david: but we needed this win. meanwhile emergency crews are still searching for survivors after texas towns were slammed by a slew of deadly tornadoes on one side and a brings ard on the other while tens of thousands have lost power. we're live in texas for an update. [closing bell rings] we're tracking a major storm moving east. look at all of the indices. they're down but by no means as far as they could have been. there were triple-digit losses earlier in the day on the dow. that recovered quite a bit. kind of meandering day. melissa: look at crude oil. david: we've seen oil go down with oil past couple weeks. did not happen today. melissa: interesting, definitely. david: all right. moving on. melissa: go ahead and advance on prompter. there you go. while markets wait for it tomorrow, here is everything you need to know today. david: major milestone in the fight against isis. iraqi soldiers raising their

flag over the government compound in the key city of ramadi today, this after three weeks of fighting to retake the former isis strong hold. fox news's john huddy has very latest from jerusalem. john? reporter: iraqi military spokesman said ramadi has been quote, liberated but we're told there are pockets of isis fighters in the city. that said the iraqi troops accomplished the goal of retaking the city's government center. earlier today, iraqi troops celebrated outside of the central government building. iraq's flag was eventually raised over the complex. iraqi troops relaunched offensive to retake ramadi back in november. the push into central ramadi started tuesday. steve war ven, spokesman for the u.s.-led coalition called it, quote, a significant accomplishment and also a proud moment for iraq. if you take a look at a map, ramadi is the capital of the anbar province. it is about0 miles west of baghdad. the anbar province has been

largely controlled by isis. when isis took control of ramadi back in may, you may remember that u.s. defense secretary ash carter questioned iraqi will to fight but u.s. help and training and 630 u.s.-led coalition airstrikes since july iraq's military has been able to step up the fight against isis to retake ramadi, possibly setting the stage for an offensive to take mosul in northern iraq. before that iraqi forces have to clear out booby-trapped buildings and minefields left behind by isis militants that could take weeks if not longer, we're told. then a question of whether iraqi forces can maintain control of ramadi. in jerusalem, john huddy, fox business. david: john, thank you very much. melissa: here with his take on the iraqi victory, jocko willink, former navy seal and author of "the new york times" best-seller, "extreme

ownership." jocko, thanks for joining us. what do you make of this victory? how solid is it and how important is it? >> i think it is extremely important. i was happy to wake up to see the iraqi flag over the government senter in downtown ramadi. it is an area we fought to take in 2006. it fell into isis's hands. seeing a black flag over ramadi for several months was definitely horrible thing to see. to see the iraqi flag being raised again is outstanding. melissa: how much can americans claim they helped this victory? strikes me as one of those things the president would say our reinforcement is working? how much credit would you give to a statement like that? >> you have to give a lot of credit to the coalition forces, u.s. forces supporting and doing bombs on targets and training and equipping iraqi forces, getting ready for them to go in and do the fighting. a terrific job for everyone's

effort. melissa: how do you capitalize on this and keep it going? >> the main thing is continue to stablize a maude i d obviously there will be still pockets of fighting that have to take place. it is important to continue to stablize that. then slowlily look at the next city which has to be taken which is likely mosul. melissa: talk to me a little bit about that and give me a bit of the big picture. you see victory like this. at same time are isis lost 14% of their territory here but made advances elsewhere but where do you think they stand? >> one important factor coming into play now is time. i think iraqi, the country of iraq has time on their side. you can see this is almost like a modern-day siege warfare where they surrounded ramadi, took their time. went in very slowly. i think you will see the same type of modern day siege warfare up in mosul. i don't think it will be a rushed campaign. i think they will take their

time and i think they should. melissa: why does that give advantage to iraqi forces and not isis? if you talk about taking your time, it seems like isis has certainly the will to persevere over time? this is the battle for civilization for them. >> i think the iraqi forces can cut off supplies going into these cities like they did in ramadi. i think they can do it in mosul and eventually choke them out. melissa: jocko, thanks very much for your perspective. a lot of knowledge. >> thanks for having me on. david: bringing it back home, total devastation, a term being used in the south as deadly tornadoes and storms ripping across parts of the u.s. leaving texas communities in ruins. at least 43 people have been killed in the south as emergency crews still search for survivors. fox news's will carr is standing by in texas. a town that suffered some of the most severe damage. will? reporter: hey there, david. one family whose home was hit by this tornado has been nice enough to let us inside to show some of the damage.

