everyone is handing up their baby to be kissed by the hopepope. it's his signature of his tenure so far. his connection to people. probably one of the most shared pictures on the internet. the pope kissing a badly deformed man. >> he was asked by a girl why does god allow bad things to happen to children because 33% of folks who live in the philippines live in poverty. live in slum. he basically said, you know she's the only person in the crowd who has asked a question i have no answer to. it was almost impossible for her to almost ask the question the way she asked was through the tears. he said there's not an answer for this. but it does teach us how to love one another and how to have come passion for one another. >> which is an answer to the question that tormented christians for 2,000 years. why do bad things happen to good people. and to hear the pope concede

there's no answer. we don't know in this life is pretty reassuring. >> absolutely. we have other stories making headlines. another fox news alert. officials confirming four terror suspects arrested in greece are not linked to a jihadi cells. belgian authorities saying the cell on the search of launching attacks on miss.police. as belgium deploys troops to protect the u.s. embassy. and another fox news alert. florida police have arrested the kentucky teens dubbed the modern day bonny and collide. this is brand new video into fox and friends. taken minutes after panama city beach police found 13-year-old cheyenne philips and her 18-year-old boyfriend sleeping in the stolen truck behind an ihop. officials are working to send the teens back home after a two

week crime spree across the south. hundreds of demonstrators in washington, d.c., taking part in a blue lives matter march to the united states capitol. police are not thanked enough for the danger they face each day. organizers began planning the march after two new york city police officers were murdered in their patrol car. organized in response to months of anti-police demonstrations. the perfect proposal. ruined by a thief. a georgia man was planning to ask his girlfriend to marry him after a night at the movies and a helicopter ride. the couple was inside the theater someone broke into the man's car and stole a bag with the ring. >> i was mad. i cried. and then i just had to pretty much tell her. >> it's not about anything that was missing or the ring itself.

but, yeah you can't go back and redo all that, you know he set up the entire day. >> the couple said they're not interested in pressing charges. they just want the ring back. and those are your headlines. rings are not important. it's just the love. >> right. >> women don't feel about the diamond. >> on tuesday the president will give his constitutionally mandated state of the union address. we have a preview this morning. it is all over the news what the president plans to announce. his plan to fight income inequality and middle class wage stagnation. >> yeah. he's going to eliminate -- there's a bunch of break downs and i don't think it's palatable for republicans. we'll see if it headaches it through. he wants to eliminate the tax break on inheritances. republicans want to get rid of it. you inherit a large estate that is already paid taxes on through

the year by the family that created the estate. when the estate transfer you're taxed on that. >> yeah. >> as estate tax transfer. >> he wants to increase top capital gains on couples above $500,000. it's been raised under obama from 15% to 23.8%. >> he wants to soak the banks with more fees and the money will go to what? what the president says are tax breaks for the middle class. a $500 second earner tax break which will encourage both spouses to work. child care tax credit being hiked, and expanding a earned income tax credit which is basically free money to lower income workers. >> right. up to $3,000 per child under the age of 5 now. there's a cap on the income up to $210,000 in the family household. the $500 for two working parents

would only go to the $200,000 threshold. >> look, the president is making the case he's made many times before. we're going to soak the rich. they have the money. you have none. you're not going to feel it at all. only people you've never met before will be paying the taxes. >> when you spread the wealth around it's good to everybody. remember when he said in 2010? it's a narrative we've seen before. president obama's weekly address he said he wants the gop to push all games aside and to basically come to the table and do what he wants with this. >> our job is to make sure every american feels they're a part of our country's comeback. that's what i'll focus on in my state of the union. how to build on our momentum with rising wages, growing incomes, and a stronger middle class. i'll call on the new congress to join me in putting aside the political games and finding areas where we agree so we can deliver for the american people. >> so how is the president going to sell this t people in front of the

republican audience? he likes to invoke republican presidents at the events. he talked about how much he likes ronald reagan. he plans to invoke ronald reagan during the state of the union address saying the top tier capital gains rate of 28%, hey, ronald reagan raised it to 28%. why shouldn't we do it now? >> republican spokesman said it's ridiculous. it's meaning is the open silt of the literal meaning. stop playing games. this is a game. he knows it won't go through. the irony underneath it. income inequality has grown faster than obama than any president in american history. his solution? more taxes money goes to washington and we'll figure out how to doll it out. really? has that ever worked? >> it's a great way for the president to rally his base and to pit them against the evil republicans. as you mentioned, paul ryan said this is not a serious proposal. we lift families up and grow the

economy with a simpler, flatter tax code not increases to pay for more washington spending. >> if you think that middle class wage stagnation is a and it is. you don't have to be a democrat to believe it. think about why it is. if we're importing millions of low-skilled workers we have more workers than jobs. that's pretty simple math. whose fault is that? the president. >> the rich will pay for it. don't worry. let us know on facebook. it's our question of the day. all right. let's talk about toys this morning. if you walked around my living room recently you would see a bow and arrow set with sticksing things on the wall. >> you must have a terrible child. >> we have all sorts of things that probably should be outlawed at the festival. there's a festival arts festival that is wanting to ban all of these things that are on sale. you can go and get these foam

swords rubber bands, gun,er in of weapons that the kids get to play with. >> it's in pennsylvania selling those things are the most terrible things ever. this arts fest executive director says this. we live in a especially violent times. banning the sale of weapons might not be a giant step in making our society less violent but it's a step we can take. aren't little boys -- isn't this just something that lit boys want to do? if they don't have a gun they eat a little string cheese slice into a shape of a gun or a pop tart? >> if you want to keep boys from acting out and committing acts of violence, make sure the father is in the home. that is just -- look i have a shrink that degrees with that. more than half of americans grow up without their dads. banninger in of swords is this real? this is like the kind of thing only the faculty of some college could think is a good idea. >> and they turn back in the

'80s these guns looked like real guns. thor in of stuff looked like real guns and the '90s they started making them orange? >> yes. neon colors. they want to get rid of those. they couldn't look -- the little dart guns. >> would they have a problem with dads rough housing with their little boys. is that teaching them --? >> they're just boys that need to get out of the energy. >> science is in. if you want your kids to have the best present ever, get the crossman pump master 760. the single greatest pellet gun ever made. i grew up with one. >> you'll shoot your eye out. >> i gave them to four of my kids and they've had happy nonviolent childhoods. >> got it. >> are you kidding? >> take a squirrel out three football fields out. >> go to our facebook page this morning and weigh in. the world is still on high

alert as terror suspects arrested all over europe. here in new york city the nypd may be forced to scrub the guide to fighting terror from the records. we'll tell you why. we continue with our top story this morning as millions gathering in the philippines. father jonathan morris weighs in next.

largest gathering of humanity around a single person of all time. >> ever? >> ever. >> in human history? >> in human history. 6-mlt people gathered around. in other words coming to see one person for one event. you know, people say what a rock star but rock stars don't get that amount of people. and the reason why they're coming is not because of the popularity of one person but rather because they see in pope francis hope. they see joy. they see solutions to very serious personal problems. six million people coming for something. certainly to worship god together with pope francis, but also because they see this guy. he walks the walk and maybe he'll have something to say to me that will affect my life. >> we're looking at this popemobile before it used to be closed off. there was the protection level there. he asks to have it open. it's open air popemobile to be

among the people. to kiss babies, to talk to people, to shake hands. >> think this man was elected when he was hoping to retire. and he said, yes, i'll put my life in danger but i'm 78 and i'm going to do it. he said i'm going to try to get as close as i can to the people. one remarkable thing about the trip is the people who came to see him were not the big donors. nothing wrong with big donors. we need them. every charitable institution does. the people suffering most he visited an ororphanage. he had two 12 year-olds tell their story of being kidnapped and abused and sold and then they were eventually freed. those are the type of people he's spending time with. >> and pushed aside his prepared remarks to address these concerns of the people. how is that different from what we've seen in the past?

