about now. >> you are watching "fox and friends." and i apologize for it. >> thank you, mr. o'reilly. let's talk about what's going on. i guess we're going to do headlines first. i was so taken by the way you teased that fannie and freddie bonus payout. >> we finally got the explanation and we've been reporting on the story all week. we got the explanation for why. you have to sit down to understand that. that's why we are sitting. we had thought about standing through the show. once we saw this, we said let's get the couch. >> you'll be standing a little later on when you have your running shoes on. we'll both be shirtless. >> fantastic! >> eric, would you like to join in that? >> if i can vote, ietd say yes. eric is in for steve today. good to have you. headlines to get us back on track here. we could learn more details today about the sexual harassment claims against herman

cain. the national restaurant association saying it plans to respond to a document written by one of cain's accusers. most recent reports say one woman was given $45,000 as part of her settlement. from occupying wall street to occupying a jail cell. you're looking at yet another group of protesters being arrested in downtown manhattan. this time, police busted 17 occupyers trespassing outside the headquarters for goldman-sachs. nearly 80 protesters had their day in court yesterday. prosecutors offered to drop charges against them. nine accepted. the rest are pushing for trials all at the taxpayers' expense. well, the government, about 2 1/2 hours away from releasing brand new jobless numbers for the month of october and don't expect those unemployment lines to get any shorter. economists predicting only 95,000 jobs were added last month. that would leave the unemployment rate right where it

is right now at 9.1%. more than 200,000 jobs would need to be created to bring that rate down even a little bit. update on the story we told you about yesterday. white house spokesman jay carney caught in a bible blunder. carney attributed the phrase the lord help those who help themselves from the bible. that's not from the good book. the blunder quickly caught and corrected by the white house a few hours later. it comes from ancient greek writings. >> i thought it was ben fra franklin. >> i don't know. a lot of people take credit for a lot of things. >> if it was bible, accepted. we told you what's going on with fannie and freddie and told you how it's buried in debt and how much tax money they've taken from us taxpayers to the tune of $56 billion. in fredry alone, correct? >> yeah. >> then we find out the executives that are running freddie and fannie can't be upset by the red ink because they have a lot of green in their pockets. >> yeah. the numbers are $171 billion so

far between freddie and fannie. the bonuses that we reported, i guess, on wednesday was $13 million to the top executives of both groups and now, freddie mac wants another $6 billion. but we did say this on wednesday, it's and counting. here's why, because the mortgage situation isn't getting any better. home values prices aren't going back up. people, i think, to the tune of 1/3, almost a third, a quarter to a third of all homes in america are underwater which means they're at risk for default. when they default, they end up in the hands of one of these two groups. >> one of my mom's friends has a great phrase. you can't make sense out of nonsense. you can't make sense out of nonsense. ok, they want $6 billion more of your taxpayer dollars even though they just shelled out $12.5 million in bonuses two days ago. something is wrong with this picture. and this is why americans are so frustrated with the way in which government runs and apparently, the way in which we waste money. let's listen to the acting director now of fannie and

freddie who defends those bonuses. >> the compensation programs that are being reported about are the same compensation programs that have been in place since 2009. >> so that's a good excuse. >> that's the defense. >> can i point something out? it's not going to stop at this $6 billion or when fannie needs $10 billion more. it's going to keep on going until the housing market gets better and it's not getting better any time soon. the only way it's going to get better is they stop playing games with the market mitigation programs. >> director of the housing agencies, why did president obama approve that? it's not happening. they created the agency to oversee that. this guy says that, that's not only that the reason because these are in place. he says in order for us to attract new executives to lead the two firms that are willing to work to attract top executives, they need to put these compensation packages in place or you won't get top talent. is that true? >> there's something to be said

for that. >> there's nothing to be said for that. there's nothing to be said for what -- i mean, there are people who would go in there, i'm sure there's one of these millionaires and billionaires who would like to go in there and help try to fix the thing. there's not a lot they can do. only thing they can do is wait out the housing mess. it's probably going to be another three to five years before things turn around and maybe longer if they keep playing games with mortgage mitigations and what not. but you don't really need the best goldman-sachs ceo to come over and make $4 to $5 million over at fannie and freddie. >> the treasury secretary was a goldman-sachs guy and gave up the $250,000 salary to be treasury secretary. why can't that same mindset take over fannie and freddie? >> that's what i agree with. the third part of the equation, while they asked for $6 billion of your taxpayer dollars, they reported a $3.4 billion loss for the third quarter. you can't make sense out of nonsense. john mccain is calling for the

resignation of the man you just heard from. >> fannie and freddie mac are synonymous with waste, outright corruption and fraud and their federal regulator has the audacity to approve $12 million in executive bonuses to people who make $900,000 per year! this body should be ashamed if we let this happen. it seems to me the least we can do is cancel these bonuses, make sure it doesn't happen. and maybe ask for some qualified, experienced talented americans to come in and take over this agency and the first guy that i think ought to go is the guy that approved of these mortgages who i understand -- i mean, that approved of these payouts, mr. edward j. demarco. >> you know -- >> that's the guy we just heard. >> i agree with almost everything that mccain p said there with the exception of the beginning part of it. he literally said fraud and

corruption. i don't think there's anymore fraud and corruption going on in there. that's not what this is. this is a really sloppy housing market that's not getting any better but the other part, the second half of the statement. they should never get bonuses and that's the part i agree with. don't pay out bonuses when really all they're doing is overseeing an entity, a holding bank for crappy mortgages. >> what i'd like to know is what are the modest goals they had to achieve to earn these bonuses? because apparently, they only had to meet modest goals and after the taxpayers gave so much money to these two firms, why did they put in the fine print that you only had to meet modest goals? i mean, for gosh sakes, you've already taken the whole housing market under. why would you only have to reach modest goals in order to receive these kinds of millions of dollars. >> not fannie and freddie's fault for bringing down the housing market. that's congress' fault. congress forced fannie and freddie to undercut private lenders and say here, push these loans out the door. he didn't even need a job. you didn't have to put any money

down to get a loan, right? all these homes were put -- ninja loans, they were called, no job, no down payment. fannie was really the holding area and the holding pen for bad policy. >> it's somebody's responsibility. it's not my fund, it was somebody else's fund and i got a lot of money to run it whether i did good or not. >> it's bad, bad policy. bad everything. but don't pay out millions of $13 million in bonuses. let's talk solar panels. let's talk solyndra. >> this has to do with more executive bonuses paid out. if you wanted to relax on a friday, you might be hot under the collar for this one. 12 executives got quarterly bonuses april 15th and july 8th. keep in mind, this company closed in late august. filed for bankruptcy on september 6th. 1100 employees were laid off without any severance. and now we're finding out executives received $37,000 to

$60,000 two times april and july. >> so they got -- they also had the guaranteed loans which that money is gone, we understand, $537 million. so that's gone. the place is gone. they were auctioning off the solar panels and the office chairs earlier this week. >> wednesday. >> but these executives walk away with this type of payment which is to me is unfathomable. >> couple of things that some of the top executives with the bonuses were making more than the president of the united states. that's with our taxpayer money. loaned it. we gave them $535 million. that's gone. the auction didn't raise even enough to pay off that initial $70 million investor deal that they put in front of the taxpayer, that's outrageous. so we're not -- >> one last thing, they almost got another $100 million of our money. almost bailed them out and that would have lasted -- >> you know why we knew about this? we knew about this because congress has subpoenaed the records to find out what went wrong in the huge document dump of thousands of pages, they saw this note in these documents and

they said, this cannot be true. and that's -- you imagine what else was in there. because this just got dumped on. >> the point is that the f.b.i. went in and rated the solyndra documents and took them out. this is part of a white house turning over some documents that allegedly there are literally thousands of pages of documents that they're not turning over yet. and very importantly, there's a group that wants to know what's on the presidential blackberry right now. what in relation to solyndra is on there. >> a few e-mails from a nigerian prince. >> that we all get. has won the lottery. >> which i always answer, by the way. >> i was going to say, you're the only person on the planet -- >> sounds good. get in touch with me. here's my number. >> all right. so far, he hasn't received any cash. coming up on our jam-packed show today, a surprise inside bill clinton's brand new book. he's taking digs at president obama. why he says the president made

international monetary fund in order to shore up confidence in european banks. >> stuart varney is here. stuart, how in the world are our taxpayer dollars going to end up in greek bank accounts? >> well, we're part of the imf. the international monetary fund. we provide 17% of its budget. so when we hear this morning that the imf is being looked ats the new vehicle to pump a ton of money into bankrupt europe, that's our money into the imf into europe. that's the plan. they haven't formalized it yet, not agreed to it. that's the latest of the bailout moves in europe. that's why our money is involved over there. >> for so long, we've been discussing the crisis in greece and thinking the u.s., maybe it will affect the stock market and our 401k's, nobody believed that the taxpayer in the united states will end up bailing out the country. is this an example of what's going to happen? >> part of the bailout and part of the deal that attempts to get europe growing again and out of its mess, part of that money

