3:00 am
we will hear from the girl and her mom this morning at 7:20 eastern. >> eric holder is making new announcements. is he adding fuel to the fire? log on for his debate. >> "fox & friends" starts now. bye. good morning. it is tuesday, december 2. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. it was a meeting of the protesting minds. president obama holding discussions on the ferguson fallout at the white house all while launching a plan to retrain cops on the taxpayers' dime. that's you. is this really the answer? we report, you decide. >> why is al sharpton there? meanwhile the president threatens to shut down the federal government if republicans -- the bad guys -- do not fund his amnesty action. but how much will that cost us? we're crunching the numbers straight ahead. >> moses an inspirational icon in nearly every major faith but hollywood actor
3:01 am
christian bale wonders if he was more like a terrorist. and if we should send in the drones. mornings are better with friends. >> hi everybody. i'm huey lewis. stand by for the news. >> it's funny. he always laughs in the same spot there. >> it's amazing. yesterday i had no idea it's only four blocks from our house here at 48th and 6th. but u2 without bono was down the block. how come no one said anything? >> you didn't try to get into the show? >> it was a wide open show. bruce springsteen played the role of bono. >> number-one fan. i heard about it earlier. >> you knew? >> in addition to that gee began particular meeting of the minds -- in addition to that gigantic meeting of
3:02 am
the minds musically, at the white house the president of the united states said i'm going to do something about ferguson. so he did yesterday. he had a meeting. he called in clear why -- he called in clergy and cops and talked about what happened in the wake. the president did not offer an opinion, however, on the grand jury decision, which many in his party do not like, but instead he came up with a plan to keep it from happening again, he hopes. >> it is a four-point plan we can outline here for you. 50,000 police body cameras will be instituted here. it's going to be reviewed and implemented. the white house report a police militarization executive order on military-style equipment acquisition. >> we have military equipment. the military says why don't we give it to some of the police forces in some of the bigger cities in case they need t. for example, there is a nonstop terror attack and terror alert in
3:03 am
our country. you might like some of this military equipment. should some of these dirty bombs go off or should there be widespread root -- rioting. the president said we've got to address the problem. i would love to see someone say something positive about law enforcement. law enforcement is being thrown in the street as if everybody is bad and they all need to be massively retrained. they get more training for their job than 99% of americans get for our jobs. >> is any of the money being invested really by the taxpayers, is any of that going to be pointed to abiding by the law and maybe improving relations from both ends. it seems a little one-sided at one point when you look at that outline. president obama says he's deeply invested in this problem. >> a solvable problem but is one that unfortunately
3:04 am
spikes after one event, and then fades into the background until something else happens. what i try to describe to people is why this time will be different. and part of the reason this time will be different is because the president of the united states is deeply invested in making sure that this time is different. >> that's great that he is deeply invested in it. i think we all are. "the new york post" this morning on their op-ed page has this editorial. it says in part, if the president wants a solution that will save lives, tell people not to resist arrest or assault. >> they want 50,000 body cameras. >> that's a good idea. >> i think it is a great idea. i don't see much push-back on law enforcement either. >> to spend $260 million on retraining. how many police forces out there are so bad they need to be retrained? >> that is an interesting point. that does infer that the training they have had is not enough? >> that says the cops out
3:05 am
there don't know what they're doing. of course if you listen to al sharpton over on msnbc, he pretty much sounds like that all the time. there he is extraordinarily in the eisenhower office building sitting opposite the president of the united states. it is extraordinary that this guy who does host a show offense at msnbc was invited. but the lieutenant governor of the great state of missouri, peter kinder said this regarding reverend al. >> i cannot imagine any previous american president of either party welcoming an inciter of mobs like reverend sharpton into the white house, into his inner councils for sober advice. you're not going to get it from him. >> that may true especially people in new york. the one thing is he does pack the place. he goes into a congregation
3:06 am
on sunday. the church is mobbed and he is considered by many a leader in the african-american community. >> but is he considered a peacemaker? >> he's a race baiter. you look at his history. you look atty what -- look at tijuana brawlly. you look at the fact that he owes millions on his taxes. >> how do you get away with that? i get a letter every week to pay $72. >> how do you get away with saying the fight is not over when you're in the white house, on the back of the president saying we should have peace on this. this doesn't seem to make sense. you either want someone who is going to help you maintain the peace or you don't. but the person in the oval office was al sharpton. a little concern by the lieutenant governor. >> al sharpton said this. we live in a country where we must support law enforcement but law enforcement must support justice. reverend al the grand jury did not indict officer
3:07 am
wilson. if you're going to support justice you've got to support that. >> one of the great sports personalities out there, he speaks his mind a lot of times controversially. you tell me if you think this is controversial or right on the mark. i'm talking about charles barkley yesterday. >> we have to be really careful with the cops man. if it wasn't for the cops we'd be living in the wild, wild west in our neighborhoods. i think we can't pick out certain incidents that don't go our way and act like the cops are all bad. you know how bad some of these neighborhoods would be if it wasn't for the cops? there's no excuse for those people to be out there burning down people's business, burning up police cars. >> and stopping traffic and blocking bridges when you've got to get to work. listen. governor christie, whether he knew everything or nothing about what's happened on the george washington bridge he was vilified for his administration. people were fired for blocking one bridge on one day. every city in this country that is a major city in
3:08 am
this country has been somehow diverted because of so-called peaceful and not so peaceful protests. don't stop us from getting to work or getting home and say i have a cause. >> you can hear from charles barkley which, where's the action for citizens to maybe perhaps get in line with what the police officers are trying to do in terms of keeping things civil? where's the training and budget for that? is it in there? we're all looking for it. >> is it a race thing or is it a crime thing? >> imagine if the police protested and didn't show up? what charles barkley is saying it would be utter chaos. >> if you're upset the rams came out and showed how they are supporting michael brown in ferguson? are you supportive of charles barkley speaking out like he did yesterday on the radio? do you want your sports stars to speak out about the news? weigh in, we'll be hopping
3:09 am
on-line. >> we can't wait to read those. the cost of amnesty. president obama saying he's willing to shut down the government if republicans won't pass funding for his immigration policy. >> doug luzader is live in washington in the bureau with a breakdown on how much that is going to cost us. >> good morning. we're talking about the cost of legalizing these folks. we know illegal immigration brings with it huge costs of its own from enforcement to health care to actual tax evasion. that's the point the white house likes to jump on, as well as immigration activists saying if you legalize these folks all of a sudden they will be working above the table and that will help with u.s. tax receipts. >> we see that, a total of about $350 billion of economic activity would basically be taken out of the shadows and be essentially legalized. in terms of wage increases, we're anticipating about $12 billion a year. >> so will it be a net gain
3:10 am
for the economy? the folks at the migration policy institute crunched some of the stats as far as who these individuals are. half have less than had a high school diploma. half do not speak english well or at all. 35% are unemployed or not part of the labor force. >> the illegal population overall has on average about a tenth grade education and earnings wise are probably going to be well below average. that's why most likely just as anybody with an average tenth grade education will probably not be a high earner and will end up paying less taxes than they receive in government services and benefits. >> one of the issues has to do with what's called the earned-income tax credit. that's for relatively low-income individuals. many of these illegal immigrants would qualify for the earned-income tax credit which means when
3:11 am
they file their taxes at the end of the year, instead of sending money to the government, they get money back which is obviously a net drain on the treasury. steve, brian, and elisabeth back to you guys. >> in many cases it can be thousands of dollars per family. >> ainsley earhardt with her huge salary is with us today. >> you have a lot to bring us. >> let me start with this headline. the suspected serial killer wanted for murdering four people in west virginia is dead. police found 39-year-old jody hunt in his truck in the woods. they say he turned the gun on himself after an hours-long manhunt that
3:12 am

