not easy. >> thanks to everyone who responded. we appreciate it. >> hope you have a great weekend. see you on "fox & friends." "fox & friends" starts right now. bye. good morning. it is friday, november 7. i'm ainsley earhardt filling in for elisabeth. after sweeping republican republican -- victories, the president set to set down with congressional leaders from both sides of the aisle today but already a warning from speaker boehner. >> when you may with matches you take the risk of burning yourself and he's going to burn himself if he continues down this path. >> what is on the agenda? and will the president listen? >> this republican made history as the first black senator elected in the south since reconstruction. >> when i was a high school kid, i heard so often you're just not black enough. too many kids today are facing a choice of dumbing

down in order to fit in. >> how did the naacp celebrate tim scott's historic win? >> it may look like your ticket to paradise, but this is really a cruise, the jihad in your next family vacation could be next to terrorists on their way to fight with isis. friday mornings are better with friends. good morning. >> hi. this is dolly parton and you're watching "fox & friends." >> thank you very much, dolly. joining us from pigeon forge out this in tennessee. good morning everybody. good morning to you, ainsley and john. >> thank you for waking up with us. it's friday. lots to talk about today. >> later today, middle of the day the president is going to invite over 16

congressional leaders. they're going to be in the old family dining room. it's going to besome of the peow in attendance? the old stars. >> let's show those names. we'll put them on the screen. 16 individuals, 8 democrats and 8 republicans that will be attending. bipartisan. you know, everyone is hoping for common ground, breakthroughs, not gridlock. we shall see. >> the dynamic is going to be kind of interesting because harry reid is about to lose his job running the senate. nancy pelosi, it is dawning on her she'll probably never be the speaker again. then you've got mitch mcconnell who the president wants to have a drink with. i think they should wait till 5. and then speaker boehner of course yesterday made it very clear he'd listen to the president of the united states during his press conference the day earlier where the president said there's stuff we're going to do. immigration reform, we're probably going to do that.

the speaker of the house realized you don't have the authority to do that and he made this warning yesterday before lunch. >> finding common ground is going to be hard work but it will be even harder if the president isn't willing to work with us. when you play with matches, you take the risk of burning yourself. and he's going to burn himself if he continues to go down this path. >> speaker boehner's comments followed senator mcconnell's comments yesterday warning the president about the same thing, because they know and we know that the constitution vests congress with the ability and power to regulate naturalization. >> we say we know and they know, but does the president know? >> in terms of senator mcconnell and speaker boehner there's another six g.o.p. senators who have written a letter to senator harry reid urging him as a matter of constitutional --

constitutional authority acting not as a democrat or republican, but as the leader of the senate, stop the president from executive action on amnesty because it's unconstitutional. >> senator jeff sessions was on the kelly files. let's listen to what he had to say about this. >> why they did this daca thing, they gave those individuals i.d. cards with the words work authorization on it and gave them the power to take a job, which is improper and contrary to what the laws of the united states are. and so now the president is saying he's going to do up to five to six million more. and so congress simply has to bar the expenditure of any money to carry out such a scheme because it will be a very expensive scheme. >> absolutely. speaker boehner drew a line in the sand. talk about a red line, he said, mr. president, if you do this, you're going to, quote, poison the well,

unquote, on relationships between democrats and republicans in this country going forward. so they see it as really, really essential. >> a lot of people are saying if he uses executive action to pass immigration reform, that's not what the voters want. we saw what the voters wanted on tuesday. they want change, and that's why there is change in the house and in the senate now. if he uses executive order, many people are asking if he's allowed to do this. it's very ambiguous because you're supposed to use it for war, for emergencies. to pass something that the rest of the country is not for, the majority of the country is not for, he's going to get into some trouble if he does that many republicans are saying. >> a lot of people who signed a letter to the president will be around that table today in the old family dining room there at the white house. it's going to be great. don't you just wish you could be a fly on the wall for that? >> i'm sure we'll hear about what happened there later today. >> that's one great thing about washington, it leaks like a seive. on this program two days ago we had the senator from from the great state, your state of south carolina,

tim scott. what an accomplishment. the first african-american who was elected to the united states senate since reconstruction, out in the fourth district of the great state of utah you have mia love who was elected. she's the first african-american republican mormon elected. she is are two historic campaigns. and this she is right there. she's been on this program a number of times and now she's heading to washington. >> many people are asking where's the naacp on this? why aren't they saying how proud they are of these two individuals who made history. >> they must have said something. >> we have a quote from the president and c.e.o., cornell brooks. he says this election was not about who won, but rather the citizens who will have the the right to participate. >> if you read the full statement that mr. brooks made, he made it seem as if there was tremendous fraud, abuse, and really keeping

african-american voters away from the polls in the united states. >> that's a new story i kind of missed. so that's why they're not saluting these two african-americans who won election on tuesday night because they're focusing instead on fraud? >> it doesn't make any sense and this is no evidence of it. >> wasn't he sending people to the polls to make sure this wasn't fraud? >> eric holder was there too. >> it was busy in the polling place. meanwhile raffi williams, who is a proud conservative and we should point out the son of juan williams, was incensed by what the naacp was quoted as saying. he tweeted out yesterday, can we take a moment to understand how the naacp didn't congratulate the first black person ever elected to both the house and the senate? and there was another one. naacp is failing the black community by only supporting democrats. peter johnson jr., that is

something they have done historically. they don't put money in any republicans' coffers. >> i think as a matter of politics and as a matter of what's right and what's wrong i think they would and they should con dprat late these folks -- con dprat late these folks who have been elected and i think you'll see that based on what we've been talking about here this morning. i think it's the right thing to do. >> the naacp only recognizes people on the political left? it's like the feminist organizations. you would think now they would come out and say way to go. >> the naacp shouldn't be a tool of either party. >> exactly, should not be political. >> appears to be synonymous with the democratic party. >> amen, mr. johnson. >> let's hand it over to leah gabriel who is in for heather this morning. you are working hard. >> lots to get to this morning. breaking overnight, a

national guard training mission ends in tragedy when an apache helicopter crashes leaving two pilots dead. it happened near boise, idaho. their identities not yet released. investigators are trying to figure out what went wrong there. witnesses say they thought the plane was going to blow up because of all the sparks. take a look. that is an air canada flight landing in edmonton after one of its tires blew out. you can see sparks shooting out as the plane skids to a stop. look at this photo. that is the same plane leaving on its side on the runway. 75 people were on board at the time and 3 were hurt. it is the first in the united states. in just a few hours an accused terrorist captured on the battle field in afghanistan will be arraigned in a federal court in richmond, virginia. he's a russian member of the taliban. accused of trying to shoot down an american aircraft. he faces life behind bars if convicted. it's enough to make you

sick. a world war ii veteran beaten and robbed by a man who followed him right inside his own apartment. 85-year-old william hunter was leaving a 7-eleven in daytona, florida, when the suspect followed him home. here's what happened next. >> i said do you live here? he said no, i have friends here. i get off the elevator. i don't look at him that he's following me. as soon as i open the door, he got me in a choke hold right up against that wall. i hope they find him. then i would ask him could you put me in a room alone with this guy. >> the suspect made off with $300. officers are now looking at the surveillance video from the 7-eleven. and those are your headlines. shameful to see a veteran beaten and bruised in the face. awful. >> he did so much for this country. >> it is about 11 minutes after the top of the hour on this very busy friday. he is the man behind florida's surprise republican upset in a special election earlier this year.