will come indirectly from us. but gretchen, don't you find it astonishing day after day after day, you hear news from a fairly obscure foreign country with a politician you've never heard of before. he makes a move and your 401k takes a hit. there's only 11 million greeks. that's it. they owe $300 billion. and they are now dictating how much money we have when we retire. that's astonishing. >> stuart, i can't think the chinese are too thrilled with the -- >> the way this is playing out because ultimately, it's really their money through us to the imf on to greece, right? >> it's their money directly to the imf, directly to europe. and china is not -- well, the chinese leadership wants to do this because they've got an interesting in helping europe but the chinese people, according to the media and numerous blogs, i'm hearing this morning, they are angry at this. why should we, china, with 400

million poor people, dirt poor people, why are we bailing out, helping these rich europeans who won't pay their taxes and don't go to work very much? >> the same argument could go for a lot of people in the united states. >> it is. that's why there's so much anger here. >> before you go, when we were with you yesterday, the prime minister of greece was going to put this vote to the people. >> yes. >> what changed his mind to take it off the table? >> he did a u-turn. he turned around and said we don't need the referendum and i cannot answer your question. i do not know why he did the u-turn except eric, i think you were right here, there was enormous pressure from germany and france, you do this referendum and if you lose, you're out of the euro zone and out of the european union. enormous pressure on the man. he does the u-turn but the chaos is not over. there's a vote of confidence today in the prime minister. if he loses, there's going to be a new government. and that new government will probably try to renegotiate the debt deal and you're in the same mess all over again. chaos continues. >> there won't be any chaos at

transportation infrastructure. >> where would they have gotten that $60 billion? let's ask george w. bush's main guy. he's karl rove and a fox news contributor and a best selling author. karl, why didn't this bank go through? >> main guy. well, it didn't go through because it was a small part of a bigger bill. the bigger expenditure in this bill. i'm sure you spent the morning with the congressional budget office report. >> i sleep with it under my pillow. >> exactly. it's just stimulating reading. of the $56.1 billion, it should be $6.9 billion went to this infrastructure bank. the rest of the money was for highway construction projects. but the problem is that the spend out on this, only 1/10 of this money will be spent next year. this is supposed to stimulate the economy and we're only supposed to spend 10% next year. 15% will be spent 2015 or later. >> that makes no sense. the other thing that's important is millionaires tax. they were going to get that money to pay the money in there

by taxing -- >> the republicans offered an alternative. they said let's do the $40 billion construction bill. not making any claims about immediate job creation but let's pay for it by taking $40 billion of unspent money from other things and applying it to this so we don't need to raise taxes in order to do this. democrats voted it down. look, this is all about politics. interested in the hill yesterday, democratic operatives are quick to note they never acted the stimulus bill, this is all about politics. now, let's step back even further. if you're worried about highway construction, and want construction jobs, the president should have been working in 2009. the highway bill lasted in 2009. we have a highway bill to give state, departments of transportation and contractors some consistency saying, you know, how much i'm going to need to go out and buy in terms of equipment and higher for the next six years. this bill lapsed in 2009, the

president has not renewed it nor has he renewed the four year, multiyear federal aviation construction bill and as a result, contractors are not knowing how many people to hire and how much equipment to buy. >> he should have done that in 2009. it would have been an easy pass because he had both houses that were democratically controlled. the president has gone out and how much speeches has he given where he's able to say the republicans keep voting this down. the republicans keep voting this down. >> democrats join them. remember yesterday, a majority of the senate voted no. i mean, that means the republicans and democrats combined on this thing against it. >> let's talk about what you did talk about that you did an interesting study and wrote about it in "the wall street journal" or you noticed this study that shows that the republicans are much happier with the field of candidates they have that would be perceived at first glance. >> right. associated press did a poll. nearly 2/3 of republicans are enthusiastic about their field. up from 40 some odd percent in the early summer. same in the fox news poll.

fox news poll found a similar number of people enthused. by comparison in 1991, remember that, the democrats only 18% were enthusiastic about their ticket. and yet, bill clinton went on to win the presidency so first of all, i'm not certain there's a particularly effective measure but the republicans are enthusiastic about their field. >> so you think that's because it has been solidified for the most part. >> i don't think -- look, we are not solidified. you never solidify the field until you actually begin voting. that's why four years ago today, rudy giuliani was leading fred thompson. >> as far as new people coming in. >> sure, absolutely. >> now, rasmussen did a poll on november 2nd. this week, and it turns out herman cain is still leading with 26%. mitt romney with 23%. newt on the rise with 14%. nobody else in double figures. what do you think? >> look, i suspect herman cain's numbers are going to be lower in a week. it takes a while for people to digest this controversy. and the first couple of days, there might be a rally around the candidate effect. but look, he's not handled this well.

megyn kelly's interview to mark block yesterday was revealing. there's herman cain who says the media is making an unfair true. he denied initially that any women had been let go from the national restaurant association because of actions he might have taken and it now turns out there were at least two but he then turns and says it's the rick perry campaign that did it. and the rick perry campaign put out the person accused, curt anderson. i thought anderson did a particularly powerful job and not only said i didn't do it and i like herman cain but says if i've talked to any reporter about it, they have their permission to come forward and talk about it. so when confronted by this on megyn kelly's program, mark block, the cain campaign manager says we accept their words. in other words, you, the cain campaign accuse the perry campaign without any information whatsoever and now you would retract the charge? that's exactly -- that's exactly what you are accusing the media of doing. >> do you think it's important to find out who planted the story? >> i do. i think it's in herman cain's interest to -- more important

than finding out who planted the story to get this thing behind him and the way to get it behind him is for the national restaurant association to take those reports which he says exonerates him and get the reports out. this thing is good. look, this is going to die down within the republican primary. but if herman cain were to become our nominee, you can bet the obama campaign would take this controversy and use it to jam him hard. best way to get it behind him is for the national restaurant association to lay out those reports, redact the names of the women, give them some privacy. lay out the reports and let herman cain, he says those reports will say he did nothing wrong. let's hope they do. >> have a good weekend. >> haven't seen you in a while. good to see you. >> i got the memo about red tie to complement the red dress. what happened to you? >> i don't know. i have to check my e-mail. there must be some problem with optim optimum. >> a movie with madoff

>> hey. some political news. president obama just went to the g-20 summit to give europe advice on its debt crisis. wait. europe is getting economic advice from obama? that's like j.lo getting marriage advice from kim kardashian. >> who cut off her trip to australia one day because of a headache. >> i'm surprised we didn't lead with that. >> you're right. if i had my choice, that's my news. a new movie opening up today has a timely plot considering the economic situation that we are currently in. courtney friel is here with more on this film called "tower heist." >> yes, and i saw it. i'll give you my review in a second. development on "tower heist"

began in 2006 before the recession and before bernie madoff's ponzi scheme and before occupy wall street but the script adapted to those events and the actors tell me they think their movie is a good diversion. >> so you're saying you want to rob $20 million from the penthouse apartment? >> when a group of employees at an exclusive apartment building find out their own resident, a wealthy wall street businessman lost their pensions in his ponzi scheme, they conspire to steal the money back. eddie murphy is just one of the sidekicks ben stiller's character enlists to help pull off "the tower heist." >> you are a modern day robin hood. >> yes, the country needs a modern day robin hood and ben stiller is the man. >> it relates to today's frustrations about the economy and provides an escape. >> sort of a fantasy of doing this but has a reality level to it that doesn't make it seem like it's totally ridiculous. >> do you guys know anyone close to you that was affected by the

economy or even the madoff situation? >> hard to meet anybody who has not been affected by the situation that we're in. >> i know people who were affected by bernie madoff. >> i do, too. >> yeah. >> alan alda plays the bernie madoff type villian, tea the f.b.i. agent chasing him and matthew broderick is another victim. their roles did not help them better understand what those swindled by madoff in real life experience. >> it's really hard to imagine what it's like to have somebody convince you he's helping you and in fact, he takes everything you have. >> what those people went through, i wouldn't pretend to believe that i had any inkling of what it was like. >> i was playing somebody who is absolutely broke and lost everything and thank god, i haven't felt that way. >> and they enjoyed playing out a different ending in this movie. they were joking in the sequel, they'll take on the government and the banks. >> that is ripped from the headlines, right? you said robin hood. didn't the wall street protesters put on robin hood hats and protest? >> i'm not sure.

is that before or after they ripped the sinks out of the wall and the toilets from the -- >> i want to get courtney's take on this movie. >> i really liked it because it was funny. there are some unrealistic moments, of course, and there should be a disclaimer. if you are afraid of heights, you're seriously going to be watching like this because it's shot in donald trump's building, the trump tower in columbus circle. which was difficult for them to shoot in very busy new york city. >> courtney friel says go see it and again, if you go see it and don't like it, will you refund everybody's money? >> you're going to like it. >> is that a hairpiece that ben stiller was wearing? >> i don't know. >> inside celeb secrets. >> we all have secrets with our hair. >> really? >> speak for yourself, courtney. good to see you. have a great weekend. let's do a couple of headlines for you. police in nevada releasing chilling industrichill ing video of a deadly shooting rampage at i-hop.

