leading in the polls right now is a game changer. what would a loss mean in michigan to mitt romney in home state? would it devastate him and his inevitable status? >> it's a big set back if that happens. huge set back. he has to build a fire wall in michigan. not so much because michigan has enough delegates to put him over the top but it's a perception. politics is more about perception than it is reality. the perception is the reality. and that's why rick santorum, who won three straw polls and/or caucuses and primaries that didn't award one single delegate was on fire all of a sudden because in those three states, even though they didn't have delegate selection, the perception was he is going somewhere. and and that's why romney cannot allow that to happen to him in michigan. >> matt said it's hard for knee see how romney rights the ship if he loses to michigan. no level of spin that can overcome that disaster even if he loses by a little margin. county romney machine say this was in play. can any amount of spin overcome this disaster? >> i think he has to go to the podium if that happens. i'm not saying that will because the polls are too fluid. if that were to happen the smart thing to do is say this is a loss we didn't expect. like at love americans are losing their jobs and they didn't expect it we have got it fight for them we have got to keep fighting for this nomination. he can't ignore that big of an elephant in the room. in fact, that would be a whole herd of elephants. >> real quickly newt gingrich we had daughters on the show yesterday. they are hoping for third time is a charm. got the surge and goes away. surge and -- third time is a charm, perhaps? >> it could be. >> everyone counted newt gingrich out south carolina. who knows, this is a guy who has more lives than a cat. a cat just has nine and newt has more than that. key come back? absolutely now he has got money to match. what we are understanding the vegas millionaire giving him $10 million taking up to 21 million for the super pac. >> i'm willing to change my last name to adelson if he would like to adopt me. >> so would i. >> you do hear about the auto bailout. put in place by his pred said sore george w. bush. >> don't hear much about the stimulus on the campaign trail. three years should the president be talking about it? all it does remind people promise spent all this money on bill that unemployment rate above 8%. we would be delighted if we could get it down to 8%. the true actual unemployment number according to gallop this week is 19.2% this week when you factor in all the people under employed and people given up looking for jobs. that's staggering. among young black males, it is like in the 40% range. so it's a very very difficult issue. i don't think the president wants to go out there and remind people of his promises. >> hundreds of products that haven't been started. >> shovel ready. >> you can go back to texting for a moment. >> i will do that. >> who are you texting by the way? >> he was texting me. he said don't make fun of me for texting and walking. >> come back, get tax exempt status to attack fox news. where is the media coverage of media matters governor huckabee on that next. >> and decorated vet who put his life on this life. this soldier would not break his promise to that friend. his road to a dream that will hopefully finish in the end zone coming up. ♪ kings of the school man [ rosa ] i'm rosa and i quit smoking with chantix. when the doctor told me that i could smoke for the first wee.. i'm like...yeah, ok... little did i know that one week later i wasn't smoking.

