the white house response? just listen. >> i think it's actually republicans who haven't been particularly transparent or even honest about the true impact of this. >> josh, you never let us down. we're going to let job try try -- let josh try to explain that one. >> bill clinton asking yornlg -- george bush hash tag why are you still not on twitter and his response priceless. mornings are better with friends. >> hi, this is yaoming. >> we had him on the show yesterday. he's a very tall man. >> what a gentle soul. >> turk -- tucker carlson joins us here. and ainsley is in for elisabeth. i'm sure a lot of you saw

the special last nate, part 2 of the man who killed osama bin laden. even though we all know how the story ends, it was impossible to turn away. >> he can tell a story too. not only a man of action, a man of words. >> he's a guy who came from humble beginnings and then this is the guy who is so important, the guy who took down the man responsible for 9/11. >> we've got highlights for today's program but right now the headlines. >> we have news to tell you about. we begin with a fox news alert. is the president about to offer a pass to millions of illegals? fox news has exclusively learned president obama is getting ready to push through his own immigration overhaul. it would stop the deportation for more than 4.5 million adults with american-born children, make looser rules for immigrants who came to this country as minors and border patrol agents would get a pay increase. while you were sleeping the

white house dodged questions about the plan. >> the president has not made a final decision at this point about exactly what will be included. he will try to address some of the problems associated with our broken immigration system. as you know, the president is still planning to make decisions and announce them prior to the end of this calendar year. >> these changes could come as early as next week. it is strike three for obamacare. architect jonathan gruber. he was caught on camera once again calling the american people stupid. >> you know, exploitation of the lack of economic understanding of the american voter. >> some republicans now calling for a new hearing to find out if the white house intentionally misled americans to pass obamacare. overnight chief white house correspondent ed henry traveling with the president in burma, went head to head with press secretary josh earnest. >> why would one of the architects of the law

suggest that you were misheeding? >> i'm not sure. the fact of the matter is the process associated with writing and passing and implementing the affordable care act has been extraordinarily transparent. >> one of the world's most wanted women dead. a report claiming the british terrorist known as the white widow was gunned down by a russian sniper in ukraine. it is believed she was fighting with isis and training female jihadists in syria. her husband was the bomber who blew up the london subway in 2005 killing 26 people. >> a presidential faceoff on social media between george w. bush and bill clinton. number 42 tweeting a picture of himself reading w's new book saying, quote, received my copy of 41 by number 43, george w. bush. touching tribute. with the hash tag how are you still not on twitter?

there, but as you hear in this first segment of the show hast -- last night, they were pretty sure that when they took the 90-minute flight via helicopter from afghanistan to pakistan -- they hadn't told pakistan we're going to get him -- they could be shot down at any time. here's rob o'neill. >> we don't know if they can see us or not and if they do, they can justify and shoot us down and we cannot be mad. everyone is kind of handling this in their own way, so we're beginning to realize i can take a missile right now and blow up at any time and wondering what it feels like to get shot out of the sky. do you die right away or after you fall? i learned on a reconnaissance surveillance mission you get very bored watching something so i would learn to cut from zero to a thousand and a

thousand to zero to keep my mind working. as i'm counting for some reason, i remembered a quote from george w. bush on 9/11, >> freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward and freedom will be defended. >> and i kind of got goose bumps and first thought how in the world did i remember that? then i thought forget counting, i started saying that over. freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward. freedom will be defended. >> amazing. >> it's amazing how clear-headed he is going into all of this and also the risks he faces from one of our purported allies pakistan thinking he could get shot down at any minute. >> when i was watching that last night i thought i'm sure that was going through his mind because it was so loud, they said they were flying low to stay under radar. but still, all of the wind when they're trying to land around that compound. >> absolutely. plus as you saw last night, one of the helicopters was

forced down. there was a problem with the draft. because one of the thee hero army pilots was able to guide it, everybody survived, essentially a hard crash landing at the bin laden compound. >> it is unbelievable. >> they have gotten everybody safely off the helicopters and starting to assault the house. after about 15 minutes, rob o'neill, our hero seal right here, finds himself on the second floor and there is a night of stairs. there is one man ahead of him and he's number two. they're waiting for more people to make a train so they can go up to clear but they're all busy on the second noor. so the two of these guys go up. the first guy and rob is right behind him. what the first guy does to make sure that the mission gets off is unbelievable. listen to this. >> he went to the curtain and most of the women were right there, the daughters and one of the wives. he sort of grabbed them and

he tackled them, tied them, walking them down the hallway and he laid on top of them assuming they were going to blow up. he gave his life so the guy behind him who he didn't know who he was could get a shot because he knew bin laden was in there. i pushed him down the hallway and turned to my right and standing two feet in front of me with his hands on his wife's shoulders behind her was the face that i had seen thousands of times. o.b.l. very quickly did i recognize him and then it was just pop, pop, pop. >> he said it was muscle memory that allowed him to react that quickly. >> isn't it fascinating that osama bin laden put his wife in front of him. he said she was in front of him. his hands were on his shoulders and he sees his face and shoots him in the face. >> this big guy, osama bin laden, was using his wife as a human shield.

>> there were rumors at the beginning that o.b.l. put his wife in front of him, then another source said that is not true. turns out it is true. >> the big question is this was on may 2, 2011. why has he waited all these many years? well, as it turns out, he had no intention of telling the story, but in the middle of the summer, he called peter doocy and said peter, i am going to donate to the 9/11 museum the shirt i was wearing when we had the raid on bin laden's house. and something happened there, and inside the museum where he was just going to drop off the shirt and then get out, but they asked him to speak and he did for about 20 minutes. and he gave the families so much closure, he said i'm going to tell my story. because the family hearing what it was like at the end of bin laden's life gave them such comfort. here's one of the members and then you're going to hear from rob.