there you see the gunman firing on a woman who tried to escape on her motorcycle. she was shot but survived thanks to her helmet. people inside the i-hop were not as lucky. he killed four people including three national guard members, he then turned the gun on himself. police say the 32-year-old, schizophrenic. eric? >> and the fate of michael jackson's doctor now in the hands of the jury. deliberate ranges-- deliberatio getting under way this morning. >> for michael's children, this case will go on forever because they do not have a father. they do not have a father because of the actions of conrad murray. >> what they're really asking you to do is so convict dr. murray for the actions of michael jackson. >> so if convicted, murray could get four years in prison and lose his medical license. >> u.s. citizens pretending to be an illegal immigrant so he could avoid going to jail on drug charges. he got caught up with cocaine

and heroin in salt lake city and then gave police a fake name and said he snuck into the country. the lie worked because prosecutors deported him. he was busted again, though, re-entering the u.s. with an american passport but he's on the loose once again after blowing off a court appearance. look for him in a brown sweatshirt. >> that's an interesting defense i haven't heard yet. apparently it might have worked almost. president obama has ticked off elaine from "seinfeld"? >> get out! get out! get out! >> julia louise-dreyfuss is telling the president to get out. here's the video she posted criticize the president for not living up to his campaign promises. >> remember when president obama said let us be the generation that ends the tyranny of oil. man, that was great. except, i just checked and right now, big oil is still pretty much running the show. >> talking about the proposed keystone x.l. pipeline which

would carry oil through the u.s. to the gulf of mexico. the president said he'd decide whether to approve the pipeline by the end of the year. excuse me. all right. she's not the only critic of the president, guys. >> bill clinton wrote a book, has another book out. not really about him. about his economic policies where what he was doing and how great he was as compared to bush who he's very critical of but more importantly, i think that noteworthy, too, especially in this time when he's up for re-election, he's critical of president obama, especially during the debt ceiling debacle. >> yeah. >> and probably rightly so. i mean, here's the president who said he wanted to put bipartisanship aside and all we saw during the debt ceiling debacle, crisis, whatever you want to call it was partisanship, fighting back and forth. >> bill clinton says in this book that he urged the democratic national committee to distribute a clear set of talking points before the midterm elections in 2010. this is the quote, "we couldn't persuade the decision makers to do so."

so as you recall, president clinton was out on the campaign trail trying to get support for the democratic candidates back in 2010. now he's saying in this book, he didn't have much help. he didn't have a clear set of issues and talking points to work off of. >> well, also, he goes on to say look how good i did it this entire time and look at how everything worked out for me and he criticized the bush administration for spending too much when in reality, and you would know this because you lived it, eric. a lot of the problems that we had that caused a collapse were all fertilized back in his days. >> fertilized in the housing crisis, started there. that's where it started to go through the push of fannie and freddie committee reinvestment act being reinvigorated. >> how we opened the show. >> yes, how we opened the show. we need to point out that clinton did well because they had an internet boom. he had eight years of an absolute great brand new product like the world discovered computers and the internet so he did well on that. and then he goes on to say but bush spent too much?

well, obama is spending at double the rate that bush spent at. so obama has tacked on $4 trillion in debt in three years. bush tacked on $4 trillion or so in eight years. that's more than double the speed so he really should be pointing the finger at obama, not necessarily bush. >> well, it's a story we've been following closely. a proposal by the justice department to pretend sensitive documents don't exist. up next, a big update on that story. >> then she retired her fastball. but olympic gold medalist jenny finch has the need for speed and some endurance. she's here next with that story. welcome idaho,

>> some quick headlines, justice department is dropping a proposal that would allow officials to deny the existence of certain sensitive information to the public. this decision comes after criticism over government transparency and a dramatic rescue in new jersey. two workers were stuck in a construction bucket 75 feet off the ground. the men were fixing a church steeple when a safety mechanism on the bucket locked. after two failed attempts, rescue workers used a crane to get them down. gretchen, catch. >> i got it. i caught it. she's retired her fastball but jennie finch is far from finished competing in sports. this weekend, america's most famous softball player and olympic gold medalist will be running in the new york city marathon. >> as an added challenge, she is starting in last place and seeing how many people she can pass for charity. what a great angle. joining us right now is the author of this book, "throw like a girl" jennie finch. jennie, welcome to the show. >> thanks. good to be here.

>> first off, why would somebody who has accomplished so much say why don't i just try 26.2? >> it's kind of like one day i'll run a marathon. you have this fear of retirement and great way to put competitiveness back in my life and i wasn't expecting it to be four months after giving birth to my second child. >> what's the headline? she just had a baby, all right? all the women out there will kind of be angry at you for looking like you do. they'll be like wow, we admire you. this is your first child, right? >> yes. >> you have two little boys at home. how did you get in shape for a marathon after having a baby? >> i have an awesome coach, timex hooked me up with a coach. this watch is like a trainer on my wrist. >> you've run 19 miles has been your high so far. if you do 19, you know you can do 26. you're going to wear the watch. you're not going to wear a headset. so you're going to start in the very back.

who will be counting how many people you pass? >> i will. it goes by time. so i will be starting last but it's hopefully -- >> how many people are behind you? >> right. i'll be passing them by time. not so much really literally. hopefully i am physically passing a lot of people but for the most part, it will be by time. >> and so far, what would you say the biggest challenge is going to be? is it a mental thing for you to just know you can do it ? what do you take from your years of being a super athlete to this accomplishment? >> definitely the mental toughness. i had to have it on the mound and basically, too, when you hit the streets, you're beyond what you're physically capable of doing at some point. it's mentally, ok, one foot in front of the other. i have to keep going and it's not a matter of stopping. i got to get to the finish line. >> in your book "throw like a girl" you came up in a generation that was probably easier than the previous one, from title 9. people are looking for elite female athletes, did you have hurdles to climb? >> definitely, as a young girl,

i looked up to major league baseball players. now there's an incredible opportunity within the game and i feel blessed to kind of have been -- been able to be part of that era and experience so much that the generation before me didn't and hopefully, open doors for the future and for now. >> i know you want to inspire young girls and boys to get involved in sports because of what it's done for your life. i have to tell you, i love the title. because so much is made about throwing like a girl in a negative way. what's the positive that you see in that title? >> i think you can be proud of being a female and being an athlete and going out there, being empowered and just seeing the physical strength and now it's celebrated where probably 10, 20 years ago, it wasn't so much celebrated to throw like a girl. now we can go out there and, you know, we can wear pink. you can, you know, wear glitter and still be fierce. >> can i say something about that? there's throwing like a girl and there's throwing like jennie finch. how fast did you throw? >> 72 was the fastest. >> underhand. >> yeah. >> major leaguers could not hit

her pitches, brian. >> that was amazing. we'll see this, there's somewhat of a pro league, wnba, there is a next step. jennie finch, thanks so much. good luck. i'm predicting a four hour finish. please don't let me down. >> that's what i'm going for. >> don't sweat. >> i'll be sweating. >> all right. continued success. >> thank you. >> it's never been done before. a subcommittee just subpoenaed the white house over solyndra. judge napolitano up next with what this means and why you should care. >> then the federal government taking steps to make sure illegal immigrants are allow to enroll in public schools. is this the government's responsibility? well, they don't think so. we're going to report, you decide.

>> the solyndra scandal far from over. and now an unprecedented move, republicans in the house subcommittee voting to subpoena the white house for more records related to the bankrupt solar panel company. this subpoena may even force the president to hand over his blackberry. >> joining us right now with more on this is the host of "freedom watch" on the fox business network and the author of "it's dangerous to be right when the government is wrong" judge andrew napolitano, welcome. >> good morning, guys. how are you? >> good. how significant is this, judge? >> it's very significant, brian, if the white house doesn't want to turn over the president's blackberry. remember, the last time we had a crisis like this where the congress was subpoenaing something or in that case, the nixon administration was subpoenaing something, he didn't want to give it up.

he was forced to give it up by the supreme court. we didn't have blackberries and digital communications at the time. for the president to claim executive privilege means he's seen these documents because that privilege only applies to the president personally and then again, it only applies to military secrets, diplomatic secrets and sensitive national security secrets. do you think solyndra fits into any of those categories? of course not. >> solar panels? >> please, can you define executive privilege for us. >> yes, executive privilege is the doctrine that the president should be able to speak freely and examine documents without anybody else looking at them and the courts have narrowed that to those three areas, military, diplomatic and national security but presidents like to claim this, eric, all the time in the hopes that the request for the documents will just go away. i don't think congress is going to back down. the fact that there was that party line vote by a subcommittee yesterday basically signals to the president the republicans in the house are prepared to go all the way on this. this does not require a senate vote. the house of representatives can do it on its own.

