overall satisfaction with life. elton john taking a tumble. he is attempting to sit on that court side chair when the chair collapsed. he's okay, though. >> "fox & friends" starts now. bye. good morning. it is monday, december 8. i'm elisabeth hasselbeck. we begin with a fox news alert. bracing for backlash, u.s. embassies across the dploab on high alert this morning as c.i.a. interrogation tactics about to be made public. why are senate democrats releasing this report right now and didn't these methods lead to getting bin laden's henchmen? >> schools giving students a free pass on exams for, quote, emotional impairment due to the michael brown and eric garner cases. that story strait ahead

believe it or not. >> "rolling stone" retracts as more facts came out about their baseless rape story. the magazine forced to change their tune again. what does this mean for the real victims? on a higher note, smile because mornings are better with friends. >> hi everybody. thanks for joining us on this really cold monday morning. we start with a fox news alert. >> that's right. u.s. embassies across the globe on high alert as a terror report reveals description of a secret c.i.a. interrogation tactic is about to be released by senate democrats. >> methods used after 9/11 attacks and reveals tactics such asleep deprivation and water boarding and if they are torture or not. >> didn't we know about

that stuff already? meanwhile, all u.s. facilities around the world are now urged to review security and brace for perhaps backlash. the concern is particularly high in the middle east and north africa as well. the big question is why the report is five years in the making, why senate democrats are releasing this tomorrow? it comes down to politics. they know they're going to lose the criminal of the senate come january, so they're going to get it out there while they still can. >> interestingly enough, it is a 480-page report out of a 6,000-page study. john kerry on friday asked dianne feinstein, who wants it released and the white house said they want it released, to actually consider at the minimum postponing it based on the fact that the embassies are on alert and americans according to anyone within the department who worked there formerly said this is going to be a danger not only to those in the

departments who are americans but all americans. >> i have no words except for i have to use them. you just have to ask yourself what team are they on? if you want this out there and expose anything that worked or didn't work, the countries we put them in in order to get additional information out of them and this thing called rendition which started under bill clinton, if anyone wants to know why we haven't captured any high had been valued targets over the last six, seven years and gotten no good intelligence over the last sixen seven years, how isis can rise up and clueless over the last two years it is because we don't do things like this anymore. meanwhile it is up to the c.i.a. to stand up for themselves because they're being left out to dry except for some very strong bush administration officials who are saying they did what they were asked to do and they did it checking with legal first. here's the former c.i.a. director michael hayden. >> the c.i.a. workforce will feel as if it has been

tried and convicted in abis in absentia since senate democrats didn't talk to anyone actively involved in the program. this will be used to motivate people to attack americans and american facilities overseas. i am genuinely concerned by that. there are countries out there who have cooperated with us in the war on terror at some political risk who are relying on american discretion. i can't imagine anyone out there going forward in the future who will be willing to do anything with us that even smacks of political danger. >> if you're a c.i.a. operative, why would you even think about doing anything that might push something that could go beyond one day backlash on you and have you front and center, having to get a lawyer out of your own pocket to pay your legal fees to defend tactics you used and were okayed by the justice department in order to keep america safe? you don't go to the c.i.a.

to become a millionaire. you go there to help the country in any way you legally can. it is not a pretty business, but it is the business that keeps us safe. if i'm a c.i.a. guy or woman, i'm going i'm not doing that. see what happened to the last generation. >> that is not just theoretical. hayden went on to say all the intelligence they gathered became a home depot for pulling intelligence off the shelf. intelligence that led to the capture of osama bin laden's courier. putting this report out right now, said by mike rodgers, this will endanger americans around the world. why, you ask, would they do this right now? >> it's politics. it's plain and simple politics. let's just hope nothing bad happens, although the warning is it could. five minutes after the top of the hour. that's got you going for the morning. we've got headlines with heather. >> great to see you back here. hope you all had a night weekend. got headlines to bring you.

tear gas and shattered windows. more protests terng violent in berkeley, california. it started out as peaceful mars over the michael brown -- peaceful marches over the michael brown and eric garner killings. across the country demonstrations rage peaceful. marchers clogging up tunnels. in new york, protesters storming the disney store in times square terrifying shoppers. [chanting] >> imagine that you're in the store with your children probably christmas shopping and a bunch of protesters walk in and they say kids are dying while you're buying. it is the fifth night of protest since a new york

city police officer was cleared in the chokehold death of eric garner. the protests continue as his widow says she thinks her husband was actually targeted for selling untaxed cigarettes. >> i feel he was murdered unjustly. i don't even feel like it's a black and white thing honestly, in my opinion. i really don't feel like it's a black and white thing. >> overseas, officials say the woman who murdered an american teacher at a mall in abu dhabi acted alone. security officials claim the suspect was radicalizedbut t found any specific links to terror groups they say. the woman confessed to stabbing an american teacher. her family believes that the mother of 11-year-old twin boys was targeted because she was a teacher. earlier the u.s. embassy warned of possible attacks on western teachers. the killer also used websites to build a bomb that was planted in front

of an american doctor's home. this was no accident. police in illinois say a chlorine gas leak that forced an entire hyatt hotel to evacuate and sent 19 people to the hospital was done intentionally and they're now investigating it as a crime. it happened during the midwest fur fest event, some sort of sci-fi convention. that is why you see people in animal costumes. it was held at the hotel at the time. haz mat crews found powdered chlorine in a stairwell. prince william and kate getting the royal treatment. at 10:00 a.m. eastern time they'll kick off their three day trip. william heads to washington and will speak at the world bank. kate will go to harlem, new york, bringing christmas cheer to children with developmental and mental health issues. you may wonder what the president is talking about with william.

