hi, everyone. good morning. it's saturday, the 17th of january, 2015. i'm anna kooiman and a fox news alert. pope francis rushed to his plane, leaving a typhoon devastated city as the area braces for a new storm. it's brewing as millions get ready for his historic mass. and secretary of state john kerry brings a friend as he finally arrives in france. ♪ ♪ all you've got to do is call and i will be there ♪ >> make you proud to be an american? we have air sickness bags for you later in the show.

so weird. it's probably something you never thought you'd catch on a police dash cam. usually we show you brutal stuff, but watch this. ♪ ♪ shake it off, shake it off >> a hardened police officer who loves taylor swift as much as your teenage daughter does. "fox & friends" begins right now. >> hi, this is kristi yamaguchi, you're watching "fox & friends" the best show on ice. ♪ >> nobody knows the whole song. >> whoever leaked that to us -- >> thank you. >> well, good morning. i want to get to that fox news alert. overnight, pope francis lands in the philippines, cutting his trip to the typhoon city short. the winds are already so short they knocked the pope's hat right off his head. >> the pontiff did get a chance to meet with survivors of the

2013 typhoon that left thousands dead and he apologized to worshipers for having to leave early. >> we have new video showing a private plane carrying filipino officials nose down in the grass after overshooting the runway. this happens just minutes after the pope took off in another airplane. witnesses reported hearing a tire blow out. no one was hurt. and they're bracing for the typhoon that could hit tomorrow when 6 million people are expected to attend the pope's historic mass there. janice dean is tracking the storm for us. what's going on? >> yeah, tucker, it is equivalent to a category 1 hurricane, 80 mile per hour sustained winds as it's making landfall across the philippines. you can see we'll see heavy rain, strong winds with this. and of course some storm surge. as we go into sunday the pope is now in manila. heavy rain in the forecast along with those very gusty winds. it's going to be a trying day of course for all of the folks who have been recovering for many

typhoons. this is one of the most active areas on the planets for typhoons and the forecast precipitation, several inches of rain north of tacloban. as it makes landfall, as an equivalent category 1 hurricane. we will see a warm-up for parts of the plains states and the northeast and we are tracking a coastal storm that's going to move in on sunday. in fact, all of the big cities heading into sunday and monday. of course we'll watch it all, lots to talk about from the fox news extreme weather center. back to you. >> thank you janice. boy, a million people gathered with this storm rolling in. >> yeah, i wonder if it will delay -- >> a lot to see out there. other stories making headlines this hour. the man connected with the

massacre at a pakistani military school waking up behind bars. 150 people were killed in the december attack, most children. the taliban claimed responsibility. president obama and british prime minister david cameron holding a joint press conference at the white house to address terrorism. but their tone couldn't be more different. >> we do face a very serious islamist extremist terrorist threat across the world and we have to be incredibly vigilant in terms of that threat. >> we're also going to keep working together on strategies to counter violent extremism that radicalizes recruits and mobilizes people especially young people to engage in terrorism. >> the two leaders both vowing to fight what they called quote sickening terrorism. and inspired by isis, he plotted to attack the u.s. capitol with bombs but he was busted. now christopher cornell will remain behind bars.

a judge denied the 20-year-old ohio man bail. this as his father continues to defend him saying he was set up by a snitch and could have never carried out the attack by himself. a hero is waking up in a home, hundreds of officers applauding andrew dawsy. he and his partner were off duty when they responded to a robbery car in a deli. both were shot as that gunman fled. the other officer got out of the hospital last week. police have since arrested the shooting suspect those your headlines. all right, last week at the beginning of this week on sunday, we sat here on this couch and showed you why video of leaders from around the world, david cameron from england, angel merkel, leaders of israel, they're all gathering in paris and we asked where the

united states presence? it wasn't visible. >> there was outrage across french newspapers slamming the united states for not having a presence there. and where's the secretary of state, and instead we sent eric holder who wasn't among the folks in the front of this row. finally, secretary of state john kerry has gone to france and this sounds like -- it sounds like i'm making this up. it sounds like a "saturday night live" sketch. so in order to -- i don't know, bridge the gap, mend some fences, secretary of state john kerry decided to bring singer/songwriter james taylor with him to sing a song "you've got a friend" on stage. watch this uncomfortable moment. ♪ ♪ winter, spring, summer or fall all you got to do is call ♪ ♪ and i will be there, yes, i'll be there ♪ ♪ you've got a friend >> well, at least the intention

was there after 3.7 million people estimated to have marched across france and finally, five or six days later we have secretary of state john kerry coming and bringing james taylor. should he have sang rockabye sweet baby james -- but just watching the body language -- >> carole king was busy. john kerry said, quote, i'm a steamroller for you a burning, churning -- a napalm bomb for you. the reason he's hunched over, they didn't have his microphone mic'd properly. he's standing there with a microphone over his head because they didn't have it mic'd properly so he's hunched over to get his voice and his guitar mic. >> this was your country represented abroad. this is by the administration that was going to make the rest of the world respect us.

remember how no one liked bush and he was so divisive, this is obama going to fix it all. rush limbaugh crystallized it. >> john kerry, i'm literally embarrassed. he actually dragged james taylor and had -- and kerry spoke french again, which is embarrassing again in itself. and then james taylor sang "you've got a friend." my -- i'm embarrassed to be an american today. oh, my, what a bunch of wasusses, what a bunch of mush and squishy and islamists all over the world cannot believe the good luck they have been handed. >> wow. let us know your thoughts on this.

