>> good morning, everyone, it's sunday, december 18th, i'm alisyn camerota. we start with a fox news alert. it's a historic morning. the last convoy of u.s. troops has left iraq marking the official end of the war, we are in the field for you coming up. >> clayton: and bruised from battle. >> dave: why front runner newt gingrich saying the fighting is taking its toll and plus two big endorsement for mitt romney this morning and the campaign trail highlights as we tick closer to the big iowa caucuses just over two weeks away. >> and tim tebow gets a visit from the man above. >> tim, tim, i love you. man, i love you, too.

just take it down a notch, will you, buddy? >> "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ >> it's saturday-- it's sunday, the big day for tim tebow as he faces off with tom brady and the patriots. it's a huge day. and other things going on. >> clayton: my name is clayton morris, that's alisyn camerota and dave briggs. i'm surprised that jesus wears an american eagle sweatshirt. >> dave: gym socks. >> clayton: we'll show you. >> alisyn: we will get to that, but it's a momentous morning and glad you're with us early because history is being made. the final u.s. soldiers at sunrise this morning, in iraq, rolled across the border into kuwait and the war is officially over today.

>> dave: and so much is yet unknown, right? i mean, we can focus on some of the numbers, the death toll, the costs, but this is all unknown, and that's why we have to focus on the numbers, 4,474 troops, american troops killed there, 800 billion dollars was the cost of that war, but again, guys, how much is unknown at this point. can they maintain the peace? can al-maliki get together enough of a military structure to keep the peace there? >> yeah, i mean, it's so hard to talk about history as it's happening, as it's impossible, frankly. so who knows what the pre percussion is will be of the past nine years and depends what side you're on, whether or not the you think it's worth it. >> clayton: geraldo has more. >> after all these long years, after all this cost, this blood and treasure that we have shed in this desert, it's really been such a pleasure and an honor. it is less a sentiment of victory, greg, than it is a

sense i think of relief. the young troopers i was with in the armored m-wrap, those cumbersome vehicles that saved some lives in the face of all the ied's and booby traps and suicide bombers and everybody else, everything else, we're elited that they're going to be home for christmas. how it ended, i think ambiguously. we thought we would be leaving some troops in country, and that's not the case, they would not agree to support this agreement to give our soldiers and marines immunity from criminal prosecution, so, president obama pulled the plug, as you know, october 21st, out by the 31st, but they're out today. thr they're early and as you mentioned absolutely elated about going home for christmas. a bittersweet moment. i wish we could say that iraq was a stable democracy, but they have the chance, they have the chance, and fought

with american blood and american money, but they have the chance now to make something of themselves. >> let's put up the graphic, because that's, if you look back to nine years of this war and you look at the amount of money, the 800 billion dollars spent. one thing missing from this is the 100,000 iraqis killed in this war as well as the american death there and of course, many of the lives, you know, the americans were wounded there, 32,000 americans are living with disabilities now as a result of this war, an immense toll. the bloodiest since the vietnam war. >> i guess we focus on the positive if these troops are going to be home for the holidays and they're thrilled at that and hope like we do that all the sacrifice was indeed worth it. >> let's talk about what's happening at home because there's big announcements happening. if you're mitt romney and you're happy because you've got two big endorsements that should help new iowa, first, from the des moines register and it talks about why they--

this time around, they didn't last time in 2008, endorse mitt romney, but say that he has changed, he's matured as a candidate and says what has impressed them is his sobriety, his wisdom and judgment. ill he' read it for you. those quality helped the former massachusetts government stand out. >> that's not the only endorsement he's gotten, he also got bob dole. surprising that bob dole came out on the same day and says i've run for president myself and twice i had the deep honor of finishing first in the iowa caucuses and friends in the state and some people call me the president of iowa when i say that mitt romney is the kind of man i should support, i know whereof i speak. the thing at that stood out to me about the des moines register endorsement was the slam that the des moines register took against the other candidates. >> dave: absolutely. >> clayton: notably newt gingrich. >> dave: i would totally agree with that. and they all have the sense that we look back at new

hampshire and we've got the new hampshire leader and think that mitt romney is a slam-dunk and they're slamming him and iowa far more socially conservative, you can he see them choosing michele bachmann or rick santorum, they slam newt gingrich. and interesting for romney. >> alisyn: it's interesting because they say we basically owe you transparency, we owe awe window into our thought processes and how we come to mitt romney and they had the sit-down interviews with the candidates and it's interesting the light they shed on michele bachmann, newt gingrich. >> clayton: ron paul. >> alisyn: why they didn't endorse them. >> clayton: listen to this. they said sitting down with speak are newt gingrich, the board called him an undisciplined partisan who would alienate and not unite and if he reverts to mean spirited attacks as house speaker. pretty harsh criticism of him and ron paul and others on the

ticket. >> dave: that may be bigger than the endorsement of mitt romney and acknowledging the attacks are beginning to take a toll and certainly, he's being focused by his rivals and they are picking on the freddie mac money, on the lobbying that they feel he did, though he says he didn't do it and he admits it's taking its toll. listen. >> would he have he' decide that had we would, for now to the caucus, on a regular basis make available to anybody in iowa who wants to ask a question so that we can tell the truth and we can systematically allow you to understand the facts, rather than the various political attacks and political charges. i've tried very hard to campaign on a positive basis. >> alisyn: by the way, that was a phone call from newt gingrich to his supporters in iowa where he went on to say that the -- there's been extraordinary negativity of this campaign and by the way, the attack ads, the anti-begin

grinch ads that hit the airwaves in iowa have been on an 8-1 percentage over the supportive ads of gingrich because a romney ally has been paying for all of these anti-gingrich ads, so they've been inundated. >> and to be on top. >> they've been able to distance themselves from it. >> this is some affiliate group that's able to put out the ads, it's not romney, but sir gatz. >> and mike huckabee laid that out you won't hear romney say a thing at rallies or stages at the debates the damage will be done through the side door and certainly as. >> clayton: unless you're ron paul in which case you go on national television. go onto the jay leno show this week and salalam michele bachmann. he was asked about a number of candidates and saying this. now there is he' back and forth, take a listen. >> she doesn't like muslims, she hates muslims. >> oh. >> she wants to go get them. >> she wants to go get them,

michele bachmann was asked about that on the campaign trail and said she wasn't familiar with it, she said that's ridiculous, i don't hate muslims. >> alisyn: i think he's basing that what she said in the debate how he they should handle iran and downed drone and go over and take more aggressive action against iran. i think that was-- >> did you get the sense he was playing to the late night situation he was in and trying to make some sort of joke? i mean, that's something you don't often lob at an opponent. >> alisyn: that seems like a quip, but an outrageous one and she's now responded to that. >> i never have said anything that fool ush. what i believe is that i love the american people and i love this country and i want this country to be safe, sovereign and free he. the real hate you hear is coming from the president of iran, hates jews and israel

and he hates the american people and so do the mullahs in iran have expressly stated that it is their goal to kill jews in israel and also to kill americans. >> kind of took it in that direction and spinning away from that and focusing more on ahmadnejad. >> alisyn: that was an outrageous thing that ron paul said, she could have said, that's absurd. >> she's going on a 99 county bus tour. >> dave: sports reference, actually. >> clayton: and a 99 county bus tour and doesn't have time to wait. popping in for the meet and greets and handlers say she's got to go and pulling them out and some of her supporters aren't too happy and here she is in a coffee shop and michele bachmann pulled aside and i don't like that, she was here for five minutes and. >> one supporter left happy, she signed someone's forehead in iowa, no joke.

>> alisyn: and you're going to walk around with ink from michele bachmann. >> clayton: and let's see in peter doocy has one on his forehead. the senate voting to extend the payroll taxes that expire on new years day, what happens when it reaches the house tomorrow. >> dave: that's a big question, peter doocy, it doesn't look good once it hits the house? >> it's interesting because the senate sure didn't have much trouble passing this bill with the payroll tax cut extension in it, it got through, 89-10. there was a lot a bipartisan support and the president said this. >> i'm he very please today see the work the senate has done. while the agreement is for two months, it is my expectation, in fact, it would be inexcusable for congress not to further extend this middle class tax cut for the rest of the year. >> and this bill includes provisions supporting the keystone pipeline's

construction. something the president not only left out of his remark there, but that many democrats think he'll be able to basically rescind and hope he does. as for republicans, some in the senate think the two month long extension is actually too short. >> 60 days from now, more and more americans will realize this is just a gimmick, that it's pushing social security further in the red and that seniors should remind their legislators that social security is not a welfare program, it's a requirement security program and it should run off the contributions of its workers, it shouldn't depend on its financial strength on downgraded government debt. >> we're going to hear more from senator kirk later on in this show. republicans in the house, the chamber that still actually has a vote on this. sound angry about the bill that passed the senate. and speaker boehner telling members, the rank and file that since keystone got in they should be happy and move on, but a lot of g.o.p.

