newark liberty airport. is he expected to arrive sometime in the 4:00 p.m. hour this afternoon. that's a 12 hour and 24 minute flight. we know chen has been telling his friends that he is happy to leave china but is he a little bit reserved and worried about what is going to happen to the members of his family. he he broke his foot breaking out of his house arrest last month and he was taken directly to the airport in beijing by officials at the hospital where he was being treated. the last update that we got from the state department, they said his foot should not be an issue in his travel. listen. >> do you have any updated on his health status? could he, if he were given, a passport and then a visa, we have been in contact with him a couple times yesterday and today my understanding is leg and foot are healing well. he is starting to move around in his cast. we don't have any reason to believe that there would be health restrictions in his travel. >> now, that was from thursday. and she turned out to be right because we do know he is, according to the a.p., on this flight and the american nonprofit china aid based out of texas says that we sank the chinese central government by fulfilling one of her commitments by facilitating chen's trip to the u.s. we have calls out to the state department right now. we're waiting for an official comment from them. we

>> location location location. the classic real estate line is absolutely true for media. a tv set or computer should not be in the bedroom. the challenge comes when you give your kids phones or they have ipads because it's so easy to go in your room. the point of it being in a common room because you as a parent have access to it and you can set your limits and values. location does really matter with devices. at night, you know, phones keep kids up. they actually interfere with sleep because of the constant stimulation from text messages. don't let your kid go to bed with your cell phone. a third of teens text messages are sent after lights are supposed to be out. so, remember that. >> take them out of the room put them in some common area. jim styer the book is called "talking back to facebook. great read. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you, clayton. >> talk about a graduation president. one girl getting a big surprise from her soldier brother as she grabs her diploma. awesome. more on that reunion still ahead. are you ready to get muddy, clayton who is still ignoring me. greg briggs, rick reichmuth are as well. >> are you?

>> joining us now is kyle, the founder of eag news.com with more on this. kyle, nice to see you this morning. kyle? >> good morning. >> so tell us about this new edu jobs fund. is it going to do what the last one failed to do? >> well, it's hard to believe that because there has been no analysis whether or not this additional spend something having any impact on student achievement. to me, that's what it should all be about is with r. we doing things are we spending dollars that will lead to student achievement? to date, the answer has been no. >> this is a plan pitched by u.s. rep joe crowley democrat here in new york. $70 billion bailout plan. take a look at some the things that we're talking about here. total funds awarded were $10 billion. total funds received $8 billion. number of funded jobs 95. why would he be pitching this if this looks like a failure? >> well, i think it's hard to judge his motives difficult to do that here we are in election year and continuing to spend more money on government jobs i think unfortunately is the democrat's jobs plan. that really is kind of the limit of their imagination spurring jobs growth. spending money on public schools. continuing to increase that level of spending is not doing anything for student achievement. in fact, there was a stud i can't that was just put out from nevada which showed that in that particular state, and i think it's true across the country, spending continues to go up. but student achievement is flat or is declining. one of the from things. $10 billion broom have given the states. this money is simply a handout to the teachers unions. election year. almost election year. this money is being handed out to teachers unions what are you saying to that? political talk or truth to that? >> well, i think there is truth to that. teachers in unions pays duce goes to political activity and pushing out the vote and those sorts of things. the calculations that we have done has showed that the national education association is which is the larmtest teacher's union. save or create $100 million in dues, and the aft. the american federation of teachers is about $35 million. so clearly there is a huge incentive for the unions to see this type of legislation pass. >> kyle olson, founder of eagle news.com. thank you very much for joining us. very quickly, you are now joining in the wounded warriors fund? >> that's right. >> to get me to do it for $2,000, we're up to $400. and kyle, you have something you want to say? >> sure, i had a couple friends do the tough mudder in vermont a couple weeks ago. and i saw doocy do it yesterday. so i want to give $500 if clayton will do that this morning. >> thank you very much, kyle. $900 now. see if the rest of our guests will be so generous. >> or our viewers. >> only have an hour left. >> you are shaking in your shoes, aren't you?