>> i want to thank you. my son and carol's daughter [inaudible] >> that is the reason that we went, accepting death the way we did, because it wasn't for ourselves to get the big mission and have bragging rights. the reason we went on a mission knowing we were probably going to die more than likely not to come home was for the single mom who went to work on tuesday morning and hater that morning she made a -- and later that morning she made a conscious decision to jump because it was better than burning alive. i thought it would be irresponsible of me not to give everyone else closure that it's over. yes, there's personal risk to doing this but i've accepted personal risk

before because it's bigger than me. it is not about me. everyone i talked to someone about 9/11 it is an incredible feeling to give them that. >> that is a really unusual attitude. i'm willing to accept death because i believe in the principle, i believe in the country. i want to avenge the loss of others. that is selfless. >> and willing to tell his story even though he can be putting himself in danger and at risk now because of this, but said he wants to gi the families closure. and also i think all of us closure. when i was watching last night, we all went through this together. obviously most of us didn't lose loved ones, and my heart goes out to those moms, dad, wives, brothers and sisters. but to hear his story as an american, it wraps it up for me as well. >> my impression is that he isn't getting any aid from the u.s. government, protection. >> he hasn't written a book. obviously we don't pay him for this interview. >> he's just doing it because he wanted the story told for the families to help them out.

is he in danger? that's his real face, that is his real name. peter doocy who got the world exclusive will be joining us in about two hours from now. >> he's going to talk to one of the dads that was there at the memorial. >> one of the guys in the special. what a two hours. very, very powerful. >> very good. >> all right. once again, more on this a little later on. >> coming up, the video is sickening. american sailors under attack. where this is happening and what's being done about it. >> the same university that employed bill ayers as the weather underground now considering hiring another terrorist. we've got details straight ahead. ♪ ♪ ♪

revolution. he was a maoist, hated the united states. that is why they're spowfght -- supporting him? >> he was part of a robbery where a mother was murdered. they were doing it to support warfare. they are asking for him to be reinstated and say he's been open about his convictions and it was because of political activity. that is as absurd as calling the incident at chappaquidick aquatic sports. >> the university of illinois is a state niewtion. -- institution.

requires. here's what he's basically doing. when he says i'm going to grant amnesty to 4.5 million to 5 million people, he's basically telling the department of homeland security and the department of justice not to enforce the law. the law is you're here dpleelly, you have to -- you're here illegally, you have to leave and come back legally. whether it is a good law or bad law, a humane law or inhumane law he took an oath to enforce the laws faithfully. the reason faithfully is in is because the drafters of the constitution that the lawmakers not to enforce laws with which they disagree. that is why the word faithfully is in the oath. >> remember when ronald reagan granted clemency to millions who were here illegal livment

>> that was perfectly lawful. >> he went along with it because congress said, mr. president, if you sign this, we will secure the border. he said okay, i'm going to sign it. fast forward to today, there is nothing from the congress. >> correct. when the president effectively says you're here illegally, but do this, this and this and no one will deport you, the this, this and this is effectively the president rewriting the law. under the constitution, only the congress can rewrite the law. so you have the president rewriting the law and you have the president failing to comply with his oath. what does that equal? that equals serious violations of the constitution. that equals offenses that rise to the level of impeachability. whether they want to impeach him i'm not suggesting they should and i don't think they will. but that's the constitutional remedy for presidential behavior this wide of the mark. >> this is the problem when the department of justice which is supposed to be the referee before the supreme court gets involved has their finger, they've got

their finger on the scales. they're on one side. >> guess what? we're about to have a new head of the department of justice, loretta lynch, an excellent professional prosecutor. i suggest to the senate, the judiciary committee that they ask her would you advise the president of the united states of america not to enforce the laws on five million people that are here illegally and see what kind of an answer she gives. a decision by eric holder and a decision by president obama, but she's going to be walking in the middle of this maelstrom. >> thank you. coming up, the man who killed osama bin laden says he decided to speak because of this emotional dad and others. >> you killed the devil. >> that man who lost his son joins us live straight ahead. is one packet of catsup enough for you? these students say no. the student who came with a plan to fight the federal

because i know there are a lot of issues that high high schools are dealing with. is this something that is at the forefront of your mind? is this something that we need to be focusing on or are there other bigger issues? >> i think this is of huge issue because it's what fuels kids throughout the day. some kids go to sports or an extracurricular activity after school. if they're not getting the necessary nutrients they need during the day, how are they going to go through that extracurricular activity? >> i guess i was meaning the federal government. should they be getting involved in what we eat instead of the drug problems in schools? anyway, we wish you the best today with the protest. i'm glad that you're such a leader among your peers. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> have a great day. coming up, it would be a first in the nation. a town wants to ban the sale of every single cigarette and cigar. can they do that? is it legal? and he is one of the few conservatives in hollywood. so what does kirk cameron think about the move to remove

it's all nice to say thursday. we're down to the weekend, november 13. i'm ainsley earhart fill not guilty for elisabeth this morning. the man who took down bin laden and the moment that he came face-to-face with the world's most wanted man. >> it was less than a second. half a second. just walk him, saw him, shot him. he was a threat. >> the gripping play by play account of that mission told for the very first time by the navy seal himself. and the architect of obamacare says stupid americans got that bill passed. so what happened when we asked the white house about that? >> i think it's actually republicans who haven't been

particularly transparent and honest about the true impact of those. >> ed henry was asking all the right questions. he joins us live this hour with more of that mysterious explanation. and parents, are your children picky eaters? they all are. well, according to this new book, do you ever wish you could just tell them to [ bleep ] their vegetables? that's with they do with this book. tucker, this is your copy. >> it works, by the way. >> we're going to tell but this guy who has written this book and it's selling a lot of copies. thank you for joining us on this thursday. you're watching "fox & fends". >> hi. this is kirk cameron and you're watching "fox & friends." >> and he's watching "fox & friends" 'cause he's in the green room right now. >> that was my crush when i was in fourth grade. >> really? >> yeah. >> did you get to talk to him? >> no. i'm excited about it. >> you're a little nervous? >> not nervous.

