>> good morning, thanks for joining us. you forgive us if we seem out of sorts and discombomulated. we were up last night. at the new city field. >> we have so many fox fans there. and good mets game and it was a lot of fun and food. and great to meet the viewers. former president cheney is in the hospital where he is expected to undergo more tests today . they join us live from washington with the latest. what do we know this morning melanie. we know that former president cheney is here in the hospital and uncheer how serious his - unclear how serious his condition is. he had come in for tests after importancing dis-- experiencing discomfort. he issued a statement reading former vice-president cheney was not feeling well and seen by his doctors in george washington university. on the advice of physicians he was admitted to the office for further testing and expected to be there ov the weekend. not clear what it is. his last heart attack was in february of this year. that was mild one but his fourth one. he's had angio plaste to clear his arteries and a pace maker. that didn't slow him down and since leaving office he is one of the vocal critics of the bum bull administration criticizing the president. >> thanks. we'll keep an eye on his condition all morning. >> we'll turn to the rolling ton arcticle. the military spoking out against rolling stone magazine breaking ground rule in journalism. so the question is, did rolling stone publish the comments on the record remarks by general mcchrystal. was that journalistically unethical to do given the circumstances. >> the military said none of the solacious quotes from president obama or vice-president biden were in official interviews. they took them from off the record discussions about the over all theme and chain of command in afghanistan. none theless, still looks like he should have been out. whether on or off the record. >> he hasn't dispouted them. all he said he apologized and then he resigned. he hasn't disputed them. here's what rolling stone said. a lot of things were said off of the record and didn't use. we abided by the ground rules in every instance. there were multiapproximately times where there was off the record and background or not foracious tribulation. unless the source specifically said this next part is off of the record and turn off your tape recorder and take the pen off of your hand. but sometimes the sources don't realize geraldo's point. he spends time embedded with the troop in afghanistan . the idea is, you are certainly sitting there for hours at a time, right. there might be time when you are having direct one on one sprues and kicking back and enjoying the beer and literally at the airport. >> you let your guard down. >> you let the guard down . whether or not this reporter hastings decided to print it and say you know what, i am going to go with it. >> geraldo said they have an obligation to ask general mcchrystal if this is on the record. >> will it cost rolling stone in the future yes. will military leaders taug it them. >> no. >> they bedepame relevant. >> they don't care if they burn their bridges. >> a lot of interesting points of what is going on in afghanistan and whether or not the movement to pull out of afghanistan begin that 2011 time table for withdrawal. a lot of the questions by the military generals whether or not the time table is set in stone. you have civilian leadership and secretary gates saying this. >> we didn't say we would switch off the lights. we would begin a transition face in which the afghan government is taking on more responsibility. >> we are not anding for victory in december and afghanistan stabilized 13 monthses from now. we ask by december that we have enough evidence to demonstrate the proof of concept and that the approach is showing progress and we are headed in the right direction. >> general petraeus wants more troops. >> remember, wasn't it joe biden or said this is a date certain and tank it -- take it to the bank. it sounds like there is room for flexibility on the date now. >> also flexibility on the rules of engagement. if you ask the troopos the ground what is the biggest problem is the rules of engagement. it is make difficult for our troops to engage with the enemy because of the rules. they have to hold back and who they identify as the enemy. it is like fight with one hand tied with the hands behind their back. >> mcchrystal. his whole philosophy about afghanistan. he did long interviews about the way in which he went forward in afghanistan . to have a small footprint and should blend in, in the background. you don't want civilian deaths. it is to the point one hand tied behind the back. it is hard. you know that person is a taliban and now you have to plend in. it is admirable to control civilian casulties. mcchrystal's whole point. if we end up killing civilians that makes perfect sense. it is hard to know if petraeus will change it much. hoe was mcchrystal's mentor and they are like-minded in terms of this. we'll see what happens. they said they will revisiteving. this is what joe leiberman and an n coult are had to stay about the rules of engagement. >> i hope they reconsider some of the current rules of engagement. obviously he understands to win the counter insurgency you need the people on your side. when you are killing civilians it is harder to do that. on the other hand it is a war. sometimes you have to fire first. >> they have been chasing at restrictive rules on which insurgents they can choose. they have to have had identified before they treat it like an insurgent. that is mcchrystal strategy and wants to turn the military into you know, peace corp with guns . >> interesting discussion about the rules of engagement. we are talking to congressman peter king about his thoughts on this. a political panel to discuss the future policy in afghanistan. fox news alert. while you were sleeping the tropical depression became a tropical storm. it could disrupt oil containment in the gulf. we'll have the latest on the weather. >> first of many that woo will see in the gulf this summer, and so kind of practice in the gulf. this is a storm north of honduras and moving northwest. it is going to interact with the yucatan peninsula. it is not strong enough to cause major problems in the yucatan area. it is pulling off northwest and then in the gulf sometimes by monday and at that point, we'll have a better idea. all guidance will pull it off to the west and not toward the area where all of the oil efforts are going on there are some models disagree and pull it off east . that's why we will watch it carefully. we'll talk about it all morning. >> here are the rest of our headlines, despite the looming tropical storm bp's said the efforts to drill the interceptive oil well is on target. they are looking at the damage. vice-president biden will be there next week . a hip is off in northwest

