"fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ good morning. we love the lights of christmas. we have a studio full of -- i love when you walk into the studio with all the lights on and energy. and the toys are filling our studio this morning. that just makes me happy. >> we walked in and won't name them, but some of the cameramen were playing with the toys. that's how compelling they are. >> thomas the tank engine and an oversized barbie house. is that donatello or which ninja turtle is that? >> who do you think that is, tucker? >> i don't know. first we have other news. >> we have to get to the fox

news alert. a $1.1 trillion spending bill is on the way to the president's desk. overnight the senate voted 56-40 to approve the bill and avoid a government shutdown. the measure provides money to keep the majority of the government running through september before voting on the spending bill. texas senator ted cruz pushed lawmakers to fight the president's new immigration policy by voting on whether it's even legal. >> one month ago president obama announced unprecedented executive amnesty in direct conflict with the immigration laws passed by congress. tonight both democrats and republicans will have the opportunity to show america whether they stand with the president who is defying the will of the voters or will the millions of americans who want a safe and legal immigration system. >> well, the measure failed but republicans are vowing to bring the issue back up in the new year. the democrats also used a saturday session to push through approval for two dozen stalled nominations by the president.

foul play now suspected in the disappearance of a wyoming grandmother. 61-year-old kristy richardson vanished back in october. her cell phone was found locked inside her home with the car in the garage. police don't have enough evidence to show a crime, but they say she may have been targeted by a former employee of the company she owned. and it just keeps getting uglier for sony. new e-mails leaked by hackers reportedly reveal executives slamming leonardo dicaprio while gushing over ryans gosselin. in one of his decisions to pull out of a movie, they call his movie despicable. they also slam med jaden smith.

the only person getting love was ryan gosselin who was considered for "ghostbusters," "sinister six" and "jobs." and the heisman trophy winner is -- marcus mariota who received the second highest heisman score in history known for his 2.0 history. he'll be back on the field in the new year's day rose bowl game. and those are your headlines. i'm ready, give it to me. >> he's not shaking this morning. >> yeah, not a bad morning this morning. temperaturewise, we are seeing precipitation.

we have problems out there. the east coast not where we are dealing with it. the south had another spectacular day today and we are dealing with the pesky system t maine. but overall, nothing to worry about. across the west this is where the action is around parts of california. then that storm is now pulling out across parts of the central rockies. today that injects into the central plains. this morning we have the snow across areas of colorado. watch what happens this afternoon with severe weather developing across parts of oklahoma, kansas and north texas. then snow back behind this in the western parts of nebraska, northeastern areas of colorado and parts of wyoming and montana seeing the snow. then look at that, the next rainstorm moves in across california tonight and tomorrow and by tuesday across parts of southern california. temperaturewise, another very warm day across the plains. enjoy 61 in kansas city. that does begin to change by tomorrow. you're at 53 and going to tuesday you're back to the 30s where you typically should be this time of the year. >> maybe the warmer temperatures

are why thousands of people came out yesterday for the protests around the country. they did. in washington, new york and cities across america. in washington the rally was held by the reverend al sharpton, host of msnbc's program. and there he is, sharpton got up to explain we're not against the police. this was his claim. >> hands up! hands up! >> we are not saying our police are bad. we are not even say iing most o them are bad, we are not anti-police but we are anti-brutality. and the federal government must have a threshhold to protect that. second, the justice department must have a division funded to deal with this. and thirdly, we must have the power of special prosecutors, not the local prosecutor.

>> so first we heard people saying, we want the cops dead. and the second, we heard al sharptop say we are not against the police. >> a lot of protesters were weariwea wearing shirts that said, we are not wearing thug pins. >> i was trying to get around town and of course traffic was snarled by this. there were 25,000 people according to some estimate that is were taking to the streets. so largely they feel strongly about this. and largely it was peaceful. i didn't hear anybody say, what do we want? dead crops. there are always bad apples in this. i kept hearing them say, hands up, don't shoot. and i can't breathe. >> they were making this a racial issue. i don't have any problem with the conversation about police brutality. i don't want the police to look like delta force. that's a real conversation, i may engage with them. i may agree with them.

but these are not examples of racism and it is totally unhealthful to make this a conversation about white versus black. and it's ridiculous to have al sharpton who is a criminal. >> where is the outrage when a police officer gets killed in the line of duty? >> much of the criticism and even the people affected by the violence have come out to say, look, mr. sharpton, don't turn this into a rodeo. don't block our streets and turn this into a circus. address the real issue in our community which is the family breaking down. >> because it's too hard. it's so much easier, and the president of the united states is doing the same thing, it's a lot easier to bring racism into being america's biggest problem. you pass the buck by saying that. there's nothing you can do about it. and it takes the focus off you. you don't have to do anything about the massive unemployment in the black community or the crime in the black community, those are the real issues, but

you get to ignore them when you blame it on racism. so it serves the purposes of a couple people, president obama and al sharpton but shafts everyone else. >> you're looking at new york city with protests there and washington, all across the country yesterday. up in boston was probably the one that caused the most problems. they had to arrest two dozen people there in massachusetts for disorderly conduct. and the widow of eric garner took to the streets to say, my husband was a quiet man, you're making a lot of noise right now. he died after the chokehold in new york city. >> much more on that throughout the show this morning, but now did you see yesterday in new york city if you were stuck in traffic walking around, there were santas everywhere. >> santa-con. >> santa is a symbol of christmas. >> but apparently one person was

offended by santa. there was a school that has had santa in their program for years but it's no longer. this parent writes this, i'm writing to inform you of a change in our concert series this winter. our first through fourth grade concert will not include a visit from santa clause this year. >> one parent was upset about it. one parent. >> who was screams the loudest gets whatever they want. there are a lot of outraged parents who say this, i don't think it's right and i know a lot of people agree with me. it seems like that's what is going on in america. the squeaky wheel gets oil. it's a shame. >> one malcontent gets to change everything for everybody. somebody is mad about bathrooms that say boys and girls, you have a single transgender person mad about it. so we don't get bathrooms for boys and girls. it's the tyranny of the tiny minority. we have a lot of viewers who don't celebrate christmas. we have a lot of non-christian

viewers. are you outraged by santa clause? i would like to know. >> he helps make toys, he has elves and is a cute and cuddly man. >> and he makes kids act nice and not naughty. he's a terrible man. >> if you don't celebrate christmas, very few are upset about santa. but that's my guess. >> if you are upset about santa, go to ffweekend on facebook and we'll read them. coming up, you've heard the stories of schools revolting against mrs. obama's school lunch menu. hear what they do so they don't have to eat it. and is this administration emboldening our enemies by letting them do this? we'll have more on this, next. introducing the new philips norelco shaver series 9000

24 hours. zero heartburn. hi, good morning, everyone. the president wants to shut down gau gauntanamo bay. so what does this mean for our prisoners? a lot of people who saw these pictures are thinking, are you kidding me? this is how we treat them? >> it is like they are international celebrities. these guys have been well treated. if anything, it shows, hey, we treat these guys humanely and release them to uruguay and they are free. but the height of the sinister side of this, when you look at the wrap sheet of these guys,

they are international terrorists who are relatively free. a military leader is housing them. they can go where they want. we are wiping our hands of them in order to close guantanamo bay. >> should we be worried they are going to plan another attack with terrorists? >> sure we should. when you read where they were, associates of osama bin ladin, a lot of them had suicide bomber training or training in false identification. these are members linked to al qaeda who can now travel where they want, but what it really comes down to is there's a day on the calendar circled by this administration, january 20th, 2017. they want guantanamo bay empty or as close to by then. regardless of where the guys have been. it's not about national security but some faux belief we are going to improve our image if we shut it and shut these guys out of guantanamo bay and give them

to the world to be jihadist rock stars. >> and what is the danger if we do that? under leo panetta, four of them were released. and chuck hagel released 30. and that's while he was allegedly dragging his feet not to do it so quickly. >> the dangers at this point is who you are releasing. the worst of the worst. the ones you have held on to for the longest are in there, except for the ones we have swap for the beau bergdahl. some are unable to be released, but in order to close the place, you have to get it below 130. get it lower to bring them here to the united states or push them out altogether. this is part of a race to the bottom and none of it has to do with improving our national security. and everything to do with the talking point of guantanamo bay to be closed. >> pete, thank you so much. coming up on "fox and friends," they spent a fortune to bm legal citizens in america.

