question. how many ways can you get fox channel? answer? more and more ways every single day. this is a fox news alert. "duck dynasty" star phil robertson will return to the show. a&e announcing it will this is a fox news alert. phil robertson will return to the a and e show. you have any scoop on this reversal? >> we just got this scoop about an hour ago from the a&e network saying the suspension from just nine days ago has been lifted and he will be back and they will resume shooting of the

reality show. this doesn't come as a surprise. swiftly, they said they didn't tolerate his statements of homosexuality when he made them in a "gq" article. and then there was uproar from both sides of the spectrum, supporters of phil robertson and those who said phil robertson was intolerant and had to be punished. during that time, a&e had to take in their business interests that duck dynasty is the number one rated show, over 10 million viewers and number one rated show and we knew it was only time from a business aspect phil would be taken back in time. it is very interesting because in it they still say they do not tolerate his views and distance themselves from his views on homosexuality and will be starting a psa campaign to promote tolerance and unity and acceptance. it seems while they're letting

him back on the show, they're also saying we still don't agree with his personal point of view. >> given the "gq" magazine interview happened quite a while ago and it wasn't until the magazine hit the stands there was actually any action taken by a&e, could one be forgiven for being cynical for the poise to begin with? >> they stated inequivocally they do not in any way promote or endorse his view as stated in "gq" article. however, when you look at the teeth of their so-called suspension, there really wasn't much to it. while they suspended him, they weren't shooting anything at the time. they were on a break and had several episodes in the can for the series that doesn't start until january. in a lot of ways the suspension was symbolic because in practical terms it really had no

impact on the actual production of the show. >> what do you think will then happen when they come back -- back -- a&e continued with the duck dynasty marathon during the holidays. do you think this whole controversy will actually end up increasing their ratings going forward? >> i think it raised a lot of awareness. if you didn't know who the guys from duck dynasty were nine days ago you certainly do now. at the end of the day, the decision do reinstate phil robertson was a business decision. they are clearly stating in the statement they released just this afternoon that they do not tolerate what he said. this is a show and they're trying to remind us even in the statement it's a show about family and that's what they want to focus on. looks like they're trying to move on from this. one very important point though we have heard from a&e we have not yet heard from phil robertson or any else in the family and don't know if they're on board with this. phil has his own point of view on a lot of things not just

homosexuality and we're not sure if they're on board with everything the network put out. >> they sure have a lot of fans that hope the show will continue and can move on and do their thing. that's true. >> ken, thank you so much. now, to american veterans who fought for their country, now, nay are fighting a battle on capitol hill. the new bipartisan budget cuts backs certain benefits for veteran retirees and fighting against those cuts. >> it is absolutely wrong to take from our military retirees. >> i can't imagine that we're doing this to the people who stepped forward to serve our country. >> of all the people we could have pick, how could we arrive here? >> they earned this retirement that they receive. >> this is unacceptable. the only battles our military do not fight are the ones here on capitol hill. i'm dana perino in for greta van

susteren. there is >> hello, i'm dana perino. in iq joins us now. first, ryan, let me thank you for your service and for, of course, joining us tonight. what was your reaction when you first heard about these possible cuts, i would imagine you are in a little bit of a state of disbelief that the congress would actually pass something like that. >> well, dana, honestly, i was a little disheartened more than anything else that this would be a the topic that they want to start cutting for budget savings with. there are plenty of ways we can save money in our federal budget, and this is not the way we, you know, thank our troops for their service. >> some people might say well, look, it's a cut back, minus 1% in the cost of living adjustment. and then when you turn 62, you get all of that money back. is that a good enough explanation for you? >> well, it would be in some ways if it didn't also effect all those who have been promised a full 20-year retirement as it was originally laid out when

they enlisted or joined. and it also effects those who are medically retired. all those who are served, were wounded in service, and now have to live on that retirement because they can no longer do the job that they have wanted to do for their entire life. >> i think that's a very good point. i wanted to ask you something overall with the government when it comes to america and what it asks of its recruits. do you think that washington overpromises to young people who make a decision to join the military? >> well, i think it's somewhat incumbent upon the recruit to know exactly what benefits are out there for them when they join and what will be order -- offered to them when they leave. i don't think there is any overpromise. in some ways there is kind of a lack of understanding by these recruits to know what's going to happen when they get out of service, when they try to transition back to civilian world. >> right. because i would imagine you you would assume as a recruit that the least your country will do is keep the promises that it made to you when you first decided to join. let me ask you about your