the international trafficking of wildlife. it is apparently a very big deal. not of human beings. but of wildlife. >> thank you, heather. >> let's talk a little bit about this. heather just brought the images of the craziness with the disney store here in times square and protesting across the country and berkeley last night. a berkeley professor gave students an extension on their paper. he tweeted out something if you get tear-gassed or hit by a rubber bullet, you have an extension. >> show them your bruise? >> at columbia law school, one of the finest law schools in the world, they are going to permit students to postpone their finals if they are emotionally impaired by the brown or garner cases. in both cases grand juries returned with nonindictments. you would think if these were future lawyers they would brace the rule of law and the law says they were not indicted. >> you take berkeley and

there's been real violence going on, like explosions being thrown at officers there, fine to postpone there. let us know what you think about this because in columbia it is based on theory, saying chain of events is all the more profound that threatens to undermine the sense of the law and the fundamental pillar of society. basically they don't like what the grand jury had to say so it is almost a protest in itself. >> if you are emotionally impaired. if you're a family member, you could be emotionally impaired. still, you're a law school student, you're supposed to support the rule of law. >> a lot of those people that are out there are young. naib that is basically the go sign from these professors to say if you're late to my class, you have a big test, don't let that stop you from putting on your parka and going to the streets and stopping traffic. if you want to win people over to your cause the best thing to do around 5:00, start sealing up bridges and roadways. >> that is an expensive day to postpone at any university.

>> meanwhile, "rolling stone" has issued another apology, this one is a little clearer. remember we're talking about that story that was written on how there is a culture of rape at the university of virginia. the latest apology from the stone says in the face of new information reported by "the washington post" and other news outlets there now appear to be discrepancies in jackie's account. jackie is not really her name. so many of the people who were involved in it have even backed away. friends of hers are distancing themselves from the allegation. clearly "rolling stone" just had a narrative and let's go find somebody who supports the narrative. all right, we grabbed on her, we'll tell her story, we won't get the other side. "rolling stone" is destroyed. "the washington post" is calling for everybody involved to get canned. >> the major details are in question. the from -- the fraternity,

time. there was zero research in an attempt to find people. >> i have no experience with fraternities or sororities, but the greek life is destroyed at the university of virginia and they have been put on hold. they deserve an apology, deserve to be put back on track. should we be surprised the rolling stone is a part of this. in a desperate attempt to be relevant again, they put the boston bomber on the cover. what they did to one of our finest generals, general stanley mcchrystal made a raging story that destroyed his career. >> how do you sleep at night? they owe an apology to obviously the general there, according to many, but even future victims of true crime, what are they going to think now? what a disservice? let us know what you think about that.

organized protesters planning to go on a cop shooting spree. putting targets on the backed of our cops. >> saying the nypd is racist and needs to be retrained. i don't think so. we're going to give this sobriety test a big fat "f." why was this judge let off the hook? ♪ and ah, so you can see like right here i can just... you know, check my policy here, add a car, ah speak to customer service, check on a claim...you know, all with the ah, tap of my geico app. oh, that's so cool. well, i would disagree with you but, ah, that would make me a liar. no dude, you're on the jumbotron!

advil stops pain right where it starts. relief doesn't get any better than this. advil. we have to change the fundamental relationship between police and community. our police keep us safe and yet there's been, as i said, not just decades of problems, a history of centuries of racism that undergird this area. we can transcend that. we believe in new york city. retraining our entire police force is going to make a huge difference. >> following new york city mayor de blasio's vow to retrain all new york city police officers, a notorious gang known as the b.g.f. may be targeting them in a shooting spree. are elected officials putting targets on the back of cops. the news went out yesterday morning that there was this

outfit, the black ger ril la family gshes the black guerilla family putting targets on cops. what have we learned? >> it is believed that a target was directed more toward the baltimore police department where the gang is, street level gang is actually home based. it made its way up through the channels of other law enforcement agencies and over the past weekend became of serious interest to the members of the nypd. >> surely. in the last week or so, would you say that the things that the mayor is saying are helpful or not helpful to the police? >> i think what mayor de blasio is doing is totally irresponsible not just to the police but to the people of the city of new york and overall to the issues that is confronting the nation right now. this is a hot-button issue. the mayor is a in a position of leadership

