pigs are getting the okay for emotional support. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ . >> alisyn: so you went last night to-- >> i thought that was a pink floyd, a massive pig in yankee stadium. >> dave: for real. >> alisyn: wow. >> clayton: i'm getting the coffee. >> alisyn: we can long imagine what went on at the concert. >> clayton: a hundred degrees because most of the east coast was baking. >> alisyn: and let's talk about the jobs numbers. the jobs report came out, anemic, 80,000 added in the month of june, but now, there's more information that we have for you this morning to couple, to fill out the picture and that was that 85,000 people left the work force and applied for disability, permanent disability, social security disability from the government. >> dave: if you're hoping our update was going to make you feel more uplifted this sunday morning, not so much. so, you know, i used to question when you look at the numbers, the more people went on disability, than were actual jobs in our economy, do you wonder is this an unfortunately consequence of the economy or something greater behind it, are the qualifications easier or people are encouraged to go on social security disability? why the drastic increase? >> and how much into this unemployed number we have been talking about, 5.4 million individuals long-term unemployed and the president yesterday on the campaign trail in ohio and pennsylvania, sees this though as a step in the right direction. >> we learned that our business created 84,000 new jobs last month and that overall means that businesses created 4.4 million new jobs over the past 28 months, including 500,000 new manufacturing jobs. that's a step in the right direction. [applause] >> that's a step in the right direction. >> alisyn: so the number of new enrollees to disability went up 19% higher than the jobs added. so, obviously, there is a big sort of discrepancy and an imbalance i should say in this chort. >> dave: this goes back to 2009, and kind of gives you the trajectory of where these two are headed which brings up my point. why the drastic increase since 2009? is it easier now to go on social security disability? are people encouraged more or strictly because there are no jobs now, people are more and more considering that as an option for them and that we're finding the labor participation of course is a 30 year low, that's part of the reason right there. >> or is it part of the baby boomer problem, which 2009 marked that front page time magazine cover i think, where it showed bill clinton as the new baby boomer and that baby boomer generation now beginning to retire and a lot of social security disability is younger folks and it's not the older generations of americans. it's the younger generation of folks who are going off disability. >> alisyn: and assisted by the government if you cannot do work that you did before and the employment. and not adjust to other work because of your medical condition. you have to have a medical condition, that's the-- >> sure. >> alisyn: your disability is lasted or expected to last for at least one year. those are the qualifications and those are sort of vague and maybe you can make the case if you've been out of work that you actually are, with your medical condition, disabled and not going to find other work. >> dave: nothing about our economy would suggest that there are decreased medical conditions of people today in 2012 than there were in 2008, 2009. so, again, why? why all of this? ask being encouraged, are people being encouraged to go on the government handout? i don't know. >> we're going to-- yeah, we're going to have john tamney on the show and get his take on the latest. >> dave: that's a good idea. >> clayton: he studies this stuff inside and out and maybe have hem weigh in on this and i'm pretty cynical. anytime i hear big government is going to add new bureaucracy and outreach programs to help them understand tlar programs, i become cynical. that's what they're doing in the irs. because of the health care law held up as constitutional by the supreme court, the irs is going to be adding hundreds and hundreds of agents that are going to basically police health care in your state and help you understand it as well. >> alisyn: the government will play a bigger roles in our life and if there's one issue that has bipartisan support, that both parties are calling for, it is to simplify the tax code. that's what you have heard from both parties, that's what they think needs to be done. and now, of course-- >> see why i'm cynical. >> alisyn: with the affordable care act and increase in irs agents having to police the businesses, and individuals, who decide to opt out of the insurance, it won't be more simple. it will be adding more people and more documents, more paper work, more codes. >> which doesn't exactly make the governor of maine a happy person. listen. >> this decision has made america less free. we, the people, have been told there is no choice. you must buy health insurance or pay the new gestapo, the irs. >> dave: he went on to say he will not go ahead and begin to implement the obama care, the affordable care act, as a couple of other republican governors have said, they're going to wait until after the election to start making the changes, to start putting up some exchanges, but to your point, simplifying the tax code is what both parties agree on. there are already more than 10 or 20,000 more pages to our tax code because of obama care even though it hasn't fully been inmrimented yet. >> alisyn: you glossed over one word. >> dave: gestapo. >> alisyn: the head of the democratic party in maine said that's over the top and that's enough. and haven't politicians learned that nazi references, nazi analogies get in trouble. unless people are a nazi don't call them a nazi. >> clayton: and knocking on the door and taking people off to concentration camps. >> dave: if it hadn't been gestapo, would it have gotten your attention? no, i'm not in favor of nazi imagery, sometimes politician have to use these words to get their point across. >> alisyn: things they do. >> dave: case in point, alan west coming up on the program who says the government wants you to be economic slaves, i'll ask him about that later in the program. are some of the words harmful or attention. >> clayton: and what does it do to the families that actually dealt with slavery in their past. >> alisyn: or the holocaust. in life, drink a beer, what the president decided he should do in ohio, pennsylvania, he has been seen stopping at various watering holes and ordering beers of the middle class. he's had a miller light. he's had a budweiser. >> vetted, right? i mean. >> planned by the campaign. >> of course it is, they probably roll upo a-- maybe they haven't, maybe this is purely, i'm going to order whatever is on the tap. this is run through some sort of political committee, isn't it? we are going to roll into this town, a local brewery we should buy over the other. remember the whole thing with the beer summit at the white house, what beer should we get at the beer summit? there it is. sam adams. >> yeah. >> well, yeah, i think whether it's cookies or whether it's, you know, the local brewery or soda, you do have to pander a bit when you travel about the country. now, the beer thing i'm not sure, because i believe that someone bought him a miller light and it looked when it was turn for him to pick he went for the bud light. i've analyzed this. >> alisyn: really. >> clayton: we talk about outsourcing jobs, let's not dive into this too much, but what does it say. seriously, this is an issue, right. >> alisyn: bipartisan. >> clayton: a lot of the big beer companies are no longer onned by american companies. >> dave: not coors not miller. >> alisyn: what says america more, what says i'm a man of the people more than budweiser. maybe an american beer. >> alisyn: like-- >> budweiser is not an american beer, not own by an american company. >> dave: belgium. miller would be south africa. >> alisyn: right? >> what did you have last newt? >> at yankee stadium, it was hard to find a good beer. and ying ling. >> dave: i knew i remembered you-- >> in pennsylvania, oldest brewery m america. >> dave: and one of the best. we could reveal our preferences. >> clayton: i had to dig hard for it. >> alisyn: and a developing story overnight, an alleged milita militant sneaking into the olympic park and reports he may have been plotting some kind of homicide bombing either at the game or elsewhere in london. his name is being released. he's been arrested before, and wearing an electronic monitoring advice and saw him entering the park five times in one day, the second terrorist suspect arrested in london this past week and told he's one of the dangerous. and another great white coming close to a beach in cape cod, massachusetts. if you don't believe us, first of all, we would not lie, but you can see the fin a few feet behind the kayaker, and he high tailed it back unharmed, but the beach vaekd and shut down the rest of the day. the fourth shark spotted in the area in the past week. yeah, i don't like that. the 9/11 memorial museum is in a battle and families are deened making that the federal government take control. right now mayor bloomberg shares the foundation which runs this locked in a financial dispute with the port authority. in response, all construction has been delayed. those in favor of a takeover said they need the national park service to operate and manage the memorial. those opposed say it would be an insult to the foundation. country car blake shelton honors our brave men and women in the military with a special gift. ♪ ♪ >> shelton kicking off the jc penney new campaign, with a one million dollar donation to the us 0: the 36-year-old now serves as ambassador. ♪ >> the us ocho (applause) >> veterans, my brother was in the army and it's near and dear to my heart. >> alisyn: put a mic on that guy. and you can help raise money, j.c. penney will donate $1 for the four square operation. >> dave: blake shelton. >> clayton: that show. >> dave: on the voice. one of the briggs family favorite shows. >> alisyn: they spin around. ad. >> clayton: based on the voice. >> dave: and meanwhile, over 3000 athletes from across the nation and the world are gathered right here in new york city this morning, and the 12th annual new york city triathlon. >> clayton: when there's anything athletic involved we send rick reichmuth out there to partake so we don't have to. >> dave: to watch. he doesn't participate. >> clayton: hey, rick. >> rick: absolutely partake-- good, this is a good reminder that we are all a little bit lazy when you come out here and see all of these people who are incredible shape getting ready to jump in the hudson river. we are going to talk with two of our own about to do that in a second. the weather quickly, there's been so much weather going on, obviously the big heatwave and take a look at the heat maf. and it's improved. a big improvement to where we were yesterday at this time. 74 in chicago, 74 in chicago, and 63 in seattle. we will see an improvement in our conditions courtesy of big storms cutting through across parts of the mid atlantic and they will be bigger again this afternoon. as that front dives farther to the south. that means severe weather, but means behind it cooler temperatures and that is going to be a big relief for so many people. across the west, dealing with very heavy rain across areas of colorado. remember, and we had a fire two weeks ago, in colorado and it's been so dry. much needed relief in the form of heavy rain and a little bit of flooding and too much rain too quickly, but the good news is, they'll take it and your temperatures, 102 today in raleigh and so you just get through today and it's going to be better. if you're going to compete in the triathlon, you don't want it as hot as yesterday. i have cheryl casone and anna kooiman, you're about to go into the river. >> and this is my first olympic, i've got to go. >> all right, there you go. >> her heat is going right now. >> and we just checked on the current it's a fast current this year and we're expecting to fly down the hudson. that means if you're a bag of potato chips you can make it down the first leg in 15 minutes. >> a personal best record if you swim today in the eye that the lon. >> the hudson river have things like jellyfish occasionally a shark gets up here. >> first year i did the new york try al lon, i swallowed order, and when i got out, i was covered in oil, i didn't order the picture. >> and made it easier on the biking? >> it's going to be hot as you know, a few of us are nervous about the heat and humidity and everything and putting up extra water stations to get us ready because it's going to be a heck of a day today. >> i hear you said my first one. how many have you done. >> this is my third and my god better be the last and i can't do this anymore. >> why? >> it's a lot of, would, train for four months a lot of equipment working out six days a week and working hard for fox news and fox business, it's a lot to do. i think this is my last year. >> take me through what the triathlon is. >> we are going to swim behind us in the hudson, swim for a mile and then run out and 72nd. hop on the bikes, peel off the wet suit, and ride for 25 miles and take off the biking stuff and run to central park. >> good luck to you, i'm proud of you and jealous you have the guts and don't know that i do. >> next year, rick, next year, baby. >> go get em. >> bye, you guys. >> there. >> that's the start of the triathlon. >> clayton: that's in the hudson river. >> alisyn: that's impressive. cheryl has my vote, if we're voting for the winner. >> dave: we're wondering about the condition of the hudson river. we'd like a sample for the next hour. i just want to get-- >> well, here is-- oh, listen, as this winds down a little bit i'll give you an up close and personal. a little pier back here and all of the garbage backs up against that pier like sewage on one side and kind of a clean river on the other. >> wow. >> and video of cramer and the hudson. >> and cramer and the wet suit. >> clayton: all right. with our nation's unemployment rate at a stand still. hovering at 8.2%, 80,000 jobs created last month. is the economy taking a step in the right direction or or the president's policies failing. >> alisyn: our next guest says the numbers are worse than they appear. >> dave: joining us is the editor of real clear markets.com. good to see you. >> great to be here. >> dave: hey, we want to ask you about something we talked about a few moments ago, the more people in the month of june went on social security disability than were actual jobs created in the economy and the same holds true going back to 2009, 3.1 million versus 2.6 million, do you have the insight as to why the dramatic increase, and people are going on social security disability? >> your number is interesting, it helps to obscure the reason that unemployment is as low, has to do with em so workers leaving the work force with the participation rate declining, this has kept the number well, if the same number prevails in 2007 or 20 2000-- unemployment would be 11% or 13%, so i think your number describes workers getting discouraged and trying to get some sort of paycheck from the government. >> clayton: is it that easy to do, john? we talked about the qualitycations to get social security and benefit right now, you basically have to show you're unable to do the same level of work you were once able to do. does that sound like it falls in the disability category? >> it sounds, the problem of having a national program like this, it's a lot easier to go and claim that you don't have the skill necessary for today's work force and to say that you need some kind of relief for that, this is dangerous and this is very anti-growth, as we're pulling a lot of good able bodied people, i think, from the economy. >> alisyn: john, 80,000 jobs only created in june. is this sort of the summer slump or is something else going on here? >> i think it's not so much a summer slump as the obama administration and the federal government more broadly are creating something that's unnatural, high levels of unemployment. it's so basic, jobs are a cost and so when the government offers up 99 weeks of unemployment benefits, that raises the costs for employers, to lure workers back into the work force. and also, whatever your opinion of obama care, that's a substantial cost on business. and so, for businesses to have the incentive to get people back to work, they now know they have to pay that much more to hire someone that they're going to pay major health care costs. if the convenience store wants to sell goods, it lowers prices to where they come in and the high labor, the cost of hiring workers is way too much and this is caused by government. >> dave: how is that reversed? if in fact, extending unemployment benefits and passing obama care is holding job creation back theoretically shortening benefits and repealing obama care, what mechanisms could be put in place to get the economy moving? >> repeal would offer that certainty, suddenly businesses know it's not going to be so expensive to hire workers, if you talk to head hunters, they'll say that they get the most visits from potential workers when unemployment benefits are going to run out. you can remove those. when governments spends on their own, and let's face it, our federal government has been spending quite a bit in recent years, that's the government removing resources from the private sector and reducing government spending would be a huge stimulus, to me, the biggest answer has to do with investment. there are no jobs and there are no companies without investment. and the problem today is the obama administration is pursuing a weak dollar, but remember, investors are buying future dollar income streams so basically the obama administration is telling investors, if you commit capital to new jobs creating the companies, we will devalue your future returns. so, it's essential to reverse that, to go back to the reagan and clinton era of a strong dollar. if you do that, investment will rise and the job creation will soar e are you hearing enough from mitt romney? the question has been the past week, getting some criticism in the wall street journal and other places he's not giving enough details what he would do, to attack president obama, but put in place that would make wall street happy going forward. >> i must admit i'm kind of concerned about what you hear from romney, a story that he wants to get tough on china, that obama is not sufficiently tough. that itself is a comment from the romney administration that it will devalue the dollar, if that occurs, if we continue down that path you will not see the job creaks -- job creation expected. and i think it's extremely necessary for the romney administration to pull back on this, on intercountry brinksmanship, if it does not, if it pursues a cheap dollar the romney economic program will fail and unemployment will be very high during his presidency, too. >> alisyn: john tamny from real spirit markets.com. thanks for getting up early with us. >> thanks for having me on. >> dave: smoking, soda and dancing apparently is not allowed in new york city. watch out, you could be arrested for shaking it. this couple was. a dramatic rescue and also, on another note, all caught on camera. three people jumped in to save a man after his car plunged into had a pool. we have the incredible story for you straight ahead. ♪ ♪ why not try someplace different every morning?