discover your cat's true nature. purina one. >> welcome back. ottis mobley jr. assaulted a federal agent. tried to bay grenade launcher and killed a man during a drug deal. what's his punishment? reading and writing book reports. joining us to weigh in on this is defense attorney arthur idol. arthur, you are taking the defense on this. you think it's okay for this guy to have to write a book report? >> are we allowed to venture in the area of the truth here. >> why not? >> the truth is this is not his ultimate punishment. this is what has to happen while they are waiting for the case to go to trial. this is his bail package. so like everyone else, you go in front of a judge, whether in state without or federal court. you hear the charges, judge i'm afraid is he going to flee. the defense attorney says no, judge, is he not going anywhere. in this particular case the guy doesn't travel or have a passport. family was there and said they would watch him. they agreed for him to wear electronic bracelet. >> what's the problem here. >> the problem is whenever you are setting bail there is two things you have to worry about. whether the defendant is a flight risk, which he clearly is because if he is found guilty he is going to go away for a long time and whether is he a danger to the community. he killed a drug dealer, he beat up a federal agent and tried to buy a grenade launcher, this guy should be sitting in jail. here is my question to the judge. what kind of light reading is going to change this guy around? >> rehabilitation process. >> wait a minute. writing a book report, arthur? you are laughing while you are saying t t. >> in federal court, versus state court. even though the sentence is appear more harsh, in federal court. the judges are very likely to allow people to flee -- to not flee to go out on bail. you know why? because the united states of america has the resources to find somebody like this. the first time they use a credit card an easy pass, anything that identifies them. they find them like this. the electronic bracelet program, and his family support, the judge says you are going to stay home. the government is not going to pay for you to sit in jail. >> you are making the argument he shouldn't even be sitting out any i. with a. he shouldn't be sitting there doing book reports because he killed someone he should be behind bars. >> he is not going to be tried for that in this case. he should be behind bars. [ applause ] >> get credit for telling the truth on tv. >> arthur i will bring you ankle monitor next time i see you. take you three seconds to get that baby off. yes, it is. >> the fbi, the cia secret service. the resources of the united states of america to grab this guy. >> maybe get him for not returning a library book in this case. >> we already tried. we here at "fox & friends" have tried to put ankle bracelet on arthur. >> and also my ankles are fat. >> arthur has given a lot of money to the wounded warriors project. we have the tough mudder competition out on the plaza. jonah has mentioned to me we raised $900 to get me to go through this course. jonah is putting up $500 to the wounded warriors. >> raise 9. >> i will put up an even 6. we only need 500 more. >> 500 more for the wounded warriors project to get me to do it. >> help us out. everyone is getting involved here. the viewers are all over it. we are way past 2,000. >> oh, awesome. >> i want hard numbers. >> thanks, guys. coming up on the show the energy department's loan program back in the spotlight for giving green energy companies your tax dollars. the question at hand, did politics play a role congressman mike kelly weighs in on that coming up. maybe the congressman will give the money. you know the saying you are what you eat? it's apparently true. new study says organic food buying can make you a jerk. we'll explain at the top of the hour. what does eating processed food make you? ♪ i've worked hard to build my family. and also to build my career. so i'm not about to always let my frequent bladder urges, or the worry my pipes might leak get in the way of my busy lifestyle. that's why i take care, with vesicare. once-daily vesicare can help control your bladder muscle and is proven to treat overactive bladder with sympts of frequent urges and leaks day and night. if you have certain stomach or glaucoma problems, or trouble emptying your bladder, do not take vesicare. vesicare may cause allergic reactions that may be serious. if you experience swelling of the face, lips, throat or tongue, stop taking vesicare and get emergency help. tell your doctor right away if you have severe abdominal pain, or become constipated for three or more days. vesicare may cause blurred vision, so use caution while driving or doing unsafe tasks. common side effects are dry mouth, constipation, and indigestion. i've worked hard to get to where i am... and i've got better aces to go than always going to the bathroom. so take charge of your symptoms by talking to your doctor and go to vesicare.com for a free trial offer. great! tyler here will show you everything. check out our new mobile app. now you can use your phone to scan your car's vin or take a picture of your license. it's an easy way to start a quote. watch this -- flo, can i see your license? no. well, all right. thanks. okay, here we go. whoa! no one said "cheese." progressive mobile -- insurance has never been easier. get a free quote today. my feet and exactly where i needed more support. i had tired, achy feet. until i got my number. my dr. scholl's custom fit orthotics number. now i'm a believer. you'll be a believer, too. learn where to find your number at drscholls.com. the blind chinese dissident who sent off a firestorm on his way to newark, new jersey this morning. how will he be received the details breaking straight ahead. >> her push to mandate birth control outraged catholic church. that can explain this reaction to kathleen sebelius when she showed up at georgetown university's commencement.

