or michelle's family, what made us rich was spending time together. and the idea was -- [applause] the idea was that, you know, if our families were of good character and had good values, and you were willing to work hard, then you could find a job that paid a decent wage. jon: president obama, continuing his bus tour through ohio. he is in poland, ohio, this morning talking about jobs and the economy. earlier we gave mitt romney roughly equal amount of time to address the jobs numbers. and those new numbers are out. the president didn't get to that part of the speech where he addresses those job numbers which are out this morning and they are not particularly good. welcome to you. this is a friday morning. i'm jon scott. jenna: hi, everybody, i'm general that lee. when we talk about the numbers, 80,000 jobs created in the month of june. third straight month of weak hiring. labor department says the unemployment rate is still at 8.2%. job creation trailing the pace of last year through the first six months of the year. steve moore, senior economics writer at "the wall street journal" and joins us now. steve, 80,000 jobs, 0,000 jobs created. where did those jobs come from? >> well, jenna, a pretty lousy report overall. a lot of people expected 100 to 150,000 jobs so we're all very disappointed. yes, those jobs created came from, we did see an increase in white-collar hiring. so businesses for, what we call business services, increased their employment. we did see a small increase in manufacturing. we don't know if we can keep that going because manufacturing numbers were down last month. we actually did see an increase in temporary hiring. people, hiring part-time workers but those are, since they're part-time, jobs they're not paying full-time salaries. so overall, and by the way, if you look at the construction numbers and other areas of the economy like retail sales, just no growth at all. pretty stable. but we need to be generating about 150,000 jobs a month just to keep up with the growth in the labor force. jenna: we're going to talk a little bit more about policy with our economic panel coming up. steve, i know you will be part of that. >> yep. jenna: the questions viewers have about the jobs market is why? why are we creating jobs but not even enough to keep up with population growth? >> what is really disappointing, jenna, as you mentioned earlier, the first three months of this year and actually last year we have pretty healthy jobs numbers two or three times higher than we're getting now. looks to me like an economist that the economy is stalling out a little bit right now, jenna. i think one of the big fears what we've called on this show, "taxmageddon". a big tax increase that will hit the economy on january 1st. businesses are in a hunker down mode right now. they're trying to survive and they're very reluctant to invest and hire workers given the big storms they see ahead. jenna: one of the things we saw last year, hiring did pick up at the end of the year last year. >> yeah. jenna: how does that figure into the presidential election as well? steve, you will be back in a half hour. we have a great panel and steve will be back with us, thank you. >> thank you. jon: now this fox news alert. more terror arrests just weeks before the london olympics. british police announced seven men were arrested after a vehicle search uncovered firearms and other weapons in northern england. this makes 13 arrests on suspicion of terrorism this week. greg palkot is live in london. what is the latest on these arrest, greg? >> reporter: jon, that's right. another announcement of terrorists. three weeks from today, the start of the olympics. hear is the latest what we know about today's activity. police in the west midlands area, north of london, said the arrests were made, tuesday, wednesday and thursday. it followed the sees sure of a car over the weekend and discovery in that car what is called a big cache of weapons of at least two guns and ammunition. those are british men from asian background. that can mean from pakistan. sources tell our sister network sky news a major terror plot against targets in the u.k. was broken up because of these arrests and the probe said to be ongoing. police stress that the arrests made this week in connection with this plot had nothing to do with the upcoming olympic games, jon. jon: what are authorities doing ahead of the olympics? >> reporter: clearly, jon, what analysts are telling me we could see a lot more police activity in the next couple weeks like the arrest that you mentioned yesterday which occurred around the olympic site and other points in london, even if it doesn't have anything directly to do with the games. authorities are telling me that they do not see any clear-cut attack plan yet for the games but they are watching and taking no chances. the total amount of money being poured into security for this two-week games stretch, $875 million. 12,500 soldiers will be on duty. 13,000 police. 5,000 security guards. alongwith jet planes, anti-aircraft battery placed in parks here in london. they're absolutely taking no chances with heads of states of more than 100 participating countries including president obama coming here. they want to make sure those guys are here. athletes are higher. officials are here and terrorists stay away. back to you. jon: traffic will be there too i have a feeling. >> murder, murder. jon: greg palkot. thank you, greg. jenna: well back stateside now we have this fox news weather alert, it is hot outside especially in the midwest. temperatures at or near triple digits in most of the region there. right now excessive heat warnings are in place in several states. following are doing anything they really can to try to stay cool, but so far at least 13 heat-related deaths are reported so far across this country. what's happening this weekend? meteorologist janice dean is live in our fox weather center. jd? >> this weekend we'll get a cool-down, jenna, fingers crossed but it is happening. look at these temperatures. i mean are we going to be remembering this day when we're in the dead of winter? it is going to be a really bad summer unfortunately at this point. 105 degrees was the record yesterday in st. louis. much the same for columbia, missouri. springfield, 101. and with the humidity it feels even hotter than that. look at the heat index. that is the actual temperature with the humidity. 108 is what it will feel like in st. louis. 110 in louisville. 99 in d.c. we're still dealing with half a million people without power. so this is a really dangerous situation. and, heading into the tomorrow, looks like the same thing. 111 in louisville. 109 in st. louis. 105 in nashville. there is relief on the way, i promise. as we head into the weekend we've got cooler air courtesy of canada. that will drift in and bring temperatures, knock them back into the 80s and 90s across the midwest, the ohio river valley and mid-atlantic. heat index values again anywhere from 100 to 110 degrees for today. averages for this time of year? 87 in kansas city. today 103. sunday, 94. so, jenna, i promise, i promise there is relief on the way for all the big cities. jenna: 94 is the cool-down? relatively speaking it is a cool-down. >> we have to wait until monday and tuesday. then we'll see temperatures in the 80s which is seasonal for this time of year. jenna: the canadians always helping us out. where are you born, jd? >> i was born in toronto. we can blame canada in a good way. >> in a good way. thank you very much. >> you bet. jenna: this excessive heat we'll talk about it and break it down with a panel of emergency room doctors and what you need to know and what ways you can keep your family stave. some say stay indoors and stay near the air conditioner but if you're living your life you can't always do that. jon: what does it do for the trade imbalance if we import the cold air from canada. jenna: always comes down to the economy. jon: after very disappointing monthly jobs numbers how those could change the strategies for president obama and governor romney as they both try to win the white house. jenna: big question today. a transit van slams into a line of cars on a highway exit. you see it right there on the right side of your screen. why didn't the driver stop? we'll have the latest on the investigation for you. jon: also a mayor puts the fate of his beloved moustache in the hand of his constituents. so how did they vote? save it or shave it? last season was the gulf's best tourism season in years. in florida we had more suntans... in alabama we had more beautiful blooms... in mississippi we had more good times... in louisiana we had more fun on the water. last season we broke all kinds of records on the gulf. this year we are out to do even better... and now is a great time to start. our beatches are even more relaxing... the fishing's great. so pick your favorite spotn the gulf... and come on down. brought to you by bp and all of us who call the gulf home. you walk into a conventional mattress store, it's really not about you. they say, "well, if you wanted a firm bed you can lie on one of those. if you want a soft bed you can lie on one of those." we provide the exact individualization that your body needs. welcome to the lowest prices of the season, not just on ordinary beds, but on the bed that can change your life. the sleep number bed. never tried this before. this is your body there. you can see a little more pressure in the hips. take it up one notch. oh gosh, yes. when you're playing around with that remote, you get that moment where you go, "oh yeah" ... oh, yeah! ... and it's perfect. they had no idea that when they came to a sleep number store, we were going to diagnose their problems and help them sleep