some quick headlines for you. adding insult to injury, president obama's military action protecting millions from deportation will be paid for by those who came to this country legally and went through the entire lengthy process. the processing fees paid to the

u.s. citizenship and immigration services will now fund the amnesty plan. oh, the irony. and terrorists are out there but there's strict new guidelines for the british military that they cannot insult or shout at terrorists. the officers say the new rules make interrogation completely pointless. clayton? thank you, tucker. sony still reeling from the ugly hack attack. leaked e-mails show hollywood producers mocking everyone from the top celebrities to the president. is anyone's e-mail safe? >> i'm fresh this morning. we are hearing more from this, the sony hack on hollywood. it is really unraveling this morning. we are hearing about will smith's kids willow and jayden

being criticized. and leonardo dicaprio being attacked who has been apologizing all over the place already. should a company we work for be infiltrated as well. >> t not a basement attack, this is a sophisticated attack. >> this is a sophisticated one meant to be destructive and not meant to be quiet to steal information as we are used to. so let me tell you about this new world of hacking and what you might want to do to get ready for protecting yourself. and the first thing is, when you go to work, you probably already know this, but let me just remind you. your work e-mail is not yours. it does not belong to you, it is not your private. you have no entitlement of privacy there. assume that it's public. and that even if you log on with your gmail account at work, if you are using a work commuter or

network, that's not your private -- >> if you are using their pipes, what goes through their pipes is open to you. >> bingo. >> you make a great point to keep it professional. when using work e-mail, keep it professional. >> you have to keep that in mind. >> amy pasqual did not get that because she was way off. >> never say something in a work e-mail you wouldn't want somebody else to read out loud in public. and in the sopny case, they started deleting hard drives and e-mail. instead of just circulating them n this particular case, you don't go to back up your e-mail somewhere else on your system. perhaps you can forward it to your own personal address if that is critical to you. >> there's a great tool. many of us have thousands of old e-mails and think, this is clogging up our computer system. any time you get a new computer it is down loading the data and sucking up the gigabytes. use the pdf compressor. save it as a pdf.

it will work to save space to get you out, a few years from now i have to go back for tax records to have it. >> right. something you don't usually do is go to the i.t. people and say, who is responsible for the e-mail? what are you doing right now protect us from something like this we're seeing in the news from sony. if they don't have a good answer for you, guess what? they need to take action and you can assume you are not well protected. and one dead giveaway is a question that says, have we ever been infiltrated and if so, how long did it take for us to know. because thement average attack when a company is infiltrated is seven months before anyone gets detected. it's a crazy number that has got to narrow up. and last tip is, be careful where you charge your device. you go to work and plug it in to your office computer, well, guess what? that usb plug can now be a conduit for access to the personal information on your own

device as well. >> contacts, e-mails that exist on your phone and now going through your computer and back to itunes or other places. fascinating stuff. we'll see more from sony i'm sure over the coming days. great to see you, kurt. all kurt's up foe is at www dos cyberguy.com. and we have toys over here. coming up, you have heard stories about students revolting against school lunch. now one school is taking action for them to get to eat it. and are you bitter when it comes to toys like thomas the train this season? with 15 feet of track. we have the top mega toy next.

published a manpower study that we summarized to ask employers, where are they expecting to hire the most city by city? >> the idea here is that sometimes if you want to work you have to move. and that's bad news, but for some people that's the reality. so where are you most likely to get a job? >> well, it does matter. price to work matters, a lot of conditions matter around the job. the big picture from employers is that 19% are expecting next year, this is estimating quarter one of 2015, to increase staff levels while 6% are saying decrease. so what that translates to around the country is a very different look at the job picture. according to what employers are saying, what we see in top areas, border areas are both california, texas and florida are showing strong indications of gapes. and weaker areas across washington state and new york state. you can zoom in on any of the regions and talk more in detail. >> so you say the strongest

cities for employment looking forward, the first is cape coral, florida. a city devastated by the subprime meltdown on the west coast of florida. there it is. >> zooming in, cape coral has strong growth by employers. looking at net employment outlook of 32%. way ahead of the national average across other cities. looking at hospitality, tourism, driving a lot of that. florida is doing very well, even in this economy. cutting taxes, getting their job performance and really trying to compete more with texas. >> okay. great. and speaking of texas, you say mcallen, texas, down in the southern part of the state, which is -- >> they are way down along the mexican border. >> right down there. >> mcgowan, texas, has not been prosperous over the years but it is roaring back and one of the best places to look for a job right now. >> a 20% outlook there. right on the border with u.s. trade between texas and mexico. strong performance expected

there. >> grand rapids,my. this is interesting because michigan is really doing well. >> grand rapids is showing growth in mittation and aviat n aviation. >> and next door in milwaukee. >> doing very well with performance back in particularly small and middle sized manufacturing. governor scott walker cutting taxes and seeing job growth strengthening out of chicago toward milwaukee. >> interesting, here's what i didn't expect, oxnard, california, east of los angeles. that state has a lot of economic trouble. we have chronicled that extensively on "fox & friends." but oxnard is doing great. >> the state of california has a lot in the way of job performance. the maximum income rate. and basically we have an

international trade hub in los angeles doing very well with trading in asia. >> interesting. all right. where should you not move? what is on the list? first up is spokane, washington. >> spokane, washington, is up here. we have eastern washington with a weaker performance. employers are only looking at a 2% growth. that's well below the national average. other areas in the region include portland, oregon, where they are only seeing 3% average. >> despite the famous restaurant, not a great place to get a job. >> it is certainly not projected by what employers say. >> and syracuse, new york, and rochester. >> right. both region here's in western new york, of course, new york very high tax rate. and climate issue here. and this is an area weak in performance relative to the rest of the country for quite some time and is projected to stay that way. >> finally, indianapolis, indiana, you say. not growing in the way you would expect. >> well, at least from what

employers are saying. 6% net employment outlook well below the national average. we know indiana is doing as a state a little better than the rest of the country. >> it is doing pretty well. travis, thank you so much. appreciate it. coming up, terror in the sky when a russian fighter jet nearly collides with a passenger plane. but the reason why has defense forces concerned this morning. we'll give you details. and we told you that atheists are launching a billboard against those who skip church. now a man is fighting back with billboards of his own. we'll show you what they are.

hi, good morning, everyone. we told you about the group american atheists launching controversial billboards in the bible belt with the message "skip church." the next guest wanted to respond with a message of his own with the help of his community. this billboard was put up, merry christmas with christ underlined. thank you for being with us this morning. >> anna, it's my pleasure to be here. >> when you saw these atheist billboards going up all over, in north carolina where you are, what bothered you so much about it. was it just the skipping church part or the i don't believe in fairy tales anymore? >> maybe all of that. and maybe it's that they're making a stronger voice that the

kris chchristians are. >> do you ever feel there's a war on christmas and you're able to fight back with a strong message with a big billboard? >> i think that's exactly what i believe. and really, this story is as much about the employees of johnson nursery as it is about david johnson. we as a group just felt like too many people are trying to take christ out of christmas. so this was our response, more to that, even than to the billboards. >> at the bottom of your billboard it says it was brought to the community by you. what have your customers been saying coming into the nursery? >> we are a wholesale nursery so we don't have a lot of drive-in customers. but we've had only favorable response from the community and from anyone that we do business with. so i don't think anyone that we talk to have taken this negatively and certainly for us this is a very positive message.

we are just wishing everyone a merry christmas. >> all the atheist groups have got and lot louder over recent years. and they say that this is a previous published report that the billboards are needed in the south because discrimination is, quote, especially pronounced in that part of the country. how do you respond to that? >> well, i'm not sure i have a great response for that. i just -- i am really more concerned with the christians than with the atheists. and i think i'm probably more offended by christians who put out flyers and they don't mention christmas. so it's interesting that in our area it's a lot of holiday this and season that. and there's just not a lot about christmas. so it's interesting that the atheists put christmas on their billboard and the christians

don't. >> well, and the atheists are clearly wanting to spread their message, not just to be persecuted themselves but to try to cop vert christians into atheists. do you see that as a problem? >> well, i do see that as a problem. but i'm not here to make a big controversial statement about that. i'm really here just to proclaim the great news that jesus' birthday is here, it's christmas. we want to celebrate it as christians and make it a very positive message. christmas is about joy, peace and love and generosity. and i think that that is who christians are. >> it is certainly a sweet and uplifting message and a true reason for the season. david johnson, thank you for your time for being so bold and loud in your faith. >> thank you. it's been an honor to be on this and merry christmas. >> thank you. 55 minutes after the hour. coming up on "fox & friends," does this sound like a peaceful

protest to you? >> what do we want? dead cops! >> is threatening death to police the right way to protest? lieutenant colonel allen west here with the real message civil rights leaders are trying to send, ahead. and a mayor accused of spending $700,000 in taxpayer money on himself gets to keep his job. wait until you hear what he spent it on.

how much money do you have in your pocket right now? i have $40, $21. could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement? i don't think so. well if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years, that retirement challenge

might not seem so big after all. ♪ and i quit smoking with chantix. i had tried to do it in the past. i hadn't been successful. quitting smoking this time was different because i got a prescription for chantix. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. the fact that it reduced the urge to smoke helped me get that confidence that i could do it. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix.

some people had seizures while taking chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix or history of seizures. don' take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i love myself as a non-smoker. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. everybody. today is sunday, december 14, 2014. i'm anna kooiman. experts say the cia interrogation puts the american lives at risk, but that doesn't matter to one radio host.

