economic system will thrive once again. we have. neil: one kind of tacky financial issue. we're in the middle of a financial meltdown. do you think we're more focused on the one-year anniversary coming up and as a-year anniversary? >> for me and for many of the firefighters and police officers that i joint for more the more -- for the memorial service, this will never leave us. the country must move on, but we must never forget the sacrifices made and white building economically is important to cherishing the memories of those who we lost that day. neil: thank you for putting up in the rain. he said comed least my hair is not getting wet. that is his way of zinging it back. >> how do i look? neil: thank you very much he is going to stick around on our show. i should be about 3 feet under water. my crew is tired of this. when you look back at what we were talking about here, imagine being the president of the united states, imagine being the guy reading that book to those kids, delivering the news that a terrorist attack has

this is an avowed communist who wants to change the entire american economic system. the question is, why is this man in this position? we are talking about one of the president's closest advisors. >> you have to wonder if the president knew this and if they didn't they did a lousy job of background check. if he did know it, that's really frightening. i don't see how he stays because we are not talking about somebody who said some things that only offend the far right. we are talking about somebody whose position on what happened 9/11 being one of the so-called truthers, this is radical stuff. this is so far out there that i don't see how the president can keep him in his circle of advisors without completely losing what credibility he has left at this point. he has to throw him overboard. sean: so we know the president is going to address the nation next wednesday night, a joint session of congress. as he goes into that chamber, americans by a 2-1 margin says that the congress is too liberal. we also know that the pew poll shows that the opinion of congress is at a 2

. >> he also said he does not blame the american people but our economic system. trace: what is the other controversy regarding where these heads of state are staying, and who is paying for it. >> you can be had of state, but that does not mean that you could put your head down on a pillow. start with mahmoud ahmadinejad. he usually stays at the international hotel. they did not allow him to have reservations this time around. meanwhile, muammar al-qaddafi, the head of libya. he wanted to pitch a tent in central park. that was not allowed. he wanted to do that in new jersey in front of the libyan mission. instead of staying at the pierre hotel, he will be staying just a couple of blocks away from there. now the question is, will president obama bob into ahmadinejad and al-qaddafi, even if he does not? that is a good question. even if they try to avoid each other, the secretary-general had a launched a march for the head of state. frankly, there is nothing stopping unidentified or al- qaddafi from saddling up to the president at one of his functions and saying hell

now president obama wants the government to run the financial system and the health care industry. my opinion, that will lead to disaster for the country. quite simply, the federal government cannot run the economy. health care, or assure your personal happiness. the president obama continues down the big government road of social engineering, you will see massive, and i mean massive corruption. might left of center see the u.s.a. go into bankruptcy and dollar crash. already speculators are betting against the dollar which is troubling because all of our savings and earnings are based on a viable american dollar. the federal government's primary job is to protect us from bad people. whether they are terrorists, corrupt speculators, or health care charlotte tans. this oil speculation deal should be enormous wakeup call for all of us. that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. let's bring in fox news analyst karl rove from washington. so, mr. rove, what say you? >> i want to see the whole report. what we saw in the "wall street journal" today was a leak of a report. i frankly do

of all americans. i am deeply grateful for their efforts. i especially want to thank my own family, my wife, and my children. without their support and sacrifice, i could not undertake this task. the federal reserve, like other policy makers has been challenged by the unprecedented events of the past few years. we have been bold and deliberate as circumstances demanded. our objective remains constant, to restore a more stable financial and economic environment where opportunity can once again flourish and hard work and creativity can receive proper rewards. mr. president, i commit to you and the american people, i will work to the utmost of my abilities alongside the congress and the administration to help provide a solid foundation for growth and prosperity in an environment of instability. thank you, sir. >> thank you. megyn: there you have it. the president naming ben bernanke as his fed chief for the next few years. he will be subjected to a confirmation process. this does not come as a huge surpri

rushed through the massive health care system changes, there is a lack of trust, would you agree? >> absolutely. everybody seems to be in a hurry with the obama administration and for the democrat-driven congress. everybody is in such a hurry, but this thing doesn't start until 2013. what's the rush? you know, this is basically in the house bill, it's a completely democrat bill. they allowed very few amendments by the republicans. we should sit down at the table. there are better ideas which won't have the government telling us the life and death decisions that we have to make in our lives. i think that everybody is concerned about that and if they don't want to do it, take it out. >> you know what a lot of people are concerned about? we asked our viewers if they could ask the president a question, what would it be and sweet mtm would ask, i would like to know if obama has fuelly read the bill and why are the v.a. and tri care benefits going to be reduced? i want to start with a lot of americans are concerned with whether or not the president has read the bill. do you know the ans