at that time he gave some advice to republicans running in the midterms. turns out he was right. that strategist explains his play book and open it for us next. >> a high school football player flagged for his faith. he got down on his knee to pray and was punished for it. is that fair or foul? ♪ ♪ introducing nexium 24hr finally, the purple pill, the #1 prescribed acid blocking brand, comes without a prescription for frequent heartburn. get complete protection. nexium level protection™

congratulations. you have a winning strategy there. >> i should just go out and talk; right? >> no, you should keep it a secret. it is not a secret. you talked about it a little bit there. it's all about the tone; isn't it? >> it's about the tone. but what was really proven, steve, was that performance and authenticity and consistency really count for something in american politics. and this is a campaign where a nationalized meblg was local -- nationalized mebl was localized by personality. we saw that with joni ernst. let's make them squeal. you saw this even down ballot a little bit, the governors race in maryland, historic victory for larry hogan who said they're even taxing the rain.

i think people really want competence and they were frustrated and showed that in the david jolly race. they're frustrated that government just simply isn't working. >> i think there's something to that because when you look at the democrats historically offense the last couple of years they have been trying to paint the republican party of they're the party of no. we've got ideas and they just say no, no, no, no, no. but these candidates who really broke out and won had a positive message. here's some sound bites from some of those people you just mentioned. watch this. >> i'm corey gardner and i'm going to tell you something you've never heard in a political commercial. my opponent mark udall is a nice guy. >> i'm joni ernst. i grew up castrating hawks on an iowa farm, so when i get to washington i'll know how to cut pork. >> i'll oppose the anti-redskins bill. let's focus on creating jobs, raising take home pay and making our nation safer. let the redskins handle what to call their team.

>> that was one of my favorite ads of the entire cycle. >> going forward, adam, what would you say your advice to the republican party would be as they head towards the presidential in two years? >> here's the good news. the good news is the numbers from the midterms. the democrats are down 180 members in the house, 45 senators, 18 governors and they lost control of almost every major state legislature in the country. here are the daunting numbers to come. 53, 23, 19. 53% women, 23% minority and 19% millenial voters. that's the electorate we're going to face going into 2016. but the formula, i think, for success for republicans is the same. find charismatic, competent candidates who are authentic, willing to put it on the line, stand on their own two feet and say we've got to make things work again. i think that formula which started this cycle in 2014 is going to be very much in play and what people in america will be looking for in 2016. >> adam, as we look to

washington right now there is a lot of dysfunction and total gridlock. i think that is why people are optimistic after the midterms that now republicans hold both houses and now the president will be forced to compromise and do stuff like that. that's our hope. but going forward that's really what people want. we want people to say i'm not part of washington or i am part of washington, but going forward i'm not going to be toeing the line like we used to. we're going to get stuff done. >> right. i think the more outspoken we are about that and frankly the more we achieve, the better that message sinks in. that is the way that tilled the ground for 2016 for the republicans. >> thank you very much. once again congratulations. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. it was the president's message to the american people one day after that gigantic democratic upset. >> congress will pass some bills i cannot sign. i'm pretty sure i'll take

some actions that some in congress will not like. >> look at how those lines are going different directions. how did the voters respond to the president's tone? we're going to check the pulse of the people in the midterms next. >> it may look like your ticket to paradise but is this really a jihad why tifts -- why terrorists may be bellying up at the buffet next to you on the high seas. ♪ [ male announcer ] take zzzquil and sleep like...

want you to know that i hear you. >> he talks about the people and it goes up. the dials go up. he talks about being president and the dials go down, the red dials. what was the grade your focus group gave? >> the grade was a minus. he started out really, really strong. he sounded authentic. sounded like he listened. he said i'm getting the message and people were into it. they responded favorably across the aisle and they were ready to hear more. >> let's hear another bite. this one he talks about using his veto power. >> congress will pass some bills i cannot sign. i'm pretty sure i'll take some actions that some in congress will not like. that's natural. that's how our democracy works. but we can surely find ways to work together on issues where there's broad agreement among the american people. >> you can see the g.o.p. did not like that. the red dial is down. >> the red dial is down. what we see here is that this is where things started to go south. here we give him a c. what we are seeing is that

before he says we're going to work together, now he's saying i'm not so sure and people were like this is not what we said. you said that you listen. now you are saying you are not. i am not buying into t. >> the third one is the president talking blt -- talking about the future of obamacare. >> on health care, there are certainly some lines i'm going to draw. repeal of the law, i won't sign. efforts that would take away health care from the ten million people who now have it and the millions more who are eligible to get it we're not going to support. >> what's the grade and why? >> the grade here is d. the reason here is look at the divide. this is as polarizing as he could be. he started out saying we can work together. then he shifted saying maybe we cannot work together. now he said i'm definitely

not working with you. people said i don't buy it. even though democrats love what he said, the republicans are off and we're back into a divided nation. >> he said i'm going to use my executive powers. it doesn't matter what the american people. they voted on tuesday and he's going to go in a different direction. lee, thank you so much. very interesting. the video is absolutely terrifying. a patient goes berserk attacking those nurses in the middle of the night. and the weapon he used, you're not going to believe where he got it. now that the g.o.p. will control the senate, what should they do first? look who it is. charles payne says audit the feds. first, happy birthday to the reverend billy graham. he turns 96 today. ♪ ♪

looks like it is moving in the right direction. people don't expect miracles overnight but what we've had is what i call a backdoor prosperity. over the last two years people have had more disposable income. >> that's good. >> not because their wages have gone up. it's because they lost their house. instead of that $2,000 a month mortgage now you've got $1,500 rent payment. you have more disposable income. that is backdoor prosperity proe need badly. >> that is a dirty little secret going on. remember during the presidential, mitt romney was talking about if i'm elected i'm going to fire the head of the federal reserve. now republicans are in control of both houses of congress. what do you think they should do about the federal reserve? >> the fed is this unwielding beast without any accountability and it's taken on amazing extraordinary actions that only helped the banks out. they buy all these bad, toxic assets and loans the

banks made. the banks are trying to get healthy on that. none of this has trickled into main street. i would love to see the federal reserve abolished. in the meantime this particular fed is worrisome. they've got a dual mandate that is supposed to help with employment and inflation. but yellen is worried about the housing market, the european market. are you kidding me? >> the fed has gotten out of control? >> the fed is way out of control. >> she is yelling and you are too. >> we have to be careful about how much power we give congress over the fed. every once in a while somebody might be in charge of congress that may think what the fed is doing now is not enough. >> don't miss charles. it is on the fox business network. if you want to find that -- >> go to foxbusiness.com/channelfind er. >> coming up, the hispanic

are still voting for democrats two to one, republicans did make some key inroads. >> joining us to break down the numbers is lily gill zaletta, cofounder and president of excel alliance and hispanic market expert as well. welcome. let's start with colorado. you say cory gardner's campaign is a great example of this. >> exactly. he has become in my mind a play book for what republicans need to do to reach the fastest growing bloc of voters in this country that is set to double by the year 2030. he approached them in language. he used what i like to call a three pronged approach. he went in culture, in context and in language. he had the right message. he not only emphasized rhetoric around immigration, he talked about family, he talked about the conservative values of the community. they went in the context of where they lived and there was a lot of spanish

language advertising. one key factoid that i think a lot of people haven't reported on is the fact that republicans have outspent the democrats through september from the data that i gathered from uni vision communications in spanish language media. while the democrats decrease it had by 50%. that makes a significant difference and is a great blueprint for the presidential election in 2016. >> let's look at texas which is an exciting race for the g.o.p. in that governor's race, greg abbott received 44% of the hispanic vote according to a fox news exit poll. a tremendous showing in terms of the hispanic community. >> that is a tremendous showing. if we go back to the last presidential race, mitt romney only got 27% of the latino vote. it is the lowest the republicans got in the last 16 years. the last time we saw 44% numbers was when george w.

