When you list the most popular authors of suspense thriller novels around today, Brad Meltzer's name hovers near the top of the stack. For goosebump-raising beach reads, his novels are hard to beat.

But in his visit with Earl and David on this weekend's MONEY & MORE, his latest foray into literary excellence veers into a far different path... as he discusses his eight-years-in-the-making newest book HEROES FOR MY SON.

It's a collection of profiles and ancedotes of fifty-two people who have helped Brad re-define the title "hero," -- and it was started the day Brad's son was born. Why he wrote it --and the impact it has had on children around the English-speaking reading world-- comes under the magnifying glass this week during Brad's visit with the boys.

And that's just part of a rip-roarin' first hour of M&M, with oft-heated analysis and debate over the immigration law controversy in Arizona, the still-gushing oil spill in Louisana, and the growing national concern that so very, very much is totally out-of-control throughout the national landscape.

What's the answer to our dilemma? Tune in... and maybe you'll find out!

All this and more, on the new two-hour formated Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE.

...and if you're still wondering what caused the stock market to go into a thousand-point tailspin in less than a half-hour earlier this month --and you SHOULD be, since even the SEC is claiming not to "yet" know-- we've brought back financial whiz John C. Wohlstetter to explain the various possibilities. What he discloses is scary indeed... because John details how it could be merely the forerunner of a collapse far worse.

All of this and more, right here is HOUR 2 of the May 22 show: sixty more minutes of great guests, great information and GREAT entertainment-- only on MONEY & MORE! If we're not back next week, join us in a rush to our mountain-top bunkers!

What a week! Oil spills threaten the Gulf Coast, Greece erupts in violence due to its welfare-state debt crisis, and a botched terror bombing in Times Square puts a Pakistani-naturalized-American both in the law enforcement hot seat AND the U.S. media's sob-story headlines.

And we deal with all of those topics (though we're holding back our commentary on the 28-minute Wall Street "crash" until the real facts become known).

But we also don't miss the opportunity to look at the Times Square bomber with the experienced insights of Bob Hamer, the FBI's ace undercover agent, who visits with Earl and David to discuss the oddly askew "facts" being reported about the incident. There's something weird here, Bob agrees, and the story just doesn't add up.

And Bob should know-- over a 26-year career with the FBI, he infiltrated Russian and Asian mobs, street gang drug rings, and even posed as a fellow pedophile to infiltrate the notorious North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), with his efforts resulting in the arrest of eight of the group's leaders and members. Bob's new book is a thriller --ENEMIES AMONG US-- and he draws on his undercover experiences to craft a tale of Islamic sleeper cells in the United States.

And that's just the first hour of the new two-hour format for MONEY & MORE!

Great guests, great information, and GREAT entertainment-- only on the new two-hour Saturday's Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE!

With David (safely) back from the peaceful environs of war-torn Israel, you might expect a special edition of MONEY & MORE to focus on the profound issues of the day facing both the Middle East and the World At Large.

Nope.

Sure, Earl and David discuss the latter's trip-- but only briefly, before turning to more dramatic news and events of the week...

...that is, news and events such as a heated discussion with Leslie Sanchez, probably the GOP's top strategist on Hispanic issues, who again visits the show to dissect the politics, motivations and ramifications of Arizona's new immigration control law.

What the law actually says (as opposed to how it continues to be reported by the national media and various politicians) is the focus of Leslie's visit-- and we guarantee you'll be surprised to hear what she says.

And that's only a small part of our new two-hour formatted Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE-- including when David and Earl reveal how the chairman of General Motors lied in a national ad touting GM's "full repayment" of $6.7 billion in bailout funds, revisit the Obama Administration's plan to control the Internet through "net neutrality" in an interview with 'net expert Phil Kerpin, and much more.

And of course, the SEC's fascination with pornography and Congress' fascination with Goldman Sachs comes in for vicious analysis by the boys. You'll not want to miss it!

All this and more, on the new two-hour formated Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE.

...and here is HOUR 2 of the May 1 show: sixty more minutes of great guests, great information and GREAT entertainment-- only on MONEY & MORE!

With host David Latko out of the country on assignment to Israel, Earl takes over the hosting responsibilities with his usual charm and grace-- which means that this week's show is likely under investigation by an entire alphambet soup of regulatory agencies and law enforcement officials.