>> you know, other popes have gone off script as well but he's doing it in a decidedly way. what is he doing? he's reading what he prepared together with his people and what he feels like he needs to he sets it aside and has a translator next to him. he's been saying to the philippines, for example, one of the fastest growing economies in asia is be careful. as your economy grow it is doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be the solution to all of your problems. be careful of materialism. be careful of falling to the lure, the temptations that things can make you happy. >> so he -- when the pope goes on the road, he thaiailors his message to the audience. >> that's how he see it is naturally. i'll be with me people. and has a universal message, for sure. >> all right. father jonathan, you'll be joining us later to talk about

what we can take away from the message. >> which might make it a more interesting segment. >> at 6:30 in the morning you're doing well. coming up on fox and friends weekend. a $150,000 lamborghini bursts into flames. it only gets worst. they're supposed to be some of the smartest students in the world. what is a bigger threat to world peace? america or isis? to world peace? >> america. >> and now professors are blaming the u.s. for isis and the terrorist acts in paris. shocking example on campus straight ahead.

quick headlines for you. christians targeted by violent anti-charlie hebdo protests in africa. at least ten people have died. five of the victims were found inside churches that had been burned to the ground. the violence i rupted after the french newspaper issued the first cover since the attacks. and congressional democrats wasting no time in jetting to cuba following the president's announcement of opening relations to the communist country. a delegation of lawmakers lead by senator leahy arrived to discuss, quote expectations for the future. >> thank you so much. 24 minute was a the hour. they're supposed to be some of the smartest students in the world, but one question got some pretty shocking answers at

harvard. >> what is a big ere threat to world peace america or isis? >> to world peace? america. >> i don't think anyone would argue we didn't create the problem of isis ourselves. >> we're at some level the cause of it. >> it's not the first time world threats are twisted on college campuses. here in the united states professors blaming the united states for isis and the terror attacks in paris. we'll get to that in a bit. here with more is the editor in chief of campus reform. good morning, caleb. >> good morning. thank you for bringing this to our attention. how is it the students at harvard believe that america is a bigger threat to world peace than isis? >> well, at the campus reform we're seeing an alarming trend of students who want to appear to be intellectual. it's a faux intellectual that sees beyond the current, you

know attacks we're seeing by isis. why they're outraged and the reason behind that is western intervention in the middle east. and so they're trying to appear to be intellectual when they claim that america is a greater threat to world peace. >> i guess they're smarter than us. how about this? a professor is blaming the united states for the paris terror attacks saying this is what i called previously the clash of bar bashism. represented by western intervention by especially the united states conduct in this region provoking a counter bark rich compared to the big ones. who are the bigger -- >> well yeah the middle east not giving rights to women. treating people the way they do. the real bar bar begans, fres for instance in the charlie

hebdo attacks are those that restrict free speech who feel it is appropriate to murder 12 people in cold blood. america is fighting to liberate people. to bring world peace and fight for justice. we're not the monsters here. they are. >> help me make heads or tails of this. a professor taufbting how climate change has helped eye suggestion. what are the surprising ways? >> they're trying to claim that drought in the middle east caused a lot of unrest in people that rose up and wanted to cause problems because they wanted economic equality. and therefore they joined the radical terrorist groups. but the professors at the college of criminal justice are trying to make the point you as an american who are buying into the capitalist system and

driving your big suvs are to blame for climate change which caused this unrest which lead to isis. so truly, you're the runs who are to blame for the rise of isis. it's ridiculous. >> drive smart cars and isis will go away. >> caleb, thank you so much. >> take care. 28 minutes after the hour. coming up the world on high alert as terror suspects are arrested all over europe. but here in new york city the nypd may be forced to scrub its guide to fighting terror from its records? we'll explain that. and our weekend of fox and friends on ice continues up next. scaringe ing squaring off with the hockey players. can he handle them? my bet is on the little guys. at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like mute buttons equal danger. ...that sound good? not being on this phone call sounds good.

new york city about to erase the nypd's guide on fighting terror. the new york post reporting top secret tops to settle federal lawsuits against the police department for monitoring mosques as officials considering a demand to scrub the report from the website. critics worry the timing couldn't be worse after mounting terror attacks like the isis-inspired hatchet assault on two cops in october. it sends a harmful message that the nypd is backing down on counter terrorism efforts. the measles outbreak to disney land is spreading beyond. there are new 52 people sick with the highly contagious virus in four states and mexico. 445 4 45 cases alone in california. health officials are concerned that the spread will not stop saying several people who got sick at disney land were not vaccinated and now infecting other people. also, this morning australian golfer robert feels lucky to be

out here! we have the new york city cyclones! hi guys. playing hockey with clayton. we'll do that in a second. we have to do the weather. here in new york city we're getting a wintery mix. we have a bit of a coastal storm -- these guys are so cute. 34 right now in new york city. it was cold yesterday but we're getting a warm up ahead of this storm that is going to move in. actually, warm across much of the country. in some cases 15 to 20 degrees above average. look at you, dallas 68 today. 61 in memphis. a taste of spring in the heart of winter. taking a look at the satellite radar imagery. then we have the coastal event that is going to creep up the coast toward the northeast over the next several hours. and bring us mainly a rain event. it's too warm for snow if you can believe it. we have the potential for freezing rain west of new york. freezing rain advisories in effect and behind the storm that's where we could see snow

career in terms of hockey. but more importantly they're having fun. it's the whole usa hockey program to make sure they out here enjoying what they do. they're happy in the locker room but on ice they go! >> what sort of progress do you see in them. they start playing hockey and other the years? >> it's great. a lot of times they can barely stand up to skate. >> it's kind of 6 hard on not real ice but throughout the years they get better at skating. they pass together more. they become more of a team. these are lifelong bonds. they'll have these friends when they're 30 40 years old. they'll remember playing cyclones sports. >> yeah. >>well, from the beginning of the season to the end, i mean you play, like, 40 games. it's not just the boys. you have one girl on the team, too. >> we do. she's roughing it up out there.

great start. the controversial new website hackers list provides quote, professional hackers for hire. need to snoop a partner's e-mail? delete an embarrassing photograph. maybe change a school grade. the website promises it all. some of the anonymous wanted ads carry price tags as high as $5,000. there's a good chance that fitness tracker you got for christmas in the stocking doesn't work. a new report finds some are up to 40% inaccurate when it comes to counting calories researchers at iowa state tested seven brands. body media core was the most accurate. polar loop the least reliable. okay. >> thank you anna. let them eat cake. cupcakes in this case. a texas law maker making his first act in office official granting amnesty to cupcakes. local communities not the state will decide whether sweets will be served in schools map prompted this?

here to explain is texas commissioner of agricultural. mr. miller, thank you for joining us. >> this was the first act of the year. how come? >> it was the first thing i could do immediately. we have a lot of first priorities in texas like water and marketing products and delivering health care, but this one i can take care of very swiftly. >> tell us about what life in texas looked like before you granted amnesty to cupcakes. >> when i was campaigning and people found out that the texas department of agricultural manages the school lunch program, without doubt first thing mothers would ask me is why can't i take cupcakes to school for birthday parties or celebrations? so one of the first acts i did when i got into office was repeal every mandate from the texas department of agricultural to the local school distincts. >> the governor was telling parents what they could feed to

their own children. >> that's correct. we don't do that in texas. we believe in local control, individual responsibility and freedom from burdensome government regulations. >> how do you think this will be received by the public? >> we're hoping that the federal government can take a -- the people in texas love it. i mean i've just gotten lots of go we're hoping the federal government can take a lesson from what we're doing in texas because the federal nutrition program is a huge failure. we had over a thousand -- i actually over one million drop out of the program across the united states. we threw away over a billion dollars worth of food. that's taxpayer dollars to school districts all over the united states are dropping out of the program. so, i mean, once the government can tell you what you can eat there's nothing they can't tell you, i guess, at that point. the rationale for this, however are the troubling rates of

obesity and fatness. we'll put up on the screen. 19% of ten to 17-year-olds in texas are fat. 16% of high school kids 31% of adults. those numbers are pretty high. should the government have any role in helping to bring them down? can it? >> well, these rules were put in ten years ago in 2004 and those figures haven't gotten any better. government intervention hasn't worked. but individual responsibility, local control is what works. so we're getting out of the school mandate business. i started -- >> ten years cupcakes have been banned and the numbers are the same. i didn't know that. >> yeah. that's correct. >> wow. didn't work. >> it absolutely didn't work. side miller, i think you're probably a hero to a lot of moms in the state of texas.

if i had a cupcake i would raise it in toast to you. thank you for joining us. >> thank you tucker. coming up a veteran getting a letter from the va saying he's dead. he's dead. turns out he's not. he's going to join us to tell us how much alive he is. and when his ex-girlfriend dumped him before the around the world vacation, he found a stranger with the same name. they traveled around the globe. how did it go? join joining us next.