>> to the american people. it is it a change in personnel but not a change in policy. general petraeus fully participated in our review last fall and he supported and helped to design the strategy that we have in place. >> a debate on this. yen strategist and kristin powers. good morning to you ladies. crirstin. not a change in policy. but does it need to be a change in policy and strategy? >> yeah, i think that was interesting when he said that. a lot of people are thinking is that a good thing. things are not going that well in afghanistan and there needs to be in my opinion, i was never supportive of him even continuing in afghanistan. but if we are going to continue in afghanistan something has to be done. changing the person and keep doing the same thing doesn't make sense. >> an drea. does the policy and strategy need to change. >> absolutely. alter the rules of engage: there is micromanagement on our troops and basically an analysis. they are ham strung and can't do our job. you don't want so much collateral damage. you are killing people and blowing up their homes and afghanistan is winning the hearts and minds of the people. you have to be thoughtful about that. but continuing down the path we are on. it is not sustainable. rules of engagement, one, and two, a change on the civilian label. there is issues with the diplomats that they have been openly critical of the mcchrystal strategy. they need to be examined. they are critical of petraeus -- >> there is big changes in the civilian leadership. let me ask you. does this mean a loosening of the july lenth withdrawal date. sounds like they are loosening that up and how would that infuriate the left. >> petraeus is open about not wanting that withdrawal date. if you read in between the lines tis clear that obama is backing away from that. i didn't mean a total withdrawal but would start leaving. he is clearly walking that. i can speak for myself and say that is going to bother me as much as it bothered me that he continued in afghanistan . the reason that i am opposed to being afghanistan, it is not where al qaeda s. they are in pakistan . so to continue in pakistan, the mission is no longer to fight al qaeda there which is the reason we are there . so now to then continue staying there even longer doesn't make sense. >> it will be interesting to see as that date approaches. thank you and we appreciate the debate. >> coming up. the push to make marijuana legal is gaining steam. one prosecutor wants it to go up in smoke. why she's trying to nip this in the bud. we are all over it . then a baby hold egg bong. that's right. now the baby's mom is being investigated. the alarming story coming up. we asked real people to film themselves taking the activia 14-day challenge. hi. i'm emily ilic. i'm going to start the activia 14-day challenge today. problems that i have are, you know, irregularity... i do have some doubts if it works. i think it's really good. um... i like the flavors. i think from being a skeptic in the beginning i do think that activia actually works. help regulate your digestive system. take the activia challenge. it works or it's free. ♪ activia >> welcome back to "fox and friends". first companies went broke and then city governments and now countries greece put their islands up for sale. >> i would love to. what should the focus of this meeting really be? matt mccall is the president . joins us here . it is a philosophical divide in the summit between president obama who believes that there is's way to spend out of recession and european leaders including chancellor merkel who said no, we are not doing that. >> it is a battle of two major economies coming to a front in toronto. i have to side with europe when it come to this. president obama thinks if we keep spending the economy will pick up the economy. it has picked up a bit. but where is the money coming from? it sounds fantastic to keep people from - getting employed. >> you side with europe. but germany is held up of a marker has what they can be. they have a massive back tax and germany itself may be on the verge of disaster as well high taxes and they didn't want to pend money to greece and so they are cutting back and not spending and it doesn't seem like it is the solution. >> what is the alternative? we are in a precarious situation. all countries it is tough to raise money because you don't want to give them money because you are concerned you are going broke. germ no said we can't spend. they get it. they realize they don't have the money. the problem with germany is they are in the eu. the greeks and spain and portugal is bringing them down. >> it is a political calculation on the part of the chancellor merkel. show was in favor and then her poll numbers dropped. >> he she is a politician. say what gets you re-elected. that is your job. but i think you realize once you come out of a recession then turn off the spick - is spictot. that could drive the world economy down in double deep recession. >> 10s. they would like them to have budgets. can the government create a budget at this summit and figure out how to pend money properly and is that possible in >> will they do it sloutly not. if we had a printing press would we have a budget? they put money to get out. realistically it is not happening, they will keep spending. >> thank you so much. a rop top storm formed near the caribbean and what it mean for the oil clean uppests in the gulf of mexico. >> can toys make your kids fat?