bush ran and got great support of the hispanic vote. so there is different things that play with greg abbott and the way he ran his campaign. there were people deployed in the state to do hispanic outreach. there was well over $3 million of advertising in spanish language. and what a lot of people don't know either is he's actually married to an hispanic. cecilia wife is becoming the first hispanic first lady in history. >> let's listen to what he had to say. >> one of the issues i ran on is ensuring texas will step up and do what the federal government has failed to do, and that is to secure our border. at the same time that i ran on that issue, i also got more than 44% of the hispanic vote in the state of texas and in fact more than 50% of the male hispanic vote. so it shows that you can run on an issue of being tough on border security while at the same time

including the hispanic vote. i think that is a model that can be used nationwide. >> you want to react to that before i ask another question? >> absolutely. so two points to make here. one, immigration is still the number-one issue and a very emotional and personal issue to the hispanic voter. so i don't want to misconstrue that. however, what he did is run a balanced message. of course everyone, every good american -- hispanic, black, asian, you name it -- wants this country to be secure. however, in addition to that, he was running on a platform of conservative family values, driving entrepreneurship, promoting jobs. it's all about the complete message. immigration is still important, and we've got to resolve the broken system. but border security cannot be compromised. >> knowing that, knowing that immigration is the number-one issue for hispanic voters, what do republicans now that are in control in the senate and the house, going forward how do they need to come

tght on that issue -- come together on that issue heading into the 2016 presidential election? >> i think republicans are perfectly set to demonstrate the leadership that everyone has been so frustrated. the hispanic community is very disillusioned with the fact that in the 2008 election, president obama promised an immigration reform and here we are still waiting for it. so there is an opportunity for them to demonstrate that we can start passing some pieces of that reform to show progress. >> thanks for being with us this morning. let's keep an eye on this going forward. >> very interesting. thanks, lilli. coming up, the man who shot bin laden just revealed and already people are questioning his story. but they don't know what they're talking about. because we're the ones who got the interview. we'll set the record straight at the top of the hour. >> the president is ready to drink some bourbon with mitch mcconnell. so we wanted to know how is

bourbon really made. so we sent anna kooiman to kentucky to find out, and she's back here with the evidence. evidence. look at hey matt, what's up?

[ male announcer ] introducing xfinity my account. available on any device. you know, actually i would enjoy having some kentucky bourbon with mitch mcconnell. >> he's had that kind of week. this week, president obama said he would like to throw one back with the presumed majority

leader, mitch mcconnell. >> immediately offers to host pour it in from bourbon makers to host those two. by yesterday afternoon, there were bourbon summit t-shirts and even coffee mugs. >> so will this be what it takes to bring bipartisanship to washington? >> maybe. >> anna kooiman found out what goes into kentucky's favorite drink. take a look. >> jim beam is now producing more than 20 different kinds of bourbon. but the original kentucky bourbon started here in claremont in 1795. let's see how it's done. bourbon is made of corn, rye, and malted barley. from start to finish, jim beam produces its bourbon in the usa. even the ingredients thrive in the hat summers of kentucky. >> we pour it in.

ready? >> ready. >> honestly it smells like fresh baked bread in here. bourbon, by law, must be produced in the united states. last year 38.5 million gallons were exported around the world the bourbon industry is booming. >> most of it's made in kentucky. we think that's the best. >> this may look like tap water, but it's 125 proof. moonshine, mama. jim beam is one of the top sellers of bourbon with over 7 million cases shipped last year alone. it ain't easy to get that whiskey made right. the bourbon making process takes years. after nine years of aging, this bourbon is ready to come play. yeah. the moment of truth. i'll share. >> two years ago, bourbon was your grandfather's drink. these days, though, it's hip and cool.

lot of folks found bourbon. >> i knew i couldn't go all the way to kentucky without bringing a little something, something back. you going to let me make my own special bottle? >> yes, here is your bottle. push down on that spindle right there. >> we're just rinsing this out, right? >> yes, rinsing it with bourbon. let's fill your bottle. >> fill er up. part of the process. made by me for "fox & friends." >> look what she left in the studio. >> all right, all right, all right. >> that is cool. >> it's 5:00 o'clock somewhere, guys. man who killed osama bin laden just revealed. already people already questioning the story. but they don't know what they're talking about because we're the ones who sat down with him. we're going to set the record straight, top of the hour.

good friday morning. november 7. i'm ainsley earhart filling in for elisabeth hasselbeck this morning. we're going to start with a fox news alert. there is a meeting at the white house and the white house has been avoiding it for years. it is set to happen in just a few hours. the president and republican leaders. but already a warning from speaker john boehner. >> if you play with matches, or you take the risk of burning yourself. >> so what's on the agenda today and will the president really listen? the navy seal who shot al wd killed osama bin laden under attack for breaking his silence. but his critics might think twice once they hear the real story.

a story you'll only going to see and hear right here on the fox news channel. ever get a song stuck in your head that just won't go away? the science is in and this one is on the list. what song took the top spot? we'll tell you because mornings are better with friends. that's not just in our heads. ♪ pokeroker face >> that song does get in your head. it will stick with us all day. >> i once heard a 7-year-old boy sing that song. it was the cutest thing. >> you hear a snippet of a song, and it gets in your head and you can't shake it. >> i know. let's hand it over to lea who has some headlines for us this morning. >> i can confirm mornings are better with friends. >> thank you.

>> let's go ahead and go to some break overnight news, national guard training mission ends in tragedy when an apache helicopter crashes leaving two pilots dead. this happened just two miles south of the base near boise, idaho. their identities not released. investigators are trying to figure out what went wrong there. president obama accused with working with the enemy. according to the "wall street journal," the president sent a secret letter to iran's supreme leader. it outlined an interest in fighting isis militants. however, it was to be tied to a nuclear deal. the white house neither confirmed nor denied the letter. but according to the journal, obama has written to him four times since taking office. in a few hours, an accused terrorist captured in afghanistan will be arraigned in a federal court in richmond, virginia. he's a russian member of the taliban accused of attacking american troops in afghanistan

in 2009 and trying to shoot down an american aircraft. he faces life behind bars if convicted. the video is outrageous. a news crew becoming part of the story when a shooting suspect slams down a photographer and confesses. the photographer called police. then the man changed his mind. >> i'd be a [ bleep ] idiot. >> the suspect pointed his gun and then stole the news van. brook crashed in a nearby gas station where police tried to take him down, worrying he could turn the gun on them. police charging brooks with attempted murder. those are your headlines. it's amazing, these crews, they really can put themselves in some dangerous situations.