listen to this. it started with a redit post. looking for a canadian named elizabeth gallagher to go on a trip around the world. it was posted by jordan. he planned the trip with his ex-girlfriend and needed someone to take the same ticket because it was nonrefundable. he needed someone with the same name. >> who was the lucky winner elizabeth quinn gallagher. they spent three weeks in eight countries and just returned last week. here to tell us how it went is jordan. thank you for being with us. >> good morning. >> how are you? >> fantastic. thank you for asking. what gave you the idea to do it this way and hold a competition. asian lot i guess a lot of people applied and this cute chick got the golden ticket. >> it was not intended to be a competition. i had zero expectations. i was trying to make sure that an awesome trip didn't go to waste. i was content to travel alone

and a friend said you already paid for the trip. why don't you find somebody that can use the ticket. not a romantic thing. giveaway the ticket. you can travel together or not. and here we are today. >> i think when we heard the story we're thinking it's a chance for him to find love again then you won't have to change the embroidery and everything. you have the name ready. >> exactly. >> that's not how it turned out. she was already taken? >> well, let me be explicitly clear. it was never a romantic endeavor at all. it was trying to do something good and give them the opportunity they wouldn't have had otherwise. quinn ended up traveling with me. she had a boyfriend that was a huge plus when it came down to it. it removed a little bit of the pressure from the media speculation. but quinn and i have a brother and sister relationship. that came about somewhat naturally and to me that's the best outcome of the whole thing. i couldn't have imagined it. >> i don't believe you.

[ laughter ] >> new york, milan venice, hong kong, new deli and other places. there was never any dinner or bistro that flowered into something else? i don't buy that >>well, you can believe what you wish, but -- well, you know, it is. it's the old statement of why ruin a good story by telling the truth, right? i'm sorry. i apologize. i wish it was a romantic ending but it's not. >> i have to ask. she has a boyfriend. >> yeah. >> if i'm in his shoes -- >> right. >> you're not going on that trip! >> honey i have something to bring up to you tonight. i want to go on a around the world trip with a guy i don't know him. sure. go ahead. how is the boyfriend on board with this? >> he was very supportive. they've been together for a long time, and, you know, it wasn't -- how the whole them was

framed and enreality of the situation he was supportive. he was jealous he wasn't going on the trip as well. he wanted to visit a lot of these countries. >> is there a small part that wished there were 18 elizabeth gallaghers who tried out for the position to get to go with you. >> tried out. >> maybe i should have picked one of the others? >> one of the single ones? >> no. not at all. in fact, it was the opposite. i thought the fact that quinn had a boyfriend was a real benefit to the whole thing. because, look the only reason we're doing any media around it today is all about you know what things turned into with the charity of ticket it forward. ultimately it was never a romantic endeavor. it was a nice sort of occurrence. to be honest at the end of the day the applicants from 20 to 64 from all sort of life situations. it wasn't just quinn had a partner. many were married. other had long-term boyfriends and partners. to me that's a testament of

adventure and experiencing and not having everything be about romance as the end game. >> we're going to ask you about the charity. what is it ticket forward and how can we learn more? >> sure. essentially when the story first broke i got thousands of e-mail around the world from people who haven't had the opportunity to travel. many of those were people that, you know, are overcoming abuse, overcoming poverty. some were terminally ill. the stories were heartbreaking, inspiring, and everything in between. they asked how can i see the world. i didn't have an answer. and i started to look at the charitable landscape and there's no one out there doing this kind of work. ultimately what we ended up doing over the span of a couple of weeks is creating a registering a legitimate charity registered in california called a ticket forward. it's dedicated to sending survivors of abuse survivors of cancer, and survivors of warfare on the trip of a lifetime with the general belief that travel, especially after hardship in

your life can be transformative. it has been in mine. and i know that's the case in many others. >> i think that's totally true. you sound like a fun guy to travel with. thank you for joining us. >> thank you guys. coming up a fox news alert. a record breaking 6 million people gathering to see the pope in the philippines. more on his message in a life report at the top of the hour. >> have you ever wondered if this can really happen? >> we're breaking down cold weather medical myths and facts next hour. >> the second christmas story reference of the morning. are your joints ready for action? osteo bi-flex®

country in asia where the majority are catholic. the catholic church in the mill peens is preparing at the moment for the upcoming 500th anniversary of the religion arriving in the country. the highlight of the mass was the sending in mission of the church in the philippines at the evangelizers to the asian world. and pope francis highlighted in his service poverty and corruption. >> pope francis heads back to rome monday morning local time. back to you. >> thank you david. much is made of the large gathering. 6 million people by the latest estimates there.

we were talking about it with father john this morning. it's remarkable. the pope asked to have the popemobile not be closed in with the bubble that had been standard for many years. he wanted an open-air popemobile so he can shake hands and kiss babies. >> and willing to put on a poncho like everybody else to be among the people. one of the most moving moments when a little girl who was homeless at one point sought shelter from a christian community there asked why is do bad things happen to children and good people. why do they end up surrounded by drug addiction and prostitution? he said this girl has asked the only question that nobody can answer. and she wasn't able to ask it in words. she asked through her tears. what his response was have you learned to weep for a child that you see being hungry? and calling for everybody to act and said this question is unanswerable. but everybody needs to rally around the poor. >> it's a question that

tormented people since the beginning of time. it's so reassuring to hear the pope of the catholic church concede there is no answer in this life. by the way 6 million, apparently the largest group of people to gather for the presence of a single person. >> father jonathan morris is joining us a little bit later to talk about the pope's message and how we can interpret into our own lives. here is a look at the rest of the sunday morning headlines. overnight more terror suspects arrested in greece. belgium officials said they're not linked to a raid they conducted on thursday. authorities saying that cell was on the verge of launching attacks on police. as belgium deploys troops to present the united states embassy and key buildings in the country. 150 soldiers patrolling the streets. another fox news alert. in love and on the run no more. new this morning florida police have arrested the kentucky teens dubbed the modern day bonnie and clyde. this is brand new video taken

minutes after panama city beach police found 13-year-old cheyenne fill lynnphilips and 18-year-old boyfriend sleeping in the stolen truck. they accused of a two week crime spree across the south. a dozen people hurt in a massive highway crash involving more than 20 tractor tray alreadiesy s-- tray alreadyilers in oregon. >> this is the truck we hit. we squeezed through here. >> we would have been dead. >> black ice and fog are blamed. one lucky driver very lucky to be alive this morning. he was sandwiched between two trucks and walked away with just two band aids on his finger. your job might be driving you to drink. a british study said people who work 49 hours a week are 13 more likely to be, quote, risky

drinkers. for women that means you have more than 14 drinks a week and men 21 drinks a week. no surprise researchers say work aalcoholics turn to booze to treat job-related stress. >> work hard play hard. speaking of while you were sleeping the white house releasing details of the president's constitutionally mandated state of the union address which will happen tuesday night. the big idea behind it? so you may have heard it before. tax the rich and give you the goodies. it's the all candy economic program. we'll soak people you never met and never will and give you free stuff. you get to see who stands up. who doesn't. who is going to get booed and who will stand up. i guarantee republicans won't be clapping for this. here is president's new tax plan. he wants eliminate the tax break on inheritance ss respects wanted

to get rid of it. they believe you paid taxes over the years to gain the wealth in the first place. and now it's being handed down to your son or daughter or the family or the estate you're going to be taxed again on the inheritances. >> why should you have to pay twice? also, increase top capital gains rates on couples with incomes above $500,000 to 28%. it's been raised under president obama from 15% to 23.8%. pay couples for both that work and give the middle class and the working class more money from the earned income tax credit. the big idea here again, is that take money from a small group of people the rich, as defined by the president, and you filter it through washington. lots of it sticks to government and government bureaucrats they take their cut. and you give the rest out as charity so people are grateful to you as a leader and vote for

your party again. >> here is one area the republicans may have the agreement. impose a fee on big financial firms with assets over $50 billion. but you mentionedth $500 for the second earner tax credit in families working so both spouses working. they each get a $500 tax credit for the year. >> yeah. that's what your money would go to. expanding the child care tax credit up to $3,000 per child under the age of 5 and expanding the earned income tax credit to workers without children. >> it's so interesting the idea behind this and the president said we're going address income inequality and falling wages or stagnant wages for the middle class. what they don't mention and the irony behind this is income inequality has risen faster. wangs have been more stagnant than under any president in american history. it doesn't result in more

equality. it hallowed 0 out the middle class. >> president obama pitting democrats against republicans saying the gop needs to put aside the games if we want to get any work done. listen to the president. >> our job is to make sure that every american feels they're a part of our country's come back. that's what i'll focus on in my state of the union. how to build on our momentum with rising wages growing incomes, and a stronger middle class. and i'll call on this new congress to join me in putting aside the political games and finding areas where we agree so we can deliver for the american people. >> but this is unlikely to pass so if you want to talk about games, the representative for paul ryan his spokesperson said you're the one playing a game of charades mr. president this is not a serious proposal. >> it's just infuriateing. i agree with president obama that these are real problems.

