ms. megyn is next. i'm bill o'reilly and please remember the spin stops here. we are definitely looking out for you. breaking tonight, with our troops under heightened alert in the wake of the democrats decision to release a new report on a now-defunct enhanced interrogation technique program used after 9/11, president obama defending that decision by demanding american accountability and transparency. to which some responded preacher heal thyself. welcome to "the kelly file," everyone. i'm megyn kelly. here why the democrats chose to release this report. >> there's never a perfect time to release a report like this, but it was important for us, i think, to recognize that part of what sets us apart is when we do something wrong we acknowledge

it. >> it demonstrates a commitment to transparency, demonstrates commitment to accountability in terms of fessing up for falling short. one substantial way we can rebuild that moral authority is to be honest about what happened, to be as transparent as possible about it. >> when we in america do something wrong, we acknowledge it. we are transparent. accountable. we fess up. so we can claim our moral authority. like when the president immediately came clean about his, if you like your plan you can keep your plan promise, when he sold us the obamacare mandate by denying it was actually a tax as he went before the supreme court to say exactly the opposite. when his spokesman told us the white house did not alter the benghazi talking points, when james clapper lied about spying on all americans, when eric holder misled targeting journalists by james rosen. and then the president's 180 on immigration. for years president obama said he did not have the power to halt deportation. he was specifically asked why

not just do it for at least the families of the so-called dreamers, the kids he allow today stay here. and time and time again the president said i can't. >> won't you at least consider unilaterally freezing deportations for the parents of deferred action kids? >> if we start broadening that, then essentially i would be ignoring the law in a way that i think would be very difficult to defend legally. so that's not an option. >> and once the midterms were over it suddenly became an option. yesterday he was pressed on his 180 by jorge ramos of univision. rather than be transparent and accountable, the president denied he's been inconsistent. >> are you concerned about being impeached? >> no. because what we've done is not only lawful based on the evaluations of the office of the

legal council, but is of the same type of action taken by every democratic and republican president over the last 20, 30 years. >> many times you said you didn't have the legal authority to go ahead. you said i'm not the king, i'm not the emperor of the united states, even on march 2011, i quote, we respect the notion we can just suspend deportation through executive order is just not the case, but that's exactly what you did. >> no, jorge, at the time -- and i can run back the tape, the notion was we can just stop deportations period. and we can't do that. >> please do run back the tape, mr. president. ramos of course continued to press mr. obama. and the president continued to sidestep. here's an idea of how the rest went. we've done you the favor of shortening the exchange. watch.

>> what i said very clearly, consistently is what was clear was that we could re-prioritize how we deploy the limited resources we had. we began that process as soon as i came into office because one of the things i think is important to understand is that although we are re-prioritizing and we're still going to be focused on making sure -- let me say this, jorge -- no, no, no. that is not true. listen, here's the fact of the matter. the question is are we doing the right thing and have we consistently tried to move this country in a better direction? when you present it in that way it does a disservice because it makes the assumption that the political process is one that we've still got a big fight that we're going to have to take in the future. >> -- on immigration. >> you could. and i'd be happy to do it. but you're probably running out of time. >> so the transparency that puts

u.s. lives on the line is apparently easy to come by in washington. but that which paints the president in a potentially bad light appears to be a much harder lift. alabama senator jeff sessions is a republican. he's the ranking member of the budget committee, also a member of the senate judiciary and armed services committees. he met with sheriffs earlier today to discuss the issues with president obama's actions on illegal immigration. let's just start with the power, or the lack of the power. as the president pushes for transparency and accountability, i mean, it has been weeks now, senator, and he has yet to even admit that he ever said he didn't have the power to do this. and when pressed by one of the very men to whom he made that representation, he denied that he had done it as he was lecturing our cia analysts and american troops about how they really needed to be honest and own up to their own actions.