members wanted a 12 month extension, so this version falls ten months short on that. if my math is correct. and a source on that conference all also tells us that the general mood among the g.o.p. members was one of supporting the leadership, if they choose to pursue an alternative measure. and we're going to hear interest speaker boehner later on this morning and waiting to hear if he hints at any-- >> he wants to check the math a and. >> when does the president go on vacation, if the house doesn't come back, he may never get to hawaii. >> clayton: mechanical signing with the robotic arm. >> alisyn: a lot more news to tell you about. because occupy wall street protesters once again clashed with new york city police. listen to this. more than 50 people were reportedly arrested after trying to climb over a chain

link fence, around a church parking lot where they apparently wanted to build a new campground and some protesters were turned away again, police got involved and you see the aftermath. tragedy after the coast of russia, at least four people are killed and another 49 are missing after an oil rig overturned and sank in the sea of okhot is tsk. 14 people said to be rescued and doing okay. stormy conditions are believed to be the cause this have accident. and police are investigating the possible abduction after 20-year-old girl from maine. she was last seen sleeping in her bed 10 p.m. friday night and wearing green pajamas and

poka dots. take a look at this from the stadium in dallas, texas, a run away cart, oh, my gosh, plows over a bunch of people after a championship game. one man taken to the hospital with a leg injury and another was hurt, but not seriously. someone finally jumped on the electric cart and stopped it. those are your headlines. >> hate when that happens. >> check with rick reichmuth. i felt he was controlling with it his aye phone. >> that's scary. >> another dry day across the east, the coldest all winter, bundle up as you're heading out this morning. blizzard watches pushing for parts of the plains, that's for, i'll show you that and some severe weather threats across texas as well. and the setup today, not looking that bad. yesterday was pretty calm and

a little snow across the great lakes and we'll see that again. and the counter clock wise disturbance about to change everything. a lot of people possibly travelling this week for christmas. the setup on the radar, not looking like frp right now. but throughout the day today. in across arizona and new mexico and once it gets into mu new york stock exchange and texas that it becomes a big storm for us, monday into tuesday morning and that's right where we've got blizzard watches that have been posted and where we've seen that red, could see snowfall totals around 18 inches in the panhandle of texas and oklahoma and parts of new mexico and kansas and a bulls eye of heavy snow and winds maybe around 40 miles per hour gusting and maybe staying at that rate for a number of hours and that's why we've got the blizzard watches posted. a rough go for tomorrow. here is the high temperatures today and look pretty good again. very, very warm, temps around average, around 20 degrees above where you typically should be this time of year

and the bottom drops out and we see the cold in places like new mexico, guys. >> thanks so much, rick. and oh, gentlemen, thank you. and occupy wall street update because something big is happening this week. as you know, occupy wall street has railed against the bankers and the 1% that haven't been fair to the 99%, the law of unintended consequences seems to be taking hold in the county park in lower manhattan and there was a cafe, a little cafe that employed 100 people, that just opened in june and because of all the protests this week, it will be closing. >> yeah, not anymore, it's not going to be open milk street cafe, mark epstein told the news it's sad. and he's going to have to close this place now because of all the occupy wall street folks and basically no business as a result of it. 23,000 square foot restaurant that he had and's going to

have to layoff 2 is workers and he already had to layoff 21 workers and the rest of them now are going to be closed, waiters, waitresses, this is not the 1%. >> right, this is the quintessential american small business, the one you should be rooting for. barricades essentially shut them down and they had the barricades in front of the restaurant for what, going on three months now, i guess they were. and no choice, but to layoff all the employees, and shut down, i mean, and here they are honored as part of this time magazine person of the year, the protester. now, it's only in part because a lot of that was the arab spring, but i wonder, can they be sued? can you sue this movement? >> who do you sue? >> it's the leader, and the money-- >> and the city claimed-- >> unfortunately, barricades. how many people are out of work as a result. >> 100 people now collecting unemployment, and i don't know if you can-- i don't know how you would draw the direct connection, september that he said he was getting business and was working until the protesters

came to zuccotti park. >> clayton: what about the backers, funneling money into that and bank account. $500,000 donations and now 100 people out of work. >> dave: let's talk about the big event today. tim tebow, versus tom brady, patriots and broncos, four o'clock today. >> clayton: 4 p.m. >> dave: on saturday night, tim tebow made an appearance or his character made an appearance on "saturday night live" when he met jesus, watch. >> and i think the most important in my life, my lord and savior jesus christ, i couldn't do this without him. thank you, jesus. (laughter) >> hi, everybody. >> i pray to you before every game. >> yeah, i know, i know, i appreciate that, something else you should do before the game do you need the play book, do you read that? >> the holy bible is my play book. >> you need to read the play

book, seriously, i'm doing the work here, i love you. >> i lover you, too. >> take it down a notch. >> whatever you command. >> it's not a command. >> jesus telling him to take it down a notch. >> and the patriots favored by what, nine points. >> dave: and jesus referred to coach bill belichick as aaah and tom brady as the nephew of god. >> i saw didn't bill belichick say that tim tebow was one of the greatest quarterbacks, talents in the league. >> dave: he said the skill set is unique. >> clayton: is that a slam somehow at tom brady. >> dave: listen, bill belichick would build you into the best quarterback if he was playing you, he does that with everyone. is anyone angry to see jesus christ portrayed on "saturday night live," and i wonder if anybody offended by that.

is jesus funny. >> alisyn: not many people saw it, the last skit of the night. >> dave: because they knew people were waiting for that. >> clayton: the guy playing tebow. he looked like he had the low flow shower head thing going on. let's move the show along a little bit, shall we? coming up on show the water tower has been a fixture in a tennessee community for 15 years and now it's the center of a legal fight thanks to the cross that is sitting on top of it. one resident is furious about it and ready to fight back. he'll be here live on the show. >> alisyn: parents playing a joke on their own kids giving them some early-- >> not cool. >> alisyn: crappy presents. >> and it's-- >> i don't like this! >> giving him a-- jimmy kimmel strikes again and is it hilarious and too cruel?

beard grow out and get ugly and this show and the film that just came out this weekend, are the result of that. >> dave: and you're use today playing clean cut character and we in the audience are used to the reality and apologies and garbage out there. this is nice to he see something with content to it, with some history to it and some roles and things you can truly sink your teeth into, right. >> thank you. >> dave: everything you see out there with-- >> i mean, i, i'm somebody who thinks that there is he' more, there's more to be made of somebody's weaknesses than their strengths and when you get type cast as the good looking guy or the leading man or, there tend not to be a whole lot of weaknesses, and so i just wanted a chance to play some different people for a while. >> dave: you get entertained, but this is about history, ultimately, correct. how much history will you get watching hell on wheels. >> quite a bit. the frame work, itself is historically accurate, about

the construction of the construction railroad after lincoln and death and they got behind it necessary in order to unify the country and it follows that the construction, which itself was, you know, the town's name is hell on wheels and that reflects the fact that it was really just a group of gambling calls and dens and whorehouses. >> dave: and does it throw back to the westerns? >> it's, it's-- well, it definitely has the favor of old westerns and pays homage to the old winners, but a frame work never been used before and we get to cover a lot of the graft and corruption of the business of making progress, in quotes. >> dave: you also didn't take the easy road for a new independent film that's out this weekend. it's in new york and l.a. and it's called "cook county", again not an easy role, tell us about "cook county".

>> yeah, it's a film about a family in east texas that's been pushed to the brink because of this epidemic we all meth amphetamine. while the dressing of it is yes, it's about meth cooks in east texas it's also about the imagination of these men who want to think of themselves as outlaws orvil lance, but really they're just a family that's struggling and there's really warm core, there's a warm heart at the center of this movie. >> dave: is it humanizing or kind after cautionary tale? >> i think it's humanizing, again, because what the movie points out is the frailties and weaknesses of people who would like to think in their fantasy lives that they're strong, but they're really not. >> dave: all right. well, that documentary, that independent film, rather "cook county" out in new york and los angeles and hell on wheels, eight o'clock sunday night, don't miss it tonight.

get history and it's not a reality show. thank you for being here, anson mount, a good looking guy, right, alisyn. >> alisyn: i'm afraid so. >> clayton: and on the attack for newt gingrich. >> the originator of earmarks back in the '90s. if there was a granddaddy of earmarks, he would be it. >> the fighting words knock him off the top spot? an atheist on the attack in a small tennessee town and want the cross on the water tower gone. residents aren't giving up with a fight. we'll hear from the man who is battling back. swollen joints, i've been in your shoes. one day i'm on top of the world... the next i'm saying... i have this thing called psoriatic arthritis. i had some intense pain. it progressively got worse. my rheumatologist told me about enbrel. i'm surprised how quickly my symptoms have been managed. [ male announcer ] because enbrel suppresses your immune system,

it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been tated for heart faure, or if, while on enbr, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. get back to the things that matter most. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. [ male announcer ] enbrel. the #1 biologic medicine prescribed by rheumatologists.