where he should be providing an atmosphere of healing rather than one of divisiveness and he continues to go on a mantra of bashing the police and not being supportive. >> in fact, you went so far to say the mayor ought to leave town. >> the mayor made statements about his son not being safe with new york city police officers. the lunacy of that comment is outrageous. the mayor is protected by new york city police on a daily basis and he compares his son to other children in the city of new york. the mayor grew up, his son was born and raised, from what i understand in a part of brooklyn, one of the safest and richest neighborhoods in the city of room. when he compares his son to other children in east flatbush and parts of the bronx where violence is outrageous, it is not comparable. he is really off base. >> does the new york city police department need to get retrained? >> the new york city police department, training is always welcome. the new york city police department has done lots of

training, one of the most diverse police departments in the world. this is not just a police department training issue. this is a public training issue. it is an opportunity here to build bridges. this organization, my organization goes forward and we're going to implement public service announcements and videos that will help train not only police but the public so they understand what the police does. this is a much larger issue and a great opportunity. >> sergeant, a real pleasure. thank you very much for joining us. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. coming up, it's a story straight out of a james bond movie. the famous russian spy anna chatman, secret ryan, assigned to seduce edward snowden, screen left. who put her up to do it? did it work? we've got answers. this high school senior was born with one arm but that didn't stop him from being a three-sport athlete. he joins us live with his inspirational story. ♪ ♪ ♪

operation from the people you may have talked to from what we all know right now? >> the biggest thing we have to remember here is nothing more important than american lives. what i suspect happened and the reason for the delay, i'm sure the president was trying to get the okay from yemen. but i can tell you minutes count. everything is intelligence driven. if you know where someone is right now you've got to spin up right now. what we like to do on the teams is plan, brief and rehearse. i've been on some where you can't do any of that. you've got to brief in the plane on the way to getting it done. >> we have to streamline the chain of command. is that possible? >> absolutely. here's how you do it. we missed a target in somalia by eight minutes one time waiting on permission from president clinton. what you've got to do to streamline is okay the op. when the intelligence is there give the commanders in the field the opportunity to execute. >> let's go through the time line.

stop me if you want to. september 13, somers is abducted, he was traced to a cave in yemen but approval not given until days later. opportunity missed. november 5 somers was not found by a rescue team during the raid of a cave. saturday seal team 6 attempted to rescue somers. he died. as soon as our guys were discovered 300 feet away from the place where he was located, one al qaeda operative reportedly went in there and shot both of them. your take? >> my take is first of all everything moved way too slow. we should have been moving the first day we had intelligence. what it sounds like here, and i got caught up before with this with the united nations troops, what it sounds like is everybody wanted to act like we were playing nice with the yemen special ops guys instead of just saying hey, we're not doing this, that's an american in there, forget

your national sovereignty. we're going in to get him now. >> about 40 guys dropped. they took a seven mile walk. when they got 300 feet through something happened. we have tried three rescue attempts in the last four months. none were successful. i know how hard your job is. to make it easier are you calling on a switch when it comes to the chain of command and actionable intelligence? >> i don't know about a switch. you've go the to be able to execute from the field. the field commanders have to be able to say go, not somebody sitting in an oval office. you've got to be able to react to good intelligence immediately. animal lovers aren't going to like this but there is a way to take care of an early warning system like a dog. again, american lives are more important than a dog. the yemenees should have taken the dog out if they were going to help at all. >> or if they knew they were there and they had drones over the place, i

would think it was possible to know dogs may be guarding the perimeter but i'm not a navy seal. this is going to happen over and over. we don't pay ransom and we only swap when it comes to bowe bergdahl. others we haven't done anything like that. >> that still hurts my stomach when you say that. giving terrorists back get one of ours back. parallels: president carter, desert 1. clinton in somalia, the reason it failed. and this president takes his commander in chief hat seriously because he wants to be in charge of everything. as long as you keep doing that, as long as you keep letting the administration call the shots instead of letting the military commanders call the shots and act on realtime intelligence, unfortunately these are the failed types of ops you get. >> thank you for your service, thanks for your insight. appreciate it. call -- coming up straight

young children have put these in their mouths. it's sold for one-year-olds and up. 4 1/2 inch drum stick. actually rattles with handles that have the same shape have been recalled because of the -- but this presents the same hazard sold to the same age group. >> you say this is dangerous. the cata pencil. creative. >> the important point is this is a sharpened pencil turned into a sling shot, catapult. not something you want your children to have. >> if they're going to have one, they should at least build it themselves. >> and on the package, it says use for target practice. >> this is actually good information from anything that looks too real that could cause harm to your child, cause aspiration, size of rattles and other things that may be a weapon, maybe not a good idea.