>> megyn, i think you make a very valid point. we have always had secret operations in america. every nation in the world has those. nations are not revealing everything that they do. we had no obligation to do that. but the president's been doing a whole lot of things that in secret that he's denying people should know about. for example, he had 20 meetings this summer with big business groups and lobbyist groups and activist groups on immigration. american people weren't involved in how they were negotiating those settlements and who would like to know that. i also think this is clearly undoubt bli -- we had a hearing this afternoon in the judiciary committee unconstitutional and illegal. the president just basically refuse to enforce law that congress has passed. and he's created an alternative system of immigration that congress explicitly refused to pass. and that's what he's making law. he cannot do that. congress makes the law, not the

president. >> and the democrats and many of the american people seem willing to standby and let him do it because they like the end result. and i get that. okay, i get that they like the end result. but that's not the way the system works. and when you've got the president himself being so explicit about the authority to act and then he chooses that very action, why wouldn't half of the american congress stand up and say at least we need an explanati explanation. >> well, i'm worried about what's happening in washington. this is so basic erosion of congressional authority that it goes without saying that republicans and democrats together should reject it. we absolutely have to reject it. and sooner or later we're going to do so. this is not going to be able to stand. we cannot allow it to stand. but you are exactly correct.

our congress needs to stand up and be counted. and so far i'm still hopeful they'll get that done this year. >> really? i mean, because the problem -- >> we cannot -- >> you tell me. but when he behaves like this because we have empowered him and entrusted him with a whole lot. and when we cannot trust him in his administration and his white house to be honest and accountable and transparent with us which by the way was an explicit campaign promise. how can we listen to him lecture others about those very values? >> this is a sad day for the country that the president has demonstrated such a lack of credibility. i got to tell you this is a very sad day. the president of the united states should look the american people in the eye day after day and tell the truth. the congress has a number of things it can do. the simplest thing to me is for congress to fund the government of the united states, explicitly

bar the president from borrowing money belonging to the u.s. treasury to promote his amnesty scheme. they're already renting a building, hiring 1,000 workers to process this, spending $100 million-plus on that alone. we can -- also i think that's the simplest way to deal with it. >> let's talk about the point you were making today in washington with the sheriffs. apparently some local law enforcement has spoken up about the president's action. and what are they saying? >> they are saying this is a lawless action. they fully and universally oppose this. the national sheriffs association, sheriffs from all over the country were there at the office to explicitly condemn the amnesty and entire system management of immigration that's gone on for these number of years. it was a very important thing. they know what's going on on the ground. they know about the crime. they know about the problems. they explain those to us. and this time the american people realize just how much the

law has been undermine for local communities and frustrating law enforcement all over american. >> senator jeff sessions, thanks for being here. up next, one of the most remarkable polls we have seen in a long time on how people think the president is changing this country. plus, reverend franklin graham is here with a warning on what he calls the growing movement to remove religion from the christmas season and beyond. and then, cupcake alert. for the second time in a week students from prestigious law schools are talking about how they need a delay on their exams because they are just too traumatized by the recent events in ferguson, missouri and staten island, new york. and wait until you see what the universities are saying.

we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the united states of america. [ cheers and applause ] >> that was then-senator barack obama promising his supporters that a vote for him would be a vote to fundamentally transform america. he has since said that wasn't the message he was trying to send. but some new fox polls today

show voters think he actually is changing the nation and not in a good way. 68% of voters now say they are very or at least somewhat concerned that the president's executive orders are having a major impact on our system of checks and balances. and that includes 42% of democrats. not to mention 72% of independents and big old number of republicans. chris stirewalt is our fox news digital politics editor, some lace in the high 90s. 42% of democrats and 68% of the country concerned that he is altering the system of checks and balances. what does that tell you? >> well, he is. so that's some place to start. and when we look at the delta here between the number of democrats who like -- not like how he's doing it but agree with the end goal. >> the end goal. >> they agree with him. so we have a significant number of democrats here, more than