send a subpoena to the president of the united states? and under the law, he will be required to reply to that subpoena. if he doesn't want to show the documents, he's got to show them to a federal judge who will look at them in private and decide whether or not the congress can get them. >> here's what the white house is saying. eric schultz says this. this administration has cooperated extensively with the committee's investigation by committing 85,000 pages of documents. we'd like to see as much passion for house republicans in creating jobs as we see in this investigation. >> that part of an answer will not wash with the federal judge. the subpoena invokes profound powers to get documents from somebody else. >> what we're looking for here, judge, is somebody, maybe a conflict of interest? >> yeah, they're looking for a decision to give money to solyndra that was political. they're also looking for -- this came out late last night, the contemplation of bailing out solyndra even after they lost the $500 million. that would be incendiary. >> very quickly, these redacted

documents that darrell issa keeps holding up from the fast & furious investigation, can they redact that and say we'll turn it over and redact 3/4 of it. >> not subject to the subpoena. only the federal judge could do the redacting and not the white house itself. >> watch "freedom watch" tonight weeknights at 8:00. judge napolitano, thanks so much. >> pleasure, guys. >> all right, is this what our next generation will look like? >> this is your place? >> no, no, no, no, no. i live with my ma. >> oh. >> you hungry? hey, ma! can we get some meatloaf? >> apparently mama's boys are making a comeback. that story is top of the hour. >> yeah, it's sad. police take down made for the movies. an officer uses his cop car to stop suspects in the plane. ♪

that will be coming up in a few minutes. learn more details about the sexual harassment claims against g.o.p. presidential candidate herman cain. this afternoon, the national restaurant association will respond to a document written by one of cain's accusers. his story has changed over the last week from claims there were no settlements to the actual amounts that were paid out. most recently, there are reports that one woman was given $45,000 as part of her settlement. from occupying wall street to occupying a jail cell, you're looking now at yet another group of protesters being arrested in downtown manhattan. this time police busted 17 people accused of trespassing outside of the headquarters for goldman-sachs. meantime, nearly 80 protesters who were arrested back in september got their day in court yesterday. prosecutors offered to drop charges against them but only nine people accepted. why? because now the rest are pushing for trials and those will be at the taxpayers expense. sarah palin calling out the occupy wall street protesters.

they said they're just like the rich business moguls who they're fighting against. >> they say wall street fat cats got a bailout. so now i want one, too. and the correct answer is no one is entitled to a bailout. >> palin making the comments at a state fundraiser for the republican party of florida last night. this might look like a theme from a movie but it's real police footage from brazil. take a close look at this. federal agents armed with assault rifles chasing a small plane down a dirt runway. the cops ramming their car into the wheel of the plane and spinning it around to keep it from taking off. busted inside this plane, five suspected drug smuggleers. wow. and those are your headlines. >> well, early on the show, we had karl rove here and he was dissecting in an op ed recently the g.o.p. field and whether or not the american public is actually satisfied now with the candidates who we have who are

running for -- the republicans have running for president. >> it seems like the republican field, the republicans are very happy with the people they have to choose from, from rick santorum and michelle bachmann to newt gingrich and herman cain as well as rick perry and, of course, ron paul. the republicans are surprisingly pleased to what they have to choose from 62 days until the iowa caucuses. >> a lot of pointing fingers, though, at each other right now. >> i haven't heard anything about that. >> from sarah palin, boy, i think maybe -- i wonder where she would be right now in the polls with all this other stuff going on. my guess, pretty close to the top. >> you think so? >> yeah. >> that's an interesting way to look at it. let's look at the latest rasmussen poll. now, i find this fascinating because this poll took place on wednesday. and that was at least three days after the herman cain sexual harassment allegations had come to the forefront. look who is still in the lead. herman cain. 26%.

mitt romney at 23%. newt gingrich continues to climb and he's now at 14%. rick perry at 8% and ron paul at 7%. >> down a little bit, though. right? i mean, he had been pulling around 31%, 32% going into this. >> i don't think so. no, no, this looks pretty much -- this looks pretty much where he was. now, according to karl rove, in his estimation, that could change as more information continues to come out. >> says he usually takes a couple of weeks. he does not believe that newt is going to get much higher. it will be interesting to see how much higher you can get because as soon as you have this thing called the debate which is coming out next week, then -- >> as soon as you clarify where some of the fingerpointing is coming from, then i think that whole thing -- >> john mccain. >> i think that will clear up a lot of those. i think those numbers, you know, you'll have two or three up here and the rest down here. >> as world leaders wrap up talks of the g-20 summit, the future of greece, the euro zone and the global economy remains in question.

fox business reporter ashley webster is in athens, greece, with the latest. how is it going? >> well, you know what? compared to 24 hours ago, it is remarkably quiet. yesterday, we had new headlines coming out every other minute. today, eerily quiet, perhaps the calm before the storm. all eyes focused on the building behind me, the greek parliament building where the prime minister faces a vote of confidence. question is does he have enough votes? if he doesn't, that would throw this whole process into chaos. a new coalition government would have to be formed and the fate of the bailout so desperately needed by greece will be hanging up in the air so a lot to be considered not only for greece who desperately needs this bailout. it is facing bankruptcy but also the euro zone as a whole because there's a real concern that if greece collapses and greece collapses and has to drop out of the euro zone, then other countries with weak economies could also be next in line. the biggest, of course, being

italy, the third largest economy in europe so a lot of concern from the major countries in europe about what happens here in athens later today. there are calls for the prime minister to resign. that's from the opposition party who say, look, you need to resign. there should never have been a call for a referendum. the greek people don't want you in charge. you need to leave now but he's a canny and clever politician. he's managed to last this long though it has to be said, he's hanging by a thread but all will be decided later today. we understand the vote will take place sometime after 5:00 p.m. local. that's 11:00 a.m. eastern. it could go on as late as midnight tonight athens time so we'll have to wait and see what happens. but a lot riding on that vote, guys. >> that's going to be interesting. but at least it's calmed down because i think the rest of europe said listen, you got a choice. get off the euro or forget about the referendum. ashley, thanks so much. >> let's talk about what's going on in alabama right now.

in the last couple of months, they put into law one of the most controversial and strict laws on the books with regard to illegal immigrants. it was more strict, if that's the right terminology, than the law that arizona originally put on the books about a year ago. well, now, as a result, it looks like the department of justice on the federal level is trying to do a little bit of digging and investigation as to whether or not illegals are actually given the chance to go to school in alabama. >> yeah, so the attorney general has gotten involved in this and say yeah, we have to look into this so we'll send a letter. we're going to send a letter to the schools saying i want to make sure that no kid is being kicked out of school because they're illegal immigrant and they want information to prove that. now, alabama's attorney general says he was perplexed and troubled by this. he says he doesn't think the government is allowed, legally allowed to request this type of information of any school district and nobody in his state. so he is pushing back against it. >> you know, i sat down with jan brewer, governor jan brewer from arizona yesterday, airing

it today and it really is interesting that she said all we were trying to do was close the border and then the state got sued and interestingly, she got sued personally. now, south carolina, i wonder if alabama is the next one that's going to, you know, feel the wrath of the department of justice. maybe. maybe it's, you know, state level first and then they kick it up, up to the feds. >> they are -- the obama administration did file a challenge on alabama's immigration law. so that originally happened after the law came into play in late september. but you're saying in regards to -- >> the direct lawsuit telling them, hey, we're taking over your law. i mean, arizona passed laws. south carolina passed a law. alabama, i guess, did it pass or they're still looking into whether it's going to pass? >> alabama's attorney general has asked the justice department to show where it had the authority to demand the information or compel that information production that illegal immigrants are no longer allowed in those classrooms so they want to see if they can find evidence of that and then put those kids back in the

classrooms. and the alabama law essentially says if you have the child of an illegal immigrant, you shouldn't be getting a free education. >> sounds like a states' rights issue here. what do you feel about this? e-mail us or tweet us and let us know where you fall on this particular debate. at the beginning of the hour, we talked about who do you think is moving back home at a higher rate? young men or young women? well, apparently, 1 out of 5 men in their 20's and 30's are now moving back home to live with mom and dad. and i guess we could say it's because of the economy. >> for example, if you are a male between 18 and 24 in the year 2005, 53% of you were living at home. now, in 2011, 59%. for women it was 46% in 2005 and now it's 50% from 18 to 24. >> 2/3 of men are living at home? >> right. >> i'll tell you what, it's attractive and i blame hollywood because when you see this, you

think why should i go anywhere? watch. >> this must be melody. >> melissa. >> oh, it's melissa! melissa. ok. all right. y'all have a good time. >> thanks, pop. >> you live with your parents? >> is that a problem? >> that was pretty good movie. >> did he finally come to his senses? i'm not going to give it away. let's look at another clip. maybe this one resonates with you. >> is this your place? >> no, no, no, no, i live with my ma. >> oh! >> yeah. >> you hungry? hey, ma, can we get some meatloaf? hey, ma, some meatloaf. we want it now! the meatloaf! >> what is she doing? i never know what she's doing back there. >> oh, my gosh. >> yeah, slaving away, ironing,