better. and through sunday only, save an incredible $300 to $1,000 on selected bed sets. once you experience it, there's no going back. wow. hurry in now for the lowest prices of the season on the amazing sleep number bed. final days! sale ends sunday. only at the sleep number store, where queen mattresses start at just $699. jon: right now, some weak new jobs numbers moving the political debate from health care back to the economy. the labor department saying the unemployment rate for june stuck at 8.2%, with employers adding only 80,000 jobs in this country. this latest disappointing jobs report comes as president obama continues his bus tour in the battleground state of ohio. one of mr. obama's main campaign themes he pulled the economy out of a recession but governor mitt romney said the president is hitting the road with no new ideas on the economy and his policies clearly failed to put americans back to work. talk about it with bob cusack, the managing editor of "the hill." is that going to be the debate the next week and perhaps, bob, more into the summer? >> yeah, i think so. this election will be about the economy and debates will play a big factor. president obama had a good week on supreme court, on health care and on immigration but this is a disappointing jobs report. back-to-back disappointing jobs reports. republicans interestingly not wanting to talk about health care because that has split them since the supreme court ruled. they're pouncing and reminding everybody president obama said, and private sector is doing just fine. jon: last month, that was his response to the jobs numbers. he probably is not going to go off message and make that kind of a statement this time around? >> no, he walked that back almost immediately. he has a tough sell to the american public. he wants to have voters vote on how the economy will improve in his second term if he gets it. not, how the economy is right now because so many people are frustrated. he has to make the case the economy is improving but, as he says, there is still a lot of work to be done. jon: yesterday, in parma, as his bus tour began, he was telling folks that middle class is a state of mind. i want to play his thoughts for you and get your response. >> i want to say by the way when i talk about middle class, i'm also talking about poor folks who are doing the right thing and trying to get into the middle class. [applause] and middle class is also an attitude. 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. and giving back. jon: i wonder what you think the president was trying to say there? i mean seems like if your bank account is empty it is pretty hard to be excited about the economic policies or the economic situation we're in? >> yeah, jon, that is interesting i think shift from the president where he is making the case, well, you may not be better off than you were four years ago but you're morally, if you're going to vote with me, you agree with me that the, rich should not get more tax cuts. and that is something that mitt romney has pursued, saying this is not the time to raise taxes. so, interesting argument there. i don't know if will resonate there. we're seeing a lot of trial balance from the -- balloons from the president and romney campaign. they will see what works and what doesn't and use it over labor day. jon: the overall unemployment range unchanged at 8.2% but up employment rate among women ticked up last month from 7.9 to 8%. women are a critical factor obviously in this electorate and they are going at, well according to the polls, they are favoring barack obama right now. are they going to be feeling those numbers and could that change? >> well, that is, romney campaign is certainly going to be touting. they're also noting that the african-unemployment rate and hispanic unemployment rate is in double digits. despite the talk about immigration and arizona case, romney campaign is definitely noted repeatedly the economy has not improved and really hurt hispanic voters which is a key demographic as are women. romney has to close the women gap and hispanic gap. that is what he will be harping on next several weeks and months. jon: bob cusack from "the hill", joining us from washington. >> thanks, jon. jenna: right now dallas transit officials are investigating a truly shocking chain-reaction crash that injured two people. harris faulkner with us live from the fox newsroom with more. harris? >> reporter: when you see this video it is tough to watch. the north texas toll way authority releasing video from the crash. when you watch it, keep in mind a young victim remains in the hospital in intensive care. let's watch. you see a dallas area rapid transit van slamming into the back of line of cars on a exit ramp. the first is a sedan. a 28-year-old is in the sedan and husband father of two is hanging on to his life after this brutal hit. the dart transit people are looking at this and put the van driver on paid administrative leave what they find out what happened and they suspect the transit driver was not paying attention and failed to slow down. five other vehicles involved in this, a chain reaction as you mentioned, jenna. in a case where one person at least was seriously injured. back to you. jenna: luckily not more. what a video and what a crash, harris. thank you. >> reporter: sure. jon: some new details to bring you on a shocking sexual assault case at one of the nation's busiest air force bases. we'll take you live to texas for that story. jenna: casey stiegel on the story. america faces another weekend of dangerously hot temperatures. we'll take a closer look how you can keep yourself and your family safe, all of you. our panel of doctors straight ahead with what you need to know this weekend. jenna: taking you out to texas now. new details in a growing sex scandal at lackland air force base there. here are a few numbers for context that just show how big of a story this is. the air force has identified 31 possible victims. the investigation is focusing on 12 instructors at the base. one of them, just one of them, is facing 28 charges including rape. casey stiegel is live in dallas with more. casey? >> reporter: jenna, new reaction from washington is also coming in on this. california congresswoman jackie spear is calling for a special hearing on capitol hill. she already sent a letter to the house armed services committee and saying the military, and i'm quoting here, is unable to police itself on matters of rape and sexual assault. texas senator kay bailey hutchison supports the idea of a hearing but is not calling for one. she tells fox news channel and she wants to wait and see how the air force's top brass handles the matter. >> i do believe that general rice is on top of it and i think he takes it very seriously, as he should. and i think we need to let him have a chance to get a full report, find out the depth, and then find out how this could happen without being uncovered, going forward. >> reporter: the air force has revealed that this sexual misconduct had been going on since 2009 but it was not first discovered until a year ago when a female airman accused her superior of rape. police have already or people have already lost their jobs i should say. nine of the 12 instructors belong to the same training squadron. the commander has been relieved from his post. at least two of the instructors have been charged and are making their way through the courts. a two-star general is leading the internal investigation. >> we are taking a comprehensive look, not only at the cases that we know but trying to do the best we can to assess whether or not there are other cases out there. >> reporter: they do believe that the cases were isolated to lack land. by the way that base has 475 instructors. about 11% of those are female and some 35,000 air force recruits go through basic training down there in san antonio every single year, jenna. jenna: let's hope they find out a little more information on all of this. casey, thank you very much. >> reporter: you got it. jon: did you hear about this story out of murray, utah? democracy is alive and well there. the mayor posed a very important question to residents. should --. jenna: was it about the economy? jon: no. jenna: was it about the war in afghanistan? jon: no. it was about his face on the screen behind us. should he shave his 18 inch handle bar moustache. the mayor started growing it nearly three years ago. his wife not so happy. she wants the stash to go. he used murray's 4th of july parade to settle the save it or shave it debate. he asked residents to give thumbs up or thumbs down and use ad video camera to record the results. >> i'm a little bit different. i'm a little strange. i admit it. >> it has gotten too long. i think it is in the freak stage. >> my wife doesn't like it. >> all i want is a trim. >> 31 months to grow a horizontal moustache. 2/3, to one-third in support of the stash. i want it off into the stash is staying up. jon: the stash gets to stay. the mayor said the only time he will allow a trim to fit it into his --. what do you think about that? jenna: i think you better listen to your wife. the people or your spouse? come on, your spouse. come on, jon, right. jon: if your wife is not happy, you got to get out there. jenna: just a little trim. just a little trim. there could be a some compromise there. there are new reports that governor romney is about to beef up his campaign staff. why mr. romney will hire political veterans for his communication team. what does this mean about his strategy? a fair and balance debate coming up. one section of the economy getting hit very hard and that could be a potential indication what is ahead for all of us later this year. we'll have more on the story next.