supporters want students in north dakota to pass a citizenship test before they graduate high school. back to you guys. >> as long as we don't have to take a test. >> i think you'd do okay, steve. >> i hope we all would. coming up on this tuesday morning, attorney general eric holder making bold guarantees on the heels of ferguson, missouri. >> this will institute rigorous new standards and robust safeguards to help end racial profiling once and for all. >> but what did the death of michael brown have to do with racial profiling? we're going to talk about that. >> no dolls or trucks for christmas? the new idea called no gender december attacking the toys right under your tree. >> how dare you. ♪

3:18 am
general eric holder yesterday in atlanta discussing racial profiling in the wake of the fallout in ferguson, missouri. this as the president announces a taxpayer-funded plan to retrain police officers across the country, and reverend al sharpton urges a continued fight for justice. is this really making matters better or maybe worse? joining us is milwaukee's county sherrif david clarke. good morning to you, sherrif. >> good morning, sir. how are you doing? >> doing fine. thanks very much. why the sudden push by the white house to do something about ferguson? what is the white house doing here? >> it's all theatrics. the white house understands the optics of this situation and so they create this flurry of activity and people mistake activity for accomplishment. i will resist any attempt by eric holder and the president of the united states, with all due respect, to try to run my office here at the local level. policing is a local issue. we do not need federal involvement. all they're trying to do is create this situation where
3:19 am
the neighborhoods at the local level that need policing the most will get it the least because it will cause people to back off when they really should be aggressive in terms of taking care of business. i think it's a shame that the attorney general paints this broad brush of law enforcement officers all across the united states of america. the cops at the street level -- and i love street cops -- they don't have a voice e right now. i think it's time to push back. i think every chief and sherrif in the united states of america and all these organizations like the national sherrifs, major county sherrifs, major county chiefs should begin to push back at any attempt of the federal government to run local law enforcement agency. >> absolutely. chief, let me ask you this. so many are trying to make this about race. is this a race thing or a law enforcement, a crime thing? >> i don't know that it's either of those two. i don't look at it as an either-or proposition. the president held some
3:20 am
summit at the white house yesterday and invited, he said law enforcement and other people. i wish he would have invited me because i would have looked at him and i would have pushed aside the thee i can't -- theatrics and say mr. president our people in milwaukee can't find meaningful work. you spent $1 trillion on a package you said would create jobs. where are the jobs? why do our kids in these urban centers have to attend failing public schools where they are shackled to a life of crime and violence? these kids will not reach their potential. we need better schools for our kids. those are the issues. the creation of the welfare state has not helped this thing. it's created a growing underclass and we saw the behaviors of the underclass on display last week. i would say why don't you issue an executive order and have it audit programs that have made it worse
3:21 am
because they keep people addicted to handouts. that is what is wrong in these ghettos. it is not the police spoivment you got -- >> you got it right. sherrif, always a pleasure. thank you for your straight talk. >> more in a minute.