>> 16 minutes after the top of the hour. another day and more information coming out about the allegations against herman cain. now, one of his accusers is requesting the right to address the scandal and give her side of the story through a statement. but what constitutes sexual harassment in the workplace anyway? here with a closer look is fox news legal analyst and expert in employment loss, mercedes colon. good to see you. >> great to be here. >> what does constitute a federal violation? there seems to be so much of a gray area with this topic. >> there is but certainly with the federal violation, it has to be severe and pervasive, sexually charged behavior so what the federal law states essentially, was there sexual

advances? was there sexual comments? was it severe and pervasive? that's really key here. it can't be just a random thought, random comment. random behavior, it has to be severe and pervasive which would mean a pattern of bad behavior. >> so the only allegation that herman cain has responded to or the story he's told about one of these alleged women is that he said a comment about that she came up to his chin which was the similar height of his wife. if that's all that happened, is that a federal violation? >> not at all. there are even exceptions to that. if you have a stray remark, it's not a violation of the law. if you say it one time, it's not. if that's all that took place, then certainly that's not sexual harassment. >> all right. ok. another one of the alleged women has said in published reports that he asked her to his hotel room. a one time comment of which she was very upset and she went to the national restaurant board

association. is that a federal violation? >> not so. i mean, certainly if there's anything else -- in just that comment alone, could have been that he was in a suite. it could have been a separate part of his room. that comment alone would not be a federal violation. but if it was, for instance, if he was touching her at the time, stroking her arm, caressing her face, in that context, it may be. >> very interesting. now, we've been covering this story since it broke over the weekend that a lot of times companies decide to give settlements to some of these women or men who bring these allegations forward because it's so -- it's so cost effective to do it in that way and it doesn't necessarily mean guilt. >> you're exactly right. it's so expensive to defend these claims, to put it in context. single point of claim, one of these allegations at one point it's about $250,000 to defend. it's so much easier. don't devote the time, money and resources to defend yourself. just make sure to do it and certainly in this case, we're talking $35,000, $45,000, if

that's in fact what the settlement was paid out. then certainly that's not a lot of money in this. >> before i let you go, apparently today, the news is one of these women is asking for the national restaurant association to allow her to give a statement about what happened. even though she signed a nondisclosure form where she can't talk about the case. what do you expect to happen here? >> i think the nra is going to say absolutely not. we signed -- you signed this confidentiality agreement, you had choice of counsel. you discussed it with counsel. we paid a premium for it because that's probably why they paid her almost a year's salary if in fact that's the settlement amount. that was the premium for that confidentiality agreement. they would probably refuse to do it and frankly, the only possible way maybe she goes to court and asks the court for that to be lifted but certainly it's not going to happen. >> very interesting, 68% of your business is in exactly this so you know about this. great to see you this morning. thanks so much. >> thank you so much.

so did he make a mistake and should the former speaker of the house be trumpeting those moves? joining us right now with a fair and balanced debate, editor for "commentary" magazine and columnist for the daily beast and fox news contributor kristin powers. you must have a heck of a 401k, three different places. and john is here, columnist and deep thinker. what do you think about the explanation that nancy pelosi is saying look how productive i was compared to boehner. >> i think that's a very dangerous game to play. >> for democrats. >> for democrats, i mean, first of all, that's a soundbite. you got there to use in a commercial, barack obama was a job creator from day one and then, you know, you can run a little kyron that says four million jobs lost or whatever the number will be next year so politically, it's dumb as it was for the obama white house in 2009 to issue that statement saying that the passage of the stimulus bill would lead directly to unemployment numbers two percentage points lower than they are now.

nobody in politics should ever make a prediction that they do not know will come true. >> right. >> it's a terrible blunder. >> unless you're rex ryan of the jets. tell me, did you have trouble with those comments or think she was right to say it? >> no, i don't have a problem with it. i mean, maybe the job creator problem, job creator statement wasn't the most ideal statement but i think you hit on the main thing. the dumbst thing that they ever did was say that they were going to get unemployment to 8% because there are plenty of economists , very reputable economists who say exactly what nancy pelosi just said which is without the stimulus, we would be in a worst place than we are now. that's the argument that she's making. and, you know, but because they said we'd be at 8%, everybody can say, it didn't work because we're not at 8%. >> it's almost like george bush coming out and saying let's talk about post invasion iraq in 2004 because clearly, he was having trouble. the stimulus package and obamacare are the two most unpopular things he's done. >> key thing about the stimulus

is assume that john mccain had won the election in 2008, there would have been a stimulus. that's the problem with these counter factuals. there would have been a republican stimulus, it would have been smaller and designed differently and chances are it would have been ineffective. as it turns out, the hole was very much deeper than people realized and the recovery is very much slower and this promise that politicians can act, do a and there will be b result of the economy turns out to be the biggest blunder of our time. >> real quick, i want to get president obama's approval ratings, going up. he's over at the g-20 right now. is that heading a lot -- is that a lot to do with the g.o.p. turmoil or things feel better than they did a few weeks ago. >> you don't see a big connection of what's going on. if it's -- you know, if you're doing a matchup, then it would matter what's going on in the republican field. but look, i mean, 43 is still really bad. you know, i mean that's -- you

don't want to be under 50% if you're an incumbent president, he has a long way to go. >> unfortunately, this is as long as we can go. always great to see you. >> pleasure. >> coming up straight ahead, would our nation be better off with more women in power? our next guest says yes, the girl scouts hold the key plus a student slapped with suspension for hugging. should hugs be against school rules? we'll report, you decide.

80% of the women in top management positions in this country were girl scouts. 100% of our female astronauts were girl scouts. and 70% of female elected officials so we have an amazing track record. >> amazing is underscoring the whole thing. your own personal life underscores the story of what you teach in being a girl scout. you're the first in your family to go to college. and what happened when you went to the school person to ask what you should do with your life? >> yeah, and it was -- it's not changed a lot so i was a high achiever in high school. i'm sort of a working class neighborhood. and the counsellor said, you know, kathy, i think you should go to a good secretarial school and not that there's anything at all wrong with secretarial school, my mother was a secretary, but i just had this ding-ding that said there was more for me and i, you know, eventually got out of secretarial school and went on

to get a master's degree. >> uh-huh. so this is all about teaching leadership. and that's one of the things that you talk a lot about in this book is we've got to continue to teach our girls at a young age about these leadership positions. >> exactly. it's teaching both girls and it's also wakeening society to the fact that girls need to be taken seriously. that girls are leading right now in girl scouts and across the country. but we still tend to minimalize girls as potential leaders. >> why? >> i don't think the country has really paid attention enough to the fact that we don't have women in top leadership in the country. >> secretary of state is a leader. >> 3% of the fortune 500 women are -- 3% of the total ceo's in fortune 500 companies are women. only 3% of the hedge funds in this country were managed by women. so you can just imagine, maybe we would not be in the pickle if

we had more women in those hedge fund jobs. >> you have leadership elements that you think we should all keep in mind. for parents watching right now that you try to convey. number one, believe in yourself. >> absolutely. >> have a lot of self-confidence. value and appreciate diversity. what do you mean by that? >> we believe a core skills set is people in general to have empathy for and compassion for other people, leaders work with others and this country is richly diverse so girls and leaders need to grow up really understanding how to work across diverse sectors. >> what's going on with enrollment? with membership? having a hard time getting young people to sign on to girl scouts? >> we're having a hard time getting volunteers. so girls are out there waiting and if we can increase volunteers which we've done this year, and especially volunteers from diverse backgrounds because the girls are, you know, richly diverse so we are really tapping the volunteer issue. >> i know that you have new badges that you're putting into

effect since 1987. i had the opportunity to go and speak to a girl scout troupe when they were talking about their communication badge. so how will the badges change now? >> yeah, and we've done a complete overhaul as we go into the hundreds. some we're keeping. you can still get a cooking badge but now there's a healthy living twist to the cooking badge but we've got inventer badges for brownie girl scouts to learn about engineering design. we've got an entertainment technology badge for girls to learn not only about how much fun it is to do a roller coaster, they learn about the -- sort of the science behind the roller coaster. >> financial literacy badge? >> it is huge. girls really need those financial skills. so from budgeting to good credit, a lot of emphasis on financial literacy. >> all the proceeds from your book are going back to the girl scouts. >> back to the girl scouts. >> called "tough cookies." the ceo. >> what's your favorite cookie? >> the thin mint. >> obviously. >> yeah. >> thank you. >> coming up straight ahead,

>> they're not only occupying space, the protesters at wall street are also blocking businesses and cloging the legal system, too. so are the occupy wall street folks really just trying to shut down the economy? fox news legal analyst peter johnson jr. is here with some thoughts. peter? >> well, obviously, oak land proves that, in fact, that they are -- the general strike which is outlawed by the taft hartley act in the united states is really the calling card of anarchists, socialists and the most extreme part of american and world labor. so we've seen this before. we saw it in 1946 in oakland, we saw in 1919 back in seattle after the anarchists came to light. we saw it in france in 1968, in may of 1968, a general strike brought france to its knees.