i'm in upstairs bedroom. you can see the tornado hit part of their roof, ripping it off. see the damage on the bed. beams coming down resting on the bed. there is a television dangling from the wall here. as you make your way into the hallway, take a look. you can see there is some insulation down here. then we'll go in through this bathroom. ii want to show you, i mentioned about the roof. look up, you see the sky there. we got a tour from the homeowner. take a listen. >> a couple of seconds, your home is perfect. couple minutes later it is just, it just, everything was messed up. reporter: the fans are there. look up and it is completely gone. >> everything is completely gone. and, you know, good thing the kids were not here. reporter: throughout rowlette

100 homes have been deem ad total loss. this home was red-tagged. homeowners cleaning, trying to salvage anything they can. homeowner told me a little bit later the insurance company is coming by. really only thing else he can do, david, at this point is pray. david: folks out there listening can pray as well. will, thank you very much. appreciate it. melissa. melissa: for more where the dangerous storms are headed let's turn to fox news meteorologist janice dean in the weather center. janice, what can you tell us? >> melissa, we have more severe weather towards afternoon and into the evening. we have tornado watch, which mean conditions are favorable for tornadoes in parts of alabama and florida and georgia. the good news we don't have tornado warnings right now. if you live in these areas you want to pay attention to your local forecast. the cold side of this storm that brought blizzard conditions to the southwest and central plains, that is moving up towards the midwest and great lakes, towards the northeast. you see the purple there?

that's what i'm afraid of, ice on the roadways and bridges. that continues throughout the evening into the overnight into tomorrow. this is going to be very difficult it knot impossible to -- if not impossible to travel in. in some cases the biggest snow they have seen all year in parts of new england, looking at 12 to 18 inches of snow when all said and done. going through what the next couple of days we are certainly going to get some powder on the mountains if you like to ski. but, the dangerous part of this storm is still to come in the form of ice. so, a quarter of an inch, to half an inch of ice is possible in areas you see in pink over the next 12 to 18 hours. be very careful. you can not travel on ice. so definitely, make sure that you are heeding all warnings and call ahead, check airlines. winter weather advisories, winter storm warnings and all places we'll see snow, freezing rain advisories in the pinks and purples. so people are urged to be cautious. that will be really dangerous.

i can't stress that enough. flooding aspect which we haven't touched upon, some areas received a foot of rain. water has nowhere to go. ground is saturated. we could see additional three to six inches. flash flood watches posted for a at least a dozen states. multifacet storm. caused a lot of problems and historic in a lot of areas. melissa: wow, janice dean, thank you so much. david: you can drive on snow. you can't drive on ice. melissa: no. david: this wild weather is hitting travelers hard. nearly 1900 u.s. flights were canceled with over 3100 flights delayed. look at this. flightaware's misery map. showing storms moving across-country and number of flight cancellations causing in their wake. chicago's o'hare among airports with greatest number of delays and cancellations. it is all over. melissa: despite the fall of ramadi, a poll shows that half of all americans feel we're

losing war on terror. david: did you see war of words developing between donald trump and hillary clinton? it is heating up with trump threatening to go after what he calls bill clinton's penchant for sexism. hmmm. melissa: stop affirmed. this is new fragrance inspired by you guessed it, vladmir putin. don't you wear that cologne? david: no, i don't. but i don't have a black belt. melissa: okay.

david: turning up volume, donald trump heading off hillary clinton's charges of sexism against him accusing her former husband bill accusing him of quote a penchant for sexism. peter barnes in d.c. with latest

on the war of words. peter. >> that's right, david, hillary clinton warning not to use her husband to attack him especially with women's voters. trump says if hillary thinks she can unleash her husband with his terrible record of women's abuse, playing women's card on me, she's wrong. in a interview yesterday trump brought up bill clinton's sex scandals. latest salvo in a flight that erupted last week when trump use ad yiddish slang word calling clinton beaten badly by barack obama in 2008. asked about that by "the des moines register" last week, clinton, charged it was not the first time that trump's quote, demonstrate ad penchant for sexism. clinton plans to send her husband out on the campaign trail for him early next month in key voting or early voting states. here is what trump told "fox & friends" on sunday. >> i think he is fair game because his presidency was