>> reporter: jenna, interesting numbers. the unemployment rate in the construction sector is trending in the right direction but experts say construction unemployment is stagnant and there are other reasons the numbers are improving. in march construction sector unemployment was 17.2% according to the bureau of labor statistics. it jumped in april to 14.5%, and then 14.2. in june it was 12.8. the chief economist of the associated general contractors of america says, it is not because they're finding construction jobs. >> they're finding jobs in other industries, not in construction. maybe truck drivering, manufacturing services or else going back to school and retiring. they're just not being hired in construction. that is a potential problem for the industry. >> reporter: the 12.8% figure is the lowest june rate since 2008 but in those numbers are roughly 750,000 experienced construction workers finding employment in other industries or doing other things, jenna. jenna: that is interesting. when we're talking about construction workers we're not just talking about the folks that build homes. we're also talking about people that build roads and bridges, things like that. congress just passed the transportation bill or was about to before it went into the july 4th weekend, mike. what is potentially the impact of that? >> reporter: well, jenna, period of times say it will help stop the erosion of jobs once state transportation departments will realize they have money from the 27-month transportation bill. they will be able to fund long-term projects. won't be expecting a jump in employment from it but most likely scenarios the contractors will hang onto the workers they have, expecting more public sector work in the pipeline and won't move forward with laying people off. president obama is due to sign the highway and transit bill into law later today. jenna? jenna: mike emanuel, live in washington. mike, thank you. jon: get into america's election headquarters now. on the campaign trail governor mitt romney reportedly making some changes to his campaign staff or additions at least. the republican candidate said to be adding a few seasoned veterans to his communication team. this comes after some criticism of the campaign from fellow conservatives. let's get it into with monica crowley, radio talk show host and author of the new book, "what the [bleep] just happened". happy warrior's guide to the american comeback. julie roginsky former advisor to senate democrat frank lautenberg from new jersey. monica, adding to the campaign, primarily press people, spokesman, will that help mitt romney? are you one of those conservatives critical what he has been saying of late? >> i was disappointed it took governor romney so long to call obamacare a tax which is what the chief justice called it in his one man decision. took him a couple days to identify it as a tax when it a clearly is. this essentially was a political gift for governor romney, now the president, his opponent, has to defend a highly unpopular bill in calm kiar as well as massive tax hikes that will come with it. instead of capitalizing on that right away, he left this sort of vacuum for one of his top strategists eric fern strom to say it is not a penalty, it is. the question of bringing in the right people to make sure everybody, all of the surrogates as well as candidate stays on message. jon: is the problem mitt romney's staff? >> no, the problem is mitt romney specifically on this issue. empty romney in massachusetts himself, rom may kiar called it a -- romney-care. called it a tax. and form you have to fill out it calls it a tax. the problem, you can't blame this on the staff. i have tremendous sympathy for staff. they're getting mixed messages from the principal himself. when mitt romney is himself confused what this is his staff will be confused. why which is problem is not bringing in a new staff. the problem governor romney himself and figuring out exactly what he stands for. he flip-flopped on some issues no wonder his staff gets confused what he is saying. jon: other conservatives, president obama is vulnerable to conservative and mitt romney runs a risk, a vulnerable, incumbent. did i say conservative? >> no one would accuse him of being a conservative, jon scott. jon: that he is vulnerable and that, that he is, could be beaten after one term in office but that he runs the risk of losing because he is fumbling the ball? >> i think a lot of conservatives are worried that the governor could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory here. this president is very nuller inable. we got bad nor bad economic news with only 80,000 jobs in june. anemic economic growth, 1.5% only in the second quarter. we've got socialized medicine highly unpopular that now president obama needs to defend. so, you would say that the obama campaign is a target-rich environment. the point is that the governor really needs to focus on the economy, putting americans back to work, and also, i would argue, talking about big themes. let this surrogates go out there to pound obama's record. the governor should be talking about big themes about how to get this economy back on track, putting americans back to work. also the idea of big america as opposed to big government america. jon: the president, julie, defended the stimulus as something that helped create jobs. now you have increase actually in unemployment among state and local government workers, in large part because the stimulus money went to the state and local governments is -- >> ran out, going away. so how does the president defend that. >> well, because the republican congress unfortunately would not him continue to what he had to do. pulled money back before essentially it had time to do the work. when you're in a hole, in a hole obama came into office. can't argue that the economy was not horrible to take in. takes more than a few months or year or two to get out of the hole. the problem you have to keep priming the pump. monica would disagree with this. when you have republican congress wanted to watch obama fail, who on day one of his inauguration got together and said our only priority to make sure this president does not get a second term, don't care about the american people. they don't understand is, when obama does poorly the american people do poorly. that goes for any incumbent president. i wasn't rooting for george w. bush to fail because i knew america would fail if george w. bush would fail. republican congress doesn't have the attitude. that's why we're left with the mess today. >> when you talk about priming the pump most americans said we'll give the president and his approach in terms of this massive keynesian infusion of government money into the economy let's try that. obviously has not worked when you talk about getting economy going again it is about unleashing private sector. when they passed this nearly trillion dollar stimulus president obama and his economic team promised this point, 3 1/2 years into hi tenure after the stimulus unemployment would be 5.6%. here we are at 8.2. number is going in right direction. >> said it would be 8%. missed about .2 percentage points. >> millions ever people are still out of work. >> a lot better than it was when obama came in. under bush we had job growth go down. under obama we had job growth two down. >> blame bush again. >> i'm not blaming bush. when you get into the mess that bush got us into takes more than a snap of fingers to get us out of it. jon: we'll have lead the discussion there, julie, monica, thank you both. jenna: new job numbers out today, jon? jon: there are jobs numbers. we were talking about them a little bit. jenna: reaction on wall street so far. politics out of it a little bit here is not so good. down 175 points today. 80,000 jabs added last month. certainly a lot of dynamics at play when it comes to the markets and economy. you have europe. health care law. you have banking regulations. what should we expect of this recovery. what is realistic?