>> exactly. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. parents, let us know what you think about that. coming up, senate democrats about to reveal u.s. interrogation practices and hillary clinton thinks that we should empathize with terrorists. >> showing respect even for one's enemies empathize with their perspective and point of view. >> does this embolden the enemy? donald trump, you know it, he's going to react at the top of the hour. and a british invasion. prince william and his wife, kate's tour of america starts today. up next on the itinerary, the white house, a live report on that coming up. ♪ ♪ it's the purple pill, the #1 prescribed acid blocking brand, available without a prescription for frequent heartburn.

a fox news alert, u.s. embassies around the world bracing for attacks. why? because democrats planning to public with one of the c.i.a.'s biggest secrets. that secret helped catch osama bin laden. donald -- donald trump here to weigh in on that. >> rewards for rioting. giving students a free exam for emotional impairment. we are reading your e-mail. >> you're reading my copy. >> that's right, i am. i won't read steve's. i like him better. >> whoa. >> now you have a story. and then there is this from elton john. he just fell out of his chair. the teleprompter says, we've all been there. we don't fall out of the chair. we slide around on the chair.

because mornings are better on the couch. >> i think so. >> in all fairness to elisabeth, sometimes on the teleprompter you can not tell where we're supposed to stop and the next person starts. >> i can be a teleprompter hog. you want to bent about that? >> no. a lot of times you see the big white lines, that says stop. >> when you see the word brian. >> that's also an indication. >> here it says brian, but i'm gog read it. fox news alert right now. u.s. facilities across the globe on high alert as a new terror report with detailed descriptions of secret c.i.a. interrogation tactics is about to be released by senate democrats. doug luzader live in washington with this. why is there so much concern over these documents being released right now?

>> reporter: good morning. you got a lot of folks on pins and needles. first of all, the intelligence community here at home and also you have the foreign governments who may have provided assistance to the united states. this is all part of a report deviling into the c.i.a.'s interrogation techniques, things like sleep deprivation and water boarding which some say amounts to torture. this is being done at the behest of diane feinstein who shares the intelligence committee. she says we need a thorough public airing of all of this, but there is also a fear that this could invite new terrorist attacks terrorist attacks and imperil u.s. allies. >> certainly again, these sworn leaders believe it will. our intelligence community believes it will. and our foreign liaison partners believe it will because we have seen what happens when other incidence are used in the propaganda terrorist machine to incite violence. >> while president obama has been critical of the c.i.a., now secretary of state john kerry is

urging caution and he's also having the state department warn u.s. personnel abroad that there could be possible backlash. former president george w. bush is defending c.i.a. operatives. >> we're fortunate to have men and women who work hard at the c.i.a. serving on our behalf. these are patriots and whatever the report says, if it diminishes their contributions to our country, it is way off base. >> reporter: we think this report is going to come out in the next few days. it is a massive report about 6,000 pages long and all of this debate is playing out over just a portion of that. about a 500-page summary and obviously portion of that will be redacted. back to you guys. >> all right. doug, thank you very much. it's monday, that means 7:00 o'clock hour, it's time to talk to donald trump e. joins us every week at this time. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> you just heard from doug luzader setting the table. the democrats in the senate say,

look, when the republicans take over in january, we won't have the majority. so we're going to do it now. even though this has already gone through the department of justice, this administration says don't do it. why are the democrats doing it? >> they're doing everything. they're doing everything they can, a lot of things will change after january. we'll see if that happens. the republicans have to get tough and they have to know what they're doing and i'm a republican, but they've got to finally get tough. now they're going to have the majority for the first time in a long time. actually for the first time since truman. the biggest and strongest voice they're going to have. so that's going to be interesting. so not just this, a lot of things will be happening over the next period of time. i guess the democrats want to do whatever they can do before it ends and it's going to end in january. >> this isn't the only information. we also let go six gitmo guys into uruguay. we let a taliban commander back into pakistan. then we have to reveal all our c.i.a. interrogation tactics. are we trying to lose?

>> yeah, we are. we have a death wish. the country has a death wish. this whole thing on torture, not working. torture not work. well, for 5,000 years, it's worked. but now it's not work. torture is terrible. it's horrible, it's violent, but we're living in a violent world. it's interesting. i was telling somebody the other day, we used to talk about medieval times where people would chop off heads and all other things and say how vicious it must have been. well, we're living in these times of the we have the same things happening that we used to read in stories and accounts of what took place thousands of years ago, hundreds of years ago where things were so violent. what's more violent than what they're doing? >> we play loud music and all these things have been chronicled and ok'd by the justice department and now we're turning on ourselves. >> that's right. we're using sleep deprivation. they're using chopping off heads. you tell me, by the way, who is

going to win that battle? >> yep. >> mr. trump, a little while ago you mentioned the word tough. now we're seeing these techniques in contrast to the decapitation of our own. hillary clinton, who could have a strong shot at being in the white house in 2016, she said that we should empathize with the enemy this week. take a listen. >> this is what we call smart power. showing respect even for one's enemies, trying to understand and insofar as psychologically possible, empathize with their perspective and point of view. >> we empathize with our enemies? is that one of the keys to winning? >> what i want to -- they want to blow up israel and the united states, and blow up just about everything that they don't like. and it's a point where -- these are very, very tough people and over the years i've dealt all overt world. i currently deal all overt world, business dealings and

other dealings all over the world. they respect toughness. sort of interesting, i hit china they say harder than anybody. and i respect them. their leaders are smarter on our leaders. it's very simple. and businessweek magazine comes out with a story, what are the chinese most want and one of the top ten things anything trump. okay? who is smarter than me? they respect it because they know they're getting away with murder. these are tough people we're dealing with throughout the world. really tough. we've got to have a whole different attitude or we're going to be in trouble. >> i think the american people don't want to hear that hillary attitude. >> i don't think so. >> i think she blew it. is she living that stuff? >> that will come back to haunt her, no? >> it's not good. it's just going to be more of the same. these are tough, tough, tough people like we've never dealt with before and this is not the attitude, if we're going to win, this is not the attitude this country has to have. >> evil is not worthy of empathy. just not.