current situation, what you hope to do in the future. because i think it's quite inspiring. >> well, i will continue to add advocate for all veterans. i have been doing this for many years, working with several organizations, including the armed forces foundation as an ambassador for them. i also work with cause, which is providing support for various wounded service members at military installations throughout the country as they are recovering and providing them health and welfare benefits. >> what do you think will -- i don't know if you have any inside scoop as to what might happen when the congress comes back. president obama did sign this bill yesterday, but do you think there is a chance that in the upcoming discussions of the budget that they might try to restore these funds? >> it seems as though there is a lot of support going behind members such as from members such as chairman of house veterans affairs committee, who is pushing very hard to have this aspect repealed and fixed because of the unintended consequences such as those disabled veterans who will be losing portions of their

retirement that they so desperately need. there has been bipartisan support throughout all of congress to try to fix this. brian, let me ask you one last question before you go. do you think that there is waste within the department of defense, that could be cut out that would help maybe pay for this if people were reluctant to cut other places? >> well, you know, without getting too much into the nitty gritty of the budget details. and getting into every aspect of the defense budget, there is waste in every aspect of our government in some way, shape, or form. and there is a need to streamline. and i really don't agree with the concept of hurting our retired service members, when they are trying to transition into a civilian life. and using them as the kind of punching bag to balance our budgets on the backs of. >> well said, ryan, thank you so much. >> thank you, dana. >> and straight ahead, new warnings that obamacare will destroy doctor-patient relationships. what does that mean for your healthcare.

some reporting about some pretty exciting private sector innovations in the sort of tele health market. are there anything that you think in there that is good and exciting for patients aside from being able to go in and see their doctor? >> well, you know, some of the medical schools like east carolina have been way out in the forefront for many years on telemedicine and many of the instruments that we use, the stethoscopes. oat toe -- oto scopes can be used tele metrically so that it can actually bring better healthcare to people in remote areas. the danger, of course, is that we begin to substitute these things for the real personal interactions. this is where the problem occurs. and if you are going to have less physicians and more patients, that's actually going to exacerbate the situation rather than make it better so i am in no way opposed to the advances in medicine. i mean, that's who we are, the innovators as i was told

when i was in a socialist country and they said if you guys become like us, who is going to be the innovators in medicine. but we still are and we want to main taint edge that we have. but, it's going to require people to be willing to actually sit down and talk rather than dictate. >> you say that one of the things that you noticed as a doctor is that say you got to know me. i was your patient. and i came in with one complaint and you recognized that there might be something else going on. there is no way to really do that over the internet. >> no. no. you can't do that there have been many, many times when i would have a patient that would come in. they might have a mild shouldn't problem. something that carries fluid from the head to another part of the body they weren't quite themselves. that would not be something i would know unless i spent significant time interacting with them. we need to make sure that he that we maintain those kind

of things particular whether i people with complex diseases. when we have a program that doesn't allow you to keep your doctor, somebody who has established that relationship with you for a very long time, you are losing a the lo. and it could endanger your life. >> what should the government's role be then? because we know that people are concerned about their health insurance, their premiums, maybe their deductible is so high that they think they shouldn't, you know, go to the doctor, is there something that the government can do to try to get people to go back to the doctor? >> well, there is absolutely a role for the government in healthcare it is not the control of people's healthcare. the government can supply a safety net, they can supply healthcare savings accounts they can work with the electronic medical records credit card or in a person's driver's license and not expose to cyberspace so that

that information key roo remains private. they can begin to show some concern about privacy and care of their citizens rather than seeing them as subjects. >> as you travel around and talk to a lot of different people and other doctors, what do you hear about the anxiety people are feeling in regards to their own healthcare or their worries about the future of healthcare under obamacare? >> well, i'm hearing a lot of anxiety, not only from patients, but from the physicians as well. because, you know, they didn't sign up to become government employees. and december these are very very smart people. but as far as the patients are concerned they are concerned about being able to have the same kind of access that they had before, remember, that before all of this started, you know, 75 to 85% of people were quiet happy and quiet satisfied with the care that they were getting. to upset the whole appear cart, for those who were not

doesn't make sense, to address their needs makes a tremendous amount of sense. and there are a lot of ways that those needs can be addressed. and all it would take, really is a little bit of humility isn't that what this country was built on and somehow we seem to have forgotten that if we can get back to it, i think we can again begin to make forward progress. >> i wanted to ask you about innovation because one of those most important things are bringing in new medical students into the system. do you sense any reluctance amongst young people who thought they might want to go to medical school who maybe now are deterred from that because they are not sure what that future would mean and all the debt that you incur when going through medical school? >> sure. i have talked to a lot of young people who have expressed that concern. i was talking to a young man just recently who now is in law school who was planning to become a doctor.