there is a core economic problem in american health-care system which by the way seen other healthcare systems like candidates. people pay relatively little for the out-of-pocket health care they receive. $.13 on every dollar in the united states. in the summer in canada, similar across western europe. in those countries like the contrasts in now the government turned around and said that, people don't pay very much, cause continued to rise year-to-year the government will ration. i would suggest you that's the wrong approach for united states. and there are better approaches to take. >> clayton: dr. david critser from toronto this morning. a canadian physician and author of the book picture. thanks to bring us this morning and i thank you. >> clayton: on the show cash for clunkers gets another $2 billion but it turns out peers have enough cash to offer even better bargains. surprising details straight ahead. you all want to run your businesses more efficiently, so we've brought in a team of experts to help. one suggestion is to make your shipping more efficient with priority mail flat

a conversation that will help american schoolchildren become economically and intellectually more competitive in the future. in about 40 minutes they will arrive at the master charter school. they will check out a few different glasses, then head over to a public school for a roundtable discussion. martha: we are going to talk about extending school hours as well, making your school day a bit longer, kids. bill: how is that going to go over? thought [laughter] news alert right now, -- [laughter] fox news alert right now. republicans going down to the senate floor to call for 72 hours to review a health-care bill before holding a vote. that is 3 days. shocker. remember, we talked about this for weeks. whenever these bills come up, they have not been given their 72 hour window. these republican senators are demanding that. you can hear the echoes coming out of read the bill, read the bill. later this morning we will be in touch with our capitol hill team. martha: here is an argument with huge stakes in the balance. israeli intelligence says that iran is working on a nuclear warhead as we speak.

growth bill such as we developed that american solutions, and they could develop a health reform that didn't ration care, didn't raise taxes, create the government, but did very dramatically reform and improve the health system. i think both mcconnell and john boehner would be willing to sit down with the president and try to develop a genuinely diverse and i'm =*speaker3 isn't this one of the realities washington? i remember president bush is the compassionate conservative would bring everyone together again to any legislature but then he admitted hitting the realities of the sea. is that what he is hitting her? the realities ofa@ the cpq. >> i don't think so. my wife and i recently did a movie called rod -- bob reagan, a rendezvous with destiny. if you watch president reagan, he was very disciplined. he might fight with tip o'neill during the day but the get-together after 5:00 o'clock to have a drink and chat and tell jokes. president reagan understood because he had governed in california with a democratic legislature, and he knew if he couldn't find a way to reach out and work wi

credit was frozen and our financial system was on the verge of collapse. as any american who is still looking for work or a way to pay their bills will tell you, we are by no means out of the woods. a full and vibrant recovery is still many months away. and i will not let up until those americans who seek jobs can find them. [ applause ] until those -- until those businesses that seek capital and credit can thrive, until all responsible homeowners can stay in their homes, that is our ultimate goal. but thanks to the bold and decisive action we have taken since january, i can stand here with confidence and say that we have pulled this economy back from the brink. [cheers and applause] now, i want to thank the members of this body for your efforts and your support in these last several months. and especially those who have taken the difficult votes that have put us on the path to recovery. i also want to thank the american people for their patience and resolve during this trying time for our nation. but we did not come here just to clean up crises. we came h

system. look at the cbo study. what they're talking about is costs incurred by the federal government. they're not looking at the overall savings, if we bring in more modernized health care system and everybody agrees that's necessary. look, health care costs are right now 16% of our gdp and expected to rise. health care premiums are rising three times faster than wages and we know that's unsustainable and we all need we need to find a solution to address those challenges. >> brad, the question is not only how much it costs, but where will the money go specifically and one of the concerns might end up being that some of the money from the federal government could end up going to states who use it for family planning as part that have family planning could be abortion. how do you come to a bipartisan solution on this when you have of at least the conservatives who would say, no way? >> you don't. because you can't put a gun to our heads like they did with the stimulus bill and tell us things t