>> very true. >> china's economy just moved ahead of ours. >> oh, way ahead. and they're doing great and we have a phony unemployment rate. they keep saying it's in the 5's. it's not. it's in the 18's. it's not in the 5's. everybody looking for a job, you're looking for a job, when you give up, they consider you employed. the numbers are totally skewed and they're phony. the unemployment numbers in this country are so false. everybody knows it. everybody laughs about it. but the president gets away with it and other politicians get away with it when you look at them. our real numbers are probably close to 18%. it could even be higher than that. >> not get egg way with it in the mid terms. >> no, they didn't get away with it there. people understand. people are really suffering. there is no question about it. and then we hear these things and it's very sad. look, the country has tremendous potential if we had the right leadership. we do not have the right leadership. >> donald trump, who some think

could run for president of the united states, when would you make your decision? >> well, i'm looking, i'm going to see what happens. i'm going to see who else is running. i think i probably know the cast. and as you know, mitt romney ran and for some reason he blew it. he just didn't get there. he should have won. that should have been something that -- i actually think that was an election that was more easily won than running against hillary. hillary could absolutely be beaten, there is no question about it. but i actually think the obama election was an election we had a failed president that he won. i'm a little bit upset with him. but it's going to be interesting to see what happens, who runs and i'll make a decision at some time in the future. >> all right. donald trump, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> bye. heather is here. >> good morning. how are you doing? got some news to bring you. fox news alert, it looks like a scene out of a movie. but this massive fire burning in

downtown los angeles is real and it's shutting down two major highways there. 250 firefighters are on the scene trying to put out a fire at a seven-story building that's currently under construction. it's slated for apartments. no one was living there or working there when that fire started thankfully. but those flames can be seen for miles away. ale keep an eye on it. another fox news alert. tear gas and shattered windows as planned marches spiral into chaos for a second straight night over the michael brown and eric garner decision. protesters in berkeley, california, smashing windows, setting fires and looting stores, even throwing explosives at officers there. and then in new york, protesters storming the disney store in times square, terrifying shop pers. can you imagine that? you're in there shopping with your children and these people come in the front door, kids are

dying while you're buying? those organized protests continue despite the first eric garner's daughter and now his widow revealing that she thinks that race was not an issue in that case. listen to this. >> i feel that he was murdered unjustly. i feel like -- i don't even feel like it's a black and white think honestly, you know, in my opinion. i really don't feel like it's a black and white thing. >> he was stopped for selling untaxed cigarettes. did someone try to poison a furry convention? a youry gas leak that forced an entire hyatt hotel to evacuate and sent 19 people to the hospital was done intentionally? it happened during an annual sort of a sci-fi type event held there during the time. haz-mat crews found powdered chlorine inside a stairwell. the song by elton john.

smashed windows, angry protests. the students who live there forced to abandon their homes after a shocking report in roll ing stone that took the university of virginia too its core. only problem, they botched the story and now it's actually rolling back the report there at rolling stone and another apology is there. michelle is the director of law and journalism program at the new york school of law and joins us to discuss. thanks for being here and good morning to you. it has a lot of people upset is that big details weren't sought

after, verified and fact checked in this article and it really painted the university in a brutal way and had the accused really now in a tough position. so it didn't go by the w, the who, what, where, when, why, all those things still left kind of blurry and they had to walk it back. so they couldn't even confirm that the men who had allegedly committed the terrible crime actually existed. the location, the door that the girl actually says she went out of and fled couldn't be found and verified. these are major details in a story and they didn't get in there to find the other side. what's your take? >> it's shocking. first of all, even if she said do not contact my attackers, they should not have given her that deal. but even before that, like you say, she said she went out a side staircase. there is no side staircase.

she said she was raped on a glass table. she said she was full of blood. and that she spoke to friends immediately who saw her all bloodied. where are these friends? this woman did not -- the author did not even contact the friend. >> did it concern you that the university moved quite quickly to suspend the fra ten he's activities -- fraternity's activities? >> in this atmosphere it's not surprising because there is a push to arrest the widespread rape on campuses. but elisabeth, this -- how do you doubt this story, let me count the ways. she said she was raped for three hours. then she woke up at 3 a.m how did she know she was raped for three hours? she said it was a pitch black room. how does she know there were seven men? i heard tucker on saturday say that when he read it -- >> tucker carlson. >> he said that when he read the story, he was sure that it was a hoax or that he was sure it was