the president said it could take years, up to 10 years in fact to recover from such a severe recession. today house speaker john boehner said the president had am he pell time to implement policies to create more jobs. joining us now, mike santoli, associate editor with baron's magazine. charles payne, a stocks news contributor. steve moore, back with us senior economics writer at "wall street journal" expectations is everything and we look at the jobs report and wonder did they meet expectations or not? mike, president said throughout history it takes countries up to 10 years for countries to recover from a financial crisis of this magnitude. is 10 years realistic? >> i don't know if 10 years is realistic. when you talk about a credit crunch fair yo it takes awhile. this is the way unfortunately a mature advanced economy these days seems to recover. the rate of annual job growth over the last 12 months is not really that much lower than it was in the mid 2000s and early '90's coming out of those recessions even though they are shallower recessions. i think this is unsatisfying reality we have relatively slow growth. we don't have private businesses that see the impetus to getting a aggressive on the job front. i'm not really sure it is a matter of tweaks in policy that will change that soon. jenna: steve, do you agree with that? >> no, i don't. you don't have to take my word for it. it was the president himself, remember, jenna, when he was running for president in 2008, give me four years and i will fix this economy. if i haven't, you can fire me. and here we are, almost four years later and an economy, the problem, mike, as i see it not just that the economy is not performing. it is that it is slowing down. we actually had a pretty nice recovery going earlier this year and now we've had three lousy months of numbers. and i do think it is policy oriented. i think all of these attacks against business, against profits, against rich people, against bain capital and private equity, i think, charles, these are the kinds of things that kind of put a dark cloud over the economy and give resistance to employers to go out there and hire more workers. jenna: charles, you're a boss. you have your own company. sometimes when a company is not doing well, you replace the boss in hopes that a new boss will make the company, you know, perform better. but sometimes it is not a new boss. the company just needs structural changes. it needs a massive renovation if you will. is that what we need for our economy? or is it to steve's point, about the boss? >> i'm more inclined to agree with steve and say that you know what, whether we're a mature economy or, you know, i'm not buying that particular argument. you know, i look back with ronald reagan did, which i think by the way was a worse, more dire situation both economically and also people don't talk about, the spirit of this nation was a lot worse back then. crime was through the roof. we set records for murders and robberies. america was free-falling and yet ronald reagan created an aura of success. an aura of we can do, can doism. and an aura go out there and get it. right now it is the exact opposite. i hear businessmen being vilified every single day. the president is actually going out in ohio, this week and saying that if you are a boss, if you are a successful businessman, perhaps you don't have the values of regular people or you're not a principled person. i have mean any kind of rhetoric like that alongwith the regulations you're going to pull back. i mean this is what we're seeing in this economy. the bottom line we're not living up to our potential. jenna: let me ask mike about this. mike, you pointed out a pattern we've seen in economies and recoveries over last several daek decades we're following something similar. i will ask you a impossible question how much does psychology play into this at this point in the economy, seeing 80,000 jobs created, how is that a factor? >> look, it is definitely a factor. i think it is impossible to quantify and also impossible to get to the source of it. talk about the vilification of business. i wouldn't deny that there is anti-business tone of rhetoric but probably peaked about 3 1/2 years ago. i have really don't think it has gotten worse. i think you have a stop and start recovery which is kind of what you have when you have this impaired, system. we should have had probably two more recessions in the '80s and '90s we did. we were able to borrow our way through it to keep the consumer going. that hasn't happened this time around. what is more vilified than the domestic oil and gas industry? what is one of the big growth sectors of economy. i feel like you're not really seeing the kind of, unfriendly words coming from the top being a reason that mid continent oil and gas producers are not hiring people. >> hold on. jenna: hold on a second, here, steve. i want to bring it back to real life. madelyn wrote me. 16 years old on twitter. madelyn says i'm concerned about my future. is there hope out there? steve, only 30 seconds from there. >> look there is hope. we get the policies right and maybe we get new leadership. i think the economy is prepped for a big expansion i really do. when the president says that what we have to do is get economy going hire more teachers and firefighters he is living under a delusion. jenna: guys we will have you come back and talk about the oil and gas companies. mike teed up everybody and we weren't able to take a swing. we'll talk more about that. >> see you. jon: you weren't trying to fire charles in that segment? jenna: not not at all. charles is excellent boss. i know some of his employees they love him. you know, you have to cues use it as an example, a metaphor. jon: two weeks into the summer and already most of the country is baking. what can you do to keep your family safe in this dangerous heat wave? we have the doctors in and on call. also new fallout over the dismal jobs report just ahead. an inside look at what it could mean for the president's re-election efforts.