40%, who say i think you may be breaking it. and i think the reason they're saying it is, you know, we're watching right now in the senate the republicans engage in a debate on whether or not to undo the option that harry reid and democrats engaged in to hapack courts and jam nominees through, you know what republicans are thinking? maybe we ought to hold onto that in case we get a republican president. >> that's a real test for them. >> exactly. as democrats think about that, you know what their thinking about? if president obama set this new standard, if i set a new standard of what executive authority is, if you think hillary clinton gets elected president, what can she do for wall street with the power of the pen? what about ted cruz and the tax code? if you are a liberal democrat, you are thinking about fundamental changes to the system that you cannot count on a democratic or republican to

do. >> for the 68% who think this is fine, the -- not 58 -- 48%. i can't do the math. i shouldn't even try. >> we didn't get into this business for math. >> for all those democrats, how about a president sarah palin? do you want her to have the power? such huge executive powers to just change the laws? not really enforced the way congress passed and president signed? they can't stand her. some day somebody's going to be in the white house who they can't stand. and the absence of saying anything now is going to come back to haunt them. >> we spent the first, i don't know, five years of the obama presidency in which the answer to all things involves some, well, bush did it so we get to do it too. executive power never walks backwards and very seldom in american or world history has executive power ever marched backwards. it marches forward. you can say the next president

say, president obama already wrecked the car so if i jam it further in the ditch, who cares. that awareness grows. people become increasingly anxio anxious. you get to the point of constitutional relevancy and that's a bigger deal. >> drill down on some of the numbers. president obama's executive orders on immigration. 51% actually disapprove and 43% approve. but when olympyou look at his executive orders, 58% of the public say he's exceeded his authority. only 38% believe he acted within it. yet i can't get my head around the discussion i had with senator sessions, chris, about so you've got 54% saying you've overstepped your bounds, sir, and you know how i know that? you told me you couldn't do this for six years. so how is he getting away -- this isn't his first interview. he it to stephanopoulos three weeks ago. i never reversed myself.

with a magic wand allow -- or suspend deportations for 11 million. bull. bull. that's not -- he was asked that, but he was asked any number of interrations of that. how about just the families of the dreamers, i played the bite, and he said i can't. and now he just refuses to acknowledge he did it. >> well, to be fair, counselor, he ain't exactly coming on "the kelly file". for the president frankly jorge ramos gave him a pretty tough time. >> he tried. jorge ramos really tried. president obama was not having it. >> but if you don't care that's the secret in politics at this point for this president, if it holds true or accurate or anything else, it doesn't matter. what penalty will you pay for getting it wrong if you don't care? and the polls continue to go down. his approval ratings with voters

of all stripes continue to go down. we thought we'd see after the election, well, that's over, okay, fine, now the guy's okay. but instead he goes out and brags, he goes across the country and keeps giving speeches and bragging about it. >> isn't there higher obligation when you are the president of the united states? >> look, we have a continue yum, a handshake deal with george washington one-to-one-to-one-to-one in which these guys say there's something else what's going on here about what i can do, there's also a question of what i should do. we don't have much of that original mojo left. some add to the mojo, some detract from it, but over the art of history we don't have a lot of juice in the tank. and if this president doesn't see himself in a custodial role of the presidency that he needs to keep to it, that he needs to attach to it those things of obligation to the institution beyond obligation to the moment, if he doesn't see nit that way, then what check do you have on him? the embarrassment in an

interview? if you are -- if you cannot be shamed, you cannot be checked. >> i'm sure the white house would say congress has acted in a way that's unprecedented in its view as well. and so all bets are off. but those bets they're in the constitution. so it's not that easy to get away with it. chris, good to see you. >> good to see you. new developments tonight in the zersearch for a young woman killer. up next, destur bing clues. up next, what has some students so traumatized they cannot go on. plus, fox news' ed henry getting national attention for his challenge to the white house's defense of that controversial cia reports release. we'll show you that and then speak to the man who oversaw the entire cia interrogation program. >> how could the president appoint john brennan and james