11 million workers stopped working. so this is social revolution of the world. this is end capitalism. this is incredible where you say we're going to blockade the fifth largest port in the united states and say that it's acceptable. that's an acceptable act to block a port. this is not a strike. i'm ok with strikes. if someone wants to strike their workplace, that's fine. but block a port? different story. you pointed that out yesterday. take a look at this full screen you have right here. costing big bucks. it cost nationally so far $8 1/2 million plus they're cloging up courts and they're hurting small businesses. hundreds of restaurants, shops and workers affected. >> it's just the tip of the iceberg. when you have 200 folks, long shoremen who couldnan't go to t shift because 3,000 or 4,000 people have marched through oakland and said we're not going to allow you to go to work,

we're going to shut down the means of commerce and production, that is an alarming event in america. and so when you say well, folks are dissatisfied, it's more than dissatisfied when it moves towards that kind of event. and when you hear broadcasters and i was watching television the other night. i saw one person talk about this as if it was a nostalgic revery looking back at what happened in oakland in 1946 as if they were summer camp movies or it was a thanksgiving reunion and said god, this is incredible. boy, this is the american spirit. the american spirit is to build. the american spirit is not to shut down. the american spirit is to create. the american spirit is not to block. so when you say we're going to shut down banks, we're going to break windows. we're going to be subject to tear gas and flash grenades, that's not the america that we know. and so we got to be looking hard

judge jeanine pirro. this is one of those stories when you're an outsider, you go what? >> if this case weren't so sad, it would be a testament to that adage, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. this woman hired three different hitmen to try to kill her lover's wife. one, they have a spray of bullets going through the house. two, they have a guy shoot her through the front door. that didn't work. third guy she gets to actually go to the car where she's parked in her new apartment because, of course, they move out of the house and then shoots her in the abdomen and she plays dead and the kicker is the woman is standing by her husband who, by the way, has been charged with solicitation to commit capital murder. but yesterday, there was a closing argument, the jury is out now on whether or not the third guy, this guy flores should be found guilty. one guy has been found guilty of one of the attempted murders. he's in prison for 45 years. the mistress, i hate even using that word, is -- has taken a plea deal for 25 years but the

real question is in february, when the husband is charged, will he be convicted of solicitation to commit murder? and by the way, how did the mistress know where she was going to be, when she was going to be alone, if she didn't get it from the husband? but leave that alone, where does the secretary get $40,000, $50,000 to $60,000 to pay people to kick off her lover's wife. >> mistress was the secretary. >> it seems like he needs to be reprimanded. >> very passionate about the case. >> you have me hanging on the edge of the sofa. >> by the way, you know what the husband says, it says it's shocking, shocking that my girlfriend, he admits to it. shocking. shocking, like in casablanca two, is that shocking? >> will the girlfriend even though she confessed and got a lower sentence of 25 years in prison. >> yes. >> she'll take the stand to tell a story about the husband, right? >> you know what's interesting is she hasn't said anything about the husband in the prior

trials. understand six people have been indicted. it all starts at a tattoo shop where the tattoo artist gets everybody involved and then makes all the arrangements but we haven't heard from the mistress' mouth whether or not the husband is involved. >> those were not henna tattoos, probably real tattoos. >> i bet they're real. if you don't kill this person, i'll mess up your tattoo. >> is there a chance this woman was doing it on her own? the mistress was saying i got to kill the wife. >> of course there's a chance. you've got an indictment, you have a grand jury and you indicted the husband and the evidence seems to be a little shocking in terms of where she got the money, how she knew the wife was alone on all these occasions so, you know. leave it up to you. >> i want to put it out there. some intrigue. judge, we'll watch you over the weekend. >> yes, we have a sheriff coming in from south carolina who says because of an attempted rape, women should get guns and protect themselves because he can't protect them. and kim kardashian, makes me crazy. was it a fairytale wedding or choreographed scam? and baby lisa. and maybe this.

than planned. president obama says the european debt crisis, the upheaval in greece are holding back the global economic recovery, keeping the u.s. and other countries from creating as many jobs as they otherwise might. the u.s. has another jobs report out in about a half hour, expected to show only anemic growth and mr. obama said yesterday, resolving the debt crisis is the main goal of the summit. >> this is going to be a very busy two days. central to our discussions will be how do we achieve greater things and put people back to work. that means we'll have to resolve the situation here in europe. >> that is unlikely, however, in the few hours of the summit that are left. greece overshadowed the summit yesterday and it's not even a member of the g-20. the prime minister called for and canceled a referendum on budget cuts he had already agreed to after european leaders threatened to cut off the loans

keeping his government afloat. u.s. officials made clear they're not promising any additional money. the greek opposition leader says he will push for a vote of no confidence in the government in greece. >> he almost destroyed greece in europe, the euro, the international stock markets, his own party in order to insure what? so he could blackmail me and the public? >> u.s. officials believe the debt crisis may well topple his government. it already pushed the government of ireland from power earlier this year and officials say it may not be the last european government to fall. gretchen. >> gretchen: a very scary situation going on. thanks. more headlines. breaking news out of new york. former new jersey governor jon corzine quitting this morning as ceo of his securities firm, mf global. the board confirms he will not take his $12 million severance package. the sec now investigating

if not specifically stated in writing, kim kardashian has to return that huge two million dollars ring. >> brian: it still had the bubble wrap on it. >> if that was true love. i think you're being cynical. >> gretchen: let's move on to something else that has a lot of people upset and that's the continuation of the occupy wall street riots. specifically let's go to oakland, california, because things have gotten very violent out there and they shut down the entire port there the other night. is this giving the occupy mission, if that's what you want to call it, a bad name? >> yes, it is. this looks like a blending of two crowds. this looks like the disgruntled kids, but also the g-20 type anarchists. those whose only goal in life is to create anarchy, to creature moil and trouble. they are the more radical groups and clearly they have taken control of occupy oakland. i don't believe that's yet the case here in new york. >> eric: why not? >> i've been down there.

>> eric: they're not throwing bottles and cans, they're instead throwing each other std's? >> did you see the "new york post" today? transmission of sexual diseases is restricted to the park, that's your headline. i think this age group, that's what they do. >> eric: my headline is it doesn't matter what they're doing. the fact is, what are they doing? who are they representing? what's the mission? what's the goal? >> those are all excellent questions. but if the question is whether or not they have become law breaking anarchist, whether they are a clear and present danger to the public health and safety of new york, that's a different question. >> gretchen: they are putting businesses out of business. >> i was out like nice and i was with misser kelly, he's terrific. but he is clearly frustrated by what's going on. this has been prolonged far longer than anyone ever expected. mayor bloomberg changed his position. he goes from being one benign neglect to one who is really

concerned about the effect on local area businesses. but the park, like it or not, has become a catalyst for a discussion. eric may not like this, but there are really people now speaking about income disparity and the lack of opportunities in this country that were not engaged prior to this time. >> brian: that's true and no one has been down there more than you. actually you brought cameras: but over the last couple of days, it doesn't seem like mayor bloomberg is -- we had the bike racks, went back after being lifted. >> here is what i believe is the city strategy. it will work in all the northern tier cities. it won't work in occupy san diego or these other southern cities. they're going to wait until the temperature dips below 32. then there are public ordinances that allow the city officials to clear the streets of vagrants who might be hurt by the weather and then they are being treated fairly. they are being treated equal protection and all the rest of

it. i think there is a seasoned certain that will end our travail. >> gretchen: the reason they didn't do that before is because they didn't want to be sued, which so many people are upset about. >> but it's a mucky thing. i was a radical lawyer. i know how to gum up the courts. these people in the lawyers guild and civil liberties union, they know how to mess things up in terms of, okay, all of us want a jury trial. >> gretchen: that's what they're doing. and the taxpayers will pay for it. i have to move to the next topic. you say that these preteen boys, these 12-year-old two boys who pushed off the shopping cart and went down four stories and hit an innocent woman -- by the way, buying halloween candy for the needy at a store -- hit her on the head, she may die now or at the very least be neurologically damaged for life and you say they should be tried as juveniles. >> before we get to why geraldo is a punk part of the story,

let's back up. marian hedges, a wonderful, saintly socialite, graduated from hi girls' high school where i graduated one. i've got two more in school there. she's a wonderful person. and the irony, the bitter irony is that sunday before halloween and she's in that big urban mall buying hundreds and hundreds of dollars of halloween candy to give out to exactly the underprivileged kids who committed this awful act. now, there are a couple of things about this. now to the issue we probably will disagree. in new york state, it's very clear that when you're 12 years old, you are not -- you do not have the status or the capability or the -- you're not part of the category that gets tried in criminal court. if you are 15 years old, you go to criminal court if it's a murder. 16 for most other crimes. at the age of 12, these are children. they really are. they are punks. they are gangster wannabes. but more than anything, they are

children in fatherless homes who are unsupervised. they run wild. their mothers -- this is why i'm a republican, because these social statutes are designed to destroy families. there is aid to dependent children. to be a dependent child, you can't have a father at home. what this does is it is an incentive for the father to procreate and leave so the mother has an income stream from the government. there is no incentive. they live in the nearby public housing project that mothers are frustrated. they are bewildered. they don't know what to do. but these are children, 12 years old. >> eric: is it unrealistic to take it on a case by case basis? i've seen 12-year-olds who act like they're 25. >> i think you run the risk of executing children or those with diminished mental capacity. i think when you're 12 years old, you're 12 years old. go to family court. it's unfortunate.