[ chirp ] jenna: right now some brand new stories and breaking news on hour two of "happening now." coming up, an interesting story out of texas. a principal there is in hot water for secretly taping her child's coach. why she had a camera planted in the school locker room and the harsh penalty e's facing now. we're going to talk more about that. plus, do you depend on the internet every day? come monday you may be out of luck. tens of thousands could go without service. we're going to tell you why and what to do to keep connected. and scott peterson, a name you probably haven't heard in a while, is back in the headlines. this time he's appealing his conviction. we're going to tell you on what grounds and his chances of winning. it's all new, it's all live, it's "happening now." back to that extreme heat now melting records across the country. we're glad you're with us on this friday, i'm jenna lee. jon: staying cool, we hope. i'm jon scott. blistering temperatures are creating dangerous conditions, 13 deaths blamed on the weather. excessive heat warnings across the country as millions of americans look for any sign of relief. chief meteorologist rick reichmuth with the extreme weather news. >> reporter: you look, jon, at that picture of manhattan, and everybody's on the street. you have to be outside, and that's causing problems across the big cities in the northeast. the bull's eye is still across parts of the central plains. heat indices well over 100 again, but all of this heat you think it's hot in the northeast right now and the mid atlantic, get ready because this is move anything that direction for the next couple of days. we still have a few more days to go. there is relief, i'll show you that in a second, but it feels like 105 right now in chicago, 103 in st. louis, and, you know, after you've been doing this for day and day and day and the nighttime's not cooling down that much, the heat begins to really build, and that's where it becomes even more dangerous because you don't get that kind of cooldown during the evening hours. today's highs, though, all the heat you can see where it is across the east, and the west has been well below average. a lot of rain showers across the four corners, and that's keeping the temperatures down, in fact, breaking records for low highs there while we're breaking the high records across parts of the east. tomorrow you'll notice the temps still extremely warm, especially across the ohio valley. little bit of a cooldown in chicago, but then a big warm-up across the mid atlantic. go towards sunday, though, and you look at the colors, and they change a lot. chicago, your air temperature on sunday down to 82, cleveland, 82. kansas city, 94. so a big relief here building in, and by the time we get to monday, jon, most of these areas here in the plains are going to be looking at temperatures at least where they should be for this time of year, maybe even 4-5 degrees below average which is a nice break. but we've got to get through this weekend, everybody needs to do everything they can to take good care this weekend. jon: just hang in there for a couple more days, right? >> reporter: exactly. jon: rick, thanks. >> we learned this morning our businesses created 84,000 new jobs last month, and that overall means that businesses have created 4.4 million new jobs over the past 28 months, including 500,000 new manufacturing jobs. jenna: this just in, the president reacting to the new jobs report, a few numbers there, calling it a, quote, step in the right direction. but mitt romney weighing in with a very different reaction. take a listen to this. >> we have seen the jobs report this morning, and it is another kick in the gut to middle class families. jenna: so here are the numbers. the labor department reporting unemployment stayed at 3.2% -- 8.2% in june after u.s. employers added 80,000 jobs. senior white house foreign affairs correspondent wendell goler is following the story today at the white house. wendell? >> reporter: the president put the best face he could on a jobs report that was not just a monthly disappointment, it was consistent with the past three months in which job growth has been about a third of what it was the first three month of the year. not enough to lower the jobless rate at all, and certainly not enough to lower it as much as the president wants. >> we can't be satisfied because our goal was never to just keep on working to get back to where we were back in 2007. i want to get back to a time when middle class families and those working to get into the middle class have some basic security. that's our goal. [applause] so we've got to grow the economy even faster. >> reporter: earlier the president greeted patrons at a diner in akron, ohio, this morning. he he had hoped for better job numbers. both ohio and pennsylvania have done better than the national average in terms of climbing out of the recession, and both are battleground states in which polls suggest mr. obama is leading. but with the election widely expected to turn on the economy, mitt romney took a break from his vacation to call today's jobs report, as we heard, another kick in the gut for the middle class. >> this is not a monthly statistic or even a half yearly statistic. we've looked at, now, almost four years of policies that have not gotten america working today. his tax policies have not encouraged working in america. obamacare has made it less likely for small businesses to hire. >> reporter: the jobs report allowed the romney campaign to switch the subject from whether the former governor's massachusetts health care plan used a penalty or a tax to pressure people to buy insurance. that was a distraction for a couple of days. the supreme court has ruled the federal penalty amounts to a tax which romney says means mr. obama broke his promise not to raise taxes on the middle class. now, the president said today it amounts to a penalty that only effects freeloaders who can afford health insurance but refuse to buy it. he said he makes no apology for it. nna: we're going to hear that term a lot more. i can't help but ask you about one of our other top stories, how is it to stand outside the white house in a suit -- can't we get you inside just for today, wendell? >> reporter: listen, it's really not bad for me because i come out here for ten minutes, you know, and i've got a fan blowing on me, and i go back into the air-conditioning. but i feel bad for some of my colleagues here at the white house only got power back the last day or so at their homes. and so they've been living in this, sweltering in this without air-conditioning, without all the -- all the food is spoiled, they can't use their microwaves and, you know, you can only spend so much time at the movie theater. jenna: you better invite them over to your house, wendell. >> reporter: i think there'd be too many of them. jenna. [laughter] jenna: great to see you today, thank you. jon: a top general who defected from syria reportedly on his way to paris right now where international diplomats are meeting today. secretary of state hillary clinton talking tough there, urging world powers to pressure russia and china into forcing president assad to step down. leland vittert is keeping an eye on all of that live from jerusalem. leland? >> reporter: hi, jon. what was so unusual today is the secretary of state's language saying russia and china would, quote, have to pay a price for supporting president assad. that is not the kind of language you usually hear from the u.s. secretary of state, especially publicly today at the friends of syria meeting. it's clear the united states and their allies are changing tactics a little bit. they're using this meeting to try and draw up a coalition not only against assad, but also about china and russiaho has been supporting the syrians at the u.n. and right now we are hearing that the united states may once again head to the u.n. and ask for increased sanctions against president assad. this comes as today friday prayers ended in syria, and once more people took to the streets demanding president assad step down and, of course, as usually happens there, we are hearing reports of more and more people dead inside of syria there and demanding the president step down. in fact, a u.n. monitor who was there supposed to be monitoring a ceasefire, his troops have not left their compound, he says it's just too dangerous, and the civil war is getting even worse. as be to that point we have now had the first high-level defection from the military over to the p opposition. and this is the general, he is a good friend of president assad. in fact, his father -- this is the general here -- his father used to be the defense minister. and the one thing that has been very critical for president assad holding on to power is the fact that he's been able to keep such loyalty among his troops and his army that has started shelling civilian