questioning several possible witnesses and reviewing both security footage from a nearby gas station as well as chambers' cell phone records. no suspects, no motive have been found at this time. well, for the second time in a week we are getting reports from a prestigious law school considering a delay in exams because students are just too traumatized to study. what has them so upset? we'll let trace gallagher pick up that part of our story. >> students wrote about how traumatized they are by the grand jury decisions in ferguson and new york. one letter said, quoting, this is more than a personal emergency, this is a national emergency. and then there was this quote, your silence is a signal that harvard law school is indifferent to the welfare of many of its students. we can't breathe. but harvard law school is not indifferent. apparently it's accommodating students telling us "our staff is available to consider all

such requests. and more importantly to provide students with the support they need. harvard has long had a policy to allow exams to be rescheduled for things like holidays, medical emergencies or a death in the family. this might be the first postp e postponement for a grand jury decision." not everyone's on board with these emotionally driven decisions. a george mason law school professor says the school has "chosen to infant liez them suggesting that adult law students can't handle hearing about perceived injusts in tice the world. >> that's how life works. if you're upset about anything, the judge look at you and say, okay, cupcake, you let me know when you're ready to stand up and argue. >> some students say taking part in local protests have limited the time they have to prepare for exams and experts argue students who took their exams

and didn't do well might make the case they could use a do-over, megyn. >> do you get the irony that is an injustice in a courtroom that's caused these future lawyers to be unable to function and perform their duties? who will hire these people? having had a couple days to think it over, i'm reversing my view on it. you know, my view now is i only wish my three children were older and i wish they were at competing law schools. and i wish they could go up against these people when they get out into the real world. they're going to kick some -- yeah. something bad will happen and then they'll continue to do their work. they'll have that inside advantage. okay. thanks, trace. >> cheers. you bet. >> you feel good. if your kid goes to george mason and they didn't get into harvard, you should be thanking the good lord right now on that development. the white house -- ed henry got a lot of attention over his challenge to the white house's

defense of that controversial cia report and its release. up next we'll show you that. and we'll speak with the man who oversaw the entire cia interrogation program. wait until you hear what he says about these reports. and what do poinsettias have to do with your faith? that's what the reverend franklin graham wants to know after the flower was banned from a courthouse for being too christian. the flower. he'll join us next. and, story of an ivy league professor goes global after he goes to war over a four-dollar mistake at a chinese restaurant. this guy's a charmer. and wait until you hear what he teaches. that's coming up. if yand you're talking toevere rheumyour rheumatologiste me, about a biologic... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. this is humira giving me new perspective. doctors have been prescribing humira for ten years.

reaction to the white house defending the democrats controversial report on cia interrogation tactics in the wake of 9/11. today, president obama refusing to say what he would have done in the aftermath of those attacks. and our chief white house correspondent pressing the administration on how the president could condemn the cia program while at the same time two men who helped design that program work for this president. >> so if you were commander in chief, president, on 9/11, you see no scenario where you would never -- >> well, you know, i'm not going to engage in those kind of hypotheticals. >> how can the president appoint john brennan and james cohen to two of -- the cia and fbi if he believes they endorsed un-american tactics? >> in terms of somebody whose advice the president is pleased he can rely onto keep the country safe. >> so you don't see any

contradiction between them endorsing the policies that the president is attacking and they now serve and -- >> what i can tell you is the president has complete confidence in the professionalism of these individuals -- >> chief white house correspondent ed henry is live for us tonight in washington. ed. >> good to see you, megyn. it's interesting because james comey is now the president's fbi director, john brennan is now the cia director and both served in the bush administration and supported these tough interrogation tactics that the president says he's against now. mark udall, you see him on the left, he's a democratic senator from colorado, he went to the senate floor and blasted john brennan, the cia director, and saying he's lying to congress about these tactics and saying it's time for the president to clean house. there's a contradiction, the president attacking these tactics and yet keeping these officials who supported them on board. i also pressed josh earnest today on the fact that the president says he's against this policy of harsh interrogation tactics against detainees but