i'm past that. i would have been a few years ago maybe. >> we'll ask him. it wasn't that long ago i was in fourth grade, you know. i wish. >> great to have you guys and you as well. we got a busy news day. 4 1/2 million illegals in this country could soon get a free pass to stay here. fox news has obtained president obama's plan to use executive action to overhaul the immigration policy of this country. leeland vittert with the exclusive details. >> reporter: good morning. president obama all along said he would do something about immigration if he needed to, he would do it on his own and it looks like he might do a lot more than just something. according to our source, he will make wholesale changes to immigration that could come as early as next week for an announcement, including suspending deportation for illegal immigrants who came to the u.s. as children, payments of u.s. citizens, and for legal permanent residents. that number is in the millions

of people. the plan would also expand the criteria on president obama's previous carveout for illegals who originally came across the border as kids. critics in the senate say those who receive deferred action, which is what the president calls this, receive work authorization in the united states, including social security numbers and even government-issued i.d.s. >> fundamentally, the president has no authority to do this. >> let's be clear, immigration officers have told us if this goes through, it will be almost impossible to enforce the law in the future. >> the president is still planning to make some decisions and announce them prior to the end of this calendar year. that should be an indication to you that the president is near ago final decision. >> josh earnest walking a very fine line saying the president has yet to make a final decision, though. the plan also includes increasing pay for immigration officers, as well as beefing up

border security. remember, the timing here is critical. it was just in the past few days that speaker boehner has said the president going it alone on immigration would, quote, poison the well going forward. obviously the lame duck session of congress just began yesterday here and there is going to be a very, very hot potato over the next couple of weeks. guys, back to you. >> thank you very much. last night was part 2 of the man who killed osama bin laden. this is something everybody knows how the story ends. and yet while many people have written books and there have been movies done, we've never actually heard from the guy who killed osama bin laden. >> peter has done an excellent job. last night was the second part of that series and he describes being -- rob o'neill, describes being on that helicopter flying into the air space, flying over the border of pakistan and knowing at any minute, he could

be shot down. he said it's such an erie feeling. this is how he got through it. >> we don't know if they can see us or not and if they do, they can justifiably shoot us down and we can't be mad because they're defending their nation. so everyone is kind of handling this in their own way. the weird feeling to realize that i can take a missile right now and blow up at any time, wondering what it feels like to get shot out of the sky. do you die right away or after you fall? i learned it gets boring for 72 hours watching something. so i'm counting from zero to 1,000 and 1,000 to zero and i'm speeding it up and slowing it down to keep my mind work. as i'm counting, for some reason, i remembered a quote from george w. bush, on 9-11 -- >> freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless

coward and freedom will be defended. >> i kind of got goose bumps. first, how in the world did i just remember that? and then i thought, forget counting, i started saying that, freedom itself was attacked this morning. >> this man is not only brave, he's the embody iiment. he describes the actual moment his encounter with osama bin laden. it's lacking any thrill. it's so great. >> he tells the story just as it happened. keep in mind, there were several seals looking for bin laden. he was told, we learned last night f the c.i.a. analyst who -- if you watch the movie, you know jessica chastain played her in the movie. she said to him, if you want to get him, he's on the third floor. so all the seals there, they're going floor by floor, they're on the second floor. they're trying to go up to the

third floor, but all the other seals, except one, are clearing the balance of the floor. they're going room by room looking for bin laden. so it's one guy ahead of rob and then rob. they're waiting for somebody else and they're not coming. so the guy in front says, something is going on at the top of the steps. earlier he had taken a single shot. and there was some suggestion that was the shot that got bin laden. rob says that's not the case. but it's this one guy in front of rob, rob is right behind him. they go up the stairs and this happened. >> he went to the curten and most of the women were right there. the daughters and one of the wives. he sort of grabbed them and tooked them, kind of walking in the hallway and laid on top of them, assuming they were going to blow up. so he gave his life so the guy behind him that he didn't know who it was gave a shot because he knew bin laden was in there. he did that and i had my hand on him and pushed him down the hallway and turned to the right

and standing on two feet in front of me with his hands on his wife's shoulders behind her was the face i had seen thousands of times, qbl. very quickly when i recognized him, it was pop, pop, pop. >> so he wound up taking the shots simply by luck. it was just luck that he was the second guy up the stairs because it was going to be somebody and as it turns out -- >> aren't you glad we know this, though? that we know in his final moments, osama bin laden did not die like a man courageously. he died cowering behind his wife. i'm glad history will record that. >> i agree with you. i'm so glad mr. o'neill, navy seal, was so brave not only to do what he did, but to sit in front of the camera with your son and tell his story because he's putting his own life at risk. but because of what he's telling us, we have a picture, a mental

picture and it's giving closure to all the families who lost loved ones on 9-11. >> absolutely. so they have killed bin laden, but they still have to take the body back out in the yard at one point, some of the -- either the snipers or the seals -- snipers, i should say, they take a dna sample and they have it right here so that they can put that on one of the choppers and they're going to take his body back on another chopper in case something goes hay wire with one of them, they have proof that they killed bin laden. so they're taking bin laden. they go through pakinstani air space which for 90 minutes, they could have killed them. they make it there safely. they land at bagram in afghanistan happily. and then it starts to sink in. rob o'neill is eating a breakfast sandwich and they're watching television and they see the president and here is how he recounted it.