>> this water tower you're looking at. well, there's been a cross on top of it. there's been a fixture in the tennessee community for about 15 years, but now, it's at the center after legal fight because an atheist group wants to take that down. and whiteville residents roger austin is fighting back against the group and joins us now. good morning, roger. >> good morning. >> roger, the atheist group they're called the freedom from religious foundation, they don't like this because they say that that is public property. let me read to you their statement. they say it's unlawful for whiteville to display a

patently religious symbol such as a christian cross on public property. the cross creates the perception of government endorsement of christianity. what's your response to them? >> well, the cross was paid for by private donation and where it's located has been a fixture for years there and it's, it's not hurting anyone. true enough it may be public property and you know, that's, that's an issue i guess the court's going to decide is whether it's allowable or not. >> alisyn: you say it's not hurting anyone. do you think it's helping people? i mean, why is this so important to you to see the cross on the water tower? >> well, you know, we've got our convictions that we believe in, as far as what the lord jesus christ died for us to, to save us from our sins and all and that's a daily

reminder, as we enter or leave town we can look up and see that and we've got the representation there to reflect on from day-to-day. >> alisyn: i'm sure that you don't want your town of whiteville to be embroiled in this lengthy and expensive lawsuit trying to fight this. is there any other solution, perhaps moving that cross somewhere else that could resolve this problem? >> yeah, there's a number of citizens that do own property on the highway that have offered their property to be able to move it to if that, if that's what it comes to and that way it will still be viewed by the public on a daily basis and that should take care of the problem if it comes to that. we'd like to see it stay where it's at. >> alisyn: there you go, it's nice you have a backup plan in the event they press on if the lawsuit if it comes to that.

>> at least you have a contingency plan and great that you're being flexible enough to do that. so, thanks for the update and keep us posted what happens there in whiteville. >> thank you. >> alisyn: thank you. and it's a g.o.p. worry, worried of making mitt romney the nominee because of his stance on immigration? why some say he just cannot win the hispanic vote. plus, love and marriage used to go to together, but new research shows that barely half of americans are married today. why this dramatic drop? we're going to take a closer look. daddy, come in the water!

>> good morning, everyone, sunday, december 18th. i'm alisyn camerota, a fox news alert. u.s. troops are officially out of iraq. the historic moment as they men and women leave the country, marking the end of the war. he's not the front runner in most polls, but this morning, two big endorsements from mitt romney. will they help push past the top dog newt gingrich? many women say i don't, rather than i do. why new nbers show marriage

is apparently not so trendy anymore. "fox & friends" is trendy and hour two starts right now. ♪ >> good morning, everybody. thanks so much for joining us early. and it is a historic day. and met this day at sunrise this morning, the final soldiers rolled out of iraq and they said, you know, what started with shock and awe ended sort of uneventfully and quietly and you see some soldiers there on the side of the road waving, but that's it. >> just a few thousand troops left as they made their way into kuwait and they're home for the holidays, and we thank them for their sacrifice and it's interesting, reflecting on all that we've lost and the the cost of this war. >> yeah, so, we put some numbers together for you to paint a picture of what this has cost.

the number of troops, the length of time they spent there, 3,210 days. almost 4500 american deaths and wounded, 32,000 americans. >> alisyn: just a huge number. >> clayton: look at this huge number, iraqi deaths, 125,000. and the cost, nearly a trillion dollars at 800 billion dollars the cost of this war. >> alisyn: look, we talked about this last hour. it's hard to know, hard to talk about history, as it's happening. you know, that that will be determined 100 years from now, but when you look at the cost and the past nine years, was it worth it? that's the question that everyone is asking themselves and it's unknowable, actually, because it's impossible to know the direction iraq will go, if it heads towards democracy and maybe you could make the point it's worth it, saddam hussein was gone. >> dave: we can say thousands of lives were probably saved by hussein. and we don't know about

al-maliki, but geraldo was in kuwait for the end of the iraq war and he reflected on all the sacrifice. >> geraldo: after all these long years, after all this cost, this blood and treasure at that we have shed in this desert, it is really been such a pleasure and an honor, it's less a sentiment of victory, greg than a sense i think of relief. the young troopers i was with in the armored m-wrap, those cumbersome vehicles that save so many lives in the face of all of the ied's, the booby traps and suicide bombers and everything else, were elated that they're going to be home for christmas. how it ended, i think, ambiguously. we thought we'd leaving some troops in country and they would not agree with the status of forces agreement to give our soldiers and marines immunity from criminal prosecution and so, president

obama pulled the plug, as you know, october 21st. and out by the 31st, but they're out today. they are early, and as you mentioned, they are absolutely elated about going home for christmas. a bittersweet moment. i wish we could say that iraq was a stable democracy, but they have the chance, they have the chance, bought with american blood and american money, but they have the chance now to make something of themselves. >> when you put it in perspective one of the longest wars in american history and you think of many the soldiers there, men and women. multiple tours of duty and you have to wonder, how did this resonate with them on thoughts of this war ending? we caught up with a few of them to hear their thoughts. >> and been here for a while and-- >> i felt like we had a really good mission out here. >> and it's been good, enjoyed working with the iraqi counterparts and help us strengthen the national

security and we're just going to look forward going home and being with our families for christmas. >> we'll know in the few years to come whether it was worth it and peace can happen. >> and coming up iowa, two big endorsements, des moines register, the largest paper in iowa stepping up and standing by romney for sobriety, wisdom, ali. >> alisyn: why they think those qualities can win. and make him stand out as the most qualified republican candidate and talked about the meetings that they had with the other candidates that didn't impress them as much as what they had he' heard from mitt romney and we should say that the des moines doesn't have a long track record of picking winners, by the way and enforce. >> candidates. >> dave: noert does the state

of iowa. >> alisyn: 2008 they supported hillary clinton and john mccain. >> clayton: he went on to be the nominee. >> alisyn: but in 2004, they supported john edwards. >> clayton: right. >> alisyn: it's good news, if you're mitt romney, you're thinking good news. >> clayton: and as as people are opening up the des moines register, they'll see criticism of newt gingrich in the endorsement, one of which saying they think he's an undisciplined partisan who would alienate not unite. . >> dave: that's not the only good news for mitt romney. bob dole endorses mitt romney. i've run for president myself. and twice had the deep honor of finishing first in the iowa

caucuses. i have many friends in the state, some of them have even called me president of iowa. and why these two particularly big? i think the polls we told you two-thirds of iowa admit they're open to changing their minds. if you wake up this morning and read your biggest newspaper is supporting that mitt romney might take a second look. >> certainly, bob dole. he is mayor, the president of iowa. >> dave: if that region he's big, in iowa and kansas. >> clayton: if two-thirds of the fox are undecided there a lot of the ads are probably carrying weight with them in iowa, which are blanketed across the state and the stump speeches that the candidates are doing, and including on the local newscast. ripping newt gingrich and ron paul yesterday calling newt gingrich the granddaddy of ear marks. take a listen. >> i would suggest that ear marks, it's a plague, it's a

plague on congress and two of my opponents that i highly respect, newt gingrich and dr. ron paul, but they, i mean, newt was the originator of earmarks back in the '90s. i mean, if there was a granddaddy of earmarks, he would be it. >> clayton: he criticized ron paul supporting pet projects like a bike track and decorative street lights in his district. >> alisyn: that's interesting. i think at that came up in the debate. ron paul railed against too much big government, cut back on the side of government, i think it's the debate he was asked, listen, why do you take so much money from the federal government and earmarks and pet projects and he basically said, those are the rules right now. i'd be foolish not to because the federal government would misuse the funds if i didn't take it for my hodistrict.

that's showing both sides. >> dave: your wallet this year, are you going to get the tax break? the senate approving two month extension of the tax break. and it's far from a done deal. >> clayton: it seems like a total mess. peter doocy following developments in washington. what's going on? we thought it was wrapped up, peter. >> reporter: it's interesting, clayton. the white house made big concessions and so did democrats to get this bill through the senate and dropped the desire for the million area sur tax and included support for the keystone and the president, sound, please? >> i'm pleased to see the work the senate has done and while the agreement is for two months, it is my expectation, in fact, it would be inexcusable for congress not to further extend this middle class tax cut for the rest of the year. >> and senator michigan

mcconnell republican was happy, too, and said since the president compromised and democrats, he would comen clear several of the president's executive and traditional nominees that he previously held up, but not all republicans are pleased with this bill and some think that two months is too short. >> i think 60 days from now, more and more americans will realize this is just a gimmick, that it's pushing social security further into the red and that seniors should remind their legislators that social security is not a welfare program. it's a retirement security program and it should run off the contributions of its workers, it shouldn't depend on its financial strengths on downgraded government debt. >> reporter: now this bill is off to the house and speaker boehner is telling rank and file members republicans are getting a good doolittle and since keystone pipeline is in the deal they should be happy. many are not. they wanted 12 months not two

months. and tsays the mood of the membership is angry and if ne pursue an alternative. just because the senate passed this and president steams to like it doesn't mean it will pass the house. >> alisyn: other, brother, can washington get it together? more in the next hit. >> more in the nine o'clock hour on what's next. >> alisyn: let's get to your headlines and tell you about occupy wall street update. protesters clashing once again with new york city police. more than 50 people were reportedly arrested after trying to climb over a chain link fence around a church parking lot. and that's apparently where they want today build a new campground and you can see what happens next. and police in maine are searching for a missing toddler, that they believe may have been abducted. the and reynold's father says the 20 month old was seen

bad about not sending 15 christmas cards. >> what a great kid. >> another cold and dry day across the east, but coldest we've seen so far this year, so cold morning, cold day today and across the parts of the west we have blizzard watches posted that means for tomorrow we'll be dealing with a blizzard and severe threat as well across texas and the temperatures, actually, the wind chill as you're waking up this morning feels like minus two in burlington, eight in boston, 16 in new york so this is the coldest year we've had. not that much in the way of precipitation, and lake effect snow and central part of the country you're looking fine and across the west, that this is a storm, this rotation, counter clock-wise rotation is the the upper level disturbance going to slowly move off towards the east today and watch what the future cast does. looking fine kind of right now and builds across arizona across the day today. tonight into tomorrow, moves across parts of new mexico and explodes by the time we get to

monday and tuesday across the panhandle of texas and oklahoma, blizzard watches posted and a lot of people travelling this week, guys, could cause big problems across the southern plains this week. >> what about by christmas, the east coast, it means rain on wednesday and this storm will not be a snow maker, people hoping for snow, but they're not going to get it. >> thanks, rick. >> will his stance on immigration keep him from being the nominee. >> some say he can't win the crucial vote. >> and remember jack frost? it's among the worst of the worst in the new list of horrible christmas movies. we've got the list. accepted us your pick at ff weekend on twitter, e-mail friends@fox news, back in a minute. the best approach to food is tkeep it whole for better nutrition. that's what they do with great grains cereal. they steam and bake the actual whole grain while the otr guy's flake is more processed.