3:26 am
-- slaves. >> in today's terms? >> then the drone thing, it makes it sound like the big bad guys are the ones who use drones. of course that would be the u.s. and the west against terrorism. i don't like the comparison. put it that way. >> do you believe that is fair to what moses did? >> no. he certainly wasn't thinking about drones. he was a freedom fighter, no doubt. but a freedom fighter called by god to go up against an empire that was keeping the hebrew people enslaved. >> i guess when you hear the word terrorist now. because you're saying drones. you're looking in the past, not looking at now. it doesn't seem to people he was alluding to how they would have seen him then. he was describing modern terms. >> he also referred to moses as a schizophrenic. when you go back to the director, he talked about religion being the greatest source of evil. this is a few years ago. but religion being the
3:27 am
greatest source of evil now. i don't think they're going after religion here and i think there is a lot that could be gotten out of this movie. i love the fact we're going back and doing epic biblical films. think of "noah" was there some good in that? yes. could it have been great? yes. was it? no. >> what was missing? >> the spirit of faith. i think there's three elements of a great religious film. one is great art. great art, great acting and then, third, a perspective of faith. the bible's not just a history book. it's not a history book. there's history in it, but it is a book of faith. when you get those three elements you're going to have an epic film. >> let me ask you about the film you're consulting on, a.d. does that contain those three elements? >> it absolutely does. otherwise i wouldn't be involved in it. the fact that they brought me in to be a part of it means they're trying to get it right from that
3:28 am
perspective. i think a lot of organizations and directors could learn from that and say we're going to make this right. we're going to make epic films that have religious elements. >> give me a couple of words to describe moses, in your opinion? >> first of all, he was a humble man who listened to god and u the big things god was calling him to. he had a speech problem and he had to speak to the farrow. what am i supposed to tell him? i'll tell you when you get there. what kind of faith is that? >> dr. jonathan morris, always good to have you. thank you. this coming up, sorry? not sorry? the st. louis police say the rams apologized during this protest but the team is telling a dinner story. what is going on there? we're going to look into it. this boy scout is more than prepared. he went above and beyond to earn all 135 merit badges. he joins us live to talk about that rare feat next. good morning. first we're going to wish happy birthday to green bay

i didn't write this at the time president obama decided to change the immigration laws. obviously this book was written before that. but it's helping me to sell the book, because his presidency is an example of a president stealing power from congress, rewriting the laws, declaring war, doing it on his own and the congress letting him get away with it. >> relations with cuba could be next on deck as well as e.p.a. regulations, bypassing congress. hasn't this always been the case? haven't we always had an executive pushing against congress and vice versa? >> yes. in each presidency it's worse. the first half of this book is a history of presidential law breaking and lawmaking from george washington to bill clinton. the second half of this book looks at every executive order that we could get our hands on from george w. bush and barack obama post-9/11, all the things they did, both parties, both presidents exceeding their power under the constitution. but president obama has taken this to an entirely new level.
3:49 am
>> in the book -- and this is the exit question, so you don't have to answer it in toto, just so we can help you sell a book, but who is the most lawless of our presidents? >> the present one. >> really? >> yes. to brian's argument, that may always be the case because they each rely on the behavior of their predecessors to justify legally and explain morally what they're trying to get away with. >> but within the pages of "suicide packet" -- >> the president present, barack obama, more than anybody else claimed he can kill americans without any due process. no president ever claimed that. >> check out the new book. it's called "suicide pact." it's available everywhere. >> thank you. >> coming up straight ahead, is disney letting go of god? the disney website is under fire this morning for blocking a little girl's post saying she's thankful for god. >> i don't know if we can let that go.

for years our next guest was one of the toughest cops on the job. so when he was confront bid four muggers here in new york city around the black from this building, he knew exactly how to
3:54 am
show them who is boss. here to show us how to protect yourself, former nypd detective and fox news contributor. welcome. i cannot believe a block away after you said good-bye to sean and geraldo, you ended up in trouble. >> it wasn't really trouble. i waited for sean to get in his car. then i start walking down the block, right here, 47th street. there was a big demonstration that night, if you remember down by times square. they were demonstrating on the shooting of st. louis, ferguson. so as i'm walking down, my car was on 48th street. i had to go to 6th avenue, come around. i'm walking. all of a sudden i saw these young guys milling around. i didn't think nothing of it. of course, they had hoodies on. so i still didn't think -- i limp because i broke my leg in my ankle. i limp a little late at night. i have a suit on. next thing is i walk in there, the one guy comes around front of me, he was tall, about 6' 2.
3:55 am
he came in my face and goes, where are you going? at that time i felt i knew what was coming down. remember, i was a decoy. i got mugged 500 times. >> on purpose. >> yeah, i had been stabbed, shot at. i felt it coming down. my initial reaction was how did i let them get so close to me and he was going to punch me. i looked in his eye and next thing was a shot in my face. moldly i put my hat under my jacket, i carry a gun legally. and i said to him, if you don't get out of my face, i'm going to pop a cap. i used some vulgar language. but it was a street language where it's understood exactly what i meant. they knew i was armed. and they didn't want to do anything with it. >> how do we -- you're a tough guy, been through this before. but for many us, we have not had that happen before. you have basic hints that we could have if we're not armed. first, trust your instinct. >> right. if you're walk down the street, you feel like something is not right, cross the street.
3:56 am
if you see someone standing there, be aware of your surroundings. don't be texting. that's the most important thing for people to be aware of their surroundings. also if you are confronted by someone, look right in their eye. let them know, i'm not going down easy. so if you're going to rob me, you're going to have a problem. but most important thing is be aware of your surroundings. with christmas coming up with all the ferguson -- cash, all that, don't worry about that. worry about your surroundings. and don't walk into something if you uncomfortable, you're 100% right, it's not right. >> this is men and women. >> oh, yeah. >> if you have kids with you? >> yeah. this woman i saw on the news, she had a baby and they knocked it down and knocked her cell forelast night. the big thing is around christmas is the fact that be aware of your surroundings. when you shop and be aware of your pocketbook, your wallet sitting this, your cell phone. don't be not aware and then you won't become a victim.
3:57 am
>> you got to drop geraldo and sean. they're nothing but trouble. >> let me tell you something, honestly, i'm just glad it worked out the way it did. >> so are we. thank god you're okay to tell bus this story. when we come back, the latest on the ferguson protests.fer, don't go away.