>> we were watching it. it was actually on fox news. we're kind of seeing the buzz. we all walked over and got some breakfast and then i walked back to my spot and i'm standing two feet away from osama bin laden and i'm watching tv and the president comes out and everyone is all quiet and he said -- >> tonight i can report to the american people and to the world the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden, the leader of al-qaeda. >> i stopped listening right there. i hear him say osama bin laden and then i look at osama bin laden. and i literally wonder how in the world did i get here from butte, montana. >> what a story. the special we've aired over the last two nights is a great recruiting film for the navy seals and military service. after watching it, don't you just -- if you ever saw the guy on the street, wouldn't you want to shake his hand and say thank you very much? we're going in here and have a

beer. >> exactly. >> when i'm watching that, everyone cheering, don't you remember where you were when you heard that? >> absolutely. >> yeah. vividly. >> everything you want him to be. there is mo disappointment at all. when you meet this man, you don't think i'm disappointed. you think, i'm so glad that someone like that is defending the country. >> i know his dad is so proud of him. peter talked to his dad a lot. i was thinking, i bet when he's holding his son as a child, he never would have thought this guy is going to be a hero one day. god has big plans for this child's life. he went on to shoot a man who took down the world trade center, someone who we all can't stand and hate and this guy is a hero. >> the best line of all was, i literally wondered how in the world did i get here from montana. >> right. exactly. >> all right. coming up, mr. o'neill says he decided to speak out now because of this emotional father. >> why did god do this? every single day, he said god

didn't do this, the devil did this and you killed the devil. >> you killed the devil! >> that man who lost his son on 9-11 first responder, is going to join us live only here in ten minutes. stay with us. you're watching "fox & friends." how it's time for headlines with heather. >> can i just say something else that struck me about o'neill? when he said he couldn't believe -- he said it in this order. we got bin laden and we're still alive. >> right. >> that just shows our military, he wanted to accomplish the mission first. that was the most important toe. good job to all those guys. true heros. brand-new information for you this morning. the white house saying that any vote on the keystone pipeline will go nowhere. the reason? the president will veto it. that won't stop lawmakers, though. two of them locked in a runoff battle for louisiana senate from introducing legislation to begin construction on the pipeline. democrat mary landrieu just secured a senate vote for next

rob o'neill, the navy seal who shot osama bin laden, says he is sharing his story exclusively with fox news for

the victims of 9-11 and their families. >> why did god do this? every single day he said, god didn't do this. the devil did this and you killed the devil. >> you killed the devil! >> that's our next guest. he was part of that emotional meeting at the 9-11 museum. his son, james, nypd detective, died in 2005. here is his picture. he became the first officer whose death was attributed to exposure to chemicals at ground zero and his story actually inspired o'neill to come forward. joseph zadroga joins us now. so we saw that emotional video of when you met mr. o'neill this summer. what was that experience like for you? >> it was very, very emotional meeting him for the first time and knowing that he was the one that shot him and put an end to that trauma that we felt that

day at 9-11. >> we learned in the special last night and the night before, the reason we all know his story and he told his story and came forward is because of you and the other family members that he met this summer. how do you feel about that? >> i'm just hearing about that from this special yesterday. i didn't realize that. i only told him how i felt that day and how gratified that we were that he was able -- not him, but the seal unit was able to accomplish the mission that day and it put an end to the waiting to destroy that individual who i call the devil that day. my granddaughter used to always ask, why did god let this happen? that she lost her father. and i would tell her, it wasn't god. it was the devil that did it. he was the one that did that day, planned that event. it was great that we sent him to hell that day.

>> still emotional for you. >> still is, yes. >> what do you miss most about your son? >> he was my companion. he was my fishing buddy. we used to go fishing all the time together. we were very close and he was a police officer. i was a police officer. obviously we had that bond and because we had the bond, father, son. but he was my buddy. we used to do a lot of things together. >> your son is our hero and now i know you are helping raising his children and i'm sure you're doing a fine job. thank you so much. i'm glad you got some closure because of his story. >> thank you. well, christmas removed from the school calendar. yes, because it offends muslims. so what does kirk cameron think about that? he's one of the few conservatives in hollywood still. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪

a. very clever, basic quotation of the lack of economic understanding of the american voter. >> the american voter -- call it the stupidity of the american voter or whatever. i basically spoke inappropriately. lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. this bill was written in a tortured way to make sure the cbo did not score it as a tax. if they did, it would die. i regret having made those comments. you can make it all transparent, but i'd rather have this law

than not. >> turns out he said it all the time. those are just three of the disturbing yet honest comments apparently from one of the obamacare architects, professor jonathan gruber. >> it seems to be where honesty ends. ed henry joins us this morning who is traveling with the president and he asked the white house for an explanation on what gruber meant when he said he lied to get obamacare through. what did you ask and what happened next? >> reporter: good to see you. it appears what gruber was saying is that the end justifies the means, that they were not completely straight with the american people, but in the end, the benefits of the new law, the new health care law mattered so much all around the country that it doesn't really matter how they sold it. when i pressed josh earnest about that a couple hours ago here in burma, he said, look, the president gave a lot of speeches, there were town hall meetings, they were transparent about what was in the law, but i pressed and said look what, jonathan gruber is saying is you were not transparent on some of

the down sides, the taxes, et cetera, because jonathan gruber is saying as one of the architects of the law that you never would have gotten the law passed. isn't this a problem that you were not straight with the american people? here is josh earnest. >> to suggest voters are stupid and that's how you packed it, you don't feel bad about that at all? >> i disagree with that assessment is what i would say. the fact of the matter is, this was a very difficult undertaking, but ultimately a law that had significant benefits for millions of people. its republicans who have been less than forthright and transparent about what their proposed changes to the affordable care act would do in terms of the choices that are available to middle class families. >> reporter: now, the white house wants to turn the page on all of that and instead they want to talk about the president's mission in asia, trade deals he's trying to get, specifically here in burma, trying to tout what he believes is a big foreign policy achievement which is trying to get a transition from the

military dictatorship to the early stages of democracy here in burma. i think what's going on back there in washington is very clear is that republicans are saying that because of these videotapes that have emerged, they're going to have a series of hearings trying to get jonathan gruber and other advisors, architects of the law to come forward and testify under oath in january and beyond once republicans have the house and senate to get to the bottom of what they really believe behind the scenes. >> all right. ed henry with i believe our first live shot ever from the country of burma where it is 7:06. he's got night, we got morning. >> you did a great job. >> i got a feeling he's really jet lagged out. >> i'm sure he is. let's toss it over to my friend, heather childers. we're both filling in. >> that's right. we have other stories we're following. caught on camera, u.s. navy sailors targeting extremists in turkey.

