"fox & friends" starts now. bye. good morning. it's friday, november 22, 2013. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. dems go nuclear stripping republicans the power to block obama's nominees. did they forget what the president once said. >> that doesn't serve anyone's best interest and it isn't what the patriots who founded this democracy had in mind. >> what exactly changed? >> i think we know. >> plus was all this politically time to turn your attention away from the disaster we refer to as obamacare? you will hear from liberals

who say his fellow democrats are freakin' out. >> joe biden may need to raise his own debt ceiling. >> 56.25. >> all right. you got ten bucks? no, no, i'm not taking that. >> are you sure? >> i've been going here for the past few years. i have paid every time i've gone. >> what happens when the vice president does not have enough money for lunch? we'll tell you over the course of the next three hours. because according to my calendar -- that's steve's watch. this is my watch. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪ >> you know, typical washington, d.c. you wonder why we're in trouble. some guy goes out for lunch. he's got 40 bucks in his

pocket. he spent 50 bucks. >> no big deal. somebody else will pay for it. >> that guy is like the vice president. >> he's just like the vice president. >> in fact he is. >> money management. >> joe biden did it again. so we have something else. we also have something very interesting. we have joe biden as senator and joe biden as vice president commenting on the nuclear option. we have president obama as president and we also have president obama as senator commentating on the nuclear option. the nuclear option is what drops the overall vote down in the senate to pass something from 60 to 51. it finally happened. the nuclear option was enacted, but the problem is it has a track record. >> it does. yesterday harry reid and company, the democrats, blew up two centuries of tradition and custom. what's interesting is -- and we're going to talk about how it does appear it is a distraction from the affordable care act debacle. >> so act surprised when we

bring it up. >> we will do just that. what's interesting is we're going to play a montage for you that just shows you how the democrats were against this before they were now for it. keep in mind we're going to take you back a couple of years. george bush was the president of the united states, and the republicans in charge of the senate were talking about invoking the nuclear option. at that point that was a really bad idea according to all these very famous democrats. >> if the right of free and open debate is taken away from the minority party and the millions of americans who ask us to be their voice, i fear that the already partisan atmosphere in washington will be poisoned to the point where no one will be able to agree on anything. >> this nuclear option is ultimately an example of the arrogance of power. it is a fundamental power grab. >> for people to suggest that you can break the

rules to change the rules is un-american. >> the nuclear option if successful will turn the senate into a body that can have its rules broken at any time by a majority of senators unhappy with any position taken by the minority. it begins with judicial nominations. next will be executive appointments. and then legislation. >> that doesn't serve anyone's best interest, and it certainly isn't what the patriots who founded this democracy had in mind. >> i say to my friends on the republican side you may own the field right now, but you won't own it forever. and i pray god when the democrats take back we don't make the kind of naked power grab you are doing. >> and yesterday they made that naked power grab. how funny is that? >> in a big way. serious too. because the complexion of

our senate, the complexion of how we think about laws in this nation is potentially going to change. you go from violation of democratic principles, right, that would worsen partisanship, that it will ruin our country, that you're praying it wouldn't happen -- joe biden. but mr. president today. yesterday a huge shift so they're against it. and yesterday president obama had a revelation. listen to this. >> today's pattern of obstruction just isn't normal. it's not what our founders envisioned. a deliberate and determined effort to obstruct everything, no matter what the merits, just to refight the results of an election is not normal. and for the sake of future generations we can't let it become normal. >> here's why they say they did it yesterday. because they say the president can't get any of his nominations for the courts past this republican senate.

harry reid cited there have been 168 filibusters on nominations in history, throughout the american history, 168, half of them during barack obama's days. but what the republicans say is that reid jumps to declare a filibuster before any public opposition to anybody is actually brought up. it's a crazy kabuki dance what they're doing. why did they choose to do it yesterday? probably to distract people from the affordable care act debacle, because the president is taking a terrible beating in the polls. as we're about to hear from mark halperin who has a new book out, liberals right now are freaking out. >> as i travel around the country, i'm meeting liberals who are freaking out over what's going on because their dream of universal health care may be going down. at the same time the president's popularity is going down. at the same time people's trust in him is going down. fixing this will not be

easy technically. it might be more challenging politically because the president has crossed a certain line -- not all the way over the line, still got about 40% of the country supporting him. but he's going to have to find a way as he said the other day to rebrand this. >> mark halperinsaid they are freaking out. we said what could possibly change the tone and tenor of the debate? gradually it is being implemented and every single time you're hearing about high rates, impossible to log on, big deductibles, cancellations. what is going to change the tone and tempo? i guess this is it for the next two or three days. as the "wall street journal" writes the democratic majority was justified in its grievance. they were frustrated about not getting their nominations through but not in this action. as george will pointed out last night do they not understand in less than two years there is another interim election and if the momentum continues there

will be a new senate and obamacare will be up for a vote. >> a complete complexion change and maybe at the same time possibly it is indeed a distraction. and maybe it is a bone they're throwing to supporters. here's a little bit of power. otherwise there would be revolting on the back of what's going on with obamacare. we are going to keep you posted on all of that. in the meantime, heather nauert. good morning. you have headlines. >> happy friday. glad that the week is over. as fun as it is to always be with you but i do have headlines. a sad story to bring you this morning out of minneapolis. there are new questions surrounding this. how could a mom drive her car into a frigid pond leaving two children dead? this happened in st. louis park in minnesota just outside of minneapolis. the driver was 23-year-old marian guerrido. also in the car two of her children and three of her step children. she and three of those children made it out alive.