Undetered, joining Earl in the broadcast booth this week is Ned Worden-- Chicago-area writer & poet, actor, and social commentator par excellence. Ned kicks off his duties with an analysis of the once-again-emerging debate on marijuana-- and let the high times commence!

This solemn air continues through discussions of the ash-filled air created by the Iclandic volcano that is grounding much of the wod world's air traffic, the fallout from SOUTH PARK's creators' decision to taunt Islamic terrorists on their wildly popular cartoon show, and much, much more.

And that's just the first hour of the new two-hour format for MONEY & MORE!

Great information, great guests and GREAT entertainment-- only on the new two-hour Saturday's Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE!

Great information, great guests and GREAT entertainment-- only on the new two-hour Saturday's Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE!

It's our "Tax Week" extravaganza-- the opportunity to look at what we're all paying to the various state governments around the country, and to ponder the billions in tax money we've just sent to our good ol' federal Uncle Sam.

David and Earl make the most of a bad situation with a firey discussion of who is actually paying those taxes... and examine the rapidly growing number of American citizens who are paying NO federal taxes (and getting "refund" checks anyway).

And joining the boys in the show's examination of American taxation is John Stossel, host of the Fox By Business Network's show of the same name. who discusses his latest Fox Biz special "Out of Control: The U.S. Tax System." In the interview, John talks about the evolution of the tax system from a four-page tax return return to a complex monster. John and the boys discuss how politics, preferential tax credits and more has created our current 80,000 page Tax Code. All this and more, on the new two-hour formated Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE.

...and here is HOUR 2 of the April 17 show: sixty more minutes of great guests, great information and GREAT entertainment-- only on MONEY & MORE!

We always enjoy hearing from Lis Wiehl, --novelist, Fox News Legal Analyst and long-time friend-of-the-show at MONEY & MORE. She's back this week as her latest "Triple Threat" mystery, HAND OF FATE, hits bookstores. But we never miss the chance to tap her legal expertise on the headlines of the day, either... and that's just what we do when we hit her with the news of the Wisconsin states' attorney who has warned a Wisconsin county school system that their sex ed program might land their teachers in front of a judge and jury.

Her response might shock you-- and that's just one of the shockers Earl and David discuss with the lovely Lis in a rip-snortin' interview segment.

And did we mention that this is the first hour of the new two-hour format for MONEY & MORE? It's the kickoff to an expanded two-hour show now broadcast around the country... and the boys make the most of it with news and commentary you won't find anywhere else.

Great information, great guests and GREAT entertainment-- only on the new two-hour Saturday's Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE!

... and here is HOUR 2 of the April 10 show-- you don't want to miss this, either!

Happy Easter to you! May your day be filled with bunnies bearing colored eggs, hopping amid unicorn-festooned pastures! It's a beautiful day in the US of A!

And now that the good news is out of the way...

It's described as a "super-pathogen that is the biggest thing to happen to healthcare since AIDS." And it's caused by a germ that each of us comes into contact with every day, and which many of us already carry in our own bodies.

And last year alone, it killed more than 19,000 Americans, hospitalized a half-million more, and forced upwards of seven million people to seek medical care. It's bad --really bad-- and it's getting worse.

Author Maryn McKenna visits with Earl and David in a special interview segment on Saturday's Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE to talk about what she found while researching her informative --and frightening-- new book: SUPERBUG: The Fatal Menace Of MRSA.

For your own sake --and that of your family-- don't miss this revealing discussion.

And you probably won't want to miss the fireworks when Earl and David go mano-a-mano over whether the government should "protect" consumers from the wiles of car salesmen, sharpie credit card companies and other assorted denizens of the 21st American landscape. It's a red-hot debate between the boys, and the blood flows freely.

And it's all yours --for free!-- on Saturday's Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE.

When you think of Iowa, you don't often think of underaged teen strippers.

But for years, its it's been perfectly legal to have teen moppets (and younger) prancing around the stage at bars and other venues featuring mostly bare female flesh.

And it only changed this past week, largely due to the efforts of Lis Wiehl, author and Fox New legal contributor... a long-time friend of MONEY & MORE and the featured guest on Saturday's Weekend Edition of the show.

How Lis --working with a local Iowa politician-- turned a snippet on The O'Reilley Factor into a successful legal and legislative campaign to change an outrageous law... well, that's what she's discussing with David and Earl on this week's M&M.