really considered to be very troubled, to put it mildly because of all of the things that she is talking to me about. mentioned sexism. she is playing the women's card and it is like, give me a break. reporter: also on fox and friends one of trump's republican opponents, mike huckabee who was governor of arkansas before bill clinton, a governor of arkansas before bill clinton warned trump his strategy could backfire. huckabee praised clinton's political skills and he is popular with a lot of democrats and a popular with a lot of americans. david: huckabee has a lot of war stories for the clintons himself. we'll get into that all later. peter, thank you. reporter: you bet. melissa: a few stories on our radar, texas ringing in new year with guns. come january 1st, licensed gun owners can carry handguns in most places according to a law passed earlier this year. texas will be the most popular

state in the u.s. with apallowing open-carry. the largest container ship in north america arrived in los angeles t can transport a third most cargo than most ships. longer than the empire state building. can you believe that? it is as wide as an olympic size swimming pool. it is too big to pass through the panama canal. you might have noticed on last trip to the grocery store, there is cauliflower shortage. i did know! david: i did not notice. melissa: cold weather in california where the bulk of the crop is grown is to blame. leaving some customers paying up to $7 a head, not me, in some parts country. this it my excuse for not having cauliflower. david: $7 for cauliflower? we wish the farmers all the best

"star wars" raking in bucks not by the millions but by the billions with fans of like melissa. melissa: i saw it twice. it is awesome!, peyton manning is suing over allegations that he took performance-enhancing drugs. super bowl champion, marvin washington is here to weigh in. >> to insinuate otherwise is complete and total joke. it it is defamation and really ticks me off. ♪

melissa: the nfl regular season is coming to an end. can you believe it already? i can't believe it. not without dramatic finishes. perfection ended for the carolina panthers. the atlanta falcons handed them the first loss of the season with the 20-13 victory. with a controversial coin flip the new england patriots gave the ball to the new york jets in overtime, allowing the jets to score the game-winning touchdown

and take down the super bowl champions 26-20. the jets now control their own destiny and will make the playoffs with a win in buffalo. i love how we phrased that. david: i think patrick wrote that. sticking with sports for a moment. shocking allegations against an nfl legend. al jazeera report identifies denver broncos quarterback peyton manning as one of several high-profile athletes who they claim were supplied performance-enhancing drugs from an anti-aging clinic. manning angrily responding to the report. take a listen. >> i know what i've done. i know how hard i worked during my 18 years in the nfl. there are no shortcuts in the nfl. i've done it the long way, the hard way. to insinuate anything otherwise is complete and total joke. it is defamation and really ticks me off. david: why is al jazeera forging ahead with the story? is there something to it? joining us now is former nfl defensive end and super bowl champion marvin washington. marvin, the manning family, i

know archie manning, the father, it is not a doping kind of family, is it? it is not a family, they have really solid family values in the family. i don't see doping at all, do you? >> i don't see it either. if you talk about the manning family, first family of the nfl. if you're a aspiring nfl quarterback there is no better role model you can pick is peyton or ely. this story way it came out is strange. david: the problem is, athletes denied they used -- you and i were burned both by a couple of them. i thought lance armstrong was clean. he came out and had to admit it in the end. people have been burned by folks claiming their innocence before. >> right now, it is just allegations. and if these players in the stories i would sue al jazeera right now, unless they get more evidence. we've been down this road before, starting with me, ben

johnson, in 898 olympics -- 88 olympics. going to lance armstrong, a-rod, barry bonds, et cetera, et cetera. this has to play out. we'll see what the truth is. david: al jazeera for the moment is sticking with the story. their source is this guy named charlie sly. what do we know about charlie sly? >> i know nothing about him, the name. david: quite a name. >> like a used car salesman. david: they claim, al. melissa: cera claims they told -- al jazeera claims he told them he was pharmacist. now he is rescinding some of the charges he played out. let's play the sound bite. >> my name is charles sly. it is come to my attention the broadcaster al jazeera somehow obtained recordings or communications me making statements in a number of athletes and al jazeera plans to air a program about them. the statements on any recordings or communications that al jazeera plans to air are absolutely false and incorrect. david: so when a guy puts out