mork. presidential hopeful mitt romney roughlying feathers with hard line stance on immigration. >> so you say to people who are here illegally today. air not going to work here, ultimately go home and apply for permanent residencesy or citizenship. you have to get to the back of the line. because there are millions who want to come here legally and i want those to come here legally. >> will that cost him the hispanic vote and could cost him the nomination himself. a former speech writer for former president george w. bush. how are you. >> doing well. >> alisyn: here are one of the things that have romney supporters worried in terms of the vote. the leading vote. leadership fund say they're so upset with romney's stance on i immigration, they might hold an endorsement and curtail their plans, extensive plan for voter contact in all of those western states, and colorado, nevada, new mexico, how badly would that hurt him?

>> it would hurt him and i don't think that's going to happen. i think that mitt romney is not going to have trouble attracting voters, hispanic voters because i'll predict he's going to pick marco rubio he helps in florida, the tea party, and i think a romney-rubio ticket is going to get a lot of hispanic voters. >> hasn't rubio said he has no interest in such a thing. >> i think if asked, he will, he will serve his country, i would be very surprised if he turned it down and surprised if romney didn't offer it. but second of all, he's going to be-- he's not running in a vacuum. he's running against barack obama and you know, barack obama's support among hispanics plummeted 22% since he took office for the reasons that his support plummeted in the rest of the country. if you're a hispanic entrepreneur killed by obamacare, overregulation and overtaxation you're not going to vote for barack obama. if you're a hispanic catholic or evangelical, concerned

about the sanctity of marriage and human life, you're not going to vote for barack obama, hispanics are not monolithic voters. >> clayton: among the hispanic voting block. 49%, and romney 28%. even though this was the point of the washington post piece, what about the g.o.p. in general, the trouble with the hispanic vote? karl rove has warned for a while this is going to be their biggest problem? >> well, look, if republicans don't win-- hispanics are the largest growing ethic group in this country and if republicans get in the 2020 election, if the republican nominee gets the same percentage of hispanic and white vote that george bush got in 2000, and john mccain in 2008 republicans are going it lose by 14 points and florida won't be a swing state. texas will be, it's important that we have, that the republicans are open to and welcoming to the hispanic vote. but the way do you that is what mitt romney is doing and you showed the clip of it.

he always makes clear that he is a supporter of legal immigration and i think the way you frame that, look we're the party of ronald reagan and believe in the shining city on the hall. that city has walls because we have enemies that want to hurt us, but the city that is a gate that's wide open to anyone who wants to come here and build a better life so he needs to have that balanced message. illegal immigration is, we have to oppose it because it's illegal, but we're also welcoming to legal immigration. >> alisyn: maybe you should be his speech writer that. was a compelling argument there, mark. >> i'm out of that business. >> alisyn: and also, a bold prediction about the rubio vice-president, we'll see what happens. >> we've got the videotape, there's no going back now. >> excellent. >> clayton: thanks, mark. >> alisyn: divorce rates are high and a huge drop in people getting married the at all. why are folks refusing to get hitched? we'll take a look at that next.

>> welcome back. love and marriage used to go to together, but new research by pew shows the rate of americans getting hitched has dropped dramaically. in 962, 70% of americans were married. and now only 51%. >> alisyn: a relationship expert and author having new husband by friday. that sounds like an interesting read. and great to see you, why have people soured on marriage? >> well, i think there's a lot of reasons, alisyn and dave. number one, a lot of them have grown up to see their own parents divorced and they've gotten gun shy. on top of that, let's face it, we've raised young adults in our country who feel like they're the center of the universe. we've praised everything they have he done, whether it was

worthy of praise or not and quite frankly we've raised a selfish group of people stant gratification society we live in and career driven and by the way, there's more women today in universities than young men, so, people are delaying getting married and choosing to live together and doing other things. >> dave: what this means depends on your perspective. to me this could be good news, more selective and taking time and less likely to end in divorce, right? >> no, the research indicates when you marry today, if you're the typical couple, stick a fork in you, you're done. it's interesting we put men on the moon in 1969 and yet, men and women still don't understand each other very well. you know, women communicate differently, they use three and a half times the number of words that menus. and when a woman says to her husband, honey, do you want to

stop at starbucks? she is not asking a question. (laughter) >> and now-- >> and here comes you're having a new husband by friday, women don't understand men and men don't understand women. what do you think the biggest conception is about men? >> well, men are so simple and i say in na book, think of your husband as a four-year-old, your husband wants to feel needed and wanted. if he feels needed and wanted, he's going to be like a puppy dog, a loyal puppy dog. you know, marriage is about serving each other and no one sat me down and said, hey, lehman when you marry, you're going to pick up vomit and diarrhea and go to wallgreens and buy a box of those little suckers and the word super doesn't mean jack didley, but i've done that in 44 years of

marriage and you have to service each other and look at society today, do we think about the other person, no too much about ourselves and some of the reasons that people i think are gun shy. >> dave: stand-up comedy and advice from the doctor. >> alisyn: to one person. >> dave: we made it beyond seven years with our spouses. >> alisyn: that's true. doctor, thanks so much, great to see you. >> you're welcome, thank you. >> dave: thanks, doc, merry christmas. don't mess with texas, thousands fighting to save a nativity in one town just in time for christmas, but why the battle in the first place? >> and single all the way. made the list of worst christmas movies ever. what came out at number one though? self-and plus, christmas one week away. men, we know-- up next, the best gift to make

still birthing them. >> i think that tea parties may have listened to the first debate where we discussed the speakers compensation from freddie mac. i think as tea partiers concentrate on that, wow, this isn't the guy that would represent our views. >> clayton: all right, our political panel is here. republican strategist and contributor angela mcglowan and former pollster for president clinton, doug schoen and social commentator. it's not the season of christmas, it seems in iowa, all the negative attacking. does it help perry to go on the attack. >> makes him look petty and to talk about ron paul in that way. what they need to do is talk about policy. mitt romney even though he's going after the speaker, he has people on the side running negative ads that really can't go back to mitt romney and that's the strategy you do, but actually insulting your opponent, it doesn't help you.

>> china, does it work? >> you know, for some reason, mitt romney has managed to remain the most consistent in this race, i think everybody has had front runner status, but i don't think anybody can argue romney has been-- and i think that perception actually helps him regardless of what he does right now. and as far as going negative, it's quite unfortunate because everybody is going to be chewing away at newt gingrich and mitt romney especially michele bachmann and sort of works it mitt romney's favor, i think. >> you know these polls all the time and hear from frank luntz, negative ads while being unfavoring to people, they work. are they working here? >> they do. what angela said, in a multi-candidate race what you try to do is have outside groups or ads you run, but are not clearly identified as your ads attacking your opponents so you can stay above the fray and with mitt romney now apparently getting back into the hunt, and with a number of his committees attacking the former front runner, newt

gingrich, that's the strategy he's pursuing. >> clayton: overnight an enforcement for the des moines register. >> and bob dole, i used to work with bob dole. >> clayton: the des moines register is one that everybody is talking about, and to your point, it seems to be what the he des moines 0 register, that he's a grownup candidate. do people pay attention to the endorsements? >> i think they can. i tell you, i think we have to be frank, it does a disservice the republican party to pitch newt gingrich, he's the only candidate in history to face ethics charges and pay a fine for t he's not going to be formidable in a general election so i think could republican party to see-- >> as for a newspaper endorsement, i don't think that's the end-all or be-all, everyone wants an endorsement. >> candidates are looking for