you're probably going to run into khalid bin laden on the stairs. if you do, that's the last line of defense. the guy in front was sort of separated by a bannister between him and khalid and he just whispered to him, whispered his name and he whispered, come here in arabic and that confused him because there wasn't a lot of yelling and screaming and go, go, go. he was armed and turned over and peek over and said what? armed, shoot, shot him. that was just because of his spot on intelligence by the c.i.a. telling us where this person will be. >> so there he is giving credit where credit is due. they wouldn't have been there had it not been by the great work of the c.i.a. also in the special he gives a lot of props to the pilots, the other seals. he thanks everybody. yet there are, i'm sure you've been reading, there are some who said, you know with a? he spilled too many beans.

this is still technically a classified mission even though there have been movies and books. the white house has gone ahead and -- before an election, they told us all they possibly could to make the white house look good. >> and they never stopped bragging about it as if the president himself executed this mission physically and shot osama bin laden with his own firearm. this pete hegseth is often on fox, an expert on these matters. talking to megyn kelly about where the blame lies for publicizing this classified mission. watch. >> i don't put this on o'neill. i really don't. i put this on a white house that ran like giddy school children to the "new york times" to give away every sipple detail they could about the mission to make themselves look good. vice president who did just that. across the board, ringing the bell about the nature of this mission. the last person to tell his story was rob o'neill. was the seal who pulled the trigger. >> he was the last and now the first was joe biden. joe biden revealed the

classified detail that it was seal team six and seal team families felt that put a big target on them. of course, that was couple years ago. >> i definitely understand the debate around this for sure. but just as an american, i'm really glad to know these details. this is history. this is not just any mission. this was eliminating osama bin laden. this is closure for 9-11. i'm really grateful to know what happened. >> me, too. and it made me proud to be an american and proud of our troops. so we asked you and here are some of your responses. ronnie on facebook, this historic event needs to be public. it was a direct response from bin laden's attack on september 11. >> kathy writes, i always thought that we should know. not expose how we handle our military operations. >> jill on facebook says, i am grateful. he is courageous enough to tell his story. we now have a personal account instead of any future conspiracy theories. >> that's such a smart point that i hadn't thought of. that's exactly right. >> you want to hear from the guy who was -- >> that's totally right.

themselves. a lot of parents made them know this let them know they're not alone and not the only ones struggling to eat and sleep. >> absolutely. we should point out, not in a million years should you actually read this to your children. >> no. it would take a particularly blend of literacy and illiteracy to read this book to a child. it says the f word on the cover. on the back, it says you probably shouldn't read this to a child. >> are you getting some criticism? >> no. i think at this point people get it. i'll occasionally got an e-mail from somebody who is confused about the purpose of the book. but i think parents get it. people give it as a baby shower gift. things like that. >> do you write from experience? >> absolutely. my daughter is 6 1/2. she's a very adventureous eater, but not consistent. >> you're saying all these lines have gone through your heads while feeding your kid? >> this is the authentic parental inner monologue of anybody who has dealt with a kid. >> how many millions of copies

honest about the true impact of this. >> okay. we need more of that twisted explanation and you'll get it straight ahead. what odd job could be so urgent that this guy needed to stuff a chain saw down his pants? >> what? >> we have the answer. mornings way better with friends. >> it's time for "fox & friends" ♪ ♪ >> kind of feel like monty hall, behind door number one, that is motor trend's car of the year. it will be revealed live on this program in just a couple of minutes. so stick around. >> monty hall. nice. >> carol meryl. >> the best. >> i know. >> thank you very much for joining us. tucker is in, ainsley is in. heather is in.

>> we have some headlines to bring to you at this hour. nice to see everyone. we begin with a fox news alert. is the president about to offer a free pass to millions of illegal immigrants? fox news has exclusively learned president obama is getting ready to push through his own immigration overhaul. it would halt the deportations of more than 4 1/2 million adults with american-born children, changing the age of those eligible from 31 to 16 years old, and border agents would get a pay raise. the white house not denying the plan. they're not denying it. only saying that no decision has been made. these changes could come as early as next week. and strike three for obamacare jonathan gruber, caught on camera calling the american people stupid. >> it's a very clever exploitation of the lack of economic understanding of the american voter. >> some republicans now calling

for new hearings to find out if the white house intentionally misled americans to pass obamacare. overnight, ed henry traveling with the president in burma went head to head with press secretary josh earnest. >> why would one of the architects of the law suggest that you were misleading us? >> well, i'm not sure frankly. the pack of the matter is, the process is associated with writing and passing and implementing the affordable care act has been extraordinarily transparent. >> think it has been? one of the world's most wanted women dead. a new report claiming the british terrorist known as the white widow was gunned down bay russian sniper in ukraine. it is believed that she was fighting alongside isis and training female jihaddists in syria. her husband was the bomber who blew up the london subway back in 2005 that left 26 people dead. and then there is this. this shop owner never saw -- get

it -- never saw it coming. a man tries to steal a $600 chain saw from a lawn equipment store in florida by stuffing it down his pants. that is right, before he waddled right out the door. the bizarre crime caught on surveillance video. the man was arrested and charged with grand theft. those are a look at your headlines. still not the safest place. >> you generally don't put a chain saw in your pants. >> not generally. >> then you know where it is. >> excellent point. >> never forget. look who is here. it's the reporter who got the scoop of his generation, peter doocy, who interviewed rob o'neill who was revealed himself to be the navy seal who killed osama bin laden. good morning, peter. >> good morning. >> good morning to you. >> thank you. >> we've been staying up late. we normally are in bed by 8:00 o'clock. not the last two nights. >> she stayed up on a school night for the first time in my life last night.