>> perhaps. >> a little distracted right now by this whole mudder thing. >> issue with the study is the idea you are buying this organic food to dave's point you take it home and eat it. buy it and standing in line judging people who aren't buying the organic food. >> you said did you that you go to the store and buy your child all the organic stuff which tends to be a little build more expensive. you big bucks here on the curvey couch. >> why skimp on things that are about your body's health, right? we are the only country in the world spend less on our take home pay on food than other countries do. get food not filled can chemicals. standing there at check out line and you want to eat healthy. dave disagrees with me. >> this was actually a study, people. they actually studied it. they broke down the psychology of people that choose organic foods. this is from a psychology professor not from us. quote: there is something about being exposed to organic food that made these people feel better about themselves. and that made them kind of jerks. a little bit, i guess. what happened is the folks that chose the organic foods seemed to be more judgmental of people and their quality and what they are doing and why they do it because largely organic foods are sold with a moral argument. you know,. >> like the names of certain foods like honest tea is an organic tea but it makes you somehow feel like you are being more honest with yourself because you are drinking that tea with that name. >> i know a lot of immoral people that buy organic. >> you eat organic food, right? >> i don't go out of my way. >> you don't? >> whatever. >> you care about your health. but i mean i don't think we stand in judgment of other people because they are eating poor food for their health. >> do you judge people when they are in front of you and go through the supermarket line guy says paper or plastic and they say whatever or plastic? >> no. i'm a whatever guy on that, too. but that's one of the things in the argument, also, that those people who are asked to bring their own bags are also in a judgment. >> i always laugh of people when i see them walking in with their own bags. >> i do that from time to time. >> my wife brings her own bags. don't laugh at her. >> really? >> twitter. help us donate to wounded warriors. all right? >> i wonder what it's up to now, clayton, i think you are going to be doing this course. >> keep it coming. next on the run down though, the government use your tax dollars to fund green energy companies. was it all for nothing? >> people who can't make their house payments, can't make their car payments. can't put food on the table. can't educate their kids we are find out that we're pouring money down an open hole and the chief executive officer is bailed out. >> that fired up lawmaker following the paper trail. congressman mike kelly here next. >> this is what happens' when you try to get jigy with will smith. details on this reporter smackdown coming up. watch the smack in the face. there you go. >> making out. >> security wake up! that's good morning, veggie style. hmmm. fohalf the calories plus vgie nutrition. could've had a v8. so i test... a lot. do you test with this?

pope line is the hard working american taxpayers need to know and be told the truth about where their money is going. i keep hearing about we have got to make these risks and investments, quite frankly the money they are pouring the money into are venture capitalists. once they get that money they cut bait and run. a only people still left with money in the game is the american taxpayers. important for people to understand look there is great science out there. way ahead of the market. it's not affordable. the government has gamed it in a way that you have to buy 20%. a lot of these areas you have to buy 20% of your power fromee niewbles. they are forcing a market on the public. driving their energy costs up. we keep pouring billions of dollars in. we see nothing in a positive return on that investment for american taxpayers. that's where i think with our committee. we are saying please stop wasting taxpayer money at a time when we are borrowing 40 cents on every dollar we spent and pouring it down an open hole it doesn't make sense to me. >> so far congressman, $16 billion in loans have been guaranteed to 26 solar firms that includes, of course, solyndra. is there something behind those loans in your opinion? is there a particular reason why these particular companies are chosen beyond being the best technology? >> well, i mean, technology, best technology for what. there is a lot of great technology out there. science is always -- innovation has always been the hallmark of american entrepreneurship. you go with technology available to the market today. not for this hope and dream that you have some time in the future quite frankly right now is not affordable. >> got politics at play. is that your suggestion? >> of course, there is always politics at play. when you look at the trail. the paper trail that leaves meetings up as far as the white house and the vice president, these folks going in talking to them and telling them how difficult it is for them and how much they need to support and the president says in the state of the union all the times listen we are going for all of the above and discounts all the below. the emphasis is on green technology, which is very expensive right now and away from fossils which are affordable, accessible and abundant. why are we doing this to american taxpayers. these guys are great guys, venture capitalists. they invest and invest for one reason to make