>> welcome back. topics this morning that we are talking about. president obama and his latest appearance we saw him on 60 minutes. saw him again with barbara walters. every time we turn around there is another interview

with to women on television. does he run the risk of overexposure? risk of overexposure? >> i think he does. the problem that people see is that he's on tv as campaigner in chief all the time. and when you look at the recently concluded, if it's concluded payroll tax deal you say, where was the president. where was the president on the bucket and debt ceiling. he's larger on legislative issues and policy and i'm a campaigner. all we've seen is republican candidates and debate and the because is he not just running general election. running against the impression we have seven people dominating the airways right now. this still is campaign. observed, i don't think the issue is whether or not he is being overexposed whether his accomplishments is being exposed enough. if he is going tox pose himself. needs to focus on the thing that 2.45 million americans have coverage of health care. >> that's a great point,

angela. is his message, as he is out there, is his message resonating with the american people and the voters, that's the most important question and that's the most important question, when he does all of these interviews. >> his message is not, from the standpoint that he keeps bashing republicans, trying to get right, he needs to stick more with policy, but everybody wants to see the did. i heard people say not him again. when you are the president and people don't want to hear from you, that means that you are overexposed. if he changes his tone and talks about policy and not make it about republicans, i think people will want to hear more from him. >> doug, when you worked for president clinton no one communicated policy better who could sin think size it down and explain it to people in a concise way. is president obama able to do that. >> is he still challenged in that regard. part of the region is he doesn't have a vision for the second term. he has some accomplishments. china variety. he hasn't told us where he wants to take america going forward. he has barbed the republicans

in the speech in kansas suggested a harsh populace tone. >> china, i will give you the final word. >> he has shown where he wants to take america and stated that change takes time. okay. strange moment is going to happen hear because i will agree with my counterparts here and perhaps he should brand his policy a little bit more and articulate that a bit more. if he needs help doing that he has my phone number. >> merry christmas to all of. >> you good seeing you. chris wallace sits down exclusive whether i mitt romney and he is here first to tell us how the former frontrunner plans to get back on top. we will talk to chris. don't miss that rabbi bashing tim tebow saying not even god is more poplar than football. did this cross the line? we report. you decide coming up. goes to work in seconds. nothing works faster.

historic day here. final convoy of american soldiers leaves iraq nearly 10 years after the war began. our own geraldo rivera joins us live on the ground. >> dave: mitt romney has some reasons to smile this morning. two to be exact. the president candidate getting big endorsements. will it be enough to give him a jump in the polls just two weeks out from iowa? >> clayton: one school taking the war on christmas to another level. wait until you hear what christmas tree they are banning from the classroom now. "fox & friends" hour three starts right now. captions by closed captioning services >> dave: good morning, everybody. thanks for being here on this sunday morning. we have an action-packed couple of hours, ducks, goats, sheep, a united states senator. steaks out in the hallway, how you can slice them up and gadgets. >> best gadgets for kids

coming up including an inflatable shark that you can control and it scared the heck out of everyone in the hallway. >> dave: my kids love it. >> alisyn: if i were a wild animal here today i would be careful because pat is here who understands the best cuts of all animals. while they are not here to be eaten, i would just steer clear of her. >> clayton: apple picked his app. as one of the best apps on i tune. check it out at the itunes store. >> alisyn: what's happening in iraq. while you were sleeping. the iraq war started with shock and awe. came to a quiet close. >> 9 years now, march of 2003, of course, the war was underway. and we reflect this morning at the loss, at the cost of the question marks that lie ahead. we won't know if this is a tremendous disease for a couple of years, but, look, it's good news that our troops, all the sacrifices

they have made, they will be home for christmas. again, it's hard not to look at the numbers, isn't it, clayton? >> take a look at this. not to put a bow on this thing and tie it up as to how this thing has ended. these are the numbers this morning with this end of the war. number of troops in iraq they spent 3210 days there. american deaths, upwards of 4500 american deaths. wounded 32,000. the iraqi deaths, look at that 125,000 iraqis lost their lives. the cost of this war close to a trillion dollars. $823 billion. >> alisyn: impossible to know the long-term ramifications if this was helpful and iraqis are grateful that hall of fame is gone despite the price they have paid. it was interesting in all of the reports this morning what started? shock and awe ended in subdue final way. as the tanks rolled out. there were some iraqi soldiers a handful standing on the side of the border there, clapping, waving good by the relationship with the iraqi

soldiers has been impressive, it's been wonderful. now we leave them on their own to see if they're up to the task of protecting the country. >> dave: it's a bit strange that this ended because there was no immunity for the united states troops to stay behind if we left a couple of thousand troops behind, the iraqi government could not reach an agreement with the obama administration on giving them legal immunity it is strange that that ultimately is forcing our withdrawal from a nine year war. >> clayton: our own geraldo rivera knows this war well and has covered texas tensively. is he there in kuwait live for us this morning and who witnessed this historic withdrawal of the troops and he is with some troops this morning. geraldo? >> hi, dave, clayton and alisyn. it was quite a thrill in a way. it was a thrill because the g.i.'s coming back out of iraq were thrilled to have the opportunity not only to see their families for christmas but also to see the end of

this long and bloody conflict. my goodness, eight years, nine months, 4487 dead. the wounded in action, well into the 30,000s, it was really a very costly war also in every regard. you guys, it was very hell alan collie to -- melancholy. a trillion taxpayer dollars. you could see the vehicles last night that we were leaving behind. this was a vast base that once held 12,000 of our soldiers and airmen. there are hundreds of vehicles there that we left behind. we turned that base over to the iraqis last night. got in that convoy, and i can't overstate the enthusiasm of the g.i.s riding in that armored convoy. the last convoy out of iraq no

more fighting troops in iraq. no more u.s. bases. no more except for embassy in baghdad belongs to iraqis and historians. tell us if it was all worth it. >> alisyn: we can only imagine that the troops behind you are happy that they are headed home. do they have mixed feelings today about what they have served for? >> when are you guys going to go home? >> we don't know yet. >> these are the drivers, these are the motor pool guys. the people that they have been taking out. how many missions have you had >> there were 700 different missions. you can imagine, you know, a million of our gi's alisyn, have passed through iraq over the course of this long war. they have been driving them back and forth. now the ride has all been one way. and you should see all of the stuff. you know, the gi's getting them home, you know, as

anxious as they are, that's the easy part. they get put on buses, many of them will be leaving today and tomorrow. they get put on buss with their duffle bags. they get a flight home and that's it. you have to remember there are 37,000 vehicles, tanks, and m wraps and those great big trucks and humvees and everything else that also have to be disposed of. they have already processed 18,000 of them. what is shocking and really amazing. 40% of the stuff going to afghanistan. that's understandable. the war that many say the war that could have been fought successfully were it not for iraq. but many of the rest of it, 20%, 30% going home. the rest is going to be junked. the next time we get involved in one of these conflicts someone will say is it worth it not just the cost in blood which is profound but the cost in treasure, alisyn. >> unbelievable. witnessing this historic morning. thanks so much, geraldo. he will have much more on this

story. >> alisyn: in the next hour. >> thank you, geraldo. great job. >> alisyn: putting it in perspective. incredible to see those images. we do have other news to tell you about. rest of your headlines because we have big, big news out of washington. your paycheck won't be taking a hit at least for now. the senate as you know passed a bill to extend the payroll tax cut for two more months it would have expired on new year's day. now that bill is in the fate of the house leaders. it's expected to be voted on tomorrow. republics say they are not pleased and are ready to reject the measure. it's complicated. the senate liked it. the house doesn't. occupy wall street protesters are still going strong in some pockets. take a look. [cheers] more than 50 people were reportedly arrested after trying to climb over a chain linked fence of a church parking lot there that's apparently where they wanted to build a new campground. they were turned away.

once they tried again. they were turned away divenget you are looking at. so aftermath. police are ramping up search today for 20 month old girl from waterville maine. they believe iila reynolds may have been abducted. he last saw her asleep in her crib around 10:00 p.m. friday. she was wearing green poka dot pajamas. similar to the lisa irwin case. new concerns about orange juice. for the last 30 years the f.d.a. has left out label ago secret ingredient to add more flavor to the pasture rised juice. some critics are concerned it contains harmful chemicals. glad they're telling us now. put away christmas cookie cutters and break out the broccoli. schools in western massachusetts are banning all sugary snacks from holiday celebrations this year. instead they are telling students to bring healthy treats, fruits, beverages and unsweet juices.