4:02 am
you can see there, police officer next to him, politician talking about the simmering tensions. what can the president do? well, you know what? he's got a four-point plan. >> it's $263 million in actual program push here for 50,000 police body cameras, a task force on police practices, white house report on police militarization executive order on military style equipment acquisitions. those are four prongs of the plan, which is costly for the taxpayer. 263 million. >> i feel like law enforcement had a very bad day yesterday because people were talking about all the changes that need to be done to their jobs to the way they go about it, the way they're even trained. the attorney general, while the president is having this meeting on how to make law enforcement better or modernized, he had the attorney general in atlanta pretty much convicting the cops of ferguson, saying that of course it was racial profiling that got this whole thing started on the wrong foot. listen to him.
4:03 am
>> in the coming days, i will announce updated justice department guidance regarding profiling by federal law enforcement. this will institute rigorous new standards and robust safeguards to help end racial profiling once and for all. >> this is about racial profiling? >> keep in mind, that was never decide that had the case with officer wilson involved racial proceed filing, not once. >> it absolutely was not. just about an hour ago issues we had on this program milwaukee's sheriff, david clark. we asked him why the white house was doing this particular event and other things across the country and he was very clear. he said simply it is theatrics. they're just doing this right now to make it seem like they're doing something when, in fact, he sees what's going on in this country as an assault on police
4:04 am
officers and sheriff clark is very clear, every police officer in the country should stand up now and be heard. here he is. >> policing is a local issue. we do not need federal involvement. all they're trying to do is create this situation where the neighborhoods at the local level that need policing the most will get it the least because it will cause people to back off when they really should be aggressive. it's a shame that the attorney general paints this broad brush of law enforcement officers all across the united states of america. the cops at the street level, and i love street cops, they don't have a voice right now. and i think it's time to push back. >> the black caucus weighed in yesterday, as well as marshal faulk, said everything has to change the think how bad everything is. on a if i'm a street cop, making very little money, i know my life is on the line every day in the smallest and biggest city, i'm saying, do i really need

this job? if i'm not going to get support from the highest level or from my police officers or from my sheriff who feels pressure from above, i don't know if it's worth the risk. >> think about it, with sheriff clark, he said it's theatric, that's why they're doing it now. i asked if it was a race thing or is it a crime thing, because michael brown roughed up the cop and assault and other things as well. he said it's not that simple. he said, you got to look at the bigger problem. the problems are in the black community, unemployment. you got to look at education. you got to look at opportunity as well. those are the things the president should be worried about. >> the trap of government handouts is something he noted. school system, which has them handcuffed to poverty. interesting to note that entire interview was excellent. >> it's beençó two weeks since n election, let's talk about the next one. 2016. senator rob portman says don't ask me to be president. and you have rand paul saying i'm going to be a senator and
4:06 am
probably running for president. the bigger news happened yesterday where jeb bush spoke. >> that's right. this is what he said about what it would take to have a republican leader step up. >> i'm thinking about running for president and i'll make up my mind in short order. not that far out into the future. i don't know the exact timeline. it's the same decision making process that i've always had. i don't know if i'd be a good candidate or bad one. i know -- kind of know how republican can win, whether it's me or somebody else and it has to be much more uplifting, much more positive, much more willing to be practical. >> he's essentially laid out his blueprint, if he were to decide in short order. among his priorities, overhauling education, immigration, and the tax code. he also had some tough love for the incoming republican congress. he said stop trying to make a point. last year remember famously they
4:07 am

