extraordinary that a philosophy of that nature would be spoken by a president of the united states. >> steve: but he did. >> eric: what was nice mitt romney was on the defense. he was defending his tax record and time a bain capital and depending he wanted to be booed at the naacp and maybe it was this comment from president obama that awoke the sleeping giant and put him on offense . that was a mitt romney that we haven't seen before and needs to last next four months. >> gretchen: it is interesting, the way he described it was not only the top of the line ceo's that are depended but the average joe. i said joe. remember yesterday i was equating this comment to the joe the plumber moment in the 2008 campaign it will be interesting to see whether or not it keeps its legs as it moves forward. >> steve: the president of the united states was in san antonio where he declared that texas would be a swing state. that was a jaw dropping. he did his best to clarify what he had said a couple of days earlier. let's see if you think he accomplishes that task. >> the history of how he built the country was everyone having a chance to pursue their dreams and together building an opportunity that made us the envy of the world and so i don't believe that we should try once again something that didn't work. but we need to keep pursuing a strategy that said let's make the investments in the american people that will help us grow but also create ladders of opportunity for everybody. >> steve: we are all in this together was it is tune. and don't dwell on the gloomy numbers that are out there. better times and brighter days are around the corner. stick with me. >> gretchen: if i was a obama surrogate like corey booker and others i wouldn't want to go on to say we agree. we had the mayor of tampa who happened to get the question and he didn't agree with it. so if you have a mayor in the town in florida who doesn't agree with it. you have to wonder about the bigger name democrats and what they are thinking about that kind of comment. >> eric: it seems like every time president obama goes off prompter, it is doing, whether it is economy is doing fine. and they say no, we have a lot of work to do. this time he said business, government is to thank for the success. will they put him back on prompter. >> gretchen: it it was one of the main criticisms from the opponents saying, hey, he can't give a peach without looking at teleprompter. at the elementary school. he spoke with a teleprompter and you need to be able to speak without it >> eric: there is not a teleprompter in the debates. >> steve: this is what they are saying, they are trying to wean him off of the teleprompter. >> eric: it would be hard for him to stand there with a teleprompter and mitt romney without one. a member of the president's cabinet had an interesting observation about the loss of teleprompter age and what the president said. >> we have a president whose statement this weekend was a disgrace. for him to tell the people that take the chances to create jobs they didn't do it, i think it is insulting and i cannot imagine how that thought popped in his head. i do notice he went off teleprompter and that is probably part of the reason. but him to reveal his real feelings about the country that way was not smart in a political campaign. >> steve: we'll be talking live about how dick morris it could impact the swing states and mr. romney attacked the president in pennsylvania which currently is a swinger. >> gretchen: a scare on the runway. a pilot scaling a barbed wire fence and trying to steal a company plane. brian hedgeland was on the run from police in colorado where he was accused of killing his girlfriend. he clipped it in the terminal in the airport in utah later killed himself before the plane took off. >> he knew how to get in the vessel and cabin. >> gretchen: sky west said hedgeland was on administrative leave. missing cousins might have been abducted. family members now forethe worst. it is not a river and current. i don't think that there is in the lake. it is like a dead end as far as we know. i wouldn't be able to function when i think about what is going on and could have happened. >> gretchen: the eight year old and 10 year old were last seen leaving their grandmother's house on the bike. launching another bid to block police from checking the illegal at that timus. the supreme court ruled that the arizona police could have enforced the so called show me the papers. groups with the aclu said it would lead to racial profiling. lone star, texas. grainsville, texas is the most patriotic town in the country. it is standing out. gainsville holds the it every year. it is the best of the road contest and congratulations to the folk in grainsville. >> steve: the day before the national atheist conference. athiest are going to saint paul? they are going to have a event in the minor league festival for the st. paul saints. they are going to take big posters and rename the team from st. paul saints to the mr. paul ain'ts because it is sponsored by the athism group. >> gretchen: a lot of people will be upset. you have to keep in mind they do different kind of theme nights. they have had christian concerts and jewish heritage night and here is the minnesota atheist spokesperson defending the atheist night in the ball park. everybody had a belief in something and ain't is a word. we ain't got a belief in god. >> i know if you do have a belief in god you might not want to go to the game. >> eric: it is terrible business sense for baseball, and american pie and people in america love our religion. isn't it a syncroinized swim. august 10th. we can say a prayer for rain on that one night. steve stove that was very affective. what are they going to do for the 7th inning stretch singing "god bless america". what is going to happen! >> eric: maybe lady gaga. >> gretchen: one of the blogers said it was dog bless america. that is a cold shower for mr. hot tub and something is done about the gsa wasting tax dollars. >> eric: mr. stuart varney walking in the studio. stunning new evidence and he's been right all along. ♪ [ male announcer ] when a major hospital wanted to provide better employee benefits while balancing the company's bottom line, their very first word was...