to those who are working. >> perhaps. >> they draw a distinction between those out of the status and overat ed your visa and those who snuck cross the border. there are two immigrants some are paying taxes and some you don't know who they are. the government may draw a distinction. >> the senators are concerned about this. mccain in the past was concerned about amnesty. and reason why bush administration officials are keen on it, president obama was pushing for amnesty. and there may be a road to amnesty somewhere. >> general petraeus set to take control in afghanistan. is it time for president obama to take control of the civilian side of the war. congressman peter king has a strong opinion about that next. >> it is a story we followed closely. students sent home for wearing american flag t-shers. their attorney is here next. my wife thinks we stay at quali hotels to sle in their big comfy bs.

>> not much, not much. first of all. it is sending a message to the kids that sixual activity is not out of the question activity at their age . that is a totally wrong message to some kids . so one thing it breaks down the child's natural enhibitions and makes them vulnerable to sexual predators. if it is normal behavior how can they say no to a predator? center miss exploiting children points out very clearly first thing sexual predator do is begin a sexual questions to make it seem okay. >> is the school attempting to step in where parents are not stepping in and having that important conversation with the children? and shouldn't someone talk to kids about protecting themselves? >> this all among the school officials, just drives me crazy. they, they may be some parents that are not responsible for the children, but the vast majority are. it is up to the partners to decide when a child is ready for that kind of a conversation . not some school official who doesn't even know the child . >> and so evelyn, you are director of the public policy of massachusetts family institute. this meeting will be happening on tuesday and we'll update our viewers with what their findings are. thank you so much for coming in to talk about it. >> you're welcome. >> coming up. arizona governor jan brewer isstering up more controverse yewhat she is saying about illegal immigrants may shock you. >> chris alep sang the national anthem and he is here live to talk to us . acious parently he will be subjected to our singing. i am sorry in advance, chris.

as you know, it's supposed to happen next summer so let's listen to what the president says about that now. >> we didn't say we'd be switching off the lights and closing the door behind us. we said as we begin a transition phase in which the afghan government is taking on more and more responsibility. >> we're not asking for victory by december or by july of 2011, we're not asking that afghanistan be stabilized 13 months from now. what we are asking is that by december we have enough evidence to demonstrate, if you will, the proof of concept. that the approach that we're taking is showing progress and that we're headed in the right direction. >> it certainly sounds a bit gray, doesn't it? one thing is it clear, they're going to have to listen to david petraeus on this. it's the third commander in afghanistan and whatever he wants is going to have to be taken into serious consideration because we can't depart from what we're doing over there yet again. >> that's a great point and i think it actually gets the president off the hook. there's so much respect for david petraeus and republicans and democrats this week, reading conservative columnists thought this was a home run for president obama. picking david petraeus because now he can come back after eight months to dave's point and say you know what, we're going to need more time. you listen to your generals and everyone respects david petraeus, they may be there 2012, 2013, doesn't matter, but if general petraeus says it. >> the timetable may or may not be changing. we've heard from servicemen and women that they feel ham strung. and even if they see a terrorist, an armed terrorist going into a house, if that terrorist puts down their weapon before going into the house, the soldier can't fire on that terrorist, things that just seem to really stretch the servicemen and women's capabilities. so, will that change under petraeus? >> stanley mcchrystal was number one, he was concerned about civilian casualties, that was his first priorities and the troops said that was like fighting with one hand tied behind their back. and under stanley mcchrystal. it appears under david petraeus they may be loosening this up and allowing them to interpret who is the taliban. >> stanley mcchrystal said publicly before the plans in afghanistan, look, you have to win the hearts and minds of the people in afghanistan and if you're killing civilians on a regular basis trying to partner with tribal leaders and tribal elders, it's not going to work so we need to put our guns down. >> joe lieberman commented on so did ann coulter, take a listen to the thoughts on policy. >> in 2010 will be had a critical year. military operations-- or is he dependents upon a drug dealer-- the wrong sound bite, obviously. we'll try to get that for you later and senator lieberman talking out about that and ann coulter, here we have it now, take a listen. >> i for one hopes he reconsiders some of the current rules of engagement and obviously he understands that to win a counter insurgency you've got to get people on your side, when you're killing civilians it makes it harder to do that and on the other hand, this is a war, and sometimes you've got to fire first. >> they have been chasing at the restrictive rules which insurgents they can shoot. the they need to have insurgents identified to them by an afghani before they can be treated like an insurgent. look for a gun, and that is mcchrystal's strategy, as the rolling stone guy says, wants to turn the military into, you know, the peace corps with guns. >> basically ann coulter making