>> i saw them bring the woman out of the water and then i saw some smaller ones coming out. they were being carried. i thought oh no i really hope they're going to be okay. >> that pond right there. police say it appears this was all just a horrible accident. the kennedy cousin michael skakel is not waking up in a jail cell for the first time in 11 years. he's now free on $1.2 million bail as prosecutors appeal a ruling that would give him a new trial in the 1975 murder of his teenage neighbor martha mocksly. last month a judge ruled skakel's original attorney failed to adequately represent him. governor chris christie, the newly elected chairman of the republican governors conference showed his influence by inviting a surprise special guest, president george w. bush. president bush shared his experiences with the governor and said he was happy for the invitation. the vice president may need a bailout of his own --

this is a cute story here. he tried to pay for lunch but it appears he was a little short on cash. >> $56.25. >> all right, man. you got ten bucks? i got 50. >> bobby -- >> no, i'm not taking it. >> are you sure? >> biden was at the opening of a new hoagie shop in d.c. the problem was he was about six bucks short so he had to borrow a ten from his aide. i'm going to try that on you -- >> it could be because it was his birthday, two days ago, joe biden. >> it could be because that's how they operate in washington, d.c. they spend money they don't have. >> they always have a man with them, the money man, who carries a wallet and all that. >> we don't get to do that, regular people. >> all right, heather, meet

you at subway. ten minutes after the hour. >> it's a story that had so many of you talking yesterday. should oprah have used the race card in defense of president obama? the fair and balanced debate up next. >> that was all over facebook. they loved that most of all. >> they did indeed. imagine walking through the park and seeing this. >> it's a t-rex! ♪ ♪ ♪ everybody wants ag ad ♪ everybody wants ag ad dinosaur ♪ it stops pain before it gets worse. nothing works faster. new fast acting advil. look for it in the white box. to share with family.

that occurs, and that occurs in some cases and maybe in many cases because he's african-american. >> is it right for oprah to pull out the race card. joining us for a fair and balanced debate, ladies first, what did you think? >> i think oprah is the bitter billionaire. we have her playing the race card trying to cover for president obama's failures. look at unemployment, look at the spepbgsd, look at -- look at the spending, look at obamacare. everything is imploding. she is trying to promote her movie as well. >> first of all, she was not talking about opposition to his policy. she was talking about sph-fts comments feeling they were racially motivated. when you say, for example, the president needs to go back to kenya. that is racially motivated. when you call him a liar at the state of the union --

>> he is a liar. he lied to hard-working americans. don't try to change the subject. we're talking about obama -- oprah playing the race card. >> no. we're talking about her answer to a question surrounding the level of disrespect that she thinks he sometimes receives. she's not talking about his policies in general. >> she's playing the race card. she injected his race into the discussion. there is no reason to do that. when you look at the facts how our economy is going, unemployment, obamacare. >> you're going into oppositional politics -- >> let's frame it this way then. many times over the last five years, every time supporters of the president have been up against critics, they have gone you don't like him because you're a bigot. how many times have you heard that? >> all the time. it goes back to failed policies and it goes back to oprah playing the race card trying to cover for obama and his failures. it is not going to work. it's backfiring. you should see the couple of minutes on her

website -- see the comments on her website. >> you are pushing your agenda. >> she is saying older whites should die in order to get rid of racism in our country. >> she said older generations. that can include whites as well. >> and you're covering for her. >> i'm not covering for anybody. i'm talking about the facts. i watched the interview. >> i watched it too. she went overseas to do it. she should have done it over here. she's a billionaire -- >> let's make this more -- >> let's talk about the issues. all right. it seems like we've talked about oprah. let's talk about people who criticize the president. they're branded as racists. i don't think barack obama could have been elected president in a racist nation. are there racists in the united states? sure. absolutely. white racists, black racists, on all sides. he could not be elected president of the united states.

we're not a racist nation. >> i don't believe that is the case as all but there are some elements of that and what oprah was speaking about, oprah is a good woman. she has her own network. she hires people of all races. my girlfriend is on a reality show on her network. all races, production cast. >> i don't think we knew this until now. >> she is not a racist. as far as the president is concerned, i do believe he has some policies and we should be able to challenge him as blacks or whites or anyone else about those policies. >> but too often it seems people pull out the race card. they go you don't like him. you're a bigot. >> that goes on on all sides. you look at the tea party -- >> if people bring the race card out -- let me for a second. historically it shuts you down because nobody wants to be referred to as a racist. >> i agree with that. there is no disagreement on that. i'm saying let's not drive oprah into that. >> oprah has done a lot of damage to herself and her credibility by playing the

race card. it is a dangerous game and very divisive. >> race is a part of american life and she's acknowledging that. >> what reality show is your girlfriend on? >> it's called "love in the city." i'm so excited about it. >> thank you very much. >> any time. >> what do you think? e-mail us now, friends@foxnews.com or go to facebook at "fox & friends." next on the rundown, a teddy bear left on the side of the road but it wasn't just a toy. somebody put a bomb inside. each week we highlight five companies hiring. today we've got an amazing success story. meet the man who just scored his dream job thanks to the program you're watching. ♪ ♪

bear: hi! yeah, we love visitors. that's why we moved to a secluded house in the middle of the wilderness. just the right coverage at just the right price. coverage checker from progressive. good morning. today is friday, november 22. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. democrats going nuclear, stripping republicans of the power to block the president's nominees. did they forget the president said this? >> that doesn't serve anyone's best interest and it certainly isn't what the patriots who founded this democracy had in mind. >> so what exactly changed? charles krauthammer here with that answer. >> he's going to be here for a while. liberal journalist invitessed to the white house for a private briefing with the president. so what happened? our own juan williams tells us as long as we promise not to tell anybody else. and he was one of the most inspiring leaders of our time,

but would jfk be a democrat? he sure sounded like one back in the '60s. >> the economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough revenues to balance our budget. just as it will never produce enough jobs or enough profits. >> sounds like reagan. more on the 50th anniversary of jfk's death straight ahead. you're watching a special edition of "fox & friends" live from new york city and dallas, starts right now. it's time for "fox & friends". i mentioned live from dallas. peter johnson, jr. is down in dealey plaza today. it was 50 years ago today. i still remember, i was in first grade when the principal came on the loud speaker around lunchtime and said the president has been shot. 15 minutes later, he came back on and said the president has died.