something i got an appreciation of doing the local news. they work hard to get out there and be brave and get the story. >> absolutely. it's all about getting the picture there is first, safely, though. >> thank you very much. our president has famously said he doesn't do photo ops. yet later today, there in the old family dining room at 1600 pennsylvania avenue, the president is going to stage a photo op perhaps or maybe it's just a lunch with old pals because after the midterm drubbing that the president's party took, he's inviting all 16 leaders to 1600 pennsylvania avenue to break bread and make nice, i would imagine. >> we shall see. will this be gridlock or will we see common ground? there are a lot of initiatives that the house tried to pass but haven't been able to. there are hundreds. some of the issues they're focused on, keystone pipeline, overhauling the tax code or easing the excessive

regulations. they focused -- their focus will be on the economy and getting job. >> getting jobs for veterans as well. that's an important emphasis for the republicans. yesterday speaker boehner warned the president that he could burn himself with executive action on immigration. don't violate the constitution he says. >> finding common ground will be hard work. but it will be even harder if the president isn't willing to work with us. when you play with matches, you take the risk of burning yourself. he's going to burn himself if he continues to go down this path. >> now, does that kind of sound like he's lecturing the president a little bit? it's kind of what a parent would say to a kid. do not play with matches. >> i'm warning you. >> it's a warning. don't play with matches. >> or maybe a statement of fact. >> you shouldn't play with matches. >> i think at this point it's so serious that he's laying out the

lines and has said it would poison the well if the president decides to violate article 1, section 8 of the constitution and very clear, united states supreme court case law that vets congressional authority in -- >> the president has said, i have veto power. it's basically -- it doesn't matter what the house and senate are going to say. i still have the ultimate power. and there were six senators that read a letter to harry reid saying you need to stop the president from using executive order. and senator jeff sessions had this to say. he's basically saying, we're going to cut off the money if you try to do this. >> this daca thing, they gave those individuals i.d. cards with the words, work authorization, on it, and gave them the power to take a job, which is improper and contrary to what the laws of the united states are. so now the president is saying

he's going to do up to 5 to 6 million more. so congress simply has to bar the expenditure of any money to carry out such a scheme because it will be a very expensive scheme. >> scheme. >> that's the word for it. we're going to see what happens. john boehner and even senator mcconnell have drawn a pretty strong red line on that. >> the voters have said, they spoke on tuesday. >> they said we're not look for that. it's interesting the president was saying, listen, i'll act and then you kind of come along in congress. and congress is saying, no, no, doesn't actually work that way. you don't do something and then have us try and ratify it. >> he's got a pen and he's got a phone. >> he's going to use them both. no doubt about it. >> if these republican senators have written to harry reid and said stop your president before what? >> shut it down now because you

have an obligation constitutionally -- not as a democrat or republican -- to stand up for the separation of powers. >> let's see what's more important to harry reid, the law or politics. >> he's mad at the president, too, if you read some of these stories. >> speak of stories, i'm sure you have seen the promos here on the fox channel. coming up, an exclusive interview with that man right there. rob o'neil, former navy seal, the man who killed osama bin laden. it's coming to fox next week. the guy who got the exclusive interview, somebody we know pretty well. >> absolutely. he's a great young reporter, peter doocy. he was on the kelly file last night talking about how he got this story and what the story is about and why it's important. peter doocy. >> there is a lot of stuff out there today. some of it is true. some of it is not. but we are dealing -- we sat down on camera and the story is

so good, it's so compelling that we need two nights to tell everything. we got connected through a third party and then over time, we developed a relationship and this summer, something happened that he decided now is when i want to tell the story. now is when i want to reveal myself. >> megyn kelly was saying that it's really some of the most compelling video that she has seen here at fox. so we look forward to seeing that next tuesday and wednesday night, i guess. >> yep. >> that starts on veterans day. it will be at 9:00 p.m. eastern time. ever since may 2, 2011, so many people wondered, what does the guy look like? now we know what he looks like. we know his name because for the most part, i think america would like to buy that guy a beer. >> and understand how he feels today and how he felt doing it then and boy -- >> i look forward to hearing the whole story. we've heard lots of different

opinions. now we'll hear the facts. >> indeed. the world exclusive where you see him and hear him on the fox news channel veterans day night, 10 p.m. >> great guest. it's now ten minutes after the top of the hour on this 7th day of november. if hillary thought this sound bite was behind her, she better think again. >> what difference at this point does it make? >> well, republicans about to take over investigations, like the botched response in benghazi. that's the difference it makes. what does that mean for the white house? senator ron johnson, who will be leading that charge joins us next. and ladies, men say they finally found a way to get out of doing their chores for good. >> a lot of ways. >> you're an expert at it. ♪ ♪

o

the fact is, we have four dead americans. was it because of a protest or guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some americans? what difference at this point does it make? >> that infamous sound bite and question was directed to our next guest. and now he'll be heading u

of these investigations once republicans officially take control of the u.s. senate. ron johnson, the senator from wisconsin, is slated to be the new chairman of homeland security and government affairs. good morning, senator johnson. >> good morning, peter. how are you doing? >> i'm doing great. i'm so glad you're here. it appears that the senate democrats have ignored a lot of scandals and a lot of problems in washington. what are you going to do to remedy that situation? >> there has been a certain curiousity on the part of democrats in terms of the administration's overreach. homeland security governor has broad jurisdiction and these perilous times, i think the top priority is the homeland security portion of that, how do you secure the borders, governor affairs, that is the oversight responsibility. we'll take that oversight, investigation responsibility pretty seriously as well. >> you're interested in border protection and cyber security.

you're interested in home grown terrorist threats. on those issues, what are the types of questions that we need to be asking through you here in america today? >> well, first of all, why have we for decades not secured our border? the democrats by and large are holding border security hostage for some guarantee of citizenship. that's wrong. let's take the immigration problem step by step, first secure the border. let's end all the incentives for illegal immigration. let's have a functioning guest worker program. let's have a high skills guest worker program as well. it's crazy. we're educating all these young people, the brightest minds throughout the world and then force them to go home. there are plenty of areas that i think we can reach agreement on. let's find those areas of agreement. let's not force comprehensive reform where we don't have total agreement on. let's do a step by step approach starting with securing the border. >> there appears to be a lot of concern from the republican side, from mitch mcconnell and

john boehner that the president will take executive action perhaps unconstitutionally, perhaps without congressional action. how would you react to that and how would your brothers and sisters in the senate react? >> i think that would be unfortunate because it does poison the well for good faith efforts to try and solve these problems. but the other problematic part of that deferred action would be again, it would increase the incentive for illegal immigration. if you really want to secure the border, you need to eliminate those incentives. that's exactly what president obama did with children. he had the deferred action on childhood -- we saw children flooding out of central america to our borders. it's bad policy. it's really bad politics. i hope he doesn't do it. let's work together and secure the border. let's bring in these kids with all the high skills, with the brightest minds. let's do the things we can agree on. >> it's clear that you're interested in working together, senator. but the question for a lot of americans is today, are you going to ask the tough questions that haven't been asked by