>> senator fine stein is an american hero. and releasing this report is the best thing we can possibly do. >> an american hero? we report, you decide. plus, the sony hack attack probably pulled off by north korea, by the way. and it gets uglier. brand new e-mails to expose hollywood for the snakepit it is. why executives call leonardo dicaprio despicable and what rattled george clooney so much he didn't sleep for 30 hours. whoa! stocking details straight ahead. and take notes, guys. this is why you should stick to a traditional marriage proposal. >> how does a girl respond when a crane comes crashing through their home by accident.

"fox & friends" hour two starts right now. welcome, everyone. and welcome to "fox & friends." we getter keep christmas lights up. >> later this hour, we've got the tips you need for outdoor holiday lighting this christmas season. you know people end up like the griswolds and take out power for the entire block and neighborhood. >> there's really nothing about christmas we are not covering. so if you're celebrating, stay tuned. we have three hours to go and you don't want to miss a minute. >> we have all angles. >> we'll be sharing some of our traditional holiday traditions. coming up, that's in the 8:00 hour for my family. 9:00 for your family. >> do you put up christmas lights? >> do i personally put them up?

i have four children. >> i get it. we have to get to the fox news alert on this sunday morning. a 1.1 billion spending bill on the way to the president's desk. overnight, the senate voted to approve it to avoid the government shutdown. the measure funds the majority of the government through september before voting on the spending bill. texas senator ted cruz pushed lawmakers to fight the president's new immigration policy by voting on whether it's even legal. >> house democrats and republicans have the opportunity to show america whether they stand with the president who is defying the will of the voters or with the millions of americans who want a safe and legal immigration system. this point of order is targeted, not to the omnibus, but to the dhs funding that the president has spent unconstitutionally. >> the measure failed but republicans vow to bring this up in the new year. democrats also use the saturday

session to push through approval for two dozen failed nominations by the president. across the country, 25,000 people are taking to the streets in a day of organized rallies calling petition to the police shootings of unarmed black men. >> don't shoot! hands up! don't shoot! >> in washington the march heading straight down pennsylvania avenue toward the capitol building. the action network by al sharpton leading the rally. >> we don't all agree with each other. we don't all have to the same tactics. >> this caused major traffic jams in new york but police say no arrests were made. a different story in boston with protesters scuffling with cops after trying to block a highway on-ramp. a total of 23 people there taken into custody. a scare in the skies over sweden for the second time this

year. a russian military jet just misses slamming into a commercial airliner. they reportedly turned off their transponders so they didn't show up on radar. swedish officials now say russia needs to increase surveillance in the area to what it was like during the cold war. and the royal family getting into the christmas spirit. william and kate releasing new pictures of prince george. look at him! the 17-month-old is all smiles as he poses for his christmas portrait taken by a member of the royal staff. those are your headlines. >> he's a cute kid, actually. >> holiday nickers on. >> right, 17 months old. i didn't realize it goes that fast. >> other people's kids grow up fast. >> it's amazing. another nice day across the central plains. if you think temps have been crazy, they have been. we have been talking about the storms on the east side of the coast, but the middle of the country is incredibly warm.

des moines, 57 degrees. 10 above average. kansas city, up to 59. that's almost 20 degrees above where you should be. that will change tomorrow. we'll see temps drop, but this is what will happen across the plains. this is the same storm that brought all the weather across parts of california. now it's here across the central plains and the rockies. we'll see pretty significant snow across areas of nebraska, south dakota, wyoming into montana. and some severe weather later on in the day on the southern side of this storm. we are going to see the central kansas area down to just north of dallas. not a big severe weather outbreak, but we could see a tornado or two. so we want to watch out for that and be prepared. definitely strong winds as the squall line moves through. temperaturewise today, here's the warm batch of air across the central plains with the southeast looking good. we start to see cooler air move in and i say cooler because it's certainly going to be very cold. 19 on tuesday in fargo. but it could be a lot worse. and into wednesday we'll remain cool. but overall, this weather pattern with milder temperatures continues, which is going to be very nice for us. it will look that way for the

next couple of weeks. >> you are a good man, rick. i hold you personally responsible for the good weather. get ready to start to say this phrase from now on. senator dianne feinstein is an american hero. >> i have never heard that. >> get used to it being repeated over and over again, then it is true. a liberal radio talk show host thinks with the release of the cia report by dianne feinstein that she is an american hero for doing just that. listen. >> senator feinstein is an american hero. and releasing this report is the best thing we can possibly do because, look, there's obviously controversy about what with a was done with all the detainees. and the best thing to do in a democracy is to put this information out there and let the people look at it and decide whether it was appropriate or not. and i don't think it was appropriate. what was done in my name is a

bismol. >> can we talk about this, when it was a report no witnesses were interviewed for this? >> i don't believe either side of this. the cia, i remember them well during the bush years, it's hard to know what is true. i don't stay up at night thinking people pulled off the battlefield in afghanistan where they were mistreated. but it does bother me that american citizens could be treated like that. we have to make sure it never happens to american citizens. dianne feinstein is a simple libertarian, where was she when the obama administration was reading my gmail and listening to cell phone conversations? i don't remember her standing up to call that outrageous. she defended it. don't tell me she's a civil libertarian. i'm a civil libertarian and don't want the government mistreating american citizens. we should be totally clear that's the goal to keep that from happening. >> president obama agrees and says look, the transparency is

good in government with the report coming out to shed light on it. we have a discussion about it and improve upon it and move forward, but the former attorney general says it is a disaster to hurt the future of america. listen. >> it's a disaster from so many standpoints and is hard to know where to begin. but one place to begin is what it means for the future. the cia is going to be demoralized and this will reverberate for years, maybe decades. i think the next president is going to be severely handicaps by going into office with the cia just like the one we had back in the '90s. >> the cia set up a website to defend their actions and say that their tactics for interrogating did leave information to lead to the location of osama bin laden despite what others say. it's hard to know when you look back, how can you really gauge that? >> well, leaving aside the question of interrogation, one thing that came up is that the cia over the past 13 years has been a lot more impressive and a

lot more effective than the cia of the 1990s. that is just indisputably true. you want a strong intelligence apparatus to fight against those who want to kill us. does anyone disagree with that? >> no, and the cia was rushed into this role to question people on the battlefield. this is a new role of the cia. you see all these different manifestations of the cia over the years. >> for members of congress to get up, whatever you think of enhanced interrogation or torture, for the people to stand up to say, i am shocked! i had no idea! really? because you didn't read "the washington post" over the years? don't neglect your oversight and wine about it a decade later. that's just phoneny. >> like governor huckabee pointed out yesterday. let us know your thoughts. >> she said she was broadsided by it. just shocked! meanwhile, the sony scandal

is growing larger and larger because new e-mails have come out. we are in for a bombshell come christmas time. we are hearing there could be more information coming out from sony in the coming days. but apparently leonardo dicaprio has been basically slammed by amy pasqal for turning down films calling him despicable. steve jobs film he was supposed to play, he turned that down and got slammed for it. >> george clooney was begging for protection from battered views over the movie "the monument men." that was leaked. he said, i haven't slept in 30 hours, help me out here. >> and in the movie "american hustle," why should men make more when the liberal left is always screaming about women making less than men. >> and there were so many things that came out from this.

really disturbing things, like other hr documents. hr information about people who work for sony with high medical bills. 34 sony employees, medical conditions like premature birth, cancer, kidney failure, alcoholic and liver serrosis. >> the most shocking thing out of my point of view, it looks like this hack was conduct by north korea's government. how is that not a front-page story. and amy pascal said, sony is leaning on me to change the movie on north korea because kim jong un doesn't look it so we have to adjust the movie. sony took orders from the north korean government and changed the movie at the request of kim

jong u.n. >> kevin mccarthy got to see this a week in advance, but north korea got an advanced copy. >> this is a parody of the evil l.a. producer. you know what i mean? he stepped up to corporate interest. no, they stepped up to the dictator of north korea. >> and producers in hollywood typically suck up to democrats as well. and who helped elect the president, not once but twice, hollywood did, right? and you saw these terrible exchanges earlier this week. many were saying were racial jokes, basically saying the president only would like presidents that have african-american stars and medians like kevin hart and movies like "12 years a slave." >> i'm waiting for al sharpton to show up on her front lawn protesting in tow. >> amy called al sharpton a few

days ago. >> reverend sharpton, why don't you talk to amy pascal about this. she called him a few days ago and jesse jackson to apologize. that was the first person she called. >> unbelievable. coming up on the show, does this sound like a peaceful protest to you? listen. >> what do we want? dead cops! >> what do we want? dead cops. threatening police, is that the right way to protest? allen west is here with the real message civil rights leaders are trying to send. and take a note, guys. this is not the way to propose. how does a girl respond with a proposal involving a crane crashing into her home? >> that's a hard one. >> came in like a wrecking ball. she inspires you.