populations. this may be the very first crack in the armor with the general heading not only to turkey, but now to go meet with that friends of syria group. but what's also interesting here is that the general didn't take with him any of his men. he didn't bring a brigade over to go fight now against the syrian army, so the defection may mean a lot symbolically, but not a lot practically. and still, jon, as we're hearing that the friends of syria out of this meeting in paris are now going to start significantly increasing their aid to the opposition and trying to supply them with communications equipment and other things, still the problem on the ground in syria is that the opposition is so fractured no one really knows who exactly they're talking to, and that's something that's very much a bother to the united states as we're now learning that al-qaeda groups are heading into syria. the last thing the united states and all the western allies want to be doing is arming or providing assistance to al-qaeda groups who are just looking to destabilize the country. still very, very complicated inside syria. jon? back to you. jon: it would be nice to see some other military leaders follow the general and defect. leland vittert, thanks. jenna: well, now this fox news alert, new sounds from the president on the campaign trail today talking about the supreme court's ruling on health care. let's take a listen. >> if you have health insurance, you're all good. if you don't have health insurance, we'll help you get it. if you can afford to buy health insurance and you don't get it so that you force us to pay for your health care when you get sick or you get in an accident, that ain't right. so what we're going to do is we're going to charge you a penalty to make sure that you're not unloading those costs on everybody else. it will effect less than 1% of the population because most americans are responsible. jenna: so that leads us to this question, what's next in the health care debate? house republicans are renewing efforts to repeal the health care overhaul, i should say. if successful, though, republicans acknowledge they're going to need to replace the law's most popular provisions. one of those is financial help for the poor and the uninsured. and they're looking at tax credits as a way to cover the cost. chief national correspondent jim angle's live on this story with more. >> reporter: hello, jenna. well, you're right. republicans promised not only to repeal obamacare, but also to replace it, and part of that task as they see it is to help the uninsured buy insurance in a competitive market. there's one big difference with the president's plan. he decided to use a stick, a mandate, to force people to buy insurance. republicans have a different approach. >> many on the other side see that there is an alternative if we actually use carrots and provide the right incentives for people to want to buy health insurance and actually give them more choices for the health care coverage that they think is valuable to them. >> reporter: now, republican lawmakers argue you can't have millions of uninsured in the country without creating chaos for the health care system, so some analysts propose tax credits to help people buy insurance. >> i think we ought to have a tax credit of about $2500 for an adult. i think a family of four could get about $8,000, and that would buy the core insurance that we want everyone to have. >> it gets us closer to universal coverage than obamacare does. this allows the 50 million individuals that are currently inuninsured to be able to actually have the money to go out and purchase in a competitive market their own insurance. this will help entrepreneurs and those that simply can't afford insurance right now. >> reporter: now, conservatives would take the $300 billion or so now spent to subsidize health care and simply give it out in what are called refund bl tax credits, meaning people get the designated money even if they don't pay that much in taxes; money to purchase insurance, and under republican proposals, from companies all over the country competing for their business. >> saves hundreds of billions of dollars and does all of that without putting the federal government in charge. >> reporter: so republicans argue they can help the uninsured buy insurance without restructuring the entire health care system or raising taxes. jenna? jenna: we'll continue to follow what's next, jim. thank you. >> reporter: you bet. jon: some shocking developments toring you in the disappearance of a coed in louisiana. an arrest is made in the case of mickey shoenik. wait until you hear who the suspect is. and with today's weak job numbers, starbucks is trying to perk up the economy. how that coffee giant is keeping jobs in this country. a party?

jon: helpful advice, harris, thanks. jenna: well, a middle school principal in texas is facing up to 20 years in prison -- 20 years -- for allegedly planting a camera in a high school locker room. now, prosecutors say wendy long wanted to see how her daughter's new coach talked to the team after the girls complained the coach simply was yelling too much. police arrested her earlier this week on charges of improper photography and wiretapping. the question here, did she, indeed, go too far? let's bring in our legal panel, former prosecutor dan shore and criminal defense attorney john man wellen. dan, kid she go too far? >> she did. she probably won't get any jail time at all, but she has to be held accountable. she planted a camera, that definitely violates the improper photography statute. and, remember, what if this was a male principal who did this and tried to spy on girls in a locker room? you have to draw a line. this wasn't in a public place, it wasn't at a park. it was in a girls' locker room, and you have to say this can't happen. jenna: john, we were asking questions in our editorial meeting because in some schools a locker room is where people change, in other schools sometimes it's just a meeting place where you gather and have your halftime talk or whatever it is. does that detail matter here, or is that a new point? >> no, it absolutely matters, jenna, because there's an expectation of privacy that is required under the statute in which ms. long is being charged. if there was no expectation of privacy, then it's going to be an absolute defense in the case, and if there was none, then it may -- if there was an expectation, she's going to be in trouble. but again, i don't think she's going to do 20 years in prison. i think this is a quite draconian law, if you ask me. i think there was no pernicious intent. she was checking to see whether or not her daughter was being mistreated, so i think at the best case scenario this should be a civil lawsuit and not a criminal one. jenna: interesting. john makes some interesting points, dan. we've all seen the footage of bobby knight, right? throwing the chairs at -- i mean, that was a very public display, but some coaches take it too far. this was a high school basketball team, if i have that correct, and, you know, they were complaining that they were being abused by the coach, and no one was seeing it. so if you're a concerned parent, she took a couple steps maybe too far in some folks' opinion, but, you know, what are you to do? >> it's a legitimate concern in a basketball coach. some coaches go too far, but there are legitimate, other ways to go about trying to solve the problem. you can report it, you could talk to authorities, you can do a school investigation, but you can't put a camera inside a girls' locker room. it sets a precedent that other people could abuse, and she should be prosecuted. i wouldn't expect jail time here, but definitely law enforcement should get involved to make sure other people don't do this. jenna: john, i want to go back to the other point that dan made, if this was a man, how different would this case be? >> it might be. but let me ask you this, jenna, what is the harm or injury to the victim in this case? what has happened where this lady deserves to have a felony conviction? i think it's just harsh. the texas law states this could be filed as a civil case. to give this lady a felony conviction, lose her job, her reputation, her status in the community, i just think it's really, really harsh. jenna: is a felony conviction something you think is suitable here? >> not necessarily. there might be a lesser-included misdemeanor, so we're not looking to ruin her life. however, you do have to set the word out in the community that you can't put a camera there. what if you were in your own workout gym and you were in the locker room and someone recorded you? you have an expectation of privacy in a locker room, and that was violated here, and that's specifically mentioned in the statute. jenna: john, quick final thought on this? >> i think if it's a public place, there is no expectation of privacy. if there was