and we took the rest of the day off. and i went home and my mother was crying and people started watching tv for the next four days. didn't stop. >> that was an example of a president. i think that was the first book i saw, "three days in dallas." it was one of those time magazine photo books. i remember paging through it. it was one of those things that everybody went through. as you study the kennedy presidency, i always thought president obama was going to be like that. barely got in, very close election. then grow in the office because so young and be less partisan. he was heading toward reelection in a continues victory. but it doesn't seem to have gone like that. he took a different direction. but kennedy made mistakes and learned from it and went on of the it doesn't seem president obama is doing the same thing. >> i think both republicans and democrats call upon the times that president kennedy were important for our nation while he was serving. i think -- though i was not here

yet when that happened, it was certainly something talked about in our family. >> part of history. speaking of history, yesterday the democrats in the senate blew up 200 years of history in the senate where they essentially what they did was they have decided to go -- when it comes to presidential appointments and judicial appointments, you don't need 60 votes for cloture as has been the standard for 200 years. instead, you need simple majority, like the house. interesting. back in 2005, when george w. bush was president of the united states and the republicans were threatening to do that, they led the senate, the democrats were furious. they said you can never, ever do that. in fact, the guy who has got the keys for air force one in 2005 said this. >> what they don't expect is for one party, be it republican or democrat, to change the rules in the middle of the game so that they can make all the decisions

while the other party is told to sit down and keep quiet. >> right. that's too bad. then senator obama -- that looks like 1995. i mean, i can't believe how young he looks. you got to give credit to three democrats who said don't count me in on this. this is a bad move. >> bipartisan opposition. >> yeah. he's like, this is a bad move. it's a bad precedence. senator manchin is sensible. but at least it was 52-48 they cut a deal at the last minute. this time it was let's not cut a deal. but senator mcconnell saw through all that and he said this isn't real. there is a reason why they're going through with this now. >> millions of americans are hurting because of a law washington democrats forced upon them and what do they do about it? they cook up some fake fight over judge --

>> this is not a crowd day in the history of the senate in order to distract attention away from obamacare, the senate has just broken the rules in order to change the rules. >> in an effort to make up for what's going on with the obamacare crisis, there seems to be this sort of boomerang being thrown in to get into the senate and redefine what it has really been for over 200 years. >> and a lot of people are going, this is only going to be like a one or two-day story. today could probable will he be the last day -- probably be the last day on it. why did they do it? a diversion. many republicans say a diversion. the white house, the democrats are taking such a beating over the affordable care act, they're trying to change the subject. is it working? a little bit, for a at day or t. but then we'll talk about the horrendous rollout of obamacare. >> and the stories keep pouring in of those losing their plans, they're being dropped by their

insurance companies. they're not able to have the doctor they were promised and now we're hearing they may not be able to go to the hospital they may want to be in. certainly they thought, maybe possibly if we throw this in the ring, maybe everyone will forget about that. but the american people are wise this may be a distraction. >> get ready for the talking points. get ready for from here there, and everywhere, liberal commentators being on the same page on different channels at different times. why? because yesterday they marched to a march after being summon to do possibly get a pep talk about where the administration goes from here, how to actually approach perhaps the way you were going to be dressing obamacare, and what the long-term plan is. let's face it, the last 3 1/2 weeks, it would have been six weeks without the lockout, lockdown, shutdown from september, this obamacare rollout has been an abomination. and democrats can't get off their backs. they don't know where to go. they can't figure out what this legislation is and the president of the united states can't

figure out a way even to log on to his hallmark plan. so in there goes msnbc's finest. ed schultz, larry o'donnel. >> al sharpton. >> there you go. there is the roster. al sharpton, ezra klein and juan williams. >> right. and something that juan revealed, technically the president's comments were off the record, but he could reveal what some of the other senior administration officials were talking about. it's interesting, because obamacare is causing such headaches for this white house, you would that i they would try to figure a way out. no. they're doubling down. the talking points going forward are, it's the insurance companies' fault because they issued all these cancellation notices. they shouldn't have called them cannulation notices. they should have called them renewable notices! you're going to wind up with a brand-new insurance policy that's going to be so much messaging! >> we're talk about deductibles

and they're talk about a new spin! >> it's brilliant! >> you can't call it something different. right? let's rename it. >> okay. we got a couple of sound bites for you. first one, williams who was there, brent bozelle, but he can see through the spin. >> mostly as you said, i think an effort to buck up the democrats because when you look at the president's falling poll numbers, it's democrats and independents that have been buying off. >> the wheels have come off this administration. they're bringing in the shock troops. these are the shock troops that will do the outrageous for him. these are people used to make vile statements, character assassination statements. he's not bringing them in in spite of those actions. he's bringing them in because of those actions. >> so let's see, i just don't think the president fully understands and the people around him clearly don't that this is real. that nobody care, democrat or republican, there is more stories today about senior level administrators working in congress who have now finding

themselves canceled or the premiums way too high on insurance plans you can't afford. >> california rejecting the fix that the president put forward. certainly a crisis in terms of obamacare that we're heading into, despite distraction, we're still focused on what's going on. >> and at the same time, they had this nuclear option thing which could be a diversion. then next thing, they had the diversion of the new message. not good today at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. it's good here. the americans in new york city, we've got heather in order with the headlines. >> always good to be a friday. i've got some headlines. troubling story out of minneapolis this morning. there are now new questions being asked about how a mom drove her car into a frigid pond, leaving two children dead. this happened in st. louis park outside minneapolis. the driver was 23-year-old marian, also in the car, two of her children and three of her stepchildren. she and three of the children

were able to make it out of that car alive. >> i saw them bring the woman out of the water and then i saw some smaller ones coming out and they were being carried. i really hope they're going to be okay. >> you could see that pond right there next to the roadway. police say it all appears to have been a horrible accident. one of hollywood's biggest stars revealing he has skin cancer. the actor tweeted this selfy his nose bandaged up and then went on to thank his wife. he said, quote, deb said to get the mark on my nose checked. boy, was she right. get yourself checked. a photo of jackman taken last week show has small mark on the bridge of his nose. down to florida, radel in

rehab after pleading guilty to cocaine possession. he said, quote, it is my hope through this process i'll come out a better man. i'll work hard to gain back the trust and support of my constituents, my friends, and most importantly, my family. he told congressional officials he won't be back in washington this year. the oldest excuse in the book, the dog ate my homework. this is actually true. for 13-year-old payton moody and her dog, reggie. the lab got ahold of a candy-covered volcano project that she had made. the problem is, though, this volcano straight pins put in it. the family had to rush poor reggie to the emergency vet for surgery. he's going to be okay, though. >> i redid the project. but i did tell them my dog ate my homework and i showed him the x-rays. >> can we look at that once again? she got an a on her second volcano. look at that. that poor little reggie. those are your headlines.