they're not made up problems. you don't have to be a democrat to think they are. the only answer is private sector employment that pays a real wage. that gives people not only money to pay their bills but dignity. human dignity and this is not the answer. they've ignored private sector job creation in favor of creating a bunch of unionized ridiculous bureaucracy jobs in washington. and it's -- and welfare. >> right. >> that's not the answer. >> squeezing small and big businesses alike. scott writing higher taxes means more wasted dd spending. >> john writes when you spread the wealth you only spread the poverty. >> bill writes why punish success? good question. >> keep the comments coming on this preview of the. president's state of the union. a veteran gets a letter from the va saying he's dead. turns out he's very much alive.

bizarre on a number of levels. how does that happen in the first. he joins us live. and more on our top story this morning an incredible show of faith as a record 6 million people, more than gathered in human history, come to see the pope map can we take away from his message at home? we'll be right back.

and author of inside the vatican father tom reece. >> good morning. thank you for being with us. >> what do you credit for these huge numbers coming out? it's moving to see. >> well i think that people in the philippines see the pope as someone who is coming to bring them the message of jesus' love, his compassion, and especially for the poor. the pope said this trip was all about the poor. he wanted to come and be with the people who have suffered so much during last year's typhoon. he did that. he went to their city even though a storm was heading towards the city and the people had to stand out in the rain and he was saying mass in the rain. he wanted to come and show them how much he loved them. how he wanted to be with them. and secondly, he wanted to focus on the issue of poverty. you know, one-third of the

children in the philippines live in poverty. and he wanted to be there with them to weep with them. to cry out that something needs to be done to take care of these children. >> so what is his message for poverty? is it a message to the poor about how to live with being poor? a message to the rest of us about how to help the poor? what can we take away from it? >> this is a two-fold message. the pope always speaks about our responsibility. but he tells us about our responsibility to one another. and the responsibility of governments to work for the common good. and to deal with the structure barriers to help create poverty. so his message is multiple in that sense. he's very concerned that the poor not be left out. they not be marginalized. these are people who just don't make it in the marketplace. they need a help. they don't want to you know,

they don't want to be subsidized. they don't want to be treated like charity cases. they want jobs. they want decent jobs. they want good education so they can help their children to prosper. >> yeah, job training and education is a great ticket for them to make a better life for themselves. what can we take away from the message that the pope gave there in the philippines here in america? >> well, i think that the message that the pope gave is one that has been throughout his pagan si. we have to be concerned about the poor. they have to be a piratety. they were a priority for jesus. this is a message that has been constant in his preaching. that when the poor are left out of any kind of economic system then the economic system is flaw flawed. they need to be focussed on.

they need to be cared for. they need to be helped. that is a central message from this pope. but i think is applicable for people all over the world. >> father tom joining us this morning. it's a remarkable thing to watch the pictures. thank you. it we appreciate it. coming up the convention that was supposed to be a muslim conference to promote peace but the keynote speaker is a man with links to the 1993 world trade center bombings. protesters showing outrage loud and clear. did this really han because it's too cold outside? >> stuck! >> dr. nina radcliffe here to bring down your cold weather myths and facts next.

>> thank you. >> we came inside to warm out while the kids are outside. your tongue will stick to a pole in cold weather. fact or myth? >> that's a fact. i'm not sure why anyone who will do it. metal collects heat. the is a saliva will freeze. what if johnny does it. >> you pour warm water. you might lose some of the taste buds. >> what about losing most of the heat through our head. wearing a hat helped more than wearing a coat. >> you can. you don't lose heat that is not proportion to your body surface. we forget to wear a hat and it feels like we're losing significant amount of heat. it's not 80%. it's more like 10% when we go outside we don't wear shorts otherwise we would lose heat through the legs. >> the kids on the hockey rink

it's just protecting their heads. >> whiebt cold air makes you sick. >> this is one of the toughest myths to dispel. when it's cold we're more likely to con grate inside and germs are more likely to be shared from one another. their thinking is central heating dries the air as well as our nasal passages and viruss able to spread more readily in dry air. >> you would have seemed like -- petri dish. >> yeah. >> it is the dry air. yeah. >> how about chicken noodle soup. >> it helps. they say that chicken nood is good for the soul but good for the common cold. you need to have it from true chicken broth. the bone as well as the mauro. these are jam packed with magnesium, as well as calcium. it helps with the immune system working at peek capacity.

>> you need to do a homemade with the broth. once again the nutrients from the bone as well as marrow. >> it can soothe your throat. >> sure. >> what about allergies? we hear about during the spring and summer the pollen in the air. so the idea that allergies simply go away in the winter. is that a fact? >> it's a truth and fact. if you suffer from indoor allergies it may get worse. when it's cold you leave your pets indoor. you might leave your windows closed so you don't get fresh air. there are certain molds that may grow. for those people, yes, their allergies will worsen. for those that suffer from the seasonal allergies from pollen, it can get better because we're not exposed to the pollen in the winter time. >> thank you for clearing that up. thank you. 27 minutes after the hour here. coming up on fox and friends. a pro golfer the victim of a terrifying attack. drugged and forced into the trunk of a car and left on the side of the road.

when there's flu, tamiflu. 161-2 that was the score of a basketball game in in california in the southern part of the sate. the coach of the winning team was suspended for two games after this game. the authorities said, you know, it's too much. >> the authorities stepped in. the basketball authorities. they stepped in. he said look, i wasn't trying. we benched our starters so it wouldn't get blown out of proportion. at what point did he berj his starters. how many points were on the board? at some point it gets ridiculous. >> either way you can see both sides. for the losing team, that gets you down in the dumps. what do you do for the winning

team? put your hands behind your back and try to slide around on your knees or bum and quit playing your best game? >> yes you do. i got into a huge dispute with our producer this morning who is a smart and decent man who accused me of socialism. i have never been accused of that before. i'm not for socialism in any forms, obviously. but in this specific case you take your foot off the throat of the opponent. >> and you have a heart. >> i do. >> they're not 6, 8, or 10. they're between 15 and 18. they're in high school. and the other team could forfeit and say i've had enough. i'm not going to be a professional basketball player. i'm going to hang up the high tops. >> this even happens in the nfl. teams, coaches realize after a 30-point spread chances are you're probably not going to come back unless you're the bills and have one of the greatest come backs. you take the foot off the gas a little bit.

you bench the starters. you put the top quarterbacks on the sidelines so they don't get hurt. what's up? >> do they have the rule? >> and the point -- can we get chris a microphone? >> the point of the mercy rule is to display gentlemanly behavior. sportsmanship. restraint. decency decency. >> the losing team learned a lot. i think the winning team should learn something about controlling yourself. >> that's the other thing. if you're winning all the time, what are you really learning from that either? the teachable moments when you get knocked down and you have to dust off the shoulders and pick yourself up. and the team. this isn't the first game they've won by a huge margin. it's getting attention because it was such -- >> the silver lining. >> i'm being mocked in my ear by my producer gavin. it's a merciful world out there. it's not a merciful world out there. that's why in high school sports

you make a better world. >> right. >> that's so sweet. >> what do you say if you're the losing coach in the locker room after the game. at least we scored two points. it could have been worse. it could have been a shut out. >> you move to -- >> it's basketball it's not an incredibly -- it's not a contact sport, really. it's not like football or rugby or boxing where the kids are being injured. but maybe -- is this hurting their psyche to be losing multiple games by this margin. >> weigh in and go to our facebook. we're ff weekend on facebook. weigh in on this. >> are you for socialism in high school sports? we have a look at other stories making headlines now. australian golfer feels lucky to

be alive. he was kidnapped and robbed in hawaii after missing the cut at the sony open. he took a picture of his injuries. he said he was drugged at the wine bar and forced into a car trunk. he said he doesn't remember much, but that a military veteran saw him six miles from the bar and helped him back to his hotel. police are reviewing surveillance video from the bar. a los angeles rattle tycoon in stable condition after a man on a bicycle opened fire from just feet away. cameron segal was sitting in his royals royce outside of a hollywood business when he was shot in the face and chest. he was reportedly waiting to sign a $5 million deal. police are investigating whether or not it was a targeted attack. the gunman is still on the loose. and thousands protesting a muslim conference held in texas this weekend. demonstrators appearing outside the event holding signs and american flags. many outraged about the keynote speaker accused of being an

rink out here on 48th and sixth. it's raining right now and normally on a real ice this would be a problem, you know, the temperature is right around the freezing mark. this is actually synthetic ice. it's faux ice. i'm calling it fice. you don't need a scam bonenie. we have lovely hockey players. we'll talk to them in a minute. let's take a look at the temperatures. much of the country warm. in some cases 15 degrees above average. look at the highs today across new york 42. 68 in dallas! 61 in kansas city for the middle of january. that's a little nutty. northwest we're looking at a system moving in there with rain and mountain snow and watching the coastal nor'easter hence the rain in new york city that is crawling toward the northeast and new england. we'll be dealing with mainly a rain event along the coast. we could see snow as the system moves into canada. not a big deal here and obviously it's coming on a sunday, which is great news.