no question about that. but your erectile dysfunction - that could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, or any allergic reactions like rash, hives, swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis for daily use

dave, i'm sorry to interrupt... i gotta take a sick day tomorrow. dads don't take sick days, dads take nyquil.

the nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, fever, best sleep with a cold, medicine. this is a march for the rights of the american people. members of congress, beware. we are sick about three things. when you get a ring-ding on christmas, it might not be santa. it may be me coming to your house. >> al sharpton referring to himself in the third person like fidel castro. he went out on the march for all, but do the protests do more harm than good? joining us is fox news contributor lieutenant colonel allen west. thank you for joining us. does a march like this help the

country or no? >> no, it doesn't, tucker. good morning and merry christmas. it does not help the country, but let's start off by understanding one simple thing. if myself or a conservative owe $4 million to the i.r.s., i doubt we would be leading marching through new york city or have our own talk show. >> you would be in jail right now. >> absolutely i would be in jail. so you just have to wonder if it is totally validated. but al sharpton is not talking about the real issues in the black community. and that's really what should be the discussion. michael brown is part of a black teenager group that has almost a 45% unemployment rate. they are not talking about the failure of the public school system in the black community. they are not talking about the december ma dessimation of the black family. the teachers unions wouldn't

allow them to talk about charter schools or home school. >> i agree with you. but the president is the same way. isn't it a lot easier to say the problem is white racism. there's nothing we can do about it. we are not responsible for the failures of policy that have left black america in the condition it's in, so just blame racism. isn't that the easier explanation? >> it is a much easier explanation. it's the low-hanging truth. that's what we used to call it in the military. because if they were to confront this, they would have to understand it's their own policies that have caused this and their own policies to create an almost 21st century economic plantation in the cities. but when you go back, there's a great quote by booker t. washington to talk about black people who love to have grievances in front of people to keep their position. >> i want to get your response to the michael brown shooting.

you're looking at pictures of it on the screen. in it, a cop is symbolically executed, but the striking thing about this video calling for violence is that some of the people in it are public defenders here in new york. paid for by tax dollars to defend the accused. what do you think of that? >> well, first of all, it's absolutely apalling that tax dollars would be used for a propaganda video. but when you have mayor de blasio speaking out against the police, it's just part of this whole process that you see going on. >> what do you think the chances are for higher crime rates in the next couple of years? >> i think it is very high you'll see that. very high. >> colonel allen west, thank you for coming on this morning. >> thank you. i would like to say happy birthday to my wife angela today. >> amen. happy birthday, angela. thank you. >> thank you. coming up, it's been there for 40 years, but now this nativity scene is deemed

offensive. the war on christmas is actually still going on, this time one town is fighting back. and he survived being stranded at sea. beatings at the japanese p.o.w. but is "unbroken" an epic survival story? '?

good morning. 250,000 is how many e-mails former governor jeb bush plans to release from his time in office. bush says it is to create transparency as he considers the 2016 presidential run. next, $7,000. that's how much money a tennessee mayor is accused of costing taxpayers after sending two employees on a personal errand using a city truck. the truck broke down during the trick racking up the bill and

towing and repair costs. finally. 90.92%. that's how much was the vote for quarterback marcus mariota to be named this year's heisman trophy winner. the second highest vote in history. thank you, anna. well, after his war plane crashes, the world war ii pilot survives adrift at sea longer than anyone on record. watch. >> hello! we're going to die out here. >> we're not dying! >> so you think this is some kind of grand plan. >> i have good news and bad news. >> you are enemies of japan. you will be treated accordingly. >> "unbroken" is the film. kevin mccarthy sat down with the

director angelina jolie. >> it is an incredible story based on a book. he was an incredible man who passed away earlier this year in july. he spent two years in the japanese p.o.w. camp after being captured at sea for 47 days. and he never broke. hence the title of the movie, obviously. and just to see a man do that and then live to 97 years old. now the crazy thing is angelina jolie got to show him the movie before he passed away. >> did he know about the movie? >> he was involved. so basically, he was in the hospital and she brought to him the movie on her laptop and showed it to him. i asked her what that experience was like. check it out. >> he's been a part of the film even from the beginning and he approved the script and approved jack. and when i was doing the -- the drafts first came in and sent him the picture and he said they looked like. it is amazing to be with someone to reflect on their life. and you want to know how they are going to feel about it.

but i knew him and knew how loving he was and he was non-judgmental. so i was very happy to bring it to him and have something to bring to him at that moment in his life in the hospital. so it was beautiful. in fact, to watch him, to watch him watch his life. his bright blue eyes watching. in a state where he couldn't really move very well, watch himself cross the finish line and fight back against all odds. and watch his mom and remember his friends. and i think maybe in some way it helped to prepare him for the end of his life. >> imagine being there and showing somebody their life in a movie. obviously, as she said, it helped him prepare. >> it's an amazing book. it's tough on the japanese government. they come off not well. >> it's an incredible film to open on christmas day.

and "night at the museum: the secret of the tomb" comes out. how did they shoot the moments of the characters talks? i've always wanted to know that. i got ask that while also being tiny. check this out. congratulations to you guys. pleasure to see you. >> we can hear you but we are not -- where are you? >> i'm down here, guys. >> down there. >> hey, little buddy. >> owen only shows up the last week of shooting as we have been working for four to five years. >> contract. >> and there's a little figurine that looks like a toothpick on a board. and literally just like acting with little sticks. >> what is crazy when owen wilson shoots his scene, he's looking at a laser pointer of dots and the director is talking like she's as ben stiller.

it's so cool how they do that. but i'm tom cruise height there. >> you go from normal size to tiny -- did your joints hurt? >> they slunk me with a laser. i was fighting the ants in the grass and then went back up. it was awesome. awesome technology to do that for me. >> good to take the kids to? >> i think it's the best in the series. and the last scene in the film with robin williams hits you emotionally considering what happened to robin williams. >> the third is the best of the three. pretty cool. >> yeah. >> you're a pretty cool kid. >> you have me on the couch. merry christmas to you guys. i love you guys, so much. >> love the tie. >> thank you, buddy. dozens of police officers on the ground right now searching for three escaped inmates. two of them are convicted killers. how do they get out of prison and where are they now? those are the questions. we'll have details. and talk about thinking outside the box. one man is taking the holiday

spirit to a whole new level to inspire faith for anyone who receives it. so what is inside? we'll share that with you, coming up. ame's louis, and i quit smoking with chantix. i had tried to do it in the past. i hadn't been successful. quitting smoking this time was different because i got a prescription for chantix. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. the fact that it reduced the urge to smoke helped me get that confidence that i could do it. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some people had seizures while taking chantix. if you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix or history of seizures.

♪ that's your shot of the morning. you know the girl loves you when you say yes. the dutchman thought it would be a good idea by appearing in her window hanging from a crane. that wouldn't freak her out? the only problem is the crane was never secured properly and toppled over smashing into the house. the other crane tried to lift the first one off and it fell again damaging a neighbor's house. nobody was hurt. the engaged couple is now celebrating in paris. >> they fled to paris so they wouldn't have to deal with the insurance company. >> i think that's the most ro n romantic thing i have seen in a long time. honey, i love you so much. i will destroy an entire building for you. >> you get ready and there's a guy hanging out there?

thank you, tucker. isis militants brutally beheaded. four christian children in iraq, all of them under the age of 15. the leader of the anglican church in baghdad said it's because they wouldn't denounce jesus and convert to islam. >> so where is the global outrage on this? joining us is fox news contributor father jonathan morris. it is emotional to hear about anything going on, anyone be beheaded, whether american journalists or british journalists, but then you hear children. >> four children under the age of 15 who are being asked, do you denounce jesus? supposedly if they say yes, then they are let go. and first of all, something to celebrate, these children loved god enough to say i'm not going to betray my faith. and they die. it's tragic, it's also in my opinion, a beautiful sign of love and faith that helps me want to be a better man, to be a better follower of jesus.