which reminds me, we're going to do our science project competition here on "fox & friends." all of us. remember we agreed we were gog do that? >> no. >> no. >> maria molina is going to judge. going to be great. >> she taught science. >> heather nauert, who when she's not doing headlines, apparently is nagging her husband, according to what you said earlier. >> you have to, because men don't always take care of those health things. >> you think? >> if you see a celebrity, point out something that bothers you about them and they might get it fixed. especially if they have a nose. >> thank you. straight ahead, a school bus hijacked. >> got on the school bus with the bus driver and they're driving down norris martin street. i'm so scared. >> it's okay. just calm down. >> you will not believe how this ends. plus, she was one of the most inspiring leaders of our time, but stuart varney says jfk wouldn't be a democrat today? really? ♪

♪

today as we mark 50 years since president john f. kennedy's death, we're reminded not only of his leadership, but also of his economic vision. >> our true choice is not between tax reduction on the one hand and the avoidance of large federal deficits on the other. it is increasingly clear that no matter what party is in power, so long as our national security needs keep rising, an economy hampered by restrictive tax

rates will never produce enough revenues to balance our budget, just as it will never produce enough jobs or enough profits. >> don't those ideas sound closer to the political right than the political left? joining us is stuart varney from the "fox business" network. he is expounding some of the principles of the tea party of today back in the 1960s. >> you would have thought that that sound bite could have been written by ronald reagan. >> surely. >> he's far more -- jfk would seem to be far more at home with the tea party and republicans then with today's ob democrats. there are two issues. tax. taxes are at the very heart of economic policy. jfk cut tax. he proposed the tax reduction act, which was enacted after his death. he cut the top tax rate for individuals. he cut corporate tax rates. he cut taxes and set off a boom, directly opposite of president obama. >> tell people how high taxes were back then. >> 91% was the top tax rate in

1963. he proposed to reduce it and it was reduced after his death. >> it seems as though those on the wild left have come so far from that point. when we hear that sound bite, do you think hearing that today will be a reminder to them and maybe, maybe inspire them to go back to that point? >> i live in hope, elisabeth. the left could be dragged back from the cliff, which they're about to go over, because they favor even more tax increases now. what they should be looking at is tax cuts just like jfk back then. >> it's so amazing is his younger brother action ted kennedy, nothing like that at all. you wonder what would have happened to him and he was coming in on the heels of a republican administration, talking of cutting taxes. >> extraordinary. >> the day he was killed, kennedy was going to the dallas trade mart to propose cutting corporal and personal income taxes. that was the prepared speech. you were in england 50 years ago today. >> i was.

i was a young teen-ager and i distinctly remember, just like most americans remember, they remember, i remember i was watching television. the program was interrupted by a bbc newscast who are came on the air and said shots have been fired at the president in dallas, texas. then they went back to the original program. moments later, the newscaster appeared back on the air and he seemed to fumble for a moment. didn't quite know what to say. a telephone rang next to him. he picked it up with -- several moments of silence. he looked to the camera and said, the president is dead. the station faded to black, as i recall. they played organ music. but i remember the shock, the emotion, the intensity. even though i was in england at the time, it went around the world with lightning speed. it was a big deal there just as much as it was here. >> i'm sure you flect on this day -- reflect on this day on "barney and company." >> thank you, we do. >> thank you. straight ahead, democrats going

nuclear, stripping republicans of the power to block the presidential nominations. actually anybody in the minority party. but is it just a distraction from obamacare? charles krauthammer is here to break it all down. plus, how does a camel cream cup cake sound? sandra lee is cook up treats that will have your guests begging for more. yum. ♪ ♪ mine was earned orbiting the moon in 1971.

congratulations. i love the book and you did an hour on radio on top of that. >> congratulations on your book. >> thank you very much. >> challenging me right up there. >> i am not challenging you. i wish. but charles, first things first. i was interested to see your comments yesterday. you're gleeful about this move by the democrats to get all these nominees passed with 51 votes. why? >> because for them, this is a short-term gain and it's a huge long-term risk. look, the democrats are right now in a kind of swoon. they're likely to lose the senate next year. i think they're also likely to lose the white house in 2016. if the republicans have control of the white house and the congress, they will be able to push through they're nominees. they will accept the new rules and the democrats will rue the day. and right now the democrats in this change of rule have said they're going to exclude supreme court nominees, but charles grassley said yesterday in the

debate, the republican senator said when we get into power, we're going to include supreme court nominees. and the most likely retiree is ginsburg, who is on the liberal side. and that will allow the republicans to put in a conservative with great ease and no support from democrats. >> so you're playing chess, looking three moves ahead. >> absolutely. >> but they're not dumb. harry reid is not dumb. he knows we got him on tape in 2005 and obama. >> not dumb, but desperate. they're in such trouble with obamacare and it is a rolling story they can't escape that it's really going to hurt them over the next year. they're looking for anything short-term, a, to distract, as you said, and b, as a way to gain something, something on their agenda to satisfy the base. >> the message inside the white house, most liberal columnist, and juan williams can't tell us everything, is hold tight. hold firm. we're going to get the web site straightened out. people are going to have success stories to tell. hang in there. marco rubio, among the people who says, not only shouldn't

they hang in there, this thing is going to collapse within eight weeks. where are you? >> i think that the ultimate repudiation of obama and his kind of extremely ideological and ambitious liberalism essentially nationalizes a sixth of the economy with health care, the ultimate repudiation is not if republicans are the ones would repeal it, but democrats. you got 15 democrats in the senate who have to be reelected, who are scared to death and the defections are going to begin to either repeal it or amend it in ways that are completely going to undermine it will come from democrat. >> your column is about iran. the column says it's up to the gop about filling the void with a plan that would fix this, not sitting back and watching this thing implode. where do you stand on it? >> i don't think the republicans have to remake a sixth of the

economy. it isn't how conservatives operate. the entire conception of redoing american health care is a liberal one. i think our approach, speak as a conservative, ought to be to look at the discreet issues and promise to attack them in a very focused way. so we don't have to replace obamacare. we have to get rid of it, but it will be democrats who do it, and then we're going to address the problem of the uninsured, of the preconditions, and stuff like that, which can be done discreetly, without revolutionizing how care is delivered to everybody. >> so tell everyone what you would do when you get in power. >> exactly. >> stay right there because we're going to talk more. 18 minutes before the top of the hour. he was one of the most inspiring leaders of our time. but would jfk be a democrat today? charles krauthammer was a democrat. he sticks around for more. by the way, he's not any^. >> no plus, it's one of the most anticipated movie releases of the year.