money. when they see they are not going to make money they bail out. look at some of the ceos they took $2 billion out and ran with it they took their money and ran and left the taxpayer money in. >> the ceo how are talking about from first solar actually was testifying there. weighs one of the individuals who actually sold stock options $400 million of his personal stock in recent years. the question is did he do that on the back of taxpayers? what do you say? what did he say in those hearings that made you -- way swayed you one way or the other. >> what he said is what i would expect any smart investor to say the market was tanking. i decided to get out. company stock trading at $303. when i looked the other day it was below $15 a share. the american taxpayers don't have that ability to cut and run. they are in it for the long run. whether this thing makes it or doesn't make it. they are still in it why are we taking money and risking it? taxpayer money? this is not private individuals' money. they couldn't get funded in the open market. so what they do is go to the government. the government hangs out this carrot. they go after it. and then they bail. when they see the markets tanking. he did what any smart investor would do. we you are not able to do as taxpayers and not say hey, whoa, timeout. get me out of this market. i'm losing too much. that's what we have to do. >> thank you, it sounds like maybe some strings need to be attached to those government dollars. maybe you can't cash out your stock. congressman mike kelly thanks for being with us. we appreciate it? >> fellows, thanks a lot. nice to be with you. >> look at this man, he steal as car with a kid in the backseat. all caught on tape. you won't believe the great move that the boy made. details on that straight ahead. >> drop that candy bar. new study says sugar is making you stupid. really?

droid does. droid with color for facebook. it's the ultimate status update. get a droid razr maxx by motorola for only $199.99. >> red wine drinkers and people who like sugar. new studies show that these things may have some surprising health benefits. if you are into the sweets, we're going to start with that apparently you may be in trouble. sugar can make you stupid? is that what we are hearing about this? >> juliet, this is high fructose corn syrup that we have in a lot of our beverages and prepared foods. what they did is they took at ucla they took rats and taught them a maize and fed them this high fructose corn syrup six weeks later they didn't remember the maize unless they gave them fish oil. they suddenly remembered the maize. talking rats, number one. i don't think finance f. it's going to work in humans. i want people out there to know that sugar is really important for the brain. that's how the brain works. but if you give the wrong kind of sugar. it signals insulin the wrong way and you may get foggy and lose your memory. i think there is something here. but we have got to test this in humans. >> a little more research. wine has the same advantages as yogurt. >> we are always trying to like wine. wine has polyfeign pole phenyls antioxidants. helps digestion. it lowered blood pressure and lowered cholesterol. if you are drinking a glass of wine there may be some real benefits here. i actually believe that it increased the good bacteria in the stomach when you have wine. >> here is the caveat here though. a glass of wine. we're not talking about the bottle of wine. we're talking about the glass of wine. >> because. >> big difference. >> exactly because the alcohol itself is bad for your stomach. so the polyfeign nells that may be good for your stomach. looked at huge amount of people and found they lived a little bit longer if they were coffee drinksers. why that is important. we always think coffee is bad for you that it raises blood pressure. >> caffeine. >> raises cholesterol. we are starting to find out in more and more studies it has benefits. may decrease your risk of certain kinds of cancer. may have antioxidant properties as well. now we are finding that a huge group actually lived a little longer of the that's not proof that coffee will make you live longer but if you are a coffee drinker the way i am, the way you are. >> yeah. >> maybe we will live a little longer as long as we don't go on these obstacle courses. >> i'm double healthy, drinking coffee and having a lot of sugar in it. >> that's bad. >> you said good for your brain. >> no sugar or cream in this coffee. >> just testing you. always good to see. >> you great to see you. if you go on the obstacle course i'm going to help you. >> i'm not going to gone 00 obstacle course. i have plans after the show. if they would have asked me yesterday. clayton will be doing it. i have a feeling. are you going to do it snonchts. >> man in smack. actor will smith laying the smackdown on a reporter. this guy from ukraine. he was very kissy. see what caused him to go off. haven't joe biden fueling the claims of class warfare. >> dreamed as much as any rich guy dreams. >> absolutely. they don't get us. >> people want to hear governor mike huckabee will weigh in on that. and the tough mudder coming up. >> go ahead, juliet. i was going to say kyle olson who we saw earlier pledged $500 wounded warrior project to have you, -- there is anna getting ready some of kyle's friends on facebook paul and ryan are they are going to going to donate. i think you are pretty much going to be doing this? >> jumping around like a monkey. >> i don't know what. >> anna coyman is about to do the tough mudder competition. all benefits wounded warriors. >> she is doing call less