[ laughter ] >> clayton: one time every year. >> of everything that was said that was the headline. the take away. breaking news clayton went to the jim. all right, clayton, you can do it again. run outside in the cold. cold day across much of the east northeast. satellite radar picture shows it's very dry. few lake-effect snow flurries. few rain showers ahead of the system. this is the big storm that's about to bring big changes across the four corners eventually in towards areas of texas. take a look what the futurecast does. here is where we are starting out today. by this afternoon and overnight we start to see this move in across parts of new mexico. by tomorrow this explodes across places like the panhandle of texas and oj.

we are also going to be seeing the threat for severe weather across the south side of this. blizzard watches have been posted across parts of new mexico. parts of colorado. and kansas. some areas maybe up to about a foot and a half of snow. and then right in front of that for tomorrow we have the threat for severe weather. we can see an isolated tornado. certainly some wind and hail. big stormmaker for us tomorrow. that storm moves to the east. it's out of here by wednesday off the east coast as a rainmaker not snow in and across the east coast. pack to you. >> thanks, rick. tebow mania sweeping the country. one rabbi with harsh words for the quarterback. >> rabbi joshua hammerman wrote an op-ed saying quote, in this country, nothing, not even god is more poplar with football when you combine the religion football with the religion that is religion. the mix can be dangerously flammable. he has since apologized but is the damage already done? i should add a lot more to that. father jonathan morris with us this morning. the worst part of this is saying tebow's embolden

faithful can do things like burning mosques, and bashing gays and indiscriminately bashing immigrants. >> if this tebow mania continues to the super bowl, these things can happen. it has nothing to do with the fact that he is a rabbi or is he jewish and going against the christians. >> nothing. >>. no i think any catholic priest can say stupid things or evangelical pastor. he has apologized, right? there is this sense from some people who don't like tebow's faith and the way he expresses it that somehow this is part of as this rabbi himself said the poster boy for the religious right. >> alisyn: we have the apology and let us read it and see if you think that is sufficient. the rabbi now says i realize the way i made my points was clumsy and inappropriate. i sincerely apologize to

mr. tebow. >> it's the christians in this country. his supporters. >> more than clumsy and inartful. he said people would be rising up in arms and we're not sure what the point exactly. >> i think the important thing is what was his point that he made in a clumsy way according to him? the point was that he was a poster boy and he started out his article like this. this is a poster boy for the religious right. now, the suggestion that the religious right is going to rise up against synagogues or bash gays is absolutely, i think, incorrect. is he living his faith. is he playing football. he is expressing in the same ways he did in college and high school. just a normal guy. >> clayton: let me ask you this to wrap this up. how should christians respond. what would a christian do in response to this type of attack. >> we discuss it like this in a very peaceful way, in a rational way. and make sure that we don't repeat mistakes when it's our turn to criticize. >> alisyn: good message,

father. great to see you. >> i heard you were showing some images of me riding a bull. >> clayton: christmas party. >> alisyn: we're happy. >> clayton: practice what you preach. >> this was all about beating brian kilmeade. >> brian had a good ride too. >> i did. >> alisyn: you guys are witnesses. that was impressive. thanks so much, father. always impressive. mitt romney with two big endorsements this morning. will it be enough to put him back on top in iowa. chris wallace sat down with the presidential candidate. is he going to join us next. >> clayton: plus an officer goes beyond the call of duty to help a woman trapped underneath a bus. join us when he joins us life. most amazing superfruits. hey, keep it down mate, you'll wake the kids.

certainly helps as well. having said that they endorsed john mccain four years ago and, of course, mike huckabee won. so it certainly doesn't -- it's not a gold ticket as they sway willie won can a. but it helps. wily wonka. what struck me as how relaxed he seemed and how confident he seemed. and you know, and i think in a way different than four years ago. four years ago, he was new to this. i think he was campaigning as a social warrior. that's not really who he is. he is an economic businessman. is he a fix-it guy. and obviously that's the big issue right now is the economy. and i think he believes he is best qualified of all the republic candidates and also more than the president to come in and try to fix this economy. >> we have a piece of that

interview let's listen and see your reaction. >> we have another lesson to learn. i think you will find this president by not putting in force an agreement with the iraqi leadership has pulled our troops out in a precipitous way and we should have left 10, 20, 30,000 personnel there to help transition to the iraqis own capabilities. i'm very concerned in this setting. i hope it works out is that generally the flow of the interview. is it all focused on the president? >> it's very wide ranging he certainly goes are a the president's leadership. gingrich. tactics that he doesn't feel newt gingrich has the right temp temperament and ideas to be president. we talk a lot about his economic background he was the head of bain capital.

like any private equity firm some companies they had succeed and some didn't succeed. some lost their job. some businesses were outsourced to other country. we talk a lot about. romney believes in something called creative destruction. it's an idea, an economic theory basically that capitalism advances through creative. strong companies fail newer companies come and succeed there can be a lot of upheaval it generally strengthens it the idea if he is the nominee. the president is going to come after him as protecting the rich as gordon gecko. i asked him that directly. isn't he going to come after you as gorngd gecko. greed is good? the other thing we talk about as i say economic policy. the individual mandate. the republic race. the general election, foreign policy. we also at the end, and i think this is quite special. talk about his relationship with his dad, his relationship with his wife.

tenderization of the meat. through dehumidifiers and circulation of the temperature, we are able to age something without it rotting. and if we see a cross section of that, you could see how the meat is still red inside but if you were pushed out on the meat now it's really really tender. >> it doesn't lose any of the moistness in the meat? >> no, no it it's water that would have come out during the cooking process anyway. >> i want to ask you my wife is a big fan of the fillet. toward the tea bone away from the fillet, why? fillets are great but not as much flavor as the new york state. for a steak enthusiast, fillet is probably the lowest on priority. >> isn't fillet a part of the other pieces of meat? if you get another piece of meat. >> you have the best of both worlds. you have the most tender cut which is a fillet is the most tender cut. and can you learn it on the app. and on the other side you

somehow made the decision that instead of just talking to her, sitting down next to the bus and talking to her, you were going to crawl under there and hold her hand. how did you make that decision. >> well, i really couldn't get a feel for the situation where i was outside of the bus or even just kneeling down. i wanted to be able to get under there and really assess the situation. see what the extent of her injuries were. and just be face-to-face with her. >> alisyn: see, officer peck, that's a many ton bus. that would be a nightmare for someone who say is claustrophobic. do you have any touch of claustrophobia? >> i do, actually. do i have that fear of being stuck in a confined space. it's not something that i was thinking about at the time. >> alisyn: i guess not. because somehow you overcame

your phobia of close ter phobia. what was it like for those minutes while you waited for her to be rescued under the bus? >> once i made the determination just to kind of crawl under there, after a few minutes -- i had a greater appreciation for what she must have been feeling and how afraid she was. >> you really went above and beyond the call. the woman is expected to survive. she is 24-year-old aryan smith. and she wanted to see you in the hospital. you paid a visit to her. what happened in the hospital? >> i did. i had the chance to go up and talk to her and meet some of her family members. and it was nice for me to be

deaths, 125,000. >> dave: hard to ignore the cost in terms of how much it cost the u.s. treasury, almost a trillion dollars. and, again, we'll continue to ask for years, perhaps, decades to come, if it was all worth it. we may not know for a while, guys. >> alisyn: the man who was there from the beginning, geraldo rivera is live with us from kuwait. surrounded, of course, by our troops, geraldo, tell us your thoughts today. >> reporter: hi, alisyn, dave and clayton, you know, the sun has just set here on this momentous occasion, you know, the war ended this morning, the war, you know, that took is 11 times into the war-torn country, and i've seen so many young men and women over the last decade, they were in middle school, many of them, when this started and now are men and women full

grown, fighting for their country, at least until this morning and last night in iraq we were honored to be invited to a camp in iraq, that held 12,000 troops and airmen, all of it now the property of the iraqis. early, in the evening, we saw them case the colors, a very emotional, emotional time as the final u.s. combat troops were being withdrawn, that base closing, we got in the convoy, a convoy of 100 vehicles from the 3rd brigade of the 1st cavalry and living the legend is their slogan and they lived the legend and fought hard and had many, many difficult deployments there. it was an amazing, amazing moment for me, personally. it was with relief and a kind of a huge sigh, not elation, so much, but here's what it was like when we crossed the line.

>> we are out of iraq. we are out of iraq. we are in kuwait. we made it. they made it. all right. >> reporter: that is what it was, we survived it. it wasn't victory as it was relief. so, we survived it. you know, the last commanding general in iraq, four star general lloyd austin, was with us, in camp, last night and i asked him, was it worth it? here's the general: >> if you consider the fact that we have a young democracy in a very critical region, a region that is critical to the united

states of america, yes, it is worth it. >> reporter: and, certainly, you know, he also said, the general did, if you were one of the families of one of the fallen, i heard dave mentioning the awful butcher's toll, 4487 immortal warriors who fell there, if you were one of their family members and ask if it was worth it, i'm sure the answer might be different. but, for us, you know, it is over, we'll see if iraq can go on and sustain a democracy bought with such a high cost in blood and u.s. treasure. back to you guys in new york. >> alisyn: great. and that moment, inside the tank, i think really captures what the feelings were, inside of the tank, everybody is relieved and there is jubilation and they said outside it was silent and somber as there was a small group of iraqi soldiers applauding as they crossed over

the border. >> clayton: how many times the war and the mission changed, of course the surge and the surge for weapons of mass destruction and the threat to the united states and a switch to help a fledgling democracy and we remember the purple thumbs, remember, after voting for the first time and maybe that is one lasting image from all of this. >> dave: and now, credit and/or blame as it plays out, politically into the 2012 election, will be interesting, too. >> alisyn: speaking of that we have headlines for you and there is big news out of washington. the senate approved a two-month extension of the payroll tax, and it would have expired on new year's day and the fate of the bill heads to the house for and expected vote tomorrow. is it a done deal? it is complicated. republicans say they are not pleased. they are ready to reject the measure. if rejected it means an average american would pay $1,000 more each year. coming up, 9:15, illinois senator mark kirk will talk to us about why he voted against