hearing young people feeling marginalized and distrustful even after they've done everything right. that's not who we are. and i don't think that's who the overwhelming majority of americans want us to be. >> president obama meeting with civil rights leaders at the white house following last week's fallout in ferguson. the president asking for $263 million to retrain police officers and fix what he calls a mistrust between law enforcement and the public. is more money, though, really the answer? joining us now, philadelphia mayor michael nutter, who attend yesterday's meeting with the president. mr. mayor, we thank you for joining us here. >> good morning. >> we continue to hear that the
4:15 am
community feels marginalized, that there is a mistrust when it comes to the police. but what do you have to say as the mayor, to your law enforcement officials who feel marginalized and attacked by the efforts in the past week to really retrain their thinking and what is deemed as an attack on the black population? >> well, first and foremost, i have an incredible level of respect and appreciation and show support for the philadelphia police officers here in our city. these men and women risk their lives each and every day to make sure the rest us are safe. crime has been going down consistently in philadelphia during the seven years almost that i've been in office. they have a tough and dangerous job. at the same time, we all work for the citizens here and the taxpayers. so treating people with dignity and respect has to be a part of their job and awful us as public servants. so at times there can be a disconnect.
4:16 am
in communities, in any city, including our city, between how residents feel about the service that they get, how they are treated in their own community, and if that gap in trust grows, then you have a dangerous situation. citizens need the police. they're going to quality police. but at the same time -- >> mr. mayor, you used the term disconnect. is it a misperception that you think law enforcement has a different set of rules for the african-american community or minority community as opposed to the white community or is it the reality, in your mind? >> i think all of us come to our station in life with things that we've grown up with, things we have in our mind, things that we see, things that we've experienced, things we see, no disrespect to any of you, in the broader sense of media and movies and all kind of things, are going through our heads at any particular moment. so if you feel -- i mean, as i said yesterday across the table
4:17 am
from president obama, why is it that black men in particular feel afraid when they are driving their car, maybe not doing anything issues but hear sirens go off behind them? there is a constant struggle of what is going to happen next. so whether it's real or it's a perception, it's the reality for that person and awful us have to deal with that. people don't want to feel that way. they want to call 911, know they're going to get good service and they want to see an officer walking down the street, or a car next to them and not have their heart start to racing because they don't know what's going to happen next. we have to deal with that as americans and come to grips with it. acknowledge that it's a problem and then take action. >> problem of feeling and perception what i'm hearing, mr. mayor, right? 2012, 326 white -- >> i think for some in their own communities, it is the reality. they know someone who has possibly been abused. they know someone who may have been shot. >> sure. >> and so it's not just a
4:18 am
feeling and a perception. for some people, whether in philly or halfway across the country, it is their own reality. >> mr. mayor, the president laid out the four-point plan, spend all that money on retraining. one of the new york papers wrote if the president wants a solution that will save lives, tell people not to resist arrest or assault police. >> well, i didn't see that particular piece. that's nicely written. >> but doesn't that make a great point? >> is there something to that? >> it's one point. but it's also about how officers interact with citizens. everyone has a responsibility here. every police officer is not -- >> how about having citizens react with the police officers. >> i mean, vice-versa. so everyone has a role to play here. i was taught i had the conversation, we call it -- >> mr. mayor, we have very little time. >> my father, a long time ago, about how to interact with police officers. so there is a mutual
4:19 am
responsibility. >> great. you see, i agree with you, mr. mayor. i want to get a question in. it seems like the four-point plan is all about the cops changing. what about the community changing? what is the president's plan for the community? >> is it there? >> well, i think that the president did talk about not only 21st century policing and i'm proud commissioner ramsey is the co-chair of that effort, but also the listening sessions of that attorney general holder just started literally yesterday in atlanta. some of those conversations will take place about what is the community's responsibility? how do we better interact with police officers? what is the right way to engage? so i think the president has been balanced in this effort. all of it may not have been completely laid out in the four points. but i think those four points are the right points. having community listening sessions, training police officers, engaging from the justice department in local communities, and also

reevaluating how we give out the kind of equipment that we get from the military, which i support that program. but it needs accountability. i think all those elements will be there. the work of my brother's keeper, which we're strong supporters of here in philadelphia, so there is a community component to this and a responsibility to better understand what is policing about? why do officer december -- officers do what they do? >> but a lot of them do an unbelievable job and feel disrespected today about what's been happening over the last two weeks because they do an incredible job. thank you for joining us. >> we don't want them to feel that way. >> all right. >> thank you. >> 20 after the top of the hour. is disney letting go of god? its web site blocked a little girl's post, saying she's thankful for god. that girl and her mom are here next to tell their story. ♪ ♪

4:46 am
because i like talking to fellow service members. as i got closer, a noticed a couple things were off with his uniform. his flag was low, boot lace were untucked. the badges on his chest were offcenter. so i took a step back and i just watched and talked to a little boy and kind of tell him stories about being in the military and this and that. and as he came out of the store, that's kind of when i initially confronted him about his uniform not being properly worn. >> we're hearing it. you have it -- you had your iphone and taping him. if you had the right earnings you would have backed off, correct? >> correct. initially did he have what could have been correct answers. when he approached me, i noticed he had two stars above his badge which would indicate he served in three different wars, which is almost physically impossible for his age. >> why does it bother you so much? >> well, i served in afghanistan and i've had several friends get seriously wounded and a couple
4:47 am
were killed in action who wore that same uniform, who put all that on the line and sacrificed that. to see somebody try and claim that type of sacrifice or dedication that my friends did really irked me. >> what about with your family? don't you have a -- >> my grandfather served in world war ii. he was also in the army. and just that legacy of wearing that uniform, so many guys put their lives on the line and have lost their lives wearing that same uniform. somebody to pose as an actual soldier when they haven't sacrifice as much as those guys have, it's just wrong. >> you also get discounts and praise when you don't deserve it. that bothers you on top of that. what has been the online response since this has been posted out there? >> generally in the military community especially, it's been positive from my end. i'd say fort most part, everybody supported what i did and they agree with it. there has been a couple negative responses, but overall, i think everybody was on board with me and thought i made the right
4:48 am
choice. >> and what happened to him now? >> as of right now, the video on line has millions of views. the law enforcement officials are actually in the process of contacting him to investigate further if this guy should be prosecuted or not. >> it is a crime. it's been posted on facebook, says i worked with him. always called him out and he always stuck to his story. thankfully there is someone with more military knowledge than me that could pinpoint the lies. i could not. thank you. this made my day. >> yeah. it means a lot. like i said, i think there is more than just this guy walking around posing as a service member, claiming that they sacrificed as much as some of my friends have and i think when it's seen, it needs to be called out and these guys need to be prosecuted. >> you dropped out of penn state to go serve. now you're back, ready to graduate. what do you want to do next? >> hopefully law enforcement is my main goal here. >> at 26. what a life you've already had. thanks so much for your service and thanks for doing what you did and everybody else serve