one story and then rescinds that story, you know, i say the story doesn't have any legs. >> i would say that too. they have no credibility to him. but i would say that he is a whistle-blower, that a wannabe whistle-blower. i'm sure he is trying to protect his profession. he is recanting. i don't think it has any legs after this. but as we both know, let's see the thing play out before we make any final judgments. david: i have to ask about "concussion." this new movie about concussions, will smith film. you have been right in the heart. the movie is cynical towards the game of football. the lead character said at one point, god did not intend people to play football. i love personally football and hope god didn't intend for us to play football. what will cam with all the charges about "concussion." >> i love football and love the nfl. i want to see it continue to prosser perand grow but the nfl

does have a concussion problem. i think two things, well, three things will come out of this. number one puts the conversation into the mainstream. number two the nfl has to get behind the science of cte and concussion-related injuries. they had a opportunity to do it last week with the nih. they certainly used their veto capabilities because they didn't like the doctor who was going to be in charge of it. number two, that is diagnostic side. on treatment side they need to get behind the treatment of cte. my company, we have a website called treat cte. like nfl to get behind us. we'll pick up the call if they call us. we need to call us because there is no treatment for us. everybody is trying to find out direct correlation between concussions and football but what about the treatment of guys that need it hire right now. david: the brain is very strange organ and hard to figure out. you're leading way. marvin washington, thanks for coming in.

>> happy holidays, happy holidays to you. melissa. melissa: if urining in the new year in europe, be prepared for ramped up security and new potential warnings and threats up ahead. david: how americans are weighing in on the fight on terror. here is the lead. they don't think we're winning. more on that coming next. ♪

this is the one place we're not afraid to fail. some of these experiments may not work. but a few might shape the future. like turning algae into biofuel... ...new technology for capturing co2 emissions... ...and cars twice as efficient as the average car today. ideas exxonmobil scientists are working on to make energy go further... ...no matter how many tries it takes. energy lives here.

melissa: a number of european cities are on high alert this new year's eve. statement from the police in vienna released on saturday

doesn't name any cities but authorities in europe are ramming up security at public venues following warning from unnamed intelligence service cautioning against potential terror attacks. this is sometime between christmas and new year's eve. very specific. david? david: not good. confidence in the fight against terror continues to plummet here at home. according to new cnn/crc poll 40 percent think terrorists are winning. more americans think terrorists have upper hand than any point since 9/11. we have walid phares, middle east expert and chris harmer, study of war senior naval analyst. walid, are americans right? >> they are right actually for very simple reasons. they don't see evidence otherwise. they don't see we're winning first of all overseas. isis is still there despite some battles here or there. more importantly here they see there are more strikes coming from different backgrounds, from different individuals. sometimes they're lone wolves. sometimes they are couples or

groups that have connections. all of this image is not really pushed back against by the administration. that is why the american public is very concerned. david: chris, we did have this win in ramadi. i say we. it was led by iraqi forces. some people say iran has too much influence in them. but they did kick isis out of ramadi, at least most of ramadi. is that a big game changer? >> no. it is completely irrelevant. it is not a bad thing that isis lost control of ramadi but realistically we're dealing with iraqi security forces totally dominated by iran can foreign policy construct construct. you have islamic revolutionary guard corpse. as long as baghdad directs the forces there is nothing we do that will make a difference. further away we get from the nuclear deal we cut with iran more difficult we'll mack traction or headway against isis, everything we do in that regard plays into the isis

narrative this is ploy by iran to conquer their swath middle east. that plays right into their hands. david: walid, when they battlefd losses in past, that's when they strike out at home or in europe or united states. is that a possibility that we should be wary of right now? >> it is more than a possibility. almost a projection. every time they lose ground on the ground, in syria or iraq or libya for that matter they strike back against france or italy or of course the united states when and if they can just to make sure their constituencies understand they're still up and running. they have business to do. david: chris, there is another thing. which is the taliban in afghanistan is winning again. they're back to levels of strength they had back in 2001. >> yeah. 14 years into this fight and we have not made any significant difference in the arc of conflict against taliban. this is one of my points i like to make. there are severe limitations on air power.