>> he deserves credit for adds blame, really, for trying to spend the money of other people and after all government doesn't have any money except what it takes from people and trying to recirculate it back into the economy. i was listening to your early reports, 99 weeks of unemployment compensation, you subsidize something more, you're going to get more of it. fundamentally i'm an optimist and i believe the united states will come out of this, but i think we've got to face up to hard truths in the meantime. >> if your point is that department of the can never create jobs, then what is the answer to getting out of this? >> the answer is to get back to the private sector, get rid of the excess regulation, lower taxes, so that you've got incentives. my old friend jack kemp used to say we're never going to get ahead when we keep cutting off the bottom rungs and make it harder for people to get started. and you all know that most jobs are created by small and middle sized business. boy, if they don't have a certainty how they're going to be able to operate in the future, then they're not going to start. they're not going to expand, they're not going to grow the way that they're going to have to. you know, that's really the secret of what our whole system is about. it's not about crony capitalism, that's not our system, our stem believed in the rule of law and these are the principles we talk about in our book. the american spirit celebrating the futures that makes our country great. thanks so much. >> thanks, coming up, did you know, being middle class was all in your head? >> middle class is also an attitude. it's not just about income, it's about knowing what's important. >> dave: is that true? dr. keith ablow here next. >> and then can congressman charlie rangel rest easy? a winner has finally been destroyed in new york's democratic primary. we'll let you know who it is still ahead. it's time to live wider awake. only the beautyrest recharge sleep system combines the comfort of aircool memory foam layered on top of beautyrest pocketed coils to promote proper sleeping posture all night long. the revolutionary recharge sleep system... from beautyrest. it's you, fully charged. >> middle class is also an attitude. it's not just about income, it's about knowing what's important. and not measuring your success just based on your bank account, but it's about your values and being responsible and looking after each other. >> clayton: president obama making that's controversial remarks, implying that wealthier americans don't have the values. do wealthy americans have a different set of values, and here is dr. keith ablow to look at the psychology of the statement. is there a mindset that middle class individuals have as opposed to wealthy individuals? i don't think so. i think people in general, americans value achievement. americans aren't hostile to the fact that financial success often follows achievement. the president, last time i checked, didn't turn back his book royalties or his salary. he hasn't decided not to be a millionaire, but what he's implying for the rest of america is a kind of don't look behind the curtain. the fact that your income may be limited, that's because you're choosing that because you're not a pig at the trough, like those other americans who want nice cars or want to send their kids to fine schools, they're greedy people, who are trying to take from you, and they don't get it right. see, this is the president at his core. it's what he really believes. he has contempt for our system, deep, deep contempt. >> wouldn't this be flipped on the other side and folks on the right would say, wait a second, is it appropriate to say, the entitlement generation, folks who think that the government owes them a handout on a regular basis and that we don't need to work and we can just wait until the government comes in, there seems to be that mindset taking hold in this administration, too, no? >> well, that's exactly right. but clayton, that's what follows. in other words, when you take away people's aspirations, when you tell them that it's bad to want that there's no real value in creating jobs because after all if you create them the most convenient way to do that would be to build a company, but then you'd be rich and that's no good. what happens, people say what should i do, nothing? yeah, nothing, because we'll just give you what you need and that should give you self-esteem. that's wrong. >> clayton: tony robbins long side people, we're conditioned to think about money in a negative way and perhaps he's referring to this, thinking that money doesn't grow on trees if you're conditioned that way you never think you can achieve the american dream. is that sort of what he's hitting on here? >> money is miraculous, because people, after all, they seek it, they use it as a symbol of achievement. and i think it's wonderful that somebody would want to make enough that he creates or she creates thousands of jobs, fabulous. the president though, wants people to feel if they're doing less well, that means they're special and good and maybe you say you're even better, so, don't worry about the jobs numbers and don't worry about the economy, because it really means at core, if america fails, it means we must be very good people. >> and in the wealthy get vilified here. dr. keith ablow, thanks for waking up with us early from boston. have a great sunday. >> my pleasure. >> clayton: more "fox & friends" in two minutes. i stepped on the machine, and it showed me the pressure points on 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. ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] what's the point of an epa estimated 42 miles per gallon if the miles aren't interesting?

the 12th new york city triathlon. and woo he sent rick reichmuth, know the to participate, too hard for him, but he's there to watch and rick, i said i didn't find the heat yesterday to be as bad as we all were making it out to be. maybe it was in d.c. and other parts of the country, but right here, it didn't seem that bad. >> rick: you are right. very perceptive, dave. you know what ended up happening, we had a little bit of cloud cover that came over, a bit of an early burst of storms and they thought they with happen at seven or eight o'clock at night and happened around noon and brought the cloud cover and kept the temperatures new york city and up towards connecticut and upstate new york and long island, a bit of a break in the city and go to central new jersey, and south, and they had the heat in a big way. today the heat is better, but humidity is higher so it's going to be a little uncomfortable in the areas to the south and another warm one here in new york city, but improvement is on the way. take a look at the temperatures across the country and you can see certainly improved conditions from where we were yesterday and 74 chicago, 73 in towards cleveland right now. and warm down to the south and that's going to continue, but as this front very slowly sags a little farther towards the south it's going to bring severe weather later on today. you don't see it happening yet. it will happen, once we see the severe weather. look at the burst of storms, exiting colorado though, that brought heavy rain and there's fires, and it's great news because you need that kind of support from the moisture, it will help with those fires and however, it also comes a little bit much like roads washed out. here are your hot temperatures today. see an improvement and take a look tomorrow. 