senate democrats over the last six years on these issues? are you going to bring these administration leaders to task in front of your committee and say, tell me about this. tell me about that. yeah, you're going to come here and let the american people know >> foreign function of the committee is making sure we get to the truth of the matter, we can find problems and highlight issues. we'll take that oversight responsibility very seriously. at the same time, the house is doing a pretty good job on their end. they're ahead of us in maybe these investigations. i don't like to duplicate either. from my standpoint, i think we need to take these responsibilities seriously with a certain amount of humility. i want to see this administration succeed in securing our borders and keeping america safe. i want to work cooperatively with secretary jaysonson, really good appointment by president obama. let's find those areas of agreement first. that doesn't preclude showing the american public the

differences in our approaches, but let's try and find that common ground. that's how i approach business. that's how i'm going to approach the committee chairmanship as well. >> on common grod, good morning and good luck and thank you for your service, senator. good to see you today. >> have a great morning. >> you, too. coming up, this week marks historic wins for black politicians, mia love, and tim scott. but naacp ignoring it? why? well, maybe because they're conservatives. the man calling them on the hypocrisy. juan williams' son coming up here next. plus ever get a song stuck in your head? it just won't go away. next is one of them, according to science. but we'll reveal the catchiest song of all time straight ahead. mine is "trick shop." ♪ ♪ &

time for news by the numbers. first, four. pixar made its official toy story 4. it will head to the theaters in june of 2017. the director says expect a love story this time around. that's great. next, 33%. that's how many guys regularly mess up house chores just when they're asked not to do them again. they find in the survey that cleaning the shower and doing laundry are among the top chores men are likely to botch on purpose. subsequently, my wife did ask me

yesterday, true story, please, never do the laundry again. finally, five seconds. that's how much time is left on the clock when drake university student took a shot from half court. he nailed it, won a brand-new ford f-150 pick up truck. and the crowd went wild. ainsley? >> thank you. the naacp released a statement on the midterm elections. the only problem? it makes no mention of the historic wins of mia love and tim scott. the statement reads in part, this election was not about who won, but rather the citizens who lost the right to participate. now the rnc spokesperson is slamming the organization, tweeting this out: did we take a moment to understand how the naacp didn't congratulate the first black person ever elected to both the house and the senate? and he joins us now. thanks so much for joining us. great to see you. >> thanks for having me on. >> why do you think that the naacp is not recognizing these victories? >> i think they have a liberal

bent to them. but i think the point here is that all black accomplishments in america should be congratulated. the fact that we have more black people in elected office should be something to celebrate because it is for the advancement of all black people, despite of your ideology. it's an important step. it's historic that tim scott is the first black person ever elected to both the house and the senate if they choose to ignore it, i think it shows a fault on their part. >> like you said, tim scott, first black senator from south carolina since reconstruction. listen to what he said last week regarding democrats using race to win votes. >> when i was a high school kid, i heard so often, you're just not black enough. too many kids today are facing a choice of dumbing down in order to fit in. >> to so what's your reaction to that sound bite? >> there is no one way to be black in america. i think i say that time and time

again. you have this happen to people. they say russell wilson, for instance, or having charles barkley defend them. at the end of the day, you are who you are and race is a skin color. people like mia love, condoleeza rice,tism scott, they know this and they embody the american dream and they have a sense and purpose and they are conservative. but that doesn't make them less black to be conservative. >> we're seeing more and more african-americans become republicans. do you think the naacp should unite everyone and stand for all of the people? it seems they're not being bipartisan. is that the truth? >> that is the truth. there is no question about it. what they should stand for is having more black for having a larger say in american society. that's what they're fighting for. today they seem to have let their guard down and what they should be doing is celebrating people like scott and love and also celebrating james cliburn and other great black democrats because they also are taking a seat at the table t. shouldn't be one side.

but unfortunately, too often today you see it is one sided and i think it discourages black conservatives when they're not able to form a group and be supported by the national naacp. that's a big letdown. >> yeah. so many people follow you on twitter. any reaction from -- what are people saying based on your tweet yesterday and have you heard from the naacp? >> i haven't heard from the naacp. from my twitter feed, a lot of black people seem to experience the same thing. especially black conservatives. they say yeah, i can't believe they didn't do this either. this is a huge misstep. i've had problems where i haven't been supported in my community because i am conservative. that should never be the case. we should celebrate all black accomplishments and that's coming through my twitter feed as well. i've been surprised and indeed by the amount of support i've gotten. i didn't expect to be here. i got kind of upset after reading the statements and i was shocked that it made news and peopler interested like they were. >> thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us this morning. >> thank you. coming up, it's a crazy

trailers and disney's latest animation. >> kevin mccarthy joins us with his reviews. let's start with "interstellar." this looks unbelievable. >> yeah. it really, really, truly is. i always talk about getting nerd tears on this show and how i get teary eyed, this gave me nerd tears and real tears. this is the first time i ever cried in a christopher nolan movie. nolan is one of the best film makers working today. he tran acceptedded the super hero genre with "the dark knight." now had. the idea here vaguely, the human race is on the verge of extinction and matthew mcconaghey's character has to essentially man a space crew out to space to find habitual planets for the human race to live on. all i'm going to say, he has to leave his children behind and that becomes the heart of the story. i think this is christopher nolan's masterpiece, the most complete film he's ever done in his career. it's emotional, massive and effects and ideas.

this also broke ground and it's a personal story about a father and his daughter. that's the core of the movie. he used no green screen effects for the movie whatsoever. he built these massive spaceships and he actually put massive images on the windows. it's incredible to watch. i gave it five out of five. >> whoa! >> number five. >> it's so predictable because -- remember you saw one with sandra bullock like five times. >> "gravity." i've seen this twice. i do want to mention this quick, it was shot with select imax cameras. you have to see it in 70-millimeter imax film. here is what i want to do for the viewers, only a select number of those theaters in the country. tweet me your zip code, i will tweet back the best one and respond to every single one of you. >> will you buy the popcorn, too >> the movie is brilliant. >> you talked to matthew

mcconaghey, right? >> i did. the movie is again about this father leaving his children. so i wanted to ask him, where is that balance of being an actor and leaving your children behind when you have to make a movie? here is what he said. >> i've got a dream i'm living and acting and it means i got to be selfish and go off to places, lot of times on my own. i have a family. i personally have been a very privileged position because my wife chooses to say, hey, me and the kids are going with you. and so far we've done that and that's worked for us. that will get more difficult down the line when they get in school and gets teammates and friends. we'll deal with it then. >> all right, all right, all right. >> all right, all right, all right. >> there is a new movie called "big hero 6". what do you like about it? >> it's disney film. it's great for the family. basically about these six super here hoes who team -- heros who

team up together. it's sweet movie. fun to watch. i gave it four out of five. stay after the credits. the best scene in the entire movie is at the end of the credits. i gave it four out of five. great for the family. not as good as "wreck it ralph." see it in 2 d, save a couple bucks. go see "interstellar." tweet me, i'll send you the best theater to see it at. >> look it looks like he could be anchoring "special report." look at him! >> very nice, kevin. >> thank you. >> i love you, man. >> thank you. fox news alert, a meeting the white house has been avoiding for years set to happen in just hours. so what can we expect? senator john thune will be there and he joins us live, coming up next. and it may look like your ticket to paradise. but is this really a jihad