blue i try to encourage all the young people that i see. i hope everybody will. because, you know, we do not want to be in a situation down the road where we have this tremendous dearth of medical talent. we want people who are smart and innovative to go into medicine. and their hope is is that we will come up with something that actually makes sense in the relatively near future. the average person needs to understand that physicians spend an enormous amount of time in training. and it costs an enormous amount of money. people frequently come out of medical school owing 20300, $400,000. that impacts upon the way that they make choices. these are all things that we need to address because we don't want that going into the future. again, i believe that these are all solvable problems, with a little common sense and take the politics out of medicine. it's too important. >> very wise words. thank you, dr. carson. >> thank you, dana. and coming up, the supreme court is getting

ready to take up obamacare again. at least part of it a closer look at the birth control mandated cases and other major decisions facing the justices in 2014 up next. [ male announcer ] here's a question for you: where does the united states get most of its energy? is it africa? the middle east? canada? or the u.s.? the answer is... the u.s. ♪

most of america's energy comes from right here at home. take the energy quiz. energy lives here.

is president obama abusing his power? that will be the case that the supreme court decides next month the high court will hear arguments about presidential appointment power during senate recesses and then the justices are going to decide whether president obama's recent appointments are constitutional. georgetown law professor nicholas rosenkrantz joins us next. you think it's going to be a big year for the supreme court starting with this case. >> this is a huge case, in

general, when the president makes senior appointments, those folks are supposed to be confirmed by the senate. but there is a bill of an -- bit of an exemption to the exception to the rule if the senate is in session or recess the president can make these appointments the senate does not confirmed if they are not around. what happened here is the senate thought that it was in session. it purported to be in session. it was holding little microsessions and the president said that's not a real session. it doesn't count. so i'm going to go ahead and make these appointments as though you were in recess. >> is that different to what previous presidents have done like i know president bush had some recess appointments. is this the first case of its kind to go to the supreme court? >> well, this is the first time that a president has purported to use the recess appointments power when the senate itself thought that it was in session. >> not in recess. that seems like it should be pretty easy to decide. >> i think it should be nonzero, actually. it's a real overreach. the president has very few

crystal clear restrictions on his power in the constitution and this is one of them. >> all right. the next one that you want to talk about is the hobby lobby case. that's the nickname for it this has to do with obamacare and contraception. what's this case about. >> this is another obamacare case. this is somebody who is objecting to a mandate with within obamacare that requires insurance policies to cover certain kinds of contraception. and these are folks who are a closely held corporation and they object to providing this sort of contraception as a religious matter. and so this brings into conflict some obamacare requirements and this provision of different statutes, the religious freedom restoration act. so, generally, this is bringing into attention the rights of conscience of these folks and these new mandates from obamacare. >> has that case been heard yet by the court.

>> no. that's coming up. >> do you have any prediction on how that will go or do you want to hear the arguments first? >> actually, it's quite a complicated case and there are strands to it i think the important principle at stake is the more and more the federal government gets its hands on the smaller there is room for individual conscience and individual liberty. these are new problems that are created by the overreaching federal government. >> and you may have given bill o'reilly his word of the day for monday. i think this is the first time doctrinal strands has been mentioned on fox news channel. the third one is about affirmative action. this case has been working its way through for quite a while. finally the supreme court will decide it? >> this case is truly bizarre. in michigan, a constitutional amendment of the michigan constitution would forbid affirmative action. so forbid preferences on the basis of race, forbid discrimination on the basis of race.

and bizarrely, the sixth circuit held that that constitutional amendment actually violates the federal equal protection clause. so, here is michigan actually requiring equal treatment on the basis of race and the sixth circuit says no, that violates the equal protection clause. it's turned the equal protection clause on its head a strange result. >> it's almost backwards. you said the previous case might be a 9-0. this one what do you think? >> i think this one should be 9-0. but i think it probably won't. i can imagine that it will be closer to 7-2. i certainly don't think the sixth circuit opinion can stand. i think the michigan constitutional amendment will be fine. >> so if you were a fan of the supreme court, 2014 is going to be a big year? >> this is a great term. very interesting cases. great year to be a constitutional law professor. >> exactly. your students probably love it. >> they do. >> okay. great. nick thanks for joining us. >> good to be with you. >> holiday season coming to