so i've been dead for a month in one computer system in the va and i was still making doctors appointments in the other part of the system. >> how did you respond? this does not inspire confidence in the system, does it? >> no, it does not. i was surprised when i got the letter. turning into a little bit of anger in the evening because i knew his benefits would be affected. i knew how long it took when you first start the benefits. and who hoops we might have to jump through to get it started again. >> i bet. james, you served the country and a lot of men like you are being demoblized comings home and relying on the va to make them better. to help them. are you confident the system is equal to that? >> that raises a lot of questions, i mean, we did a multimillion dollar overhaul of the va after their last scandal. you know, you still have a lot of veterans that are, you know, they may not be receiving the

he's love in bangkok with more on the historic event and gathering. good morning, david. >> yes good morning to you. pope francis has been attracting huge crowds whenever he's gone in the philippines and the biggest one of all was today in manila. it may have brought together as many as 6-million people despite steady rain they gave the pontiff a welcome. 4 million was attracted there 20 years ago. the philippines is the only country in asia where the majority are catholic. the catholic church in the pill peens is preparing for are the upcoming 500th anniversary of the religion arriving in the country. the highlight of the mass today was church in philippines. pope francis dedicated the service in part to the victims of the typhoon which devastated

the country in 2013. and he had this special message for the youth of the philippines. >> we need to care for our young people not allowing them to be living their lives on the streets. >> pope francis heads back to rome monday morning local time. back to you. >> david live in bangkok thailand. if you like at the popemobile it's one of the first few times we've seen it. he didn't want to be cordoned off behind the glass. being able to shake hands with the people. having babies -- he reached up and able to kiss the babies and be among the people. >> absolutely. >> he's the pope for famous wading into the crowd. the most shared photograph of him hugging the man badly deformed. one of the most touching moments from the ceremony in particular was when a

12-year-old girl who was homeless. here heshe is. she said many of them have been abandoned and bad things have happened to them. >> does god allow it to happen even if the children are not at fault. she asked the pontiff this while fighting back tears. he said it's the one question i can't answer. it's impossible to answer. and it is a team orrial thing we can't make heads or tails of it. something christians have -- he called on everybody who sees a child struggling or starves to weep for them. >> who hasn't asked that question. even of themselves choking back tears and to hear the pope say we don't know it's kind of freeing. the pope doesn't know, you know. >> father jonathan morris will

join us to talk about that. the white house getting big preview of the state of the union address this week. and the president has released the details of his plan. if you read the new york times this morning you would have thought that this was all about reducing taxes and really helping out america. but if you break it down the opposite side of this this could be seen as a tax increase on the wealthy. here is the president's plan. eliminate a tax break on inheritances. so the big tax that when an estate is handed down. you see an increase in taxes there. capital gains rate would go up to 28% from 15% when the president came into office. >> that's right. and also impose a fee on financial firms with assets of more than $50 billion. >> right. >> so in return that is what he's taking. the pitch is we tax the rich people you never meet. see on television. they're the only ones that pay for it. and you'll reap the benefits. that will include a $500 second earner tax credit for families

who are both spouses work. the federal government would be subsidizing having two parents in the work force. expand the child care tax credit up to $3,000 for kids under the age of 5. and expand the earned income tax credit to workers without children -- it was thought up by republicans years ago. transfer payment basically payment of people with jobs. >> harkin back to 2008 and when the president was on the campaign trail running for the first time and joe the plumber asked him in northwest ohio about his tax policy for small business owners too. he basically said when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody. so the redistribution of wealth is nothing new. >> a big point on the $500 second earner tax credit for families and also $3,000 for child tax credit that's for families who are capped at $210,000 in annual income tax.

anything above that they won't get that credit. president obama in the weekly radio address laying out he wants the gop to put aside their petty games and get some work done. that's what he said. >> our job now is to make sure that every american feels they're a part of our country's comeback. that's what i'll focus on in my state of the union. how to build on our momentum with wising rages, growing incomes and a stronger middle class. and i'll call on this new congress to join me in putting aside the political games and finding areas where we agree so we can deliver for the american people. >> that is a petty little game. this won't pass through congress. and the deeper irony president obama said it's needed to combat income inequality. both of which have come worse during his presidency. the idea that taking money from a tiny group of people filtering it through washington enriching bureaucrats every day and giving

it to people in the form in the effect of welfare will make the country stronger? what people need are legitimate private sector jobs that pay living wages. it's how they pay their bills. this does nothing. >> and critics would say if you want to talk about games the president is playing games. it won't pass anyway and it's designed to enrage republicans. david on facebook said stop increasing taxes and wasting our money. the government needs to live the same way as families. may be a budget spend only what you have. >> how about a pay cut for washington? that's the one thing that is never going to happen. you can bet your whole house there will never be a reduction in pay for the people taking your money in d.c. ever. >> or the size of government. neither party reduced the size of government since the '50s. michael saying people bad at math think you can tax your way out of our budget problem.

>> keep your comments poring in on facebook this morning. we'll read them later. other stories making headlines. we start with the fox news alert overnight four terror suspects arrested in a massive crack down across europe in the wake of the paris attacks. belgium officials say they're not linked to a raid they conducted on thursday. authorities saying that cell was on the verge of launching attacks on police. this as belgium deploys troops to protected united states embassy and key buildings in the country. 150 soldiers are patrolling the streets now. and another fox news alert. florida police have arrested the kentucky teens dubbed the modern day bonnie and clyde. this brand new video into fox and friends taken minutes after police found 13-year-old cheyenne philips and her 18-year-old boyfriend dahl ton hayes sleeping in a stolen truck behind an ihope. now officials are working to send the teens back home after a two week long crime spree across the south. a dozen people are hurt in a

massive highway crash involving more than 20 tractor tray already trailers in oregon. >> guys, like there's 20 or 30 more trucks up ahead. this is the truck i hit. we squeezed through right here. we would have been dead. >> black ice and fog are being blamed. one driver very lucky to be alive. he was sandwiched between two trucks myiraculously he walked away with just two band aids on one of his fingers. get ready for blue monday. tomorrow is being called the unhappiest day of the year. christmas and new year's is over. the weather is miserable and the holiday bills need to be paid. don't eat away the sadness because you end up breaking the new year's resolution. those are your headlines. >> imagine being that teen bonnie and clyde couple who have been arrested in a stolen truck

parked outside an ihop. asleep. >> i couldn't have written that. perfect. coming up the world on high alert as terror suspects are arrested all over europe. the nypd may be forced to scrub the guide for fighting terror from the records. >> most people look at this photograph and see a school bus. one mother says she sees satan. she's outraged.

president obama set to address the republican controlled congress with a first time in the state of the union address tuesday night. and the big announcement he's calling for $320 in tax increases over the next ten years. is this just the president ignoring the american people? joining us now shannon. nice to see you this morning. >> you as well. >> let's talk about the big state of the union address. the president's hope. telling republicans we don't want any games, america. americans want to get things done. are republicans going to play ball with his plan. >> probably not on the new tax policy. you know will it raise rates on the highest wage earnings. cut out loopholes.