citizen knicks. >> she needs to save herring energy. >> cold water gets you. >> run marathons. >> anna clearly is the fitness one. you know, we all exercise. look. i'm seeing if for the first time. guy not get over the wall on the first effort. >> it's not a race. you guys did it as a team. that's what i like. we decided we would wait for each other after each of the obstacles so we could go through together. >> i like that. >> great guys buddy brian over here who did this so incredibly well. inspired me. take a look at your weather picture quickly. couple things going on. picture coming from florida very nice sunrise picture appreciate that coming in from ocklawala i think i'm saying that right. nice day in store today. maybe a shower or two running across that area. right now weaker up about 66 degrees. put them on my facebook page. quickly take a look at forecast for the day. around the northeast spectacular day talking about temperatures in the 70s and 80's. and a ton of sunshine. so it's going to be a great one. down to the southeast, we'll see few of those showers around the carolinas, maybe in towards the florida area as well then we are going to see temps pretty nice, humid though feeling like summer. severe weather today might see a tornado or two especially around kansas and nebraska. rain showers in the dakotas. out to the west very nice. ton of sunshine from the pacific northwest down to the southwest. dave for you we are going to be looking at temps when you do the tough mudder into the 60's. nicer than the mid 50s when i did it. >> money is rolling in. >> speaking of the tough mudder, rick, good news, if clayton goes we talked about raising $2,000 for wounded warriors. steve does is is pledging. >> tony put up $100. >> i matched 100. >> raise $2,000 for wounded warriors i will do the tough mudder competition. >> we have blown it out of the water by thousands. >> kyle on earlier they are all facebooking. >> just donated 2 grand. >> steve does it if you go. these are contingent upon you going. >> i'll do it. >> keep it coming. first the headlines. this is going to be fantastic. renewed vigor today. we begin with a fox news alert. we are getting brand new video. frightening story out of italy where a bomb exploded out of a high school this morning. it killed a girl farge and left several others fighting for their lives. investigators say no coincidence the school is named after falcone, a prosecutor who worked to take down the mob there in italy before they killed him and his wife in a similar blast exactly 20 years ago this weekend. the confessed mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks and four alleged accomplices could be facing separate trials. a military judge said to be proposing to split up the defendants because of the difficulty in scheduling hearings for the five men and their lawyers. the judge also questioning if one trial would create issues with evidence. that could potentially hurt one defendant but then maybe help another. the next hearing is scheduled for june but attorneys for some of the defendants have asked for a postponement. surveillance video catches a thief in denver as he tried to steal this car from a liquor store parking lot. the only problem is there is a 10-year-old boy inside. the kid eventually jumps out and then he runs to tell mom. luckily he only suffered some bruises and cuts. >> don't get fresh with the fresh prince of blair. watch will smith slap down a ukrainian reporter after the guy tries to plant a smooch on the star. >> what is your problem? >> come on, what the hell is your problem. >> understated. man. >> what is so bad about that. >> because he was trying to punk will smith. >> no he wasn't. >> it wasn't custom. >> how do you know that? maybe there is. >> if i tried to land one on you i would. >> smith obviously was caught off guard men in black three in moscow. >> reporter involved excuse me the tv personality and his schtick is kissing celebrities. >> he is not borat. >> is he not insulting celebrities. >> barron cohen. >> that's part of huck huckabee's new stick. >> you wouldn't be cool with that. >> if i kissed anybody on othe set it won't be either of you two guys, okay? >> i like you a lot but i'm not going there. >> neither am i. >> let's talk some politics this week. there was an interesting story that broke late this week on the front page of the names as it related to a super pac ache ad crafted that might be used that polled president -- pulled president obama and reverend wright back into the fray like 2008 all over again. mitt romney told the super pac don't do it. we want to rise above this. don't do it. was that a mistake should he? >> it was the right thing for romney to do because is he able to take the high road and say religion is off the table that's good news for romney that way if somebody tries to bring up his faith and some might try to do that he will say, look, i thought religion was off the table. having said that let me tell you, romney can't control what a super pac does, can he ask them, tell them, demand and scream and yell and take the high road. i will promise you between now and november, you are going to see some stuff that romney won't approve. he won't be happy about with you there is not a dog geologic thing. >> john mccain make made a major mistake keeping this off the table. if mitt romney were to do it now, could it possibly help him at all. the folks he needs are independents. they are not going to be moved by a reverend wright argue. are they. >> reverend wright is not that big of issue. the big issue really would be the words of obama himself in his book. those