should just be able to move forward without having the deficit reduction. >> right. and i think there is a third argument which is is that you hear from conservatives and libertarians which is that long-term unemployment benefits often cause long-term unemployment, not only help the people who are among the long-term unemployed by giving them incentives to stay on government assistance rather than getting out and looking for work. i think we are hearing that argument made more and more these days as the economy seems to be picking up. >> there was dissidents in the president's press conference a week ago today when he spent the first several minutes touting that the growing and strengthening economy and then immediately shifted towards a call for another extension of these benefits. so i think you are going to see a louder voices on the republican side making that argument. >> susan, one of the things that the democrats touted in the budget deal from last month, the ryan murray deal was that there was deficit reduction in it. when it comes to trying to fix the spending problems in

washington, any time they take a little step towards actually doing that there is lots of havoc reeked back in their districts. do you think that's going to have an impact going into their decision-making next month? >> absolutely. first of all, it's been extended 11 times and at a cost of more than $250 billion. it's a lot of money. if you don't pay for it it's adding to the debt and the deficit which we're on the hook now for about $17 trillion and climbing. so, there is an argument to be made that this has to be paid for. on the other hand, a lot of these members represent people who are going to suffer because they are not going to be getting their unemployment checks. people in nevada and illinois, for instance, they are going to lose 30 odd weeks, 40 odd weeks of unemployment checks if the federal government doesn't extend. this that's a lot of money for people out of work. as steve said, you know, this isn't going on and on and there is an argument to be made if we keep extending them make people less likely to look for work or find a job.

there is a lot of pressure as you say on lawmakers to do something about. this yet, on the other hand, people want deficit reduction, people want the government to control spending. but, you can't have it both ways. >> rick, your observation was that this is not a red state, blue state problem. this is a national problem. >> that's right. if you look at who is being impacted by this, it is urban areas, it's rural areas, it's around the country. it's about the economy in individual places. i think a lot of of times you look at these numbers and you realize people are trying to get work again. because, in places where the economy is booming again, like in north dakota, for instance, there is almost no one on this long-term unemployment. no one is impacted by that other parts of the country that have had trouble in this economy has been quite a different story. this is a, as susan mentioned, this is the big argue: this is what we are talking about when we talk about deficit reduction. it has to be services at some level. it has to be things that people depend upon. folks getting cut off right now have been depending on this for some time it pays for clothing and housing and food. it matters, and it matters to folks who want to cut the deficit as well.

that is why this is going to be a big argument in 2014. income inequality. this in particular. >> especially getting people back to work into good jobs. panel, we want to get your opinions on something totally different now. the most embarrassing political tweets of 2013, and, of course, there were some very memorable ones. rick, we will got other way. rick, let's start with you. your favorite political tweet of the year? >> i have to go. i have got a soft spot in my heart for chuck grassley the iowa senator. is he 80 years old god bless him. it shows on twitter. he tweeted the letter u. it's prompt add whole range of options to complete that phrase. what's great about senator grassley i interviewed him about his tweets a couple of months ago, he doesn't care about the pockets. his staff cares. he doesn't care because this is what he he does and says. he has clumsy fingers and let's it all out there. people have a lot of fun if the twitter verse with that whether it's embarrassing, good fodder for f and rest of us to keep our keyboard

locked. one tweet away franklin county fired. >> indeed. >> susan, let me ask you, you had a good one, i liked this one. well, the valerie jarrett tweet came out on october 28th where she declared obamacare does not force anybody off their insurance plan and no change is required for under the new law. and,, this is at the end of october where thousands and thousands of people have already received cancellation notices. again, the problem with twitter and politicians is that now it is there in writing to be retweeted and cut and pasted over and over again where it just signals denial about the healthcare law and it signals sort of a lack of accountability that the republicans will be able to use and associate with the president when they go on and on about the healthcare law in 2014. for me, that was the most damaging tweet of 2013. >> twitter sometimes does not give -- allow for context and nuances depending on what she meant. >> no. >> all right, steve, what about you? >> susan's was a lot better

than mine. it was more relevant and i think more pointed. i had a similar idea. i went back and looked at some of the tweets that were coming out of white house communication shop. in the early days of obamacare, october 1st, october 2nd, october 3rd. what you heard from the white house at the time was, what problems? there aren't real problems. we have a ton of people visiting the web site. everything is going to be fine with obamacare, then you fast forward and see the kind of tweets that susan mentions and ones even later where they own up on the white house twitter feed or on various white house twitter feeds to the problems that they had just been denying even existed. so i think that's probably because of the prominence of obamacare as a political issue in 2013 and going forward. probably the most significant one for me. >> rick, do you think it's smart, if you were advising democratic or republican candidates in 2014, do you think they should do their own tweets? >> i think only if they have the utmost self-control. if i was a staff working for a campaign i would say please put that thing await a minute then again we have seen people to use it to