And it's only ONE of the subjects that the boys turn into a hour of great guests, great information and GREAT entertainment-- only on Saturday's Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE!

He's a fixture on the playlist of the past two generations, the artist who wrote and performed hits such as "Crimson and Clover," and a man who has sold more than 100 million recordings during his career.

He's Tommy James, and he's also a man who spent most of his early career achieving success... while more or less working for the Gambino crime family.

Rock star-meets-Tony-Soprano, right? And Tommy visits with Earl and David to describe it with the force of a baseball bat to the keecap when he visits on Saturday's Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE to talk about his new book: TOMMY JAMES: Me, The Mob, And The Music,

Master of the mystery novel Lawrence Block is the featured guest Saturday on the Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE, as he talks about a career spent plotting murder, mayhem and assorted crime-and-punishment... all in the name of outstanding writing.

And along the way, he finds time to thank Earl for helping keep one of his books (this one, a non-fiction tome on the secrets Larry has used to craft some of the finest contemporary literature in print today) a best seller even after three decades!

But hosts David and Earl also go wild with the news from the Oscars-- including an insider's look at the savage politics that permeated the voting for the Big Gold Statue this year.

Don't miss it, on the Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE!

Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear... when stained blue dresses, Presidential perjury and rumors of a "vast right-wing conspiracy" commanded the rapt attention of the American Public. It was a time when unanswered questions posed by a relentless special prosecutor to a beseiged President forced the second impeachment hearings in American history-- and after it all, the story remained rife with those same unanswered questions.

Now the full story can be told-- and has been, in Kenneth Gormley's blockbuster new book, THE DEATH OF AMERICAN VIRTUE: CLINTON VS. STARR.

Professor Gormley visits with David and Earl to discuss his 800-page-plus book, and deals with the new information his extensive research uncovered. Included is the never-before-seen draft indictment-- but of Hillary rather than Bill Clinton. How (and why) the former First Lady and current SecState avoided arrest and trial is revealed by Gormley in detail.

But we don't miss out on the sexy stuff, either-- including, Gormley notes, the "irrefutable proof" that Bill Clinton had a sexual relationship with Susan MacDougal, who spent 18 months in jail rather than talk to Kenneth Starr's investigators. And the story-behind-the-story of Monica Lewinsky gets a darned good airing, too.

All this and much, much more-- only on this Saturday's Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE!

Debt is on the mind of just about everybody today-- and whether your concerns are about making your next mortgage payment or whether the Chinese are going to foreclose on the whole United States, this week's MONEY & MORE is a show you can't afford to miss.

Earl and David break out the paper hats (made, of course, in China) and serve up the birthday cake for the country's one-year anniversary of the $700-billion-plus stimulus plan... and talk about the results and ramifications of the sharpest spike in the national debt, ever. How will we pay it off? CAN we ever a pay it off? Do we even WANT to pay it off?

Then we welcome Fox Business Network anchor Cory Willard, who veers from an analysis of the national economic situation to voice a surprising manifesto: since BOTH the Democrats and the Republicans are hopelessly addicted to massive spending policies, the only alternative is to abandon both parties for a new alternative. His suggestion on what that new choice may be will either delight or infuriate you. But is it the only viable choice?

Fed up with your increasing tax load? David and Earl discuss the nascent tax revolt in which massive numbers of taxpayers ponder becoming tax-protestors. Can 20 million people be put in jail?

All this, plus informtion on the emerging student-loan crisis, how to strategize your investments in today's markets, and a hilarious analysis of the profanity-laden on-air tirade by former "Different Strokes" child actor Gary Coleman-- all on this Saturday's Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE!

Snow blankets D.C. and NYC! In Vancouver, NBC sweats as balmy temperatures risk turning the Winter Olympics into a multi-national mud-wrestling fest! And in Chicago, former Illinois Governor Rod Blago (okay, we admit that WE can't spell the guy's full name, either) goes back to court to face even more indictments!

So it's a slow news week, alright?

Nevertheless, David and Earl find a rich vein of gold in a potpouri of topics-- including a potential class-action lawsuit against Toyota, the growing tendency of homeowners to walk away from mortages that they can afford to pay, and a public-service tip on what to do if your auto surges out of control due to sticking accellerators or faulty on-board software.