this meeting. i think a lot of it's optics. the president wants a photo op with the new congress and i think demonstrate that he's still relevant in all this debate. but i hope that he also moves in a direction that will allow us to actually get some things done for the country. i think that what we're hoping to hear if him is a willingness to work in a constructive way, to dialogue with the congress. not to go around the congress, which is what he's been doing now for several years. i think that's what the american people spoke on tuesday night. they're tired of that. these policies aren't just -- it's not that they're just not popular with the american people, it's that they don't work and they want a different direction and hopefully the president will meet us halfway and start moving in a different direction. >> what should be the areas of agreement? what should the president be agreeing to to go forward in this country? >> i would like to see us focus on jobs and the economy. i think we've got a very sluggish, slow growth economy. take home pay has been down for the american people. what can we do to jump start the

economy? there are some things that are low hang fruit. approving the keystone pipeline would. opening up more trade, creating more export demand for a lot of our producers in this country i think would be a good thing to grow the economy and create more jobs. the trade bills are stalled here because the senate democrats haven't been willing to move those. i think there are some things in the area of obamacare that are really putting a wet blanket on the economy. so there are a number of areas that we think could be common ground. the president ought to be willing to meet us with. >> it's clear, senator, that the president wants to do something probably executive amnesty between now and when the congress is under new management on the senate side. and john boehner was very clear yesterday to the president. don't mess with fire. don't go doing something that is against the law. but has got to be some common ground when it comes to the amnesty problem. or not amnesty problem.

the immigration problem. >> right. there are things. just because we can't do everything on immigration doesn't mean we shouldn't do something. and things on which is broad bipartisan agreement, e verify system, securing the border, skill-based -- >> that's all simple stuff. >> those are all things that have broad bipartisan support. so that's what we ought to be focused on. let's deal with these issues and the president shouldn't be going around the congress trying to do this by executive order. i think that would be a huge mistake and a complete denial of what happened on tuesday night when the people in this country asked us to move in a different direction, when the president said his policies were on the ballot, they were. they were rejected by the american people. hopefully he will accept that and come at this with a different attitude and not try and do everything by executive action. but actually work in a constructive way with the congress to try and find solutions to these problems the country face. >> if he does that l it poison the well as some leaders have said? will it poison the well in relations? >> i think it's like throwing a

big hand grenade into everything else. i think it makes it very, very complicated for us because it will basically say to the american people and to congress, go pound sand. i don't care what happened on tuesday night. i'm going to do my own thing. that is clearly not what the american people were saying. >> all right. senator john thune will have lunch at the white house. he doesn't know what is on the menu, but he's hoping compromise. >> hopefully not sand. >> see what we hear. thank you. >> thank you. coming up next, a land battle all over this little anim. he is kind of cute. >> it's a prairie dog. >> the people just won and the attorney that led them to that victory is going to join us. >> wait, the prairie dog has a lawyer? >> in south dakota. first on this day in 1999, "smooth" by santana was the number one song in the country. that may stick in your head, too. that's a smooth song.

this is a good one. born on this date in 1970, this film maker gained 25 pounds in a month for a movie. it was morgan spurlock. the winner was john ford from mount airy in north carolina. congratulations. you'll get a copy of brian's book. the people of utah scoring huge victory against federal wildlife officials. the officials were protecting this particular rodent. the prairie dog, over their right to build an open businesses. an attorney that helped them do that is jonathan wood. he's with the pacific legal foundation and joins us today from sacramento.

good morning to you. >> good morning. >> okay. so the prairie dog has been protected for 40 years. and they did that why? >> the prairie dog was at one point nearing extinction because of government efforts to exterminate it. but for the past 40 years, it has been regulated and private citizens have suffered under this regulation. they've been unable to build their dream homes. they've been unable to start small businesses. the local government has been able to protect the local sports field where children play, the airport, or the local cemetery. >> so the government stepped in, they gave the prairie dog protected status and how did that impact land owners and businesses and stuff like that? >> it's heart breaking. there are empty lots in the middle of built out subdivisions that prairie dogs show up and homeowners weren't able to finish their dream home. the local cemetery has been overrun. so residents of this small area of utah had to watch as what's supposed to be the serene and

sacred final resting place of their loved one occupied by an animal that barks during funerals, that digs amongst the grave sites, and eats any flowers you might try to leave on a tombstone. >> okay. so now there has been a change, though. tell us about the development regarding the prairie dog. >> for the first time, federal court has enforced the constitution's limits on a federal government's ability to regulate endangered species. it has said that under what's called the constitution's commerce clause, the federal government can only regulate those species that are related to commerce and that's not what happened here. it's found in only one state. it has nothing to do with anything. the government argument's were laughable to try to connect it. >> it is crazy. they were trying to say that that little prairie dog, and he's adorable, we grew up with those. that prairie dog impacted interstate commerce. when did they come up with that? >> the only argument they came up with were that the entire

environment is so interrelated that everything that affects anything necessarily affects interstate commerce. the judge rightly said that can't be right. the founders didn't want the federal government to have unlimited power and the courts made clear you can't say that they do. >> it's great to hear that a judge has ruled in the favor of homeowners and businesses as well. if you love prairie dog, don't feel bad. they are still a protected class, right? >> yeah. absolutely. that's one of the great things about having a federal system where we have state governments, local governments and the federal government. here the federal government overreached. but the state governments and local governments continue to protect it. my client, people for the ethical treatment of property owners, don't hate prairie dogs. their ideal is to move them to conservation areas instead of public property. >> very good. so you got a victory. congratulations. jonathan, thank you. a little before the top of the hour. coming up, he's the man behind these hillary's losers tweets.

good friday morning. it's november 7. i'm ainsley earhart filling in for elisabeth. we're going to start with a fox news alert. a meeting at the white house that it avoided for years. it's set to happen in a couple of hours today. the president and republican leaders, but already there is a warning from speaker john boehner. >> you play with matches or you take the risk of burning yourself. >> we are live at the white house. meanwhile, the navy seal who shot and killed osama bin laden under attack for break his silence. but his critics might want to think guys once they hear the real story. the story you're only going to see and hear right here on the

fox news channel. did you feel like this this morning? he's the puppy who refuses to wake up. it's the cutest video you're going to see all day. maybe all week. mornings are better with friends. >> this is big george foreman and you're watching "fox & friends." it's a knockout in the mornings. >> thank you. he makes a good grill. >> he does. >> i use it almost every day. >> for chicken or burgers? >> mainly chicken. i used it for burgers. so good. >> we got the complete george foreman spectrum covered. thank you for joining us. peter is fill noting in for brin and ainsley for elisabeth. four hours from right now, the president will sit down around the dining room table with republican leaders there at the white house as the democrats prepare to hand over the reins of power in the senate to the republicans. will this be a working lunch or just a photo op? wendell goler is live at the white house.