obviously it's a partisan crowd. charles clear more favorite. >> i paid them off in advance. >> you sold over 30,000 books last year. nobody better i could get a perspective on about jfk than you. you were politically aware at the time. you were a democrat when you started in the business. jfk, we're listening to things like this and we think maybe he would have been a republican. listen. >> restrictive tax rates will never produce enough revenues to balance our budget, just as it will never produce enough jobs or enough profits. >> statements like that make people think that maybe he would have been a conservative. >> you know, what's happened is the parties have shifted over these decades. i write in the book one of the reasons why i shifted is because on foreign policy, the democrats changed. i didn't. jfk in his inaugural address, he pledged we will bear any burden in the defense of liberty.

he was a very strong anti-communist, like truman, and that tradition of the democrats being really tough on the soviets, strong for national defense, withered away after the vietnam war. so he would have been what's called today either republican or conservative on foreign affairs. so it was a huge shift in the party and that's why i think jfk today would have been in terms of foreign affairs, a conservative. and on domestic affairs, a tax cutter. >> who we know a lot of this legislation was bottled up. we also know he had to criticize eisenhower to win and nona close election and before he took office, he flew to meet with eisenhower as if to say i have to meet with the republicans as well. and he grew in office. admitted when he was wrong and actually improved towards the end. or am i just looking at a historian's point of view. >> i think that's absolutely true. one of the lessons that the president today could learn is

how jfk handled the bay of pigs. it was a catastrophe. jfk went right out there immediately afterward and said, i'm the one responsible. no one else. and he actually wasn't. it was sort of a legacy of the eisenhower administration, but he didn't, like our president, blame the predecessor. he took the fall and his ratings shot up as a result. >> you know where it gets heart break, bret baier drills you with it. you said for the first time since you played baseball, you were able to keep score. you're winning, number one in the "new york times" list. you're beating "killing jesus." i wouldn't you are a competitive guy. >> if you're a columnist, you get graded on the curve. but selling books, they keep score, you get numbers every day. >> you love it. >> it's like a basketball game. i'm in a corner, the clock is running down and i go for the three-point shot. >> you even charged jon stewart. good job. congratulations.

the book is excellent. that's the other thing. thanks so much. i'll talk to you on radio. coming up straight ahead, the second helping of "hunger games" hits theaters this weekend. will it be as good as the first one? will it make as much money? the man who watches movies and then puts an expense reports in, kevin mccarthy. >> see it.

this weekend, which starts today, one of the most anticipated movie releases of the year, "hunger games" catching fire opens. >> right. here to review that and so much more, kevin mccarthy. the founder of nerdtears.com.

kevin, everyone is going regardless. what are they going to se morni. you guys are awesome. thank you for having me. catching fire -- the first movie made $691 million in the box office. we're predicting this new movie to beat the november opening box office record which is held by twilight: new moon at $142 million. this is expected to make over $160 million this weekend. it picks up where the first movie left off. catnis and pita are competing where donald sutherland's character has asked past victors -- he forces them to participate in the new hunger game and it's an incredible, incredible thought-provoking adventure film. it transcends that teenage genre. this expands out to an extreme mass appeal in regards to thought-provoking concepts about our society and celebrities. i feel like jennifer lawrence is incredible. here is the key, the arena

sequences are shot with full blown 70-millimeter imax cameras. when you're watching the movie, the movie expands, from wide screen to full frame during the i marks shot. it goes back and forth it's an incredible experience. i gave it 4 1/2 out of five. worth seeing in imax. if you want to tweet me, tweet me your zip code and i'll respond and tell where you your closest i marks theater is. i gave it 4 1/2 out of five. not as good adds the first one, but still very good. >> he'll do it himself. >> i will help you guys out. it is an incredible experience. i love the first one 'cause i loved the characters. incredible film. >> what about "nebraska." >> this is shot in black and white, cinemascope, directed by the guy who did "sideways".

this character is an older man who receives a letter that he won a million dollars. his family knows it's a scam. but his son and him go on a road trip o claim the money in nebraska. it's a very interesting movie, a simple, yet very complex movie as well. bruce dern is one of the front runners to be nominated for best actor. he's absolutely incredible. it's a sweet movie. you will feel great when you leave the theater. i love movies like that. i gave it 4 1/2 out of five. >> wow. that looks terrific. >> if you can't get in to "hunger games," go to that. >> when does "gravity" come out? >> that and "captain phillips" are the only movies i've given a five. i'm look forward to being on your show, brian. >> kevin, thanks for our weekend jump start there. >> thanks. >> you bet. >> coming up, we've been talk

being the democrats going nuclear, but is this just one big distraction from obamacare? are they being hypocrites? geraldo rivera says yes. he's here at the top of the hour. >> hello, geraldo.

dramatically reduce our nation's debt... grow the economy by 5.4% ... and take bold steps to secure our borders. on this, both parties say they agree: democrats... we are very very strongly in favor of moving immigration reform... and republicans... we do want to make some progress in reforming our broken immigration system... and yet, we wait... americans are tired of empty rhetoric. it is time for every leader to come through on their promise... and fix our broken immigration system tell congress: the time is now. fix america's broken immigration system.