these kids will do 18 months in juvenile detention, they're going to come out and be hardened criminals anyway. 18 months in that place with the rapes and the big boys dominating them and telling them how to run their lives and all the rest of it, that's going to be the tragedy. >> gretchen: no solution is a good one. >> i think the solution is the fathers have to be responsible for the children they bring into the world. >> gretchen: i agree with you. >> they entwhistle to court and family court, those mothers stood by their children. no fathers in sight. 52% of latinos in this city. 66% of black families, no father at home. it is a real crisis. those are the kinds of issues that community leaders should be speaking about when they talk about our community needs help. >> brian: we're going to watch you this weekend on sunday night. >> thank you. i'll do a lot of herman cain. i think the hermanator train permanently derailed. >> brian: the polls say he's still going strong.

straight ahead, who stands to win the most? frank luntz breaks them down. >> eric: should kim kardashian give back her wedding gifts? mario lopez bought one. we'll see what he thinks when he sits down on the curvy couch.

>> eric: republican candidates continue to fight it out for who has the best economic plan. all have stepped up their political ads to push their message. but are they connecting with the american people? joining us now is frank luntz. welcome. talk about the couple ads. i think you want to talk about perry first? >> i want to do perry first because this is a demonstration of his capability of attracting solid republican votes when he speaks positive. he's got very strong elements of

change, simplifying the tax code, significant budget cuts. it's exactly what republicans want to hear. and it dials incredibly well. let's take a look. >> as president, i'll create at least 2 1/2 million new jobs. and i know something about that. in texas, we created over 1 million new jobs while the rest of the nation lost over 2 million. i'll start by opening american oil and gas bills, i'll eliminate president obama's regulations that hurt other sources of domestic energy, like coal and natural gas. that will create jobs and reduce our reliance on oil from countries that hate america. i'm rick perry. and i approve of this message. >> he's actually off the charts among conservatives. it's exactly what they want to hear. they don't hear that from him during the debates because he's challenged. >> eric: for me, i can't figure out why rick perry would let them get off the job creation. doesn't matter what they ask him, he should be turning right to this, right? >> for some reason, someone programmed him to attack.

what they should have done is to say look, we're the only one who has done this. there are more jobs created in texas than almost all the other states combined. that's incredible. >> eric: someone said, what about gardasil. yeah, but how about those jobs we created. let's check mitt romney out. >> this one does even better. once again, it's a positive ad, focuses on romney's strategy and republicans like it. watch how high this dials. >> 25 million americans out of work or stopped looking for work or just in part-time jobs who need full time work, evidence that president obama does not work for america. we need to bring in an entirely different approach to washington. this exceptional nation will not be stopped by anything other than government becoming too big. we're going to steal that government and increase the freedom of the american people so that we can once again be the most powerful economy in the world, good for the middle class, meeting the jobs of american's needs and we can

remain as we have always been, the hope of the earth. thanks, guys. great to be with you. >> eric: frank, i spent a long time reading charts in the financial world over there. that's one of those charts that i call a picasso. it starts at the lower left and goes to the upper right throughout the whole span. >> because he's not just talking about the specifics. he's talking about american opportunity, american freedom. these are values, principles that republicans in particular take near and dear to their heart. that's language perfection and if these candidates were doing that, they would be beating barak obama by ten points. >> eric: we have to leave it there. neither one of those are attack ads. thank you so much. >> pleasure. >> eric: remember aig was largely to blame for the overlending during the mortgage crisis? now it wants to get back into lending business. does that sound like a good idea to you? and kim kardashian wants to donate her wedding gifts to charity. what if her guests want them back? does greta? let's see what mario lopez plans to do with his.

can't read. 'cause mario lopez is next to me. the controversial plan would have allowed government officials to outright deny the existence of certain records. this decision comes after criticism over government transparency. >> brian: 24 minutes after the hour. you just gave away who the guest is. try to act surprised, america. kim kardashian and kris humphries ended their marriage after 72 days. after throwing a multi-million-dollar highly viewed wedding, what went wrong with those two kids who seemed so perfectly matched? joining us now, someone who knows kim very well, he's good friends with her and went to the wedding and probably would have been the best man had he met kris a long time ago. mario lopez. welcome back. we're going to talk about the marathon. >> first of all, it was an epic wedding. i think oftentimes you focus too much on the wedding itself and not the marriage. >> gretchen: oh, really?

>> which is common with most couples. but she's a sweet girl and honestly i know there has been this whole skepticism about whether it was -- >> brian: what do you think? >> i think she went in there want to go make it work and she was like a hopeless romantic. 'cause i know her. she really wanted it so bad and maybe didn't think the whole thing out. and you live your life in front of the camera and you have to deal with the consequences and unfortunately, she's doing that now. >> eric: what do you think? should the wedding patrons -- should she give the gifts back? >> she mentioned she was donating them to a charity. >> eric: is that okay with you? >> it's her choice to do whatever she wants to. >> eric: i asked greta and she said, i'm not telling you. she said, i'm a lawyer, you can't make me tell you. >> brian: here is the other thing. kris humphries says he still wants to make it work. from a guy who dates women, like you, is it possible -- who dated

for a while. is it possible if someone says that? >> anything is possible, but you have to put work into it. whether it's counseling,. >> brian: he's on the lockout right now, he's got nothing but time. >> got bless him. >> gretchen: it appears he was stunned by what happened. here is the thing, a lot of people think the whole thing was a scam. they think that everyone was in on it and it was a way to make millions of dollars and to sort of hood wink the american public into getting involved in this. you interviewed her best friend, brittany gastinoeu and what did she say? >> it's definitely not a scam. it was not something premeditated. i think it was unfortunate. >> gretchen: what does it say to the people who look up to this family and reality stars in general? it's hard to parent this. i got to be honest. >> it's very difficult. then you hear these stories about whether she should give the ring back.

the whole thing is a snowball effect. i just wish them nothing but luck and i know show stopped her tour in australia and coming back. >> brian: you're a good athlete, but never run 26 miles before. >> i have run marathons and triathalons and being the fitness ambassador for the boys and girls club in america, it's something i take very serious and i'm excited because i've never done the new york before. and my friends at motorola came up with this cool device, which i'm wearing now. but today, you got the option to wear it on the wrist. this right here is so cool because it basically is a personal trainer and a d.j. at the same time. so it tracks alt data that i need, from pace, distance, miles logged, heart rate, everything, and it plays all my favorite music and i can tell it which songs motivate me the most. so if i need to pick up the pace, bam. >> gretchen: that is the one that makes you run. >> and i'm not a techy guy, so

if i can do it, anyone can do it. i don't have my head sets on. >> brian: you're not allowed to wear them in the marathon, right? >> they discourage it. but as far as the music stuff, they discourage it, but it's not necessarily a rule. >> brian: obviously you're in good shape and i'm wondering if you're up for a challenge. >> against you? i don't know if i can handle you. >> brian: we're going to do, to see if you'll be ready for this injury, i want you to risk injury and race me at the end of the show, kind of a precursor. >> have you lost your mind? >> brian: yes. >> right now i'm supposed to be in the tapering off phase and chilling out. you're trying to have me pull a hamstring like my buddy who i'm running with. >> gretchen: you only have to run 20 yards. >> you're serious? >> brian: the good news is gretchen will stretch you out.

>> that i can handle. >> gretchen: okay. thank you for offering me up. mario, we'll see you at the end of the show. when we come back. >> brian: we're going to race. >> gretchen: mar know knows -- mar know knows nothing about this. jobless numbers about to be released. >> eric: chris wallace will join us live from washington. >> brian: first, you bailed them out and now they're back. freddie mac wants another bailout on top of the big bonuses for executives who didn't do a good job. how can you get back pain relief that lasts up to 16 hours? with thermacare heatwraps. thermacare works differently.