had a very tough drone policy where innocent civilians were killed. what about the moral equivalency there? listen. we've seen many cases around the world where u.s. drones have killed innocent u.s. civilians, so how do you feel moral authority? >> i'm saying that's a stark difference than the tactics employed by our enemies who seek car bombs to target -- >> no one's defending the terrorist tactic. >> but you're asking a moral authority, there's a very clear difference between the tactics that are used by terrorists and the counterterrorism tactics that are employed by the united states of america that go to great lengths to protect the lives of innocent civilians. >> the other interesting angle is the president and his top aides believe these tactics broke the law but they're not pursuing criminal charges. u.n. officials today said they believe former cia officials as well as former top bush officials should now face war crimes, but the justice

department and obama administration repeated they were not going to seek criminal charges. >> the whole thing lacks basic context, they say there's no consideration given to the mindset in america after the 9/11 attacks. at the time "new york times" wrote there's been a drum beat of warnings from top officials that terrorist attacks, even a nuclear one, are all but inevitable. and it was against this backdrop that the cia interrogation program was developed and approved. jose rodriguez jr. is the former director of the national clandestine service of the cia. heover saw the cia's enhancement program. thank you for being here tonight, sir. i appreciate it. let's pick up where ed and josh left off. the amazing thing about that exchange was they're so critical of you and your program yet when asked to justify the drone program, where does the white house go? right to the terrorist behavior to try to justify what we're doing is in response to what they're doing. but when it comes to what you

did, you don't get that same benefit of the doubt. >> correct. and i am so tired of hearing from the president and others in this administration that this program was against our values. and frankly i think it's an excuse, an excuse not to capture and interrogate terrorists because this administration does not have the fortitude and the courage to do what it takes to do the mission of capturing and detaining terrorists. >> they'd rather use drones. i mean obviously -- >> they'd rather kill. they'd rather kill. and somehow because they kill from a distance is more ethical than actually capturing and interrogating terrorists, which is actually a little messier and

unpleasant. so it's a distortion. it's a distortion of what our values are. >> and yet they seem to be claiming the moral authority here even though innocents do get killed in these drone strikes, collateral damage if you will. and yet they're really hard on the cia for the death of one terrorist during the enhanced interrogation program. however, if you want to get into it they talk about the tactics, certain things were approved, certain things weren't. among the other things they say were not approved by any of the lawyers and yet were employed they claim in this report by the cia was something called anal rehydration which they say was torture which the cia had no business in doing. your thoughts on it. >> well, you know, megyn, it's interesting because over five years nobody talked to us about any of this. it would have been very helpful if someone would have talked to us and actually showed us the documentation behind it. i really don't know what they're talking about.

it seems like this comes from medical records that they got hold of. because medical rehydration is a medical procedure probably prescribed by physicians. so i'm telling you i do not know any of the information that they are talking about and some of it in the report about abuses and this being one. >> you deny that piece of reporting? you deny that was a tactic ever used to your knowledge? >> there was not an enhanced interrogation tactic. it was not. >> how about the lawmakers who claim they were lie today. >> dianne feinstein has specifically come out. and she says she recalls director hayden briefing the intel committee. she claims it was not until 2006 and she says he refers specifically to a tummy slap among other techniques and suggested that they were minimally harmful. they were not. i mean, query whether she really should have believed that that's what we were briefing congress about was tummy slaps.

she claims that's as much as she was informed of. >> i don't know what she's talking about. nobody went out there to try to mislead the congress. what really burns me about all of this is they're signaling out mike hayden as someone who went out of his way to mislead congress. and, you know, he is a man of great integrity. he served his country proudly for 40 years as a four-star general and as director of the cia and nsa. and ironically he was the guy who opened up the program to the entire membership of the senate intelligence committee and the house intelligence committee. so it's actually disgraceful what they're saying. >> last word to you on context, the context that seems to be lacking as we are so critical of the cia's tactics. >> you know, i want to take you back to may of 2002.

we were getting intelligence of an impending second wave of attacks. we didn't have details as to when, where, how, but we knew it was coming. we knew al qaeda had a biological program, an anthrax program to use against us. and the anthrax attack a month before had concerns for an attack in our country. we knew they were talking to pakistani scientists about a nuclear weapon of some sort. we felt we were in a ticking time bomb and we needed to do something about it. and we had the highest level al qaeda detainee ever in our custody. and we knew he had information we had to get from him to protect the country. >> i know you said before not only did congress approve but they were telling you to do more. that you were being too risk averse. jose, i've got to run. i'd love to speak with you again another time. thanks for being here tonight.