great effect. cory booker volted himself in that national prominence. he used it well. he had awkward exchanges at times particularly with one adult film star he was in a documentary with so you have to be careful there, too. if i'm working with someone i'm saying i'm sorry candidate x. please give me your phone before you start running. >> steve, do you think it's possible in the upcoming election year that we could actually see somebody's candidacy doomed because of a tweet? >> yeah, no question. i mean, there is always a temptation if you spend any time on twitter at all, there is always a temptation particularly in the context of a heated political debate to tweet something that might signal some level of intemp presence or some level of anger at a time when you shouldn't do it. there is a reason that people say take a few minutes before you respond. people who have a fight with their spouse, take a few minutes before you, you know, resume your argument or resume your discussion. there is a reason for that. and what twitter does is it takes that away.

it allows you to respond quickly, often, you know, in funny ways or ways that might seem funny at the time and later less funny. >> susan, what the safest thing, let's see if you know the answer to this. what is the safest thing that somebody in the politics and media can tweet about? >> policy. it's boring. but it's safe. i mean, twitter is permanent. it's unedited. and it can ruin your career in 140 characters. >> i thought you grping to say your dog because that's what my answer would have been. >> that's a safe one, too. but policy is boring but suspects safe. >> insider also get that opinion pa. thank you so much. straight ahead organizing for action says that republicans should be worried but are they or does the g.o.p. have a big plan for 2014?

so should republicans be worried. organizing for action today democrats are winning. what will happen next week when problem-plagued obamacare officially launches and put up a front. ryan priebus joins us. okay, mr. chairman it should

say that your title is herding cats, which have you been trying to do. you are going into 2014. you have this gift of an issue of obamacare, so what's the plan? >> look. i think it's a gift that keeps on giving all year around as eddy said in christmas vacation. unfortunately because it's bad for this country that it's going to be an issue that isn't going to go away dana, it's only to get worse and keep spiraling. and the beginning is before us. and women don't like it. young people don't like it. and this president is blind to it. and i think that it will be the demise of the u.s. senate for the democrats. and i feel good about where we are at in 2014. >> how is candidate recruitment for you and is this issue helping that? >> well, i think, i mean candidate recruitment couldn't be going any better. if you look at the u.s. senate and looking at alaska and montana, arkansas, louisiana, west virginia. we have got six states in places where the president

didn't win 42% in those states. and so, you look at put on top of that obamacare, look at mary landrieu in louisiana today. now she is distancing herself from obamacare, when she told her constituents in louisiana just last year, look, if you don't like obamacare, then you ought to judge me on my vote and i'm willing to stand up and be judged. well, we are going to judge her, dana. i don't think it looks good for them. but, unfortunate part about, this of course, is that this is an awful thing for this country. and it also shows what happens when government gets so big and so out-of-control it makes our case on some levels to the american people. >> what dues to critics that would say that the republicans don't have a proactive plan to sell? that's a criticism that i think must poll very well for democrats because you hear them say it all the time. but is it true? >> well, it's not true. i mean, obviously what we have got is a layer of

people of preexisting conditions. people who can't afford the healthcare that is available to them. they are kind of in that layer just above a working poor layer that we have to have an answer for. and we have been putting proposal after proposal on the table. we have talked about ending junk lawsuits. we have talked about open pricing, so that we could figure out what doctors and hospitals charge. we have talked about pooling so that individuals and thousands of small businesses can get lower prices and more accessibility. we have rattled that off every single chance we get. and you know what in the democrats didn't want us at the table, so now the democrats got what they wanted. which was obamacare. and so, look, we're going to talk about obamacare every day. if you ask me what day it is? the answer is obamacare. if you ask me what i want in my coffee, i'm going to tell you i want a little bit of milk and obamacare. we are going to talk about obamacare between now and 2014 and beyond until there we repeal it and get rid of it and put something in place that's much better.

>> all right, ryan, thanks so much. >> okay. >> coming up, tom hanks, leonardo decaprio, hollywood pug out othe big guns hoping to cash in if this big

restaurant rule is making customers angry. restaurant owners have the right to say no to firearms that's despite a state law allowing people to carry guns into restaurants and bars. now some angry gun owners are boycotting toby keith and the gun ban is sparking a firestorm on social media on one side people say that no gun sign alerts criminals to potential unarmed victims