was james taylor the right way to extend an olive branch? >> and if john kerry is in the middle of a midlife crisis should he display it to the rest of the world? we have news out of duke university, in durham, north carolina. you recall we told you earlier in the week their plans to broadcast the muslim call of prayer right over the quad would have broadcast islamic prayers over the duke campus. now, the school has said under pressure from donors apparently we're not doing it. >> yeah. >> and also citing security issues. they had a lot of comments and i don't know. they said that there were some issues with security that they were concerned about. >> look, it's come down to money. tucker mentioned the doneors. you have members of the trustees from the wall street who are not happy about it. so when you have alumni calling and saying what are you doing, you're going to start to do this, duke's position all along has been inclusiveness. this is a show of tolerance

right now in the wake of what happened in france. we wanted to include muslim members of our student -- student body and our faculty and show inclusiveness here. >> there's a total crock. there's nothing inclusive about duke. notice they're not giving equal time to say evangelical pro-life messages. if you got into the middle of the duke quad and read sections of the bible that criticized homosexuality, you'd be dragged away by school security. they're making a political statement about how they're on the side of muslims. >> we recently reported just yesterday they recently cancelled a pro-life event at duke to your point there. >> so if they're inclusive, why not include everybody? >> who is at the heart of this? who is behind this at the islamic study center at duke and was pushing for this call to prayer? this was dr. safi and he said after the news that duke had pulled the plug on this, he's saddened that external threats detracts us from celebrating

muslims and christians living together honoring each other. >> who's missing from that? you notice? >> jews. >> yeah there are no jewish students at duke? oh, yeah, they are. >> a significant population there. >> we did this story at the daily caller about a woman from ohio who said i disagree with this decision, she got called by the cops. i don't buy the external threat thing. i think this is another way to pretend they're being persecuted. i think donors didn't like it. but show me the evidence they were facing violent threats. meanwhile, on the show, terror among us. islamic extremists living and recruiting right on american soil. are they living next to you? he attempted to rob a convenience store but he got away with nothing. what's with the thumbs up? the epic fail you have got to hear to believe. ♪

hi good morning. quarter past the hour. his dad calls him a quote mama's boy, but the feds say he is a traitor and a terrorism. 20-year-old christopher lee cornell, armed and ready to attack our nation's capitol for isis was busted this week, but he isn't alone. the clarion project has identified several major islamic extremist groups and all of them are functions right here in our own backyard. joining us now with more is national security analyst for the clarion project ryan morrow. thank you for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> when we hear this is, you know, just miles away from urban areas, our hearts just drop to our chest. tell us about the first one in hancock, new york. >> that's where the headquarters of muslims of the americas is. they are led by a radical cleric

in pakistan named sheik julani ferociously anti-semitic. we have tape of guerrilla warfare train going on. and it was for guerrilla warfare training and for indoctrination. >> how did the clarion project obtain this video? >> that was through a law enforcement source. >> it's been validated? >> they don't contest the credibility of it. >> how is it still functioning then? >> because they're not listed as a foreign terrorist organization. mostly american citizens converts, sometimes through the prison system. and so they're able to operate here. even though we have the classified fbi documents saying that the fbi does view them as a threat. >> what about in falls church, virginia? >> there's a popular mosque there which has a history of extremist leadership including anwr al anwar al what i can. and we know that the current

imam has preached jihad. >> and anwar al alwaki being credited for training one of the brothers in the attacks in paris. >> and experts couldn't tell what he was saying, it was more subtle that's what they do. they pretend to be moderate. >> right here not far from where we're sitting in brooklyn, new york, what are we looking at? >> a mosque run by one of the most radical clerics in the country. we have countless quotes of him saying america needs to be turned into a caliphate. he is pretending on the moderate. there's a lecture out there's video of that he says that the problem we run into is we talk about shari'ah, when we're not there yet. that's not moderate. he is ferociously anti-american. >> it seems like there's several

in new york. one in brooklyn and also one in jamaica queens. >> right. they put on some of the largest islamic conferences across the country. that's linked to a pakistani islamist group. they preach that muslims should engage in deception in order to enhance the jihadist cause. only 2% of muslim americans say this group represents them and by the way a dozen muslim organizations say that first group i mentioned, muslim of the americas, should be branded as a foreign terrorist organization. lots of allies in this. >> is there significance that flee of the four you mentioned so far are in new york state? >> well, it's just because there's a population there they can recruit from. but they're all across the u.s. >> okay. also in washington, d.c. and our nation's capital. >> right. well, there are several there. i'm trying to remember which one we were -- >> council on islamic nations is one? >> that's right. that's a group that basically flies to advance the islamist -- tries to advance the islamist

cause in the media. we know that because law enforcement wiretapped them, where they were talking about using deception to advance their cause in the media. this is the group that's always out there yelling islamaphobia whenever anyone criticizes them but the justice department said they're a branch of the u.s. muslim brotherhood. >> what do we do about this? >> the muslims that do stand up to the groups they're called islam mow folk islam islam afolks even though they're islams themselves. >> so they need to speak out about their own religion. thank you so much. startling report, isn't it? 19 after the hour. as we just heard about islamic extremism in america, a new warning from the head of homeland security about visa waiver, how they're helping terrorists overseas. and parents are fighting four their kids' right to have recess. meet two of them next. ♪