the good side is tax credits as you were discussing meant to help middle class families. nothing is free. so with all of the talk of free community college and extended paid leave for federal workers, i mean, the money has to come from somewhere. you can bet republicans are not going to allow the tax proposal to slide through. but it also puts them in a position, i'm sure the white house is thinking of having to defend, quote, unquote rich guys. so we'll see how it plays out. >> so what is -- is that the point? do you think? touting a policy that is unlikely to become law? >> i don't like to be cynical. maybe a little skeptical on this. if you look at the map and look at who controls the house and senate. the white house and the president have know it's not going to be an easy sell. it's not going to be a hard sell. there's going to be no sell. you have to wonder what it sets up which is the conversation about even looking into 2016 the republicans and the gop about rich people. they don't care on something

proposing help lower and middle class folks. >> when americans may hear what the money is going to. it may make some people happy. low do you think it will be received? >> it's interesting because there are positive things. we want to see middle class families doing well and have a chance for a better access to affording child care and those kinds of things. the proposals sound good. with all kinds of good proposals from republicans and democrats that come through washington they have to be paid for. when people listen to that side of the argument they may have pause and might take another step and say we're talking about people making over $500,000 a year. they can afford it. it's the messaging the populace kind of elizabeth warren taking from the rich giving to the poor or the middle class. it's a conversation i think we're going to see well into 2016. >> who do you have coming up on the show today. a couple of big topics. >> yeah. i imagine we're going to talk about releases from gitmo,

noeshs negotiations with iran even the shocking spread of syria. we're going to talk to the new chair of the senate homeland committee ron johnson republican out of wisconsin. and ben cardin who serves on the foreign relations committee. a lot of topics around the world. but also we learned on friday that the supreme court is going to take up four same-sex marriage cases and argue them probably within the next couple of months. so we've got two of the laefding voices in that ted olson who had california's ban on same-sex marriage struck down at the supreme court and tony perkins head of the family research council. should be a good debate. >> should be. it's great to see you in the seat. we'll watch. >> thank you. coming up on fox and friends. a prison inmate looks to the word of god to smuggle drugs. the unbelievable way he got heroin behind bars through the bible? >> the american sniper the new film will be smashing box office records. kevin mccarthy just changed his star rating to accommodate the

movie. we'll tell you what is behind his change of heart. he joins us next. >> would you be surprised if i told you they credited you with over 160 killed? do you think you might have done some things over there you wish you hadn't? >> that's not me, no. kelley blue book... it's the trusted resource. and now, kbb.com has a whole new way to help you decide on your next new car by showing you what really matters. use 5-year cost to own to compare the long term cost of maintenance insurance and gas. read reviews. woman: gas milage is awesome. from actual owners and kelley blue book experts. and get the full picture on what it's like to own the cars you're considering kbb.com

>> the film has been nominated for six academy awards. it appears to have deeply impressed our old friend fox news contributor founder of neerd tears.com kevin mccarthy. good morning. >> good morning to you. just don't hold back. not that you ever do. what do you think of the film? >> i loved the film so much. identify seen it three times. a lot of people ask me how it was eligible for the academy film. it was released on christmas day in four theaters in l.a., new york, and dallas and rolled out on the 16th. it's one of the most powerful, emotional intense movies i've seen in a long time. bradley cooper became chris kyle. this is a performance from a physical standpoint and mental standpoint. he physically became him. gained the weight. growing the beard but mentally became him. it's about the eyes. the internal performance. every time you see chris kyle take a shot in the movie it's

the way eastwood districts it and you see cooper's eyes change. it's a performance, for me that solidifies him as one of the best actors working now. one of the few actors who has been able to shed a franchise. the guy from the hang over for three movies and you never see that character anymore. it's unbelievable what he's been able to do. it's a phenomenal film. eastwood's best movie since 34r river. >> we understand you changed your ratings on this to a new rating. what happened here? >> here's what happened. i volt on the movies for a local affiliate here in washington, d.c., for the washington area film association. so when i originally saw the movie it was on a tiny screen in thanksgiving and i gave it a 4 1/2 out of five. i saw it with my family over christmas and it hit me so much more. i went from a 4 1/2 to a 5. it is one of the films that just hit me more emotionally the second time around. i've seen it three times now.

and the third time i saw it i saw in imax and the sound quality of the movie. it's unbelievable. clint eastwood did a phenomenal jobs. it's one of the movies i saw in 2014. worth the five out of five. >> wow. you talked to bradley cooper about how the film was shot. let's listen to that. >> are we seeing what you're seeing how does that work? >> well, i mean you talk about technically? >> technically no. it's different because you're looking at points of view and you have to put the camera where my eye would be and you're on the tracking thing. it's all very technical. and that's just sort of challenge of making a movie is you have to add you have to put the sense of organic in the moment. in a technical environment. >> it was an honor to speak to them. my full interview is there. she spoke about how she saw

chris kyle on screen. >> sh great. we can't wait to see it. next up we have paddington and you said it's a perfect family feature film. >> this movie surprised me like no other. i was sitting in the theater i'm like what is paddington. i know, it's a classic children's story paddington a bear but the movie is shot so beautifully and so well. everything about it is a perfect family movie. it's fun. they did a great job. the voice of paddington it's a really beautiful victim of a perfect family movie. it has every quality you want in a family film. i walked out of the theater with a smile on my face. it's a well made film from every aspect. i honestly think wes anderson could have directed. it's gorgeous. i give it a had4 1/2 out of five. >> we saw it yesterday. i was surprised we enjoyed it. there's a lot of older couples

without kids that probably remember from their childhood. >> it's so well and the direction is amazing. american sniper is r-rated not for kids. paddington a good family movie. check them out if you get a chance. >> kevin thank you. i appreciate it. coming up one arts festival putting an end to all toy weapons even foam swords and nerf guns because they're too violent. one town outrachblgged. and the cold-weather gear you need. we'll show you how to make the soups next. does a freshly printed presentation fill you with optimism? then you might be gearcentric. right now, get this case of paper for only $24.99 and save even more after rewards. office depot & officemax.

you get sick you can't breathe through your nose... suddenly... you're a mouthbreather. well, put on a breathe right strip and instantly open your nose up to 38% more than cold medicines alone so you can breathe and sleep shut your mouth and sleep right. breathe right. i'm angela and i quit smoking with chantix. my children always wanted me to quit smoking but i resigned myself to the fact that it wasn't going to work. 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't 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'm a non-smoker. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you.

a fox news alert. pope francis ending his trip to asia with an open-air mass in the capital of the peenhilippines. a record breaking 6 million came to hear him speech. what was the message? joining us now fox news religion correspondent. father, nice to see you this morning. i hope he used the occasion to say something pretty impressive. >> he did. a lot of people are saying on twitter and facebook and social media this guy is a rock star. you know, look no rock star brings in 6 million people to see them. and i think that's not to say pope francis is more popular or more -- people are going for something else. they're going for the message

you mentioned. what are they getting? a message to do what they should do. to follow one's conscience and do it. >> i'm amazed 6 million people. you said earlier it's the largest crowd in human history gathering to see one person. i think it's becoming more secular. clearly it's not >>well i think in different areas of the world i would say it is. thank god in the philippines there's a tremendous amount of faith. and what a message it is to us. one of the thing pope francis said is be careful. your economy is one of the fastest growing economies in asia. be careful you don't tall into materialism. material things are wonderful things but if we start loving material things then we lose the most important thing. we look and say gosh there's something right going on there. >> and hearing a third of people

in the philippines are living in poverty. it's different than here in the united states. one of the most touching moments we've been talking about when the 12-year-old girl who used to be homeless and traing in by the christian community. she's fighting back tears because she asked the question why so many children around the world bad things happen to them. they're sounded by drugs and prostitution. he said that's a question that can't be answered. bigger picture not just the poor. why do bad things happen to good people? >> pope francis said the only way to begin to answer that question is to cry. isn't that amazing? to cry along with you. when bad things happen to good people i think god is the first one to cry with us. most bad things that happen to us are done because of our own free will or the free will of someone else doing terrible things. another thing that is fascinating. you don't see a lot of

politicians rubbing elbows with pope francis. what he's done is said bring me the poor. bring me in the suffering. and those who are suffering and it's a great message to us. it's easy to say, yes, we have to fix poverty in theory. how many of us in our own lives have somebody who is suffering. sbhb who poor that we're serving. we're touching firsthand? i think what he's telling us is we don't have that. there's something missing in our lives. >> and finally, i just think it's remarkable the popemobile. for years we saw the pope behind the glass bubble. he asked he wanted the pope popemobile open. >> it's dangerous. let's be honest. people give him drinks. you know, like the famous latte which which he stakes it. he decided i don't know how long i'm going to live. i'm not going to any distance between me and the people.