the point they're almost like n.a.t.o. forces like mogadishu in somalia. and watching individuals killing her individuals and they couldn't do anything. >> it's a tough one. when civilians are killed, it's horrible and then there's lots of repercussions and general mcchrystal thought it increased the insurgency, when insurgents were created when that happened. let's talk about rolling stone. >> what started this mess as you know is the rolling stone story with quotes from stanley mcchrystal and his entire staff about the president and joe biden and all of the quotes. now military and top brass are saying that rolling stone may have in fact broken the rules, that a lot of things, in fact all of the salacious in their opinion quotes about staff, about the president, were in off the record conversations and say it's inappropriate how paroling stone went about publishing off the record comments. >> yes ne did this, did it on purpose to help get rid of mcchrystal, that's what they think rolling stone did. you never pal around with super liberal media ever. the choice disturbs me with mcchrystal speaking the truth about obama and gang. >> editors said a lot of things were said off the record that we did not use. we abided by the ground rules in every instance, in every case, in this story there were multiple times there were express requests for off the record and background not for atri bugs and we abided in every instance, obviously, the journalist is sticking by his rules and ethics and everything even if it was a bar and unguarded moment if they didn't say off the record, it wasn't off the record. >> i think it hurts all media in the situation to get a sense what's going on in war time, you develop a relationship with the military for embedded reporters and have to develop a relationship there. what's on and off the record. i think it hurts all media when they're trying to cover a war. >> they certainly won't trust reporters for a while. >> certainly not the rolling stone. >> moving on, a fox news alert, former vice-president dick cheney is in the hospital admitted yesterday after feeling discomfort. 69-year-old has a long history of heart problems as now. >> malini wilkes is it standing by at the hospital with the latest on his condition. do we know anything? >> we do not. we know that dick cheney is here at gw hospital and this mork we're not able to get new information from the hospital or his office and we know that he came here yesterday for tests after experiencing discomfort that he is 69, and had a series of heart problems and wise for him to get checked out right away. this is what his office had to say last night. former vice-president cheney was not feeling well and seen this afternoon, meaning yesterday, by his doctors in their offices at george washington university on the advice of his physicians he was admitted to the hospital for further testing and is expected to remain in the hospital over the weekend. now, his last heart attack was in february although it was a mild one, but this, that was a fifth heart attack since age 37 and had quadruple bypass surgery and two angioplasties, a pacemaker, a stent. it's not clear if this is for his heart. because he's had knee problems and back surgery and doctors want to monitor him through the weekend. alisyn, dave, clayton, back to you. >> thank you, keep us posted throughout the show. >> now let's turn our attention to another controversial move going on right now. obviously the attention about arizona and immigration law set to take place the end of july, florida now looking to mimmic the arizona law, also, and other states considering the same. this comes as news this morning, president obama appointed a sink wary city supporter as the liaison between the federal government and the state immigration officials and those who run ice, immigration enforcement committee. in houston, he's been sympathetic, but widow has been speaking out who lost her husband as a result of an illegal immigrant killing her husband. she says he could have done more to do that-- to stop it and otherwise her husband might still be alive. >> yeah, we don't know how he would go about enforcing this arizona policy, but one can figure that he would be working against this arizona policy, you know the obama administration intends to file suit against arizona and they're expected to do so this week, what would he do? presumably he would not lean towards imposing and deporting these immigrants that fall under this arizona senate bill. >> he's pretty clear on that. he does not believe in enforcing local immigration laws, similar from what you heard from eric holder, the attorney general. they believe in a federal policy. ne would say the federal policy is not in force and we have to take matters into our own hands, but he opposes the arizona law because, again, it's against a sanctuary city, completely different philosophies. it would be interesting to have him as the ice's liaison. >> e-mail us at friends@foxnews.com. >> the mainstream media praising the president from removing general mcchrystal from afghanistan. >> this is nothing less than a stunning development, brian, and at a quick glance almost brilliant. >> more where that came from. . >> but was this the best move? >> it's brilliant. >> or was it brilliant? >> with bp stock at an all-time low could this be the right time to invest in bp or does it mauck you feel dirty? >> call your broker. i'm darryl willis. i oversee bp's claims process on the gulf coast. bp has got to make things right and that's why we're here. we're replacing the lost income for fishermen, small businessmen and others who aren't able to work until the spill is cleaned up. we've agreed to create a $20 billion claims fund, administered independently. our claims line is open 24 hours a day. i volunteered for this assignment because this is my home. i'll be here in the gulf as long as it takes to make this right. an everyday moment can turn romantic at a moment's notice. and when it does, men with erectile dysfunction can be more confident... in their ability to be ready with cialis. with two clinically proven dosing options, you can choose the moment that's rig for you... ... and yourartner. 