we have some quick headlines from the nation's capitol. so much that deal with cuba, the u.s. just negotiated the release of 53 political prisoners but two have already been re-arrested. their crime? attempting to attend a prodemocracy meeting. critics say it makes a mockery of president obama's efforts. and a top obamacare official is calling it quits. marilyn tabner recently came under fire for exaggerating obamacare sign-up numbers. and jeh johnson is warning

that friendly thanks can travel here and extremists could come here and carry out attacks. thank you. a group of parents in orange county, florida, are fighting to bring back daily recess to schools. some schools have it a couple of times a week. but parents say that is not enough. you need it daily. joining now are the parents behind the decision called recess for all. orange county public elementary school students angela browning and amy narvez. nice to see you. >> thank you for having us. >> amy, why bring this back now? >> well, i have two children. i have two daughters. one in kindergarten and one in second grade and across the nation we have seen a trend that recess is decreasing. last year my children had 60 minutes a week and this year they had 20 minutes a week. i have a 5-year-old, so i wasn't okay with that.

i just decided it was time to stop complaining to my friends and start being an advocate for my child. >> this was happening before no child left behind in chicago, but it was really the law that killed recess. some people said it's waste of time we need kids focusing on science and math and they need to get those scores up. what do you say to those people who say it's a waste of time? >> i say read the research. as we met with our school board members we have presented them with binders full of research. there are a number of organizations who have researched recess, not the least of which is the american academy of pediatrics. these organizations find it to be critical to the social, emotional, physical and academic well-being of our children. when kids get a break in the day, a short break to run and play and be kids and decompress from the rigor and the curriculum of the classroom, academics improve. and the remaining instructional time, the statistics show become more valuable, not less.

>> it's hard for me to be devil's advocate on this because i'm totally on your side. i totally agree with you, but there are some critics who say, look, p.e., we have the physical education classes that's got to be enough, right? they're out there playing dodge ball. they have a teacher supervising them. what's the difference between recess and p.e.? >> again if you read the research, p.e. is not recess. p.e. is still a time where they're led by teachers. there's an end of the course exam for p.e. in our county. they are being told to sit still and listen. they have to pay attention. it's not that time to have free play, to be creative to be social, to run, to play, and to just get the wiggles out and be kids. >> an yes what what's -- angela, what's the next battle front for you guys? >> well we are not giving up. we are going to keep the heat on the district, keep meeting with district employees. we have a request out right now to meet with the master scheduler for orange county public schools. we are going to keep meeting

with our school board members, hoping that we can open their hearts and minds to you know, put the well-being of our children at the forefront of their decision. and we are talking with senators and state representatives to see if we can get any support for florida to be the 14th state in the country that would mandate a break in the day for children. >> fantastic. angela and amy, great to see you this morning, keep putting up this fight. keep us updated? >> we will. >> thanks. coming up here on the show do you remember the left wing activist group acorn? well, bill de blasio does. turns out he used to work for them and new york city's mayor his past now revealed. plus it's probably something you never thought you'd catch on a police dash cam. watch this. ♪ ♪ hate hate hate, i'm sick sick sick sick ♪ ♪ shake it off, shake it off >> oh, like anna driving. the police officer who loves taylor swift as much as your teenager. ♪

he was a real human being and there's a huge responsibility. >> bradley cooper stars as the sniper. but this movie is about so much more than war. it is about love and strength. >> and the thing we try to focus on with this movie is the relationship between the two. how it's not only service men and women going through this pretty trying dilemma of having to jostle between the two worlds. >> sienna miller plays tea. she said the role was an intimidating one. >> when you're imagining what it's like to be a woman who is trying to raise two children and the kind of empathy you feel for the people who are keeping the home together at home it's enormous, it's easy to get the emotion. >> both say they tia's openness helped them to evolve. >> we were lucky that chris' wife gave us his e-mail and it

always. announcer: protect what matters. get flood insurance. do you think the flu shot will protect you this? a new report by the centers for disease control says the season's vaccination is only 23% effective. is it even worth still getting? to weigh in is the a-team dr. siegel. good morning. >> yes it is still worth getting. >> even though it's at 23%? >> the came from switzerland and as the season goes on some of the

strains that are covered by the flu shot are going to emerge more. by the end of the year it will be 40%. dr. siegel predicts. but the 40% means by the way if you got the flu, you wouldn't need to be hospitalized. you wouldn't need to go running to a doctor. it's about severity of the flu. and there's very little downside, clayton, to taking the shot. so i say take it. unfortunately, it's not giving you the impact that we want this year. and that's a big, big news story. >> why isn't there a flu shot for the swiss strain? >> because they didn't predict it, they didn't predict this particular strain was going to be the prevailing strain. it's about 90% of the flu is this strain that's not covered in the shot. it is going to get a little better as the season goes on. because it's a bad flu season we really wish we had a shot that matched and right now in the works is a shot that's going to cover all strains of flu. in about three to five years it will be out. that will change the game. we need that. >> let's talk about weight gains. it goes back and forth between us and mexico as the fattest country in the world. we try all the gadgets, belts around things. there was a thing called belty,

a belt that would expand as you ate too much food. >> you love the high-tech. >> i do. and now the fda has approved a weight pacemaker that's surgically implanted and it will shock you if you eat too much? >> it's called maestro and what it does the vagus nerve says feed me, feed me, this thing blocks that nerve so your brain doesn't get signalled to feed you. you would think this would be a home run. i'm looking at the results, it's only the study shows an 8.5% improvement over a placebo. that's not a home run. even though it's done through a scope, i think the band surgery, like the rubber band surgery, lap band surgery, is better than that. so i don't -- i mean, look, you have to exercise, change your diet. you have to use the conservative measures first before you even consider a surgical procedure. this i don't think is going to replace lap band surgery. >> it doesn't work for