are far more incendiary toward obama gels the fact you have a four year record now as president. that's a lot more than something he might have heard and we know from the new book that's out he didn't go to church that much anyway. he could say hey i wasn't there. those 51 out of 52 sundays when he was staying that stuff. >> we have been talking about taking the temperature of both campaigns and seeing where they are in this process and how it's interesting to see sort of the dichotomy. you have mitt romney who releases first general election ad and day one what i would do if i were elected keystone pipeline and things like that. moving forward. then you have, you know, conversely you have the obama campaign with the attack ads and going after vice president. which is going to resonate more with americans at this point. >> i thought the romney ad was brilliant for one particular phrase. they said on day one president romney. they kept repeating the phrase president romney. conditioning people to think huh, president romney keystone, getting rid of obama care. things that made sense it elevated to presidential level. i thought it was brilliant ad. >> obama campaign cease this as an opportunity for the next two months to basically frame mitt romney for the american people who don't know him yet. they are out there trying to frame who he is to the american people. here's vice president biden talking about the republic position will this wash. we will get the governor's take. >> i resent the fact that they think we're talking about we're envy it's job envy, wealth envy. we don't dream. >> saying basically the romney camp is saying the middle class doesn't have dreams. do you buy that argument. >> that's pretty stupid. you don't know me, dude, i'm the first male in my entire family lineage that graduated from high school much less went to college. i'm one generation away dirt floors and no electricity in imponched south arkansas. he wants to tell me about coming out of nowhere. i would love to have joe biden on the stage. let me have about 15 minutes and let's talk about where we have come from. folks there are republicans all over america who have worked their tails off who get where they are. >> against joe biden vice presidential. >> that's not going to ham. i just thought it was a ridiculously stupid thing for the vice president to go out there and try to light up the democrats because i will tell you what he has done. he has lit up republics who have worked hard to get where they are, small business owners who resent that kind of let i can that's being employed to make it like only democrats have dreams. >> all right, the governor not vice president yet sticking around. up next, a high school facing a $15,000 fine, why? because they sell soda. and junk food. we'll explain. >> plus, it's time to get muddy. you saw rick do it. now anna coyman is taking on the challenge. practicing. >> oh, boy. get off her back. yes, you can. >> she is just testing it out. look it. she is not being a wimp. >> she is just toying with that wall. u.s. bank let's get the wheels turning. use our strength & stability to open new opportunities. to lend, and lift ...every business...every dream... to new heights of prosperity. good things are happening. just look up. with u.s. bank. there's another way to help erase litter box odor. purina tidy cats. only tidy cats has new odor erasers... making it ea to keep things at home... just the way you want them. new tidy cats with odor erasers.

don't know what that says. >> dave: more from the wounded warriors and tough mother competition throughout the next hour when clayton and i compete. we begin with the fox news alert because president obama is set to hold opening remarks at camp david any minute now on the g8 summit. hi, juliet. >> hello, peter doocy is going to tell us about it, live in washington. hey, pete. >> reporter: hello, we're waiting to hear from president obama any minute, some short welcoming remarks at camp david before a morning full of meetings on economic and global issues with the leaders of the other g8 nations, canada, france, germany, italy, japan and russia and the u.k. and now there's also talk about afghanistan's economy and the economies of the middle east and north africa before most of the leaders head out to chicago, for the n.a.t.o. summit this weekend. at a working dinner, everyone was dressed down. iran was the magic topic of conversation, ahead of a major summit in baghdad. a white house official tells us that quote, the g8 affirmed the importance of having a unified effort in approaching these baghdad talks next week and continued to underscore a commitment to a dual track process in which we seek a diplomatic resolution to the situation in iran. now, syria was discussed at the dinner last night and russia hasn't yet publicly placed any blame for the violence there on the syrian government which kind of flies in the face of what the white house has been saying for months which is that the syrian president assad should step down, but the white house tells us that specific regime was not discussed last night, rather, j us a need for an overall transition and there were a few light moments, it wasn't all business, like when france's new president alan was the only one who showed up wearing a tie and the president sees him a little bit and they start talking about serious things, back to you. >> he said it's press, and nervous how his press would react, thank you, peter, appreciate it. >> that's right. >> interesting how it sets up at the g8. they want to push, instead of the awusterity measures, they want to push