false. i thought, okay. that's just -- he's just saying it. he was right. >> he was right. but what does this do to the magazine? we've seen how they've handled incidents in the past. the boston bomber gets a cover shot. >> that makes him look like a rock star. >> exactly. what does this do to the integrity of the magazine? >> i think it will be very hard to walk this back. i just read that they're saying they're going to continue on the story. i'd be interested in seeing if they really come out with a real story or if they continue to try to walk this narrative that there are lots of rape on campus. 'cause even if that's true, this woman, it doesn't sound like that's what happened. >> and it does no justice to those who may have indeed been victims of sexual assault to come forward. >> exactly. >> it was so mishandled. definitely fell into the wrong hands. we want to thank you for being here, director of program in law and journalism in new york law

welcome back. we have quick headlines. how many college students does it take to throw a teddy bear? this group of hockey fans trying to lift this huge bear onto ice for a holiday toy collection, but it was way too heavy. the bear eventually flopped over, more than a few tries were efforted there. a veteran finally reunited with his dog. the man's ex-girlfriend gave bones away when he was deployed in afghanistan. while looking for a new pet, he found one that looked just like him on a shelter web site and sure informs, it was bones. they are reunited. great story there. >> that's terrific. thank you. he was against it before he was for it. now the president's big flip flop on immigration could cost him. 20 states are now filing lawsuits in response to president obama's executive order blocking deportations for up to 5 million illegals. one of those states as you can

see, way up at the top is wisconsin and the governor, scott walker, joins us now live from wisconsin. good morning to you, sir. >> good to be with you. thanks for having me back on. >> okay. so regarding immigration reform, there is a right way to do it and a wrong way to do it. you say this is the wrong way. >> absolutely. think about it, barak obama is the president of the united states. he's not the emperor of the united states. he has no legal authority to do this. he can't go beyond the bounds of the laws that stands in the united states today. these are all things he said. they aren't talking points from me or other attorney generals involved in the lawsuit. those are things that barak obama himself has said over the last several years repeatedly said, that he did not have the legal authority and what did he do two weeks after, just being soundly defeated on his apologies at the ballot box, instead of finding ways to work with the new majority senate and hours he picks an issue that he clearly does not have the legal

authority and goes forward. this is someone who has gone from the audacity of hope to the audacity of the power grab. >> we all remember times the president put his hand on the bible and swore to uphold the constitution of the united states, and to make sure that the laws are enforced. but in this case, what he's doing is kind of a clever thing where i'm not going to completely enforce the laws. i'm going to be very selective. i don't like that part, i'm not going to do it. >> exactly. this is one of those where i got a kick out of all places, "saturday night live" doing the spoof on the i'm just a bill thing that we all remember as kids growing up. instead of following the rules, that a bill and idea goes to the congress, the house and the senate, and then ultimately the president can either sign it or veto it before it becomes a law or doesn't become a law. in this case, he's just totally disregarded the congress. congress that he said this is the most amazing part -- that he said for years in front of groups who advocated this action, he couldn't do it

because he was not above the law. apparently if you get soundly defeated on your policies in an election and you become frustrated, that gives you some sort of a clause in the constitution to just disregard it. obviously that's not the case and i and other governors want to make sure that the courts, another separate branch of government, stands up and holds the president to this very standard, the standard that any person, man or woman, should be held to in this country. >> absolutely. in this case, the courts will essentially be the referee in this to figure out whether or not what he's doing is legal. what if the courts say no? mr. president, you got to stop it. that's ultimately what you're after, right? >> absolutely. i think this is one of those -- i think there is a real belief here that this can happen. this is why other governors and attorney generals signed on to this, because as a governor, i have broad executive authority, but i understand in my case some 3 1/2 years ago, i couldn't have come in and said i'm going to

change collective bargaining. no, i had to go to the state legislature and make those changes. obviously back then it drew a lot of attention. but we did it the right way. if you want to make big, bold changes, you need to work, in this case, with the legislative branch, which is the congress to make those changes. it's why it's bigger than immigration. it's on any action out there. if you take and overstep your authority, you take authority away from your own branch of government because there is a careful balance the founders of this country put in place and we need to defend that. >> absolutely. governor scott walker from the great state of wisconsin, who reminded me during the commercial break as we were just starting, tonight the packers are on monday night football. thanks for watching. >> go pack. >> thanks. 12 hips before the top of the hour. coming up, from the computer lab to ipads, classrooms are going digital. but are your kids using the internet at school? kurt the cyber guy says you need to be concerned, but he's here to help. first on this date in 1813, beethoven premiered his 7th

hackathons going on. go talk to the educators at school. it's essential that you simply talk and say simply what is it you're doing electronically with my kids? what apps, what software are they exposed to and how much of their personal details are required to use these devices? and get a list, just ask for a list of these things and then ask, what's your policy when my child is asked to share personal information? what is your policy at the school for that? those simple questions could fix that gap that the school has with the parents. >> the thing is, if you were born in the '60s or '70s, these are legitimate questions. you might be exposing your student, not realizing it because you're not up to date. >> you're a teacher trying o simply bring the classroom current and do the right thing. so what happens is use an educator will download apps, not realizing yourself that those could also be exposing personal information, such as the location of the kids.