And we don't forget Blago, either: in a professional-level blend of new clips and excerpts from our (somewhat) recent interview with the ousted governor, the boys illustrate what a talk-show bonanza the upcoming June trial may turn into... complete with all kinds of relevations about other politicians who may be on, referenced in, or otherwise implicated when the "Blago tapes" are played in court.

It's an irony-rich dose of humor, insight and horseplay on this Saturday's Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE! Be our Valentine, and don't miss it!

Despite the dire headlines, frightful economy, and cultural disaster of every reality show on TV today, John Stossel isn't buying the "conventional wisdom" that modern life is teetering on the brink of implosion. In fact, says the host of his own new hit show on Fox Business Network, the data proves just the opposite is true: in the year 2010, things have never been better for Americans.

And that's the position he brings to this week's STOSSEL (7 p.m. Central each Thursday, Fox Business Network), when he hosts a panel of experts and presents literally reams of statistics and brightly colored charts to prove it.

During a rare celebrity-on-the-street interview ("Actually, I'm in a Manhattan coffee shop having breakfast," John explains over the background clatter of crockery and fellow diners) the veteran TV newsman gives David and Earl an advance peek at the program's content during a visit on this Saturday's Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE-- and he doesn't back down in the face of Earl's skepticism or the near-pathological musings of "Darth David" regarding the prospects for a happy humanity in the era of MTV's "Jersey Shore."

Next up is Chicago-area entrepreneur Michael Rhodes to discuss a wide range of topics -- including his innovative new social networking site he founded, Myabui LLC, which creates a "cyber privacy wall" for users who don't want their online communications showing up for the world to see via Google searches. Mike --a prominent businessman who serves extensively on area boards and is active in numerous causes-- also weighs in on such topics as the economic outlook and the feasibility for U.S. employment growth as a result of the federal "tax credit for new hires" plan.

All this, plus David and Earl's take on the case of Illinois Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor... who is in hot water for an earlier arrest when he allegedly pulled a knife on his hooker girlfriend. (On MONEY & MORE, we don't make up this stuff-- because, when it comes to Illinois politics, fact is always goofier than fiction...)

Who says good things don't happen to good people? Sure-- it helps if thei they're also highly competent and professional at what they do... which probably better explains why long-time friend-of-the-show Stuart Varney now hosts his own instant-hit show on the Fox Business Network.

Stuart returns to MONEY & MORE on this weekend's show to talk about the launch of VARNEY & COMPANY, the entertaining and hard-hitting program he now anchors at the start of each weekday morning. Along the course of his conversation, he officially thanks Earl and David for "the best guest-spot introductions I've ever received" (which the boys translate as "thanks for helping convince Fox Business to finally recognize my genius!")

All this, plus the often-hilarious and always provacative insights David and Earl bring to the news --money-related and otherwise-- help make this Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE a don't-miss hour of information and entertainment!

In the wake of what every pundit --conservative OR progressive-- seems to be calling the "stunning" victory of the GOP's Scott Brown in the U.S. Senate special election for Ted Kennedy's former seat, MONEY & MORE goes out of our way to bring a little perspective to the whole thing.

Our considered analysis: the vote was indeed a "game-changer" for the Obama Administration and the Democrat-majority-led Congress... but it's what happens next that will decide what kind of games are being played here.

To assist us in our discussion of this point (and more), former U.S. Congressman and current political columnist John LeBoutillier joins David and Earl for a no-holds-barred review of the one-year-anniversary of the Barack inaguration.

With Mr. Obama's first State Of The Union address only a week away, we deal with what he can say to salvage something from the apparent wreckage of what had seemed an all-powerful 'transformational change'... and what he definitely should NOT say, too.

Don't miss it, on the Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE!

With a tragedy of epic proportions still unfolding in the earthquake-stricken country of Haiti, MONEY & MORE visits with two guests this weekend whose insights into the catastrophy are both informed and enlightening.

First up is Connell McShane, Fox Business News anchor and reporter, who fills in up-to-the-moment situation reports on the Haitian news-- as well as fields a round-robin interrogation by David and Earl on other headlines at home and around the world.

Then we turn to Tim Harlow, pastor of one of the fastest -growing ministries in the United States, and a missionary minister who has just returned from Latin America. Rev. Harlow presents a vastly differing point-of-view from that expressed immediately after the earthquake by another well-known man-of-the-cloth: Pat Robertson, whose comments on the "deal with Satan" he feels the Haitian people made more than 200 years ago may have been why the lethal earthquake occurred.