>> i'm not sure that i'm looking at a stand alone star. no. >> wow. simon, you nearly screwed everything up, chris daughtry here live to perform with his band. >> because he won "american idol." >> no, he didn't. he was a finalist that should have won. >> he won in my mind. >> yeah. he'll be coming up in closing our show. but he's the third most successful idol ever. "fox & friends," unless steve has something else to interject -- >> i'm done. wrap it up. it is a rainy day here in new york city and it is gray as well in washington, d.c there you can see the eternal flame lit 50 years ago this

week. it was 50 years ago today that john f. kennedy was shot. according to the warren commission, by lee harvey oswald in dealey plaza. we have peter johnson, jr. there in a little while. it's been lighted ever since for the last 50 years. >> that's right. and we have heather nauert who is here. we'll be looking to her for some headlines. >> good morning. an update on a tragic story we first told but earlier today. this morning new questions are being requested about how a mom drove her car into a frigid pond in minnesota, leaving two children dead. this happened in st. louis park, just outside minneapolis. the driver was 23-year-old marian. but also in the car, two of her children and three of her stepchildren. she and two of the children made it out alive. >> i saw them bring the woman out of the water and then i saw some smaller ones coming out.

they were being carried. i thought oh, no. i really hope they're going to be okay. >> so awful. you can see right there that pond that her car went into yesterday. police say it disappeared, but this is all a horrible accident. real tragedy there. kennedy cousin michael skakel is not wake up in a jail cell for the first time in 11 years. he's now free on $1.2 million bond as prosecutors appeal a ruling that would give him a new trial in the 1975 murder of his teenage neighbor, martha mocksly. last month a judge ruled his original attorney failed to adequately represent him. one of hollywood's biggest stars, hugh jackman, revealing he has skin cancer. the actor tweeted this selfy. you can see his nose bandaged up. then he went on it say his wife, she said, to get the mark on my nose checked. boy was she right.

a photo shows a small mark, as you can see on the bridge his nose. thank goodness for his wife. the vice president may need a bailout of his own. he tried to pay for lunch, but was a little short on cash. >> 56.25. >> all right, man. you got ten bucks? i got 50. >> so here is what was going on. joe biden was at the grand opening of a new hoagie shop and racked up a 56-dollar order. but he was short on the cash, so he had to borrow ten bucks from his aide. and those are your headlines at this hour. no wonder there are problems. >> mr. big tipper, you got a 56-dollar bill and he's going to give the person a 3.75 tip? >> inadequate. >> it is! >> the richest guy i know never has any money. never. >> what rich guy do you know?

>> my friend, leo. >> do you have a pay everything? >> everything. for the last 43 years. >> rich people are expected to pick up the tab all the time. >> i think celebrities are. famous people. >> like steve. >> like geraldo. >> you would think a budget would be a somewhat important topic. >> a budget? are you speaking federally? >> exactly. >> he's running a definite sit at subway. >> i want my wife to have a holiday budget, that lists the names of your people. >> we're going to send dave ramsey to your house. >> yeah. >> let's talk about this, for over 200 years, it's been a cuss testimony where they've -- you need -- for a while it was you needed two-thirds of the senate to go ahead and approve a judicial nominee. then it was reduced to 60. yesterday harry reid blew up the nuclear option and now you need a simple majority just like the

house. >> what's your reaction? >> charles krauthammer says this will come back to haunt the democrats. >> certainly will come back to haunt. i mean, you have to remember, flashback it was the democrats who were doing all the obstructing, alleged obstructing. it wasn't ailed. they were obstructing the first bush term clearly, everything was being blocked. there was such bitterness in the democratic party. and probably for good reason, some historians say. >> we've got video to back up what you just said. >> why don't you toss to the video. >> let's have a flashback. let's flashback not to 2,000, but around 2005 or so, young senator from illinois. >> don't give away too much. >> here he is, barak obama. >> they don't expect is for one party, be it republican or democrat, to change the rules in the middle of the game so that they can make all the decisions while the other party is told to sit down and keep quiet. >> i say to my friends on the

republican side, you may own the field right now, but you won't own it forever. and i pray god when the democrats take back control, we don't make the kind of naked power grab you are doing. >> oops. >> and a naked power grab it was yesterday. >> you know, there is no excluding of hypocrisy in washington. clearly do you it when you have the opportunity to do it. but what this does, elisabeth, this is why i think it's very serious for everybody -- this absolutely blows away any possibility of bipartisanship. >> absolutely. >> the reason you needed 60 votes is the assumption that you had to get some support from the other party across the aisle to get your legislation or your person, you know, forwarded. now you don't need that anymore. now you can do it as obamacare was. >> clearly a distraction because now all of a sudden, they blow a gasket, they have to get all these nominees passed? yesterday?

this is a distraction from obamacare. >> it clearly is that, but that's a brilliant political ploy. we haven't talked about obamacare in 24 hours. >> oh, yes we have. you've been watching. >> i've been asleep. but not nearly as much. it has not -- it's not the front story on the "new york times" stage today. >> don't give them a break. >> i really think that in brute political terms, this was a brilliant ploy. the short-term will help the democrats and what happens, what goes around, comes around. when the republicans are in control, the democrats will lament this day. >> so now let's talk about oprah winfrey. i'm going to let elisabeth throw this at you because you loved elisabeth's comment yesterday that put -- >> that wasn't to demean yours. i wasn't suggesting that yours was any less thoughtful. >> you pushed me aside and commented on elisabeth. >> if you missed yesterday's show. >> we were discussing oprah, who was on record saying that

dissenters were racist when it came to specifically joe wilson when it came to anyone speak out against the president when he shouted out, he's lying. and then she was receiving an award at the white house just recently after that. >> medal of freedom. >> seeming to be rewarded for some comments irked a bunch of people. and is racism really what should be being thrown around at this point? >> what i loved about what you said yesterday, elisabeth, was that racism can easily be diluted. it's almost a sacred term. when you're talking about a racist, you're really talking about someone who hates someone because of the color of their skin, who wants to pass laws because of the color of someone's skin. does this advantage someone to persecute someone, to harm physically someone or mentally? when you start throwing that around, bandying that around, you do dilute it and that i thought was the brilliance of your remark. i love oprah. my wife's favorite person on earth aside from me and her children -- i i mean her

daughter and family and brian is oprah. we were very proud to be with her when she did the end of her show and all the rest of that. but oprah, being rewarded, that's where i take some -- i distance myself somewhat because i don't think there is a cause and effect. oprah is the first billionaire black woman on the history of the planet. she's done a lot of good with her -- >> she would not be a billionaire if this were a racist nation. >> that is absolutely true. but i don't think that they got the presidential medal of freedom because she covered barak obama's behind. >> president obama got more white votes than jimmy carter, clinton, mondale. >> true. but there is one thing and we all have to be adults about this, there is no doubt that race and politics, there is a a definite, race plays a disturbing role in american politics. one party is the party of all the black people, almost all the brown people, almost all the asian people.