102 today in raleigh and tomorrow, into the low 90's and that's a big improvement and heat moves out to the west. phoenix 113 tomorrow and 97 degrees in missoula, out here at the triathlon and show you right up there is the starting line where all the people, i believe, that's the para try athletes now, about to jump off the pier into the hudson river and do the one mile swim down the hudson river and people have looked at the hudson river as a big dirty pool of water. well, it still is a little bit and swimming through at the start. about 3000 people here, if you go all the way, you'll get a great shot of the hudson river and the crowds out here, getting ready to jump in the water and going in heats and i think they'll be in in about an hour and a half in this competition. this is a big one, the new york city tri athelon and mainly computers here in the-- the major computers, you can hear us critiquing you. >> dave: and rick, you did a tease -- and the amputees, and from south africa a double amputee. >> it's not in the para olympicses, but does it give him an advantage running on the-- >> let's go to the irs, one of our favorite topics. for years, the irs has limited in its capacity and people say with the auditing of the irs they're going after larger problems and companies avoiding paying taxes and not after the little guy so much anymore and maybe that's about to change, because the irs now, about to add thousands of agents, they're going to be out there across the country, policing you on the health care law, whether or not you've been able to pay, and whether or not you're going to have to pay a penalty or a tax, if you-- if you should have been getting health care and you didn't. >> it sounds like the irs has been tasked with figuring out who can opt out of the affordable care act. will some small businesses opt 0 ut and pay the penalty and will some individuals, and irs will be investigating that and they've hired all of these people as we discussed ehere's one thing that everyone in the country was able to come together and agree on in a bipartisan fashion, it was that the tax code is too complex, it's hard to see how this will decrease the complexity of what the irs is tasked with every year. so the governor of maine is not happy about these new irs agents who will be out policing the-- enforcing this and here is what he had to say. >> this decision has made america less free. we, the people, have been told there is no choice. you must buy health insurance or pay the new gestapo, the i irs. >> dave: take issue a little bit with the language. >> alisyn: well, not only are pundits pointing out his language, but the head of the democratic party in maine said that was offer the top, he doesn't need to refer to the irs as the gestapo. >> clayton: that may have been too far when you look at it thousands of new agents and already, 13,000 new pages added to the tax code as of now. we haven't fully implemented obama care, let's be clear about that. not until 2014, 2015 tax returns you collect the mandates, the tax. so, simplifying the tax code, anything, but. it's going to make it a nightmare. >> can you imagine? let us know what you think about that irs come knocking on your door anytime soon. let's talk about attorney general eric holder of course, you know he held in contempt of congress and he made a trip down to arizona where you thought he might take on and talk about the fast and furious scandal, or at least make mention of it down at the la razza conference down there a group of latino individuals in the audience he's speaking to. he didn't mention it, focused instead on arizona's immigration law and we have sound what he had to say about that because he is not in favor of how the supreme court ruled on this, listen. >> yes, i remile an hour seriously concerned, as many of you do, about the potential impact of other sections of the law, including the requirement for law enforcement officials to verify the immigration status of anyone who is lawfully stopped or detained when unlawful. well, let me assure you, the justice department will monitor the impact that this and other measures to make certain that they do know the conflict with federal civil rights or immigration laws, we'll work to ensure, as the court affirmed that they cannot be seen as a license to engage in racial pre-filing. >> dave: this is stunning to me. because even if you search hard for all the liberal columnists writing on the supreme court decision regarding immigration, they'll say this is a huge win for the obama administration, and threw out the could he portions of it, only upholding one that allows states to do their jobs, do what is constitutionally allowed check papers and he's concerned about that? >> they threw out the-- >> that was 6-3, that wasn't close, that's fundamental to our constitution that you allow states to do some portion of their enforcement of protecting their own borders. look, that wasn't a close ruling. that wasn't hinging on-- >> that's the one that got so much attention. and that's the one that he believes is open to the most discrimination, when he said that, according to the report, printed reports, people yelled out we love you and he got a lot of applause. >> dave: don't you as an attorney general want to uphold your state's rights? i mean, that's what concerns people and what concerns people about this administration, they don't want to allow states to make their own decisions and protect their own borders. >> clayton: and that's why there was such outrage from arizona and texas as a result of this. wait a minute, the department of justice isn't going to uphold a state's rule on this, jan brewer said we rule this our law and the department of justice is not going to uphold this, instead you're going to sue us. >> alisyn: the department of justice argument, they don't want 50 different piecemeal rules to do with immigration, they want one umbrella policy with the united states to deal with immigration. he didn't talk to fast and furious, but a vague reference when he got up to the podium particularly nice to be outside of washington and people sort of tittered, and it's been an interesting few weeks. >> dave: one more, arguably the most liberal columnist in washington post, supreme court struck a rare blow for fairness and justice with their immigration ruling. that's arguably the most liberal columnist there, so to find him falling to the left of that is a bit concerning for our top cop. and on the side of the couch. >> alisyn: find us at twitter, weigh in on all of that. meanwhile, the cities bailing out underwater home owners that sounds good, would help them keep their

joining us to weigh in is a former executive vice-president at fannie mae and at the american enterprise institution. hi, ed. >> good morning. >> alisyn: you think this is a terrible idea why? >> absolutely. first of all, this is being portrayed as a quicksilver bullet that's going to solve the problem and i think it will be anything, but. first of all, this is going to be litigated for years, there's a question under eminent domain, a public purpose versus a private rpose and the bond holder are going it litigate that, it will take years, which is going to slow down the recovery of the market further. this is not going to happen tomorrow or even six months from now, and secondly, if it is successful, i think bond investors are going to be turned off even more by this type of throwing out the contract between borrowers and lenders and they're going to sit on the sidelines, and let the government continues to take over the mortgage market which they've done in the last four or five years and they're not going to come back into the private mortgage market and secondly, a fundamental problem whether it's viable. the plan is based on buying homes at a very-- or buying the mortgages at a very low price, about 85% of the current value and the mortgages are honestly, quite a bit more than that and so there's going to be a huge battle over what the mortgages are actually worth. if they're found to be worth what i think they are, then this plan falls because it's not economically viable. >> economically viable, that's at the heart of this. some argue on the part of the right, let's let the market shake itself out. let the homes foreclose and shouldn't have had them and balloon loans and 100% fansing and try to keep those individuals in the home at a reduced rate. what does it do to the neighborhood. suddenly the homes are reduced and people are losing the home value and losing their equity. what do you say to all of that? >> well, again, i don't think this is going to happen anytime soon so it's not a solution that makes sense. it's going to make problems worse, because it's going to hold out the illusion that something's going to happen, but it's not going to happen for three or four years. there's going to be litigation, that's going to go on for years, so it isn't going to happen tomorrow, but it's going to be held out as something that people can count on and that's why it's being pitched to the municipalities in california, this is a silver bullet, not to worry it can happen quickly. >> thank you for coming in with your expertise. >> it's a pleasure, thank you. >> coming up on the show, look out for flying tomatoes. we'll tell you where, what started this massive food fight. >> i like the guy in the hazmat suit. he must have known something. plus, the piece of baseball history could be yours, a woman is putting the home run ball by lou gehrig up for sale. telling us why she's doing this. 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?