why is it-- why are we holding that in such high regard? is it an interesting term for the catholic church to say we've got a rock star right now. does the catholic church need that? >> right. well, certainly he's not suggesting that of himself and john paul ii never suggested that of himself. what did he do for christianity in many ways? he made it accessible and i think that archbishop dolan, excuse he me now cardinal dolan is doing that for people and speaking about tough about ethical issues, religious freedom issues, even when it comes into conflict with the general society. but he's also saying, hey, listen, you know, i would love to sit down and share a meal with you. that's the type of guy he is. and i think when he said just the other day that going into, and he said this to the media, going into this talk in front of the pope and the cardinals, he said he felt like all day before doing it, like he was walking around the streets with a bowling ball on top of his head. no doubt, as the man knows how to communicate in very vivid terms. >> and communicates in personal terms. he is an a charismatic person, he literally will embrace you and put you in a bear hug and he put my daughter and wife in a bear hug the other day at st. mary major church and he has that effect on people. not only catholics, but that's just ecumenical quality. to bridge between jews, christians and muslims and i think that will be an important part of his ministry. >> absolutely. >> not only evangelizization of catholics and other people, to bring people into a communion of faith,whatever they believe. >> he said along that sames lines in the talk to the pope and cardinals, this is not about being triumphantistic, we can't be triumphantistic. now is the time to reach out and be humble and joyful because the message is not ours. >> joyful and emergent and as a catholic we've got two great cardinals, cardinal egan and cardinal dolan to the catholic faith. >> clayton: cardinal dolan said one of the big issues in new york, try to walk down the street and not smile as much. we would expect that as cardinals. we'll see if he'll turn that smile down a little bit or we won't want him to. >> unlikely, infectious smile. >> enjoy the beautiful back drop in rome he. thanks for your coverage, we appreciate it. >> nice to see you. >> clayton: coming up on the show, it could have turned into a tragedy. >> yes, ma'am, my bus driver, he's-- kind of conscious, but he's, he's drooling at the mouth. >> we're going to talk to the hero mom who jumped on to a run away school bus full of kids when the bus driver suffered a seizure. and a final farewell to wit whitney, arrival at the celebrities funeral, and all have begun to arrive in new york, new jersey. ♪ they can't take away my dignity ♪ ♪ because the greatest love of all ♪ >> welcome back, quick headlines. u.s. postal service looking to raise the price of stamps again. they want a five cent hike, to 50 cents, part of the plan to end the financial woes and would mean 1 billion dollars extra in revenue each year. and the knicks winning streak is over. but the linnisms show no signs of stopping. and jeremy lin makes to turn one to himself. he filed paper work to trade in the linsanity phrase and two men in california have filed, and both newspapers in new york, can't lin em all. and all righty, one mom in new mexico hailed as a hero for chasing after a run away bus. a crazy story. rhonda carlson was waiting for the school bus to take her daughter to school when she noticed something wrong with the driver. she stopped the bus, jumped aboard after saving the kids and made the 911 call. listen to this: >> noing us-- joining us now, rhonda carlson, take a deep breath there. take us back, your he' outside and waiting, there was another mother there, right, and some other kids. >> yes, ma'am, there were. >> juliet: what happened?

>> you know, i think you just doesn't think about it. >> juliet: yeah. >> i think you just, you're in the moment and i'm just so thankful we were there for not only the students, the young children we're talking elementary school children here and the bus driver. i'm so glad we were there, there's lots of parents that aren't at bus stops and i'm just glad it happened where it happened, i'm so thankful. >> juliet: do you want any changes to be made. apparently the bus driver was having a seizure and apparently he's okay. do you have any changes you would want within the bus driving, you the bus drivers themselves?

jersey, ordered the flags at the state to be flown at half staff and angered, and the mother after marine who died one month ago today. here is what she had to say earlier on "fox & friends." >> i think it dishonors and disrespects all of those serving the community for a better cause. especially the military. i think that the way my son lived and the way he died was dishonored when governor christy decided to lower the flags for whitney houston. >> juliet: governor christy defending his decision, saying houston should be remembered as a daughter of new jersey. and lawmakers joining the fight to save an iranian christian pastor to be put to death for honoring his faith. called for the pass tar's release. and held services in his native country was convicted in november of 2010 and

they're making a joke out of it. if everyone's ever experienced a disease or lost a loved one to the disease, you know it's not a joke. >> juliet: he the owner sayses' raising awareness and the complaining group are forgetting about person freedom. >> i will extend anybody a freedom to choose, freedom to eat and freedom to think any way they'd want to and love for one of those advocacy groups to extend me the same courtesy, but they won't do it. >> you notice he's dressed up as a doctor, and wait staff there, are dressed as nurses and that's the whole theme. and-- >> i tell what