88 years old and he says i have -- 78 excuse me. thank you very much. thank you. you told me earlier -- >> i think what he's saying is i care that much about the act of love that i'm willing to risk death itself. >> i wish we were all like that. thank you, father. >> no more bullet proof glass for you. >> okay. i'm does the punishment fit the crime? we'll debate it, next.

a high school girl's basketball coach in southern california suspended and faces accusations of running up the score. his team won a game 161 to 2. his coach says he wasn't trying and even benched his star players. so does the punishment fit the crime? they're here to debate it. thank you for being with us. >> thanks for having us. >> we'll start with you. you're the bad guy in this. you think this is just fine. >> when i saw the story originally i wanted to strangle this coach but there's more than meets the eye here. he met with the opposing coach and explained he wanted his team

to play hard. then put his back up bench players in the second half of the game. not sure what he is supposed to do. >> come on they lost 161-2. was that the score. i think there's a sportsmanship lesson that needed to be caught to these kids. at what point is it just like throwing their nose in it for these kids. >> you can see it in fifth or 6th grade a little bit more. it's a very lopsided score. no doubt about it but i think the other team how do you score two points in the game? they had to have contributed and layed down to come extent. >> they're 15-18 years old. do you think they'll end up in a psycho therapist chair later down the line? >> i hope not but i do hope they're sitting back one day saying i remember that game and what i could have done differently as a coach if they

are future coaches because many athletes become future coaches to say how can i inspire kids instead of making them feel so defeated. >> would you feel different if it was a sport that caused bodily harm? if it was boxing or rugly or football. >> yeah, boxing match was going to keep pulling the guy up and knocking him out and getting concussions left and right. that's another story. if you're coaching a team that's a very solid team, that's filled with a bunch of stars that can play the game are you supposed to tell them to tone it down and not try. are you supposed to tell your second string players to tie one hand behind their back. >> if you're an a student and always get a 100 should you make the rest of the class feel better and get a b or c. >> i was out to dinner with friends last night and with a child on a very competitive soccer team.

he said they have a soccer coach and they do something called red, yellow green. when they are killing a team it's like a code this team has to say slow down, ease up we're killing them. we're going to win and i love that. i think it's really awesome to teach kids at a young age. >> a lot of lessons could be learned on both sides and the coach included. everybody continuing to weigh in on this. a lot of folks talking about it this morning. when his exgirlfriend dumped him just before their big vacation he found a stranger with the same name to take her ticket. so did he find new love with this new lady? hear from him, next.

good morning today is sunday 18th of january 2015. a fox news alert. a positive one. overnight a record breaking 6

million people gather to see the pope in the philippines. >> and overnight, the teen bonnie and clyde team finally busted after three weeks on the run. he's 18 and she is 13. we have the dramatic details and video tape. stay tuned for that. >> earlier we introduce you to this guy. when his exgirlfriend dumped him before the big vacation trip he found with a stranger with the exact same name to take her ticket. after all that this jilted traveller still can't find love. your e-mails are pouring in on this one. fox and friends, four hour, starts right now. wow. look at that. there it is. i don't want to talk over the drama here. that is curling of course. the national sport of canada and we're going to do it later in

the hour. >> this team able to slide into first here. >> look at her curl. an olympic sport by the way. so many people asked for our rink to come back. people want to see more ice hockey. january is a really boring month, let's be honest with you so we try to beat that boredom by having some fun outside. we have been ice skitting and curling and drinking hot chocolate. >> well it's been pouring but even if it's pouring we're going to go out there and melt to pieces. we don't mind. we'll be curling in just a bit. >> tucker's a secret curling expert. >> let's get back to that news report. 6 million people gathered in philippines for pope francis's historic mass. >> that capped off a five day trip to the philippines. >> more on the message the pope has for the world.

>> good morning to you. it's been quite a trip for pope francis. he has attracted many millions of people where ever he has gone in the philippines and today it was the biggest crowd of all. the so-called mega mass in the main park may have brought together as many as 6 million people. despite steady rain they gave the pontiff an exuberant welcome. pope john paul ii attracted millions when he held mass there. the philippines is the only country in asia where the majority are catholic. the catholic church is preparing for the 500th anniversary of the religion arriving in the country. evangelizes to the asian world. he dedicated the service to the victims of the typhoon that devastated the country in 2013

and warned the millions of the evils of poverty and corruption. >> man has also destroyed the unity and beauty of our human family. creating social structures we perpetrate poverty and corruption. >> prone francis's three day visit to the country is nearly over. he heads back to roam tomorrow. back to you guys. >> thank you david. we appreciate it. we have new details this morning on what the president will say on tuesday as he delivers his state of the union address and it's an economic plan. it's a tax plan and spending plan but it's really his economic theories large in one sentence it will raise hundreds of millions of dollars from the richest americans and from wall street it will redistribute that

money to others. >> here's how it breaks down. he'll eliminate that break on inherents. you were taxed the whole way and while you're building the wealth you'll be taxed again. increases on capital gains up is 15%. you sell a house in fewer that two years you'll pay 15% captainital gains. >> and imposing a big fee on financial firm with assets of over $50 billion. >> it will go to a $500 second earner tax credit. the federal government encouraging both spouses to work will expand the child care tax credit per child under the age of 5 and expand the earned income tax credit to workers without children. >> those are for people making less than $210,000 a year. the president says he wants the

gop to put aside gains and get work done along side him. >> our job now is to make sure that every american feels that they are a part of our country's come back. that's what i'll focus on in my state of the union. how to build on our momentum and i'll call in this new congress to join me in putting aside political games and finding areas where we agree to deliver for the american people. >> if you want to talk political games how about the one you're playing right now. this is likely not to pass congress anyway? are you doing this to enrange republicans and make them look evil. this is not a serious proposal. we lift families up and grow the economy with a simpler flatter tax code. not tax increases to pay for more washington spending. >> it's the one thing every one agrees we should fix it doesn't

address that but it will make our tax code more graduated. a small group of people will pay for more things and you can make a case for that but here's what else it does, no skin in the game. more americans will be receiving more goods and services from the government than they pay in and that means few of us have an incentive to reign in government spending. we're getting to a point where most people are dependent upon the government. >> that also means more democratic voters because they want to keep seeing those. >> does this encourage small businesses and large businesses sitting on a lot of cash right now to hire more workers? >> private sector businesses create more jobs. >> exactly. >> mike on facebook writes us this morning as with his free college announcement this is a popularity push to increase class warfare sentiments with a contentious period in congress. we need jobs not hand-outs. >> on facebook there should be a

$320 billion cut over 10 years instead. this would result in more than working americans can spend and less than our government can waste. >> you mean that would be less money going to washington? how would that help the people writing the laws and the president? i don't think that's going to happen. >> keep your comments coming. >> go to our facebook page. >> on to the rest of your headlines making news on this sunday. fox news alert now, overnight terror suspects arrested in greece part of a massive crack down in europe in the wake of the terror attacks. they're not linked to a raid conducted on thursday. authorities there saying that cell was on the verge of launching attacks on police. they protect the united states embassy and other key buildings in the country. soldiers now patrolling the streets. >> isis mysteriously releases 200 yazidis captives in iraq.