>> ready to go. >> how long is it going to take you. >> 15 minutes hopefully. 15 minutes. >> for the swim? >> total. >> a little over two hours, two, two hour. >> see what you're doing and we'll talk a little bit more about the weather. there you go. jumping into the hudson river, guys, and the last few guys of the triathlon, go back to the weather maps and talk quickly about it, and a lot more going on at the heatwave and around the country for the last month and it's all about to change and here is your current temperatures. it's a warm morning across the east and the mid atlantic, yesterday's d.c., you got to 105. and that's close to your all-time record and it wasn't that humid. today, temps lower, but humidity is going to be much higher so it's going to feel very uncomfortable again today. you've got to wait until this severe storm threat goes through today and mostly wind and some storms, but that front will sag down a little farther towards the south and by tomorrow and it's going to drop temperatures down. so, here is your today temperatures, still warm, but by tomorrow, you'll notice these conditions really improve for everybody across the east and by tuesday, you look at these numbers and all of these cities have been baking for the last week, are going to be back down into the mid 80's, it's going to be a big relief. that's it, the last five people, the very end of the start of the new york city marathon, just jumped into the hudson river and they've got a big long stretch ahead of them. >> it's a good time for you to jump in as well. >> we've got a special guest that's going to throw you in, that's coming up in the nine o'clock hour. >> and i was saying, i paused in what i was saying, i considered it, but changed my mind. >> dave: thank you, rick. parents out there, you might want to stop using that phrase, when pigs fly when your kids ask questions can i have a motorcycle, can i have a tattoo. because now, pigs is can fly here in the united states and they are, thanks to the department of transportation. >> and citing an anti-discrimination handbook which says if you suffer emotional distress and you need to calm that emotional distress with your pot belly pig, you can bring that pig on board the next airline flight. they will have to do interviewing. >> of the pig, charlotte or whatever is up to snuff and that you know you are emotionally distressed enough. they say this is an effort to not be discrimry and people-- >> the pig's name was wilbur not charlotte, thats with a the spider. >> clayton: the spider. >> alisyn: babe another good reference. 300 pound pot belly peg flew for support for the passenger. and service animals much as a seeing eye dog is a service animal for a disabled blind person, and a pot belly beg could provide support and also you can you can bring on your miniature horses and monkeys. >> dave: those freak me out, miniature horses. >> clayton: i'm sorry, i'm thinking of the bathroom situation with a miniature horse. >> dave: let alone the pig. >> knocking on the door wondering what's going on-- >> i'm thinking of the too fat to fly rule, with the 300 pound big. >> alisyn: and this runs afoul of some of the other airline rules. >> clayton: and foul on, can't bring any birds. >> alisyn: pardon the pun. yeah, actually, i am fascinated by the story because of' never seen a pig on the airlines, but let's test it. >> dave: and a philadelphia resident if you're out here, let us know at friends@foxnews.com. >> clayton: what do you think about this as also ff weekend on twitter. >> dave: still ahead, another weak jobs report this month. so how will this effect president obama? we talk to john roberts about this next. he's weighing in on fox news sunday this morning. >> alisyn: are you a helicopter parent? a new study reveals that offering over your children is not only bad for them, but also for your health. what you need to know coming up. ♪ [ male announcer ] what's in your energy drink?

month than actually getting jobs, can that be a positive sign? john roberts is in for chris wallace on fox news sunday and joins us this morning, guys to see you, john. >> good morning, clayton, how are you, how are you, alisyn, dave. >> doing well. >> clayton: it's interesting, we're in the dog days of summer, the question, john, whether a lot of people are paying attention to what the white house is saying, but the white house trying to spin the job numbers and hoping maybe americans aren't paying attention right now. these things did not look good. what did you hear from the white house this week. >> if people aren't paying attention in the last week, it's a real shame because a whole lot happened. you know, it's very difficult to spin the number that we saw on friday in any kind of positive shape. three months of lackluster job creation, well below the level we need just to tread water yet the president is saying, if you look at it overall, since the economy started coming back a little bit. we've created a few million jobs, which is true, but we're way back from where we were leading into the 2008 presidential campaign so there's still a whole lot of ground to make up. you know, governor romney is really trying to hammer president obama on the economy, and he did so again on friday, i thought that his speech at the hardware store was an effective one, hit on a number of very valid points. the problem for romney though, he can't make what he's saying really stick because if you look at the polls and the battle ground states, president obama still leads romney who would best handle the economy by nine points and those are not good numbers for romney. >> and john boehner, the speaker of the house may not have helped mitt romney a lek of a hot. on a june 30th fundraiser, in west virginia when asked by a voter if he could make this voter fall in love with mitt romney, here is what john boehner said, the american people probably aren't going to fall in love with mitt romney. went on to say that mitt romney has fellow mormons and people are going to vote for had him, but that's not what the election is about. the election is on a referendum of the president's failed policy that may not be a copy of the rnc ad coming out this week. with friends like john boehner who needs enemies, right? >> it's another lesson, people haven't gotten it enough. in these days of everybody having technology, everything and anything that you say could be recorded, but let's look at it. what boehner said at that fundraiser 0 back on the 30th was really a reflection of what we saw through primary campaign. people were not falling in love with mitt romney, and looking for somebody else to be the nominee. as we head to the general eleb, such talk indicates that the republicans may only be launching a negative campaign and that's everything that's wrong with president obama as opposed to things that might be right with mitt romney. and so they really need to make a decision here, i'm going to be talking with the chairman of the republican national committee about this. do they want to have an entirely negative campaign throughout the fall or do they want to have a positive campaign, talking about the alternatives, talking about what mitt romney would do? now, when it comes to falling in love with mitt romney, there are a lot of people who are behind him. i mean, just look at his fund raising in the month of june. 100 million dollars. now, a lot of that may reflect the intensity to get president obama out of the white house, but still, a lot of money flowing toward the presumptive nominee, some people have faith in them. >> a great point. >> good to bring up the numbers, a lot of high priced ticket sales as well in the fundraisers and debby wasserman schultz, what are you going to talk to her about? >> we are going to be talking to debby wasserman schultz about the economy, whether president obama can win on the economy as it is, when you look at 1992, when president clinton made the race about the economy, stupid, they smeared george bush with that way back in the spring and continued to hammer on him throughout the rest of the summer and the fall. so, we'll see if the romney team can do it. right now, president obama seems to be getting a bit of a pass. we'll talk to her about all of that. >> clayton: interesting it see if mitt romney can cake the narrative track that bill clinton did. so far he hasn't done that. and john roberts must-see television, check your local listings for that, great to see you. >> good to see you folks, thanks. >> alisyn: attention mothers, stop hovering over your children, and fathers. a new study finds it's not only bad for your children, but it's also

