and now the president is coming out with a plan, lo and behold, on labor day because needs something to talk about. but this is really a sham, this is not going anywhere in congress, you know, they don't even really know how they're going to pay for it. jamie: the bureau of labor statistics is a train trove of information right now because the jobless numbers are higher than we were promised, based on stimulus spending, and this caught my eye. based on the 9.6% unemployment numbers, among whites, 8.7% are unemployed, but look at african-americans and latinos. how critical is the vote of these minority americans who are out of work. let's first start with mid terms. >> jamie, absolutely critical. the level of enthusiasm of african-americans and hispanic to vote in this election compared to the one in 2008 is demonstrably lower, and if president obama and the democrats are unable to stimulate turnout
and the most despicable aspects of a pattern of behavior that they've been doing now for some time. they have a national security plan, i believe, working through their surrogates in afghanistan to expand their influence throughout the middle east, and this is just one more, the latest way, jamie, that the iranians have used to begin to influence the war against the united states. it's in their best interest for the united states to leave the region soon so the iranians can fill the vacuum. jamie: they're listening, that only makes us stronger. meantime, you and i have a chance to talk about each of the individual things that iran is doing in the background, every time we speak, but as a whole, what is their goal, what do they really think they can accomplish? do they not know we're serious and that's why we're there? >> well, they have really three goals. one, of course, is to destroy israel. we all know that. secondly is to expel the united states from the region so they can fill the power vacuum.
and three is to topple moderate arab regimes in the region so they can destabilize the region and expand their control from literally lebanon all the way across to pakistan. that's their national goal, their national strategic plan. as you know, many arabs in the region, in particular, don't trust the iranians because as you know, they're shia rather than sunni muslims, they come from a different culture, they have been meddling in mideastern affairs for hundreds of years, so they have a tough way to go in the future, but their game plan i think is evident. jamie, and that's before they get nuclear weapons. jamie: i'm glad you raised that because just crossing the wires right now, according to a nuclear watchdog report out of the u.n., this just crossing, that iran's total production of low enriched uranium has risen by around 15 percent. so they're busy doing that as well, on top of this. >> right. jamie: we need to pay very
too for terror attacks against americans on the battlefield, 6000 if they take out an armoured vehicle. joining me, retired general bob scales, fox news analyst, general scales, good to see you. >> hi jamie. jamie: i don't like this story at all because we know iran is meddling in the background, they have every incentive in the world to keep the region unstable and now as i understand this report they're setting up legitimate business necessary kabul with offices and if a taliban fighter comes in, they get pretty big bucks. what can we do about it? >> well, this is a pattern of behavior, as you know, jamie, that the iranians have been doing now for decades. remember, they were the ones who supported hezbollah in the lebanon war in 2006 with rockets and money and training, they were the ones who supplied high-tech i.e.d.s that killed so many soldiers in iraq, they were the ones that exchanged arms and ammunition for heroin product necessary afghanistan. so this is just the latest
them home, hoping the extra year will give them a stronger start in school. is that a smart move? dr. keith ab below, from the fox news medical a team, dr. ablow, thank you for joining us today. >> thank you jamie. jamie: is there science behind the fact that if you let your child start later they will do better? >> well, look, there's really conflicting data. there was a study back in 2006 that suggested that the youngest kid in any grade actually who started young, that they actually lagged behind their classmates through the eighth grade, and that they really did suffer for that early start. in another study in 2010 showed no such correlation so there isn't hard data you can rely on to make your decision. jamie: also child care costs are an issue because if you keep your child home for an extra year it's going to cost money, so you have to weigh the investment. do boys do better than girls or vice versa if they are kept back a year? >> well, you know, there's
raising taxes on job creators. jamie: i hear that a lot from people on your side of the aisle and also michael steele said there is a plan, congressman boehner said there is a gop plan, it will be disclosed this month. why wait, and what do you know about it? >> well, i think it's a smart idea to wait until after august to talk about what you're for, when voters are really paying attention. i think you'll see something in the next couple of weeks from the house republican leader. i don't know much about the -- about senate but i have a feeling it's going to focus directly on growing jobs in the economy. jamie: what do you think about the plan so far, what the president has in mind this week? it's still billions of dollars that will be spent. >> i think he's acknowledged we got to do something about jobs, jamie. i think the small business tax credit that he's proposed is paid for, he's talking about extending the research and development tax credit. obviously, the new spending on infrastructure. but he's fundamentally put forward a jobs program, and
what you've heard from ron is a lot of negativity and a lot of no, but no programs, and he suggests that the republicans can and should wait. i say we don't have the time to wait. we need bipartisan cooperation now to get the jobless rate down. jamie: or ron, is it a better strategy to wait and let the democrats put fourth plan that may not show measurable results before the mid termseso mid terms? >> i was going to say, in the beginning of the obama administration, this is exactly the approach he should have taken. he should have done a blend of tax cuts and spending instead of going the whole keynesian approach and hurtinging the problem. we don't know the details of this proposal, we're hearing broad themes but legislation hasn't been introduced in congress. it doesn't look credible to me on the face of it that it's actually going to make it through, and they've also acknowledged voters aren't going to feel it by the election. i think we need to wait until we have a republican congressional majority to put forward a critical plan
close attention to this. but no doubt about it, in your mind, is our military at further risk by this new report about paying taliban fighters to take out americans? >> kwroerbgs i don't think there's any question, jamie. remember now, the main incentive for the rank and file taliban is to earn money through terrorism, because this is a poor country, the taliban are illiterate, most of them farmers, and 100 bucks for anything is a lot of money. one thousand bucks is a fortune. six thousand bucks makes them rich. so anything that the iranians can do to sort of stir the pot by paying off the taliban to kill americans furthers their national security agenda in the region, and frankly, it's a despicable act, but it's certainly part of the consistent pattern of behavior. jamie: it certainly has been consistent. general scales, thank you very much. and have a good day today. >> thank you jamie. jamie: gregg? >> gregg: meet the world's shortest man. the guinness book of world records just certified that