36-hour cialis and cialis for daily use. cialis for daily use is a low-dose tablet... you take every day, so you can be ready anytime the moment's right. day or night. tell your doctorbout your medical condition... ... and all medications and ask if you're healthy enough for sexual activity. don't take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. don't drink alcohol in excess with cialis. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed back ache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical lp for an erection lasting more than 4 hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, stop taking cialis and call your doctor right away. 36-hour cialis or cialis for daily e. ask your doctor if cialis is right for you. for a 30-tablet free trial offer, go to cialis.com. >> the mainstream media had a lot of praise for president obama's decision to replace general mcchrystal with general petraeus and there's a common thread, take a listen. >> sounds like a brilliant decision. >> this is nothing less than a stunning development, brian, quite frankly at a quick glass almost brilliant. >> politically in this town is going to be seen as a brilliant choice by the president. >> a brilliant move-- >> he took swift and decisive action, i think that's how it's going to be read. >> it sounds like they're singing a bit of a different tune about petraeus than last year. joining us with her thoughts liz trotter, a fox news contributor. was it a brilliant decision by president obama. it took focus away from the response, the response to the gulf oil spill. was it brilliant? >> pathetic, the lack of vocabulary (laughter) >> was it brilliant? of course not. a, they're trying to preserve their access, he might be a presidential candidate and b, he's the star of the war, but one has to ask, what's going to happen july of 2011 rolls around and things aren't good-- supposing things aren't in good shape and petraeus wants more troops, is he going to say no. >> isn't that the brilliant stroke, lack of adjectives. >> you're not understanding what i'm saying. >> if he comes back after eight months and reviews the assessment, you know what, mr. president, we need more time and need more troops and stay here until 20-- >> obama can't say no. >> isn't that a brilliant move. >> why is that a brilliant move? >> because it gets the president off the hook. a majority of people in the country are fading on this war. they don't like it. he's a political animal, he's not going with a war that's going to kill him at the ballot box. >> isn't it interesting that the rolling stone article, now john mcchrystal's people are coming out and saying it was taken off the record, that the reporter was unethical in reporting some of the things however, it did ignite interest again in afghanistan, we haven't talked about afghanistan this much in i don't know how long. >> yes, i think that's a positive thing that comes out of this. we're finally getting a look at the war and finally, people are fessing up that it doesn't look good. it really doesn't look good. they're still not using the word win. they're actually cornered on this counter insurgency theory, which has been around since you know, the days of the british and malaysia. it's the same strategy except it has a new name. >> some are calling this vietnam and some are comparing it to that. is that a fair comparison. >> in the beginning of this thing, i fought anybody who would bring a pacification light to the end of the tunnel or any of the vocabulary at the end of the vietnam, seeing the widening bureaucracy and number of civilians there, contractors, 18 government agencies involved, enormous bases that i'm told even dwarf those that were in vietnam i'm beginning to think it's beginning to shape up that way. we are not making progress at all so on the rules of engagement, which you've been talking about this morning, that was also our problem at vietnam. a ten-year-old kid could kill you, but you weren't allowed to take a shot at him even if he's taking a shot at you. >> running across the rice paddy. >> these ghosts are coming back and what makes it a problematic war. >> it's troubling to hear the similarities. liz trotter, journalist and contributor at fox news swell. >> thank you. >> joran van der sloot apparently getting marriage proposals while in the clink. what makes dangerous men like him appealing to women. >> and are tax kohl's funding the taliban? some models look so mad. [ ellen ] i'm beautiful. maybe it's because they pay so much for department store makeup when there's an amazing anti-aging makeup from covergirl and olay. simply ageless. this advanced formula with olay regenerist serum won't glob up in lines and wrinkles like the leading department store makeup can. so get into simply ageless. you'll look amazing and happy too. simply ageless, from olay and easy breezy beautiful covergirl. i'm a covergirl. and try simply ageless blush corrector and concealer. hi, i need to start saving on car insurance. money a bit tight? yeah, i've had to cut back, sell some stuff. like his watch. oh. we can help you save. because we instantly compare your progressive direct rate with rates from other top companies. watch this. [ beeping ] nice savings. oh, this watch? yeah. not for sale. [ gasps ] that's cold. making sure you get . now, that's progressive. call or click today. >> welcome back here to "fox & friends." >> you won't believe this. joran van der sloot says he's getting marriage proposals behind bars. this is not the first time, by the way, we've herred of an accused or even a convicted murderer being courted by women on the outside. i mean, these are men who committed heinous crimes against women. joran van der sloot, ted bundy, drew peterson, scott peterson. >> what drives them to the men behind bars in prison. dr. ablow is going to