criminals. put it out there like that guy did. let's talk about "american sniper." the bradley cooper movie. it opened nationwide last night to a huge crowd. it's about this american hero obviously. but our american heroes themselves need to hear about it. let's talk a listen to some guests we had on sean hannity's show last night. take a listen. >> i think the important thing for people to realize and recognize is it captured the totality of war, not just life on the battlefield for our troops. for the most part our journey truly begins when we start coming home. and i think "american sniper" captures that. >> wayne kile, chris kile's father has not done a lot of press appearances about this. but he did speak to sean hannity last night. y he said look, you have to remember. this is a volunteer service that

my son went through. this is why he's so special. he choose to do this and defend his country. listen to wayne kyle. >> he volunteered. that's one thing about our maul tear today. it's all voluntary. he volunteered. he wanted to do this. and i knew he was doing something that he loved to do. >> yeah. >> and he would put his fellow warriors, you know ahead of everything else and save their lives and not worry about the lives that he had to take. >> this is just out. it looks like it's going to be the biggest movie in america this week. have you seen it? what do you think of it? tell us what you think. >> six oscar nominations bay the way. six of them bradley cooper's remarkable in it according to critics and people who have already seen the movie. i can't wait to get a chance to see it. >> it's supposed to bring in $75

half kiss with the president. it's one of these things it's stip call once you're behind the curve in anything in life, especially in politics, it's hard to catch up. they're joust embarrassing themselves here obviously. >> this is ridiculous. they even even have the proper microphone set up. they only had one mike phone. so a stage hand had to walk up and stick a microphone in his face. >> we didn't have decent advanced work for this highly embarrassing diplomatic incident. >> i'm surprised james taylor agreed to do this. john kerry looking at the audience, doesn't this help us mend some fences. >> let's go back to a weeking a when we had all of these leaders walking down the streets of paris obviously notably missing was the united states missing there. sure you had attorney general eric holder maybe three rows back.

but it looked odd. is this the way to mend the fences? >> they just completely missed it. you wonder why we have an embassy in france if all of the other countries are aware of the event and the need to send high officials and the united states completely missed it. part of it the war on terror is not top of mind for the obama administration. they've done important thing but it's not president obama's first priority. he didn't imagine or hope that six years into his presidency terrorism would still be such a top concern for people. he really wanted to say this thing is over, we can relax now, we'll get out of iraq we'll get out of afghanistan, al qaeda is on the end and let's talk about free community college. >> part of me is torn. on the one hand i get that it's odd because you don't have the vice president there. but on the other hand i said,

you know what? i don't get this, well we need america here for the photo op. we've called upon the rest of the world to join us in a coalition to go after these terrorists and very often none of them join us. and yet now they're asking us to show up for a photo op. where are these leaders when we're going after isis. they're sitting back on their hands while we deal with it. >> this is part of the unfairness of being the lone super pow near the free world. you have to be there all of the time. our relationship with france can be cox flex, highly frustrating. but they're an important western ally. i think they've had sort of a diseased political culture since 1979. but that's another question. and this was an attack not just on the west but an attack on a core western values of free

speech. so we should have been there with bell on and showing up a week late with a folk singer doesn't make up are it. >> my favorite video of the morning. thanks, rich. appreciate it >> you've got a friend. >> if james tayelor were here i'd believe you. coming up on the show, they say it's a rally for promoting piece. why is this man the keynote speaker? then it's an ad that will leave you speechless. >> we train dog to guide people with the trauma out of a nightmare. >> service dogs helps our heroes transition after leaving the battlefield. here to tell us how important it

the obama administration is trying to modernize the state of the union address by reveaealing many of the president's plans before the speech instead of squoezing them into one hour of tv. if he wanted to be modern he would release the next three years of the state of the union address on netflix right now. go for it. watch it like house of cards. >> it would be nice to get it out of the way. well anna is outside getting ready to learn how to skate minutes from now. look at that. so that's not real ice. how is that possible? >> i don't know. i think we're about to find out. do you need a zamboni for that? janice is just in regular shoes

it will be mainly a rain event. interior sections could get a little snow but mind it the cool air will move if. keeping an eye on thatnot dealing with a lot of snow. again it's going to be mainly a rain event. and you know that's too bad. i think a lot of people this time of year would like a little bit of snow. especially for ice skating. ana? >> well they call it the toughness competition on ice combining the skills of football, downhill skiing and even nascar. here to give us a preview were team usa skater adam green. you've been an olympic athlete since 2010. how do you think i'm going to stack up. >> i don't know. looks like you bring some good skills. >> tell us about the red bug crash ice. >> it's been a fun sport to compete in.