Rev. Harlow presents a far more rational --read: "sane"-- set of arguments regarding divine intent and intervention in present-day events.

All this, plus the hilarious cross-talking banter you've come to expect from Earl and David-- all featured on Saturday's Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE!

Tired out from a post-Christmas Day confab with the relatives? Irritated after fighting the traffic, cursing the weather, and being deafened by the season's non-stop carolling?

Then you'll not want to miss the special "It's Been A Long December" show on this weekend's MONEY & MORE-- a rip-snortin' celebration of the "bah, humbug!" that lurks in even the soul of an seasonally-exhausted Santa.

Among the topics up for Earl and David's debate: the explosion of executive bonus payouts from tax-bailout'd firms this year, a bemused puzzlement over a record boxoffice year for Hollywood (despite the bombs that were dropped during '09), and why owning a dog is worse for the environment than driving a Hummer.

And you won't want to miss the fireworks over what to expect as 2010 rings in-- but here's a hint: it ain't gonna be what you expect, people...

This is a Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE that even the American Medical Association will urge you not to miss!

Author and nationally syndicated radio talk-show host Michael Medved visits with David and Earl to discuss his new book, THE FIVE BIG LIES ABOUT AMERICAN BUSINESS-- and to explain exactly why there's such a crying need for yet another book defending capitalism today. Along the way, the boys find time to riff on the current Senatorial infighting on ObamaCare and its ramifications for the country.

And lest he be forgotten --yeah: fat chance, eh?-- Tiger Woods' problem again rears its ugly head in the conversation! This time, the swingin' golfer is the topic of the girls of THE VIEW-- with particular attention to commentary by Barbara Walters how to respect a wife's privacy while so engaged. The boys do a compare-and-contrast to Bab's recent autobiography, wherein she revealed details of her own multi-year affair with the married U.S. Senator Edward Brooke... and we ask the all-too-obvious throwing-stones-in-glass-houses question.

All that, plus sinctillating analysis and commentary on the day's headlines-- this weekend, only on MONEY & MORE!

As his long-awaited new show finally debuts on the Fox Business Network, long-time friend-of-the-show John Stossel visits with Earl and David to tell all about his decision to bolt the ABC-TV 20/20 newsmagazine that has been his television home for so many years-- and to verbally fence with the boys about such hot-button topics as the ClimateGate scandals, the healthcare debate, and the ramifications of a certain famous golfer who has a few too many clubs in his bag these days.

But John Stossel isn't about to let the visit pass without a few other more of his trademark observations and ascerbic insights-- including one about the famous ABC News anchor who (after John's libertarian tendencies became known) would turn away whenever he saw Mr. Stossel passing in the hall.

All this, plus the latest on the Copenhagen hookers and their "free coupon" offer to the climate conference attendees, the head of Google warning Americans that "if you can't do the time, don't do the crime," and much more! So tune in... because we're watching YOU, mister...

It's a winter Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE!

Poor Tiger Woods! Just when every American should be talking about the White House gate-crashers, the question of whether the ClimateGate scandal will torpedo both the Copenhagen Climate Conference treaty-signing and the upcoming Cap & Trade vote in the Senate, or the projected revenue totals from Black Friday and Cyber Monday...

...well, instead we're all making up lame jokes about the poor guy's marital problems. (Example: "Didja hear? Tiger had to change his name to 'Cheeta' Woods.")

Hey-- we TOLD you they were lame jokes...

And sadly, on this weekend's MONEY & MORE, we're no exception.

Our only saving grace: we talk about all that other stuff, too-- as well as air David's rant about the unfairness of government regulations (while calling for a selective few more of 'em-- after all, isn't consistency the hobgoblin of small minds?) PLUS: Syndicated columnist Amy Dickenson ("Dear Amy") returns to visit with the boys, and a "butt-ectomy" goes terribly wrong in Latin America.

It's all in a day's work on the Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE!

Long-time friend-of-the-show Steve Forbes returns to MONEY & MORE to discuss his new book, aptly entitled HOW CAPITALISM WILL SAVE US-- an ode to the magic of the free market that is today beseiged by a combination of economic recession and big-government initiatives in both Congress and the White House. But don't expect a dry recapitulation of laissez-faire philosophy here-- the boys get down-and-dirty with Steve on the why's-and-wherefore's of how Steve believes the nation's current path is a road to hell, and certainly not paved with good intentions.