analyze for us. get into the minds of these women. aren't there enough fish in the sea out there, they don't have to go after an accused killer. look, part of the problem, yes, there are enough fish out there in the sea out there, but some of the women really are designing to not have to expose themselves to the men who were available. it's very convenient, after all. they can profess their love and say i'm married, i'm in a relationship, where is your husband. i don't see him at all, only on visits in the visiting room so it provides insulation from intimacy for one thing, your husband is locked away for life. >> that's so interesting, dr. ablow because i thought it was just like the bad boy appeal times a million, you know, with these women, but you're saying because the husband's locked up, that's even safer for the women 'cause they don't ever have to worry about that husband cheating or that husband getting away somehow. >> well, they've got him number one and number two, there may be double dose of psychological motivation here, look, if you were a woman who was harmed as a youngster by a male figure in your life, what better, i'll put that in quotes because it's not good at all, what, quote, unquote, better way to show your competency in terms of dealing with men to say look, i've got a killer on the hook here. he's my husband, i've overcome all of this trauma that i may have suffered. well, guess what, all you can see him in is in shackles in the visit being room. >> i find it interesting, too, you say, true move is almost never behind these relationships, the idea na they've fallen in love with joran van der sloot is not necessarily the case at all. >> no, and look, we could say that about many relationships in life. where you say, look, a lot of unresolved dynamics feed what we call love, but these are extreme cases. yes, if you're going to marry the night stalker, remember, rich ramirez was married in prison, it's not a loving relationship, not rational, it may be you want to show that you can walk through the night. there are people who want to be famous, on tv for the crazy relationship and that's another group. >> very insight vm, dr. keith ablow. thank you for coming on and explaining it. i've never heard an explanation before or understood it. >> thanks. >> thanks for having me. >> new details about tropical storm alex and where and when it's expected to make landfall. plus, how it could hinder cleanup efforts in the oil spill. >> sarah palin taking shots at the obama administration. >> this is my reminder, yes, the poor man's version of the teleprompter. >> that's what she had to say about the controversy surrounding her speech. back in minutes. >> all right. welcome back here to "fox & friends." you're not going to believe this. >> you're in for quite a treat. >> this is where alisyn used to work in a friendly's restaurant and launched a new sandwich, may take the cake, one of the biggest, most perhaps calorie busting sandwiches in the world. those are two grilled cheese sandwiches and once with a burger inside of it. >> on the left of course is the famous k.f.c. doubledown, in comparison is rather healthy compared to the grilled cheeseburger melt. the double down has 540 calories and 32 grams of fat. i saw only because the grilled cheeseburger melt has 1500 calories. >> all right. >> 79 grams of fat and here is the worst part i think, 2000 milligrams of salt on one sandwich. >> i see the answer here, the friendly's one has four slices of bread, the kentucky fried chicken has none. take two from the friendly's and put it on the kentucky fried chicken. >> we'll have a fox news alert for you right now, because a tropical storm is actually gaining strength, this could have, as you can imagine, widespread implications for the oil conditions in the gulf and rick leventhal is in louisiana. we'll start with rick. >> it will strengthen through the day and time over the warm waters, upper level winds are favorable for strength and what it doesn't have as you take a look at the weather maps is enough time over water and it's going to continue it pull off to the west and southwest and move over the yucatan peninsula and making a first landfall right around the bell least, mexico border and rain across gaut malla and honduras. as it moves over land, most of the models pulls it over to the west and the second landfall will likely be the mexico coast line or the texas area and put up where the oil spill is. things are looking good for the oil spill, a small chance it would move in that direction. good news for this storm, but nice, many, many storms this season, we're expecting an active season and we're going to see some soon. hopefully this storm is not the one. >> let's get to it. rick leventhal in grand isle, louisiana, he spoke to locals down there, what are folks saying down there, rick, are they concerned? >> well, they are and normally a tropical storm would be no big deal for folks here in grand isle and along the gulf coast, where hurricanes are a way of life. in this case, yes, they're worried because if a tropical storm were to hits the spill area, it could force suspension of containment and cleanup efforts for up to two weeks and right now they're collecting about half, they think, the oil that's gushing out of the floor of the gulf of mexico. and that would have to stop. thad allen at the coast guard says they would have to clear everyone off the ships in the area, stop the containment for up to five days before the storm arrives and days to set up after the storm passes through and the folks along the beaches, these communities along the gulf coast that are already seeing their towns devastated by the oil spill now worry about more oil possibly coming ashore and here is what one local told us this morning. >> when the storm comes in, we're going to catch hell, it's going to be dispersant and oil all over the place. it's killing all the animals, you know, and i'm totally disgusted. >> yeah, they've got some really rough times here obviously