but what i would love to see is our president and other leaders stand up, international leaders, and keep reminding us of what's going on. it goes in waves. you hear it for about two or three days when there's enough outrage coming from the people. but how about leadership to say, this is what we need to continue to do as an international community? instead of just sitting back to let us get the news from other people like the leader of the anglican church in this case. >> but you see this all over the region and all over the world from nigeria to syria. you see christians being persecuted. >> is so what do we do, tucker? >> it's considered on the left it's like, whatever, that's not a headline. >> well, i would like to hear -- i would like leadership from our president. i would like leadership from other international leaders to stand up to say, remind us what is going on. it's very easy just to sit back and say, we're going to send a few bombs and then get out but

not talk about it until the people start talking about it. again, that's why i'm glad we are doing segments like this to bring it to the forefront and to bring it to the consciouses of our leaders. >> as christians hear this before heading out to church this sunday morning, when we face trials and tribulations we doubt god and our faith, but they didn't. >> we talked about doubt last week. and i said, i doubt sometimes, god's intervention in my life, and that's a very normal human thing. so i don't think we have to be worried about doubt, but what we can do is say, i'm going to enact accordance with what i say i believe. and what i say, i believe that sometimes it's not perfect. my faith is not perfect. but i'm going to stand up and say, this is what i believe. this is what i'm going to do. we need to be practical in our personal lives and business, at work, et cetera. >> father jonathan morris, thank you for being here. >> pray for the families suffering the loss of their

this sunday morning. a $1.1 trillion spending bill is on the way to the president's desk. >> the congress passed it last night to avoid a government shut down at the last minute. we are live in washington with a look at how this all unfolded. good morning to you, mike. the final vote was 56-40 to pass a $1 trillion massive government funding bill. most of the government will be funded through september 30th. but texas senator ted cruz said it was unconstitutional because of a rise in some money for president obama's senate immigration plan. >> the house of representatives passed this legislation before us in its powers under article 1 of the united states constitution. this bill has thus originated in the house within the meaning of the origination clause, the constitution. >> they voted saturday when the senate began the process of

considering two dozen of president obama's nominees. then cruz's point of order was rejected 74 against and 22 in favor. a it have vote, cruz blasted harry reid. >> to be clear, it was not the republicans that blocked the amendment, it was harry reid. harry reid won't be the majority leader come january. and harry reid's behavior has been shut down. we have had a do nothing phase under harry reid. >> the republican-lead congress is going to go against the president's unilateral act on immigration. >> we have two months off before we worry about that. to other stories making headlines, a manhunt is underway for accused murderers who broke out of prison in alabama. more than 100 u.s. law enforcement officials are on the hunt for the three inmates who escaped the jail.

two of them accused of capital murder. the three inmates attacked the guard after one of them pretended to be sick. and then they took the guard's keys and cell phone. it's believed the inmates were picked up by a car and the tracker dogs had lost their trail. foul play now suspected in the disappearance of a wyoming grandmother. kristy richardson vanished in october with her purse and cell phone found inside her locked home. the war was in the garage. the police say they don't have enough evidence to prove a crime but are looking into the possibility that richardson was targeted by a former or current employee of the company she owns. and bah humbug. one school removes santa from their winter concert after a parent complaints. they say santa traditionally closes out the show. one parent writes, i don't think it's right and i know a lot of people agree with me. it seems like what is going on

in america, the squeaky wheel gets oil. it's a shame. what do you think about this? send us your e-mails and comments on facebook and twitter. also this morning, did you get a sneak peek at front row seat to the space spectacular? the annual geminid meteor shower lit up the sky with 120 meteors per hour. the event happens every december when earth collides into space debris leftover from the extinct comet. you still have a chance to wish upon the star tonight. that viewing area is shown on the map on your tv right now. you can do so any time before 11:30 tonight. and snap pictures of the meteor shower. e-mail them or post them on facebook. >> or if it gets other space junk like the chinese satellites. those will break up. >> or the sky lab from the '70s. are those still there, by the way? >> i think they will always be there, forever, right? >> until they descend into orbit or burn up. >> exactly. >> i'm going to arizona tonight

and will be up in the mountains where you have incredible sky. and it's a good chance to see them. >> you have that new camera, buddy. take some pictures. >> i don't have that yet. all right. we are going to be dealing with very warm temperatures across the central part of the country again today. it's been an incredibly warm week with warm storms on the sides of the country. this is what is left of the storm that is now finally moving out of here. we had the big storm across california that caused all the problems. but it brought beneficial rain. now we're watching that storm across parts of the central rockies and in across the central plains. today we'll see a little bit of severe weather. this is what happens with the future radar going through with storms popping from texas to oklahoma and kansas. snow on the backside of it. 6 inches near nebraska. then the next storm moves in near california. not as strong as the last one, but another one nevertheless to bring more rain, which we certainly need. temperaturewise, one more really nice day across the plains.

we'll start to see the cool down tomorrow. by tuesday, certainly cooler but these temperatures are a little closer to average. not freezing or up credibly cold by any times. we'll take those kinds of temperatures right now. >> not a lot of rain or snow right now on the eastern seaboard to explain why thousands of people were out protesting. >> they were totally peaceful, restraining protests. that's what you had out of "the new york times." watch this video out of one of the protests in the wake of the eric garner death and michael brown death. listen to the chants. >> yeah, we want dead cops is what they are saying. >> we want it now. >> it was not just one or two of them saying this. i was caught in the 25,000 protesters in new york city yesterday that snarled traffic, but it was largely peaceful for the most part. the things they were saying were, hands up, don't shoot. and i can't breathe. that's what i heard. but when you see the video coming to us, it's astounding to

think that that many people could share that threat or thought. >> you see it in the carrying of the banner. i'll put it up for a second. protesters holding a banner to say, real thugs wear flagged pins. there it is right now. wear flag pins. so it's offensive to display the american flag. but cops should be murdered. >> al sharpton says you're blowing this out of proportion. we are not anti-police at all. listen. >> we are not saying our police are bad. we are not saying osmosis is bad. we are not anti-police, but we are anti-brutality. and the federal government must have a threshhold to protect that. second, the justice department must have a division funded to deal with this. thirdly, we must have the power of special prosecutors, not the local prosecutors.

>> so does that square with you, you are not anti-police. you are calling to kill cops. >> i have no idea what he's talking about. if you take seriously what he said, you can't even understand it. it doesn't make sense. but the point remains the same. the problem here is a race problem. that's what al sharpton is saying. the problem is with racism. there's zero evidence for that. okay, let's have the debate. but sharpton and president obama have from the beginning made this a racial case. and it is unjustified. >> and colonel allen west was on the show earlier to say this issue has to deal with the black community. this issue is all wrong. take a listen. >> al sharpton is not talking about the real issues in the black community. and that's really what should be the discussion. michael brown is part of a black teenager group that has almost a 45% unemployment rate. they are not talking about the failure of the school system, the public school system in the black community.

they are not talking about the dessimation of the black family. they have to understand their own policies have created an almost 21st century plantation in the american cities. >> and an unbelievable story as we learn more on the sony hack. listen up, the north korean government is mind it all to get their hands on the video. >> apparently it is. >> underneath the new movie, they were calling sony to tell them, we are outraged about the movie. it's a seth rogan film to portray north korea in bad light. now other stars may have been involved in the attack with other e-mails revealed. leonardo dicaprio among them. in fact, amy pascal called him despicable after passing on the steve jobs film. >> and in the hacks e-mails, george clooney was begging for protection after the bad movie reviews of "the monomist men."

>> is it true he could be undone by a bad review? >> back in september he sent an e-mail saying, i know this is being hacked. i'm sure you're watching this. we are going to double source this. i'm sure everyone is reading this and went on to talk about something else. he was pretty aware that some people were publicly looking at his e-mail. >> little did he know, it was the north koreans. >> there's also an e-mail from seth rogan from amy pascal saying change your movie because north korea doesn't like it. and sony bows to the command of the north korean dictatorship. it turns out they are running sony, apparently. that's unbelievable to me! also, we also learned from some of the e-mails, some of the women actresses are paid far less in some of the movies, like jennifer garner. >> that can't be true because sony is not paying women less,

are they? aren't they for pay parody and all that? >> no, they are not. including the fact they made less than the men in that film. >> i don't believe it. they are all obama donors. they wouldn't pay less. >> speaking of obama donors, she called reverend al sharpton the day after this came out to apologize. >> not these e-mails but the ones talking about the president and how he only liked african-american comedians li. >> i have never apologized to al sharpton and i'm not going to. stick around, jeb bush could be running in 2016. we'll tell you what he says. would your kids eat this? they might if an ipod is on the

line. >> they put that in the shape of a smiley face.

hard it can be...how ...to breathe with copd? it can feel like this. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled... ...copd maintenance treatment... ...that helps open my airways for a full 24 hours. you know, spiriva helps me breathe easier. spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder does not replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops.

stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells,... you can get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. nothing can reverse copd. spiriva helps me breathe better. sfx: blowing sound. does breathing with copd... ...weigh you down? don't wait ask your doctor about spiriva handihaler.