ali brings up a great point, how can you tell it's a great white. >> alisyn: in the age of super moms, but helicopter mom meaning hovering over the child. could have an effect on the health of the mom and the child. >> clayton: and here to see us here is a clinical psychologist. >> great to see you. >> clayton: what can hovering over the children do for depression with the momgs. >> 181 moms with children underage five. basically the moms spent so much time with intensive in their parenting to their children, that not only did one in four of them come up with am sort of clinical depression, we found that the lives of the children were also miserable, too, because the parent didn't allow the kids it become independent and work things through, whether academic or even their own emotions or interactions on their own. >> alisyn: so, doctor, i feel as though this generation of parents are all helicopter parents. we're so much more on top of our kids than our parents were, we drive them everywhere and monitor their every move, i afraid for their safety. watch their diet. is that happening to an entire generation of kedds kids that don't have-- >> i think mother-- being a helicopter parent is not such a bad thing, they need guidance and so many things happening in their lives and a lot more danger for kids than when we were growing up, but i think it's the degree of parenting, the degree of helicopter parenting. one i think this to advocate for your child and want the best for the child, but other thing where every experience that your child has that you interject yourself into that. that you're part of that experience, and that it just does not allow the child to be able to work out things on their own and become their own person and in fact, the kids end up some of them being depressed and anxious themselves. >> and the child rearing and the books, sort of the unwatched play time. just letting them figure stuff out and not in the room and you're worried, hear some silence and wonder if they got into an electrical outlet or something, but you've got to let them do that, right. >> you have to let them do that because this is the way that they start to explore the world on their own. if you don't let them do that, then they just don't developing the skills they need to be able to get out there and make friends. >> forget about the child for a minute. just for the moms themselves. you can't live through your child, you need to develop your own activities or as the study suggests, you become depressed. >> if everything is just about the child, and you don't have a life outside of the child, you're living vicariously through that child, certainly that child will have disappointments, but you'll have bigger disappointments because you keep them to this standard that is so high, no one can reach it and it's the whole idea of living a life of perfection, which is what brings on the stress, because it's impossible to do that. and that's where we're finding the mothers are depressed and probably developing sorts of mental health or physical issues that are related. >> doctor, thanks so much for coming in. >> my pleasure, thank you. >> great to see you. >> coming up on the show, the president implying that people who are successful may not have the same values as people in the middle class. >> middle class is also an

a second. let's talk about the weather because it's been such a big story for the last month, all the heat across the eastern part of the country and one more day that we have to get through and when you look at the weather maps, you'll see severe weather across the areas of the mid atlantic and anywhere you see that yellow there, around baltimore, towards washington d.c., and around west virginia and over towards louisville and that's the threat for severe weather and we'll talk about the chance for wind damage, not tornados or anything like that, but some of the thunderstorms likely producing big strong wind that's going to cause problems. this is the big pattern change that's about to happen and bring the big relief for the last month and baking areas of the east and it's unseasonably cool across the west and now we'll see that cool and the cool moves to the east and hot to the west and so we're going to be in a different pattern and setup. though we've got to get to one last day of this today. and the high temperatures in the mid atlantic down to the southeast today and another scorcher and it's going to be more humid than yesterday. so, it's actually going to feel a lel bit more uncomfortable today. and by tomorrow, the front moves all the way in towards areas of the southeast, and will dry things out, less humid and temperatures will drp for almost everyone, that's

people who are successful may not have the same values as people in the middle class. >> the middle class is also an attitude, and not just about income, it's about knowing what's important and not measuring your success just based on your bank account, but it's about your values and being responsible and looking after each other. >> father jonathan morris is a contributor, father jonathan, obviously, the president there is trying to appeal to the middle class, saying you have the values that have made america great. however, implicit in that is and rich people don't care about other people or something like that. >> sure, well, if we're going to give him the benefit of the doubt as i'm supposed to do especially. >> alisyn: of course. >> we should say if he is he's saying that success is not about a big bank account. absolutely right, absolutely right, but what he said could very much be interpreted and i hope he's not just pandering to the middle class by saying, because you are middle class, therefore, you're good people. you know, you're good people. right? middle class values, it's an attitude, it's a mentality. no, middle class is how much money you have and you could have very little money, you can have a lot of money, you can have a decent amount of money and you can be excellent people, why? because our values have to do with responding to who we are and what god is calling us to be in relationship to other people. >> and you talk about what's implied there and when i listen to it, the end of it is what draws my attention, they know what's important so therefore, when you make x amount of dollars you forget what's important? again, giving him the benefit of the doubt i'm trying to make sense of that. >> yeah, well, certainly, when we have all the money in the world or the fame or power in the world, there are temptations not to live up to our values and maybe what he's saying is hey, a middle class doesn't have those temptations, but i think, unfortunately, there's been so many things done recently that creates this class struggle, right, the rich are bad. the poor and the middle class are good. that's definitely not, that's definitely not in accordance with the bible or even in accordance with-- >> and the bible, i think it's safe to say you probably know the bible better than me, i hope so. >> well, if i was a betting, betting person i would say, yeah. >> clayton: but that's the heart of the issue, right, the idea that earning money or becoming rich is somehow immoral, but according to the bible, and there are a number of times in the bible where this is talked about by being rich, by being wealthy and making yourself wealthy you can enrich other human beings by doing so, it's throughout the bible, is that know the-- >> a lot of people misquote the bible and say money is the root of a you will evil. it's the love of money, which it means, disordered attachment to wealth, is the root of all evil. but, if money in itself is a good thing, it's a very good thing, because we can use it well, it's like, good things, yes, it is, having lots of food, is that a good thing, yes, you can share some of that with other people, money in of itself is not a bad thing know the root of all evil. to suggest that the middle class is good and the rich are bad, that is unamerican, it's nonbiblical and i think it just goes against human right reason. >> alisyn: where do poor people fall into that? >> we should be encouraging people towards success, right? not just financial success, but mnl success, too. the american dream is not about american being in the middle class. and the american dream is a very good thing. of course, it comes with responsibility, obligations to use it well, but encouraging people to stay in the middle class because that's where the real values are, that's unamerican and i think a negative thing. >> dave: jonatnha morris, our fox news contributor, thanks for being here. >> thank you, very

let's get to your headlines, we have a developing story out of afghanistan, overnight, two nato service members were killed in separate attacks one in a roadside bomb explosion and the other during a search and attack. we don't know their nationalities at this hour, so far this year, 225 nato service members were killed in afghanistan. and a potentially devastating terror plot thwarted in london

now, for soldiers returning from afghanistan. those are your headlines. >> clayton: thank you so much, alisyn. with our nation's unemployment rate hovering at 8.2% and, we are still in the funk now. >> dave: we are talking about the economy with wisconsin governor scott walker sitting with us, is the economy headed in the right direction as the president suggested. good to see you. >> good to be here. >> dave: it is interesting and looked like the president went away from the line he said earlier in the day after the jobs numbers were released we're headed in the right direction but didn't use the phrase again. where are we headed in terms of the economy and how will it impact the election. >> this is a president who said the private sector was doing fine and retracted that when people realize it's not. we can be growing much quicker than this, states like ours are doing better because we made changes in the state leadership in the last couple years and it is really largely dependent on the federal government. >> clayton: that is interesting, you bring up the state issue and where president obama is doing well is in swing states with an 8 or 9 point lead ahead of mitt romney in the polls but that may not be reflected because of the obama administration's policies, but maybe policies like your own. >> wisconsin a couple years before i was governor and, a democrat was the governor and barack obama was the president, our unemployment rate was over 9% and we made fundamental changes and gained, 42,000 new jobs, but that is not because of the federal government, a manufacturer of aluminum in manitowac told me he loved what the state agencies were doing and what trapped him was the federal epa blocking him from creating more jobs. >> alisyn: let's listen to what the president said about the state of manufacturing in the country and then we'll talk about wisconsin. >> president barack obama: manufacturing is starting to come back here in ohio. and all across the country. some of this biggest manufacturing job growth since this 1990s. a lot of folks lost their jobs and are retrained and are getting jobs in renewable energy, an industry for the future and with all the progress we made, we still have a long way to go. >> alisyn: manufacturing starting to come back across the country. >> it is doing a little better but you look at export and look at europe in particular, we could be doing much better than that. midwestern states, wisconsin, he talked about ohio, pennsylvania and the big ten, other states throughout the midwest could be doing much, much better but we need a good foreign trade policy and haven't had that leadership