firebug. fest test. test test. test test. test test. 2e69 test test test test test testest

welcome back. some quick headlines for you. despite what online hackers say there is no world war iii happening. did you get the memo? the new york post and upi's twitter accounts were briefly hacked saying that a chinese warship fired on another vessel. in washington state, in another story, pot growers learning about supply and demand the hard way. there's now too much weed. data from the state showing that 31,000 pounds of pot have been harvested but less than a fifth of that have has been sold. washington has 270 licensed

growers only 85 stores. al sharpton says there's lack of diversity in those nominations and he's threatening to protest the academy awards until someone paying him. he says in the time of staten island and ferguson to have one of the most shutout oscar nights in memory is something uncon grewous. now we're shut out of hollywood. crystal wright says, hollywood is stuck in the segregated past. thanks for joining us. >> thank tucker. >> his complaint is that a movie that was nominated for best picture was somehow snubbed? >> al sharpton is incon grewous. he's trying to equate what happened in ferguson with hollywood. i think "selma" should have gotten nominated for best director and best actor.

part of the problem is hollywood sees people in this black box. hollywood only wants to back and produce films that have blacks stuck in the segregated past, these films aren't bad but can't we be more than ". the help"? "12 years a slave"? >> hollywood is uniform mali left wing. the president received more money from hollywood than any other state. is sharpton's goal here as it seems to be, just to shake down the studios? do you think that's what it is. >>? >> you know tucker, that's exactly what i said yesterday. al sharpton never met a protest that didn't line his products and help him. you tell me all of the protests he's ever done. they haven't helped to advance

black people. hollywood is a bashing of liberal white males. the academy is 94% of white males who are mostly liberal. that's democrat, as tucker said. and 77% male, i should say, 94% white, 77% male. so i think we need to hold them accountable like chris chris rock said. chris rock would love to play james bond. he would love to get money to produce a multimillion dollar fill. and play a leading role but hollywood doesn't see him that way. ava da very nay, the director of "selma" said she only got a budget of $20 million which pales in comparison to what hollywood is throwing at independent fimmentes that aren't blockbusters. >> it's funny. there are a lot of problems in

america. a lot of them affect the black community, one of them is unemployment. kind of a big deal. you never hear the reverend sharpton mention that. is that because he's so closely tied to president obama? >> al sharpton is never going to criticize president obama because he likes going to the white house. but he also like bs as you pointed out, getting money for national action network and not paying his tactionxes to the tune of $4 million in federal and state taxes? al is threatening hollywood with protests, al wanting a shakedown from sony. which i think he's probably already gotten paid from sony. all about al. i would love al to protest the double digit unemployment that's been affecting black americans probably since the day he's called himself a reverend. >> i wonder if nbc has ever weigh in on the fact that he's

never paid his taxes. crystal wright great to have you on this morning. he's been arrested 24 times but thanks to his union, this guy is getting paid more than $100,000 a year to work for the government. how did that work? then how would you like to swap the cold for this white sandy beach? courtney scott has the answers to all of your problems in the sizzling hot deals to help you beat the winter blues without breaking the bank. there she is to rescue us. ♪ thanks for the ride around norfolk! and i just wanted to say geico is proud to have served the military for over 75 years! roger that. captain's waiting to give you a tour of the wisconsin now. could've parked a little bit closer...

like "steam roller" maybe like "don't let me be lonely tonight" he should have brought what left of the beatles, or make he could take karen king to do "it's too late, baby" but i think the best song they should have done is bring james taylor's old flame back. carley simon and have her do "you're so vain" you probably think this is all about you. this was just an incredible moment to watch this an edge barras -- an embarrassing moment. >> taking it seriously, this is the secretary of state in a pretty fraught moment. the whole world is watching. what do you think they think

when they did this? >> clearly they're embarrassed for the fact the president of the united states was the only major world leader of consequence other than kim jong-un and putin who didn't show up in paris arm-in-arm and i guess he was watching football playoffs. as a result, it was a humiliateing experience for the white house, for the state department. it made america look bad. so they're trying to kid up and somehow show that, hey, we're really there with you. i'd love to hear a song than a john kerry speech, but it didn't seem to do that diplomatic repair it was a necessary. >> i am torn about this. on the one hand the french newspapers slamming the united states, yet when we call on the rest of the world to join us in the fight against isis, they're

quiet. you hear crickets. yet, they want us there for a photo op. so what needs to be repaired? is it the photo op and the relationship there need to be repaired or something deeper? >> well, here's the issue. the issue is america is a super power. we're world leader. we're the world leader. we need to act like it. it's not about always expecting everybody is going to come to our rescue. i think america has to look at itself as a nation that can stand alone. i want to tell you something the one thing america needs to do is to stand alone and for everybody on earth to understand it would love to have the participation and cooperation with every nation on earth to fight for trim and fight for liberty. if we stand alone, we are ready to die on the hill for liberty, because this is more important to us tan just having some friends in the world. we are about preserving and protecting liberty for the people of america. we will do whatever it takes and nothing will be ever able to make us second place to anybody.

>> that out to be our attitude and where we focus. >>let switch gores now, governor, talk about the joint press conference we saw with president obama and prime minister david cameron of britain. we saw president obama being scared to say the "i" word at the top of the show "islamic." one thing they were on the page about was these new iran sanctions proposed by congress and the president vowing to veto them if that goes through. what do you make of this. >> you know, i'm troubled. because i thought the sanctions on iran were working. it was putting the lid on iran's economy. it was forcing them to really have to think whether they wanted to act sell rate their nuclear program. when we relaxed those sanction on iran, it freed up a lot of their economy. it gave their government a swingd. second wind. the last thing they will be relaxed into the nuclear program. so i don't understand how this is working. i think the members of congress are right.