the last couple of months and any, any talk of a storm coming ashore now makes things a lot worse. i can it will you that bp says that while initially they thought it would take five days to stop operations and prepare for a coming storm. now they think they can shorten it to two days, one of the things they're working on right now. >> it's good to hear, rick, they can't get a break. thank you for that report. >> thank you, rick. now to more positive news, the cup fever is taking hold in new york city and states across the country. today a big day for the u.s. soccer team, they play ghana in round two, fans around the world are gearing up for the game. bars open here at 7 a.m. >> we were trying to get there and trying to go. joining us via skype from brother jimmy's barbecue bar. nice to see you this morning and what, people are already, it looks like people already filtered in there early this morning. >> yes, they did. we opened up at nine o'clock. what's the scene there behind you? >> we have a team behind us, drinking and partying already. >> and has this been some type of stimulus package for bars and restaurants like yourself. an unexpected one, people didn't understand how enthusiastic soccer fans would be in the world cup. >> yes, we do have a special for the soccer games so we have been backed every day for the soccer game. >> really, every day. so even the first ones. i thought there was a low rumble of excitement at first, and people were like, soccer. have you started to see more people starting to come in now. >> yeah, for most of the u.s. games, yes. >> what was the special, when we come in there, what can we get today? >> $3 bloody marys. >> now you're talking. >> why did we bury the lead. >> you're sold out and a lot of bars like yourself have already sold out in reservations for this game, right, even though that's not your normal policy? >> no, it's not, but we have six bars and every bar we have is sold out with reservations, we're totally booked. >> how about that? do your heart proud, a great sport to this-- >> it's wonderful and usa and ghana an intense rivalry going back. >> well, nicole from brother jimmy's we appreciate you being with us, best of luck to you, and clayton is on the way. >> $3 with a-- >> i'm going there, i love brother jimmy's in the city. where are you? >> 33rd and lexington. >> save me a spot like norm at the end of the bar. >> i'll have a bloody mary waiting for you. >> thanks, have a good day. here are your headlines for this hour, the 15-year-old mexican boy who was shot and killed by u.s. border patrol agent was one of el paso's most wanted juvenile immigrant smugglers. the teen had been arrested at least six times since 2008 on suspicion of struggling illegal immigrants across the u.s. and mexico border, his arrests were made not far from where he was killed. he was never though charged with a crime. >> toyota is pulling 17,000 lexus luxury hybrids after tests show that fuel can spill during a crash. toyota has recalled millions of cars in the u.s. and other parts of the world over sudden acceleration problems and other defects. former alaskan governor, sarah palin is speaking at an event in texas where governor rick perry is expected to introduce her. last night she spoke at a black tie fundraiser at california state university, and addressed the investigation that the school's foundation arm violated public disclosure laws and she also took time to crack a few jokes. >> founders' friday, this is my reminder. yes, the poor man's version of a teleprompt are. that's one thing you forgot, you didn't give me a teleprompter. >> the rest of the speech focused on topics, including personal responsibility and former presidents she admires like ronald reagan. sarah palin is of course a fox news contributor. at city field last night, things got off to a great start thanks to american idol winners chris allen who sang the national anthem. ♪ o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave ♪ >> he sounds great. i don't know why he didn't want to hear himself. he joined us on the curvy couch and he dished on the future of american idol. >> i think that they have to make changes to kind of keep up with everything. and the people that work on the show is really great at what they're doing, obviously, still the biggest show in the world. >> give me an inside scoop who is going to replace simon. >> i have no idea. once they take you off the stage, it's like okay, you really don't know what's going on. >> and as for fan night, gretch gretchen's son to the mound and here is a group shot last night and there is emmerson, thanks to everybody who came down. >> let's head out to dave, last night the best, best father in the world, dave briggs. >> oh. >> you and your kid, you're like a model and the kids are running around and great job. >> they're the greatest things in the world, man, and nice folks are here across the country and i asked them a moment ago, who has ever fallen in the bathtub, i'm not going to tell you who raised their hand, but more than one said, i've fallen in the bathtub and mike cartozza is here to tell them what to do to prevent them. >> i fell in the tub, not a good look for me. >> it's a common problem. but you have some ways to keep us all safe in the bathtub. >> if you think about it in the bathroom because of the nature of what happens there, you have wet surface, you have electricity, access to-- and we're going to talk about things easy to make your bathroom safe. >> yeah, it's called a bath mat. i'm sorry, there is much more to it. >> first we're going to talk about-- i'm going to use this mic apparently. and we're going to talk about grab bars because these are cool when you think about grab bars and generally people think about the industrial ones that you see in hospitals and public restrooms and they're a lot more stylish, you can have safety and not sacrifice the style. hold on to that. where are the guidelines, it depends on the family members and where they want them. one on the front of