>> two nights in a row. we're going to play some of the clips that peter had in his special last night. the first one we're going to set up is how rob -- remember yesterday when we were talking to you about the mission. rob o'neill was pretty sure it was a suicide mission. they heard about it. they knew that the house was probably going to be booby trapped as soon as they got there, or people would have on belt bombs and they would explode them. so they knew that it was a suicide mission and yet they went. plus the added danger of they had to fly over pakistan for hundreds of miles. so here is rob o'neill, the navy seal talking about we might not even make it to bin laden's house. >> we don't know if they can see us or not and if they do, they can justifiably shoot us town and we can't be mad because they're defending their nation. so everyone is kind of handling this in their own way. the weird feeling to realize that i can take a missile right

now and blow up at any time. wondering what's it feel like to get shot out of the sky? do you die right away or after you fall? i learned as sniper that it gets boring for 72 hours watching something. so i would learn to count to keep my mind occupied. i'm counting from zero to 1,000 and 1,000 to zero. i'm speeding it up and slowing it down to keep my mind work. as i'm counting, for some reason i remembered a quote from george w. bush on 9-11. >> freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward and freedom will be defended. >> i kind of got goose bumps. first off, how in the world did i just remember that? and then i thought, forget counting. i started saying that, freedom itself was attacked by a faceless coward. >> that's what he was saying as he went in. >> that's a phrase he will not forget, right? >> he's not going to forget it any time soon. he actually got back to virginia

beach and that quote was still in his head. he's got it tattooed on his arm. >> and after the very long process of doing that, when it was time to pay -- >> he asked artist what do i owe you? the guy said, i think you've done enough. >> i'm so struck by so many things about this man of the but among them, what a great story teller he is. >> he really is. and everybody in his family, you can tell when we were in montana shooting this and his dad is driving us around in the pick up truck 'cause we're trying o figure out places to go and talk, where we can kind of have privacy and get a sense of where he grew up. he is just an amazing character. that's who you want representing our country. >> the big question is, and we found out last night, is why is he, after three years, revealing his story now? in the middle of the summer, you got a call from him. he said, peter, i'm donating my shirt to the 9-11 museum. >> the shirt that he wore with had he killed osama bin laden.

>> why did he want you to go along? >> he and i have known each other for a long time and he just said, look, if some day i decide maybe on the tenths anniversary, 20th anniversary, 30th anniversary of bin laden's death that i want to go public, it would be great if we had this shirt donation that he did anonymously. there is a plaque and it doesn't have his name on it. it says there was in the room when bin laden died. he said it would be a nice thing to have video of, just in case. >> just in case. and so as it turns out, something happened during the donation when he thought he was just going to drop it off. but instead, he came face-to-face with some of the families of the victims and here is a little of that. >> you killed the devil! >> that's the reason that we went, accepting death the way we did because it wasn't for ourselves to get the big mission and have bragging rights.

the reason that we left on the mission knowing we're probably going to die, more than likely not come home, was for the single mom that went to work on tuesday morning and later that morning she made the conscious decision to jump to her death because it's better than burning alive. i thought that it would be irresponsible of me not to give everyone else closure that it's over. yes, there is personal risk, but i've accepted personal risk before because it's bigger than me. it's not about me. every time i've talked to someone that lost a loved one on 9-11, it's an incredible feeling to give them that. >> so that's why. he was trying to give comfort to the families. >> and i heard from some families through text message and twitter and e-mails and they say that they do have more closure now. that's what rob wants. that's why this is happening right now. >> athen. >> what was rob's response to some of the controversy?

several individuals that are saying, telling one story, he's telling another story. what was his response to that as to who actually shot osama bin laden? >> we asked him about that. we've got a clip. >> i think that war is foggy and i think that the author is telling the story as he saw it, and also based on what he heard. >> the debrief was miss ago few details? >> the debrief was cleaned up. it was miss ago few detail, yeah. it was fairly accurate. again, i can just speak on what i saw. there was a shot fired just before i got there. i don't know what happened. i didn't see what happened. again, when i went in the room, i can't say for 100% that he was hit when i went in the room. he could have been. but he was definitely on two feet and he was definitely moving. so he was there and i'll take a lie detector on that one. he for the most part is telling

what he saw and then what he heard. but he only knows what we told him. >> that's right. because he was one of the two guys who went up the stairs first. peter is going to be on facebook all morning long answering your questions. so go to the "fox & friends" web page. here is from jim on facebook, he asks, do you think he divulged any information that could jeopardize national security? >> no. and that was not what we were going for. that's not the kind of questions that we were asking him about. he just wanted to basically go into this story that we've already seen on the big screen and in magazine articles, and books and give a first person account for the first time. that's why these clips that we keep playing are so amazing, because nobody has done this before. nobody has said, i met osama bin laden in his bedroom and that i killed him. that's what rob o'neill did and that's why we are so proud of this story that is giving some

families closure. >> ken asks, what stands out most to you about your time spent with mr. o'neill and why? >> this is a guy who very willingly, very excitedly got on a helicopter thinking that he was going to die. then he kept his composure. all the navy seals kept their composure, then they survived, and then he came back and just went about his business just like -- knowing and keeping this big secret for so long until now. he sat on the fact that he was the guy who killed the world's most wanted man for years until now. >> we heard it this week in your special. peter, people in the building are describing this as the best program ever produced by fox news. so congratulations. i'm a little biased 'cause i'm your dad, but you did a hell of a job. >> thank you. we had a really, really good small team working on this. we had jonathan lee, dan cohen and adam harken, editor, who we basically unplugged and he sat up there for months working on