In addition to this rip-snortin' exchange, this week's show goes Deep-Throat investigative on the still-growing (and still not being reported in most of the major media) scandal of Climate Gate-- the disclosure of thousands of purloined e-mails from Global Warming researchers who blithely talk about deleting a decade-plus worth of their admittedly suspect findings to prevent review of their means-and-methodology, blocking contradictory research papers by GW skeptics in "peer-reviewed" journals, and otherwise conspiring to fake global warming research.

Is global warming finally being exposed as a con game, intended only to transfer trillions of dollars to GW speculators (including Al Gore) and to "lesser-developed nations" at the expense of American taxpayers? Will this be the death-knell of Cap 'n Trade legislation, and turn next month's Copenhagen Conference into a farce? David and Earl discuss... only on MONEY & MORE!

For informed and insightful business journalism, it's hard to beat David Asman of the Fox Business Network-- from his daily three hours on the FBN airwaves, to his Saturday morning herding-cats anchor duties on such shows as Forbes On Fox, and more.

But did you know that, as a Wall Street Journal correspondent covering the turmoil of Latin America, parts of David Asman's life read like a John LeCarré spy novel? To hear more about it --including the thrilling tale of how he smuggled his former-Sandinsta bride-to-be out of Nicaragua, despite the efforts of the Sandinsta's secret police-- tune into this weekend's interview on the show. It's a lively, --and often hilarious-- interview segment on Saturday's Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE.

But it doesn't stop there, as David and Earl grill this seasoned journalist about a wide range of today's headlines... from the "shell game" of health care funding in the pending Senate Obamacare legislation, his personal experiences with the state-run British style of healthcare, and his observations on the near-term potential on Wall Street. And you'll also hear why there's a lot of Marines who really, really appreciated some...uh... "special" photos David sent to his Marine son over there in the combat zone.

The term "hero" is more than slightly overused these days-- but real heroes do walk among us, and many of them have proudly worn the uniforms of the nation's military. To help us remember them, former U.S. Senator and retired Admiral Jeremiah Denton visits with us on the Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE. Denton-- who as a downed naval aviator became a POW at the infamous Hanoi Hilton during the Vietnam War-- spent seven-and-a-half years as a prisoner, undergoing almost daily "interrogations"...and bravely blinked out the word "T-O-R-T-U-R-E" in Morse code during a television propaganda filming while in captivity. His recollections of this period when brutal treatment was the rule of his captors --and Denton's insights to the current state of American freedom-- are featured in this weekend's show.

How's this for a fantasy life: you ran a successful hedge fund in New York City. You're single, young, good-looking, and almost unbearably hip. Your current job puts you on national television five days each week... and it involves going to one of the most fashionable bars in the city, where you spend your working hours sitting between a cool older guy and one of the smartest, loveliest women around. You get to talk about money with some of the richest, most powerful people on the planet.

Welcome to the world of Cory Willard, co-host of the 'Happy Hour' financial show on the Fox Business Network, and a guy whose on-air reporting marks him for an enviable broadcast career.

We hate him. Truly, deeply, passionately. Or is it that we just wish we WERE him?

You be the judge... because Cory is our featured guest in a lively, oft-hilarious interview segment on Saturday's Weekend Edition of MONEY & MORE.

Be there, or be square. Dude.

It's a Halloween weekend on MONEY & MORE-- so Earl and David decided to provide their listeners with the scariest show on the air today!

The boys kick off this weekend's show with the tale of the Pepsi Co. secretary who "forgot" to pass along some documents to her boss... an act which ultimately cost the soft-drink giant more than $1.2 BILLION in a lawsuit.

They then move to a featured guest with a horrific tale to tell: Robert S. McElvaine, author of the terrifying history entitled THE GREAT DEPRESSION, to discuss the catastrophe of Black Tuesday (80 years ago, on Oct. 29, 1929) and how it eerily mirrors today's fiscal woes.

All this-- interspersed with blood-curdling, screamingly hilarious discussion of today's headlines-- including the economic window-soaping that is the emerging Democratic health-care legislation!

It's "Trick 'r Treat " -time on MONEY & MORE!