this bill. meanwhile, police investigating the disappearance of a 20-month-old girl, from maine, he said his daughter was last seen sleeping in her crib 10:00 p.m. friday night and she was wearing green pajamas and, polka dots with "daddy's princess" on them, anyone with information is asked to call police. athens, texas, 5,000 people rallied in support of a nativity scene outside the courthouse, it's on display every christmas and aye an atheist group is challenging its constitutionality. >> it has been here for many years, and, to my opinion, i think it should stay. >> they are not from here. they really have, no sense of what the town is really like. >> alisyn: henderson county officials received a letter from the group demanding its removal and the judge said the nativity scene will stay put. those are your headlines. >> dave: let's get to rick

reichmuth who can tell us how cold it is and, the meat locker out there, a while ago, rick, thank you. >> rick: you are paying attention. another dry day across the east an extremely cold, coldest morning, so far this winner and the coldest day today. tomorrow, warms up. but across parts of the west, blizzard watches are posted, the far western part of the plains and we have a severe weather threat tomorrow across areas of texas. waking up across the east, there are a few lake-effect snow flowers and, in front of the system moving towards the plains, a few scattered showers at times, this is the big system, counterclockwise rotation, the upper level disturbance that will pull in across areas of arizona, new mexico, texas and parts of plains. look at how it plays to the. here's where we are today and the futurecast shows today we have this in arizona and, by tomorrow, into the morning, moves towards parts of new mexico and tomorrow afternoon, heavy snow across areas of the panhandle of texas, into oklahoma and kansas and we have

it by tuesday morning before it is gone and we have blizzard watches that have been posted for the storm, where you see the red and there will be areas, a lot of areas, 6-12 inches of snow and we'll see isolated totals up around 18 inches and a big storm for the year, in front of that, also, a severe threat, where you see the yellow, could be a threat for small tornadoes and wind and hail and everything on your plate, for tomorrow and remember, guys, everybody traveling this week, a lot of people, for christmas and starting out of the week will be rough. guys? >> alisyn: oh, boy, it is winter. thanks, rick. >> dave: meanwhile think campaign trail, the state of iowa, the first caucuses are about two weeks away, if you can believe it. mitt romney, getting two big endorsements, this morning, is it enough to put him on top? >> clayton: campaign carl cameron is live in des moines, iowa, this morning with more on this and carl, a lot of people wonder, maybe he should be in south carolina. it seems like half the attention is there, split between the two.

have you seen anything like this? >> reporter: all the time, it happens every four years, it is iowa, new hampshire and south carolina and the candidates leapfrog to the states second and third in the pros to be sure organizations are appropriate plaly prepared and even a marathon has a starting line and who gets off the starting line does matter and they want to do well in iowa and there are a lot of good things happening for mitt romney in the hawkeye state. he led the polls will three weeks ago when newt gingrich surged ahead and it has been well documented but, newt gingrich's polls have begun to slip, we have seen it in iowa and nationally, and, he's acknowledged that some of the attack ads have begun to take a toll on him. and, his candidacy and he's back in d.c., this weekend, trying to come up with a few last minute tactics to adjust for the criticism and today there is big news for mitt romney, "the des moines register" endorsed him, saying that he has the type of

judgment, type of wisdom that is necessary, in order to actually be the president, and serve the country. and "the des moines register" also makes the point that newt gingrich in their view is not the guy, because he has shown the temperament in the past, when she was speaker of the house, that is not optimal for what the republican candidate needs go up against president obama in this particular race and that is a very, very significant boost for mitt romney and "the des moines register," is the state's largest pup and newspaper and i recognized around the country as one of the definitive papers. and, the endorsement of robert j. dole, the 1996 republican pleasant detention nominee, bob dole won the iowa caucuses twice and he's from kansas, a highly, highly respected senior states man and elder in the republican party and he, too, endorsed mitt romney. and it is particularly a back hand to newt gingrich. and bob dole and newt gingrich in 1994-96 were the house

speaker and majority leader together, and, back in 1996 when dole ran for president as the republican nominee, the clinton campaign and clinton white house trashed dole mercilessly in large measure trying to tie him to newt gingrich as an anchor to drag him down and it work. and it raises all kinds of stories about newt gingrich's past, reminding republicans why they have doubts to whether he can win the propose dennis and it is coal here in iowa. >> dave: we can see that. >> alisyn: you don't have mouth freeze yet. you will soon. >> reporter: a little bit! >> alisyn: we'll let you go. thanks for all of that perspective. really helpful. >> dave: he plays a politician on tv, darrell hammond here, live with us, alongside his good friend, ann coulter. we'll talk to ann about why she says gingrich would not be the

best president to debate obama. more "fox & friends," and what a couple these two are, huh? >> clayton: he does a great ann coulter impression, too. >> alisyn: you never know who you will see in our greenroom. there may be a goat in there, also. the droid razr by motorola. the newest droid armed with motocast. granting you wireless access to files on your home computer from almost anywhere. 4g lte equipped to pull pictures, music, and movies. all at mind-melting speeds. powered by verizon, this droid is too powerful to fall into the wrong hands.

>> dave: welcome back. the senate passed it but tomorrow the fate of the payroll tax cut is in the hands of the house. but not everyone in the senate is happy about passing the bill in the first place and speaker boehner this morning says there needs to be a new plan, altogether, illinois republican senator kirk who vote against the payroll tax cut joins us this morning. from chicago. good to see you, senator. >> merry christmas, dave. >> dave: and, to you. you voted no. tell us why and what you think the fate of the bill is, now that john boehner has said this morning, it is pretty clear that i and our members oppose the senate bill, one that passed 89-10. >> i think more and more members of the house are realizing the

legislation cut social security contribution by $20 billion. social security is already running in the red. $60 billion, and we know 10,000 americans qualify for social security, each day. with the retirement of the baby boom generation. this would boost social security losses, to $80 billion. seniors have enough to worry about, without seeing congress undermining the finances of social security and the administration says, don't worry, we'll replace the lost contribution with downgraded government debt that no longer has a aaa credit rating from standard & poor's and that is part of the reason why, in the house, more and more members are concerned about this and the future of social security. >> dave: aside from the damage done to social security, are you concerned about how it plays politically, going into a heated election, when you are looking at 160 million americans, not getting somewhere between 1,000 and $15,000? -- $1500? >> most americans realize the

government is running way in the red and see european governments running out of money. i think the problem is, we cannot run a retirement security program without contributions. that is what the europeans did when they destroyed their credit. we should not do that to social security. and, that is why i think we need to rethink this. defend social security to make sure it has the contributions it needs. and, then on the keystone xl pipeline, republicans, i, we all very much support it but, remember the underlying legislation simply says, mr. president, make a decision. it is quite likely, in 60 days he'd make a decision to kill the pipeline. that would be the wrong way to go. it is 20,000 jobs, and, underlying the keystone xl pipeline is the idea we should buy oil from our friends, not our enemies. >> dave: the estimates are all over the map, i should say in terms of jobs created, some say as low as 2,000 but i want to ask you about the way the president plans to frame republicans in the upcoming election. it became clear in a yet to be aired interview the president

did with barbara walters. listen to what he said. >> president barack obama: you never want to state is all them. but i do think, right now, at least, in the republican party, there are a couple of notions. number one is that compromise is a dirty word. number 2, anything obama is for, we're against and if i propose a health care bill full of republican ideas and in fact is very similar to the law passed by the current republican front-runner, or one of the top front-runners... >> you have just done him in. >> president barack obama: the other guy was supportive of many of the ideas as well and suddenly they become against it. >> dave: is compromise a dirty word in washington? and, are the republicans, senate and the house, against anything the president might propose at this point? >> compromise is not a dirty

word. republicans joined with the president to back three key free trade agreements and faa authorization and yesterday passed an appropriation measure that funds the government, all year long and, senator joe manchin, a democrat of west virginia and i teamed up to say we ought not to undermine finances or social security. remember, the white house detailed -- american people need to look at details, health care bills cut medicare, $550 billion. the president has redefined contributions to social security, he calls its the payroll tax and 50 years after franklin roosevelt we called it contributions to social security and we need to maintain the retirement security system for 40 million americans. >> dave: don't get too comfortable in chicago. i think you are heading back to washington, d.c. this week. merry christmas to you, nonetheless. >> merry christmas. >> dave: who can forget the

>> clayton: i'm excited about this. for years he made sure bill clinton, dick cheney, al gore, dr. phil, donald trump, the list goes on... all made regular appearances on "saturday night live." take a look: >> the question of courage, and newt gingrich is not afraid to come, he has guts. rick santorum has more guts, because, let's face it, the guy is a real loser. >> hey! >> excuse me. he's' light weight yet that's guts to come and mitt romney and rick perry should be ashamed of themselves.