overnight, a government shuts down and put to a stop. members of the senate voting 56-40 passing a $1.1 trillion spending bill. >> the bill is keeping the government running through next september and is on its way to the paresident's desk. what should we plan on happening next? >> does this mean there's nothing republicans can do anyway about the president's executive amnesty? >> i think that's exactly right. i think their feeling is, you know, better to try to deal with it in the majority of the house and senate starting next year.

this funding bill gives enough money for the entire government to run until next september, except for the department of homeland security which overseas immigration policy. and that's only funded until the end of february. so i think you're going to see in the first two months of the new congress with the new republican majority efforts to see if there are ways that they can undo the president's executive action. but it's going to be awfully difficult. you know, justice is going to be very hard. it's hard to defund a decision not to defer, not to deport people. there's not a lot of money spent on not deporting people. >> there are two narratives i found interesting out of this. one is ripped inside the democratic party with nancy pelosi calling members of party to vote for it. and you have members of the republican party saying speaker boehner squandered the midterm

election victories. what do you make of the two narratives? >> i think they are both exactly right. there are splits. we have known for some time, of course, and have reported it a lot about the split inside the republican party. we saw it in the senate where ted cruz and some of the tea party wings of the gop went against mitch mcconnell who left the senate on friday and thought they for done for the weekend. then ted cruise tried to go after the immigration executive order. and for us, this whole weekend session, manager connell had to come back embarrassed. so that continues. for the first time, we really saw a lot of the left wing of the democratic party defying the president. really led by liberal senator elizabeth warren in the senate who went after the provision in the spending bill, a rider attached to it to lack the financial regulations on wall street. and she got tremendous support

in the house up to the minority leader, including the democratic leader, nancy pelosi. what is so interesting is this bill passed the senate and the house as well on a bipartisan basis with both democrats and republicans who were standing up against sort of the wings that the more extreme it logical parts of their party. which raises the question, are we going to see more centrist establishment coalitions of democrats and republicans working against the far left and the far right of the parties? >> chris, also the cia interrogation report is a hot topic. you have guests on that today? >> we do. we'll be all over that, anna. first of all, we'll have a fascinating debate about the program. was it torture? was it effective? does this mislead the white house and congress? a debate between sheldon whitehouse, a senator from rhode island who was involved in the report, and carl rove in the

bush white house when all this went down. and i think a fascinating interview with jose rodriguez. he was the man who actually came up with the interrogation program in 2002 after they caught abu zabada. we'll talk to him and see if it was torture. they say they thought he was in the room during interrogation. we'll ask him what he said and whether he objects. >> chris, great to see you this morning. >> bye, guys. coming up from terrorists and mass killings taking the middle east over. it's pretty awful. just don't insult the terrorists. the new rules some soldiers have to follow. and do you love playing with the green army men toys from back in the day? now they will ruin your kids' lives. and that's not all. we'll talk about it, coming up. [ female announcer ] hands were made for talking.

feet...tiptoeing. better things than the pain, stiffness, and joint damage of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. before you and your rheumatologist decide on a biologic, ask if xeljanz is right for you. xeljanz (tofacitinib) is a small pill, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz can relieve ra symptoms, and help stop further joint damage. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers have happened in patients taking xeljanz. don't start xeljanz if you have any infection, unless ok with your doctor. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz and routinely check certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you have been to a region

where fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take. one pill, twice daily, xeljanz can reduce ra pain and help stop further joint damage, even without methotrexate. ask about xeljanz. even without methotrexate. why does it feel like all or nothing? if i wanted to lose weight would you expect me to lose 25 pounds overnight? ever hear of small steps? it may not sound like a big deal, but one less cigarette is a big deal. so i'm taking it one cigarette at a time. that's how zonnic helps me quit. with new zonnic nicotine gum, one less cigarette is one more victory. 3 great flavors. just $3.99 or less wherever cigarettes are sold.

so nice to see you this sunday morning. some quick headlines around the world. terrorists behead several people but the u.s. soldiers have to be nice to them? they can't shout at terrorists. the new rules make interrogations pointless. and a scare in the sky over sweden for the second time this year. a russian military jet just misses, slamming into a commercial airliner. the russian intelligence plane reportedly turned off transponders so it didn't show up on radar. tucker, over to you. >> thank you, anna. christmas is almost here but not

everyone is in the spirit. it turns out the p.c. cops want to use the holiday to propaganda your children. here are apalling examples. if you had to list the most politically correct toy this is holiday season, we have buckled our seat belts and are ready for it. >> cookies need to be politically correct as well. gingerbread men are sexist. there's a bakery in australia selling organic genderless gingerbread figures. if you look online, gingerbread sexist, a lot of things come up of actual adults using their adult time to get upset about a cookie. >> i bet genderless gingerbread people have no taste at all. >> yeah, they are cookies. they don't have a gender because they are cookies. >> so there's a new barbie. a new more realistic barbie with

acne, scars and tattoos. >> she's a more realistic doll in terms of her body. but the zits and molds come as a sticker past. and a lot of people are upset by that saying are you saying zits are optional and freckles? no, but not every little girl wants to put zits on her toys and that's fine. >> the internet is a scary place. green army men, the little made in taiwan things you get. >> one of the most normal christmas toys ever. apparently, they project the idea that men are supposed to be aggressive and violent. and there's actually people out there saying that they lead to domestic violence because of this. which is insulting to the military and insulting to the intelligence of any young man who might be interested in playing with them. >> so how is the military supposed to keep isis from coming to milwaukee? >> apparently there's no way possible because army men are too offensive.

>> that's unbelievable. now, genderless because gender itself is a construct, it's not real as you may have noticed, totally made up. not based in biology at all. just based in consumer culture. there are a lot of genderless books out there for kids. >> a whole series of genderless princesses who are also environmentalists. there's a new one, princess pentin who fights against the wars of fossil fuels. i don't think kids are talking about that on the playground. >> i wish kids wouldn't get this stuff, but i have a household of children's books and a lot of the books are this stuff in them pushing a creepy agenda on your kid. >> right. and people think kids are that influenced by a fairy princess. young girls say, i need to look like this or live in a castle. princesses are not realistic. nobody thinks fairy princesses

are a realistic career path as a child. >> richard scarry is a total hero in the world of children's books. >> we need more richard scarry. >> the national review, we are glad to have you here. thanks. next on the run down, he murdered john lennon for the name of it but now wants forgiveness. what mark and his wife want from yoko ohno all these years later. and jeb bush drops a big hint on what he may or may not do in the 2015 presidential race. we'll tell you what it is. stay tuned.

asked if my husband was staying with me. i said yes. then he went on to say my husband overstayed his welcome and needed to move off the property. so when i talked to him and was trying to understand it better, i was just saying, we're only here for a few more days and going home for christmas to my family in virginia. and he said he really didn't care, that he was going to stay only a few more days. and that he had just stayed too long and needed to move off the property. and i left it at that and went to talk to william and then william tried to call him and get a better understanding of what was going on. >> this is unbelievable. sergeant, you're home on leave to meet, to spend time with your newborn daughter. two weeks ago, he didn't give you any kind of leeway at all for staying in this apartment complex? >> no, he didn't. when i -- when we first originally sat down with him to

sign the lease, i did explain to him that with me being on or in the military, and when i do go on leave, it's not for a couple days at a time. it's upwards of two weeks at a time. and he said that was fine and that all we had to do was fill out the guest form, which we did. and we submitted it. and he approved it and didn't have any issue with it. and so we thought we were fine. and eight or nine days in, he calls my wife and starts telling her it's time to go and i've got to go. and that's when i went ahead and stepped up and called him. >> unbelievable. where is the common sense in all of this? unbelievable. we wanted to mention the apartment complex name. it's groves at clemson apartment complex. a lot of people were trying to find out where the apartment complex was. we know that the landlord's name is chuck. we reached out but have not

heard anything back from him right now. have you guys talked to a lawyer about this? it seems strange to me, and i don't know the law involved in this, but as the husband, wouldn't that sort of supercede the lease agreement? it's your wife's apartment! >> yes, in my opinion it does. now we did contact some legal assistance. and they are continuing to look into the issue. and what is going on. >> lily, you had to move out? >> we haven't moved out. we actually went to stay with a friend for a few days because he was saying my husband couldn't stay there any longer. so if that was going to be a problem, and i didn't want to have to worry about sitting in my apartment trying to study for exams with school and constantly worrying that someone was going to come and be like, your husband is still here, isn't he? so we called one of my friends who welcomed us into her house for a few days. so we hung out there so i could focus on my studies and get

through the end of the week to go home. >> well, keep us updated on this story. we'll let our viewers know if we hear from chuck, the landlord as congratulations on the newborn. we hope you have a merry christmas in light of this craziness. sergeant william bolt, nice to see you this morning. lily, nice to see you. >> thank you. still ahead, how does anna kooiman spend christmas? >> we go down to north carolina to her childhood home to find out. i hope she brought some of this home cooking with her. ♪ [coughing] dave, i'm sorry to interrupt... i gotta take a sick day tomorrow. dads don't take sick days, dads take nyquil. the nighttime, sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, fever, best sleep with a cold, medicine.