growth and stimulus, kind of like how obama versus romney in the campaign and maybe president obama sees more ally in the new french president alliance with president obama's belief system not just austerity how he won the election over there by the way. the vice-president's remarks catching a lot on fire, talking about the rich and focusing this debate now between the rich and the middle class. and the have's and the have notes. mitt romney maybe not getting in the mud so to speak, and went in front of a bridge yesterday. which was empty, abandoned. falling apart. which was supposed to be a symbol of the stimulus money well spent by the obama administration, so it's still sitting in the ruins, listen to mitt romney. >> borrowed 787 billion dollars and said if we were allowing-- as congress allowed him to borrow that kind of money that he would hold unemployment below 8% and hasn't been below 8% since. that's just outrageous yeah, but we put in place a full series of elements that are critical to the future of america, and you've got one behind us right there. that's what they're saying, this is the bridge to nowhere if there was one. that's his stimulus dollars at work. the bridge that goes nowhere. >> the sawyer bridge. the white house arguing look, we didn't give enough in stimulus money, there wasn't enough on the projects and therefore some of the money wasn't doled out properly and have infrastructure projects that need repair. >> that's a problem. whether or not there was money and he say, well, it wasn't doled out. still, that's a problem. >> clayton: jobs at the heart of this. how does that create jobs fixing one bridge. is that a government job that goes away, a shovel-ready prnlg that never was, these are the arguments. >> dave: and the main guy behind the stimulus, trying to sell it on the stump was of course joe biden. he's not talking stimulus, perhaps that didn't work well. and now he's turned to that battle against the rich. listen. >> i recent the fact that they think we're talking about envy, it's job envy, it's wealth envy, that we don't dream. my mother believed and my father believed that if i wanted to be president of the united states, i could be, i could be vice-president. my mother and father believed that if my brother or sister wanted to be a millionaire, they could be a millionaire. my mother and father dreamed as much as any rich guy dreams. >> look, i said yesterday and i'll say it more calmly today, i don't think these guys understands us, and i'm included us because we come from the same kind of background, and we weren't poor, i wasn't joe biden come out of the mines in scranton with a lunch bucket in my hand, just a normal middle class kid with a father with a middle class education and worked like hell. >> and then you have mitt romney releases his first general election ad, called day one, and you know, pretty much everybody you talk to says it's a fairly effective ad, and listen. the first day after being elected when he finally takes office. >> this is what governor huckabee was saying, the pipeline. >> saying that president romney over and over and over again sets the tone for what framing mitt romney as the president, so it's effective ad. >> dave: we want to mention we're awaiting the president' remarks in camp david at g8 summit and take it in his entirety, and hoping that the measures that he's taking here in the united states have worked and this is why you should take them abroad and they would say that the stimulus did work, just look at our unemployment rate and it depends upon how you see this recent jobs data. because on one hand, only 16 states have now gained jobs under the obama administration. and so, it appears that some of these stimulus activities may have not worked, again, depending how you see it, clayton. >> right, and then the unemployment in other states going down in 22 states, dropping below 7%, so, by all accounts. that's great for the obama administration, these two out of every three states saw unemployment drop and the worst offender, california had the highest unemployment problem. but the states that where you saw a lot of growth and drop in unemployment, arguably are areas that are outside of the federal issue right now. which is texas. you have a lot of oil and gas jobs being-- >> you have less regulation. >> less regulation, indiana, north dakota, so, can the administration argue that they've been great for ohio? or can governor kasich say look, we cut regulation in ohio and that's why we're seeing unemployment go down. >> or can governor rick perry say because we have jobs and-- >> everybody a going to want to take this. let's get to headlines and what's about to happen to you, the end of the hour. >> we're thinking about it. >> oh, you

great. i'm freaked out by the wookie on a bicycle. >> dave: i thought it was an ewok, but it's an ooh wookie. i'm glad that you've broken it down for us. let's talk about the interesting dynamic. mitt romney said no super pac, let's stay away from reverend wright. obama campaign makes for the time at bain capital. the administration accepted a lot of money from bain capital. almost mitt romney since 2007. is that something they should be doing all the while talking bad about his time there? >> look, i mean, i think it's unavoidable that they're going to make bain capital into an issue, right? the obama people are trying to do the same thing to romney that the bush people tried to do to kerry, take what the kerry people thought was the strongest issue and turn it into a weakness. trying to take romney's strongest issue in the private sector and turn it into a weakness, what bothers me the incredible double standard. i understand why romney doesn't want to be aassociated with the attacks jeremiah wright and this biblical piece, and buzzy nugget in it how mitt romney may have bullied some kid, 52 years ago. and yet, everyone says that jeremiah wright not vetted not discussed by a vast swath of the news stream media, would be outrageous and disgusting to make him part of a campaign issue, i find that bizarre. >> clayton: you almost sound surprised by this. you've been around long enough to know. the swift boat attack ads and the swift boat ads and trying to dig through that. and the whole rickets ad and brought to being to the floor. why don't we see it on the