the tub, vertically, you step in and out. >> i'm coming around, a nice chrome finish here. >> they come in a lot of finishes and put them on the back side, at an angle, if you have different aged folks in the house in and out of the tub and makes it easier, different shower chairs, if you have mobile issues it's not to sit and not stand all the time and holes for the water to drain. >> these are cool. >> let's show the folks other things to do, quick. >> we've got finishes, a lot of finishes, one thing you may not think about, toilet paper holds. taking that thing off and putting in new paper, these are-- >> hang on there. >> different things in the bottom of the tub and quickly talk about the installation, one thing you want to make sure to do, have both sides if possible attached to a stud, this is nice and sturdy, again, it's at an angle. it makes it nice and sturdy. if you can't do it, line up both sides at least have one side attached and you can see there are special anchors you can put on the back side if you can't hit a stud with one side of the grab bar. >> okay, mike cartozza you're out of time and i brought this so i can have a seat and aly and clayton, what do you have. >> dave's favorite seat, he is he' used to that. coming up on the show, hard earned tax dollars funding the taliban, is that true? according to an alarming new report,

is now a good time to invest in bp stock? we're joined by financial expert jordan goodman, fast profits in hard times. >> good to be with you. >> on april 20th, the day of the spill. 50.48. >> right. >> today it's at 26.83. and people look at what happened to exxon's stock after the valdez and it ultimately kicked back up and people got richer after the spill. same thing about bp. >> no, exxon valdez was terrible, a small amount of oil, one ship, one coast, they're pumping out. every two to three days, the amount of the exxon valdez is coming up and this is continuing. hopefully this well will be stopped in august, but this is a huge amount, much more, no, not a good time to invest and people are betting against them dramatically down 100 million dollars from the peak. >> it sounds like even after the oil is done spilling and cleaned up somehow miraculously that bp won't recover. >> correct, they're going to have-- water quality act a 15 billion dollar fine for that they put aside 20 billion, that's not close. jindal from louisiana said the damage to louisiana alone is about 100 billion. and who they're going to go after not the federal government they're going after bp. that's why the stock is down. >> unlimited liability and people are freaking out and cut out their dividend altogether, a major thing, a lot of people relying on the dividend income and people are avoiding the stock, i think it's going down much lower. >> we only have a few seconds left. you think bp will go bankrupt. >> the liabilities is unlimited and it's stupid to have them go bank result. who are you going to get to clean up if they don't do it. >> and i read in the notes, it isn't unamerican to invest in bp it's just plain stupid. >> that's correct. >> thanks for coming in and not mincing word. the hard earned american tax dollars somehow funding afghan war lords and taliban? congressman jeff flake is up next with this alarming report. >> all right. if you're not up and out of bed yet. the next story may knock you out of bed. the u.s. may be unintentionally funding the taliban. you heard me right. a new congressional report suggesting we're paying tens of millions of dollars to afghan warlords to secure convoys to carry supplies to our troops and that money could be headed to the taliban. and shedding light on the shocking report, nice to see you this morning, congressman. >> thanks for having me. >> how in the world is this happening? is this true? >> instead of having our own troops to guarded supply lines for the goods that go from military base to military base we engain in a host trucking contract. the engare afghan economy or gdp is 13 billion. this contract is worth 2.1 billion so it's a lot of money and with that contract to move the supplies required to provide their own security. now, of course, much of the country is controlled by the taliban or elements sympathetic to the taliban, what happens as much as 1500 dollars per truckload. >> wow. >> there are approximately 8 to 10,000 truck missions per month, is protection money basically. so those who control the roadways, whether they're taliban or the people sympathetic to the taliban, can let the trucks pass through. >> yeah, a great piece in the sunday new york times two weeks ago how you could count on these afghan warlords, they gave them $15,000 and that that supply of, that truck supply would make it where it needed to make it to, because they could depend on them, $15,000, you're saying a lot of money filtered in the country side to the very people we're fighting. >> right. that's the-- the problem here, it's certainly more efficient than having our own military guard the supply lines, but the soviets occupied afghanistan, for example, 75% of their force structure was used simply to guard the supply lines. so, they only had 25% to occupy the country. >> we're almost out of time, congressman, i've got to ask you, how do we stop this? >> we've put some recommendations in the report in terms of more oversight beau it's going to be difficult because as long as these elements control much of the country side, you're either going to have to pay protection money or use our own troops and either is an attractive option. >> the poppy fields on one side we can't erad cat funding the taliban and our own main filtering to the taliban through these truck contracts. congressman, thanks for shedding some positive lights this morning on this story, we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> thanks so much. coming up on the show, the sandwich smackdown heard around the world, k.f.c. versus friendly's, which is worth the calories in our taste test, 1500 calories right there or 500?