>> so how is it looking today? >> a lot better. the fact la had a tornado is remarkable. you don't see that in southern california often, northern california a little bit. an incredible storm we dealt with and it's causing problems across the central part of the country. rain and snow, this is the storm bringing snow across parts of colorado and starting to see a little rain towards texas later on today, that develops into more of a significant storm. then you'll notice right here the next storm beginning to move on shore, a little rain in northern california. this is a slower moving storm but not as potent. so we'll see rain across northern california today by tomorrow afternoon and tonight it will move through southern california, maybe another inch or so. northern california a series of storms will bring four to five inches. this is what this storm does now across the central plains. we'll see the snow develop across texas, across colorado and move in towards parts of nebraska and severe weather possible across areas of

there is controversy what was done and we need to put this information out there and let the people look at it and decide whether it was appropriate or not and i don't think it was appropriate. what was done in my name is a a bismal. >> when the obama administration spied on americans when the obama irs tried to crush political enemies, i wanted to know more. i don't remember feinstein with the spying scandal. where was she? she's on the side of african prison -- afghan prisoners. >> would you feel better if it was done by democrats and witnesses were interviewed?

>> absolutely. yeah, if we had a report everyone was holding up as the standard, we could say yes, this is full of facts, but it's being dismissed. a lot of people saying this is a bogus report because witnesses not interviewed, the ark a tech of the interrogation plan not interviewed for this report, so how can you put this out there as fact? >> what i care about is the u.s. citizens and that's what the congress should care about. we should make sure none of these techniques are ever used against american citizens, that's a real concern. i think we should make that clear first and foremost. second, what will strengthen americans? that will be the guiding principles in foreign policy and domestic and to see diane feinstein when the irs crushed conservatives that she's a civil lib libertarian, i can't stand to listen to that. >> this was said about the

release of the report, listen. >> it's a disaster from so many standpoints, it's hard to know where to begin but one place is what it means for the future. the cia is going to be demoralized and reverberate for years, maybe decades. i think the next president will be severely handicapped by going into office with the cia like the one we had back in the '90s. >> the cia is standing by everything they did and they said the interrogations, the tactics they used did lead to intelligence, which lead to the locating of osama bin laden. on the other hand, is that something you can gauge, hindsight 20/20? >> where was congress the last 13 years? is there a single person that didn't know the cia was using these techniques or ones like them to interrogate prisoners? everybody knew this. it was in the washington post like every week. for members of congress to say i'm shocked, that's the phoniest

thing i've heard. >> ba humbug, one school, this school is no longer allowed to have santa claus involved in the christmas concert series because one parent said that it wasn't in keeping and they thought it was outrageous to have santa involved in this whole process. one letter from a parent to the school's principal said i'm writing to inform you of a change in our concert series. this went to the first through fourth grade concert, as well as our kindergarten concert will not include a visit from santa claus this year. >> anyone who says there isn't a war on christmas is wrong, and this proves it. it's not just nativity scenes getting the boot, santa claus is. parents are outraged, one of them wrote to say i don't think it's right and i know a lot of people agree with me. it seems like that's what is going on in america, the squeaky wheel gets oil. it's a shame. >> when did we give so much

power to mall content? the people with the unhappiest childhood have the most power, 50-year-old people still mad at their parents get to run everything. why is that? everybody say you know what, everybody in the class likes santa claus, even the jewish family loves it. you in the back are complaining, be quiet or don't come. >> how is santa offensive? he's a cute cuddly guy. >> please. >> he makes toys most of the year. >> he has a list of naughty kids and nice kids and makes kids want to behave. >> he eats cookies. >> santa is not in the new testament or a religious figure. i know people that don't celebrate christmas that aren't offended by santa. you have to kill santa? it's insane. >> robert wrote us this morning and said our nation was founded on the principles of tolerance, why can't this nation show a degree of tolerance? nobody is injured or bullied. we have to stop it. >> nancy on facebook, it's amazing the school vowed to one

complaint. the remaining parents should ban together and come to school dresed as santa. he's not offensive but a symbol of giving and kindness to all children. >> i agree with the viewers, i really do. thank you for being such great viewers. >> and thanks for having common sense. >> and they love you. that's why they will stay tuned until 9:50 to see you go home for the holidays. >> make sure you don't insult them. listen this, we have rules to tell you about that some soldier haves to follow. >> and ted cruz forcing a vote on the both's executive amnesty plan overnight but it was dead on arrival in the senate. is the fight over? congressman mike kelly joins us live next. there he s welcome. is welcome. dad, i know i haven't said this often enough, but thank you.

tonight, both democrats and republicans will have the opportunity to show america whether they stand with the millions of americans that want a safe and legal emigration system. >> that was senator ted cruz of texas on the floor of the senate last night trying to rally opposition to the spending bill. in the end, his efforts were unsuccessful and colleagues passed the bill. cruz and mike lee of utah were against it and wanted to defund the president's executive action on immigration. so what is the future of the order and does the constitution enter into this? here to weigh in, mike kelly. there are all kinds of stories about this this morning but hard to tell what this ad is up to. wondering about the president's executive amnesty, what does

this mean? >> we spepresented a piece that helps get into the next session. when we can work with on a more open basis. while this is great concern, look what the president did. i don't have an argument with that. he does have a great over reach now. when we get into the next session, we have a different group to work with, by february we'll be able to address things. it's only funded to the middle of february. this is not a done deal. this is not over. this is not republicans walking away from a critical issue, however, we know where we are now. we're still minority and won't be that way after january 6th puts together a new day. we'll have to govern and speaker boehner is clear about this. these are not republican issues or democrat issues, these are american issues. if we have to govern, we have to govern for americans first. >> so the president giving amnesty for illegal immigrants. do you think there is something republicans can do about it? can they stop this in february?

>> we want to follow the rule of law. that's who we are as a people and party. i think the message right now is to do things that are thoughtful, do things that make sense in the long run. do short-term things that create surprise and oh, yeah, that's the way we want to be but if we haven't fixed it, that's the problem. there are options. we'll go through them. after the first of the year we'll layout a plan that makes sense and gets the economy up and rising and people to have faith and know they will govern in washington. they won't bump heads all the time. >> so you think there is in fact a legal way to undo the president's executive order? >> absolutely there are several different margins to it. there are a lot of lawsuits. they have better standing than the federal government. we can join in with them and do a lot of different things now, not right now but when we have the senate than we can do right now. i think getting through this time period, getting beyond this period where people think why are they going to shut down the government again? keep in mind, whenever that

happened before and the government shut down. we were terrible. we were people hurting people and our friends said we're just being defensive on this one and i think lately it's very offensive at the country. >> "the new york times", the front page story this morning congratulating elizabeth warren for trying to shut down the government. >> merry christmas. >> merry christmas to you. thanks a lot. coming up, they spend years and a fortune to become citizens legally and now the president is using the fees they paid to fund his amnesty program for illegals. how unfair is that? you may be destroying your marriage and not know it. to fix it, it's very simple, you put your husband first. whoa, revolutionary new advice from someone whose thought about it. stay tuned. 3rd and 3.

transponders. there you go. anna? all right. in the movies, this wife can do it all. >> spend more time with richard. >> you must be completely tired? >> not completely. number four, the kids. >> i don't know how she does it. >> huh? our next guest says nobody can actually do that. failing to focus on your spouse first, instead.r marriage. caitlyn carmen wrote five ways you're unknowingly destroying your marriage. thanks for joining us this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> so i want to go through the list because it's so interesting and this may resonate with people being pretty honest, the first is, not putting your husband first. what does that mean?

>> so that's an interesting concept, and a lot of people think that that's counter intuitive to what it is. on our site, our goal for family share.com is to give advice about things to do to improve their lives and marriages. two of our authors talk a lot about this on our site. the concept that is if you put yourself first, that they in turn will put you first, as well, and your children will see that and they will see that marriage is important to you, and that that will help them feel love and security, as well. if you put yourself first, they will put you first and that's a way to strengthen your marriage. >> what about living outside of our means. you say having expensive taste can be a real problem. because we can't have our bags, the men can have expensive tvs? >> it's interesting. financial problems are a leading cause of divorce. as couples, i feel like it's

really important to set budgets and stick to them. if you're buying things you don't need that are lavish and expensive and getting you into debt, that brings a lot of stress to your marriage that you just don't need. living within your means and working together as a couple to spend your money wisely is one of the best things that you can do to get rid of that unnecessary stress or debt that can really affect a marriage. >> okay. so also you say women shouldn't be grumpy, when they don't speak up, holding physical affection, that can destroy your marriage. >> physical affection and intimacy is a huge part of your marriage and i think a lot of times people forget to hold hands or kiss and snuggle. those are important that couples need to do often to bond together. >> so a lot of feminists have attacked you online. what's your response to their criticisms?