what do they hope to accomplish today? >> the goal may be to keep it from turning into a food fight after the republican election win. neither side backing away from stands that they butted heads over for years now. mr. obama still set to take executive action on immigration. the house republicans have rejected it and john boehner is warning him not to. >> i believe that the president is going to poison the well if he acts on his own. when you play with matches, or you take the risk of burning yourself. he's going to burn himself if he continues to go down this path. >> for their part, boehner and soon to be senate majority leader mitch mcconnell pledge to do try to repeal obamacare which the president said is a nonstarter and they're determined to force construction of the keystone xl pipeline, though the white house says environmental concerns still haven't been resolved yet. still press secretary josh earnest says there may be some

things they can agree on. >> i'm not surprised that there may be things that the president considers to be top priority. republicans don't share. again, i'm not trying to paper over those differences. what we have to do is we need to compare those two lists. let's put down the president's agenda, let's place down right next to it the republican agenda and let's look for areas of common ground. >> most likely areas may be trade deals, infrastructure, repair, and tax reform. steve? >> all right. wendell goler, live at the north lawn of the white house. warning there could be a food fight later today. sometimes we have one with geraldo rivera. >> i'd love to be there. that would be fun. >> how great would that be? >> i'd be a trouble maker, though. what he said about you -- >> how hard do you think it's going to be to get that gavel out of harry reid's hand? >> yeah, try that. >> that would make a good reality show. >> oh, yeah. >> here we go.

to the naacp point to go alleged violations of people's right to vote. but the naacp, and you saw it in the trayvon martin and the ferguson, missouri case, the naacp -- and i'm a life long member -- to be a victims rights. they adopt the credo essentially that woe is us. we are the victims. everything is against us and it is that mindset that this allows them to embrace and celebrate the victory of these two fine people who happen to be republican. why? because mia love and tim scott in south carolina, they embrace the notion of american exceptionalism, that we work hard. we are goodéjs people. we are extraordinary public servants. we can win. we can serve the people. we can succeed. that i think is the biggest

failing not only of the naacp, but of the democratic party. >> they're a satellite of the democratic party. >> i don't think there is any doubt about that. >> we revealed their hand long ago. but imagine how much more -- for instance, when was the last time you saw an naacp rally or protest against urban violence? you never see that. why? because it's not the classic mold of woe is us. we are the victims. it is rather -- it would have been an acceptance that we have to do more to help ourselves and that's more of -- sadly, perceived as a republican notion and these people, scott and love, are seen as uncle toms or aunt toms, thomass, and it's too bad. it really could be much more energized in an organization. >> our friend, juan williams, who is on fox news channel, his son is the spokesperson for the

rnc. juan is a democrat. his son is republican. >> what a family reunion. >> right. we talked to him earlier on fox. this is what he had to say and i want to get your reaction. >> more black people elected office should be something to celebrate by the naacp because it is for the advancement of all black people. they should stand for black people having a larger say in america. they did great work to accomplish this in the civil rights era. today they seem to have let their guard down. they should celebrate people like tim scott and mia love, and also james cliburn and other great black democrats because they also are taking a seat at the table. it shouldn't just be one sided. but unfortunately, too often now today, you see it is one sided. >> i think you are on the same page. >> isn't it nice to see raffi making his dad proud and peter making you proud about the -- >> it's not about the side of the aisle you're on. it's about being an american. that's what the naacp -- >> i'm a republican because i believe people have to pull

themselves up by their boot straps the way my dad did and i want that virtue to be the thank you for joining us is extolled and that's what -- one that is extolled. we want american dream attainment. >> you know, somebody else who feels the same way? condy rice. >> classic example. >> here she is. she thinks there are race tactics that were used in the last campaign by the democrats, just not smart. >> we're not race blind. of course we still have racial tensions in the country. but the united states of america has made enormous progress in race relations and it is the best place on earth to be a minority. the idea that you would play such a card and try fear mongering among minorities just because you disagree with republicans that they're somehow all racist i find it appalling. i find it insulting. and as a republican black woman from the south, i would say to them, really? is that really the argument that

you're going to make in 2014? >> we would love to have her run for office. >> she's brilliant national office holder. she's so balanced and such a great role model. that's what you want. it's too much in the minority culture the embrace of the thug ethic. no belts so your pants are down around your butt or remember how much trouble i got in about the hoodies? but the point is, if you want to embrace that failure, you will be a failure and your children will be a failure. rather, embrace the american dream. i think that scott is a great example. so is mia love. but she's also a harvard grad. it's not like she came out of the blue. >> it appeared that a lot of white people were fisting this on the minority community. it wasn't the minority community making the complaint. it was a lot of the white democratic leaders trying to play the race card. >> we'll see if they stop it.

>> just a brief notion that the race was lost by barak obama because he failed to inspire and basile that are -- lethargy was dominant. they exposed their belly like that puppy and as a result, they reaped the harvest. >> thank you. >> and congratulations on "celebrity apprentice." >> thanks. >> thank you very much. we're over to lea who has breaking news. >> good morning. fox news alert just in. a federal judge has delayed the sentencing of two friends of alleged boston marathon, dzhokhar tsarnaev. they were found both guilty of obstruction after removing dzhokhar tsarnaev's backpack from their dorm room. the supreme court is hearing a case about what can be considered tangible evidence in obstruction cases. happening overnight, a national guard training mission

but i think it could begin to happen today. >> yes. today you think are just let's join together, that kind of thing and enjoying lunch together. so they won't dive into these issues today? >> i think they'll get into it a little bit. i can assure you that there is going to be talk about what they're going to accomplish in the lame duck session because there is going to be the old congress is going to come back before they go out of power in january and i suspect you're going to see mcconnell and boehner saying, hey, there is some things there there we need to keep for the people who were invited by the american voters. that will be something. i'm sure they're going to talk about immigration and this question of executive action, which is as mcconnell said, a red flag for republicans. >> once the republicans drawn the line in the sand on that issue and say, listen, that's like throwing a grenade into the process and telling the republicans as john thune said earlier, pound sand. is that a pound sand moment?

the table today. >> be hopeful about this meeting, i think a lot of it's optics. the president wants a photo op with the new congress and i think demonstrate that he's still relevant in all this debate. but i hope that he also moves in a direction that will allow us to actually get some things done for the country. i think that what we're hoping to hear from him is a willingness to work in a constructive way to dialogue with the congress. not to go around the congress, which is what he's been doing now for several years. i think that's what the american people spoke on tuesday night. >> it really is the message, chris wallace. people are looking in on washington. it's screwed up. make things work. this is a chance. >> that's right. i don't think that republicans got a mandate. but they did get a chance. you look at the exit polls, people don't like republicans. they just like the president and the democrats even less. and so i think that there is going to be an effort to find something that they can agree on. i don't think it's just a photo

op that. certainly is part of it and the president wants to show he's relevant after taking a shellac not guilty a midterm. i think it's more than that. we got a show on sunday and we're going to be talk being this. we're going to have two members of the leadership, republican senator john barasso and democratic congressman javier becera. i would love it if one of the republicans said, mr. president, elections have consequences, with a line he famously threw at eric cantor and they do. the president took a thumping. we're also going to talk to two of the newbies who took democratic seats. capito and cory gardner. they're going to be here 1st of january and we'll see what they hope to accomplish. can i just say one thing about this interview with the guy who took down bin laden? who is the fellow doing the

interview on that? >> that would be our white house correspondent occasionally, peter doocy. >> well, i have a couple of things to say about that. one, you must be awfully proud. two, i am awfully jealous. if it were me and my dad, he would have tried to steal the interview from me. so the question is, did you trio steal the interview from peter? >> i know steve is not that kind of guy. you know that, chris. >> he got it fair and square. >> but guess what? my father was. he would have tried to steal it. >> that's right. >> i wouldn't have told him about it until i had the interview in the can. good for peter. >> great journalist family. >> thank you very much. >> that interview will be tuesday, wednesday next week. >> and watch chris wallace this sunday. in the meantime, lea gabriel has the news. this video is terrifying.