this. >> editing it by himself. >> yeah. he laid it all together. >> all four of you are talented individuals. we know all four of you. >> the crew was great, too. the shots in montana and that whole thing, i talked about this yesterday, but they turned a room at the holiday inn express in butte into basically a hollywood quality studio in a day and then broke it down. >> you know why they could do that? because they stayed at a holiday inn. peter doocy, excellent job. >> thanks. coming up, it is a heart breaking story. a three-year-old run over and killed by an illegal immigrant driver. how did this happen? our next guest, a form immigration and customs attorney, knows the answer. then what every child wishes for during this winter. >> no! >> not so fast, kids. a new move might make snow days a thing of the past.

i just heard the impact and i initially thought that he had hit -- my vehicle was parked out here. but when i was running out to see what had happened, my son was running back crying, screaming, mom, mom, call 911.

>> a drunk and unlicensed illegal immigrant charged with the death of a three-year-old girl. that happened in california as that girl waited for ice cream with her brothers. this tragic event coming as another ice attorney claims the obama administration officials pressured her to drop cases and release illegals who had criminal records, including those stopped for dui. our next guest says he experienced the change to lax enforcement firsthand as the former senior attorney with immigration and customs enforcement, ice, john, joins us live from orlando. good morning to you, john. >> good morning. steve, how are you? >> fine, thank you very much. it sounds like the president is -- okay. we framed this discussion with these problems that we currently have with our immigration process. right now it sounds like the president is about to announce a ten-points immigration plan, his own personal reform, through executive action. what do you think about that?

>> i think that unilateral action is huge and divisive as this issue has become, is absolutely the wrong way to go about it. executive action is a band-aid. it's a temporary fix. it's instant gratification and sure, it might feel good in the short-term and the people who benefit from it may feel good in the short run, but it is not a long-term fix to help the 11 million people who are in this country without status. most of which are not criminals. they are not individuals who we want to draw out of our country. they're hard working individuals and should have a chance to get long-term benefits in this country and not short-term executive action. >> you've spent your adult life thinking about how to fix this process and dedicated your career to it as well. washington is watching right now. what should they do? >> the president needs to be a leader.

he needs to work with congress. he needs to negotiate and come to the table and work with congress to pass a long-term solution to our immigration problem. these band-aids and these instant gratification executive actions are not going to help anyone because they could be changed on a whim. ice can take away deferred action for childhood arrivals at any given moment much they can change executive orders with the stroke of a pen as the president loves to talk about. and that's not a way to give these deserving individuals the benefits that they need and they deserve to stay in this country because it's a temporary fix to a huge, huge problem. >> absolutely. so you're saying do it the right way, mr. president. work with congress. let's see what he does. john, we thank you so much for your service to the country and joining us this morning live from orlando. >> thank you. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, late last night, we got the white house to finally go on the record about us stupid americans and health care. >> i think it's actually

republicans who haven't been particularly transparent or even honest about the true impact of those. >> that's good dodge ball. you'll hear more of his twisted explanation straight ahead. and motor cars, car of the year -- motor trend's, right over there.alis ♪ed t ♪

see -- >> up in lights. tony danza, why wouldn't you be. you're talking about the wyndham, reward sweepstakes. >> million dollars sweepstakes. today in times square, i'm the host. we're going to give away a million dollars to possibly four contestants. it's sort of a deal or no deal thing. you guys could come down. it starts at 10:30. there will be a lot of prizes, other prizes than the million dollars. so if you're out there and you want to come down, come down to times square. it's a beautiful day. it's not raining. this is the biggest rewards program in the country. the only thing these people did was sign up for it. now they're eligible for this million dollars sweepstakes. we're going to be out there today. so i hope everybody will come out and join us. we'll have a good time. >> fantastic. >> thanks so much for having me. >> so nice to have you.

>> coming up, late last night we got the white house to go on the record about those stupid americans. >> i think it's actually republicans who haven't been particularly transparent or even honest about the true impact of this. >> wow. there is a twisted explanation. we've got more of it. we'll tell what you it means coming up. then it's a presidential sweep down. bill clinton versus george w. bush. clinton wants to know why he's not on twitter. and wait until you see what bush is firing back. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ this is a beautiful day for bono. cheated death after the rear

door of his private jet ripped off into midair. >> whoa. >> he was it flying from dublin to berlin. he managed to stay in. but all of his luggage and that of his friends flew out and is gone forever. cue duck call. ♪ all you need is love ♪ . >> now you got this. ♪ if you like it, you should have put a ring on it. >> it was just a matter of time. "duck dynasty," the musical, is now in the works. the robertsons' life story headed to the vegas stage this february. hopefully after that, new york city. >> that is awesome. this week we've been telling you about some of the comments that were caught on camera by the m.i.t. professor, jonathan gruber, who assisted the white house in crafting the affordable care act, also known as obamacare. he revealed on camera quite specifically that the way they were able to pull it off was they used tortured language and they essentially deceived

americans about what was in the law. ed henry is on the road with the president and asked poor josh earnest, you know, let's talk about white house lack of transparency and earnest spun it and believe it or not, even though mr. gruber is saying that they deceived americans, it's republicans' fault. not kidding. listen to the sound bite. >> he also says that call it what you will, the stupidity of the american voter, if we had been more transparent, this wouldn't have passed. to suggest that voters are stupid and that's how you passed it, you don't feel bad about that at all? >> i disagree with that assessment. i think it is republicans who have been less than forthright and transparent about what their proposed changes to the affordable care act would do in terms of the choices that are available to middle class families. >> he made that stupidity comment not once, not twice as we reported a few days ago, but we've also found a third time