Fox News Channel is in the gunsights of the Obama Administration these days, with public pronouncements that FNC is "not a news organization" --and hence, there's no reason for Administration officials to apear on FNC broadcasts. The battle is still raging, and has expanded to include as targets talk-radio hosts, and even the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Amid all this, a growing question is being debated: is all of this an emerging campaign to impose government influence over the American media? Phil Kerpin of Americans For Prosperity returns to discuss this with David and Earl.

So what's the REAL story behind the reports --denied by the governments involved-- that a cabal of foreign governments that includes the Chinese, Russians, Arab states and even the French have met to "replace" the dollar as the world-standard currency? David and Earl discuss this and more with Fox Business Network anchor Cheryl Casone to find out just what this could do to devastate the American dollar.

The boys also disclose an ironic twist in the tragic beating-death of a Chicago student-- and ponder whether a $500,000 grant to the Chicago schools is a move to assuage the conscience of the US Education Secretary... whose own role when he was Chicago school superintendent may have contributed to the violence at the high school.

All this and more on this weekend's MONEY & MORE!

Fox Business Network celebrates its second birthday this week-- and implements a whole new strategy to reinvigorate its presence on cable systems around the country. How? Well --as featured guest FBN anchor Jenna Lee tells David and Earl-- by bringing nationally known talk-radio celebrity Don Imus back to television with a simulcast each morning on the network. Jenna talks about her own role on the new show, and puts up with jovial trash-talk from the boys as we all explore Imus' risk/benefit ratio for Fox... and for the anticipated new viewers the sometimes-controversial host will bring to it.

With the devastating hidden-camera videos turning the left-wing ACORN group into a synonym for "corrupt organization," David and Earl turn to the question of what happens next, as far as official investigations and legal action. And who better to answer that than long-time friend-of-the-show Lis Wiehl, best-selling crime novelist, former prosecutor and Fox News legal analyst?

Surprise: all is not cut-and-dried here-- and, Lis reveals, the incriminating videos themselves may be inadmissible as evidence in any courtroom.

All this and more on this weekend's MONEY & MORE!

Fresh from those hard-hitting interviews on the Jimmy Kimmel Show and The View (sample question: "Did your wife enjoy being on that celebrity-survivor show?") indicted former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich visits with David and Earl to discuss how it feels to have been wiretapped while allegedly trying to auction off the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President Barack Obama, life after impeachment and removal from office, his upcoming trial on sundry federal charges, and --oh, yeah-- his just-released book about it all entitled THE GOVERNOR.

And unlike Joy Behar, what we ruffle is not the ex-Governor's hair...

It's all (to borrow a quote from the wiretaps) "eff-ing golden" on this week's MONEY & MORE!

You asked for it, so here it is: this week's hilarious featured interview with Martin J. Smith, one of the authors of OOPS! 20 LIFE LESSONS FROM THE FIASCOES THAT SHAPED AMERICA, which you voted your favorite segment over six years of MONEY & MORE! Plus, David and Earl riff on up-to-the-minute news, including the latest White House PR stumble involving a "Dear Leader" -appearing speech aimed at... American school kids.

It's Labor Day weekend on MONEY & MORE... and the boys are working hard, so you won't have to!

Amid the summer's furor over the Obama health care proposals, there are a few other plans that are also pretty controversial-- and potentially catastrophic to the American economy. One of them is the so-called "Cap & Trade" bill, an environmentally focused legislation that could be the single largest hidden tax ever imposed on Americans. But is it based on factually accurate science? David and Earl interview filmmaker Phelim McAleer, whose new documentary movie NOT EVIL, JUST WRONG examines the science and the politics driving this issue, passed by the House before the recess and due for Senate voting within weeks.

David and Earl are on a "free speech" binge this week, examining some of the more troubling issues of cyber-stalking and privacy-rights questions that have erupted in the midst of the Obamacare town hall meetings. Among them: did the Administration make a major misstep in asking Americans to report "fishy" e-mails and conversations to the White House? Is a sudden-- and under-the-radar-- reversal of government policy on installing computer "cookies" on computers of citizens who visit government websites the harbringer of e-tracking those citizens' activities? Randy Skoglund of the Americans for Technology Leadership visits... and we also hear some illuminating audio clips from Sen. Richard Durbin, Fox News' Megyn Kelly and Judge Andrew Napolitano, and more! (Question: was the man convicted this week of groping Minnie Mouse at Disneyworld merely exercising a weird form of "free speech"? You decide!)