week old kittens. that's right in the time study say that if their experiences are positive, they'll go on to have positive experiences throughout their life. that's what we're doing with boots. he's kind of a kitten whisperer. >> it looks like he just let's them play with him. he doesn't care. whatever. chill dog. his owners never came to find him after the hurricane? >> yeah. no one ever came to reunite him. but he was fallen in love with immediately. so he's been in an amazing home for the last decade. he's pawing it forward for sure for other homeless animals. he knows what it's like to be homeless. he's a great dog, just a gentleman. he teaches our kittens so much. >> you're a great person for rescuing him and for loving him the way you do. thank you for joining us, both of you. >> thank you.

breaking news on our economy. the number one issue. the brand-new jobless numbers live from the new york stock exchange. nicole has got them. stand by, you're next. and then he's the man behind these hillary losers tweets. senator rand paul is here live in moments. i

a fox news alert. labor department released its brand-new monthly jobs report. nicole petallides from fox business has it live from the new york stock exchange. so give them to us. >> let me give them to you. so the actual numbers for the latest month of october, 214,000

jobs created. slight less than the estimates of 231,000. the month, the unemployment rate drops to 5.8% from 5.9%. so pretty good here. we've had our great recession. we've had the slowest recovery since our great recession. but at least we're going in the right direction. what's interesting and a theme that i continue to hear is about what americans are feeling. you have the americans who are unemployed for 27 weeks or longer. then you have the americans who are either taking part-time jobs because they can't find full-time jobs, and even those who have full-time jobs yet aren't even able to survive. with that, that may be one of the reasons you heard what you heard in the midterm elections, hoping for some change ultimately. couple of pieces of good news. we've had some great corporate earnings and that has helped in addition to the election on tuesday to move the markets to record highs. oil has been low and gasoline, below $3 a gallon for the first time in four years. and that is a big deal because

that, too, at least puts extra cash in americans' pockets. that is the overall environment. but if you have the 401(k) and iras, we've seen the dow and the s & p this week at record all-time highs. >> great news. thank you so much. don't miss nicole on the "fox business" network. to find it go to foxbusiness.com/channelfinder. there she is. happy friday. enjoy your weekend. >> buy. coming up, he's the man behind these hillary loser tweets. senator rand paul. he's live next. but first let's check in to what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> good morning to all three of you. there is so much intrigue at the white house today. where are we heading, america? that's not understated. juan williams, mary katherineham, steve haze will define it for us today. cory gardner with a commanding win in colorado senate race. what did this election teach

him? we'll ask him about that live. why did the president write a letter to iran's leader? what to expect out of that. what do we get from that? k.t. mcfarlapped will analyze. see you in a few minutes as we wrap up a big and long week here on "america's newsroom." see you at the top of the hour. while every business is unique,

a repudiation basically of the president's policies, but also hillary clinton. hillary clinton and bill clinton have been all over the place. they're trying to make it out as if they're somehow better for democrats. in kentucky they were soundly rejected. >> kentucky senator rand paul on election night firmly placing the blame on hillary clinton for a number of democrats stinging

midterm losses. to further prove that point, senator paul posted facebook pictures of hillary with a number of losers. the democrats she wound up campaigning for. and senator rand paul joins us right now live from our nation's capitol. good morning to you, senator. >> good morning. >> okay. so they all lost. she was in all those races injecting herself into it. what are you trying to say? >> you know, they actually ran as clinton democrats. they tried to separate themselves from the president and there is this whole mantra that developed during the campaign where the president is unpopular, but hillary is popular. my point is they all ran to separate themselves from the president, they wanted to be associated as clinton democrats, and they all were soundly rejected. so there is a message here about hillary clinton as much as there is a message about the president. >> sure. i can't tell you how many times i heard during this campaign cycle where the president is really unpopular.

so know what? let's get our secret weapon, let's get a clinton to come talk to us. >> they've been saying that in kentucky for 20 years, ever since clinton won kentucky. but the only reason bill clinton won in kentucky was because ross perot was in the race. no clinton has ever carried a majority of kentucky. i think they're fooling themselves in the south and also the 1990s was a long time ago. it was another era. there weren't many conservative democrats left. the party has become so liberal that it's left most conservative democrats in the south. so i don't know. i don't think there is such a clinton caceh as there once was. >> but you know what? when you came out with that list on election night, there were a number of people who said that makes it official, rand paul is taking a shot at hillary clinton, he's running for president. >> well, she is seen as the leader in her party and the potential leader in their nominating process. i think it's a mistake to let someone -- i'm not talking about

whether i'm running, but to let someone run unopposed. in the past we haven't gone after the opposing party's nominee to say who they are and what they represent. i think she is going to try to say oh, i'm different than president obama. he's very unpopular. but i have different policies. she was part of his administration and i really don't know of many, if any, policies they disagree on. >> sure. i tell you what, on election day, we had our exit pollsters out there and they had a clipboard and asked all sorts of people all sorts of questions. one of them was -- had is a question they asked just the republicans -- would rand paul make a good president? look at that. you get 78%. i believe on that particular poll you were number two behind only rick perry of the great state of texas. with a good number like that, in your head, what are you thinking? maybe this would work out? >> i am thinking maybe. we're going to keep looking at it for the next six months or

so. and as i go around the country and i'll continue to travel, i want to make the party bigger. i think we have to have a more diverse party. we need more african-americans, more hispanics, more youth, more young women. we have to be a bigger, broader party because there is still some states we can't do so well in. we did a lot better on election night. but we still struggled in michigan and struggling in pennsylvania, struggling in california, new york. we have to change the demographic of who we attract and i think you only do that by bringing fresh, new ideas. >> i think one of the messages of the mid terms, senator, is the fact that you look at some of these people, republicans who won, they had a real positive tone to their campaigns. they were looking rather than the party of no, it's the party of you know what? we're going to go and try to make this happen. >> yeah. some of the biggest victories weren't in the u.s. senate. some of the biggest victories were governors races. bruce rauner in illinois, that's a huge victory for republicans. governor of massachusetts, as well as maryland. those are huge victories and

unexpected. so i think something is going on. i know with bruce rauner's election, he talked a lot about school choice and trying to bring a better education to people who live in the big cities. i think if you can show that concern and show that we have new ideas, i think all of a sudden, a whole raft of new people are going to be interested in what we have to talk about. >> so is that going to be your message going forward, looking to the future of something that is positive rather than downer? >> yes. school choice is one big positive issue. another one for cities is i've been to detroit several times and talked about economic opportunity. i would dramatically lower the taxes in detroit a billion dollars and that would be the stimulus for detroit. i don't think democrats really have anything to counteract that with or really have shown much concern for those who live in detroit. >> all right. the guy behind hillary's losers hash tag, senator rand paul, thank you for joining us. >> thanks. one for the road comes up next. stick around.

one for the road. >> before we go, get excited. starbucks is bringing back its eggnog latte. after getting bombard with letter, e-mails and social media post, officials changed their minds. the drink returns by november 17, as does gingerbread latte. >> some men believe in doing some things wrong the very first time they try it. in new study is claiming three in ten men regularly mess up household chores so that they aren't asked to do them again. like cleaning the shower, doing laundry. those are among some of the top chores that men are likely to botch on purpose. >> this weekend, clayton, you