4:54 am

4:55 am
>> so they're this huge price war right now with wal-mart. they're really kind of going head to head. 70,000 jobs, 40% of last year's hires went full time at target. you get a discounts as well. they'll continue to hire. they're expanding. they're kind of fixing up the stores. >> and finally, sports authority, which is right next to target in my town. >> is it really? >> yeah. >> very cool. if you need some weekend work, a little part-time -- >> i'm off here at 9 request in the morning. >> you've got the time. yeah. all right. so 50% discount if you like sporting goods items. 3500 jobs that are open. store managers, merchandising, sales, things like that. several hundred of those workers will become permanent. i think it's an opportunity you should consider. >> absolutely. and once again, i'm sure today on the business network you're going to be talking about how so far the sales are looking better than on black friday?
4:56 am
>> we're going to be covering retail sales because a lot -- more and more americans are doing their online shopping. and that's where everything is going. everything is listed at cassiniex -- casoneexchange. you could literally, if you walk into a stocks be hired that day. >> every day is christmas at casone exchange. don't miss cheryl on the fox business channel. thank you. >> thank you. coming up on this tuesday, the white house wants more spending to retrain police officers in the wake of the ferguson tragedy. retraining the cops? is that the answer? laura ingraham's got an opinion. she's next. and quiz time. what do goats and harlem globetrotters have in common? the answer next. that's baaad. ♪ ♪ ñi

5:03 am
this number, $350 billion. one immigration advocate says that's how much economic activity will now be done above board. >> these are very strong net positives for the economy, particularly on the fiscal side. continued to pay heavily on the tax side and are the lowest users of government services. >> but is that really the case? you really have to look at illegal immigrants in general, the migration policy institute came up with this analysis of illegal immigrants. 50%, they say, have less than a high school diploma. 31% live below the poverty line. 51% don't speak english well or at all. 65% either unemployed or not part of the labor force. just as anybody with an average tenth grade education, will probably not be a high earner and end up paying less in taxes than they receive in government
5:04 am
services and benefits. >> and that leads us to the earned income tax credit. generally low income earners don't pay an income tax to the government at the end of the year. instead the government actually sends them a check and the administration has been clear about this, that these illegal immigrants will, in fact, qualify for the earned income tax credit. back to you guys. >> because they paid in. doug, we thank you very much. great report. laura ingraham joins us live to discuss all that's been happening in ferguson and post. tensions rising across the nation. now a meeting in the white house. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> $263 million in ferguson spending to retrain law enforcement. is that a great way to spend the taxpayers' money? >> first of all, let's look at what that whole scene looked like in there. when i just looked at the image, the screen shot of that, it looks and reminded me of one of those like thursday night
5:05 am
seminars in college where everyone kind of sits around the table and talk about the world's problems and in the end, they just come up with the same conclusion, basically that the system is rigged; that minorities can't get ahead and that we need to spend more money. and indeed, that's exactly what happened yesterday at this meeting. there is never anything that happens in the country that the president doesn't believe can be fixed with the spending of more money and getting america deeper into debt. indeed, when you see the $263 million that he's proposing, i guess we could find that money somewhere. i don't know. we never talk about where we're getting the money. >> we print it. >> just take it from the military. that's what we're good at. >> and guys, i was thinking about this. body cameras, i think that's an interesting idea and i think obviously it would have vindicated officer wilson early on in this process. but maybe, why not put a body cam on the president, because -- i know a lot of people would
5:06 am
like to know this -- how much time does he actually spend during the day on the u.s. economy? i'm talking about jobs, opportunity for people, expanding economic opportunity, and running the government, versus doing the community organizing around the table. that body cam would be fascinating. so i'm all in favor of spending money on that body camera. >> you know when would run all that, all his video would probably be the golf channel because he does a lot of that. >> great idea. they need some fresh programming. >> about an hour ago we had michael nutter, the mayor of philadelphia on. he was in the meeting with the president yesterday. essentially what he was saying is that the police need to be retrained so they know how to deal with the community. what about the community and their dealings with the police? listen to this exchange we had with him. >> treating people with dignity and respect has to be a part of their job and awful us as public servants. there can be a disconnect. in communities in any city, including our city between how
5:07 am
residents feel about the service that they get, how they are treated in their own community, and if that gap in trust grows, then you have a dangerous situation. i think the president has been balanced in this effort. all of it may not have been completely laid out in the four points, but i think those four points are the right points. >> what do you think? >> how about self-reliance versus self pity? how about conforming our behavior to the law instead of bitterness? how about actually the principles of truth versus the principles of rabble rousing and spreading distrust, which i think this administration has done? actually speaking basic truths. i know that's a crazy concept in america today, but if you punch a cop, if you try to get into his car, if you walk down the middle of the street and rob a store, it's not going to end well. you're either going to end up in jail or someone is going to get
5:08 am
hurt. it would be nice if the president of the united states with all of his education and all of his wisdom and all of his experience actually spoke truths to people and had the community really represented there. there was one police official there, but there were no shop keepers at that meeting yesterday and again -- >> nobody from ferguson. >> he always goes political at these meetings. he never goes pragmatic. and the pragmatic thing is people need jobs. stop giving opportunities away to illegal immigrants. actually focus on getting the communities at work because guess what? when you have to wake up in the morning and you have a job or child to really take care of, you don't have time to be out on the streets burning down buildings. >> sure. charles barkley, to your point and adding on there, said why don't we get practical here and imagine what it would be like without law enforcement doing the job that they're doing? be a wild, wild west. take a listen. >> we have to be really careful with the cop, man, because if it wasn't fort cops, we'd be living in the wild, wild west in our
5:09 am
neighborhoods. i think we can't pick out certain incidents that don't go our way and act like the cops are all bad. do you know how bad some of these neighborhoods would be if it wasn't for the cops? there is no excuse for those people to be out there burning down people's businesses, burning up police cars. >> laura? >> i would argue that the -- who has been more damaging and paid less attention to the true needs of minority communities in the country? the obama white house or state and local police? i would say state and local police has done more to help and assist minority communities than this administration has in the last five-plus years. so if you want to be mad at someone, i'd be mad at the administration that hasn't spend really any time on getting real job, good-paying job noose this country. and instead is more recrimination, none of this is going to help the average minority in this country or working people. >> the attorney general hasn't left yet, was yesterday in atlanta and he was speaking out
5:10 am
and he wants to end racial profiling, which i don't know how that figures into this case, but he came out and said once and for all, he wants to end it and that's the problem with policing today. do you think that was on message or off? >> well, i mean, this is the way they view the world. the racial prism is how the obama administration viewed the world at t very beginning of this administration and apparently it's worked so well for them, not, they're going to keep doing it until the 2016 election. again, i think people are fed up with this. i know a lot of people watching this right now are trying to figure out ways that they can actually buy christmas presents for their children this year. the people who are shutting down those stores, who are blocking the freeways, they're not the modern day rosa parks. most of them are very selfish and most of them don't really care about michael brown. they care about anarchy, chaos, and doing the whole anti-capitalist thing. that's what they care about. the president should have spoken about the dangers of what some of these people are doing on the streets and he didn't.