as retired aviator i love what we done the air. all wars are won or lost in the end with the man on the ground with guns. taliban has men on the ground with guns. they simply survived us and outlasted us. david: i didn't know you were airman in addition to marine infantrymen. that. people have been charged with terror-related crimes in the u.s. for a record amount. peter king wants surveillance of mosques to weed out homegrown terror. take a listen. >> reality, solid police work means you to where the threat is coming from. the threat is coming from the muslim community. i used this example many times when they were going after the mafia they went after the italian community. when they went after the westties they went after irish-american community. there is nothing unconstitutional about this. this is common sense, you walid, it makes sense to me. does it to you? walid? all right. i think we lost our feed there.

walid and chris, thank you very much. unfortunately we had to cut it off quickly. >> i did want to hear his answer to that. we'll get him back. donald trump taking aim at former president bill clinton but critics say "the donald" is focus on the wrong target. >> you will not beat hillary clinton by attacking bill clinton. of course she will play the women's card, that is what she does. the way to deal with the women card is to attack her track record. i don't have to carry it around with me anymore. chantix made it possible for me to quit smoking. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix definitely helped reduce my urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some had seizures while taking chantix. if you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse or of seizures. don't take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it.

if you have these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. most common side effect is nausea. man, i love being a non-smoker. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. ajeb bush: donald, you're noth enough going to be ableully... to insult your way to the presidency. that's not going to happen. (applause) announcer: one candidate tough enough to take on isis. jeb will destroy isis... and keep america safe. jeb bush: the united states should not delay in leading a global coalition to take out isis with overwhelming force. announcer: tested and proven leadership matters. jeb bush. right to rise usa is responsible for the content of this message.

david: back with walid and chris. gentlemen, you heard peter king talk about how we need to do some profiling. we profiled italian-american communities with the mafia is involved. irish-american community when the westies are involved. we have to do surveillance on mosques. that a good idea. >> i wouldn't call it that way. not surveillance on mosque or espionage on community, monitoring where jihadists are.

if there are jihadists in a mosque, club or secular place it doesn't matter. i work more on the narrative. we have to monitor where jihad its are. david: we used to do that in new york city until the new mayor de blasio came in to change the rules. >> i echo what walid said. you go where the evidence takes you. fbi, local law enforcement, follow where the evidence takes you. if the evidence leads you to a mosque you shouldn't get a get-out-of-jail-free card just because it is in a mosque. messaging counts. saying we'll simply do surveillance on mosques is one way to approach it. we'll do surveillance on jihadists if they use mosques to conduct and planetary rift at activities. you don't -- you follow the evidence. you doesn't say we specifically are going to mosques. david: specifically when we went into iraq in 2003 the terrorists were using mosques as place to

store weapons and place to stratdevise for warfare. mosques historically have been used by muslim terrorists. snoop absolutely. it is not just when which were in iraq. when the iranians are in iraq, when the russians are in syria, when assad goes after isis, anybody when they see there is a threat coming from any location, of course jihadists first 10 den is to put the ammo and weapons in the mosque thinking it is protected. it is not anymore if they use it as a military base. david: unbelievable times we live in. walid, chris, thanks for making a comeback. appreciate it. melissa. melissa: "the donald" strikes bacalling out former president bill clinton's quote, penchant for sexism. hmmm. >> he is fair game because his presidency was really considered to be very troubled to put it mildly because of all of the things that she's talking to me about. she is mentioning sexism. she has got to be careful. it has got to be fair. we all have to fight fairly and we have to fight for the good of

the country, for the good of the people, for the good of people and fight fairly. she is playing the women's card, give me a break. melissa: joining me, noelle nikpour, republican fund raiders and jowlly roginsky, former advisor to senator frank lautenberg. using women's card, give me a break. a lot of people say that. she is incredibly wealthy, now privileged white woman. when she comes out to dot poor me thing, people don't like it. >> but people do respond to it, i will say. it is interesting for donald trump to be criticizing bill clinton or hillary clinton i should say for bill clinton's infidelities mildly. she was the number one victim of infill delts. hard to criticize a wronged wife sticking by her husband. nobody knows what goes on for anybody's marriage. it would be a mistake to judge him on any woman who stays in a bad marriage. that is between her and her husband. interesting he wasn't that much