the other party is the party of almost all the white people. i think that's a reality. >> are you saying the republican party, a reality, is that it's racist? >> no, i'm not -- i think that race can -- there is no doubt that race helps define the political parties in this country that is an inescapable truth. when 98% of one race votes for one person, there is a racial aspect in that. >> it's not just on one side either. it's used by politicians throughout elections. >> i am not suggesting evil. i am only suggesting that there is something going on that we have to be very deeply aware of and guard against slipping into. and this is where probably we'll got into trouble, i think that some of the birther nonsense has a racial tinge that gives me the willies. i mean -- >> i think we're past that. >> when you saw kenya and barak

hussein, you're starting to give me the creeps. i guard against that. but i think that trayvon martin is not emmitt til. oprah was wrong in that. she was wrong to overstate racialism and i think that we have to guard against it, use it when ities. the kkk, there is the haters out there, let's be sure we differentiate them from political activism. >> great. >> geraldo rivera, always a pleasure. >> thank you. i try to -- >> you got real close. >> not an easy topic. >> it's not an easy topic. >> straight ahead, do you remember where you were when president john f. kennedy was shot 50 years ago today in dallas? we're going to go down to dealey plaza coming up next. then they've had tons of number one hits and this morning daughtry here live to perform for us. >> the whole band. >> the whole band.

it shook the nation to its core and now 50 years later to the day, americans are gathering down in dallas, texas, to remember the day that president john f. kennedy was assassinated. >> peter johnson, jr. now joins us live from dallas. peter, what's around you today? >> good morning, brian. six seconds and three shots later, 50 years ago today, america's heart was broken. dealey plaza behind me became the most investigated public square in our history and the site of our national horror. today it becomes a site of solemn remembrance, ghoulish, painted white x's that once marked the murder location have been taken away by the city of dallas.

as if to forever exorcist the undeserved stain of guilt. so it should be. jfk the hero of pt 109, humiliated the bay of pigs and staring russia nukes down in cuba, the doting father, the complex and unfaithful husband waved to the crowds one last time. the magnetic hope, the handsome youth, he promised with each broad smile on elm street that day a new american future, larger than party, politician, or platform. seemingly the dream died hard here as oswald shocked the families who came to see the president. america wept and the world seemed to stop. in the solomon islands, a man who helped receiptsist rescue

him, stared at his photo and cried. those in england rows to sing the star spangled barn. and more than half americans cried bitterly, as if a loved one had been taken from their own family. time has proven that john kennedy the great grandson of an irish catholic immigrant was a man with faults, who won a close and even disputable election, but his impact on america is indisputable. leaders who die young are often assigned the role inspirer and he was inspirer in chief. we are proud to live his tenets of american exceptionalism as if the founders spoke them. that is americans we should ask not that it is our duty to pay any price and to bear any burden. that is our birthright that changed the world and his death did. 40,000 books written about him, maybe as many institutions named

after him. in spite of the tragedy that unfolded here 50 years ago in dallas, we remember more of the winning confidence of our tragic hero, john f. kennedy, who even in his rendezvous with death will always inspire all americans to understand that the best days of america are really still ahead of us. brian, steve, elisabeth. >> peter johnson, jr., live in dealey plaza in downtown dallas. peter, great observations. you and i were alive 50 years ago today. and that's how i remember it, the way you suggested. that half the people in the country cried as if a member of their own family had been murdered. you were absolutely right. >> i remember seeing my own family, you probably did, too. we commemorate it on this wintery day, rainy day, in dallas. >> thanks, peter. >> thank you.

>> so i had an internship on "fox & friends" a year ago and i'm from dc, so i had something lined up where i could stay at someone's house and it fell through. i didn't want to start something and didn't finish it, so i decided to commute on the mega bus every single day for four hours to new york and then four hours back to d.c it was tough, i was tired, but i wanted to do it because i really liked fox and i wanted to work here. >> sarah, i know you overcame some fear, right? >> at this. >> you couldn't tell. >> yeah, for me this program was a lot about overcoming fear and gaining confidence to be able to speak in front of a room full of people or be on camera and present to mr. ailes at a luncheon. so once you start doing those types of things, you realize everyone is human and we all have fears that we had to overcome. and doing it together, like steven said, it was a great experience with the four of us. we just formed a friendship. so we gave each other that boost

at times when we needed it most. it was a really rewarding experience. >> you have all grown very close and i think that's something that a lot of people should know about this program. it's so special. what many people don't know is that you all had a job on top of your apprentice responsibilities. now, terrell, what did you learn about team work? >> like sarah just said, we all gave each other that extra boost. so throughout the program, i worked on overnight shifts and we had a monthly diversity packages that we had to produce. so working with these guys was great because at times when i couldn't like write a script, joanna or steve or sarah would jump in and pull video and write the script for me if i was already gone for the day. but team work, it's a very -- what's the word? it was a great thing with this group because we all sacrificed and, like, joanna gave more of her time and sarah gave more of her time and steven and myself. so it was a really good

teamwork. >> even at ther stages. why weather do you see yourself, because of this program, five to ten years from now? >> i want to still be here at fox working with a great team in the field operations department. we're going out, getting the material and the stories. i see myself continue to learn and growing in this company. this has been a dream come true. i'm on my dream job already. >> hopefully like the senior vice president of development or something. that's my goal. >> what about you? >> my goal is to hopefully become an executive producer of one of fox news' programs in the next ten years. work my way up from a p.a., a.p., line producer, and then hopefully executive producer. >> bright future there. sarah? >> one great thing is we got to try out so many different things, so being on air producing. so right now i work in the new media department. it's about combining on air and the web and seeing where that goes and how that's going to be