>> it's a pleasure. >> all the best. >> thank you. we are also tracking new concerns that the government is stonewalling the press on a possible presidential contender. see what requests on hillary clinton's time in the state department. and up next reverend franklin graham is here with what he calls the growing movement to remove religion from the christmas season and beyond.

many people clean their dentures with toothpaste or plain water. and even though their dentures look clean, in reality they're not. if a denture were to be put under a microscope, we can see all the bacteria that still exists on the denture, and that bacteria multiplies very rapidly. that's why dentists recommend cleaning with polident everyday. polident's unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria. for a cleaner, fresher, brighter denture everyday.

well, it is now just two weeks until sparkle day in the city of pittsburgh, pennsylvania. what is sparkle day you ask? it used to be christmas. and this is just another example in what my next guest calls a growing hostility toward the sacred holiday for millions and millions of americans. joining me now reverend franklin graham, he's the president and ceo of both the billy graham evangelistic organization and samaritans purse. reverend, great to see you. >> thank you. >> sparkle day, you must be looking forward to that. >> you know, megyn, it's all over the country. you have the secularists and -- wanted jesus christ out of his birthday and they want to deny he ever existed. they want to take his name off everything. this has infiltrated now our government. and our government is attacking christmas. it is not only attacking christmas but the name of christ.

you know, jesus christ came to this earth for a reason. and that's to save us from our sins. he came from heaven to this earth to take your sins, megyn, take mine. and he died on a cross and shed his blood for my sins, your sins. and if we're willing to put our faith and trust in him, god will forgive us of our sins. it's about faith in him. we don't have to do work, we don't have to climb a mountain, we don't have to build a hospital. simply put our faith in him. and god will heal our hearts. and our country, our hearts need to be healed. we look at all the problems, the violence that we have, the d discoudis cou coward in our country. it's only jesus christ that can bring us back. >> what are we to make of the in your face sexuality of public figures like miley cyrus, the sex tape stardom of people like

kim kardashian, this culture where we have, you know, certain songs with the filthy lyrics putting the face on the grammys, this fashion where they're doing gun signs as some way of communicating with fellow human beings, folks in this country. and yet a christmas tree, a nativity scene, is too offensive. >> first of all, going back, it's sin. we are glorifying sin. and people have got to understand god takes sin seriously. hell is a real place. that's what every person who turns their back on god and god will condemn them and he's a righteous judge. he has no choice but to condemn a person because of their sins. but he's willing to forgive sin, every sin, my sin, every sin i've ever committed.

i was 22 when i asked jesus christ into my heart. i put my faith and trust in him. at that moment my sins were forgiven. he'll do that for any person. but what's happening is we're glorifying sin. we're lifting up sin. just like little children shaking their fists in the face of almighty god. >> it's amazing when you go through the examples of how offensive christmas or anything related to christmas has become to some. the city of pittsburgh we mentioned, sparkle day. a minnesota courthouse banned red poinsettias because some claimed they're a christian symbol. and banned of singing christmas songs in public places. ft. pierce, florida, a church is fighting back against a series of billboards that depict a child saying, dear santa, all i want for christmas is to skip church i'm too old for -- stripped after muslim leaders complained. and on and on it goes. >> it does.