if you look at president obama's diplomatic reels he's botched it with egypt and russia and with israeli. why should i think he is going to be able to do something magnificent with an enemy like iran who wants to kill us for heavens sake and has vowed to. >> they are calling for the muslim call to prayer, there were outcries, donors got upset. they pulled back on the idea and said they are not doing that. what do you make of this? >> i would say if they want to let the muslims scream out over the speaker. if it doesn't interfere with physics exams so be it. if and only if they let christian groups on campus also express themselves with the same decibel level of amplification. all over america we are seeing christian groups not only be

told they can't use facilities. they can't even have an officially approved club on the campus that's christian because it might offend somebody. well, lock one set of rules applied to everybody or don't let anybody practice faith. i think america is big enough for everybody to have a voice rather than to shut down people's voices. free speech is about more speech, not less. that's what we ought to be seeing. as long as they are putting clamps on christians, good. put the clamps on people too. >> duke remains exited to fostering a welcoming campus for all of its students. however, it was clear what was conceded what was intended to unify was not having the intended effect. >> yeah, when you can't unify, there is no such thing as tolerance, that's water killing the idea of free speech in america and i wonder, where are the hippys and the yippys from the 1970s who protested on college campuses for free speech and now we see restricted speech

on college campuses. it's a head scratcher to me. i don't get it. >> i agree. >> that just doesn't make sense. >> thank you, governor. it was great to see you this morning. >> only my pleasure. >> if only we co learn more what the governor is up to, mikehuckabee.com. >> tanks, governor. coming up here he's been arrested 24 hour times, thanks, to his union, he is getting paid more than $100,000 to work for the department of corrections. why is it so hard to fire this guy? >> plus, he has moves, he's not afraid to use them. in his police car. we found a police officer who just loves taylor swift. he will be joining us live. this is the equivalent of the sugar in one regular can of soda. and this is a soda a day for a year. over an average adult lifetime that's 221,314 cubes of sugar. but you can help change that with

this brings up the total issue -- >> they're not sharing bubble gum from convenience stores. how did he get hired in the first place? >> well, you know, he was a quick supporter of the democrats. there were rumor he was on ba oyaich's secret list. his background it was out there. apparently family services and the corrections department they didn't look at it. >> yeah. we should also again note for viewers who may have missed it he's making over $100 grand a year as a prison guard. it sounds like the people elected to run illinois state government have little power in the face of the labor union. >> there is this whole shadowed government of unelected. unaccountable bureaucrats.

that's why he's pointing a, why he's keeping this job. b, why he's getting paid six figures. the first allegations were a senior level appointee or senior level official with the corrections department. plus he is making six figures a. spokesman said no no, no, it's not the only reason, it's because they couldn't control how much he's making. there was an arbitrator. that's why he's in the corrections department. the arbitrator said no you can't tire this guy. >> the department of corrections is appealing. we will update everybody on this story. thanks for your time today. >> thanks for having me on. >> you guys were great. >> remember the left wing activist group acorn? bill deblasio used to work for him. the new york mayor's past revealed. and never have trouble getting your kids to go to sleep ever again. the smart bed that comes

quote offense against the few republican-controlled congress. he amplified that message when talking about iran yesterday, listen. >> we respect the veto. i said to my democratic caucus colleagues yesterday that i will veto a fwal comes to my desk. >> talking tough. but is this really what the american people want? here to weigh is in seve abato. good to see you. we have a poll. it's a fox poll. it asks the question, has the president succeeded in doing any of these things? stimulating the economy. only 43% say yes, sir. improving health care 39% say yes. 45% say. handling illegal immigration. they don't seem to want the president to take the offensive anymore. >> you know, i appreciate the president reempbs to taking the offense, but even tow it's the

nfl post-season, don't take the offense, how about taking leadership. >> what's the difference do you think? >> the difference is this. i interpret the president as saying i'm going to use the veto pen when it comes to the iron situation. he wants to veto the eastern sanction. he's going to take the offense and using the executive order on immigration, he's going to take the offense on a lot of issues. how about trying to figure out a plan and work with the republican congress. they have not been easy to work with, frankly. by the way, they need to stop playing the blame game and blaming obama. now they have both sides of congress. >> it's an interesting distinction. >> it's not the same, tucker. >> it's the same. >> no. >> there the a political offense for political gain. >> i'm going to stop you, i'm going to stop you. because leadership in my view is not, i'm going to beat you, i'm going to stop you, i'm going to run the ball down the feel. it is we are going to physical out how to get things done. that poll also as i read the fox

news poll says people want things done on immigration, on economy, on tax on health care. they don't want you to beat the other team with a strong offense. they want you to figure out how to solve our problems. i don't think the president -- i think the president while he's talking to democrats in congress is saying, come on guys, let's stick together let's run the ball down the field and stop them. how does that help the american people? >> it's easier though the president is very good at it. >> campaign is over, tucker. >> he's good at campaigning. so isn't it true you do what you know. it's a lot easier tan improving the country or bringing jobs to america. >> i respect the president i'm not one of those obama haters. i'll say this, he is a much better companyer than he is an executive. the problem is this. leading is not the same as making a speech villainizing someone else or vilifying someone else and the republicans need to understand that once they took over both houses, they can't simply blame you know