bill: the economic crunch now driving many americans to discount food retailers. the top retailers in 2009 turned out to be wal-mart, kroger, costco, and super value -- supervalu, three of which are discount chains. while many companies scale back during this session, all these actually expanded. on the job hunt in chicago. what are they doing right? >> good morning to you, bill. all of these, basically very efficient. they now have to do with less space. there's about 1400 items at the store compared to if you go to a larger one was 40,000 items. managers say that a lot of new customers are taking a chance on them during this economy, even those who have never been to the store before, and they have done very well during this recession. bill: so how many jobs are we talking about and creating a few open 80 stores? >> there is good news and bad news. 80 stores opened this year, but a store like this only needs about 10 or 15 employees to operate. some stores only need five employees to operate. that is the bad news across the country. that is about 1000 jobs, but

in normal economic times, it is two. heather: wow, six americans competing for every one american job out there. thank you. jon: a new video raising major concerns about the safety of the metro train system serving the nation's capital. this time, a train operator appears to be sleepy while the train is barely down the tracks. two weeks ago, a metro train crash left nine people dead. tell us about this new video. >> this video was taken on june 18, just a few days before the deadly crash. it was the deadliest crash in d.c. metro history and it killed nine people, including the train operator. on the youtube video, you see the train operators sleeping on the job. he is not looking up for anything on the tracks. this video was taken by a 14- year old and posted on youtube. when the crash happened, that is when he posted this. jon: what has been the reaction from the d.c. metro? >> the d.c. metro has been getting a lot of heat as a video surfaced of an operator text messaging around the same time. tensions are very high her

systems in the world. people are worried that the quality and wait time will go down. why do you think they are wrong? >> it will be american health care reform. it will not be canadian or british. we may learn from their mistakes. lessons learned, learning from what was successful and what was not successful. but it will be an american system that will be based on our culture and diversity. and other issues that we go through every day. i do not think that it will be canadian or british. i think it will be an american system. megyn: thank you for coming on and telling your story. >> thank you for having me. bill: in a moment, freedom of speech, not for the owners of a shopping mall in north carolina. new developments in the case of a businessman who got the boot for selling products with a conservative theme. megyn: on the docket today in "kelly's court," a sex crimes prosecutor accused of rape by a fellow prosecutor. he says it was consensual. she says it was out of control. who is lying? an incredible c

system. courts do not make law or set policy in the american legal system. allowing and elected officials -- unelected officials to set law goes against policy. sully swearing to faithfully impart and discharge the duties incumbent under the constitution and laws of the united states. we have a moral authority under the system, which is why americans accept the ruling of the court even when they disagree. our legal system is based on the firm belief of an ordered universe. the trial is the process by which the impartial and wise judge guides us the truth. down the other path, a brave new world where words have no true meaning in judges are allowed to decide the facts the juice to see. in this world a judge pushes their own political or social agenda. america rejects that view. we have seen federal judges force their political and social agenda on the nation, dictating words like underdog being removed from the pledge of allegiance, barring students from even silent prayer in schools. the judg

that will not play out in the american capitalist system. we need a free market to work. when it comes to government intervention, it is big spending. guess what? what comes with big spending is more bureaucracy. sean: that is extremely well said. what is your hand in the air for? >> i wanted to go the bathroom. [laughter] sean: i have a question for you. when you look at those numbers and see that obama wants to take over newspapers and health care and everything, on top of everything else, do you think that these numbers are scary? >> could you repeat that? do not. you will say it again tomorrow in the next day. first of all, the american people have not wanted the government involved in their lives. it was an extraordinary time when the government had to be involved to save this economy. if i could correct you, you say that he wants to bailout baffling newspapers? this was what he said -- i do not know anything about that, i am happy to look at it. he is even happy to look at you for about two seconds. he cannot wait to put you on the christmas list. sean: do you think

system. i was blown away by this, greta. i try to find ways of exposing this. i was shocked to see that americans have no trust in their government right now. they think that 50 cents out of every dollar they are sending to washington is wasted, and if you add that up, which are now spending $4 trillion a year, and that means that americans think that $2 trillion in washington is wasted -- we are now spending $4 trillion a year. they are sending out checks to dead people and people in prison. the store you just did, greta, with the overpayments to medicare. 40 cents out of every medicare a dollar is a fraudulent claim. by the way, greta, that is why people are marching on washington. greta: it is disturbing how so many people are so discouraged. it is one thing to be discouraged. it is another thing to hear about fraud and wastes. of course, there are those acorn tapes, and those are not very encouraging. there is not a lot on the bright side tonight, but about people's thoughts about the gov