a one-on-one conversation between a coach and another student, then perhaps she did violate the law. jenna: interesting, john and dan. i wonder if the coach has changed his technique at all? that could be interesting to follow up. nice to have you both today. thank you for the time. >> thank you. jon: news outlets are all geared up for the presidential election with comprehensive coverage as the campaign heats up. some voters, though, may be taking a vacation from politics. coming up, how the media are covering the candidates. plus, true or false, can you tell if you're getting sick from excessive heat? the answer from our medical panel ahead. plus, you can sent r send us your -- send us your questions. log on to foxnews.com/happeningnow, we'll answer them later on. jenna: now this fox business alert, wall street sharply lower. the dow down 170 points now, a little bit more than that. the white house saying more needs to be done to create jobs, and there's simply no quick fix. rich edson's live on the story with more. >> reporter: hey, good afternoon, jenna. analysts were expecting about 90,000 jobs to be created last month. instead, the u.s. economy puts up 80,000 jobs. the unemployment rate holds steady at 8.2%. the economy averaging only 75,000 jobs created a month, and to put that in perspective, you need more than 100,000 just to keep up with population growth. as for the response from the white house, they say job gains are at least a step in the right direction. >> when we take a step back and look at the numbers, we can see that the economy's on a better path than we had been on. >> reporter: still, a real tough go at it, and when you look at what the republican response is, they say the president -- according to house speaker john boehner -- bet on a failed stimulus spending binge that led to 41 months of unemployment above 8%, he bet on a government takeover of health care that's driving up costs and making it harder for small businesses to hire. still some other bad news out there when you look at the long-term effects of this. about five and a half million folks have been out of work for at least half a year. jenna? jenna: long time, rich, thank you. the president reacting to the june jobs reports moments ago. take a listen. >> we learned this morning that our businesses created 84,000 new jobs last month, and that overall means that businesses have created 4.4 million new jobs over the past 28 months, including 500,000 new manufacturing jobs. [applause] that's a step in the right direction. [cheers and applause] that's a step in the right direction. but we can't be satisfied because our goal was never to just keep on working to get back to where we were back in 2007. i want to get back to a time when middle class families and those working to get into the middle class have some basic security. jenna: the president again on the jobs numbers. if you listen to his remarks there, there's a few different numbers he talked about. but the president says businesses have created 4.4 million new jobs over the past 28 months, or a little over two years. but remember, the president has been in office for roughly three-and-a-half years, and according to the labor department since the president took office in january of 2009 the private and public sectors combined have actually lost 473,000 jobs. jon: well, the122012 presidentil election justurummer up, the level of interest might be cooling off. so how well are the news media doing their jobs as we get ready for election 2012? let's talk about it with judith miller, a pulitzer prize-winning investigative reporter and author, marvin kalb is also with us, former moderator of "meet the press," and both are fox news contributors. part of our discussion today is motivated by this pew poll about what people think of this election campaign. let's take a look at the numbers because so far voters think that this year's presidential election campaign, when asked whether it will be exhausting, annoying, informative or exciting, 67% overall say exhausting, 63% say annoying, only 49% down there on the bottom think it's going to be exciting. marvin, what do you make of those numbers? >> i tell you, i'm rather excited about 49%. [laughter] i didn't realize it was that high. but, you know, we're at that point in a campaign now where both candidates are known, the conventions don't take place until the end of august/beginning of september, and the real campaign itself doesn't begin until labor day. so we're in that down period now, and it's understandable that people get bored. jon: there is another side to this, judy, and i'll play that for you. i'll put the numbers up on the screen. the pew folks also asked whether this campaign is informative or important. 79% say, yeah, it's important, but only 40% say it's been informative, only 34% say it's interesting, and 56% say it's just gone on too long. >> well, this was exactly what some people were worried about, and that is the kind of exhaustion factor of more than, you know, 17 debates on the republican side, on the unending campaign. i mean, it just feels, it feels as if it's gone on for so long, and it hasn't even begun. and in terms of informative, what i'm intrigued by is the discontent especially among independent voters. i mean, they're really fed up with both the tone of the campaigns and the nature of the information that they're getting. so i think these numbers are predictable. as marvin said, that's -- this is the election cycle, but i also think it says something about the extent to which the extensive media coverage have made the voters tired already. jon: 56% say too long and too dull, marvin. 53% say it's too negative. there's something wrong with the way we're electing the president these days if you get those kind of numbers, isn't there? >> well, i agree, absolutely. but i'm never quite sure that it's negativity, it's overexposure. there's just so much of the same thing. and so after a while people will naturally look at a romney saying something and say, my god, i've heard him say this 20 times now. but judy's point about this thing going on too long is an american political curse. it's been going on not only in this campaign, but in many other campaigns. and one of the principal reasons is television. people are buying more time on television, and people then get exposed to it over and over again, and they get tired. they don't realize that there is a great continuing democratic experiment that is unfolding. jon: what about the accusation, judy, that president obama's been getting a lot of bad press lately? some in the, some of his supporters are saying that the media have turned against him. is it because the media have turned against him, or is it because there's been a lot of bad news coming out of the white house? >> well, i think there's been some disappointing economic news, but this is a very good week for the president in terms of the obamacare decision. i mean, this is now we can call it obamacare, he's calling it obamacare. he won a major, major battle over his signature legislation. the republicans are now on the defensive. mitt romney hasn't known what to call this, is it a tax, is it a penalty? [laughter] and i think that, actually, the obama campaign should o not be complaining. jon: but at the same time, marvin, the surveys indicate that the american people don't like it. i mean, the supreme court may have approved it, but the american people don't like it. >> well, there's no question that the numbers have remained essentially the same before the supreme court voted and after the supreme court voted. it's still that slight majority. it's not even the majority, it's the plurality of the american people do not care for the obamacare as it is put. one of the reasons in my judgment, anyway, is that it has never been properly explained by the president or the democratic party. i think that when they do get into the campaign -- and it's not going to happen now, but in another couple of months -- there's going to be an emphasis upon this if for no other reason than the republicans will raise it. that then becomes an opportunity for the democrats to respond in a concrete way so that people understand what is, in fact, happening. at this particular point, there's an awful lot of stuff going on that's just words. jon: yeah. >> more words, less words, but it's just words. jon: and a lot of people respect paying attention as the summer is upon us, and people are on vacation. >> and it's hot. [laughter] jon: and it is hot! four months to go. marvin, judy, thank you both. >> thanks, jon. jon: be sure to join us tomorrow for more fox news. watch, 2:30 p.m. eastern time. we'll hear about the big stories of the week on news watch. jenna: convicted murderer scott peterson filing an appeal in california's supreme court. why his lawyer says he simply didn't get a fair trial and should be set free. we have a live report coming up.