>> alisyn: now, snl comedian and actor and phone-answerer, darrell hammond is opening up personal life, "god, if you are not up there, i'm blanked." >> a specific prayer, i was in jail on the caribbean and i never prayed and, so that was the first thing that came to mind. and, then, since i didn't know any prayers i asked the guard to bring me a bible, and, i understand even the most sadistic guard will bring a bible, not that he was sadistic and brought me a bible and i felt i should have a proper prayer and i didn't know any and i felt like the maker of trees and hanger of planets, would go up, he can't do better than that, right now. not really be offended by the fact i don't know what i'm doing. >> clayton: from prison to, 14 years on "saturday night live."

incredible comedian, and, an iconic impersonator. when you look -- what is your favorite impression to do? >> i like them all. i go through phases, you know. >> alisyn: are you in a trump phase? >> do trump for us... >> dave: you as donald trump, we haven't had a chance -- >> i'd like to get her to do an impersonation. you just did it. >> alisyn: guess what? i do -- >> yes, you did! >> alisyn: the secret formula for doing spot-on impersonations. >> it helps if you can meet them, you know? but, usually it is a matter of a cup of coffee and, as many hours as you can pack in, before it is saturday night at 11:30. >> alisyn: meaning watching. >> you do, you -- does he have a speech impediment. what does he do with his hands and lucky in the case of someone like mr. trump, when he's

passionate he does... like that. and you are like, wow, at least he has -- but, see, it is fun toy me, usually the people that become like really famous like that, are so utterly themselves, they are different. but, i mean, when i was in college, auto did a study on charisma and all the guys that had the most charisma had tailed oral interpretation class in college and i failed it, too. >> dave: mr. trump, why did you bail out of the debate. >> look, i'm sick of this... i don't know, why did he bail out? i don't know. >> dave: i thought maybe you could give us... >> it is one thing to have the voice impression and we showed video of you preparing to get into the hair -- how long does it take to put the hair on, the behind-the-scenes... >> oh, look at that. >> clayton: "saturday night live." the coif there, huh? >> well, you know -- wow, look

at that. >> alisyn: you look just like him. >> dave: you are even amazed. >> you know why? it is because i have a blank face, they say. >> dave: a canvas. >> they say i have a bland face, a face you can paint on, and, like they'll come in and, you can't see it yet in that one but they'll start painting and literally will paint the face. >> dave: we have a moment, that involves tom brady, and he plays tim tebow... >> i wanted to be an athlete like him my whole life and he was on stage and he was going to do this thing i had to back hand him as dr. phil and, he does something athletic because of something i did! >> alisyn: let's watch. >> do you want to work this out? or do you want your wife to get fed up and leave you? >> i just want to... >> ken, i want you to look in

jamie's eyes, and tell her i love you. >> okay. dr. phil loves me. [laughter]. >> looking good! >> know what it is like to slap tom brady. >> he's a great guy. i couldn't believe how good his timing was, so good. but, dr. phil, the other day i think did his show and he said he wanted me to do him and i said, all my life i wanted to hear you say, are you really stupid or just a little stupid, because, y'all... >> alisyn: so great. darrell hammond, we loved having you, great to hear your stories and the book, again, "if you are not up there i'm f-ed". >> clayton: tales from stand-up and "saturday night live."

>> kind to have me on. >> dave: coming up, the senate passed the payroll tax extension but house speaker john boehner is not happy and moments ago he shared why. >> alisyn: naughty parents playing christmas pranks on their own kids. having them open not so great gifts. >> a girl activity book? i am not a girl! this is the worst christmas. >> alisyn: should the parents get coal in their own stockings. >> clayton: folks, 7 days until christmas and we have 'em for you. when we do our trump impression in person. [ male announcer ] it's simple physics... a body at rest tends to stay at rest... while a body in motion tends to stay in motion.

staying active can actually se arthritis symptoms. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammatio plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. a celebrex is not a narcotic. when it comes to relieving your arthritis pain, you and your doctor need to balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naen, and melocam have the same cardiovascar warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart dease or risk factors such as high blo pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, including celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions or stomach anintestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly

are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. do not take celebrex if you'v had an asthma attack, hives, oother allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor your medical history and find an arthritis treatment for you. visit celebrex.com and ask your doctor about celebrex. for a body in motion.

>> alisyn: welcome back, everybody, we have a busy half-hour, let's get to your headlines. moments ago, house speaker john boehner speaking for the first time, about the recently passed bill, in the senate. just yesterday, that extends the payroll tax, for two months. he says he is not in favor of it. >> what i'm suggesting is this: the house passed its bill and now the senate passed its bill.

and, you know, under the constitution, we have these disagreements there will be a conference between the house and senate to resolve our differences. but our members believe we have to do our work. >> alisyn: he wants to resolve the issue now and not push it off until february and newt gingrich says criticisms from his rivals are take a toll on his presidential campaign. >> we just decided that we would, from now to the caucus, on a regular basis, make available to anybody in iowa who wants to ask a question, so that we can tell the truth and we can systematically allow you to understand the facts rather than the various political attacks and the political charges, i have tried very hard to campaign on a positive basis. >> alisyn: he is taking issue with mitt romney in particular, and he says attack ads put out by mitt romney supporters are completely exaggerated. first, jimmie kimmel wanted

parents to prank their kids and take away their halloween candy and now asked them to give their kids really, really bad christmas presents, and to watch their reactions. and tape them. >> i don't like this! >> what is that? >> a girl activity book with stickers. i'm not a girl. the worst christmas ever. >> i like getting a present, but i didn't know it would be like that. >> open them up. you don't want this for christmas? >> you stinkin' parents. take it back. >> take it back where? this is yours. >> i want a refund. >> you stupid parents! i hate you! i hate you! >> i thought hard about what to get you this year. >> you didn't do a very good

job. >> dave: they had it coming, right? >> rick: brilliant. not abuse. i love it. i could watch those things, all day long. >> clayton: a full five-minute video, we'll tweet out, if anyone misses it. >> rick: it is cold, as dave can attest, cold across everywhere in the northeast, coldest morning we have had so far. and we have one of the really big stories, especially, if you live in areas of new mexico, parts of texas and, oklahoma, panhandle areas, towards kansas, where you see that kind of a pink blob, is going to be the stripe, along highway 54, where we can see up to 18 inches of snow, along with blowing conditions, that will be all day tomorrow and tomorrow night, and if you are traveling across that area. big story and dangerous situation, certainly stay off the roads, if you can and we'll continue to track it here today, and tomorrow, in the fox weather center, back to you inside.

>> dave: welcome back. republican presidential candidate newt gingrich does not

lack confidence when it comes to debate skills. >> i believe i can debate barack obama and i think in 7 three-hour debates he will not have a leg to stand on. >> dave: is he the best to debate the president? >> clayton: not everyone agrees with that. joining us now is ann coulter, author of "demonic." nice to see you. >> thank you, good to be here. >> clayton: is he the best person to debate barack obama. >> he certainly thinks so. >> dave: he's good at it, though and that is why he emerged in the polls. >> i think he did that because of the aggressive things he says about obama the same way trump emerged for a while in the polls, but he makes a lot -- big mistakes in the debates that have not come out much, because republicans are so nice to one another and the democrats aren't going to be -- >> like what? what mistakes. >> the constant insistence that he helped ronald reagan develop supply-side economics. that is delusional. it is insane.

>> clayton: he mentions ronald reagan in almost every debate. >> yes. >> clayton: you know, dave and i talked about this before, the picture of bob dole running up on stage and vivaciousness of the campaign, and, portrayed that he was out of touch and, didn't work well for him against bill clinton, does the same thing happen to newt gingrich running up on stage, and can he get the same excitement when he has to give stump speeches and debate the president. >> he'll wither i think as quickly as perry did once he started making mistakes in the debates and people saw that he isn't the best communicator. when no one is challenging newt, because they have this on section with the alleged 11th commandment from reagan, which, by the way, the history of the 11th commandment, you shalt not attack another republican, and that was used in 1980 and not even in the full campaign and

he, did a lot, in 1980 and he didn't want to debate in iowa and developed the rule on the spot, you shall not debate republicans and, then turned around and said, i have to drop the 11th commandment. drop the nonsense about, you shall not attack another republican. newt is making all kinds of mistakes. >> dave: what is mitt romney's strength in debating president obama? what does he highlight... >> oh, that is easy. for one thing, he doesn't make mistakes, his answers have been beautiful on so many questions. how do you appeal to hispanics, when he was asked about newt's comments, attacking him for bain capital, was lovely i mean, we don't like to see the republican candidates attack one another too much but it was lovely how he answered that out attacking newt an attacked obama for taking over gm and, i think, republicans should remember, we are running against no drama-obama, lovely man, attractive family, you do not want to send in someone who is going to look mean and scary. and, romney is so calm and

gently and unthreatening and you will have soccer moms an independents -- >> we're out of time, thanks for hanging out with, with all the breaking news we had. ann coulter, merry christmas. >> merry christmas. >> dave: up next, a performance by the salvation and deliverance church choir. and what that fes like copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva helps control my copd symptoms... ...by keepinmy airways open... ...a full 24 hours. plus, it reduces copd flare-ups. spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled copd maintence treatment that does both. and it's eroid-free. spiriva doesot replace fast-acting inlers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and call your doctor right away

if you have painful, swollen joints, i've been in your shoes. one day i'm on top of the world... the next i'm saying... i have this thing called psoriatic arthritis. i had some intense pain. it progressively got worse. my rheumatologist told me about enbrel. i'm surprised how quickly my symptoms have been managed. [ male announcer ] because enbrel suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common.

don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been tated for heart faure, or if, while on enbr, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. get back to the things that matter most. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you.