mainstream media how they're such cheerleaders for obama in 2008 that they really don't like the idea of opening up the pandora's box and reminding people how much they were in the tank in 2008. the stuck with obama's literary agent being a birther, and saying that obama was born in kenya. i'm not a birther, i think that obama was born in hawaii, but goes to show how the press sort of ignored that stuff and ignored jeremiah wright, ignored obama's own biography. and i think that in some ways, what they're trying to say we did nothing wrong, nothing to see here, let's put all of our attention on romney how mean he was 52 years ago in high school. >> should be interesting given that narrative how mitt romney plays it whether he shows some passion and anger. jonah goldberg from the

as long as you don't break anything. >> this is by the way, the largest gathering whatever of international leaders at camp david and i'm glad that we could have arranged for good weather. last night, we had a chance to discuss some court issues that affect our common security and i want to say that we are unified when it comes to our an i proech with-- approach with iran. i think we all agree iran has the right to peaceful nuclear pow power, but international rules and norms and its inability thus far to convince the world community it's not pursuing the weaponization of nuclear power is something of grave concern to all of us. we are hopeful about the discussions that will be taking in baghdad, but all of us are committed to firmly continuing with the approach of sanctions and pressure in combination with diplomatic discussions and our hope is that we can resolve this issue in a peaceful fashion that respects iran's sovereignty and its rights in the international community, but also recognizes its responsibilities. we had a discussion about syria and we all believe that a peaceful resolution and political transition in syria is preferable. we are all deeply concerned about the violence that's taken place there and the loss of life. we are supportive of the annan plan, but we agreed and expect this will be reflected in our communique that the annan plan has to be fully implemented and that a political process has to move forward in a more timely fashion to resolve that issue. we also have a chance to discuss the situation north korea. all of us agree that north korea's violating its international obligations and that there is a path for them to rejoin the international community, but that path is not going to be -- or that objective will not be achieved if they continue with the provocative actions that they have shown over the last several months. and on a brighter note, we had the opportunity to discuss burma and all of us are hopeful that the political process and transition, transformation that is beginning to take place there takes root. many of us have i can at thatten action to open up, trade and investment with burma for the first time in many years and we've had discussions with the leadership there. our hope is that this process will continue and we're going to do everything we can to encourage that process. finally, we had a brief discussion around the issue of women's empowerment where we've agreed that both when it comes to economic development and when it comes to peace and security issues, empowering women to have a seat at the table and go et more engaged and involved in these processes can be extraordinarily fruitful and this is something that we will also be introducing during the g-20. so, i want to thank the leaders, despite the fact that those coming from across the atlantic ended up staying up i guess until six in the morning their time, the discussions were very fruitful this morning, we're going to be spending a lot of time on economic issues. obviously, the euro zone will be one topic and all of us are absolutely committed to making sure that both growth and stability and fiscal c consolidation are part of a package in order for prosperity that we're all looking for. we're also talking about uncertainty in the energy markets and how we can help to resolve some of those issues and we'll be spending time talking about the development, the middle east, north africa and our capacity to sustain economic development in afghanistan, obviously, in chicago during the n.a.t.o. meeting we'll spend more time talking about security, security matters, but here we want to make sure that we recognize the need for afghanistan to be able to sustain a development agenda moving forward as we begin the transition out of war. so, again, i want it thank all the leaders for being here and so far, this has been a frank and useful conversation and it gives me great optimism about our ability to meet the challenges in the future, all right? thank you very much, everybody. >> thank you. >> that of course is president obama at the meeting of the g8 at camp david. much more casual than the typical