>> right. you say disable the location tracking. >> this is something parents have to do. on every tablet, every phone, every device the kid has that they walk out the door with, disable the location tracking on each of those apps and when you have your kid now download an app, you need to simply say to your kid, hey, it's time for you to do more homework. it's time for you to tell me what apps do you want to download and why, and what is the policy of that app? you're making your kid aware that there is a -- there are apps that are safe and some that don't mean not to be safe, but they are unsafe. >> keep personal information private, if they ask your home address, birthdate. >> never. you just don't -- as a kid, ever give that out. as an adult don't ever give that out, especially when it has to do with tracking where you are at school, what school you go to, what your home address is, the basics. >> whether it's snapchat, whether it's facebook, pick your

while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. you think it smells fine, but your passengers smell this... eliminate odors you've gone noseblind to for up to 30 days with the febreze car vent clip. female passenger: wow. smells good in here. vo: so you and your passengers can breathe happy.

frequently. >> we're glad you're here with us as well. we'll bring awe fox news alert. united states embassies across the globe on high alert as a new terror report with detailed descriptions of secret c.i.a. interrogation tactics is about to be released by senate democrats. >> it's believed to detail methods used in the aftermath of 9-11 attacks. a lot of people say it's torture, not interrogation techniques. >> embassies being urged to prepare for backlash because concern is high in the middle east and north africa as well. bret baier joins us from our nation's capitol. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> the democrats in the senate are releasing this now because they say come january, the republicans are going to run the senate, so we got to do it now. but the white house is saying,

maybe you should consider the timing. and the doj has gone through this. why are the democrats pushing this ahead, because there is a worry that it could be violent? >> yeah. they pledged to come out with this. they've pledged to put it out. diane feinstein has talked about this for months on end and said she's going to go through with it. and you had secretary of state john kerry calling -- questioning, should we delay this, because frankly, you're going to see, according to several people we talked to, including the vice chair, saxby chambliss, you're going to see in here some of the methods that they used and some of the partners around the world who have been work with the u.s. they will be exposed. therefore, probably exposed to more threats from people pushing back. >> if you see jose rodriguez, head of this enhanced interrogation unit, he said senator rockefeller was asking for this.

you have senator feinstein with a totally different tone back in 2001. i cannot see the advantage to revealing something that was a little bit inaccurate in a movie already, in various books out there. we are basically putting this in front of the terrorists' face. i cannot see the reason why. >> other than you've said you were going to do it and following through. the president has been supportive of this coming out despite the fact that they have concerns about how it's going to be received. i think the real question is the accuracy of this report. is it possible that none of this resulted in actionable intelligence? >> that's what they concluded. >> they say that's absolutely not true. and they can point to specific -- i think you're going to see a lot of pushback from the c.i.a. >> yeah. and you hear house intelligence committee chairman mike rogers saying if this is released, groups like isis will take full advantage and you wonder what,

is this going to do to the c.i.a. overall? i want to you listen to this, former president george w. bush defending the c.i.a.'s contributions to this great nation. >> we're fortunate to have men and women who work hard at the c.i.a. serving on our behalf. these are patriots, and whatever the report says, if it diminishes their contributions to our country, it is way off base. >> so ultimately doesn't it come down to politics? isn't it just politics that democrats on the senate intel committee just want to rub republicans' nose in it one more time? >> there is definitely politics. it's in everything that happens in this town of the i think there is also this feeling, like for after all these years of talking about this, they want to get this out. one of the things in this report is that this report did not talk to some of the leaders in particularly in charge of this enhanced interrogation process. >> it's like the rolling stone

article. >> i think you're going to hear from some of those people saying hey, they didn't talk to me. >> but our enemy just needs to hear it. they don't need to understand if it's true or not. they're going to use it as propaganda. >> other stunning news over the weekend, at least to me. six more gitmo detainees, so bad we couldn't find a way to release them for 12, 13 years. but now they're going to urubuay. no promise they're going to monitor them, yet they're in our hemisphere. they're in the americas. why would we do this? >> because this is an all-out effort to empty out guantanamo bay. and we're just seeing it accelerate now. i think that you are seeing a real effort to eventually, before the president leaves office, close guantanamo bay. it was the first executive order he signed when he got into office and he has not been able to come through with that and i think you're going to see this more effort to empty out the

people who were there, whether it's safe or not, i think. >> where is the push it is back? >> where is the pushback from republicans who back in july were informed this could happen? >> i think a few statements here or there, but you're right. there is not a lot of outrage on capitol hill. >> that's the way this president has operated. you want to close gitmo? you got to get rid of the people who are there. afghanistan, you want to leave afghanistan, you got to -- beau bergdahl is out there. let's do what we can to get him back so we can get out of that. meanwhile, speaking of the president of the united states, bret, the president in this sound bite talks about how racism is deeply rooted in the united states of america. listen to this. >> when you're dealing with something as deeply rooted as racism or bias in any society, you got to have vigilance, but you have to recognize it's going to take some time. >> what's curious about this is there is a new black bevel poll

out -- did she bloomberg poll out that shows that during his administration, racism has, by 53%, have gotten work of -- wor. >> it's not a great picture being painted here. obviously he's talking to bet in that interview and he went on to say that this is not the situation 50 years ago and you can talk to your grandparents, it's a lot better than it was, but not great in places. let's be honest, there is racism still in this country and there is both publicly and under the radar those issues still in parts of our country. but when it's being pegged on these two instances the garner case in new york and the ferguson case in missouri, for some people, you can't really get to the finish line on delivering where race factored in significantly in both of those. >> people wonder largely in part the black community looks at it and say, wait a minute.