harry reid. they can't simply blame -- because he's gone. they can't blame obama. they've got to lead. by the way, republican was are split. they have to discover how to play leadership coming together more effectively. blaming obama for everything isn't going to work. obama blaming republicans for some as toing him is weak. his last two years is i'm going to stop everything they try. if he thinks that's going to be his legacy. it will be worse than it is today and those numbers you just saw on the fox poll will be even worse he could ever imagine. >> interesting. we'll have you back to see if that comes true. >> playing leadership and playing offense are two different things. >> interesting distinction. thank you very much. the president opening the get as at gitmo to let terrorists free t. white house says gitmo is to blame for islamic extremism. hmm. we'll break that down. then imagine being a soldier and away from your loved ones on the other end of the planet. ten you get a package like this

the administration. they're claiming that the rate is only 6% when it's over probably a half. i think maybe that's the 6% we've killed on the battlefield that returned but the point of the matter is islamists look at the world in one way. they call it dara islam real m of peace or area of war. anything under islamic control is an area of peace. if you are outside that, they're going to kill you or convert you. >> we'll try to work on getting him. gary, you back? >> yes, i'm here. >> letthe white house is saying that it's just 6% rate. but the 30% breaks down like this. out of 614 transferred detainee 104 have reengageded in terrorism activities. another 74 or 12% are suspected of doing so and these numbers are about a 29% rate. where do you get numbers that

are even higher than that? >> first off, they're getting numbers from countries like saudi arabia, they were teaching finger painting to these people and they're not reporting the actual numbers. many of these people that have been released and sent back have escaped from foreign prisons. how the united states is able to keep track of this and they don't know where these people are is the mystery to me. there's no way it's 6%. i would tell you in my heart i know because i was there from the beginning. i've served in afghanistan for almost four years on different reiterations. they're there. they keep coming back. the numbers have got to be at least 50%. >> so then once they get back, they're treated like rock stars right? already, there's bad guys who were training and recruiting, but these guys have experience that's been tried and rang true, so they come back and they're rock stars. what does that do for their movement?

>> they are and it helps recruit, it helps, that's what inspires others. not the existence of gitmo. the releaseing of these people is inspiring a growth in jihadism. to qatar there are able to communicate with their people, inspire them, keep the movement going and americans are still fighting on the ground there. >> we brought you on the show because you helped put away some of these guys. what are they like? low risk high risk? >> many that we captured would tell us, we're going to be released and kill you and your families when we get out. that's their attitude because they don't believe the united states is going to act harshly against them. they see light at the end of the tunnel. they want to continue the fight against us and the administration's release of these guys is insane. >> you've got it. >> prison state opened for 40 years after world war ii. there's nothing wrong with keeping gitmo open for 40 years. >> retired cia officer and

smart phones and devices and the blue light emitted. your television. >> absolutely. these are all, especially technology is one of the biggest culprits and what i've researched is is that predominantly, like men can fall asleep with tv but women can't but when you're having sleep issues when you're not sleeping close to seven hours that's when the issues arise, but that being said for the most part, there are some people who can get away with sleeping less. >> okay, so seven to nine hour, not necessarily an accurate number for everyone. >> that's right. >> let's go through what you call the different types. these are we can adjust our clock accordingly. we have to figure out which type we are. one, the early bird. how does that break down? >> that person, that individual that wakes up really early, but wants to go to sleep early at night.

that's pretty much my husband. goes to sleep at 8:00 and wakes up at the crack of down. that's because he knows he can function that way. they're usually just falling apart by the end of the day. then the night owl, who probably more like the very creative person who can go to sleep late at night, but sleeps in quite a bit. >> how do we adjust our time and hours for people. how much should you be getting if you like to get up early as the sun is rising. you need seven hours nine hours? >> what i tell families and adults is that i'd like you to log what works best for you. so ideally, you're going through your day and jotting down your moods of that day of how much you slept and then compare it day after day. some men can do really well with fyfe hours, as well as women. >> we have the obvious ones. you're an early bird or night owl. i used to be the night owl. now, i struggle to stay awake

past 9:00, but there are a couple of gray areas. number two what is this one. >> >>? >> that one is pretty much you can be a little balanced. you can possibly handle waking up really early and then maybe 10:00, 11:00 at night is is more reasonable. >> what is is number three? >> number three is more likely the person that can actually go to sleep a bit much later and then still have to sleep in just a bit more. >> so feel energized in the morning. >> so log your sleep. if they can't work individually with you, log your sleep, track what works for youchlt the next day, try to repeat that pattern. >> yes and keep doing it then study your routine for yourself. every night, try to turn off technology about an hour before you go to sleep as well as have a wind down time.

10-year-old and 6-year-old how to be self-reliant. they joined us on the show yesterday. >> we really overestimate the danger and underestimate our kids. the riskiest things we can do with our kids is put them in a car, but we do that every day because we understand that some risks are worth taking and actually getting your child smashed is unlikely. >> is this kind of parenting the way to go? joining us now is father and author of the book, can you buy me wind? lily and relationship expert and mother. easy for me to say the morning. i'm going to let you guys do the talking. steve, you kind of agree this was a bad parenting move here. 10-year-old, not old enough to be able to walk home. why? >> i think it's irresponsible of the parents to let the children walk by themselves simply for it's not the children that you don't trust. it's everybody else and i just

think that you don't know what's out there and your children shouldn't you know -- >> are we coddling them too much? >> it's not coddling. if you look up the definition of parenting, it's to nurture, love, to take care of the child until the child is old enough to take care of themselves. a 6 and 10-year-old have no right walking over a mile to a park without adult supervision. the parents are claiming this is giving them confidence skills? i highly doubt that. what are you learning if the 6-year-old has to go to the bathroom, there's no supervision, how is that building confidence when you see other parents at the park with their kids with sodas and snacks and if the child gets hurt. >> parents are free to establish whatever style of parents they want, so free range parents whatever. if it's done within your home, great. here with the state law in may remember, you cannot allow a kid this age to be walking by themselves without the supervision of a 13-year-old.