adding he wasn't acting drunk. ray rice now free to play in the nfl with video surfacing of him punching his fiance. now what he thinks it will take for an nfl team to give him a second chance. >> one thing i think that they will have to be willing to, you know, look deeper into who i am and realize that me and my wife have one bad night and i took full responsibility for it and one thing about my punishment and everything going along with it, anything that happens is that i have accepted it. i went fully toward it. i never complained or i never did anything like that. >> four teams expressed some interest and rice is now a free agent. is it an apology or not? st. louis county police and the st. louis rams are at odds over whether a team officially apologized for this hands up, don't shoot gesture. st. louis county police chief

john bellmar claims the rams' coo apologized for his players. but the coo denies this, saying he expressed regret the players he actions were seen as offensive burks never officially apologized. the police officers association called that gesture profoundly disappointing. and here is a weather report that literally goes to the dogs. >> when i have it to reopen it -- hey, king. how are you? live tv. how are you, buddy? it's not your turn yet. you have to wait one more segment. is this going to be on youtube? >> miami weatherman getting interrupted by king, that one-year-old american bulldog mix. king was scheduled to be on the show a little later as the pet of the week. but couldn't wait to become a star. those are some of your headlines. maria has weather here. have you ever had a dog interrupt your weather? >> no, but bring it on. bring the dogs overt we have had dogs on the set and i have done