the christian minority in iraq was captured in the summer after isis raided their villages. remember them being stranded on the mountain top there? it's not clear why they released the prisoners after brutally and mentally devastating captivity. >> in love and on the run no more. new this morning police arrested the kentucky teenagers dubbed the modern day bonnie and clyde. they caught them sleeping in a stolen truck behind an ihop. the two accused of blazing a two week crime spree across the south. >> who hasn't done that. and your job might really be driving you to drink. a british study says people that work 39 hours a week are more likely to be risky drinkers. women more than 14 drinks per

week and men 21 drinks and work a work-a work-a-holics turn to booze to relieve their stress. >> you're planning a big trip with the love of your life. hong kong, poland, all around the world and suddenly you get dumped by her. what would you do when the tickets have already been bought. >> and they're nonrefundable and they have her name on it. you need someone with the same name from the same country. >> you put a post online and say hey anybody with this same name come forward. well he apparently had 18 girls by the same name. this is his exgirlfriend. >> that's jordon on the right and his exgirlfriend elizabeth gallagher. >> right so 18 of them came forward and the one he ended uptaking around the world they

went to paris milan, all over the place. >> there she is. >> did any romance happen for him? >> i had zero expectation. i was trying to make sure an awesome trip didn't go to waste. i was going to travel alone and a friend of mine said why don't you mind somebody that could use the ticket. this was never a romantic endeavor at all. this was just about trying to do something good and give someone the opportunity they wouldn't have had otherwise. quinn and i have a brother and sister relationship that came about naturally. that's the best outcome i could have imagined. >> she already had a boyfriend. can you imagine being that boyfriend? >> heyhoney i have this opportunity to go on a trip around the world with a guy, a random guy. i don't know that i would allow that. i don't know if i could sit back and say that sounds like fun. go ahead. >> the hotel chain that let them have two separate rooms funded this trip because it ended up

being for charity, trying to provide trips around the world for other people in the future. >> would you do that? honey i'm going to travel around the world with some random guy. >> this guy you're safe. i would rate him the least threatening man ever. if you're looking for a man to take your girlfriend on the around the world trip and never bother her after a few beers this is the guy for her. >> he created a charity out of this for people in poverty that have never been able to travel and see the rest of the world. he created this ticket forward as the name of the charity he created to help give people the chance to go see the world like that. >> looked like they had a great time and they're making it possible for a lot of other people to experience other cultures as well. >> viewer comments said way to salvage the trip. looks like they had fun. >> sandra, i'm single.

maybe he should have picked me for the trip. >> i feel like if you go around the world with a girl and you're single, you should hit on her. >> that's sanity. you should at least make a play. >> he didn't promise that he didn't try. >> i don't think he tried hard enough. coming up a veteran gets a letter from the va telling him that he is dead. the problem, he wasn't. how did that happen? his shocking story ahead. >> more on our top story, the incredible show of faith as a record 6 million people gathered to see the pope. what can we take away from the pope's message here at home? we'll ask the former u.s. ambassador to the holy sea, next.

>> overnight heavy rain didn't stop 6 million people for gathering for pope francis's outdoor mega mass. he dedicated it to the poor children around the world. he shared this touching moment with the former homeless girl that asked the pontiff why does god allow so many to suffer. so how does this pope manage to gather the hearts of so many around the world. >> good morning. >> just to get your response on the pope's visit to the philippines. >> extraordinary event. a big hearted pastor really who is now the pastor of the world but has also given voice to the poor and the people on the lower end of the economic scale worldwide and certainly in the philippines and has great appeal

to all people i think because there's just too many people in this world on this globe that are still suffering. now over a billion people a day that are malnourished and 25,000 people a day that are still starving and this pope is tuned in to that and has a real feeling for that and it's really resinating i think throughout the world. >> so as ambassador to the vatican, you knew the previous pope john paul personally. compare this the message of this pope the style of this pope to the pope you knew. >> they're very different men and of course this pope has much higher energy level than pope john paul ii had in the wayning year of his papacy but there's also a lot of similarities.

they're really rock stars in a way. they're so genuine and authentic and, you know, this pope lives that simple life. he's not a hypocrite in anyway. he has given up on a lot of the thrills of the office. he lives in a modest two room apartment in a little guest house inside the vatican so he walks the walk and people respect that as well. i think, you know he's come along at a -- at the right time. at the right moment. he's trying to give dignity and restore attention to people in this world that are still really suffering. that doesn't mean that people that aren't have to diminish their life. he just wants people to share and, you know, some people question his economic ideas and i do too at times but he is so

genuine about his agenda and his concern and the voice he has given the poor that he is really becoming a worldwide figure of great adoration. >> that was evident overnight. the largest gathering for any one human in world history. great to see you. have a great weekend. we appreciate your thoughts on this. >> thank you. >> coming up next the world is still on high alert. terror suspects are all over europe. they might be forced to. the question is why. >> he lost his leg 34 days into a tour in iraq. despite his struggles this marine landed a role in the hit movie american sniper and it doesn't end there. this american hero has a new mission. he joins us live, next.

at ally bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like mute buttons equal danger. ...that sound good? not being on this phone call sounds good. it's not muted. was that you jason? it was geoffrey! it was jason. it could've been brenda.

quick look at your headlines now. the nypd may be forced to scrub it's guide from fighting terror from its record. the new york post reporting top secret talks against the nypd. it has them considering a demand to erase the report from his web siets. >> hundreds march in washington d.c. to show support for police officers nationwide. organizers began planning the blue lives matter march after two new york city officers were murdered in their patrol cars. the whole thing in response to antipolice demonstrations. >> if you got anyone in your family that cares about the u.s.

military and service to our country gather them around the television right now. one of the most inspiring stories we're going to hear. he endured 46 surgeries, 23 blood transfusions after his humvee hit a triple stacked ied causing him to lose a leg. he now has a role in the new film american sniper. it doesn't end there. that's the beginning of the story. now he has a new mission to tell us about. joining us from dallas is the retired u.s. marine corporal. thank you for your service to this country. >> you're worth it. good to see you too. >> thank you. i want to get into this story. we're going to get to your story in iraq in just a moment. how did you come to star in this new film which is breaking box office records over the weekend and is going to be a huge hit. american sniper. how did this happen? >> yeah, you know, they contacted me on facebook. a woman from clint eastwood's production company and i thought it was bogus actually.

i thought it was -- it was in the outbox. it wasn't in the inbox and it was actually legit and i called jeff kyle who is a good friend of mine, chris's little brother and i said is there any legitimacy to this. and he said yeah man it's directedly clint east wood and then i called them and of course right away he started ribbing me. hollywood. >> you thought it was a spam message. you almost deleted it. >> i seriously did, yeah. >> wow, that's crazy. take me back to the story and to what happened to you in iraq on that faithful day when your humvee hit that ied. >> yeah that was a long day at the office for sure. we were on a react and we hit a triple stack and i was in the lead vehicle in the driver's seat and the pressure plate ignited. as soon as the front left tire hit the pressure plate goes down.

bomb goes off. blew upright underneath me. blew me to the top of the humvee. i like to say because god's a comedian i never lost consciousness or went into shock. i remember the whole thing. that was a rough day at the office for sure. >> it's an amazing ending to the story. then you're in the hospital being treated. you look up, doctor says to you, female doctor says to you we may have to not only amputate your leg we may have to take this ring finger off your hand. your hand got mangled. what did you say to her and what ended up happening. >> it was a doctor it wasn't her but it was a doctor that said jake we'd like to amputate your fourth didgit and i said if i wake up from this operation and there's anything else amputated off my body don't be on the right side of my bed because there's nothing wrong

with my right arm and i'll choke you out. so he said i take that as a no? and i said yeah that's a no. but she asked me after the fact just to prove her professionalism and how seriously she takes her job. she said why wouldn't you let hem amputate your fourth digit and i said because one day i'm going to find a woman that loves me just the way i am and i'll wear a ring on that finger proudly and it will have a use then. hook line and sinker. >> did you ever see that woman again? >> yeah, we're married now. we just had our nine year anniversary. ended well for me. >> unbelievable story. she found an incredible person. now, you have your leg of course amputated after the ied explosion. you're getting on skis to help wounded veterans. explain this to me. you're doing remarkable things here. >> yeah, listen you know, i'm a

glutton for punishment. my buddy runs the adaptive training foundation and we're doing this through the high five foundation and david was like hey, jake, i need you to do this skiing scene and they want to make a documentary about it and originally i was like i'm not doing that and five minutes later i was like yeah i'll do it. so what it is is he's training me to get on skis again and snowboard. i'm doing both. ski and snowboard over a five day period out in lake tahoe in march. so he's setting me up and training me to do it. he's not nice to me in the gym. that's the only place that we don't get along. but it's awesome because it gives me a chance to show other warriors that have been wounded and anyone if you've been in a car wreck or tragic accident it

doesn't matter the physical limitations you have your mentality can take you much further than you physically think you can. >> well, jacob, you are an inspiration. i'm sure our audience feels the same way. if anyone wants to help they can go there and help to donate. >> yeah. >> we appreciate it. thank you so much. >> thank you guys. god bless. >> and go see american sniper this weekend. thank you so much. coming up here on the show, let them eat cake or in this case, pup cupcakes. >> i'm giving full amnesty to cupcakes. >> you're going to hear from the lawmaker that says government shouldn't control what your kids eat. that's next. plus you're not the only one that needs to bundle up this winter. what you need to know to keep your pets safe this winter. ♪