>> eric: fox news alert. monthly job numbers out. >> brian: unemployment down from 9.1 to 9. employers added 80,000 jobs in october. so slightly better news. >> gretchen: yep. down from 9.1% unemployment. >> eric: take down in the rate and also they added a few more jobs from the prior two months. still if you take it over the last three or four months, still not producing nearly enough jobs to really have a sustained comeback in the economy. by the way, very quickly, the

white house did reup its look forward through 2012 to stay above 8 1/2% unemployment. >> brian: chris wallace getting ready for fox news sunday. usually he's in a robe warming up in his dressing room, but he comes out today to give us an idea of what he's going to be talking about. chris, welcome. >> well, welcome and before we get into serious stuff, i want to say, you see this? nobody see this is very often. this is my wallet. i am willing to take all the money in this wallet. i'm willing to empty my bank account. i'm willing to mortgage my house. i bet that mario lopez will smoke you in that race. >> brian: wait a second. >> have you looked at yourself? >> brian: you're against me? >> it's not a matter of being for or against you. i'd like to see you win, but there is not a chance in the world. have you looked at him and looked at yourself in the mirror. >> brian: i saw myself on "saturday night live," i know i don't have a chance.

>> exactly. >> brian: thank you. chris, let's talk about something less controversial. >> wait a minute, i got to put my wallet where it belongs. >> brian: how much money do you have in there? >> i don't know. >> brian: let's take a look. >> no, we're not going to do that. >> brian: then i'm not going to ask awe question. >> okay. there we go. >> gretchen: while you have a stalemate, let me break in to get your reaction to those jobless numbers that just came out. what does it mean for the president? it's down. >> yeah. eric is right, it's certainly not good news. it's not as bad as it could be. it doesn't indicate we're going back into a recession. the estimates have been about 100,000 jobs going to be created. it's 80,000. so it doesn't quite reach that. and the question as to why the unemployment rate went down that, could be a factor of people not looking or there are all kinds of statical reasons, but 80,000 jobs is not going to feed the bulldog and not lower the unemployment rate and again,

the federal reserve this week changed its estimate. now they're saying 8 1/2 to 8.7% when you see this kind of .1% tick down, that looks like we're going to be over 8 1/2% a year from now. so it's not terrible news. but it certainly isn't good news either. >> eric: it looks like 100,000 jobs were actually created in the private sector. so the average hourly wages are going up. some good nuggets to report. all those bites you see of greek protest, that is probably the reason why we're not seeing more jobs created. >> brian: former speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, coming forward talking about her record and the president's record. chris, i want you to listen to this and say if you think this helps the democratic cause. >> one day, you have the recovery act in the house and a few weeks it was in the senate.

saving our creating millions of jobs, here we are over 300 days, no such legislation. president obama with a jobs creator from day one. i'll tell you this, if president obama and congressional democrats had not acted, we would be 15% unemployment. >> gretchen: your reaction, chris? >> well, there are a couple of points to it. first of all, when she says that the house has done nothing, the house has passed over a dozen bills that affect the economy, that affect jobs and they're tied up in the senate. the democratic controlled senate. so that certainly isn't accurate. you know, would the unemployment number be higher? one can make that argument. if you throw a trillion dollars at the economy, it's got to create a few jobs. but the idea that you're going to run in 2012 on it could have been worse, i think that's probably not a great bumper sticker. and the president wasn't elected and the democrats weren't elected in 2008 on the slogan,

we'll keep it from being even worse. they were elected to fix it and they clearly hasn't done that. >> eric: where did she come up with 15%? >> you could pick any number. it's a good round number. it gets your attention. >> gretchen: that's why she's a politician. 'cause they know how to do that stuff. let's talk about karl rove. he was on the curvy couch a little earlier on our show and he has written an op ed saying that he believes that the republicans now, the people who want to vote for republicans, are satisfied with the gop field. let's take a listen. >> nearly two-thirds of republicans are enthusiastic about their field, up from 40 some odd percent in the early summer. by comparison in 1991, remember that? the democrats only, 18% were enthusiastic about their ticket and yet bill clinton went on to win the presidency. first of all, i'm not sure it's a particularly effective measure, but the republicans are enthusiastic about their field. >> gretchen: the latest poll now, the rasmussen poll that polls people on wednesday after

the herman cain accusations came out, he's still on top, 26%, romney, 23. gingrich continues to make a move. now third at 14%. thoughts? >> listen, i'm going to say up front, karl rove has forgotten more about politics than i'll ever know. but i'm not as convinced as he is that republicans are so enthused about this field. i mean, yes, the polls indicate that they're growing enthusiasm, but i don't think to some degree that's a fact that they realize ronald reagan isn't coming in the door and he's not going to run. they know that christie isn't running, paul ryan isn't, all the people that there was talk about them running but not. mitch daniels. so i think they've accommodated themselves to the fact this is the field and we'll have to live with it. i'm not convinced that people are thrilled about this field, but they're going to get behind somebody and i'm really quite surprised that cain has

withstood the barrage. some of it fair, some of it not fair, as he has. and it shows that -- i don't know how much of it is support for him and how much of it is just that -- i think the one thing we can not overstate is how much revulsion there is with washington, with career politicians, with the establishment and herman cain sums that up better than anybody else. >> gretchen: we'll be watching your show this weekend because congressman ron paul, who is from texas and presidential candidate, he will be your guest. have a great weekend. >> we'll be all over the supercommittee and these unemployment numbers and herman cain and his troubles and how he seems to be surviving through them. thank you. >> eric: i'll take kilmeade. >> brian: what do you mean? >> eric: in the race. >> brian: let me see your wallet. >> eric: i got my wallet. >> brian: all talk. the fate of michael jackson's doctor now in the hands of the jury. deliberations in dr. conrad

murray's manslaughter trial getting underway this morning. >> for michael's children, this case will go on forever because they do not have a father. they do not have a father because of the actions of conrad murray. >> what they're really asking you to do is to convict dr. murray for the actions of michael jackson. >> brian: if convictedded, he could get four years in prison and lose his medical license. >> eric: you bailed them out. now they're back for more. the folks at government-run mortgage giant freddie mac, 6 million bucks in the hole and according to them, it's the american people's fault. apparently too many refinanced. senator john mccain says that's not their only problem. >> if fannie and freddie mac are synonymous with mismanagement waste, outright corruption and fraud and they're federal regulator has the audacity to

approve $12 million in executive bonuses to people who make $900,000 per year. >> eric: mccain is calling for the resignation of the man who approved the bonuses, edward demarco. >> gretchen: this might look like a scene from a movie, but it's real. police footage from brazil. federal agents armed with assault rifles are -- that's a small plane they're chasing down a dirt runway. the cops ramming their car eventually into the wing of the plane. spinning it around to keep it all from taking off. why? because busted inside the plane, five suspected drug smugglers. that's one way to take them down. it could be a movie. >> brian: great idea. brazil seems kind of crazy. 18 minutes before the top of the hour. with the cost of college rising, is a degree really worth all that? our next guest says most students are getting ripped off. but first, a look at what's coming up this weekend, four hours a day of fun. >> that's right. it's quite the marathon.

>> gretchen: americans now owe more in student loans than they do in credit card debt. our next guest says people upset

over their student debt are pointing fingers in the wrong direction. bill is a former speech writer for president george w. bush and he's my guest. good morning to you. >> how are you doing? >> gretchen: what do you mean by that analysis? >> i was look for example occupy wall street and as you know, i'm a former bush person and a "wall street journal" person. i'm probably considered an enemy of the people down there. but i think they have a point about their student loans. they're all complaining about their -- that their loans are too high. it's not the amount. it's the value they got for it. many went to these schools and got worthless degrees. >> gretchen: what you have found out and what you write in your on ed is that you actually believe public institutions do a better job of teaching the core curriculum than some of the way more expensive private universities? >> that's a finding of a group called the american council of trustees and alumni. they have a web site and they rated these schools by whether they demand a core curriculum of rigorous core course for people. and that's how they rated it and

found the public universities did better. the military academy did better. and some of the historically black colleges did better. >> gretchen: allall right. one of the other things you point to is that more and more we offer subsidies from the government, the higher tuition goes up. >> right. that's a separate argument. that's also something occupy wall street might look at. the schools just eat the financial aid, the more the federal government piles money on to it, the schools eat it and pass on the cost and the loans go up. so it's kind of this vicious circle. i think they're blaming the wrong people. they're down on wall street. they should be looking at what their schools are giving them for the degree. look, it's the same as new york city. the high school degree. they found a diapply mow ma -- diploma, 25% are not getting -- $28,000 is the average debt load for a private school graduate. it's worth it if you got a good degree. >> gretchen: it's the degree that matters. when you go out to get a job, they're looking for a degree. >> i think it's actually

excellence. like we see the degree and we mean engineer something is a degree or something. but i think a good liberal arts is also good. but sciences generally have a higher requirement all around and liberal arts is pablum in a lot of places. i think they are getting ripped off, but blaming the wrong people. >> gretchen: some people believe the new doesn't loan is the new bubble in our country. thanks so much. >> thank you. >> gretchen: when we come back, chris wallace is betting against him. does brian stand a chance against mario lopez in a foot race? you're about to find out. first, let's check in with hemmer for what's on at the top of the hour. i know you don't want to be down there. >> i saw lopez sweating. i think kilmeade has gotten into his head. kardashian free zone today. more on the news breaking on the economy. it is all about jobs, people. a subpoena heading for the president's desk. what herbalife reveal about solyndra. jon huntsman is going after mitt romney.