5:43 am
welcome back. we have quick headlines for you. no g.i. joe for christmas? have you heard of no gender december? well, it's a movement calling for a ban on toy favorites for boys and girls like barbie and g.i. joe. it started in australia and asks people to only buy gender neutral toys. they suggest perhaps an e-z bake oven. and is disney censoring god? when one little girl tried to post she was thankful for god on disney channel.com, she got an error message that said, quote, be nice. lily and her mother joined us earlier on "fox & friends" with that. >> made me feel a little bit bad before i couldn't write it.
5:44 am
god is the reason that we have all this stuff that we have. >> i just don't want children to feel like there is something wrong or something that they should be ashamed of in sharing their faith with their peers. >> disney's response says it was because of censoring software that catches people who abuse the system by adding god to profanity. that was their answer. steve? >> the f.b.i. has issued the strongest warning to date about possible isis attacks against members of the u.s. military. in a memo from the department of homeland security, the f.b.i., service members are told to scrub their social media accounts. quote, for any information that might serve to attract the attention of isil and its supporters. is free speech now the latest victim in the war on terror? peter johnson, jr. joins us live. >> it may be, but it may be necessary. this is first reported on fox back in october. let's talk about the joint bulletin. what it does is strongly urges service members to scrub their
5:45 am
social media accounts, like twitter and facebook. removing anything that might bring unwanted attention or help extremists learn their identities or their families' identities or locations because officials fear copy cat attacks like the attacks that we saw in can did and frankly, what we've seen at fort hood in the past. radical extremists acting against service members here in the united states. >> sure. and it was in october that an air force guy and his son were targeted by social media. they said hey, go after these guys. >> absolutely. the issue becomes is this the first amendment going by the boards because of isil, because of al-qaeda, because of terrorism generally? do our service members and their family have to limit what has become really the face of the first amendment in the 21st century, their participation in social media? obviously it has a point. obviously locations, sensitive
5:46 am
locations shouldn't be given away. obviously family members and military shouldn't say i'm here, i'm over there and then become subject first to internet attacks and then potentially slaughtered by terrorists, which is the fear of the f.b.i. and the department of homeland security. we've had this in the past in our culture, in our history. look at world war ii. there were posters of the government put out, loose lips sink ships. meaning if you spoke about troop movements, if you spoke about where people were, then we might lose ships in the war against the axis powers. then also invoking the stetson hat, keep it under your stetson hat. keep that information under your stetson hat. but at the same time, though we understand that this is a great, great infringement on who we are as a people, that somehow a military officer, a veteran, someone who is a blue star or
5:47 am
gold star or a silver star member or family should somehow disguise their service or be ashamed of it for fear that they or their family will be struck by terrorism. that's the balance that we're facing in this society now. and so i hope that our honoring of service, that our public acknowledgment of service in this country doesn't go by the boards, that there are ways that people can fly the blue star flag of service and that we can honor our patriots in this country without fear of being attacked by terrorists. i think we should spend as much time ensuring that they are safe as warning them about engaging in social media. obviously they need to be smart as we all do. but we don't need to succumb in a total way to their terrorization. >> otherwise the terrorists win. >> and they can't win and they won't win. >> all right. well said.
5:48 am
thank you very much. 12 minutes before the top of the hour on this tuesday. still ahead, attorney general eric holder said he's going to end racial profiling once and for all. one sheriff says racial profiling not the problem at all. his message to the attorney general and your comments pouring in next. first let's check in with hem who are has got the show in 12 minute. >> how you doing? good morning to you. homeland security secretary testifies in the president's move on immigration. there is a big republican meeting this morning at the same time. what is the best way forward for the new majority? we're all over both stories. and a ordained drops out of the race for 2016. so who is in today? is iran helping the u.s. bomb isis? there is evidence apparently. we'll show it to you. martha and i will see you at the top of the hour on "america's newsroom".

welcome back. we've been talking this morning about how the president of the united states has been told you got to do something about ferguson and yesterday he convened a meeting at the white house of religious leaders, civic leaders, and police officers. >> that's right. one individual who should have possibly been there ho had something to say to the president about leadership, law enforcement and communities and how things could actually get better is sheriff david clark out of milwaukee, the county sheriff there. this is what he had to say about his message and what it would have been to the president. >> policing is a local issue. we do not need federal involvement. all they're trying to do is create this situation where the neighborhoods at the local level that need policing the most will get it the least because it will cause people to back off when they really should be aggressive. it's a shame that the attorney
5:53 am
general paints this broad brush of law enforcement officers all across the united states of america. the cops at the street level, and i love street cops -- they don't have a voice right now. i think it's time to push back. >> law enforcement did not have a voice yesterday. not in washington, not in the meeting that they had and not in atlanta with the attorney general where he came back and said, hey, we have once and for all got to stop racial profiling. instead of saying good detective work or we understand what you're up against, there was none of that. there was a lot of protest. he supported the protest that he had to walk through and deal with in his speech, said, i'm not even mad at you. >> it has been decided that this case in ferguson, the death of michael brown that led to the nonindictment of officer wilson there involved racial profiling. nothing has been decided as it relates to that. >> in the "new york post" today on the editorial page, they said that last week the president said we need to accept the decision that -- where he said the grand jury was -- was the grand jury meant to take. it was their decision.
5:54 am
if that's the case, they say that the attorney general should probably stop trying to make this a federal case. >> eric holder, who is out there saying that he's going to stop racial profiling once and for all. >> and come up with -- >> you have the president meeting with some leaders on coming up with a four-point plan, plus that's going to be on the backs of the taxpayer, $263 million, putting cameras on police officers moving forward. but then when you hear from those real boots on the ground, sowf the sheriff, the local feds going in there in terms of police work, their voice were not heard. but yours are on facebook. one stays, the less you have the feds involved, the better it is for the states, counties and our cities in the nation. the locals know what is best for the citizens of that particular state. >> the mayor of philadelphia was in support of the meeting which he was invited to. on facebook, one says, i'm tired of all the criticism of law enforcement. unless you have put a uniform on, put yourself in harm's way, you have no idea what it is
5:55 am
like. >> joanne is on facebook and she wrote this: bravo, at last a brave soul that is willing to tell it like it is. why wasn't he invited to the white house? the sheriff also said that what the white house is doing complete theatrics. that's it. >> one more post, at this point, i agree, they are making it more difficult for the police to protect themselves. thus protect our citizens in the long run. thanks for sending those in. keep them coming. >> also something that was curious is if you're going to have a meeting at the white house, talking about the problems with ferguson so they don't go forward in the future, you would have thought they would have invited somebody from ferguson. and invited some of the protesters, but none of the people in authority of ferguson, which seemed like they left somebody off the list. >> one of the individuals there said that the protests should have happened even before the verdict. that people should have opinion out there -- >> they said riots. they should have been lots of riots before the verdict. >> strong language.
5:56 am