so the cops that picked up these kids were doing their jobs. they were doing the right thing. it just happens to be that the noble intention from parents was to teach self-confidence wasn't the noble methodology that works for state law in maryland. >> i walked to elementary school with my buddies in my neighborhood in west lawn, pennsylvania. walked to my elementary school never had any problems. when i was little, my parents would drop me off. it was about a mile from school. >> i think times were a little bit different. i think it's irresponsible for the parents without knowing what's out there, to let a 10-year-old and 6-year-old. my 10-year-old, i don't trust her with a cell phone, or walking alone. >> we see violent crime is down across this country. we're seeing record low in crime in this country right now. i think maybe what's maybe more amplified that's different is the political correctness of everything.

there's much more attention. we've got social media. outrage on facebook. it's easy for people to just jump on and feel outrage and have no connection to a story. am i wrong? >> i think times are different today. any way you want to cut the cake. times are different today, however, you are entitled to raise your child any way you want, but letting the child a 6-year-old and 10-year-old walk over a mile to a park to have to play in a park unattended is ludicrous and ignorant on the highest level. the it's wrong. >> final word. >> at the end of the day, parents are free to establish their own style of parenting. i think there's many other ways to establish ways of learning self-confidence and being strong. in this case, i would love to be able to let my kids walk by themselves, but in this case, it's against the state law. >> nice to see all of you this morning. maybe i'm on the other side of the parenting panel this morning. al sharpton calling for an emergency meet ging with

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. why do i cook? because i make the best chicken noodle soup. because i make the best chicken noodle soup. because i make the best chicken noodle soup. for every way you make chicken noodle soup, make it delicious with swanson®.

shortstop ton is coming for you. he's kaulg an emergency meeting. that's the whole story, we are proud to have national review film critic joining us today in studio. thanks a lot for coming on. >> this is about selma and sharpton's contention is though the picture was nominated as best picture, it was still snubbed. >> well, sharpton's wrong in this case and i really wish people would take the word snub out of their oscar vocabulary. there are 500 films released every year not all of which can be nominated therefore, can't be a snub. >> is this a good film? >> it's a mediocre, one of the poorer films of the year. i hate the fact there are better films people are not talking about. >> this got nominated for best picture. >> which is a bit more than people deserved, so people

should be satisfied with that. there are better films that people have missed and should be talking about especially about african-american experience. >> you write about films for a living, but al sharpton is also a film critic, so i want to read his take on this right now. i'm quoting, in the time of staten island and ferguson to have one of the most shut out oscar nights in recent memory is something that is incongress rus. the only category is about blacks being shut out of society and now we're shut out of hollywood. do you know what that means? >> sounds like overstatement to me. really, i'm surprised that al sharpton isn't standing up for the movie about james brown. that's a performance that should have been nominated and wasn't. al sharpton of all people who considers himself a james brown ak light should be speaking up for that. >> he cut an album with james brown, married his back up singer, but he's not mentioning

that. why? >> probably because there's no publicist behind this. this has to do with publicity and with the dreadful forces of political correctness he's responding to. he's not really responding to movies or the oscars and art. >> it's about money. do you think hollywood's going to pay him off as so many other industries have? >> i wouldn't be surprised. it tends the to work that way. >> how distressing. if you are interested in diversity, the james brown film. >> if you're interested in art and entertainment, james brown is the one to talk about. >> what a revolutionary thought the idea that you would assess movies on their open terms as art and entertainment. >> which most people care about until the forces of political correctness spoil the day again. >> i'm going to start, i don't even watch movie, i'm going to start reading your movie reviews. great to see you. next up can w keep up with

it takes a lot of time, a lot of hours. they were on the ice this morning at 6:00 a.m. which you would imagine for teenagers, 6:00 a.m. on saturday is tricky but, they love each oh and love skating together. >> i'm from la jolla california, no ice skate, we're so glad you're here. >> we will take care of you. >> thank you. >> anna was born on the ice. you want to teach us if you get the first time you get a you get a kid out there who is going to do ice skating, what are the first few lessons you teach them? >> before you think about synchro, you want a solid foundation. if you think you are going to fall, go forward. if you feel you are going to fall, hands go to your knees. >> there is a video of me skating.

>> you didn't go forward. >> we are going to start off here. >> you are going to teach us to go in a straight line across the rink. synchronized. >> you are going to hold our hands. >> all we are going to do is skate straight forward. important we step on the same foot at the same time. we like to step on the left foot. you are going to push off your back foot and use your left food. going forward. so that's a start. >> good. where comes the part where you hold me up all times. >> that's a misnomer. you need to hold yourself up. so we think about skating like a real low body exercise but in synchro you have to have a strong upper body. arms nice and strong.

hold you by the shoulder. >> tuck you have to hold me. >> i'm holding you up but you are holding me up. >> it's like being a rockette. >> it is very much like being a rockette. >> can we push forward? >> yes. we are going to step on our left foot. ready? bend and push. >> thank you so much. >> you guys put us to shame. can we play music and have i guys play us out? we'll have more "fox and friends" in a few minutes. you were fantastic. thank you so much. >> awesome ladies!