from the president and that would help us with more manufacturing across the country. >> dave: there was a report, the manufacturing actually contracted for the first time since '09 and that didn't get a lot of play but i want to ask you the overall narrative of what we are talking about, an author earlier said the federal government does not create jobs. he is highlighting the american spirit and, does the federal government get blamed when the economy struggles and the governors get credit when states create jobs. >> it is one of those, my belief is governor at any level, state as well as federal, the government doesn't create jobs, people do and the difference is government can create a barrier or an opportunity and what we have done in states like wisconsin and ohio and pennsylvania where you elect new republican governors in the last two years was create better opportunities in the state level and we aren't seeing it at the federal level, we have one of the highest corporate tax rates and unbelievable overall tax rate and regulations from epa and federal agencies they are not about creating jobs and that is something that has to change. >> clayton: i want to ask you about mitt romney. this is fascinating and we are hearing that mitt romney is not doing enough to get the message out. >> "wall street journal" journal attacked him for bashing the president and not really talking about true policies to get us through these next hurdles and specifically the swing states is suffering now behind president obama with an 8, 9% approval rating as i say. what does mitt romney need to say to the people of wisconsin to win this election? >> he was with me two weeks ago, in a typical blue-collar city that a few years ago lost the gm plant and the president didn't do anything to help people in janesville. there is not a plant there. the message he said is within i hope he repeats over and over and over again when he comes to wisconsin, he talked about not just the problem with the president but repealing obamacare and giving certainty back to small business owners and cost-effective and reliable sources of power and talked about streamlining the regulatory process, so we do enforce it, common sense, not red tape and talked about lowering the tax burden so more money went into the hands of wisconsin and american consumers and entrepreneurs. those are the things i want him to say over and over again and you heard it a little bit the other day in new hampshire when he took a break from his vacation, but in wisconsin, we need clarity and consistency in that message and it cannot be about attacking the other side, though there is plenty to attack, it has to be about, here's the message i have to turn around around. >> dave: a lot of heat on president obama not being there and mitt romney was not there... >> during the primary when he was campaigning and rick santorum was in the race, he was consistently there and he was one of the earliest people that called me, in our case... >> dave: right ahead of it he wasn't. >> we said it is really about is and we didn't ask him to come and, earlier he made his case and said it publicly and it was the most important race probably in the country at this time and he was clearly there, unlike the president who was in minnesota and illinois, days before the election. >> dave: he threw him -- >> waved as flew over. >> alisyn: i don't know if you heard our last segment and we talked about something president obama said on the campaign trail where he tried to appeal to middle class voters and his middle class jobs and, this is where the values are and you represent the values of america. what do you hear in that statement. >> that is remarkable and to me values are about america and not the middle class or poor or rich are anywhere in between. i was listening to earlier segments, too, talking about faith and my dad was a minister, we didn't know at the time we were poor because we lived the attitude that americans do, which is, you work hard and respect others, and strive for success no matter what it might be and, the priest on earlier was right. success may be in part monetary but, behaving good life and attitude and community, those are shared american values. and for the president to go on and try and distinguish between so-called income levels, i think is actually quite offensive to most americans and we have shared values to americans and those are things we cling to and should be striving for. >> clayton: he heard the fallout from the supreme court ruling, and some republican governors are not in the mode to take part of the expanded medicare program and will stay and opt out of this. what do you think the broader implications will be for obamacare as it takes its teeth into effect, not even now, 2014, 2013, 2014, in the state of wisconsin. >> you are right, first off, you got it right, a lot of people assume the governors who are concerned about obamacare, somehow, violating the law. the law doesn't go into effect until january of 2014. and many democrats who are quiet, democratic governors will raise the same concerns, we are concerned about the long term impact of pushing off higher cost of medicaid onto the states, and they are looking for a fall guy in this and it will be state governments, and go back to the questions you had about jobs, the supreme court said, clearly, this is a tax increase and what many of us said for years, it is a massive tax increase on the american people and most people listening now and across america say, the last thing we need now is a massive tax increase. i think that would have a devastating impact on the economy, in this country, and that is something we don't need. >> dave: will you implement the changes required of obamacare -- >> no, we're waiting, first step is legal and second step is political, i hope we have a new president and hold the how's house majorities with people who are committed to obamacare, if you don't like obamacare you have to get rid of obamacare, it is that simple. >> alisyn: now that you have won the fight, how is it? is it better... >> our legislature is not in session until next january and what we will do throughout the summer is working on issues and, half the time, month after month, working on things to bring people together and put people to work and in the end whether our state capital or nation's capital we talk about economic issues and they should bring people together an politically there is an instinct, that we are apart but people can come together and that is what we aer commit to doing. >> clayton: the governor will be here speaking in manhattan and, heading down to my city of philadelphia. i home you get a good cheese steak. >> i have a guy over here with a giants shirt on after they put the packers out? the year before the packers got to the playoffs to win the super bowl because the giants left. maybe it is fair play. >> dave: looking for cheese heads and clayton has a couple of pieces of cheese, doesn't foot the bill. voted the number one player by the players in the nfl, congratulations to your quarterback. >> well worth it. he's a good guy. >> dave: great to see you. >> clayton: thanks, governor. >> alisyn: are we losing the

>> first and foremost what i promote people doing on independence day is reading the entire declaration of independence an understand the grievances thomas jefferson brought against king george and understand the ideal of american individual sovereignty which is preeminent in this country. so, i think that when you look at the onerous tax policies you cannot have tax-mageddon and we need reduce the regulations on the private sector and go back to the glass siegel act and repeal the dodd frank act and get back to economics security and internally security and rightly promote our national security because, the sequestration is not going in the right direction where we are seeing a more volatile world. >> dave: are you satisfied with the way your candidate, mitt romney, addressed those particular issues? >> well, i think, there is no doubt he can do a lot better. i'm not part of his inner circle of advisors and so i don't know what they discuss. but i think the american people are looking for a message that, much the same as ronald reagan did that focuses on the exceptionalism and the uniqueness of the united states of america. there is no doubt about the fact that president obama is failing this country. but, now we need to understand the wise america, the beacon of liberty, freedom and democracy and we are looking for leadership with the colonel, confidence, the commitment, the conviction and the character to show the brighter days for this country are still ahead. >> dave: you brought up something earlier i wanted to ask you about. the number of people going on social security disability. out-paced the jobs created by the economy in the the month of june, that is a trend we have seen increase, and holding steady since '09. do you have a theory as to why that is happening? is that something the federal government is creating or an unfortunate consequence of our economy. >> that is an unfortunate consequence of failed economic policies coming from the president so now, when people are running out of the unemployment benefits, now they are looking toward going on social security disability. since june of 2009, or so, we have seen 2.4 million private sector jobs created and we've had 3.1 million people going on social security disability and as we said this past month, the 85,000 went on social security disability as opposed to 80,000 jobs created and once again we are creating the sense of economic dependence which, to me is a form of modern, 21st century slavery and we need to release the entrepreneurial spirit of the american people and not have more policies and programs. >> dave: thanks for being with us. >> thanks, appreciate it dave. >> dave: airlines seem to be charging for everything these days and now, restless passengers can pay more to get off the plane first. being discussed, we'll tell you about that. and, calling all smokers, it may soon be butts out on the beach. but is it fair to be banning smoking even in the great outdoors?