the future. >> wait. >> what an incredible opportunity. congratulations to you all. >> thank you. >> it's been great to talk to you and get to know you. >> thanks. >> next year, the ailes apprentice program will be entering its tenth year. to learn more about the program or to see some of the work that the apprentices have put together, they're exceptional -- visit our web site at foxnews.com/ailesapprentice. thanks again. mar where can, that was -- maria, that was great. what a program. coming up, this just in, another delay for obamacare. enrollment for next year already pushed back. what is going on? chris wallace has answers up next. chris daughtry up next. you're not going to want to miss it. ♪ ♪ mine was earned orbiting the moon in 1971.

it's part of this crazy new plan called the way things used to be. >> it is. and it is very familiar. that's the way life used to be. can't you get that on e insurance now? >> you would think so. you know what? this weekend on sundays we watch chris wallace doing fox news sunday. good morning to you. i got a feeling you're going to be talking about the affordable care act this weekend. >> before i say that, i just want to make one point, having seen the interview that maria and elisabeth did with those graduates of the ailes apprentice program. be very nice to them. we're all going to be working for them in a few years. >> you are on point for sure. >> chris, let me just tell you what came across. it's been confirmed by our desk. they plan to delay the start of the second year enrollment until after the midterm election.

so they're pushing it back. >> i think it's a coincidence. what are you suggesting, brian? >> the indonation reveal -- indonation reveal anything? >> i don't know, because i'm hearing it as you're hearing it. here is the interesting thing. if obamacare continues on the path it's on, which is that all the sicker, older people who really need this are going to sign up for it, but a lot of the younger, healthier people are not going to sign up for it, when the insurance companies have to do their reviews and analyze their premiums for the second year, they may, if the risk pool is out of whack in that sense, have to raise their premiums dramatically. would you want that information before people go to vote or after people go to vote? >> yeah. it's interesting because it had been -- it was supposed to take place october 15. now they've moved it back after the election. you start putting these things together.

you also saw the liberal commentators who went to the white house for that closed door meeting with the president. you see the nuclear option being exercised there in the u.s. senate. are these things all connected to the stinking rollout of this thing? >> stinking roll out. we don't need no stinking batches. i'm not sure -- i think clearly meeting with members of the press and they met with some conservative members of the media a couple of weeks ago, obviously this white house knows that they're in trouble and they have to try to explain things and try to win people overment i'm not so convinced about the nuclear option. i know some people think that was trying to change the subject. but it isn't. yes, it's a headline in the papers today. but it will be forgotten by the weekend. it's a two-day story. next week you really think we're going to be talking about the nuclear option? no. we're going to be talking about obamacare and we're going to be talking about the new deadline that the president and the administration have set, which is november 30th. first they said it's going to be working fine by

november 30th. then they said well, it will be working fine for the vast majority. then they said, the majority and my guess is by the middle of next week, it will be -- take the chances. >> sure. chris, the nuclear option, will invoking it actually come back to bite the democrats? >> sure. i mean, what it's saying is that the majority ought to rule. i happen to think to some degree that's a good idea. i think if george bush is the president and there is a republican majority and they want to try to get -- he wants to try to appoint somebody to the cabinet or to a traditional position, unless it's an extraordinarily bad choice, it shouldn't take a super majority for the president to pick the people he wants. having said that, the pendulum swings and clearly at some point there will be a republican president and a republican senate and they'll do the same thing. at this point, there is a carveout. it doesn't include legislation and it doesn't include the supreme court nominees. those are still subject to super

majorities. that's a slippery slope. that will change, too. >> yeah, right. if you change the rules, you don't have any rules. and they're doing this right now just for the appointments. it's just a matter of time until they say, you know what? sorry, we're going to have to use that nuclear option on this, too. they came close on the affordable care act. >> yeah. that's right. and there is no question that's going to work. i think a there was a real frustration in the senate over this and there have been a lot of filibusters of obama nominees. and look, the republican -- it's also a case of classic hypocrisy because right now, the democrats are defending it president republicans are saying it's going to destroy the senate. but when the republicans almost invoked the nuclear option, it was the republicans who said that we have to do this and it was the democrats who were saying it was going to destroy the country. so it's purely a question of what situation -- if you're in the minority, you don't like this idea. if you're the majority, it's pretty good idea. >> the big difference is, of

course, they did it and the others were just threats. now it's done. it's game on for next year. when i talked to you yesterday on the radio, you would not reveal who your guests were. suddenly things have changed. >> not so much. >> you're going to tell us one, aren't you? >> senator bob corker! >> yes, we'll have bob corker, senator from tennessee. but you were actually told not to ask me because we're still in the process of booking. but we know what we're going to talk about. thanks, brian. >> i'm like the howard stern in the morning n did i mention that charles krauthammer and bill o'reilly have great new books out? >> absolutely. >> we're going to be talking about obamacare. talking about the nuclear option. and there is also the possibility of a deal on iran's nuclear program, a real nuclear program. so we'll be talking about all of that and thank you so much for asking, brian. , hey, it's going to be great fun. >> i want to be sure your show is successful.

>> tune in sunday. >> as long as chris is there, i'm watching. >> i like the anticipation. we know chris is there. that's the best. thanks, chris. and heather nauert, hello. >> good morning to you. brian always messing things up. but we got headlines to bring. brand-new 911 calls just leased from the day a school bus was hijacked. remember this story with 11 children on board? this happened in jacksonville, arkansas. one of the moms describes what happened at that bus stop. listen. >> he has knife. and he just got on the bus and the bus driver looked at me and i started calling 911. >> now that bus driver is speaking out about how she handled getting those kids safely off the bus. >> he said, how do you open this door? i said that green light right there. and when he went to punch the button, i grabbed the babies and said let's go. >> let's go. that's for sure. 22-year-old nicholas miller led police on a chase for nearly ten