that's the world in which we live. i think it's important and i appreciate the fact that you're using your program to expose this. i think we as christians -- not that we fight back, but that as we stand up. and let our voices be heard. and many times christians are polite. and they just, you know, they don't want to be confronting anybody or fighting anybody. so they just kind of back off. i think it's time christians need to stand up and defend their rights. because if you don't, we'll lose them. and we're already losing them just one at a time. and these are good examples. that's happening all across the country. >> i know. defending freedom has been doing that all over trying to explain it's not a violation to allow christmas carols at a pageant. you talk about government and its imprint and how you believe it's waging some of these battles and it's on the wrong side. i know years ago it used to be churches, christian communities

and others that would help people in need, help with health care if they had an emergency or so on. not the government. today that's changing. you're not going down without a fight. your group samaritan purse is reaching out to children all over the world as you have been since 1993. explain this shoe box. >> we ask people to take shoe boxes, fill them with toys for a child. this year we collect about 10 million. we go to 110 countries. and every box we ask as a person packs it is to pray. and a little box like this can bring joy. a child living in a refugee camp. for them to get a gift like this -- >> amazing. with the website how do -- samaritanspurse.org. >> you helped 113 million children in 130 countries. good for you. great to see you, sir. >> thank you. >> all the best. merry christmas. >> same to you. up next, the harvard professor who went to war with

the chinese restaurant over a four-dollar overcharge. i make a lot of purchases for my business. and i get a lot in return with ink plus from chase. like 50,000 bonus points when i spent $5,000 in the first 3 months after i opened my account. and i earn 5 times the rewards on internet, phone services and at office supply stores. with ink plus i can choose how to redeem my points. travel, gift cards, even cash back. and my rewards points won't expire.

so you can make owning a business even more rewarding. ink from chase. so you can. i was thinking about htaking this speed test from comcast business. oh yeah? if they can't give us faster internet or save us money, they'll give us 150 bucks. sounds like a win win. guys! faster internet? i have never been on the internet and i am doing pretty well. does he even work here? don't listen to the naysayer. take the comcast business speed test. get faster speeds or more savings, or we'll give you $150. comcast business. built for business.

in an age where a single internet post can be -- in hours, you want to behave the way you treat others. a professor decided to share a lesson when a chinese restaurant had the nerve to overcharge him by four whole dollars. trace gallagher has more from our west coast newsroom, trace. >> the bill came to $57.35, which was four dollars more than harvard business school professor benjamin ed lman was willing to pay. hadn't updated the new online

menu to reflect higher prices. so the professor who claims to have consulted for companies like microsoft and the nfl started sparring with the owner of the restaurant over e-mail accusing him of intentionally violating a massachusetts consumer protection law and saying that he was entitled to three times the amount of the overcharge writing, and i'm quoting, please refund the $12 to my credit card or you can mail a check for $12 to my home. well, the owner said he was more than happy to return the four bucks and wait for authorities to decide if he needs to pay triple the damages. the owner also said the e-mail exchange broke his heart saying "i have worked so hard to make my family proud and to elevate our business, but professor claims prices have not been updated for four years and he's simply applying the same rules to the chinese restaurant he has to large corporations who also overcharged customers. then suddenly the professor had a change of heart saying "i was

very much out of line, i aspire to act with great respect and dignity in dealing with others no matter what the situation. clearly i failed to do so." by the way the professor loved the food, megyn. >> this just in, harvard has canceled all classes in the wake of the this trauma so erin can have the time they need to deal with it. thanks, trace. we'll be right back. >> sure. daughter: do you and mom still have money with that broker? dad: yeah, 20 something years now. thinking about what you want to do with your money? daughter: looking at options.

what do you guys pay in fees? dad: i don't know exactly. daughter: if you're not happy do they have to pay you back? dad: it doesn't really work that way. daughter: you sure? vo: are you asking enough questions about the way your wealth is managed? wealth management at charles schwab. you don't need to think about the energy that makes our lives possible. because we do. we're exxonmobil and powering the world responsibly is our job. because boiling an egg... isn't as simple as just boiling an egg. life takes energy. energy lives here.