>> well, it is a perfectly good, politically correct solution in search of a problem that doesn't exist, you have ash cans and receptacles for smoking and they are using them and i can't even think of a case where someone is arguing second-hand smoke outside caused cancer or heart disease. so, what are we doing? we are ostracizing smokers, people who are paying taxes to go to those beaches and telling them they can't enjoy it and on top of that, if almost 20% of the american population smoked and they can't smoke in bars or restaurants, on the boardwalk or beach why would they go to maryland to enjoy their vacation? is their unemployment rate so low it isn't a problem for them. >> alisyn: you heard the case. john, what do you think? >> alisyn, let me give you the four major reasons why more than 100 jurisdictions have banned all smoking on beaches, not even setting aside separate sections. secondhand tobacco smoke is highly toxic and like asbestos and benzene in minute amounts causes lung cancer and the surgeon general among many said -- >> wait a second. that is -- >> and coughing and sneezing by people who are susceptible, including young kids and people with medical conditions. >> my wife is a... >> alisyn: john. john, what are you objecting?

it wasn't that they started dancing randomly like a bunch of weirdos. which happens in new york, no, there were steel drums, a guy was playing steel drums on the platform in columbus circle which is a massive suggest way area. a lot of subways intersect and there were steel drum players playing and dancing there. trying to dance the charleston. how many other older references... >> alisyn: they pulled a foot loose, kevin bacon, but the point is, i think, dancing is allowed or you think it is allowed, but what happened was, the police said that, well, no, couple... >> dave: impeding the flow of traffic. >> alisyn: but the couple said it was an empty subway platform and when they took out their iphone, something you would do, the cautionary tale for you, and, started taping the police interaction the police didn't like that. >> clayton: you'll arrest me. hold on, let me get a video of that. i'll shoot a video or youtube a little later. >> dave: all charges are dropped and the couple is filing a suit. meanwhile, if you folks are flying this summer, a question, is there any end to what you will pay for and what airlines will charge for? there was a new study out there that said would you pay for the right to get off the plane first? a full 10% said they'd pay $10 per person to get off of a plane first. and no airline started to do that but 10%, if they are willing to $10 that is all they need to go ahead with that. >> alisyn: how do you decide -- >> hold up a ticket and say i have the red card and i'm in the back. >> dave: what if 40 people pay the fee ishtindisaster waiting happen. >> dave: a stampede. >> alisyn: they figured out, now, pigs can now fly and in fact on u.s. airways, a pot bellied, 300 pounds, made the trip from philadelphia to seattle and other pot bellied pigs are allowed to fly also if they are for the emotional support of a passenger. if you need your pig to fly with you, maybe you are a nervous flyer, for whatever reason, the pig can fly with you. as a service animal. >> clayton: it is in the handbook, part of the anti-discrimination handbook and want -- they are not just letting you have dogs, you can have any kind of animal you need for whatever sort of emotional distress you may have. monkeys are included. and... and dave's favorite, miniature horses. also allowed on a flight. >> dave: freaked me out, can't i just bring a friend, a parent. >> alisyn: that would also be strange. >> dave: let me know what you think of pigs flying. coming up, mitt romney and secretary of state claim, both headed to israel. so, how important is that country?

>> clayton: let's ask him, geraldo rivera joins us live from jerusalem. great to see you. how important is this? hillary clinton, mitt romney, heading to that area. how important is it for 2012? >> reporter: well, hi, dave, clayton and alisyn, it is always important, the jewish vote in the u.s. is small but is always a heavy turnout and places like ohio, a swing state or florida, where there is a concentration, 2, 3% can make all the difference. new york, l.a., another aspect of that political picture so it is very important and as important as the votes, you guys, of course is the fund-raiser. the billionaires, sheldon adelson, are people who can kick in a lot of money for those super pacs and the relationship and apparent relationship and the friendly relations between the individual candidates and leaders, and, netanyahu, of course, the prime minister of israel are critically important to that back home. >> alisyn: do you have a sense how people there are feeling about president obama today and whether or not they expect him to visit as well as hillary and mitt romney? >> reporter: alisyn, you know, it has not gone unremarked that president obama visited cairo during his presidential and has yet to come as president here to israel. and i think mitt romney's visit, i don't want to ascribe any ulterior motive, coming here after the olympics an he's good friends with bibi netanyahu and not only to prop up support among christian evangelicals but also to remind people of the fact that mitt romney and bibi netanyahu back in 1970 worked with the same firm and they have a relationship and joke about bibi is not only the prime minister of israel but also the republican senator from israel. so, they will be extolling the virtues of their long time friendship. i have no doubt. the president is sending secretary of state hillary clinton, though, she is very popular with the israeli people. they are very concerned about what is happening up in syria. about the muslim brotherhood taking over in egypt. about the rockets that continue to fly into israel from gaza. and there is certainly a lot to talk about when she gets here but all of the attention being played to israel against the back drop, of course, of the fear that israel will launch a pre pr pre--- preemptive strike against iran and the use of nuclear weapons and there is a lot going on and i feel sometimes we're an island in the middle of the storm swirling in the middle east but it's not just here and it affects politics home in the states. historically the jewish vote has gone 3/4 of the vote to the democrats. now, it is eroded and barack obama got in the 70s, back in 2008 and now is polling in the 60s, and it is still very high but there's a sense that i sense, particularly, talking to very active jewish americans here in israel and back home in the u.s., particularly new york, the jewish vote might be in play. >> dave: and a name that might be in the news the most in the region is not hillary clinton, not netanyahu, not barack obama but yasser arafat. with the possibility that he was poisoned coming up this past week. how big a story is that? and how has it raised tensions in the region? >> reporter: you know, dave, that is an excellent question, i knew yasser arafat very well, i interviewed him in '02 and in '03 in ramala, in the west bank and, behind the old city behind me and the west bank of the occupied political territories and he was a vibrant guy, 75 years old when he died and between the time i saw him in '03 and the photos of him on his last illness in france, in 2004. there was no doubt, david, that he had deteriorated in a way that was quite remarkable. so we all attributed it in the whispers here in the holy land was that the reason they never autopsied yasser arafat was that he had aids and they didn't want to risk embarrassment but now, al-jazeera bank rolled this amazing investigation, and they did trace studies of the urine stains left on some of his under garments and came up with this radioactive isotope that was exactly the isotope that killed -- traces of it that killed the ex-kgb agent in 2006 in london. all of the buzz here on the israeli side and certainly on the palestinian side of the line is that the palestinian icon, the trouble maker, the obstacle to peace, national founder of the palestinian identity, however you want to identify yasser arafat, he was poisoned and then you question, who had the motive to poison him and "the mossad" has done things like that in the past and was it the u.s. and a rival palestinian faction but they've agreed to exhume his body. yesterday i spoke to the palestinian prime minister in the west bank and they believe, at least as he told me, most palestinians believe he was poisoned and have agreed to exhume the body, what they did last wednesday and haven't set a date yet but it is fascinating to watch this murder mystery, unsolved mystery unfold here in israel, and in the palestinian territories. >> alisyn: wow. >> dave: fascinating. >> clayton: especially given the possible connection to what happened in london with the ex-kgb operative, we'll be watching your show as you delve into the mystery in northeast, live from israel. geral geraldo, great to see you. >> reporter: thanks very much. thank you. >> alisyn: up next we'll see which one of us had the best pick. who has the best antique eye?