because people rise to different levels of success based on what they contribute to society and the marketplace, that's as it should be be. >> but which of these arguments actually helps minorities? and which one hurts? mia love is the mayor of saratoga springs, utah, also a congressional candidate. good morning to you. >> good morning, how are you? >> we're doing good. let's start with rick santorum there, income inequality is somehow good for this country, is it? >> you know, i understand what he's trying to say. but republicans have a terrible way of getting the message out. what we really need to do is talk about opportunity for all, and you know, when you hear rick santorum says income inequality is a good thing, what that tells americans is that some people are pre destined to be in a lower income bracket. where that's not true. anybody in america has the opportunity to be in whatever bracket they want to. and federal governments just have to step out of the way and allow americans to do this. >> juliet: mitt romney made the comment about the poor and raised the ire of a lot of folks. so, what is the message that should be given? >> the message should be given that we, as americans, should be taking everybody from the lowest common denominator and bring them up, that there is not one person that's pre destined to do better than somebody else. what's great about america is that you can go out and take risks and make decisions and suffer the consequences or reap the benefits and that's available for all americans. >> dave: all right. aside from the the president's rhetoric and saying at these campaign stops, is his policy in general, the things he's doing for this economy, are they helping? >> i don't know, no, absolutely not. as a matter of fact, it makes more people dependent on government, and it makes it so that they don't have this need to go out and do things on their own. and what i'd like to say is we're capable. i reject the notion that a president would go out there and say, you need me to make sure that you get a fair share. i would say that we don't need him, we need americans and we need, we can make decisions ourselves. >> conversely, the argument though, you have people saying look, the poor, they don't have as many students. it isn't fair, it isn't a level playing field. and some people are pre-destined. >> well, if you think about it, it's a lot more difficult under this president to go out and open up a business, because, the tax burdens are so heavy. because the regulations are so heavy. so, for a president who says that we want to be able to create jobs, he's doing everything he can to keep it and make it more difficult for americans to go out and do this? >> and mary love, thank you for being with us, we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> up next, the startling new study found in arsenic in our baby formula. this is the organic variety. is organic truly safe? >> dr. mark siegel is going to be joining us, medical a-team. rheumatoid arthritis... could mean living with joint damage. help stop the damage before it stops you with humira. for many adults with moderate to severe ra, humira's proven to help relieve pain and stop joint damage. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events can occur, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. ask your rheumatologist how you can defend against and help stop further joint damage with humira. >> welcome back, could arsenic, a chemical link to cancer be in organic baby formula? a startling study. >> and mark siegel from the medical a-team, always told to buy organic, so we don't have the chemical and the issues and we've heard about the apple juice scare before with arsenic. now, organic baby food has arsenic? >> that's the first headline, clayton, organic doesn't automatically mean safe. it doesn't automatically mean it, but here is what's happening. arsenic is in the soil. and arsenic loves rice, rice plants pick up a lot of arsenic, and that's why the studies, have been documenting that, a fair amount of arsenic in the rice and the environmental protection agency allows ten parts per billion arsenic in water, but in this study, they found 20 times that, 20 times the amount of arsenic in brown syrup that's used in infant formula than in regular infant formula. or six times the amount in water. in other words, there's more arsenic than we were expecting, but talking parts per billion. so, i want viewers out there to know, this is a very, very small amount of arsenic, nobody at this point thinks that there's human health risks with this, but it's never been studied over a long period. now, there was a study done in chile in the '80's and '90s, and you know what happened, six times greater incidence of lung cancer, higher risk of bladder cancer, a question of developmental problems and thinking problems later on, not something to just dismiss, but we don't know what the small apartments mean. >> dave: we heard a lot about this following the dr. oz apple just investigation. if you're a parent of a newborn, which i happen to be, what do you go out there and buy? what do we know is safe? >> well, i don't, i wouldn't tell you, dave, that you can't use this stuff. i'm not going to come on national tv. >> dave: would you do that if you had a newborn at home. >> i would, but i'd be careful about it and say how much rice products is the newborn getting and a newborn parent, i had a newborn a few years ago, i'd say to the the f.d.a. how about getting some standards here, how come the ep limits water and you're not limiting rice. it's not that somebody is putting the chemical into the brown rice syrup, it's there and nobody is regulating. >> clayton: that's the scary part, we had a newborn a year and a half ago as well a rice cereal and mix with hot water and organic and not getting the bottled chemical stuff. >> and the bottom line i want parents to be conscious how much rice products they're giving their infant. but looking back, i don't think your infant is in danger, the amount is too small, but the biggest thing is fear, people are going to be afraid. we need more science not more fear and studied a long period of time. it could be that long-term exposure to small amounts of arsenic is problematic, but i don't think that science shows that right now. >> dave: scary for parents out there. dr. siegel, we appreciate it. coming up on the no, more "fox & friends" in two minutes, we'll be right back. can you enjoy vegetables with sauce and still reach your weight loss goals?