>> so, you know, on family share.com we provide a lot of different advice for people and found thousands and millions of people have come to our site because they want solutions for their families and marriage and not everybody agrees with everything that we say. and that's fine because everybody has their own personal problems and things that they are working through, but i would say that, you know, we always need to be looking for truth and need to be looking for what can help us in our marriage and lives because marriage is so important and it's a fundamental part of our society. >> caitlyn carmen, thanks for joining us this morning. check out the website. do you agree with that? do you think you should put your husband first in a relationship? let's put that up on facebook this morning. let's put it up there and see how many votes we get. >> i'm for it. >> i like them all, i think it should go both ways. >> of course. >> a soldier home for the holidays booted out. the american hero wore out his

welcome. we have talked to the soldier, what he said next. >> take notes, this is why you should stick to a traditional marriage proposal. how does a girl respond when the proposal involves a crane crashing into her home? you might not believe the result. introducing the new philips norelco shaver series 9000 with contour detect technology that flexes in 8 directions for the perfect shave at any angle. go to philips.com/new to save up to $40. innovation and you. philips norelco.

that's the way i look at life. looking for something better. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better.

my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. 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.

give me that. i need it, too. >> no. >> take a look. >> no. >> come here, if you don't stop screaming, here is what i'm going to do with you. if you've been there, annoying kids or screaming newborns on a flight when you try to sleep, make it to a business engagement. >> some of us have been perpetrators of that with our own kids. some parents making that experience a little more tolerable. before taking off they handed out these bags with candy and ear plugs. >> it was a preemptive apology and probably warranted and a note for the baby apologizing for what might happen on her very first flight. >> how could you be upset? >> besides hanging out liquor

and tranquilizers, all you can do is pretend it's not happening, i've done it. >> i like the preemptive apology, too. let's start the conversation, good morning, anna, i'm sorry, i'm sorry. >> for whatever i'm going to do during this four-hour show. >> other stories to tell you about. a terrifying trip for passengers on a southwest arliirlines flig. a bird hits and the 7 37 had 150 passengers on board. the plane made an emergency landing and taken out of service to be inspected. nobody was hurt. adding insult to injury, president obama's executive action to protect millions of illegals from getting deported will be paid for my immigrants that came to america and earned citizen ship legally. the plan will pull money from the u.s. citizen ship and immigration services, which is largely funded by application and filing fees during the

lengthy naturalization process. a soldier returning hope for the holidays is kicked out of his wife's apartment, his wife's apartment after the landlord said he wore out his welcome. his name is not on the lease and the landlord says visitors can only stay for seven days. on "fox and friends" sergeant bolt said he did nothing wrong. >> when we first originally sat down with him to sign the lease, i did explain to him that with me being on -- being in the military and when i do go on leave, it's not for a couple days at a time, it's upwards to about two weeks at a time and he said that was fine. >> that landlord threatened to double the rent if sergeant bolt stayed. he and his wife and their two-week-old daughter have to move out. we reached out to the landlord for comment, that landlord has not returned our calls. >> we had a lot of viewers weighing in se if you signed the lease? >> what?

>> siding with the landlord? >> yeah. >> chuck, the dreaded chuck. >> the landlord. >> one more story, this girl really loves her guy because she said yes after this proposal. and her name is not miley cyrus. the man thought it would be a good idea to propose by appearing from her window hanging by a crane. it was never secured and toppled over and got worse when another crane tried to lift it damaging a neighbor's home, too. nobody was hurt and the engaged couple is now celebrating in paris. >> nothing says i love you like destroying an apartment building. that's why godzilla was so huge in the monster community. >> what did those diamonds look like? >> okay. >> oh, rick. >> my turn? >> yeah. >> hey, temperatures today

across parts of the central plains, another warm one. here across the northeast, a cool day, better than it was yesterday, but we'll see quite a bit of sunshine along the coast more cloudiness. down to the southeast we're looking at another nice day, as well, except the southern plains, parts of texas and oklahoma are looking at severe weather, watch that area. in across areas of the northern plains, a mild day temperature-wise but that's about to change as the system moves in and will bring snow across parts of colorado and one clear day across california before the next storm moves on in. >> all right. we're doing made in america gifts today. why give someone just one christmas gift when you can give them a gift that keeps giving every month? >> subscription packages are a huge trend now and the ones we have today are all made in america, so you're supporting small businesses and american businesses. we have the ceo here.

this is a great idea. a lot of people want to give a gift that maybe can last all year long but you curated about a thousand different possibilities that people can go to your website. >> i give you a subscription box and get it every month for however long. i give you the gift now and you will be surprised in march. >> quite the wide array of products that you can do with this. the first one is taking care of beards, so i'm sure you're popular in the brooklyn community down here. >> urban beardsmen, this is eric and lindsey of spokane, washington started beard brand. they send you beard oil, which rick, you probably don't need, but maybe later and mustache wax. >> the old school curly qs. >> this is an austin bat box. if you go to the unique area, a lot of local taste makers.

delicious smelling soap. >> nice. >> hazel lane delivers the gift of a new city every month. explain that. >> that's right. it's sam and ash. they wanted to give the gift of the cities they went to. this month is nashville. that's beautiful. >> crate joy. >> crate joy. >> wonderful gift ideas. >> here is what is coming up. earlier we showed you my traditions and now we're going home with tucker carlson. the one trick he pulls on his kids every year. >> and gas prices are the lowest they have been in years but why now and will it last? the answers coming up next.

crude oils priced dramatically to $58 a barrel, the lowest since 2009. >> that's a good sign for the economy, so what's the reason behind the drop? >> let's ask the person who knows, maria, good to see you. >> it's partly supply but also demand. so the demand story is certainly weakening. you've got, you know, china slowing from at the peak 11% growth down to 5.5% next year and india slowing, the whole world is slowing, the u.s. is just gaining growth. on the demand side, you're seeing lower demand. that's right, copper is down, iron is down. all commodities are down because china is buying less and a huge supply story that is so excites because the u.s. is really seeing a revolution in energy now. so the supply side of the story just got simply enough oil in the world. >> but wait, wait, the president who is a noted petroleum engineer, as you know, said you

can't drill your way out of this. are you saying we've drilled part of our way out of this? >> that's exactly what i'm saying. you have the shale revolution going on right now and ultimately, the u.s. will become an energy exporter. the ban on crude oil will likely be lifted in the coming years. you got fracking happening and you can't stop this machine anymore soft because of thanks the u.s. is going to become an energy exporter and yes, i believe you can drill it. >> how long will it take before we see airline prices come down -- >> never. >> listen, i think you'll see backlash if the airlines don't start cutting prices. it only takes one to start cutting prices and the rest of them need to get competitive and do the same thing. i think given the fact that oil prices are down 30% many, this is a boom for the airline industry. they are shave to start cutting prices. >> charging me $7 for a bag of nuts on the flight. who is coming up on your big show that starts in about 14

minutes? >> we have general anthony zenny on taking about the happenings, the draw down there. not talking about this enough, former leader talking about what is happening in afghanistan and iraq and isis and the fight against isis and the signature issues of 2015, the budget passed this week and spending priorities. we had good jobs numbers out. we got oil prices lower. real positives going on for the economy and we'll see if that is actually going to impact our lives in terms of wages at some point. >> keep your channel here because your show is on fox news channel in about 12 minutes now. that's what i watch when i get up to my office after our show. >> during the week on fox business. >> that's true. >> you can find out where at fox business. zinni such an impressive guy. why don't you work seven days a week? >> one day off. >> thank you. heading home for christmas

and i quit smoking with chantix. people who know me, they say 'i never thought you would quit.' but chantix helped me do it. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it gave me the power to overcome the urge to smoke. some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. some people had seizures while taking chantix. if you have any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. tell your doctor about any history of mental health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix or history of seizures. don' take chantix if you've had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. if you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some can be life-threatening. tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke.

decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. i'm a non-smoker, that feels amazing. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. ♪ ♪ merry christmas happy holidays ♪ ♪ merry christmas, merry christmas ♪ >> did 'nsync really do a christmas album? >> yeah. >> i requested this album. >> my jaw was open, oh, my gosh. >> is that your favorite christmas song? >> that or "o come all ye faithful." >> so we told you about a santa claus booted from the elementary school.