we had great opportunity in terms of jobs and income and home buying, like what have you done for me lately? that's the big question that's coming up. >> economically. >> that's separate from the rioting. but that's the real enemy. >> huge. and the black community, if you look just at the stats not only in employment and homeownership and all kinds of different figures, it has not improved. in fact, it's gone the other way sometimes. >> sure. all right. bret baier has the big show, 6:00 p.m. eastern time.

wrong about dark tnte park. now the d.a. and county are slamming jon stewart. >> he was so wrong about those facts. they did not shoot him. they tasered him. after he had committed a burglary and he was attempting to assault a deputy sheriff. we lead the state in california in officers being killed in the line of duty. why isn't anybody protesting and marching about that? >> i used to work there. they do a great job. joining us with his reaction, detroit police chief. this bothered you, too, didn't it? >> it did. i really felt that the district attorney's comments were spot on. our officers go out each and every day. they risk their lives, you know. they're met with danger and yet, what i think should happen is the narrative should expand. i'm not suggesting in any way that we shouldn't be transparent

and address deadly force incidents because that's how we build trust and relationship in our communities and we've done that, especially here in detroit. but the narrative needs to expand. >> in what way? >> it needs to expand, we need to talk about the attacks on officers, the fatal shootings where officers are struck by gun fire in serving our communities. for example, this past weekend, had an officer who was met with a mentally ill person and to prevent harm from his partner, he put himself in the pathway of this suspect who then sliced his face. it could have been a very tragic outcome. but we don't talk about those situations, nor do we talk about situations like we had here in detroit involving a nine-year-old little girl who was shot in a crossfire of two gang members. >> right. >> nobody cares about her. i'm not suggesting they don't

care. but let's expand the narrative to address it all. >> yeah. and put it in proportion, is what you're saying. by the way, to finish this end of the story, jon stewart tweeted this out about ramos when it was brought to his attention that he was wrong. you're right. sloppy to put him in our list. tv apology coming monday. larger point still stands. does that make things better? >> i don't think so. jon stewart is a comedian. i don't find comedy in any of this, that we find comedy in our men and women who serve abroad to keep us safe, nor should we find comedy in our men and women who serve in so many communities across america. that's not comedy. >> i agree with you. >> again, i think the narrative should expand. >> chief, just so you know, just to put the stats out, 85 nypd officers were killed after 9-11. so forget 9-11, the numbers would be larger.

85 have been killed in the line of duty. if you want to fine tune community relations with officer, fine. but now it's everybody feasting on you guys and you women that do this on a daily basis, not to get rich, but because you want to give back to the community and it's abhorrent. >> it's tragic when you look at the work. certainly this is not reflective here in detroit because i will tell you here in detroit, our community supports our officers. i mean, we've had protests just like everybody else, there have been peaceful demonstrations. but as it relates to our relationship with our community, it's been positive. i want to continue to remind our officers how much they are valued. >> absolutely. and chief, i want you to keep coming back 'cause this is not going away. james craig, detroit police chief, thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you. coming up straight ahead, we change gears. another state's stand your ground law being challenged. did a young man get shot in

that the jury is not going to buy this defense? >> it is not that simple. let's talk about the facts here. number one is prior individuals, kids who came into his garage who stole alcohol. number two, he knew that there was some kids that were around, prowling. number three, he was sitting there waiting. this is not a case where you're lying at night and you wake up in your bed and you're suddenly downstairs. he was sitting in the garage and went boom, boom, boom, boom. no warning, four shots with a gun and he told the neighbor three days earlier, i'm going to shoot some kids. this is a very different case than your typical stand your ground laws. >> jason, mr. karma in his defense does have the fact that this young man broke into his house. >> absolutely. and you know, it's reasonable. he did -- mr. roth is correct, that he was in fear that he had been the subject of -- he was a victim multiple times of burglaries. he did what reasonable people would do. he purchased a security system.

he put monitors up. the reason he was awake at night is because he had a ten-months-old son lying near him trying to sleep. it was reasonable that he would defend himself in this situation like anybody else with a young child would do. >> richard, i'll give you the final word? >> i certainly understand the stand your ground law and why a man's home is his castle. he should be able to defend it. but that's when you are startled at night and you wake up and there is somebody downstairs. this man was sitting in the garage, with a shotgun in his hand, knowing a kid was coming in. he doesn't warn him. he blows this kid four times with a shotgun. it's horrific. it's really not a stand your ground case. >> it's before the jury right now, so we should know in the next couple of days how they feel. jason and richard we thank you both for joining us. >> thank you. coming up, she once graced the cover of maxim. now this famous russian spy assigned to seduce edward