that he's made some comments. take a listen to this. >> wait, you're going to tax our health insurance? i say no, no, no. i'm gog end tax subsidies. they look at me and go you're going to tax my health insurance? you just can't get through. it's politically impossible. so despite the fact we -- until a second massachusetts hero arose, john kerry. he said, no, n. we're going to tax your health insurance. we're going to tax those evil insurance companies. we're going to impose a tax. so basically it's the same thing. we just tax the insurance companies, they pass on higher prices that offsets the tax break we get and it's the same thing. a very clever base exploitation of the lack of economic understanding of the american voter. >> well, it was clever until it was revealed. by the way, is that the truck you came in on, tucker? >> that's my personal coach. i travel back and forth to

washington. this guy, jonathan gruber, really was just to restate, one of the architects of obamacare, has never had a job outside of the academy. graduated from college. he's been at harvard or m.i.t. since he was basically a very young man. he's never intersected with reality at any point in his life. and he's the guy who is designing this program that's affecting all of us? >> you know what? in the run up to passage of this thing, they had some assistance by the main stream media because what he's saying is americans don't understand what's going on, but was that ever explained on the networks? it was explained here. but on the networks, take a look. his comment about essentially americans are stupid and they don't get what we're doing, zero coverage on the evening newscast. thanks to abc, thanks, cbs, thanks, nbc. >> for nothing. >> for nothing indeed. >> that's why you're stupid, according to him. right? >> by the way, you've got a point. people are not being informed if they're watching those channels.

>> it is 12 minutes before the top of the hour on this busy thursday. coming up, the unemployment rate in the country a little under 6%. but it's nearly double that in the black community. and it's even worse for young african-americans. but why and what can be done to fix this? we're going to talk to an expert how do you know your kids will love campbell's soup? well, it's been the number one soup in america. (slurp) (slurp) (slurp) (slurp) for four generations (family laughs) (gong) campbell's! m'm! m'm! good!

...the getaway vehicle! for all the confidence you need. td ameritrade. you got this.

a bombshell on the president's plan for illegal immigration and yet another comment from mr. gruber on the stupidity of the american people. karl rove and bret baier are here on that. chairman dempsey. are we beating isis? and do we have the upper hand? all that and much more when we see you at the top of the hour.

the nation unemployment rate for october, 6.5%. in the african-american community, it's 11% and much worse for the youngest african-american workers. 22% are without a job. >> so what should be done to turn things around? joining us now is senior pastor of the potter's house church, bishop t.d. jakes. what an honor. thank you so much for being with us. >> i'm glad to be here. >> so what is the problem? why the discrepancy? >> huge disparity and many reasons in my view. some of it is overt and covert racism continues to exist in this country and it's a problem that america doesn't always want to address. the other problem is just the low grade problem of not having the relationships and context of the white counterparts do to have opportunities for jobs. it's about who you know or who you went to school with, who has power to make decisions, to get

you into job positions when you don't have that -- education is a third issue. are you qualified for today's job market? sometimes you were qualified for the first 20 years of your life. now you've got people 40 and 50 years old having to reposition and recreate themselves because the job you had is not coming back. it's a real problem. >> so people have been thinking about this problem for an awful long time. lot of smart well meaning people have been. it's gotten worse in the past five years. why is that? >> i think it has gotten worse. i think we didn't recover as well as the general populous has done. i think some of the antidotes and solutions to that is job creation and intentionality. those people who make the decisions in our corporations have to be more deliberate about it as fox has been in going out and hiring and motivating minorities to have opportunities. you have to be intentional about it. it's not always going to happen organically. >> you just mentioned fox. later this morning, bishop jakes will be one of the featured speakers at a ceremony later today celebrating the tenth

graduating class of the ailes apprentice program, founded by our brilliant ceo and founder, roger ailes. that's what brings you to town today. >> exactly why i'm here. and i applaud that effort. i think it's something that i hope is emulated by other corporations around the country. >> sure, because we really have a chance. do you want the government to take the lead and sometimes the government -- i don't know if you heard, doesn't do things very well -- or business. >> business really has to get in there and pitch in. and i think there is a great deal to be done in the area of entrepreneurship. sometimes you have to hire yourself. sometimes we're sitting around waiting on somebody to create a position when the reality is you have to create your own position. it's unfortunate, but do you have to do that from time to time. >> sure. and there's a great reward for people who do that. >> yes. if you have the strong work ethic and if you can get out there and i think that we're overlooking that there are many, many minorities that are not just blacks, but latinos and others who are underemployed. we're losing our middle class. we're creating a third world

country right in the middle of america. it's a real problem. >> a real pleasure and honor to have you here in new york city today. >> are you going back to preach in dallas on sunday? >> absolutely. >> all right. >> keep my day job. >> we love watching you on tv. thanks so much for being here. coming up next, a presidential tweet down. bill clinton wants to know why george w. bush is not on twitter. bush's priceless response straight ahead.

all right. one for the road. a presidential faceoff on social media between president george w. bush and bill clinton. number 42, clinton, tweeting a picture of himself reading w's new book saying, received my copy of 41 by 43, george w. bush. touching tribute. with the #howare you still not on twitter. >> bush calling clinton out on instagram. saying thanks, 42. hope you like the book about your pal, number 41. with the #howareyoustill not on

instagram. >> fantastic. >> bush also tagging it, brother from another mother. >> by the way, hannity has a great interview with 41 and 43 tonight. >> we'll be watching. >> 10:00 o'clock. martha: brand-new information on president obama's immigration plan that could be coming as soon as next week. eric: i'm eric shawn in for bill hemmer who is on ashinement. republican leaders are not happy about their president going it alone again. >> working together requires trust. i think president obama has a duty to help build a trust we all need