[ male announcer ] ok, so you're no marathon man. but thanks to the htc one x from at&t, with its built in beats audio, every note sounds amazingly clear. ...making it easy to get lost in the music... and, well... rio vista?!! [ male announcer ] ...lost. introducing the musically enhanced htc one x from at&t. rethink possible. jon: well, jenna and i are lucky, we get to sit here and do most of our work in the air-conditioned studio, each though the lights get a little warm. jenna: you get a little bit more hot in the studio than i do. one of the questions is about if heat effects men and women differently. we're going to get to the doctors about that. jon: the swepterring heat has been breaking all kinds of records, so what's the best way to handle it? jenna: here, you want to fan yourself? jon: yeah. [laughter] jenna: that was a great question we got from michael pratt on twitter. he wants to know, does the heat effect men more than women or vice versa? dr. patty, what's your experience with that? >> i guess you can't use me as an example because the heat definitely effects me greatly. but, no, i would say that meet effects both sexes, you know, equally. the key is, though, you have to remember it's not just the environmental temperature of the heat, it's also the humidity level, and it's also the activity you're involved in, whether you're taking any medications as well as, you know, your hydration status for the day. jenna: dr. vinocur? any thoughts on this? >> actually, though, i think there is a difference, and it depends on how much percent body fat you have because obesity can actually increase your predisposition to a heat illness, and then, of course, women at a certain age, i mean, they get hot flashes whenever, so i really think it depends also on your fizz logic state, your body has been us the, things like that. jenna: interesting. maybe weight is a factor and also the time in one's life. jon, do you do you have a quest? jon: i personally make a point not to discuss hot flashes. [laughter] you cannot win if you are of the male persuasion. can a person tell if they are sick or getting in severe trouble for heat illness and heatstroke? can you tell that it's coming on? that's one of the true or false questions we've been asking. dr. patty, what's the answer to that? >> well, you can usually start to feel the symptoms, but i think part of the problem is if they come on quickly and you're ignoring the telltale signs and symptoms, then you're going to miss them, and other people are going to have to pick up on it who are with you. so i would have to say that usually you won't see it until it's already taken effect. jon: yeah. we get the false stamp on that one. a lot of the problem, i guess, dr. vin corps, is -- vin corps, is that it kind of addles your brain a little bit so you can't really tell. >> well, you're absolutely right, and it's a spectrum heat illness, so you start out with the sweating, the nausea, the goose pimples even though it's hot out. and once you move into the area where you're really in trouble, it's the confusion, seizures, coma, and then people are incapacitated. so sometimes other people notice it in you, and you have to get out of that heat situation. and that's a true medical emergency, you've got to call 911 right away. jenna: this is the true and false question we asked right before break, does it have to be extremely hot for you to be at the risk for heatstroke? and, of course, we're talking about this, doctor, because it's been so hot, but what is the truth on that? >> well, actually, that is false. i mean, obviously, in very hot weather everyone's at risk. but there are certain people that are more at risk at lower temperatures, people that are dehydrated. we talked about that before. there are certain medications. if you're on a diuretic, it makes you dehydrated. if you drink a lot of alcohol, it can increase your metabolism. other drugs for seizures and medications like that. and people that have heart and luck issue -- lung issues and are sick or debilitated, sick from the flu, they can tend to be more dehydrated, and they can get into heat illness and heat problems at much lower temperatures. you've got to watch out for those. jon: still going to be hot through the weekend, but janice dean tells us it's going to cool off in a couple of days, so that's the good news. >> let's hope for the better weather. jon: doctors, thank you both. jenna: another hot weather hazard you might not think about, beware of the barbecue brush. have you ever thought about this? jon: i just leave my grill dirty. [laughter] jenna: it can stick to the grill after chiening the grates, and several cases have been reported of people getting sick after accidentally swallowing the bristles. some even had to undergo surgery, and doctors recommend throwing out some of the old or worn metal brushes you might be using if you clean your grill -- unlike jon -- and maybe look at some different ways to potentially clean it, using paper towels when it's not hot, obviously, or sponges, something like that. but this is a study that just came out. a doctor in long island -- i believe it was long island -- just started to look at some of the things that came into the emergency room, and that's some of the things he has seen. jon: you could imagine why swallowing a bit of wire would not be good. jenna: keep it dirty. jon: that's my policy. [laughter] hey, with blistering heat baking so much of the country, we're getting wild videos that show just how hot it is out there. a sample right here of some of the crazy video we'll show you coming up. [ kimi ] atti and i had always called oregon home. until i got a job in the big apple. adjusting to city life was hard for me. and becoming a fulltime indoor cat wasn't easy for atti. but we had each other and he had purina cat chow indoor. he absolutely loved it. and i knew he was getting everything he needed to stay healthy indoors. and after a couple of weeks, i knew we were finally home! [ female announcer ] purina cat chow indoor. always there for you. 8% every 10 years.age 40, we can start losing muscle -- wow. wow. but you can help fight muscle loss with exercise and ensure muscle health. i've got revigor. what's revigor? it's the amino acid metabolite, hmb to help rebuild muscle and strength naturally lost over time. [ female announcer ] ensure muscle health has revigor and protein to help protect, preserve, and promote muscle health. keeps you from getting soft. [ major nutrition ] ensure. nutrition in charge! jon: we love to show you the hottest video. these are really hot. in chicago they are expecting temperatures above 100 degrees again today. you could say the area is buckling under the strain of this dangerous he waited. you can see how expanding asphalt is causing problems for drivers. the roads rising up to 3 feet. jenna: here's an example of why it can be so dangerous. an suv hitting an uneven section of the road and wisconsin. you can see right there they catch error. two passengers had to go to the hospital because of that impact. jon: if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. that is what one person dead and annapolis. he actually could fry an egg on the sidewalk. jenna: i'm hungry. are you ready for lunch? jon: yes indian. megyn: we begin with fox news alert with a serious subject. the economy is still struggling. welcome to "america live", i am shannon bream information kelly. it is the third straight month of weak job growth and we are getting down to the wire. there are five monthly jobs report left before the november election. for more chances for president obama to prove the economy is rebounding. take a look at these numbers. 80,000 jobs added in june, 10,000 less than expected. not nearly enough to put a dent in the unemployment rate. but the president and governor mitt romney act to the disappointing jobs numbers. >> we learned this morning that our businesses created 84,000 jobs new month. that means we created a 4.4 million new jobs over the past 20 months, including 500,000 new manufacturing jobs. that is a step in the right direction. >> not only is the 8.2% number unacceptably high, and one that has been in place for over 41 months, but in addition if you look at the broader analysis that people who are out of work or drop