of a disaster. she was very happy to have hillary clinton and bill clinton at his own third wedding. for the fact he is criticizing bill clinton being disaster. he was good friends with him and food enough to invite to wedding a few years ago. melissa: noelle, we were talking about the subject a few years ago. a lot of people came on twitter, hillary clinton was one of the first ones to go out there and really rake women who went after bill clinton and many things they said were proven true. whether harrassment and affairs. she is one of the among those who really lambasted them. she is playing the other side. it feels hypocritical. >> well you know he, that is hillary's middle name is hypocrite. i think a lot of people are used to, you know, from different scandals she has been involved with her, you know, taking another side on it. but i think the bigger argument is that a lot of people are seeing bill clinton as kind of hillary's way of saying that she is going to restore america

again because if you can remember, a lot of people were like, oh, you know, things were great when bill clinton was president. i think she is trying to mimic, you know, maybe something to counter what donald trump is saying. restore america and make it great again. melissa: yeah. >> so donald trump has to attack bill clinton. he has got to do it. melissa: that is an interesting point. makes a lot of sense, say what you like, he is still very popular person here in the u.s. very popular former president. julie, let me ask you, howard kurtz is reporting a story that donald trump is plotting a tv ad blitz. could cost at least $2 million. he is already on television all the time though. is this about targeting a specific area like new hampshire? how impactful is it, who does it hurt? >> it is interesting if i were in his shoes he has to make sure his supporters in iowa to to the caucuses. one thing so day you support donald trump but another thing to spend all day caucusing which is incredibly difficult to do. if i were in his shoes put the

money in get-out-the-vote effort in iowa and new hampshire spend money on running negative ads of chris christie, marco rubio anybody in competition to win new hampshire. he needs to win new hampshire if ted cruz will win iowa in order to sustain winner narrative he needs. if i were in his shoes go negative on two people behind him and use that money to that end. melissa: okay. who is the most admired of them all? donald trump and pope francis, i'm choking on it, like doesn't make any sense to me. tying for second place as most admired man of year, according to a survey out of gallup. it is not "time" magazine or somebody trying to sell magazines. it's gallup. noelle, seeing those two together on the screen as equally admired as wonderful people, what do you think? what does it tell but the election? >> crazy. i do think that they are thinking both these men, given their differences think outside

of the box and if you look at the new pope, pope francis and look at donald trump, however they're very different, they don't parallel, there is no comparison to the two, but, on political realm donald trump is thinking and acting outside of the box you know. he is really energizing people. look what pope francis has done. he has been very controversial. a lot of base catholics are confused on some of the things he has done with, climate change and coming out. you have to really think about what all of these two men are doing and how they're thinking outside of the box. then you can see maybe where it happened. melissa: that was good justification. i like it. how you worked to that point. julie, let me ask you. what is most surprising to me about the trump phenomenon, number of young people who are democrats or independents say they like trump he is just telling the truth and everyone else is lying. that kind of speaks to what noelle said. think what you want of that statement, so many young people have said at that to me directly.

i'm just always support of surprised that's the take. >> this is actually an honest question. not trying to be sarcastic. where are the kardashians on list? to me donald trump fits same mold of reality show maven who is everywhere in the media publicly. as a result of course he is getting all attention. attention translates to support. support translates i think hopes into votes. certainly does in gallup. i think more of a the fact that he is really, really, just sucked the air out of all other attention and media from anybody else but himself. i think that's what you're seeing. melissa: i looking at details of women's list. hillary clinton is at top of it. elizabeth warren is. i'm not sure. they're right on top of it in the booth. no kardashians. >> no kardashians. i'm shocked. oprah. want to be president, maybe i don't know. probably better than trump. david: kardashians don't create businesses though. melissa: are you kidding.

wait, wait, are you kidding? kardashians have a biz zillion daughter business. david: they base it on culture of personality. melissa: it is about money. this show is about money. they have made a fortune. david: meanwhile, listen up to this one. this is website for wimps. breaking up with your significant other may be hard to do. sometimes people just don't have the guts to do it. fear no more, if you are a i am with. the website, breakup shop.com, will end it for you by themselves. for all of the details, deirdre bolton joining us now. this is website for cowards, isn't it? >> this is not what the spirit of charitableness or loving for the holidays. you basically have a naughty to nice, that is the range of $5 to $80. if you want to be nice while you are breaking up with somebody, either snapchat, email, text, you pick your forum. they will also send the person receiving this message chocolate
